Pairing Stratos - Amazfit

Hello all,
Hopefully you can help. I have a new Stratos. Unfortunately discovered my OnePlus 3t has developed an autofocus problem with the rear camera. This means I can't pair my Stratos via QR.
Is there a workaround to pair the watch at all?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Originalstraygoat

This can be closed as I managed to use a magnet to focus the camera!

[Q] Zenfone 5 Frontal Camera quality

Hi, i bought a zenfone a week from now and i'm loving it, but...
When i use the frontal camera i am experiencing a problem with the light quality. I wonder if it is a hardware or software problem, and how can i solve this.
I can't use snapchat or take selfies with this problem, the quality sucks. I'm thinking in change the phone for a moto g2 if i can't solve it.
Thanks

[Camera] Redmi 3s Prime camera focus problem

I wonder if anyone of you have problem with camera focus. I want to know that it could be problem in MIUI or is it H/W issue?
Please help me with it.
Thanks
I also have the same problem where the Redmi 3S main camera doesn't focus and all pictures captured are blurred.
Same issue here, started after installing custom ROM
Does it happens for only the back cam or both the cams? It might be possible that there is dust inside the glass which affects focus. might want to clear your lens from the inside.

redmi 3s is most bugged phone in the history of xiaomi. this one unlucky fella got no love of xiaomi leaving it without any single android upgrade or latest security patch.
According to me that auto-focus issue may be a wrongly designed mechanism, as I have experienced this issue on all camera apps in playstore and custom rom I have tried
Lol front camera is fixed focus camera so don't expect so much.
My Xiaomi Redmi 3s camera also can't focus anymore because the camera's autofocus problem suddenly happens on my phone. I also cleaned the camera lens from the inside and the results didn't work. suppose this problem has a solution or not ?? because I often use cameras for photography ... please help find a solution ...

Do you guys recommend buying amazfit stratos 2? What are the cons?

Thank you guys fir your support
Go for it your are sports nerd

The active running screen can't be consider good. there's no current lap pace. you'll be blind
Reported to its price it is good, three main characteristics make it a good product:
- 5 days on single charge
- always on screen
- good price
- as an alternative you can buy garmin vivomove hr, it's a little bit more expensive and don't have so much activities as stratos, but the application on smartphone is better.
No big cons
I had Amazfit Pace for 1.5 years, then I replaced it with Amazfit Stratos, and although it was pricier, I wouldn't go back to the Pace.
There was 2-3 minor hiccups during the 3+ months, but nothing dealbreaker.
Stratos has 3 buttons, so it's more convenient to start/stop your activity this way, but the one button of the Pace was just sufficient for me.
If you have more money, buy the Stratos (around $150 on GearBest), if you have less, buy the Pace (if you're lucky, you can get it for around $90 on GB).
So what are the cons? If you don't like 'flat tyre' displays, you won't like Amazfit's display - both has this 'effect'.
If you want crystal clear, bright and colorful display, buy an Apple Watch or a Samsung Gear 2/3... with AMOLED display - the Amazfit has transflective display, so it's quite dim and pale indoors, but more than perfect outdoors without consuming more energy than indoors (it's the opposite).
The Stratos is bigger and bulkier than the Pace, but only by a little. Most Garmin and Suunto watches are bigger, bulkier, heavier and a lot pricier than even the Stratos without providing better battery life. I know, the high-end Garmins provide more precise GPS data, but only for 10 to 15 hours, while you can constantly use your GPS on the Pace or on the Stratos for 30+ hours on a full charge.
The Pace has IP67, the Stratos has IP68 rating. Believe me, you will like any of them.
...
I read in other post that the build quality is questionable, the connectors gets rusty because of sweat!!?? So what are your thoughts? Thanks
The problem appears on Pace, but only if you swim or shower with it. No such a problem for Stratos.
I have a pace and don't find any reason besides the Waterproof to upgrate to the pricier stratos. I run and trail bike, why won't you go back to pace?
I have a pace, everything is ok in it.
I had a problem with water a month ago, that I think it was my mistake. I used it under water.
by removing mic the problem is solved and I have 6 day battery now.
and if you want to by pace because it is cheaper, or take it away from water, or seal up its mic hole with glue, and yu be safe and ok with a very nice watch.
Guys, does it make sense to upgrade from PACE to Stratos or wait for Verge?
I'm so close to buying Suunto 9 or Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, but I have a feeling that Stratos or Verge will be just as good for simple sports and mainly smartphone notifications.
What's your view on this?

Pace, Stratos are very good smartwatches, altmost as good as garmin, the only problem is that you cannot respond to messages for official rom (it is possible if you install a custom rom or watch droid). Why to buy a garmin, much more expensive if you have Pace or Stratos?

For running it's not as good as Garmin because you can have information about a lap (lap time / lap distance / lap pace) for example. It's a basic feature for runner.
The only thing you can have is related to previous lap...

I don't consider upgrading from Pace to Verge because of the amoled screen. When I'm running or biking I need to take a fast look at the screen and would be dificult to press a button to show info. Also amoled screens ins't the best for reading on sunlight.
To me the Verge is more an urban user smartwatch with sports features.
I think I will wait for more one year for a pace/stratos real update with LCD and the new heart rate sensor.
I recently switched to Stratos and it's huge in comparison to Pace. Thicker and bigger in diameter but with the same screen size and the same hw specs. Buttons are also big, probably intentionally, to easily press during workout, in gloves, etc. For some workouts, like weight lifting, with smaller wrist, buttons may be a problem.
Overall watch looks more premium but charger is opposite, looks way cheaper than one for Pace. Pace charger is not compatible with Stratos. Also, cable cannot be removed. Plus is that watch is waterproof.
Stratos GUI is a bit different, features are the same plus two about workout efficiency and VO2.

I bought a few cheap Stratos charging docks from GearBest a few months ago, these have a micro USB port instead of the damned built-in cable, so I can use it with and micro USB cable I just want.
I liked the Pace, I love the Stratos, and I only had two minor hiccups needing a restart, other than that everything's smooth and fine.
BTW, before the Pace I had a Polar M400, which was fine, but after a while I hated to connect my watch to my PC each time to upload the data to the cloud, and I hated the 5-6 hours GPS time - the Amazfit Pace was a miracle compared to that, and although the Stratos is mostly a Pace on steroids, I like it even more.
So a Garmin or Suunto watch has more functionality, but since I walk a lot instead of doing multiple sports, the 3 to 4 times higher price wouldn't worth the added extra I wouldn't even use.
Yeah, I've ordered charger with micro USB. It's mainly to have spare one. Let's how will work.

Forgot to add, Stratos has half of the faces available for Pace. And none of them are really good. Also, because watch is bigger and heavier, mid vibration is hardly noticeable. Especially as waking up alarm. So I had to set to high which drains battery more. With my usage, Stratos batter lasts about 4 days. At least one day less than Pace.

Dual channel video footage on tablet

Hey there XDA community,
I've tried search all over the place to see if I could setup the below but can't seem to find much.
I am trying to install 2 cameras on my car, one if the front bumper and one in the rear (I guess both being the backup camera variety). My car is low with a long front so its very hard for me to park close enough to the curb without hitting it. The rear camera that came with the car is pretty bad quality with no way to replace/upgrade it.
Is it possible to somehow run both camera wiring into the interior and then connect them to a converter of some kind which then connects to the tablet via OTG to display live video? I've seen a couple old videos showing this possibility but it was with one camera only.
Any input would be great.
Thank You

Rear Facing carmra lack of face detect

I found that my Samsung S9 plus rear facing camera lack of human face detect. It needs to be in closed distance (2-3 feet) to detect human face. When move phone farther, the camera will lost face detect immediately. Is there any solution to fix this issue? I have another Meizu phone which rear camera is still able to detect and track human face when move phone behind 10 feet.
Thank you very much!
