Hi, is there any way to count steps for whole day?
At the moment it hardly count 2000 steps a day while my other fitbit count more that 9000 steps .
I am talking about whole day steps not training . ( it works fine during the training )
and I am refreshing the watch activity log , sync the app on the phone . it is not a misunderstanding of how to use the watch , the watch is not counting my all day steps.
Tried factory reset , update firmware. but nada .....
:crying::crying::crying:
I have the same problem.mi band says ~5000 steps and stratos ~1000...
What is happening?
I am working in a cafe-restaurant so no continious walking....
It seems that latest international firmware version (2.3.4.0?) on Stratos has problems with steps, and some users reported that at least during an activity it got better after disabling auto-pause... Try disabling auto-pause on activities, start and discard activity, then restart the watch. Maybe it helps until they fix the problem in the next release.
I tried stratosfied too.again the same results.mb it is faulty hardware???

No dont think so, i have the same issue since last firmware update. That and a battery drain (two days max)....
I dont have the latest firmware.i have 2.0.24.0 and still have big problrm with step counter.it ciunts only the 1/5 of what mi band 2 counts....
Before 2.3.4.0 I tested against Garmin Vivoactive 3 and it showed more or less same amount. But now with latest firmware I think it is not counting correctly anymore. I think we have to wait 3 more weeks until next firmware update.
I ll wait and see then....after that if it wont fix them i lll go for a replacememt...20 euros miband 2 counts better than 180 euros stratos....shameeee
Garmin start counting steps after 10 continuous steps to avoid too arm movement. I think Stratos have similar filter but start counting after about 30 or 40 continuous steps So for daily count each time you walk only 28 steps it count 0 But on activity if you walk 2500 steps all steps are counted.
So it is the hardware limitation and it wont be fixed in the future??i wont to know how many kms i am doing daily and not only when exercising.
Mi band says 9-10k steps every day and stratos only 2k steps.
Xiaomi made a big mistake here.the watch is for trash....

No : Just a software feature. Just made to avoid false steps with arm movement.
Even if you walk 3500 steps with a lawnmower it count almost 0 steps
I know almost just Fitbit trackers wich have no issue to count steps on arm band. My Fitbit One at the belt has about same steps count than my other Fitbit tracker : Surge, Alta, Charge, Blaze or Versa. So if Fitbit can I think all over can but they would not
It is just software and fixable. I read the Chinese forum and there were some complains about counting steps while driving car. They tried to fix this. I guess they set the limits of to hard because my steps average decreased after the firmware update.
However, even promoted everywhere steps count is not a useful measurement of your fitness and activity. Even Garmin is measuring wrong. Pushing baby stroller is not even counting as steps. A much better indicator for your activity is intensity minutes as recommended by the American Heart Association. One should at least have 150 intensity minutes a week. Also for Garmin devices this is the only reliable metric. Unfortunately it is not implemented in Stratos. Also use resting HR and average HR as measurement of you health.
World Health Organisation say that we need to walk 10 000 steps by day.
A step is measurable at anytime, others things are more subjective. Even a distance is not a good value because some can have 2 x more steps and energy for same distance.
I'm having this issue as well, anyone found any solution?
having the last firmware installed 2.3.4
I notice a lagging between real steps ad the watch counter
sometimes it reflect live (counter follow the steps) sometimes not
but after a synchro with the app or at the end of the day steps measured seems correct.
It still counts far less steps than other devices. Especially while working short distances like at home or in the office. For me having 6000 steps on Stratos compares to more than 10.000 on Garmin.
Yesterday 6500 steps on my Garmin Vivosmart 3 and 3400 steps on Stratos. So not usable with very big difference. Can not reflect the activity so no interest.

Hi there. I’m getting exactly the same hing with my brand new stratos. Have you found anything that helps please? Bloody annoying not having a basic fun room like this working properly

Reply from Amazfit Support
So i got the reply from Amazfit Support
it looks like they changed their step counting algorithm and made it s_u_c_k the way it is now . they think this is better !!
All in all , i think this watch become useless for me .

Yes, totally unusable for me now. When it count 3400 steps at day when Fitbit belt clip (so real count) count 8600 steps it is totally wrong and nothing todo with real activity. So only issue is to keep in a drawer

Mine went off the charger at 11pm, Thursday, Aug 28. Lite usage through Monday, Sept.1
At 1am I had 38% or 10h 25m remaining.
On a typical work week, I get 2 1/2 days on one charge, with the power saver set to "normal",
the lowest setting.

Sorry, don't have the screen on time from this, I don't check it because it isn't what's relevant to ME. What's important to me is how long I can use my device for my regular stuff without charging.

Hi! Can I just do a quick check with u regards the China version. Is it the one that's with their in house processor? And if they come with gapps installed? And the lte band? I for sure can't use the US version in Singapore but I read some specs that the China version lte band may be compatible here.

You must choose MT2-L05 version in order to get LTE working in Singapore. It is with Huawei in house Kirin processor which different from US Snapdragon 400. You just need to download Google.apk and installed on this China version HAM2.

Thanks! But what do u mean by Google.apk.. As in playstore.apk? I used that method on my Chinese rom ham1 but I could not get contacts and calender to sync. Only a fully functioning playstore is available, and it does nothing else.
I am sorry if I hijacked this thread. Ham1 section is almost dead...

Hi! PMed. Thanks!
The battery life on this phone is like nothing I've ever seen from a phone or tablet. It's absolutely incredible.
This is with 3h30m of OST, time with no signal on the subway, listening to music, and otherwise heavy usage.
Web Browsing Battery Life
Check out these results from AnandTech. Would love to hear some comments/replies.
For a 6.1" phone, 720p resolution, & 3900mAh battery...Mate2 still out performs any other smartphone in its category.

I got a rooted mate 2. what do you want me to do now?... IDK what that is. but I have my hotspot on all the time which usually kills any phone but this phone holds on strong. i get like 12 hours of tether and also moderate phone use .Its at the point where I do not even care about my battery any more. Before when i got into my Jeep id plug in my phone for a road trip or whatever and now it just stays in my pocket or cup holder.

Nearly 9 hours off charge. 1 hour of listening to radio/podcasts. Other time spent Checking emails and looking at Web.. .. .. I am currently at 86%. I will not charge it until I get down to near zero.... We will see how long it lasts. I'm guessing sometime on Saturday, lol. I will let you know.
Battery Test
I quit my battery test once I hit the 2 day mark. Let me start off by saying I did this test on a week day so I'm not limited to my lazy day weekend phone usage. I'm in the I.T. field so i'm a power user when it comes to smartphones. My phone is my central hub to my life. The things I use daily and can not live without is phone, text, EMAIL, Facebook, Dropbox, my flash light widget, Evernonte, Google Maps, Amazon, eBay, Pandora, and Camera. I know that sounds like a lot but I promise you I access every one of those apps on a daily basis at least twice a day. (flash light for dark places behind desks or when on the porch at night). I have the power setting to "Endurance". Keep in mind I followed the correct profile settings also. The only two I used out of the four is Normal and Sleep (the other two is meeting and outdoor). I also kept my screen brightness on Auto for most of the time unless I was playing a game or watching youtube. At night around 1 am when I usually go to sleep I turned my phone on "sleep" profile which turns off everything except phone, and text. Which I want left on in case my 82 year old grandmother needs to call me in the middle of the night for some emergency (or my brother gets arrested, lol). When I woke up I simply turned my profile back to normal which you can set to the way you like. I kept mine on the original settings. That being said I did not use my phone like it was under some battery test trying to screw with the results. My brother and I have had many phones in the past and all the batteries do not live up to the description. After 2 days of being off the charger. I woke up with 28% on the 3rd day and could not wait no longer to charge it because the power manager said I have another 9 hours of charge left. I prob could have made it through another work day but being the techie I am can not afford to have my phone die. My brother has a Note 3 right now and he swears i'm tweaking my phone to get these results. (hahah Samsung Sucker, I'm an LG Fan). I attached some pics of my Battery Stats. This phone is a flagship for all smartphones. I can't wait to see next years phone. I thought the display would be a little upsetting because its not 1080p but after doing a test next to my brothers note 3 with all out power saving settings off and screen on 100% brightness his phone only looked a little better then mine. like so little that he was getting upset. hahah kept giving me excuses of how the video is not really HD or its streaming different or bla bla bla. after 10 videos he was still talking sh*T. I was cracking up. This phone is actually brighter then the Note 3 which makes it look almost as clear.
As a Note I use Mobile hotspot in my car all the time because I have an in-dash Android Tablet as my radio and I need wi-fi to listen to Pandora and Spotify. I used hotspot about 4 hours within the 2 day test.
I also used in the two days that would consume battery:
Pandora - 2 hours
Hot-spot- 4 Hours
YouTube- 30 Minutes
Games - 30 mins
Facebook- random check ins all day
XDA Free- random check ins all day
Text (screen time) no way to guess. I text all day. hahahaha
Play with settings- 2 hours
Live wallpaper - sucks power ( I had it on)
Started downloading this morning, just applying it now. Changelog didn't say much at all. improvement to android etc etc.
Update was 600Mb roughly.
Hoping it allows wifi-calling and similar home UI to new Lg v30 ..here's hoping!
This is in UK btw - purchased the phone from an online retailer. Taiwan version I think.

Seriously...how difficult is it to come up with a proper Releasenote? This tells us exactly nothing....
The Phone feels pretty well with this update. in a german forum, a guy said he got 30.000 more in antutu, sounds pretty high.
My LG G6 (H870DS) went from a score of about 105000 in Antutu with the previous firmware to about 145000 with this new one.
After a second test with this new firmware, Antutu score increased to 150500.
Also tested Geekbench 4:
CPU - single-core: 1755
CPU - multi-core: 4063 (about the same as with the previous firmware)
Compute: 7074 (about 6000 with the previous firmware).
No new update here and I am in India

I also got this new update. No changes, but my impression is a smoother smartphone. I Hope someone can unlock damn bootloader.
Still nothing on T-Mobile CZE, can I do manual update? Thx for reply... I will appreciate if one hand mode can be fixed. It works like a lottery ..
Applied yesterday. Now my G6 doesn't last a working day till battery runs out. Phone runs hot and android system uses 25% battery.
anyone notice the battery life is now really solid with V10h? either that, or my battery indicator is stuck!
fast charged from 15% to 80% this morning. since then, took several photos, banged out some SMS and Whatsapp msgs, read a few emails, took a couple calls. not exactly heavy stuff. however, my phone is STILL on 80%, more than two and a half hours later.
will see how it plays out for the rest of the day, but this is looking promising ...
edit: now over three and a half hours, still @ 80% ...

Same situation here. Updated 2 days ago and battery life has gone from pretty good to terrible and phone runs really hot. Performed factory reset but not real difference. Any suggestions?
Guys, can you give me a hint how to do update manually? I downloaded any LG up software but not able to install it. Disappointed
When will we get unlocked bootloader? Is there no opportunity to falsh a manipulated bootloader via Qualcom tools?

Resting heart rate and heart rate in general is broken
Hi
I upgraded from 2.3.7.0 from 2.3.5.0 yesterday. I've logged about 660 miles of running and cycling with 2.3.5.0 since early September.
Unfortunately heart rate seems to be broken now - on the phone app and on the heart rate app on the watch I now see -- rather than resting heart rate. I also see some very strange 'spikes' now during inactivity (just sitting on my laptop, browsing) which I never got before.
Also on the the first run with 2.3.7.0 after hitting the green 'Go' button the watch completely froze on the next screen, speed / mileage / HR was just blank and not updating - I had to do a long press on the top button to restart the watch.
I've restarted and rebooted 3 times since going to 2.3.7.0 and I regret it.
Do not upgrade to 2.3.7.0 is a general consensus?
Huge thanks for this! I was thinking to update or not and now, definitely not. Ironically, update supposed to fix "abnormal heart rate".
Heart rate for me is definitely more accurate in 2.3.7.0 and I didn't notice any other differences elsewhere. Previously in activities heart rate would always be higher no matter if I was just sitting down and doing nothing or actually doing the activity. Now it's more consistent with actual heart rate.

What was your previous firmware?
I did not go to 2.3.6.0 due to the back light bug, or 2.3.6.1 due to heart rate issues reported.
For example, since moving to 2.3.7.0 I see a minimum heart rate of 44 BPM reported now, before this 'upgrade' since September it was always 47 BPM and now off course resting heart rate (which is usually 52 - 54 BPM) is no longer reported at all.
I found with 2.3.5.0 resting heart rate with Stratos was very good - it was within 1 or 2 of my Wahoo Tickr bluetooth HRM and pretty much the same as Fitbit Surge. Stratos is always useless for heart rate when running or cycling and I do not think firmware will ever fix this which is why I use Wahoo Tickr for activities, but resting pre 2.3.7.0 was always accurate.

On my watch, continous HR didn't work. The green light didn't show.
Floors climbed is more accurate.
I stopped updating at 1.3.6.1 today. The only reported problem with 7.x is HR precision?
WTF
I updated accidentally. I had selected to skip this version but it was offering update and constantly losing connection to phone. So when I clicked to see an notification the update message jumped under my click and updated.
God bless me...
If I get any issue, there is any way to downgrade without unlock bootloader?

I'm new here so I can't post any links but if anyone wants to see HR from 13th December with 2.3.7.0 vs HR with older 2.3.5.0 firmware from 10th December let me know
HR looks awful on 2.3.7.0 - gaps in heart rate, strange spikes and complete reading loss, and off course no resting HR (--)

Hi there!
I've got the same problem. Neither restarting nor rebooting are no help!
The remedy for this is following. You have to perform unpairing your watch from the mobile device (use application for that) - it is going to cause the watch rebooting. Next - on the mobile device delete your watch from bluetooth pairs (use bluetooth settings). After the watch rebooting is completed, pair it again (scan the QR-code and do all the other steps). Deny the suggestion of restoring user data (that is IMPORTANT!). After the pairing process is completed restore you settings manually.
Of course you will lose the data and statistics you have collected. But the watch is going to start working again.

Thanks for the suggestion but I am not prepared to lose over 3 months data, over 660 miles since September. It makes the watch pointless to track progress.
I've contacted Amazfit support with screenshots showing the heart rate issues, 10th December 2.3.50 data is great, 13th December with 2.3.7.0 is just a mess
After over 2 years software development and still weekly updates, I can't understand why the s/w is so bad after over 2 years development. Great hardware (apart from optical heart rate sensor) but the bad software really is a killer
Apparently everything is ok...
HR is working flawless as always!
Tomorrow I'll run and let's see how will be the behavior.

I suppose I can wait a while longer to update...
I agree with comments above. It's just ridiculous that they cannot make sw right. And unpairing/pairing... Really? In 21st century we have to waste our time to fix damn gadget.
Btw, if you sync first, your data should not be lost. In reality, most probably you are going to lose data of the current day and the last night. Always happened to me with unpairing/pairing.

I backed up using the Amaz backup software here on another thread, then unpaired / repaired.
It doesn't fix the problem at all - if anything is made things worse as now I lost Continuous heart rate monitoring. This no longer works at all when it is enabled - if you go to screen with the Continuous On switch, it activates for about 15 seconds, then turns off again as soon as you go back to the main watch face. I
Sometimes HR randomly comes on again for about 15 seconds - I guess this is why there is so much missing data from my continuous monitoring.
Heart monitor comes on ok during a Sport, or comes on fine if you do a 'Check' with the green button on the heart app, so its not a hardware problem - it's software, something in 2.3.7.0 totally broke something so deep it can't be solved with a reset - must be a persistent setting somewhere.
I'm beyond fed up now.
Well, looks like you supposed to not restore backup. Neither using official or unofficial way.
About continuous hrm, it's not really continuous. It's measuring in some intervals. Maybe every 15s or some. Otherwise will drain battery too quickly. Resting hr to show up also takes some time, maybe even 24h. It makes sense, watch needs to measure long enough to calculate your resting hr.
But this we should not have this conversation, update supposed to be tested before release. Now we are beta or even alpha testers. But if company like MS can do that...

A couple of points - I've backed up but not restored anything. I've speng nearly 2 days trying to solve this, probably about 20 reboots / power off / factory reset / unpairs in total.
When continuous HR is set to On with previous firmware, the green LEDs flashed all the time, 24/7 even if it wasn't on your wrist. This is how its supposed to work (and did with 2.3.5.0) and how my Fitbit Surge works - with continuous HR monitoring, the LEDs will flashing continuously. They do not 'burst' for about 15 seconds, go off for a minute or two, then come back on again for a few seconds like with 2.3.7.0 behavior.
Once I can post links and put up some photos and do a video of what is going wrong - I'll be sharing this with Amazfit, and also my vendor, as at this stage with a half marathon and marathon coming up soon next year, I really need a reliable watch. so also looking at refund options sadly too
I'm pretty sure that green LED os not flashing all the time... Anyway, you should report problem as we all should. More reports, bigger chance they will solve bugs.
I reported many bugs and issue already. Most, if not all, are not solved

Sounds like I should umlock my bootloader
Hey, about two weeks ago I got myself a new S21. On the first day I was stoked, since I got 10hours of screen-on-time, a value that I never had before with any phone.
But the next day the illusion got destroyed, 3 hrs of screen on time. Something felt off, since I didn't even use the phone that much.
...long story short:
No matter how I use the phone (or not), the battery life seems to be the same. It doesn't make a difference if I use the phone or not, if anything, it feels like the battery drains faster when the device isn't turned on.
I tried to set ALL apps to "deep standby", turn all sensors off. I even turned all settings off which might cause anything to be running in the background, like tap to wake, aod, fingerprint, pick up detection and what not...
Still, I don't get more then 12-20h of total battery life. It doesn't make a difference if I use the phone or not. Even if I don't use the phone at all, after 20h it's dead. If I use it extensively, I still get up to 20h, but the screen-on-time gets significantly higher.
Obviously, if I was to run some stresstest all the time, the battery would drain faster, but that's not the point here. Im talking about normal use (Facebook, WhatsApp, light browsing).
Btw. It was running on the latest Android 12 build the whole time. And I just received an update today and no changes in behaviour.
Disable all power management!!!
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is active. You can't turn it off here!
Android will manage its self without this junk.
Find the problem apps and deal with them on a case by case basis. Take out the trash; FB, WhatsApp, Twitter etc... ditch that malware!
Device Care>storage, clean now and clear Google play Services data(repeat as needed).
Clear system cache.
Google backup Transport and cloud apps are prime suspects especially screen off.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services.
Use the factory load version of apps... update one at a time and observe for a battery hit.
Go back to Android 11 if possible.
Don't burn up the battery! Power down when hot.
Limit top charge to 80%, low discharge to 30%
Don't use in direct sunlight if so only briefly.
Keep brightness at 50% or less to save battery and display.
That comment is basically useless. You're telling me not to use my phone at all, since WhatsApp and Facebook are the only things I do anyway.
Also the thing about battery care is not relevant right now, I'm saying the device is basically new and the idle drain is an issue. How am I supposed to prevent the phone from overheating while idling?

yeah, right back at you
It's obviously a software bug somewhere, I'm just hoping that someone suffered the same and got a solution or hint. "Tips" like uninstalling WhatsApp are as useful as sending the phone to the trashbin and buying a new one.

Your tone is very rude for someone who is asking for help.
What you received as a support may not be fully giving you you wanted - but its free and showing the direction.
Sorry but it is as it is. His comment was useless and showed how he didn't even read my initial post, or didn't understand it. His generic reply about battery care doesn't help me either. And "try listening" also isn't the most polite way either
Nonetheless, I have discovered some articles which mentioned something about VoLTE drain. It should have been sorted out by previous updates and apparently doesn't even concern all devices. But trying is free, right?
I have disabled VoLTE and enabled all battery savers. I got 10h of screen on time and about 36h of total time, which is great! (for a S21)
Next step will be verifying the results by turning everything on again, except VoLTE. (note: I had tested the same scenario before, only with VoLTE on.)

I did answer your question but you decided to get ignorant.
There likely is no one specific easy fix for your problem. I spent many hours optimizing my device... far longer then you.
When the battery life dies again and/or you get erratic behavior don't say I didn't try to warn you.
If you're too lazy to troubleshoot your own device, don't be crying and insulting others trying to show you where you might start.
I don't have battery issues...

Here is a screenshot of my battery backup. I don't play games. Just normal usage of phone.
Yet battery backup is horrible. Can someone assist me?
I think there is a defect in my unit
Have the same battery drain.
I think the problem is general we will waiting an update for that no another solution
Likewise, battery life is terrible on standby and while screen is on, Motorola need to fix asap to resolve this debacle.

8 hours SOT isn't bad
Here's mine
Was this ever fixed?
Unfortunately no, the only things I have found to help is disabling NFC and setting Suspend execution for cached apps to enabled in developer settings.
One guy on the official forums for the phone pointed out that there's missing management of the cores, so most power hungry core(s) stays active when it should be off: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/motoro...n-issue-while-Idle/m-p/5133194?page=9#5817360
Motorola hasn't appeared to acknowledged the issue, most likely the support team is out of their depth.
My two cents is if the Android 13 update doesn't help, this phone will never have good battery life. At that point it's unlikely Motorola will revisit the battery drain on this phone and actually fix the issue.
EDIT: Also important to note, the auto mode for refresh rate doesn't appear to do anything but run 120hz unconditionally, so manually setting your phone to 60hz is sometimes necessary if you know you're going to need endurance. A lot of battery is lost to stupid things like this.

this appears more to be an issue with the current version of the system. And not a deficiency with the phone, but yeah the a52s looks to be real good.
