how to install "http://gearfaces.com/" themes at my gear s
i had tried with no luck
any help
What don't you understand?
Watch Styler
You can download Watch Styler from the Gear store for free and use that to push the watchfaces.
When you download the file, you move it to device storage (android/data/...watchstylemanager.gear3.s)location, then in your Watch styler you load the theme you downloaded.
I purchased this from the playstore and was refunded immediately why will it not work for Gear S even though it says it does?

The app description specifically mentioned in bold that it does not support Note 4. I remember you have a Note 4.

I also have a Note 3 which I downloaded it on and it did not work I also have a tab S and a Gear 2 and a Gear S. So again why does it not work. I did not install it on my Note 4 but I'm glad you think I did. Maybe the developer should answer thus one as gearfaces. com works for my devices just not the paid app on playstore
I think most of these apps need to be re-worked to work correctly on Gear S. The common mentioned Watch Styler app needs you to manually delete a folder after you created a watch face in order to be able to deploy to Gear S. That really defeats the purpose of a paid app.

Watch Styler is a free app. But it is very buggy and the lengths you have to go through to load a custom face is ridiculous. It works pretty well for creating custom faces within the app itself, but you're very limited with the amount of customization you can do without resorting to using a custom face like Gear Faces.
You don't need to do anything with the folders if you're just customizing within the app. If you want to make a fully custom face or use something like Gear Faces, you need to create a watch face within the Watch Styler app (on the phone), with all the components in it that you want in your custom watch face. Then you have to go into the folder for that watch face you created (using a computer). You replace all the files in that folder with the custom files you want and rename the new files to match the old file names. Once you have done that, you should be able to load that watch face and instead of being the original watch you made on the Watch Styler app it looks like the custom watch face.
It's not as hard as it seems by reading this, but it's really hard to explain in text. THere are some Youtube videos. I had to read a lot of posts and use a lot of trial and error. After several hours of research and copying and pasting files, I finally got this to work.
Im the owner of Gearfaces.com and I did not give any permission to make this app please report this app....

I'm having the same problem where I download the zip file from gear face, then put it in the folder you suggested and still not able to load it on my watch styler. Do you have a indepth video online explaining it?

I do not, I apologize. But this only works with the gear s faces and not the normal gear faces(which are really cool), when you're on the site(gearfaces.com) search (gears) all together and you will see the faces made specifically for the gear s you can download and use this procedure, make sure when you move it, before you can see it you need to load the theme in the watch styler app itself. I hope this helps.

Hi I own a gear fit 2 and did some wlaking. It nicely shows my speed and heart rate on S Health. But I saw some pics with maps. Does anyone know how to make them visible, either on the fit2 itself or on S Haealth?

on fit 2: main menu, then training, then on the bottom: show log, then select your workout and scroll to the bottom for the map
on s health, (have it synced with fit 2), find the type of activity, then under trends you can find your workout and just tap it to get all the details

I found that already but it appears that there is not always a map there, at least when I did my first walk.. Maybe this has to do with having a gps fix or not.
One more thing: there is a whole bunch of data on that page, but I miss the number of steps I took. Is that still hidden somewhere (still used to my fitbit)?
I was just wondering myself. If you figure it out please post the solution.

Funny, I saw the OP but never say your reply since I was on my phone. I got back after my run and found the map exactly as you have laid out here. Thanks.
No map too
I have same problem today. I run and the GPS work well. I saw my running route displayed in the log but not the map. I tried sync with s health but it still did not work. Anyone know how to display the map so that I can share it on my facebook?

I tried your instruction. Still no map displayed
You must activate location checkbox on setting "exercice" in the Fit2 app
When you start an exercice you see the GPS icon (same that on the phone) blinking until the Fit2 Fix location.

Thanks dersie. But I can confirm the location is lit green by default. I never switch it off. In fact the GPS is working because I can see my running route been traced but there is no map.
Me too
I have a similar issue, but with me, the mapping only seems to work when connected to the phone via bluetooth. if the phone is not present, then the mapping does not work. Is this the case?

The map is sending by the phone at least first time. So I think the Fit2 can not display a map if it is not received (so not paired) by the phone. GPS record only GPX data but it need map picture to stack data on real map.
Hi, anyone got the solution to display map on gear fit 2?
It worked for me once when I was hiking in Korea. The map was displayed in both my fit2 and later in my facebook posting. After I returned to Singapore (my home), I used fit2 for runs twice and no map appeared on my watch both times. I also cannot display the map in my facebook as a result. I will go down to Samsung service centre to ask for their advice soon. Stay tuned for updates.
Is your phone connected to data (3G/4G) during the exercise? if not, then you can maybe try it and tell us.
Of course the Bluetooth between the smartphone and the gear fit 2 must be activated.
I think that since the Gear Fit 2 doesn't have the map of every country on his memory, it has to get those data through the phone.
The problem is how to load our local map into the Gear Fit 2.
Would like this solution as well. I purchased mine from Korea, am currently residing in Singapore which doesn't display the map on my fit 2.

Please let me know. Thanks!
I believe because the Korean set use Naver Map instead of Here Map used by the international set, you can see Naver logo bottom left of the map in your fit2 device. Naver map only cover korea and Japan I think.
The map should be embedded inside the firmware, need to find a way to flash it with international/US set firmware
I have the same problem. I solve doing a Light reset. The mapping with the trajectory become visible
And after 4 days the problem returns. A Ligh reset again ...
I'm in the same boat, I don't see anywhere in the Gear Fit2 app or on the watch itself to display or access GPS data. As far as I can tell, there's no "Training" section anywhere on the watch
e: Ok, so under the exercise tab, you can scroll down and view the log, but still no GPS data or maps are present, though you can drill down into an activity and it'll tell you the time, mileage, and calories and offer to share with facebook
That's exactly the screen that the GPS data *should* be on. The one that lets you share on FB. So once you get your phone to download the map data and have a clear view of the sky at the same time, while having started an exercise on the fit itself (like walking, for instance), you should see the map data.
Just wish they'd let you do a bit more with the map after the fact. Like satellite view, for instance...

I'd love a native app with a map / gps coordinate showing. There's Plenty of space to do 1 state at a time. Where are all the devs when you need them lol

Hi,
I want to introduce you my new App for Amazfit Stratos.
It has an App for your watch and an App for your mobile. It records your routes and allows you to upload them to Google Fit and Strava.
The main difference between this one and the default one is the size of the numbers. This one is good for people with presbyopia like me
You can download the Apk for the watch reading the App Help here https://bilbosoft.wordpress.com/2018/10/23/help-speed-for-amazfit/
The mobile App is hosted at Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.speedforamazfitmobile
Try it and give me feedback.
Thanks
Any feedback?
nice work!
How does it interacts with the built-in system? do you rely on your own connection to Strava?

The Watch App records the route and when you finish, it sends it to the mobile App that uploads it to Strava
I like the idea since this could be another step to a completely offline solution. Are the data fields costumable? Why do you use blue background? Black on white or white on black seems to me giving the best contrast.
Can't try this out though, since I own a Pace.
If have this app for the Sony Smartband Talk SWR30 and the issue is the distance displayed with 100m resolution. Not very usefull for walk, better for motor engine

The background is black!
The data are fixed.
I will change the Watch App to support Pace as well.

Hi Pacosal,
I am using Amazfit Stratos,
1) is this App calculate the distance itself or read the distance from sport activity?
2) when using this App, is the watch will record the sport activity?

I like to try on this apk, because the Amazfit give me the different mileage as compare to gpx file,
1) will it void the warranty after install this apk?
2) is it possible to uninstall this apk later if I feel not comfortable with it?
Thank you

Is better to install nothing and to keep watch as clean as possible.

Installing ANY APK won't void warranty, and you can uninstall them any time you want, at most a factory reset will remove all installed APK.
That being said, if you get "wrong" distances on watch/Amazfit, you may want to check if 3D Data is enabled, it uses the altitude to calculate the correct distance. If it's disabled or OK, then try disabling auto-pause or choose something different than "stand still", as it's very sensitive and may produce errors.
I installed this app onto my Amazfit Stratos and test it (on vehicle),
During the test, ’Workout’ remain zero, what is it?
after i press, upper button, the App turn to ’pause’ , but immediately turn to ’running’ again, when the car stop, the App will also automatic turn to ’pause’, in the setting on the phone, i choose no ’automatic pause’, below is the setting on phone,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CgFCZAanmtUoKXMCXw3lZSCCIF3G07Fa/view?usp=drivesdk
After the test, i press the middle button to stop, and select to save the track, below is the result shown on phone,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rY7jbxDPtGPHnflTWTfhspqZFXX5xG8l/view?usp=drivesdk
But the date and time shown very strange, ’workout’ also shown zero.
Also no track record sent to Strava, where I can download it?
Hi pacosal,
I like that app, congratulation for your work.
I was looking an app like this ... for running with my xiaomi m365 ... eheheheheh ... but the numbers (even so) are still small
Will it be possible to make a new screen only instantaneous speed and travelled distance ... with BIG BIG numbers? ehehehehehe
I don't understand this App !
Hello , I want to thank you first for you work on this app. I'm also did some apps for android with Eclipse....
But I tried the app, and the displays seem not very simple to understand on my stratos. When I'm moving I can't also identify where is the speed ? the total time ? almost is 0000, sometimes a number seems to be the km/h but not very sure and not accurate at all. Idem for time. There is still to worrk !

Hello pacosal,
Thanks very much for the app. A very useful layout of the screen.
I just have one problem. You say that the right top button should be used start/stop. However in my case this button always sends me back to the home screen. I see no way to configure that differently. So I don't see a way to start recording. What am I missing?
Just one spelling hint, stopped is written with two "p"'s.
Thanks again!
Hi,
Thank you for developping apps for Stratos.
I'm also a presbyopia (as majority of >50 years old).
I'm looking for a simple app which displays the date of the day such as : Monday 29 May with very very big fonts.
Hello !
I bought yesterday an Amazfit GTS (lava grey color) to go with my Xiaomi Mi 9 and I'm very satisfied about the watch (design, quality, screen, battery lasting, ease to use Amazfit app is very comprehensive and clear).
The only problem is the watchfaces.
First of all in the watch only two watch faces are installed and blocked and can't be delete (juste few posibilities to personalize it). There' a third watch face possible that can't be applied but that's it, if I choose a new watch face it delete the third face already choose.
Three faces are already poor concerning choice and with only one wich could be change it's become very very poor....
I have also à Samsung S3 Frontier and the number of watch faces stocked in the watch is infinite
This problem disapoint me ! Does a solution exists to install more than one complementary watch face at the same time ?
Moreover, I've tried to download watch faces from the two folowings apps "Amazfit GTS" and "Amazfaces" from the play store and I can send directly the watch face choosen on the watch but after that these watch faces are never displayed on the watch faces avalaible on the Amazfit app in "on line watch faces". I can find only the one which are factory watch faces...
Could you please help me ?
Have a nice week-end !
Try my app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=paolo4c.gts.watchfaces
you need to apply the same watchface you chose from 3. For example, try the one called DIGITAL, then open AMAZFIT and apply DIGITAL watchface

Hi,
During a long outdoor activity, I'm not really interested in all the details of the workout. I would rather have a nice watch face to look at and when the activity is ended look at the details of it.
So I was wondering if it is possible to enable GPS tracking in the background during the day or have an activity with a normal watch face instead of all the activity details?
Hello,
I do not know all the parameters of the watch, but to have searched, it seems impossible to launch the GPS without going through an activity and therefore the display sport watch face.
In your case, if it is possible for you, I will choose to record the position (and the route) by the phone, rather than the watch... With the zepp app you can start an activity on the phone, it will look for the sports data on the watch and the GPS signal on the phone and the watch wiil keep the "normal" face

Thx for the reply! Already suspected it, but thx anyway. Phone is not really an option (milsim events), so I think I just buy a second device for the recording.
Sorry, but on the older amazfit watches like amazfit pace, etc when we are doing workout we can have simple maps( just line and direction ) on our watches.
Which workout provides the same functionality on gtr 3 pro. I cant find the maps on my watch when im doing outdoor workout
