Hi,
so today i've got the Amazfit BIP, but it's not working.
The problem is that i can't pair it for the first time.
After i've downloaded the Mi Fit App i wanted to pair the watch and i'm stuck on the pairing screen with the green and the red button. The watch doesnt react to any touch i'm making.
I've already tried the other apps like GadgetBridge and NotifyFitness, but it's always the same.
Is there a way to restart the watch?
Thanks for your help!
1. press the physical button to enable the screen touching
2. press the physical button longer(like 10 seconds or more) to reboot the watch
Hi there,
thanks for your reply.
But this does not work.
Nothing happens, just the backlight goes out
So you have to wait until the battery is down. I can't find another solution
same problem here!
i have the same problem; albeit mine is a new one.
i purposely have it unpaired; and thought "re-pairing" Amazfit Bip with my phone would solve the problem.
I was dead wrong. And now I'm stucked.
The phone were able to "see and recognised" the bip watch. However, the "Green" affirmative button cannot be confirmed as the touchscreen is NOT RESPONDING!
hi there,
i returned my watch and got a new one.
this time it works without problems.

This thread will be used to collect all the issues people are having with the watch and then have the solution for the problem right here so that they won't be asked multiple times. I will only list the issues with a solution available and I will keep updating this. Be happy to expand the list on your own.
So let's get started...
Problem:
The watch doesn't vibrate although vibration is enabled on the watch.
Solution:
Make sure the app which doesn't vibrate on the watch is set to vibrate on the phone.
-----------------------
Problem:
The screen stays on while charging even when the "always on" option is disabled.
Solution:
First place the watch in the charging cradle and then disable the "always on" option (this is more of a work-around and not an actual fix)
-----------------------
Problem:
Some sort of driver problem.
Solution:
Can be found here.
-----------------------
Problem:
Can't pair the watch with another phone after you have paired it with a different one before.
Solution:
You will have to factory reset it.
-----------------------
Problem:
The watch hung up while booting or similar and now it's stuck as you can't restart it.
Solution:
You can force a restart by pressing the reset button for 8 seconds.
-----------------------
Problem:
The watch won't boot when put in the charging cradle (with power plugged in).
Solution:
Try holding the reset button for 1 second. If the watch boots the cradle is broken. If it doesn't the watch is broken.
-----------------------
Problem:
Accidentally swiped away a card and now it won't come back.
Solution:
Do a google search (eg to get back weather search for the weather) or reopen the app if it was an app-notification. If this doesn't work check if the google now card is available on the phone. If that is not the case, just wait they will reappear (it can take quite some time though). If it shows up on the phone but not the watch, unpair the watch and then pair it again.
-----------------------
Problem:
Google search shows "disconnected" although the watch is paired and connected.
Solution:
Unpair the watch and then pair it again. If this doesn't work (sometimes it doesn't) restart the watch.
Awesome tips, buddy! Here's a few tips for people that aren't aware:
1) Mute (pulling the screen down from top to bottom): This will stop your notifications and vibrations, but they will be there when the watch face is touched. and also prevent your watch from turning on/becoming active when you move your arm around or lift it to the 40 degree angle.
2) Quick Watch Face Change: Without having to go to "Settings>Change watch face" every time to change your watch face, all you need to do is touch & hold your active watch face screen until it shows you the Watch Faces folder.
I have bought an amazfit bip watch some times a go and it was working very good.
Except for the button, a couple of months ago the button stopped working. It only works rarely bu pushing a much harder. I didn't dropped it from my hand or something. using only mi fit application.
So far I have tried, reset app, factory reset. Install app etc. Full charge.
I don't want to open the watch. Are there similar issues to anyone who is using.
Maybe there is outthere some software solution, at least to wake whatch from app only, as button is not working anymore.

Most likely this is a hardware problem.
In my watch, button working well one year now.
Hello,
My Amazfit Bip is bricked on that "Connect APP to update" screen.
With MiFit, my smartwatch is never recognized.
With GadgetBridge, I connect to the smartwatch without any problem.
The smartwatch seems to "work" : I can ask GadgetBridge to have it vibrate, I can get activity etc.
With "Notify & Fitness for Amazfit", I have successfully flashed firmware 1.1.5.16 + GPS + RES (the screen changes to the firmware update screen). However, at the end, it does not reboot and remains stuck on the same Connect APP to update screen. The menu "reboot" or "factory reset" of GadgetBridge does not do anything.
Can someone please help unbrick it?
I would gladly try a more recent English firmware, but I haven't been able to find one. Links on 4pda.ru were down. I downloaded and unzipped a few Mi Fit apk, but they don't seem to have the Mili_chaohu files... etc
Thanks
Give this a try - use N & F to load a custom watchface (it doesn't matter which one).
This fixed my BIP in a similar situation.
Regards,
Eric
Solved after the battery drained

Thanks, Eric, I had tried that, but it didn't work. It stayed on the same screen.
However, I solved the issue this morning, because at last the watch ran out of battery (lol ! the battery life is so good I nearly waited 2 months!). So, it was "dead", and then I charged it again, paired it with N & F, and suddenly MiFit took grasp of it, uploaded A-GPS, firmware and resources and after a while the smartwatch is back to life

Can you tell me how you fix it? I am in the same situation and I need more information about how you fix it.
My device is not turning on anymore..
i did try all the solution with pressing the button in many ways, Both buttons for 30+ sec, only red button also and other trials. Nothing.
Then i opened the smartwatch and if i've disconnect the battery clip inside, After i reconnect the clip connection, the device started with Amazfit logo, then reach the watch time screen and after 1 second it flash the screen, then it turn off immediately. After that there is no way to switch the device on, the only way i found is this. PS: also connected in charge do not turn on.
The meaning is that the Smartwatch still working but i think there is a software issue,
There is any way to flash or reset by software the device? Any way to update it connecting to a PC?
I dunno why , but suddenly the tick part when you try to shut down the watch (lower right screen) stop working
It has no mark, scratch and what so ever. and the other functions work perfectly well.
now I cant turn the watch off nor reset it to factory settings
any idea on how to solve this problem ? thanks
