Hey! I am a happy owner of an Amazfit Bip for nearly half a year now. I have had no problems except for the firmware update in the beginning, but once I used Notify and Fitness for Amazfit, I found it to be a reliable fitness tracker that gives me excellent battery life.
However, out of the blue I recently got a problem. Everytime the backlight comes on while on a watchface, the entire screen washes out to a grey colour. As far as I can see this only happens on the watchface.
Also, since this has been happening, when the watchface updates (like to show a change in minutes), the screen flashes black for a split second. I believe the content is still shown, it just flashes black the white elements (its hard to tell as it is so fast).
This backlight screen issue only seams to happen on the watchface screen. I have tried changing the watchface to see if it does anything different, but it still gives me the grey screen. It is very strange. Is this a problem someone has come against and what did they do to fix it?
Factory reset the watch and pair with latest Amazfit Watch app and test, if the same problems happen then probably it's a hardware issue (you must replace the watch). Notify and Fitness is a hack, the only official companion app is Amazfit Watch, any firmware modification using other apps can cause problems or even brick the watch...
I tried the suggestion and it seams to be a hardware problem. For some reason using a dark watchface minimises the problem so I will just use a dark watch face till a new version comes out. Thank you.

I've reset the watch yesterday an uninstalled all my wear apps an it was working fine then reinstalled mini launhcer, wear visualizer, battery stat watchface an partner app and thats all.
So woke up this morning and it will not respond to "ok google" again nothing updated on the phone over night (nexus 5 factory image 5.0)
Any idea what happened an what I should look through to figure out what is going on? This is my black titan one I got last friday the white gold one I got at black friday hasn't gave me one slight issue at all.
edit---
seams like a microphone sensitivity issue as the visualizer responds when I tap next to the watch in varrying degrees but seams its lost its sensitivity... any ideas?
just updated and having similar issue

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In addition to this the screen turns off some times when left alone even though the option is set to always on.
The most annoying thing for me is that very often my watch doesn't vibrate for notifications any more. Sometimes it will, but some times it wont...
I know the title sounds crazy, so let me explain.
I've had this issue for quite a long time now but never gotten into it.
Basically, when I open a white image or whatever light colored app/background, I can recognize a Whatsapp conversation in transparency, almost like it's stuck underneath the display.
So I tried opening the recovery to clear cache and I noticed the same exact thing when the recovery was loading (light blue background).
You can find a picture below. The top portion is my phone's display while the bottom is a screenshot found on Google (cause I needed the old layout for Whatsapp chats).
By the way, the phone I'm having trouble with is a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge updated to Android 7.0 (the update didn't fix the issue).
Thanks to everyone in advance
This is known as image retention or burn-in. It is a characteristic of OLED/AMOLED displays when the same images are held at high brightness/intensities for long periods of time. There are apps/tools/methods which claim to reduce, remove or in some way fix the problem but please do your research as there is a good chance they can make the problem worse or introduce new problems. I have not investigated further other than methods of prevention. Also, organic light emitting diodes/pixels have a given lifespan. The screen will lose brightness and color accuracy over time. Blue diodes will fade first, then green, then red.
I writing to users which creating watch faces fro Amazfit Verge in VergeIT web site. I checked and tried all watch faces from this site and some i like it very much, but there is no perfect things in the world, so i want to ask you, who created these watch faces or know these guys, maybe can to fix issues which have these watch faces or to edit some problems which is in these watch faces. Watch faces for Verge is downloaded from VergeIT.it web site. This is no mine and i added these watch faces here only to show which i want that to be fixed and changed.
1. OranGiulyDigit - this watch face is almost perfect, but is blue ball which running like seconds around in screen (sometime showing it when hand wrist up (lifting)). Can you remove it? If is possible will be great to change colour from orange to dark blue or similar to dark blue. Watch face is in this web site - http://www.vergeit.it/#/apk (scroll to down web site). By the way is steps, heart rate, battery widget, but will be good if someone add weather widget too. By the way all watch faces have the same problem. Verge watch have "turn off light screen" mode (Lock screen section). When is activated this mode must show in black screen only time widget/clock. That how is in original Amazfit watch faces. These all watch faces just a little bit dim and showing the same widget and clock as without this mode. Please change that. The same was in GreatAp GreatFit watch face and GreatApo changed that, he add option to turn off widget which i don't want to see. So please do the same with all others watch faces from VergeIT. Even with these watch faces which i added here like example here and to show which i liked and ect.
2. SRSteflogo - this watch faces is the best probably from all which are in VergeIT or others web site which probably know most users here. Then what's wrong? First at all need to change language from Italic to English (week's days name is in Italic language, need to change to English), second will be great to change colour from blue to dark blue or similar to it, which is Verge blue watch colour. All others things is good. By the way please remove VergeIT logo at all, looks weird and if say honest silly. Why need it at all? Coz others stealing yours watch faces? But you do the same, i saw myself one was stolen from other creator, also another in other web site stolen this watch face, coz you stolen from him his watch face (he wrote that). So please stop fighting and do watch faces without these logo. Watch Face is in VergeIT.it web site. By the way this watch face also is named as "SRDigital White"
3. LCDBWDigitlibverge or SR BW Digital everything si fine with him jus diming and widget problem which is in all watch faces created from VergeIT - need to remove all widget when is activated "low light screen" mode in Verge watch. Of course more information (widget) in screen will be great like weather, heart rate and ect. Coz right now is showing only steps and battery status.
4. ReversSrlibverge or SR_Revers is the same as others just diming problem when is activated "low light screen" mode (clock in black background must to show only)
Looks like that's all. Thanks in advance which will edit and will fix these watch faces mentioned problems, issues and ect. I'm very thankful for that. And please edited watch faces upload here. Thanks.
I trying to find the setting to turn off the screen while on running activity. I notice the screen is light on entire running activity until complete. I had already enable wrist lift option to turn on the screen when i need checking the running stats.
Anyway find the setting to turn it off or perhaps sleep mode. Thank you in advance.
There is no such option in Zepp application. I think there should be though, since having the screen on for ~2 hours is quite battery-consuming.
Yeh, that would be a nice option to have...
Yes hopefully they work on something with to turn off the screen. This version worst i compare to Amazfit Pace which have the easy lock function and the max heart rate alert.
But T-Rex really disappointed despite launched later time compare to Pace. First generation even better and seems T-Rex going backward.
Hi everybody,
I am facing a strange situation with my GTS 1 : since my last recharge, my screen stays dark; if I long-press the button, the amazfit logo appears but then it turns black again.
If I plug it to charge, the screen appears and it goes on charging until 100%, then it stays with the screen working for a while, but if I try to change the watch face (or sometimes, also to "find the watch" with the Zepp feature) it goes black again. To make it even worse, sometimes it just goes black and freezes after a while I am wearing it, and the only way to revive it is to plug it to charge again.
I tried to factory reset, to reinstall firmware and resources (with Notify app: Zepp does not detect any update) , and I am starting wondering that the battery could be somehow defective (I bought it two years ago...) - any hint from you experts, or anything I could try to understand what is wrong? Thanks in advance!
