[Amazfit Bip] update new features - Amazfit

Hi guys, sorry if it was already asked, I searched the forum and I wasn't able to find an answer.
Is there a place where to see what changes the various updates made to the Bip?
Today I've received my device and Mi Fit app (iOS) updated to 1.0.86 but now the Mi Fit app (Android this time, I was trying to install a personalized watchface) decided it was time to do a new one (it's taking a lot of time, so I've no idea which version is getting installed at the moment).
I'm just curious to see what's new.
Thanks.

What to see a change log for MiFit? App store lists changelog for apps, and Android online stores list some of the changes, like this one:
https://apkpure.com/mi-fit/com.xiaomi.hm.health

Thanks lfom, but I meant the change log for Amazfit Bip firmware. Just to see what was improved or changed.
Update is finished, now I've the 1.1.14 version. I don't know if it's too new but I wasn't able to pair it to last version of Notify & Fitness for Amazfit, so no personalized watchfaces for now.

I see... I am not sure, but I think all updates for Pace are get from the manufacture's site in Chinese then translated. Maybe someone knows if there are announcements for Bip versions as well...

Did it eventually got an airplane mode ? (Check settings on watch)
Amazfit dev on twitter said they were on it months ago..

For the BIP?
It's not on mine.

There’s a DND function, that can be scheduled, but nothing about airplane mode.

How do you schedule the DND function on the Amazfit Bip? I only see 2 options: ON/OFF or AUTO based on if it thinks you're asleep.
I'd love to set DND following a schedule, like I do it on my iPhone, e.g. DND on from 11pm-8am.

Why not a DND that follows whatever is set on the phone?

Anyone helping building a new companion app to send data to the Stratos/Pace Watch?

Hi there,
i'm trying to build a companion app similar to watchdroid with wich i can send data to the watch and display them on a widget/springboard.
In my case i wan't to have my blood glucose level on my watch as i was used to with my android wear watch.
I have a simply app made with taske wich can read out a json from my nightscout site. This sadly work only via wifi.
Main problem is the bluetooth comunication. i've tried so many simply bluetooth apps and librarys via sideload. I can't even tell how many. Non of them worked out. Only some worked in watch to phone direction but not the other - desired - way. In almost every case, my phone could'nt even find the watch.
But since watch droid got it working, i know there is a way.
There is another way to get data to the watch: the notification system. Since i also could'nt get the notification listener to work on the watch, it is also not a starting point for me.
Last chance i see is automizing watchdroid and sending a file at a regulary scedule and reading this from the widget.
For the moment i just use Notify and fitness cause the Phone notification with my glucose level is persistent and the huami app ignores persistent notifications.
But get a new notification with my glucose level every 5 Minutes. On the phone the notification gets just updated, on the watch i get a new one. Over the day the notification stack gets fuller and fuller...
I'm not talking about geting this into a watchface, thats the next step after the next hundreds of steps.
Any help and tipps are welcome.
When a notification is dismissed on the phone, it should dismiss on the watch.
If you have the source to this app, you could make it dismiss it's notification and send a new one.

Hello,
what application do you use to get a notification every 5 minutes ??? you use a FreeStyle Free blood glucose sensor ??? I will be very happy to read you to know if you succeeded !!!

Yes, it's freestyle libre with ambrosia blucon nightrider for nfc readout and transmission every 5 min. The app i use is xdrip+.
The notification is persistent to keep the data collector service running, to show the value on the notificatiin icon even on the aod of samsungs.

ah yes anyway, the price of "ambrosia blucon nightrider" as we say at home "it stings the eyes". before you give me the answer I was wondering how you did to get back the FreeStyle scan, so I understand. on the other hand to use the nightscout, it is a little the course of the fighter ... a lot of account to create. damage that the app glimp or other does not regroup suddenly!
It's currently my intention to build a framework for both phone and watch to allow apps to get data from the internet at some point in the next few months. I'm stuck with work to do at the moment so don't have any time to put towards projects (especially not big ones like that) but in the future - probably
I'd ideally also like to get Android Wear (not Wear OS, it's an old version) working too, to allow at least some companion apps to function (Sleep as Android, Keep etc.). I've got the framework working fine (which does improve app compatibility, but no communication still severely limits what they can do), but the two way Bluetooth connection throws an error that I cannot find any documentation about, so it's on hold for now until I have sufficient time to investigate properly
This would be awesome to have a framework like this. In my case i would'nt even need real internet access, due to the web service is localy provided by the xdrip app. But this would open so many things and possible options to code. Let me know if i could help. I'm also short in time but willing to help.
Getting Android wear working on the pace/stratos would also be great. I tried out sideloading the micro apk for wear of xdrip+ and it worked out better than expected. No crashes from the app and even the integrated watchfaces were selectable. Of course there were no data shown and no low power watchface.

It might actually be possible to build a newer version of Android, source code exists for the CPU and MIPS sources exist all the way up to Oreo, but again that would take time I don't have (and space for that matter)
Just wanted to let you know, that thanks to edotassi i have a working widget with my blood glucose values on my Stratos.
https://github.com/edotassi/AmazMod
https://github.com/edotassi/AmazModService
Now i'm fine tuning the widget and maybe also the nightscout parts of amazmod. But i'm still learning.

Hi, great news. Will this work on Amazfit BIP ?
Since the Bip does not rely on the AmazFit Watch app, i'd say no.
Can you show on the photo the indications of the xdrip on the watch? how it works.
Hi, i'm now trying to integrate quinnys library into xDrip, to make thinks easy and to allow 2 way communication.
Since xDrip is a really big and complex project + i'm a noop i'm having trouble with providing a switch in the menus and finding the right place to start the service from. Maybe someone can help me out again.
I am also really interest of amazfit bit. I saw now, xdrip have one section called "amazfit synk service" look like can connect with this kind of phones. Are there news to see the value on the display?

None of this will work with the Bip, it's too limited
Is there any way to implement the clockscreen or widget from Glimp instead of XDrip on the Stratosphere. I'm getting better use from Glimp and MiaoMiao.

REQUEST please someone make agande\calender wathfaces for amazfit pace?

any reason to nobody make watcfaces like below screens?i searched but i found only for android wear. i hope developers make this style watchfaces. for amazfit pace thanks
There is no way to fetch calendar data on watch using the builtin features now. There is a standalone calendar widget that can be helpful. Next AmazMod version is rumored to add possibility of other types of data sync, that would include calendar data.

i found amazmod on github but cant find roadmap and release date for data sync.maybe i couldnt find on github.any release date for data sync calender feature for amazmod?
Actually AmazMod will offer a service for data syncing, developers can use this to create apps like calendars that sync data with phone.

If you are on Android and Apple Music behaves like any other music player, with controls in the notification drawer, then you should be able to control it too, simply configure Amazfit app correctly. I have never used AppleMusic on Android, so I have no idea how it works on these phones.

No, no appstore. And if it's the main purpose you are getting it I think you should think twice: Pace is a sportswatch, and it does it well. But it's not meant to run apps: it has very little memory (512MB) and runs a modified and streamed down version of Android 5.1 on a MIPS processor, you can run some apps on it, but besides the ones built for Pace (there are some here in this forum) then it will be a very good experience as it's not the device's purpose.

1 take note app on watch (with keyboard on watch)
2 voice record on watch( and send record file to phone )
3 and reply whatapp or steam chat incoming massages with keyboard on watch)

Upgraded from Bip to stratos 3 - dissapointed - missing basic features in Stratos

Hi everyone.
I have been using Bip for the last year, loved it, but missed few exercise tracking options, so after viewing few reviews I got the Stratos 3 in my hands. My first surprise was it does not use the mi fit app. So after pairing with the amazfit app I noticed quite quickly in comparison to Bip it missed basic functions like: smart dnd (turn on watch dnd when it detects you're asleep) off or scheduled is available only, unlock screen - let's you unlock your screen with your watch.
Finding phone via watch feels primitive, you cannot cancel the phone ringing from the watch, you have to basically pick up the phone and turn off the alarm directly.
These are the issues that popped out first in my head. I thought paying more would get me additional features, not trading in for nice daily tools... I wonder if I am the only one who's missing the smart unlock feature, that let's you unlock the phone with connected via Bluetooth device. Tried to add it manually from the Bluetooth list, but got error saying to make sure that watch is close enough... What pisses me is that Bluetooth transmitter that costed like 2$ is proposed to be added as "trusted device". The whole app and watch UI feels like a this is an alpha version. End of my rant, if you can point me in the right direction, please do so I'm all ears. Thank you. BTW, I'm missing the unlocking feature most, as I am on galaxy s8, with weak finger print sensor.

For Stratos/Stratos 2 there is an unlock option. That should be available for Stratos 3 too.
Go to Amazfit app, Profile, Amazfit Stratos (select your watch), Unlock screen...

No the option is clearly missing... Try the latest version (there is a new version 4 out). I assume that if it is disabled, a small hack of the app could enable it.

was able to update the app to 4.0.0, the option did not appear... nothing changed in that matter, do you have any hints so I could try to enable it?

Unfortunately, the option you metioned is not supported for Stratos 3.

GTS & iOS 13.5 Zepp notifications

Yo everyone o/
Just got my hands on a GTS and while it's a very nice piece of hardware I'm curious about something. As it stands right now, when I go to the notification toggles on the Zepp app to select which ones I want to redirect to my watch I get a short pre-populated list and an extra one in the bottom that says "Other". If I enable this "Other", every notification gets redirected which is not what I'm looking for.
My use case is that I'd like only my Slack notifications to go to my watch, but there is no toggle for specific apps that are not on the list. Any clue if that list can be rebuilt, or if there is anything else I can do to achieve this?
Thanks!

Case in point, I've sent that suggestion several times in the last 2 years I've owned the Amazfit Bip. I always receive a thank you email something to the effect of "we are constantly improving and updating.... " but so far nothing. I'm in the same boat and would like to filter the notifications to only a couple items, most especially from my continuous glucose monitor as opposed to getting all notifications. This is an IOS application limitation as there are several Android options such as Gadget Bridge, Alert Bridge, etc.

Unfortunately, I think from what I saw on my friend's iPhone, notifications redirection on iOS is quite limited. it is true that Zepp on Android allows you to have all apps notifications to be redirected to the watch selectively one by one. However, it is good also to limit them otherwise your watch will keep on vibrate at each notification. it can be painful at a certain level...

Zepp OS development (Amazfit GTR 3/GTR 3 Pro/GTS 3)

Hi,
I just got the new Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and wanted to see if anything unofficial could be tweaked or sideloaded.
It's running their new "Zepp OS" which there are very little information about. I guess it's a flavour of Linux or Android with a skin on top, but it won't show up in ADB. I can't find anywhere on the watch to enable developer options (similar to tapping on the build number, etc).
Huami said a dev kit would be released at a later date but... well, I don't want to wait , plus they are talking about watchfaces and "web apps" which makes me think it might not be native apps, only web-services anyways...
Anyone got more insights into this?
Thanks!
Its not an android for sure.

I am wondering if there is any developer who is interested in Amazfit smart watches could port the zepp OS from GTR 3 to GTR 2, since Amazfit don't want to update older watches, I have no idea if the hardware is compatible, but there are always great developers here with different and strong knowledge
On the new GTR3 it is possible to program the display to be switched on by wrist movement only during daylight hours, so at night it does not turn on the display ? I have already activated the do not disturb but only limits the vibration when the notifications arrive but not the switching on of the display.
Thanks for the help

inside the zepp app, choose display and brightness, Lift wrist to view info, start time and end time can be changed. Also, from the watch display setttings you can change the mode to all day but you cant edit the time schedule.

You should try the latest Zepp developer's website: https://developer.zepp.com/os/home and join their technical developers' communities to learn how to develop their apps inside their Zepp App Store. Slack Team Room: https://t.zepp.com/t/zepp-community-slack. There is an online global hackathon with multiple technical videos that you can learn and attend live technical sessions. I don't have the links, but I should be able to find them soon.

I think, We can't do it ... GT*2 are smartbands like hardware and GT*3+ are smartwatch hardware, with more CPU clock, more RAM and Flash.
