Amazfit GTR can't fix GPS - Amazfit

Hello
I have a prob with my new watch : when i make sport footing for example, the GPS don't fix and i can't register footing session
Someone have the same prob.
Thanks
Philippe

Hi !
Prob solved by update apgs today
Philippe

running latest App version and latest international ROM. GPS fix seems slightly slower than my Pace, but worked fine every time.

GPS is really sucks.
Tacho: 9,42km
Runtastic: 9,3
GTR: 8,84km
Can not recommend this clock!

Hi,
I have amazfit gtr for 5 days. All updates are done. I was running twice (for 60 minutes together), but I did not have any GPS signal. I was running in Bratislava (capital of Slovakia).
Any idea, how to fix it ?

A-GPS updated?
Before running wait for fix. It can take more minutes first time.
I have no problem in Bratislava.

I can get a GPS fix but the tracking is terrible. Maps, at times, show me running on top of houses and not on the road where I actually am. I want to like the GTR but there are some bugs to work through. Hopefully they are aware and can fix these issues in a firmware update.

A-GPS has been updated wight after first start. (can I update it again ? how ?)
I waited for gps signal for several minutes and then: "GPS location failure. Please try again in open space" -> I was standing in open space.

Neue Firmware 1.3.4.06
Ich habe am 27.08. das Update auf Version 1.3.4.06 erhalten, leider keine Verbesserung ? Habt Ihr immer noch die gleichen Erfahrungen mit der GPS Erkennung (heute morgen auf freier Fläche ohne Wolken kein Signal innerhalb von 15 Minuten)? Danke für die Rückmeldung.

Any news of the update?

I just got the GTR and have the same issue with inaccurate GPS data.
I also had the GPS fix problem, but reinstalling a previous firmware through notify and fitness app and then updating the watch through the amazefit app fixed this.
Is there any news about fixing the accuracy issues?
It looks like Spiderman rode my bike from building to building. Even in an open area the accuracy sucks

Windows Mobile application for Geocaching.

Dear all,
I posted a topic to Geocaching forum today.
And now, I would like to introduce Windows Mobile application "GCz" to WM experts and users like you!!
Because some of you might be interested in Geocaching with WM devices.
Please visit below to know the application for your WM device.

Dear all Geocachers!!
My name is Tom and let me introduce Windows Mobile application for Geocaching.
Last October, I bought my iPhone and searched lots of application from Apple Store.
One of most interesting application is "Groundspeak's Geocaching iPhone Application".
Of course, I bought it and started to play Geocaching immediately. It is a lot of fun!!
At the same time, I searched Windows Mobile application for Geocaching like iPhone app.
But I could not find it. then I decided to develop a Windows Mobile application.
Past 2 months, I was working on it and Japanese Geocachers and friends was helping me to test it.
So, I think now is the good timing to introduce the Windows Mobile application to world wide Geocachers.
The application name is "GCz" and you can download it from below.
GCz is Freeware!!!

Man....been looking for a good little app like this! I've been using Navstation's program for awhile, but I will definitely follow your program. Thanks a ton for your app. I will type more after my next cache trip!
Hi noellenchris
THank you very much!!! ;D
and, I have recieved a bug report and fixed it.
please re-download latest one. (ver 0.0.25)

Wow, I was searching for this from long time, so, let me start testing it!
First request: can you add AppToDate support?
Message edited to remove "bug" that i've found: It was mine error
Thank you!
yeah man!!! i have been looking for this a while. you are an genius!! thank you alot!!
Thank you guys!! I am really happy to hear from you. ;D

Great! Installed, now waiting for a new version to see if it works
And now, another question: Can you implement a system to cache the downloaded data? I don't have a flat plan for data, so I can use the program when I'm at home using my ADSL without spending money, and when I'm in searching for cache I don't have to spend money because the data is cached by the program.
Hi glaucos,
Yes, off-line mode is next goal of GCz!!
I have recieved same requests.
I will implement it ASAP.
But currently, I need to develop another application.
It might take a while. probablly March.
After that I will work on GCz development again.
Sorry inconvenience.

Hi, I am using Cachewolf, in my opinion the best GC app for WM. You can install the program on your desktop PC as well and spider geocaching.com and opencaching geocaches!
Link (sorry, it's in german): http://www.cachewolf.de/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage
Hi Tom,
The app looks very promissing to me. I have installed it on my HTC Artemis (p3300) running WM6 and that went just fine.
But now I have just one problem....GCz is not working with my GPS signal...
Is there an explanation for that? I had the same problem with the latest Google Maps...when I entered the GPS settings manually in Google Maps it worked. In GCz I couldn't find an option to set the GPS settings manually...
keep up the good work!
Hi,
I installed GCz on my HTC Touch Cruise. GPS is working, I can find trackable Items and could open the details. I received the list with nearest caches. But when I searched for a cache (searching for geocaches) or open one of the caches on the nearest-by list, I get the message “Cache not found.”
Is this a setting or?
This is a nice app, but is there any way to search for new caches with having to open the browswer?
Thanks
Can you summarize what this app does?
Sorry and thanks.
Hi Heidehipper,
In my case, I use HTC Diamond.
and "Start">>"Settings">>"System tab">>"External GPS" Settings below.
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (none) Baud rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically (Check ON)
I hope it will help your problem.
============
Hi Bitte ein Bit,
So, I would like to know how to reproduce your situation.
Could you let me know below?
1) Search for Geocaching
What did you input in the text box? e.g) "Manchester" or "M13 0AS, UK" or ...
2) Which cache did you try to open of the cache list. e.g) Geocache Code "GCxxxxx"
I need to know above 2 informations to reproduce it.
thank you for your helping.
============
Hi <insertwittyusernamehere>
I am afraid, I do not get your point.
Could you explain your question?
thank you all!!
tom
This application is great!
It sometimes times out trying to find a GPS lock but it usually finds it within a couple of tries. Thanks for the app!
Leon.
HTC Touch - CDMA
Works great. I got it working on my HTC Fuze and my wife's HTC Tilt. Both worked well with Google Maps. I tried configuring the Geocaching app on my Fuze to use Opera Mobile as the browser but couldn't get it to work. Otherwise, it worked fine otherwise.
I did encounter one bug on both the Fuze and Tilt. When I searched for caches near my current location, it would not list caches that were less than 0.5 miles, even though I knew they were right there. I'll try some more and see if it happens regularly.
I was thinking about getting back into geocaching but remembered all the prep work I had to do from when we first started 5 years ago. This app makes the whole process more spontaneous and free-flowing. I also noticed on geocaching.com that there were two new users who reviewed using their Touch Pros, and I wonder if they had the same positive experience with your app .

[APP] Next2Me 1.3 RC4 for download here

Hi @ll!
I recently released version 1.2 of my latest App "Next2Me" to the US Windows Marketplace.
Next2Me uses GPS and shows you all available businesses around you from over 30 categories. You can view the results on a map, show detailed information. You can also call the target business, send the detail information to your friends by Mail or SMS or save the business to your contact list all by only one click!
And here is the latest BETA version of the upcoming Next2Me 1.3.
[UPDATE]
You can now manually choose between miles and meters. And for all US and Candians, Next2Me is now searching for "Gas stations"
[UPDATE]
I changed the GPS code a bit because some users get an exception on some devices.
[UPDATE]
Again changed the GPS device detection.
[UPDATE 04/25/2010]
o RC1 released
o Next2Me languages: DE, EN, FR, NL
o A menu to tell Next2Me how to search for your GPS device (this will solve several issues, like the exception told by some users and the unwanted bluetooth dialog which is automatically poping up)
[UPDATE 04/27/2010]
o Next2Me now in IT (thanks to Spyrale)
o Beautiful new High-Res Icons for the menu (thanks to Saumaun)
o Limit the search radius (250m, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, all)
[UPDATE 04/28/2010]
o Fixed a language bug for the italian version
[UPDATE 05/01/2010]
o Updated language strings for NL, FR and IT
If there aren't any more suggestions or bugs, this version will be send to the Marketplace
So, have fun with Next2Me and send me your suggestions, critics, etc.
C YA @LL!

Any non-marketplace download
Is this available anywhere besides the MS Marketplace? I don't want to have to install this to my internal memory.
I like the app: http://www.fuzemobility.com/learn-whats-next2me/
Any thoughts of using Google Location instead of GPS to speed things up? also, I don't see a way to email a location- just to SMS. Am I missing it? If it could pull the Google info that would be nice as well (such as type of restaurant, rating, etc). Overall I do like it though. Good luck with the project!
great app so far but sometimes you cant get a gps fix or it can take awhile. would it be possible to use google location or Sleuth's myLocation Service here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607102. These might work better and they will almost always work and are much quicker than a gps fix.
Looks interesting. But please, could you kindly post it somewhere else than on the Marketplace.
No way I will go to the MarketPlace. I do not want to download any cab on the internal memory.
Thanks

From what I've seen, this app has a lot of promise, but I have had a problem...
On my Tilt2, whenever I look for something with Next2Me, I get a message "Invalid GPS Signal..." or "No GPS Device found.". But, if I start up Google Maps first, and let it get my GPS position and then start up Next2Me, it works just fine. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Also, if it could toggle between km and miles, it'd help for us Americans who won't join the rest of the world in using km's
One more suggestion for future updates...if we could set the # of hits returned or better yet, if we could specify a 'radius' to search it'd make the app even more user friendly.
Thanks for the work and keep it up

Hm, that's a GPS-Problem under Windows. You can use QuickGPS to improve the lock-time, but that doesn't always work.

Yeah, I am already aware of the "km/miles"-Bug ... this will be fixed in the next version, of course.
Your suggestion with the amount of hits returned or the search radius is very good and will be proofed.

Yeah, that would be a solution to use the location service using the Google Location. I can implement support for the myLocation service of Sleuth, but I would prefer to implement the location service into Next2Me, so that there is no need for the user to install another application to use Next2Me. Are there any specifications or source code snippets how to use the Google Location service under Windows Mobile?
I don't see a way to email a location- just to SMS. Am I missing it? If it could pull the Google info that would be nice as well (such as type of restaurant, rating, etc). Overall I do like it though. Good luck with the project!

Next2Me checks your Mobile Outlook on you cell phone, if there's an E-Mail account available. This e-mail account will be used to send the email with the location service. The button for sending an e-mail will only be shown if there's an email account set up in your Windows Mobile.
Hope this helps!

im using the Next2Me form the first day it has been released in marketplace
i think its 1.0

Good to hear that ... I don't know the exact cause of the problem, but strangewise the GPS-Stream is on most of the HD2 different to rest of the world's mobile phones ... and on some not, like yours.

Not really ... it's currently available as BETA version. You can download it from the first post. Did Next2Me crash with version 1.1 or earlier? I want to test it with as much cell phones as possible, so please write me if you have any errors with Next2Me.
Additional info: Next2Me 1.2 BETA also supports location using the GSM network. So, it also works with cell phones without GPS module.
Love the new version, Fast, nice GUI and great info! Thanks for this very useful app!
LoL I restart the Omnia and now it works good (Version 1.2).
But how can we add content?

What do you mean with that? Do you want to add your own categories and search criterias? This is not possible currently. I am thinking about implementing it, but currently it's not possible. This BETA version is for testing it with as much as possible cell phones, to be sure position detection is working on every phone.

Tested on tmobile touch pro 2 and works very well on cell tower location. Haven't tried on GPS.
However, the result for gas station is way off, reporting station like 700KM away from current location. Other services seem fine.
Besides, is it possible to change units? Or show current gas price?
Working really nice on my HD2 ! Congratulations man

[Q] GS3 and NFC ReTag

Hi,
I´m still waiting for my GS3 .... (Yes, the blue one ) ...
Does anyone here has already tested the GS3 with NFC ReTag ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widgapp.NFC_ReTAG_FREE
According to my dev console, there should be already some GS3 users with NFC ReTag out there, and till today no bugs were reported, but I would like to double check it and receive some early feedback from the first GS3 users ;-)
No one with a NFC tag and 5 min time?
I'm not sure what you mean by ReTag but I've tested NFC with some tags I bought. Works great.

Hey ascsa, I have been using your app for a few days now and it seems to be working well. I used an old oyster card and tagged it to a tasker task. It works 90% of the time, the other 10% I have to scan the card once or twice more before it activates the task.
Great app btw
Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting ... should work 100 % ;-) ... Could you describe the 10 % failures a little bit more in detail ?
- scan problem? (-> different sound when recognize a tag)
- nfc retag problem ? (-> e.g. app does not start... no pop-up etc..)
- Tasker problem? (-> e.g. everything seems fine ....but Tasker does not launch the task ..)
THANKS !
Using ReTag Pro version few days, no problem found. Only one disadvantage is license check when you want edit tags properties, settings or so - if you have limited or slow connection, lasts very long time (disable net when it happens). But license is not checked in auto-mode, so i can live with it.
One hint - for turning bluetooth use "ON SILENT" parameter, otherwise you must manually allow it every time.
I'm using it since a few days and it works perfectly fine! I wouldn't want to miss it...
But is there any possibility out there to get NFC working again with a locked screen on a rooted phone? I really miss that on.

As far as I know (and without having a detailed analysis done) i would say NO ... you would have to hack the rom ... but I will have a look at this, if I find some sparetime .... ;-)

Yeah , added the "silent" parameter to bypass the bluetooth user dialog some time ago ;-) .. ..
The license check is done via the google playstore .... should only take some milliseconds with a good internet connection ... on a limited connection it could take a little bit longer .... but it´s done once and then cached on your device for some time .... and yes, automode is not affected ;-) ... I think that´s the best and most userfriendly solution to handle the license checking ... anyway, i recognized that sometimes the google servers are a little bit slow ....

thx man for your answer... as it would be quite important to me, hacking the rom would be fine, however, as a noob as i am (well, studying law doesnt help you anywhere in real life ) i don't really know where to start... so my help would be limited to testing
still, the entire NFC-thing does only make sense to me if everything goes fast, which is not the case as long as you have to input your code before using it.
well, let's hope someone can find a solution
and by the way.... still no problems using NFC Retag on the S3
working fine here, using work door pass to turn silent mode on and off via tasker
Update 1.6 is released ;-) ... no problems so far ;-)
Car mode (BETA function) has a strange behavior on the galaxy s3 ---> In case of issues, turn on the "do not show" option or try the alternative car mode option via settings ...
BTW: Am I the only one, who does not understand why samsung implemented this poor car mode ? from my point pf view, the GS 2 car mode is much better .....

The license check is done via the google playstore .... should only take some milliseconds with a good internet connection ... on a limited connection it could take a little bit longer .... but it´s done once and then cached on your device for some time .... and yes, automode is not affected ;-) ... I think that´s the best and most userfriendly solution to handle the license checking ... anyway, i recognized that sometimes the google servers are a little bit slow ....

I get a license check every 1-2 days. Could you move this check into a background thread and allow for 2-3 failed checks (which could be more frequent than 1-2 days) before you limit the app? This frequent check is rather annoying, especially since you can't skip it.

As mentioned, automode is not affected.... So you can tap a tag and perform the activities without any license check for month if you don't want to change your activities ... I think it's a fair solution ;-) ... The license check for the other functions is done and cached via playstore... It's pretty much a standard licensing policy... And should only take some milliseconds...
Which play store version do you use?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Play Store 3.5.19
Just got the app a week or two ago and find myself changing things quite often
I guess that will change once I find a good setup for me

ok, latest play store version ;-)
Anyway, I keep your request in mind ... I´m working on a new UI and some major improvments ... perhaps I can tweak the license check, too.
Thanks. Developers like you that actually listen to their users make me glad that I bought your app. Keep up the great work

Did someone found any issues with NFC ReTag and the new US carrier branded variants of the Galaxy s3 ???
NFC ReTag and Samsungs touchwiz Jelly Bean
Hi,
anybody with the official Samsung JB update out there, who could test the NFC ReTag app?
JB isn´t a problem, but samsung likes to "improve" the android standard with touchwiz and has brocken some apis before ... and I think I have to wait a couple of days (weeks??) till i can get the official JB update within my country .... so an early double check makes sense to me...
! feedback highly welcome !

US firmware sounds the most voted but the altitude not working make it unusable.

Did you try restarting the watch before recording an activity? Pace has a problem where the altitude gets "stuck" after an activity, restarting the watch fixes it. Or disable/enable 3D data on Stratos, it may help too.

For me the altitude problem still exists in latest stratosfied version.
Stratosfied. I have problem using US Stock in my Stratos 2S.

i guess because it's properly translated, with stratosfied at least i had some issues with the translation but i'll get back to stratosfied as soon as it's getting a new release.

I made a test today with the compass app where you can see the altitude. It takes long to get a GPS signal and the altitude was jumping +- 50m. I thought maybe it is because it does not have up to date agps information. I read somewhere to sync them via the app update but I was not able to sync them. Maybe that is the problem. A friend of mine has an iPhone (me MI6) with the stratos where the altitude works flawlessly.

Stratos 3 altitude workout report on amazfit app

Hello,
i'm facing a strange issue since 4.2.3 firmware (same with 4.2.4):
the workout report on the wtch is good (altitude is ok) but on amazfit app it begins at -20000m for 20/30 secondes then a drop to the good one after.
check my picture it is unreadable.
sometime the preview is good but if i click on + to get details i have the same begin at -20000m for 20s.
do you have the same?
i also noticed during a workout if the watch is unlocked i have an altitude (230m for ex) then when the screen locks i have another one (240m) then if i unlock the watch again it's back to 230m... there's always differences depending on the screen state
the report on the watch is good. Only in amazApp seems faulty (for Altitude) all other logs are OK but i can not decripte my workout altitude...
Do you have those bugs?
I have the same issue with the Amazfit app and the altitude with Stratos 3. I also own the Notify & Fitness app and there the altitude graph seems pretty accurate 100% of times.
I also notice the wrong value only happens sometimes and depending with the sport I did on my watch.
thanks for the reply.
What i've notice also is that in Ultra Mode there is no pbs
i've sent diag to the support they told me they give them to developpment team.
Hope they'll fix this in next FW /AmazfitApp.
I have the same issue. It is a bug on the Amazfit app graph. See attached the same workout synced to Amazfit/Stava/Endomondo/Stratos

yeah but there's another bug: on your watch the elevation is begin at 16m up to 24m and ends at 2...
on strava/endomondo/amazapp the highest is 2m and lowest -17m ?????? and you begin at -5 m?
i have the exactly the same differences between wath the watch says and what is synched.... (anyway data of the watch are always good)
Big synchronization bug i think
Yes I didn't pay attention to the actual numbers. There is indeed a constant shift in the exported values. The height values from the watch look more correct as there is only one area below sea level in town and I didn't run there
Hi Guys,
I have exactly the same bug on my Stratos 3. I have been able to compare and :
> Datas shown on the watch during the activity are OK
> Datas shown on the watch report (after activity) are OK
> Datas on the Amazfit App are wrong : Elevation is different from the watch (usually lower than the reality, compared with a "level line map"), and I have the "-20000" problem on the graph
> Datas exported to Strava are wrong​
I send almost everyday the reports to Amazfit using the app, I hope they will fix this very annoying issue !
I need to try in the Ultra Mode to be able to compare. However accuracy of the GPS will be much less (1 point per minute vs 1 point per second using normal mode)
Did someone tried on latest cn firmware? So many updates since my post but no for global fw for the moment

Hi Winni21,
I haven't tried, but I don't really know how to get the CN firmware. So far I'm on 4.2.4.0
Do you know how to get it ?

Thanks Winni21, however I haven't unlocked Bootloader on my watch, and I'm a bit afraid to do so regarding the warranty. Nevertheless, this ROM looks much more complete than the one we have !
Are you thinking about trying to install it ?
Same for me... That's why if someone could try and tell us...
After 2 months of silence here is what I received today:
