Heya all,
At some point, our watch gets disconnected or reconnected, or... just won't connect to the app.
Then we're trying to remove the app, reinstall the app, talk to the app, ask the watch to connect, trying to talk some sense into it... but no.
At some point, we're removing the app, and removing the watch from the app, and then it gets reset or getting stuck without any connection to the smartphone.
With this thingie, you'll be able to connect your watch to the PC and simply run it.
Few Nexts, and after some 15 to 30 seconds, you'll get a QR for pairing back to your smartphone.
Applicable only for the following models:
PACE
Verge
Stratos
Stratos 3
does not work on GTR/GTS/Verge lite/Bip/Cat/Goat.

If you have ADB installed and confugired, you can just type the following:
HTML:
adb shell am start -n com.huami.watch.setupwizard/.InitPairQRActivity

Hi guys,
I want to know how to do this, I've been fiddling with Tasker and Unified Remote but can't get it to work.
Basically, I've got an NFC tag outside my apartment, when I step in, I tag it, and that triggers a tasker profile which does a few tasks:
1) Switch off data
2) Switch on Wifi (and connect to home wifi)
3) Launch Airdroid on phone
4) Launch Chrome on PC and open Airdroid url (this doesn't work!)
5) Launch Foobar2000 on PC (this works)
6) Launch Foobar2000 android controller.
Everything works, except for launching the address in chrome. I can launch chrome just fine, but the url I've set doesn't open. How do I do this? Any ideas?
Thanks!
No one? I'm sorry to bump this, but I really wanna know, I've tired doing it myself, and I've tried Googling it.
I just wanna be able to get Unified remote to launch Google Chrome AND open a specific address on my PC. Using tasker.
Try Command Prompt
Have you tried UR's Command remote to open a URL on your PC that way?
I too need to make this work, so I'm going to dabble with the Command remote now...
Hey! I was searching for the same thing but couldn't find any easy solution. One solution I have in my mind is to integrate join and Eventghost on windows. But this will be lot more difficult than on android. I have noticed that eventghost has a steap learning curve. Do let me know if you have a better solution for the same.
Cheers!
Quick question, more i read more im confused since im new to wear/android etc.
I've read that niel4052 bright idea topic below pure haxxx but just want to be sure on that matter ...
Currently there's no way to put .apk's / watchfaces run ADB through bluetooth on this watch right.... Or do anything really?
Is there any progress in any way or some method coming in next few months or its rather abandoned watch?
I'm not sure how I did it (and I'm scared to try to recreate it in case I lose it), but I've managed to get bluetooth debugging working while paired with my iPhone. It requires another Android device.
I'm not sure the steps I took exactly, but I think what did it was this:
Paired the device with my Galaxy S2X using the Wear app (like normal), then paired it as a bluetooth device with my iPhone (using the Bluetooth menu in the watch settings)
Enabled ADB Debugging/bluetooth debugging on the watch and in the Wear app, and connected at least once to the shell (so it can authorize and remembers the device ID). Instructions here.
Factory reset the watch, and then paired it using the Wear app on the iPhone
Make sure you do not "Forget" the watch on the Android device!
On the Galaxy, I went into bluetooth devices and the watch was still paired so I tried to connect (the device name matched what the iPhone found it as). I got a pairing request on the watch and accepted it.
In the Wear app on the Galaxy, I went into settings and down to Debugging Over Bluetooth, the Target showed as connected.
Try to connect to BT debugging as normal (as shown above). The Host should now show connected in Wear on the Android phone.
Download and use 'adb -e install' as much as you would like to install APKs!
As a note, obviously any wear app that requires a companion app (Wear Mini Launcher ) won't work properly.
I've synced Google Maps (which works great, and I'm not sure why it's not packaged with Wear for iOS), Calculator, a few games, some more watch faces. It makes the watch a bit more usable!
I wonder if its possible to connect amazfit to multiple devices imagine i have my phone that is connect to amazfit at the moment but i would like to connect to my tablet to .
Is this possible ???
What Amazfit device are you talking about? The watch/Pace? Probably not, because the Amazfit Watch app requires reading a QR code for pairing, and it's not trivial to get it shown after it's already paired. But why would you like to do it? You can try and tell us, after you find out how to show the QR code after the match is paired. And if you explain why you'd want this, maybe there's something else you can do to communicate the watch to two devices...
no.
I have it connected to 2 phones.
If I remember right I just installed the Amazfit app on second phone and logged in with my account.

You sir are right. Thank you very much!
It can but you are a bit limited in options I think.
You can connect it to a phone and BT headset at the same time (Stratos at least). I haven't tried to connect it to many other devices because what's the use?

At work I have 2 phones with me all the time, my company issued and my personal phone. I want to get notifications on both of them on the smart watch.
Can you test please if it will work?

I don't have my Amazfit watch anymore, so can't test.
I'm using a Fitbit Ionic now, but miss my Amazfit sometimes..
Watchdroid app can be used for notifications, cant that be used on multiple devices?
in case you try to connect to android and iphone same time with amazfit app stratos watch you get a notification to uninstall in android first
To summarise:
1. You can connect two devices to the same phone, at least as long as they are different models. Here is a video with Pace and Stratos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBmSwKN058E
2. You cannot connect the same device to more than one phone. As a work around, you can try to use Amazfit app on one phone and WatchDroid on another (or WD on both, maybe it works). Be aware that it might decrease battery life.
Original question in thread again. Can you connect Amazfit Stratos to an android tablet or IPad instead of your phone? Why? Screen too small on phone for my eyesight.

If you can install and login to Amazfit Watch app, then you can (the tablet must have Bluetooth 4.1 - aka BLE - and a camera, of course, or you can use a workaround to transfer the watch to your account on the tablet).
Hello everyone,
I've got an 'error: This device cannot start (Code 10) after manually installing Android ADB Device driver within Window's Device Manager. Android ADB Device is displayed with a yellow exclamation mark. This results in a blank answer after 'adb devices'. In other words: my laptop cannot connect to my watch and thereby I can't install Watch Droid Assistant on my watch.
I really need this app because of it's notification history feature, even after opening the notification (just like the amazfit Bip has)!
And secondly because of the possibility of increasing the font size.
Does anyone know the cause & the solution?
Thanks in advance!
Robert.
P.S. While being a newbie on 'tweaking' the Amazfit Stratos, I've some additional questions:
1. Will installing Watch Droid Assistant void warranty (unlocking the bootloader?)?
2. Are there risks of bricking my Amazfit Stratos (how high?)?
3. Is it (after installling WDA) possible to install additional apps such as a calculator or calendar etc. ? Or do I need Applist?
Used hardware, software and versions:
Watch Droid Assistant (27.03.2018 - version 6.1)
Amazfit Stratos (US version, FW: 2.3.4.0)
Windows 7 Home Premium (SP1 64-bit)
I've used "15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.exe" from XDA website (ADB: yes, system-wide: no, device drivers: yes).
1. Installing WD won't void anything, as with any other APK. Unlocking bootloader will void watch's warranty as soon as you enter the code to unlock it.
2. Almost zero, unless you are very unlucky. Uninstall or a factory reset will remove any apps from watch.
3. You can add other apps, but be aware that the watch has only 512MB of RAM so you don't want to install anything that runs in the background, slowing it down.
As for the drivers, if removing the device and/or forcing a driver refresh doesn't work, you may need to disable driver signature on Win 64-bits (bcdedit /set TESTSIGNNING OFF), something like this:

theres an app for receiving messages and theres a thread in this forum about it. look for notifications for amazfit (with a red icon) on the google play store. its nice and simple, allows you to change text size and all. and its very cheap.
last watch and app updates kind of messed it up a little but the devs seem to be very caring and may be already looking for solutions. all in all, its usable now.
Thank lfom

watch droid assistant?
thanks
I had a problem with my usb connection on my Pace. Turns out the two pins for the usb connection were corroded. But I managed to install apks (especially Watch Droid assistant), through wifi and ADB commands.
Again, this has been done on an Amazfit Pace, through ADB commands on Linux, specifically on Kubuntu 18.04. I don't have the Stratos, so I don't know if this applies to that watch.
1. Go to Settings - Connection - WiFi and connect to your WiFi network. Now this is important. In order to maintain connection, you have to be in the WiFi tab AND keep the screen on at all times, until you finish the installation (look for an app called Pace-On, for later installations).
2. Find your watch's IP. I did that by looking on my router's connected devices.
3. Open terminal (or CMD) and type adb connect and put your watch's IP. Example:
adb connect 192.168.0.15
4. Type adb devices, to make sure and verify that your device is connected.
5. Type adb install /path/to/apk/application.apk
(Where /path/to/apk/application.apk is the path you downloaded or placed your app) If you get an error or failure of installation (it usually happens when you have an older version of the same app) try to type
adb install -r /path/to/apk/application.apk
Another way is to manually delete the old version app and install the new one. You'll figure it out.
6. Wait for it to finish. When it does, see if the app is installed on your watch. You don't (usually) have to restart the watch, but if you feel that there is a need to do so, then do so.
That's it! Hope it helps.
Hi all!
I recently had to factory reset my Amazfit Stratos 3 watch and right now it is in the initial configuration wizard in which it only asks you for the language and then a QR code appears to connect it to the phone.
My stratos 3 has a "discoloration" or "defect" on the screen that makes the QR code incomplete, and therefore the Zepp app cannot read and connect to it using this code.
What could I do to be able to connect the watch to the phone again and be able to use it again?
Any ideas?
With this software https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...rebooter-apk-installer-mod-installer.3739828/ you can take a screenshot of you watch screen and just scan qr code directly from your monitor.

Well! I have to say that the sodtware didnt resolve the problem itself. BUT, it gave me the advise to solve it.
The software, either the installer or the no installer option say that it is not for use with Stratos 3 (my device); anyway it has a "generic device" and after running the aplication I could see that it connects to the watch. It could also reboot the watch an enter the fastboot option, but when trying the option "Take a Screenshot" (as advised by @ZduneX25 ) it throws the message: "Error trying to find screencap binary on your device".
Anyway it gave my the advise on how to solve it. Just run the adb command "adb exec-out screencap -p > screen.png" and I got a fabulous screen capture of the watch screen that allowed me to scan and connect it again with the Zepp App.
Thanks you very much. I can now continue to use my watch and, by the way I would continue to try the "TOOL ALL IN ONE" that seems to be curious.
Again thanks @ZduneX25 and @mauronofrio for the advise and the aplication, ;-)
