Battery/Bluetooth Speaker issue PACE - Amazfit

Hi there,
i have two problems concerning battery life on my A1612 Pace.
First i noticed that back in August 2017 my Pace had a battery life about 5,5 days with normal use. I used the latest PACEfied rom. Now with latest PACEfied or STOCKfied rom i have only about 4 days of battery life with same usage. Anyone out there who can explain this? Perhaps it´s related to the Amazfit App since release 2.0?
Second problem: when the Pace is connected to my iPhone and i´m listening to music with my Logitech Boombox (or bluetooth headset) also connected to my iPhone, the Pace´s battery is draining very fast. It´s like 25% of battery life for one hour of music. Looks like the Phone is sending the music (data) to the Pace too or something like this, otherwise i see no way for explaining this issue. Anyone who knows a fix for this? Btw this problem is not related to a specific rom. I have tested nearly every new release since August and this issue could be reproduced with any of them. At the moment i´m using the STOCKfied 1.3.6d rom with latest Amazfit App (iOS).

Solution battery and bluetooth, disabling wifi until new firmware version solve it.
Hi sirs,
I see a solution for the bluetooth problem connectivity, i don't know the real reason for firmware versions up to 1.2.50h and amazif pace version of the clock but the solution in this case its the next point to input in your device (*for me works ok and solve the problem for the bluetooth connectivity errors.)
I don't know the reason but after update the frimware to 1.2.49 the battery of the clock down in 10 hours aprox (when previously during 3/4 days). I see the wifi code for this frimware version kill the battery and make problems on bluetooth signal. So if you not use the wifi on device but yes use the bluetooth (unblock the phone, music, etc... really more functions that wifi actually) the solution its disable temporaly the wifi signal on devide previouse a real solution in the frimware from amazfit maybe on 1.2.51h or +.
So the temporally workaround to solve this point in the next commands:
adb devices
adb kill-server
adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
adb shell mv /system/lib/firmware/wifi /system/lib/firmware/wifi_off
adb reboot
Regards.

Sorry, did you read my post?
I don´t have any bluetooth connection problems and i don´t use wifi with the watch. And finally the watch still has a battery life about 4 days with normal usage.

Amazfit pace - notifications issue

Hello,
Guys i have a problem with the notifications on my Amazfit Pace (international version).
This happens very but very often. Whenever i receive a notification my amazfit app disconnects and reconnects immediately therefore the notification is not pushed to the watch. I tried all of the following:
1. I have tried every single version of Amazfit App and nothing seems to work.
2. I have unlocked the bootloader and installed Pacefied v2.6.4.1 (stable) and the problem still occurs.
3. I have Huawei Mate 10 Lite with EMUI 8.0 . I have tried EVERYTHING (ignore battery optimisation and manual launch of background processes etc..). Nothing seems to work.
This problem doesnt allow Amazmod to work fine on my watch and i am restricted. The problem also occurs with WatchDroid.
HOWEVER, i tried the AMF Notification system for my Pace and works perfectly. I get all notifications on my watch, no disconnections at all, however , i just dont like the interface of it!
Any ideas?
It is an issue with firmware/Amazfit app. You have to wait for new versions, or only use "standard notifications" (either in AmazMod or use Amazfit for notifications).

Thank you so much for your reply! Do you know any other members of experiencing the same problem?
I have tried to use only Amazfit without amazmod or any other service and the problem occurs. I have also tried to use amazmod only with the amazfit application to be off and again I experience the same issue. This happens for over a year now since I bought the watch
Try stock firmware with latest Amazfit from PlayStore, or stock CN firmware with latest Amazfit from Mi.com: I have Pace running AmazeROM (which is basically stock CN) connected to a phone with EMUI 8.0 too, and it much better since a few versions of Amazfit ago...

Do you have any problems with it? I had pacefied and and now I am using AmazIT which I still have the same problem... Do you have the same problem that I have as well? Disconnecting for no reason?
Guys any news?
No problems here using EMUI 8.0 and latest CN Amazfit and firmware (2.6.5.0). You must use only one kind of notifications: either standard (no replies) or custom (with replies). Do not try to use AmazMod when Amazfit app is syncing with phone or it may make the service freeze.
AmazMod only is supported in stock firmware, if you use a custom ROM then you are on your own trying to fix any problems...
I have this exact issue and it's driving me nuts.
I have a Pace A1602, ROM verison 2.6.5.0v1.1, unlocked, running PACEficator Project | WOS 2.6.5.0 ROM.
I don't use AmazMod or the other mod. I use the standard Amazfit app for sending notifications.
Very often, my watch disconnects, then instantly connects again. When I check my phone, it has a new message that should have been pushed to the phone.
How do I go about fixing this?

It's not a problem with the watch, but with the phone: some phones have interferences between WiFi and BT, notably some Huawei and Samsung phones. Or you didn't configure it correctly and Amazfit is being killed while in the background, this usually happens with Android 8.0+, MIUI and EMUI.
It's a Huawei phone. What is the best way to go about this? Disabling WiFi is not really an option, for obvious data cost reasons.
Also, I used this same phone without any issues with a Pebble 2 SE. Never any disconnects.

First, disable WiFi for a while to test if it's the problem. If you confirm it is, try connecting to a 5GHz WiFi network. If it doesn't happen, your only choice it to write to Huawei and Huami about the issue, Huami is aware of the problem (it is plaguing a lot of Samsung users, it is not their fault but they may be able to add a workaround in Amazfit app).
Guys in my opinion its not a wifi issue since i have an amazfit bip and it works perfectly with the mifit app and Notify. It happens only with amazfit app and pace. I believe (without being a programmer) it has to do with the notification system of the watch. Maybe its because we own mid range phones. If you use AMF notification system on pace it works perfectly. I have tried WatchDroid as well and it has the same problems with the amazfit app as well.

Amazfit Stratos 3 cannot find new firmware 4.2.2.1

My Stratos 3 is currently running 4.2.2.0 firmware.
Today Amazfit app has notified me a new firmware available: 4.2.2.1, but when I choose to upgrade, the watch looks for latest version and says it's on the latest.
Is there any way to force the discovery? I'm currently facing problems to sync sport activities between the watch and the Amazfit App and I'd like to test the new firmware to see it solves those problems.
factory reset, it worked for me

Hi Johny, did you do anything else? I have done already like 10 factory resets, and the only thing I get after the incredibly fast firmware download is "Coudn't download updates, try again", and if try again, "Current version is up to date", once and once again
I'm losing my nerves with this watch, it works really bad
I'm in the same problem... I did 3 favtiry resets without any result. After a factory reset wath download firmware but appears a download error and stops... My watch version is A1929.
Another stranger thing is inthe amazfit app apeears a message to download the lastest version everytime.:crying:
Make sure watch can connect to Wi-Fi properly, otherwise it won't download the update. You can connect it in the settings on watch (of course).
Thanks for your reply.
The download finishes to 100% but when it try to install appear the download fail message... The wifi connection is on, and it seems to download all the firmware.
It can be a servet fail or similar. But it download to the 100%, I don't understand... I try 4 times factory reset and delete amazfit app to in mobile with same result.
If you know how to use adb, you can try this:
1. Connect the watch to the computer using USB
2. Make sure you have a file named "update.zip" on watch's internal storage after it reaches 100% downloading
3. Check if adb is working with:
Code:
adb devices
4. If it does, try to start the update with this other command:
Code:
adb reboot update
It was very very weird.
When I was at home, my watch always told me it was on the latest version, but when I tried again far from home, it detected the new version (but I didn't have a Wifi around to download).
I then used my mobile Wifi tethering but I received an error on OTAUpdate module.
I did a Factory reset and I downloaded and installed it perfectly.
Really weird indeed... I was able to update also by tethering, wifi at home or office didn't work, so thanks for your help
Hi.
Finally I can update, I explain the steps I have done.
1-factory reset
2-pair the phone with amazfit app.
3- select the update in the amazfit app ( not the stratos, because if you select in ther fails)
4- put password wifi and update.
The most extrange thing is because the same steps I done 6 or 7 times before, with the same wifi connection.
Luck!
no need in factory reset, there was a bad file pushed to the OTA. it was replaced, everything should work out of the box.
I'm still not able to update but that looks like different issue.
When I try to enter wifi password in Amazfit app, press tick mark on keyboard it does nothing. On phone keyboard closing, window to enter password still there with password entered (no ok or other button) and Stratos 3 still waiting for password.
Maybe that is some incompatibility with Android 10 in Nokia 8.1?
Same issue.. Disappointed with this watch
Same issue here. The updated worked for 4.2.2.0 after many attempts but not the 4.2.2.1. I tried using the watch directly or the app.
Also, the watch quality is poor. GPS doesn't work properly for running even if trying different GPS combinations (GLONASS, GALILEU,)
I had the Amazfit Pace and it was great comparing with this one.. Really disappointed.
Really, so it suffers the same flaw as GTR/GTS? Another Huami failure?

Yes.. Just saw other pages about GTR / GTS. Exactly the same.
It takes a long time to get signal and I even had a run of app. 7 km that the watch recognized as about 13 km.
Doesn't seem like an easy and quick fix either..
I'm about to action the warranty..

What is the firmware version you have running?
How many times did you try?
I'm 4.2.2.1 got it upgrade first time I boot.
Tried 2 or 3 times accuracy is good. GPS+Galileo (I'm french)
But I'm facing some bugs (due to early fw) the time of my workout it 1 hour sooner in amazfit app (if I do it at 15h00 it's displayed at 14h in amazfit app) in the watch it's ok.
I had also to disable "workout synced notification" because it was never stopping to send notification)
Last think I've noticed some notification are double sent: ex Gmail
But has I said the watch was first only in English French language came with latest fw. Some of you have those bugs?

The GPS accuracy has significantly improved after the last 2 updates. At the moment GPS is very accurate and fast to capture signal.
However, the watch still has many firmware issues. For example, at the moment after a lap is counted during a race, the rest of the race is all messed up (not fully counted in the app although all good in the watch, the KM pace is 0:00, etc.)
I was expecting the watch would be only launch once a stable system was in place and after owning it for months I feel we are doing the software development tests ourselves...
This was very disappointing. I had the Amazfit Pace 1 and was really happy about it but cannot recommend this watch.

i also see this kind of bug all is ok on the watch but in amazfit app shows different things... i'm not sure it only concern Stratos 3. Amazfit App needs to be improved.
Anyone got amazmod or watchdroid working installed them but they don't show up on the watch anywhere

Zepp App notification issues with Stratos 3

Hi all,
I have been experiencing issues with the notifications on my Stratos 3 for a couple of weeks. Very often there is a big delay from when I get the notifications on the phone to when the notifications are shown on the watch. Another problem is that I get the same notifications again on the watch some time after (even if the notifications are already gone on the phone). Also very often notifications stay on the watch after being cleared on the phone.
I have checked that Zepp app is not battery optimized and that it has access to notifications. Not sure if there is some other permission that needs to be granted which might have lost when changing from Amazfit to Zepp.
I didn't have any issues with amazfit app, I think this started when they changed the app to Zepp....
Anyone else encountered the same issues?
I'm having the same issues with Stratos 3.
However, I had them already with the amazfit app.
I'm using it with the Galaxy Note 10+. Also battery optimization is off and all other permissions given.
Notifications work normally in ultra mode!
Any help is highly appreciated.
Mmm then it could also be related to the 4.2.7 firmware update that I did recently.
I have enabled the phone anti-lost feature and I noticed that the watch is constantly loosing connection even if it is 10cm far from the phone.
My phone is a Moto One Action

My first firmware was 4.2.6.0 and I had the problem already.
I read it was better with 4.2.5.0... but I don't really understand how to downgrade.
I have a Galaxy note 10+ Deactivating "find my mobile" didn't have any effect for me.
After updating to 4.2.8 I have the same issues with the notifications and lost connection frequency.
I will raise a bug on the Zepp app and hope it is looked at
Hey there,
I had the same problem, and Zepp was configured to be battery optimized...
I turned it off and now everything is fine !

Hi! I have the same issue and I had battery optimization "ON" for Zepp, turned it off and..no result. I believe its either a bug on the firmware or some minor tweak required on the ROM( its a custom ROM, not stock). But with the Stratos 2, same phone, same ROM, no issues whatsoever...
Guys, massive improvement: tried with an older Zepp version (Amazfit 4.7.1) and even if I havent tested WhatsApp notifications all the others are super fast and I had zero connection lost warnings! Wish you all the best of luck!
Hi guys,
COuld you dump your firmware and upload?
The only way I could receive notifications properly was using Amazmod (sorry if you own an iPhone) and turning off everything related to graphics/images in notifications. They are some seconds late, but still usable though.

Amazfit Stratos GPS isn't available

Hi, guys!
I have a Amazfit Stratos A1619, ROM 2.3.13.0 (last ROM). Since the last updade of the firmware, i am facing some problems with the GPS signal. Now the smartwatch can't connect anymore. I tryed to install/uninstall the app, did the factory reset, try on different phone, and nothing helped.
I was wondering if you guys can give a solution for this case.
Thank you in advance!
I had the same problem with my GTS2 , after an update the gps stop working . I've done everything but it won´t work. Since this sh1t has no wired (usb) connection, there is nothing we can do about it.
Same problem with stratos 3 working on ROM 4.2.5. GPS is not available.
It also looks like agps does dot update with Zepp.
I did several factory reset, uninstall/reinstall Zepp.
I'm bored of this Amazfit watch.
Maybe an issue with the Huami server ?

I think I found a good solution : I bought a second hand Garmin Fenix 5 !
me too, I have tried many times for Amazfit Stratos A1619, ROM 2.3.13.0 but all failed to catch GPS
Has anyone resolved that issue?
Same problem with my Amazfit Stratos A1619, ROM 2.3.13.0, no solution for the moment.
I have verified with ADB tool that agps files are up to date when swatch is synchronized with ZEPP APP, so this is not the root cause. Some times, GPS is detected very quickly, some times, never, at the same place outside, very stange. Can we downgrade ROM ?
I have same problem here. I used amazfit since 2017, and this happend. So dissapointed. I have try contact amazfit support, they gave me older version of zepp app, but still have agps expired and cannot be updated. Maybe it's time to move on to gamin
anybody solve problem?
