Hello,
I'm facing a problem that I can't seem to solve,
I've installed WatchDroid and it works very well, but I still get call notifications from the Amazfit app no matter what i do (I tried disabling notification access, phone access...).
The only solution I found is to completely close Amazfit app, but I'd like it to stay in background for sport / hearth sync
My watch is INT version A1612, rom 1.3.6d STOCKified, Amazfit app from playstore.
Thanks
Sync Amazfit app with watch to make sure your data is saved to the cloud, then erase app data in phone settings or uninstall then re-install it. When you open it again, don't give it permissions and it should work.
Just uninstalled it, but now when login, it says : login impossible : null
Hope it's a temporary server problem lol
EDIT: OK, was a router problem. But still having dual notifications
You have uninstalled then installed Amazfit app, not giving it permissions and it still gives you notifications? Are you sure one of the notifications is from Amazfit app and not both from WatchDroid?
Yes, positively sure, watchdroid shows the contact picture
I think the Amazfit app is hard-coded to watch for call and transfer them to the watch, for the moment i'll kill Amazfit app everytime
But it is very strange because if you have denied the app permission for phone., etc and to notifications then it should be not possible for it to know when there is call... Unless it's hacking the system somehow...
Maybe it's because I'm using a Xiaomi phone running Miui ?
I think I found a workaround,
Turning on silent mode on the watch seems to block Amazfit app notifications, but not WatchDroid ones...
Nice. It seems that it also happens with other phones too, a Galaxy S6 user reported the same issue on a FB group. Probably Amazfit app relies on some other method to always get the call notifications (you did revoke app permissions to SMS and Phone in phone's App settings, right?).
I've revoked it in app setting, and also tried blocking all phone access with appops without success.
The downside of silent mode is that there's no more vibration on WatchDroid notifications

Hello,
I have been using the BIP for about a week , everything is going pretty good but I think I have conflicts with Mi Fit app and Notify & Fitness.
When I receive an email , I get 1 message on the watch telling me that I have a new message to check my phone and another one giving me the sender and the tiltle of the mail.
How do you set the two apps to have only the message with the most info ?
I tried loads of things but it never works like I want to
Thanks for you help
Damien
you can't have both apps to show you notifications from the same app (for example messenger)
either check to have notifications from mi fit , either from notify
of course if you choose notify you will have more options
This is how I am set.
I gave permissions , etc...
I do get notifications now from notify & fitness but I don't get any text!
I did set N&F to show text ! OR is it a PRO only option ?
Did you sorted it out?
Yes , i had to desactivate everything on mifit and I went to notify & fitness pro.
Thanks
Ok. With this config I had issues. I ended installing mifit but when I go fat from the phone, sometimes, i doesn't re connect... I have to reboot. Do you have the same ?
Dear all:
I just bought an AmazFit Bip and despite the watch is really good, i have an issue with the notifications.
I have tested the following issue with both MIFIT and NOTIFY & FITNESS apps from Google play.
The issue is that for most applications ( whataspp and others) when i receive a notification on the phone ,it sends it to the watch....... This is ok but, instead of simply receiving that notification on the watch, the watch start to show OLD notifications ( up to 6 ro 7) before showing the current one.
I have a samsung s8 Plus and I have disabled the "app monitor" to avoid the system killing the application in the background but it does nothing....
Similar behavior with the Notify & Fitness app.... Any Idea why this is happening..... Thanks
It's not just me! I just started wearing my Bip today and the notifications were driving me crazy. I'm running Oreo on an Asus ZenFone 3 so it's not a Samsung-related problem. I'm hoping it's a bug in MiFit that might be fixed in a future release.
Same here as well. This causes me to grab my phone and address or dismiss notification right away so I don't have to keep receiving them on the Bip everytime I get a new notification on the phone. Pretty annoying indeed. Fingers crossed that it will be addressed.
God, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. When you have multiple people messaging at once you CAN'T turn them off because it won't let you on the DND screen. It just vibrates for minutes... .Crazy. Hopefully they fix this.
Thanks God I am not the only one..... This was driving me crazy... Please HELPPPPPP
Yes its iritating..does anyone ever look "tools and amazfit" on playstore? It looks promising
Turn off app and SMS notifications in Mi Fit and use the free Alert Bridge app from the Play Store instead. It's much more customizable than Mi Fit and works perfectly.
Hi all.... It seems that with Alert Bridge app. the situation was resolved for some hours...... However now every time I receive a notification, the watch shows first the previous notifications received ......... before it shows the latest notification..
I do not understand why the watch cannot show only the latest notification received......
PLEASE HELP
Hello
Here my findings over the last few days...
I have an Samsung S8 Plus. What I have done is to deactivate all application notifications in the mifit and start monitoring each of them individually
1.) Whatapp is a mess and does not work with MIFIT . Instead use AlerBridge
2.) the application MESSAGING ( SMS) from Samsung should be deactivated from the MIFIT application. Use the Messaging from MIFIT app, but do not activate messaging in the app list.... This created a lot of issues and double text to me.
Since the last 2 days, it is working for me with almost no issues.
hope it helps

IMO Nofity and Fitness APP does a better job than MI Fit on everything. I completely uninstalled MI Fit app.

Exactly the same for me !
I tried Notify & Fitness and uninstalled Mi Fit and it seems that my Bip was not connected to the phone without Mi Fit. Am I missing something?

I think you need to unbind it in the mifit app and rebind it with the new one.

Since i don't use the Mi fit app anymore, i am not sure, but i remember that there is an option in the menu, to remove the watch from the app, OR you have to click in the menu on the watch and then remove it.
After that, in the N&F app, click on the Repair iin the menu.
Based on the OP description, I think I have a slightly different problem and wonder if anyone else has my problem. I don't receive old notifications again, but it will notify me "endlessly" (it eventually stops, but not with consistency). It usually happens with Hangouts and most often when I have multiple Hangouts messages that aren't dismissed or the notifications read. It's more common with group threads, but definitely happens with one unread, undismissed message notification that is a single person (not group thread). I usually have to both dismiss the notification and mark it as read, and then I'll be able to scroll to the Clear button, though I still have to scroll past the same problem message 10+ times before I can get to it. I can't usually reach the Clear option when this occurs without doing those two things. It isn't every time, but is very annoying and happens often enough to be very irritating. Does this happen to anyone?
I'm on a Pixel 2 running 8.1. Not everyone mentioned their OS, but it seems that Oreo has been common to those noting problems in this thread so far.

Yup, I have exactly the same issue. OnePlus 5 running custom ROM (Oreo). I am going to try the BridgeAlert app.
Does anyone else with a Pixel 2, has the same issue that I have regarding the "hang up" call button doing the same thing as "ignore" when on an incoming call?
Cheers

Do you have Oreo on phone? It seems to be related to Oreo, check other threads about the same issues, not only using BIP but Pace/Stratos too.
Is there any setting option that enable the watch to collect unread notifications from the same sender like,
If Mr. A sends me "one" then "two" then "three" (3 notifications in total)
Which i didn't see or reply on both phone and watch.
But when I check on my watch, there is only one latest notification shown.
I would like it to be shown all.
Can it be possible?
Please help
Thanks
What watch? How do you expect an answer without providing device and firmware details?
If it's a Pace/Stratos/Verge, it works like this only with WeChat. Third party apps that manage notifications may do this too, I know AmazMod does doesn't (yet).
Sorry
Sorry for unclear
My device is Stratos with 2.3.8.0
Watch Droid notifications behave like this for WhatsApp. You'll see all 3 notifications separately on the watch
Oh, you want to actually "ungroup" the messages, not "group messages from same sender"... Then you can install AmazMod, you don't need to install the service APK on watch, simply install on phone and disable push notifications in stock Amazfit (you must keep it installed) then configure AmazMod to suit your needs (make sure "ungroup notifications" is ENABLED).
Thank you lfom and adityavaidya for your help. :good::good::good:
Actually I face this problem.
I am using Line messenger as my main messenger service.
It is ok if different people send me message once each. The watch can show all the messages. But there will be a problem when there are more than one message from the same sender. The watch will show only the latest one.
I've tested with other service like Whatsapp (which I rarely use). There is no problem like this.
I really have no idea how to fix.
Thanks
Have you installed either amazmod or watch Droid? Amazmod may be easier because you only need the phone app

Lovely new Amazfit GTR 42mm (International version) arrived from gearbest this week. I’m having serious issues getting it to simply receive notifications with the notification text (e.g first few lines of an sms / WhatsApp / email). Here’s what I’ve tried to resolve:
1) Phone has Amazfit app installed.
2) Bought “Tools & Amazfit” : doesn’t pair with GTR42 even with manual entry of Bluetooth address. Uninstalled.
3) Installed “Notify & Fitness for Amazfit”. Does pair with watch but not able to get it to show notifications with text. Uninstalled.
4) Installed “Tools & Mi Band”. Same issue as 3 above. Uninstalled.
With all above attempts, I’ve tried switching on notifications on both the 3rd party app and the Amazfit app, notifications on one app only...nothing seems to work. They are connecting but often the notification just says “message received, view on phone”.
Anyone else having same issues? Firmware on watch is: v0.0.9.26
Thanks, Nemov
I have managed to get SMS notifications to show text by only installing the Amazfit app (no 3rd party app installed), and restarting phone and watch, but I receive 2 notifications for the same SMS!...annoying. Tried turning on one or the other notification on/off toggles in the Amazfit app info section but that makes no difference.

I'm on the same 42mm international version. Same firmware version, and I'm not seeing that I'm afraid. Single notifications for most.
Same Amazfit app I presume. I connected it to the prev account I had for the BIP and all that came through fine.
Texts are fine, emails from gmail fine. I am getting two different notifications from outlook, but when I check on the phone for some reason there's two notification lines for each email on the phone so the watch is simply replicating that.
Same with me. I have GTR code name A1909 with firmware 0.0.9.26 (Only chinese UI, doesn't support UTF8 notifications).

Hmmm well at least I am not the only one! My GTR model is A1910, but firmware is the same as yours. I've just been living with it... I found that neither of the popular apps "Tools & Amazfit" or "Tools and MiBand" did anything to improve the notifications, in fact "Tools and Amazfit" doesn't even recognise the GTR, even if I manually enter the bluetooth MAC details. So both useless at the moment for me and a waste of £3 per app. Maybe they will update soon to speak with GTR properly.
Thanks @maxihod - glad to hear at least some are working fine! Makes no sense though. I was wondering if it has something to do with my phone (I have an Xperia XZ2 Compact) - it shouldn't make a difference but its the only variable I can think of.

Hi @nemov.. I'm on a Mate 10 pro. I also purchased the Tools and Amazfit app for my previous BIP that I had.
I notice that that app is only for use with the BIP, MiBand and Cor.. all of which use the Mi App rather than Amazfit App. When I re-installed that app it was then also asking me to re-install the Mi Band app as well, so I guess no support for the GTR in there just yet,
Hi, there. I changed my smartphone into new one with PIE operating system. Problem is that I can't get SMS notifications to my Amazfit Verge. With old smartphone with Marshmallow everything was fine. From some apps like sports apps I getting notifications about games starting, but from Amazfit app - I don't. Incoming calls I getting, others like Google Mail notifications, calendar's and ect. I did not tested yet. I checked in settings permissions, but in SMS there is no Amazfit app listed, in others sections like Contact, calls and ect., Amazfit is listed. When I activating in smartphone "do not disturb" mode - SMS notification I getting. But when this mode is deactivated - no. Strange problem. I don't know what to do, now is weekand so I can't ask about Amazfit or phone manufacturer about this problem. Why Amazfti app is not listed in SMS permission section? Any idea? Somebody have this problem too or can advise how to fix? SMS is one of important notifications for me, it's the same important as to get incoming calls. Thanks in advance for any help. By the way: Amazfit is already updated into newest version (if i'm not wrong 3.4.4) and Amazfit Verge is updated into newest version (if I remember right 3.2.5.0), smartphone operating system is updated too into newest version. I tried some things to do. But if say honest I couldn't find there is problem (I mean why in permission isn't Amazfit listed) and why SMS notification working only when is "do not disturb" activated. Thanks in advance any solution is welcome, but keep in my I need solution, even if someone have or had this problem.
