I have an Amazfit Bip clock and it has blocked in "Activity" page.
The touch screen does not respond, the physical side button either, the Mi Fit fails to connect, ...
The clock continuously displays that "Activity" menu screen and you can not interact with it.
How can I reset it or what should I do to use the watch?
I use Mi Fit 3.0.5, FW-0.9.14
Thanks

Yes, it happens when BIP trying updating A-GPS data. Run MiFit, keep watch close phone and let him update. Sometimes is failed, but close MiFit, clear memory and try again until success.
Thanks a lot.
In fact, it must be something related to what you say, becasuse as soon as the clock was recovered and connected again to the Mi Fit, it began to update the A-GPS.
What I do not know is if the solution you proposed works, because while it was blocked, the Mi Fit did not recognize it (it always put Connecting ...), it did not connect and I mismatched it and then I could not find it to link it again. That is, there was no bluetooth connection between My Fit and Clock, so I do not know how I could have updated the A-GPS clock trough the Mi Fit
Fortunately, the clock went off and when I put it to charge it started well and it works.
Hi there,
since today i have got the same problem. Sadly the battery is charged 100% so waiting for discharge may take some time. Does somebody know how to reset or force reboot or force discharge the watch?
Thanks in advance!
Amazfit bip problem
Hi, i got exactly the same problem with you..
After i switched my smartphone (from huawei P9 to LG V20) My amazfit Bip suddenly updating A GPS and after that, the touch display is hardly responding, then when i long press the button, it start to displays workout session that cannot be stopped or interrupted in the meantime, Mi Fit can not sync/interract during workout session).
After spent several frustating days, finally i conclude that the main issue is the firmware.
So here is what i did :
- Let the Amazfit watch battery drain (since the activity/workout session can not be stopped, it will drain faster than ussual).
- Recharge the watch until more than 10% and re-connect it to Mi Fit app. (Don't charge it too long, because when something goes wrong you will have to take time to drain the battery again).
- Download NOTIFY & FITNESS FOR AMAZFIT" app from google playstore and connect your Amazfit with the app.
- When the Amazfit Bip paired to Notify & Fitness For Amazfit,
unpaired the watch from the Mi Fit App, then uninstall Mi Fit from your phone.
- Now you have only 'Notify & Fitness for Amazfit' app connected to your amazfit bip.
.- Go to setting section in the app, scroll down and you will find firmware update section, then update the amazfit firmware (you will find some option : english/spain/italian etc., i've choosen english version)
- There imare 3 items that you have to sequintly update one by one : firmware, recources and gps (i failed to update the gps, but all i know, it doesn't matter anyway...)
- After the update finished (sometimes it failed, but i repeat it on and on untill it's succeed), my amazfit starts to work proper and not displaying work out session anymore.
Notify & Fitness for Amazfit is my saviour!
It works better than the official Mi Fit app.
Blocked after Workout
I also had a blocked Amazfit Bip:
On my first workout (a 3 hour bicyle ride), I wanted to stop it. Unfortunately the watch always restarted the workout again.
First I thought that I had double tapped the screen after pressing the Ok (to finish) button. But I tried this for at least 30 times. It always restartet the workout.
I still got a connection from the Mi Fit App, but it told me that the watch is within a workout.
I disconnected / reconnected the MiFit App several times and somehow I was able to quit the Workout.
I immediately switched off the watch, restarted and everything was fine again. No new firmware flashing was required.
I only have it since two days.
[Firmware 0.1.0.26]
Hi all!
I faced a problem after installing the latest update from the Mi Fit official app.
Amazfit Bip is stuck on "smartphone <--> watch"
The watch at night decided to update, the phone was in power saving mode and apparently the update hung in the process.
Now on the watch screen only one picture as on an attached screenshot "smartphone <--> watch"
I have been installed several fw's, .res and .gps files by Gadget Bridge (from 0.0.9.49 to 0.1.0.45) tried 20 times but after flashing "smartphone <--> watch" screen appears again.
Now watches works like 1st Mi Band (steps taken appears in Mi Fit app)
Any idea how this can be fixed?
Thank you in advance!

Partially repaired by downgrading fw to v.0.0.8.74. In this fw watches display works correctly (shows time and I can switch menus). Upgrading to fw above 0.0.8.74 leads to stuck display.
Did you try to set the system language (temporarily) to english? You have no location in your profile so I could only guess. The german mi fit app seems to have this error, too, and un-/re-pairing after setting system language to english is a temporary fix here. Its annoying because after the next update - sometimes agps sync is enough to trigger it - the same error occurs again.

Unpair Amazfit BIP from the mi fit app (at the bottom of the device settings screen).
Close mi fit app.
Switch system language to english (somewhere in the phone's settings, differs from device to device).
Start mi fit app.
Connect Amazfit BIP with mi fit app (if you don't have any other smart devices connected, this should be accessible from the first screen).
Confirm connection on the BIP.
Wait for any update/GPS/AGPS/sync to be finished.
The Amazfit BIP should now work. Maybe some settings have been reset and the watchface is back to default.
It should be safe to switch the system language back to what it was.
This fix is not permanent. It happened again, when I changed some settings and alarms in the mi fit app, and after an AGPS update (this should be made optional!). But I could not nail down the trigger, as it's running as expected now. I don't know if that's applicable for other languages as well as I only use german - and english for short periods lately.
hi
did the folwoing steps but still dispaly the parring pic,
please any other ideas?

Sorry, no idea. If you did the unpairing before the language switching and then the re-pairing, it should partly reset the BIP (but no factory reset, that could only be done from the watch menu).
It's a pity, they did not build in a way to shut down the watch. Some people reported, that after the watch completely drained its battery,, it worked afterwards (but maybe only until the next sync).
Better write to huami for a fix to that.
Btw. I had to reconnect my watch two times today, so I better leave the mi app alone until I get home or my goal is finished. The re-pairing and agps update drains my phone battery quit a lot.

Thanks, but that's exactly the version I am running and that triggered the (buggy) firmware update in the first place.
I have a shortcut for my workaround. While the bug is triggered by any sync apart from steps, it also occurs when notifications are deleted from the watch. I set my phone to english and it seems to be enough to switch bluetooth off and on to reactivate the watch (on my german phone).
That way I don't loose the step counter and settings on the watch. Not that much of a hassle as before, but still annoying. I hope for an update of the firmware soon. Does anybody know a kontact to huami for the BIP? I just found one for the Pace and the Arc, but nothing for the BIP.
A was able to "unstuck" my Bip. Here are my steps:
1. unpair watch
2. Switch phone do English UK
3. Reboot phone
4. Pair watch again with Mi Fit app -> I was able to pair my watch on 2nd try. You should see now a time on display (after update of AGPS).
5. Switch phone back to your language
I think, we have to wait for an update for the firmware. Please report this bug via the mi fit app (the reporting function is a little bit buggy as it requires several tries most of the time). You can include the watch logs as well, maybe that helps to eliminate this bug.
My workaround is rather quick - close mi fit app if open, set phone language to English, wait for the phone to rearrange things, disable bluetooth, wait a short time, enable bluetooth, tap amazfit watch in list, start mi fit app, watch back working without settings and steps lost.
I admit, I am too lazy for that, so I just leave the phone set to englisch until this is sorted out...

Same issue with my brand new BIP i have just received yesterday.
After pairing, it syncs with the Mi Fit app but the screen stuck in the phone <--> watch screen.
I changed the phone language to English (from Hungarian), pairing is fully done now with watch screen nicely working too.
Anybody ideas on why this is happening and how it should be resolved?

I am having the same problem. Stuck in the "pairing screen". What can I do?
I also had the same problem in my OnePlus phone. My language was already English. Suddenly watch displayed Spanish language error saying asking to reconnect to phone.
I tried all the above methods but nothing worked even after multiple restarts and unpair/uninstall and watch still showing same error
I paired the watch with different smartphone. At that time it updated resources and agps then mi fit keeps crashing again
Don't know what to do and watch has more than 75 percent battery also. This is becoming really annoying. Not expected from a manufacturer like xiaomi

Hello there,
I'm wondering if my Amazfit GTR (42mm) is not dying/dead
Here are the symptoms on the watch:
- The watch boots, but only displays the following message:
"Please open the App. and select "Check for updates" on the watch device page to continue update.
- After a few seconds the watch reboots, and repeats
==> So it seems the GTR is low on power
Meanwhile, on the Amazfit App
- During the little time the watch is visible, I can see it connected
- There is a red dot in front of "Check for updates"
- If I check it, and select "Update", I get the following message
"Make sure battery level is mode than 10% to update"
==> It's confirmed, the watch is too low on power to update
So I did the logical thing: connect the watch to the charger
- The watch then strongly vibrates for 20s
- It reboots
- And repeats
I have tried letting the watch in its reboot-vibrate cycle for 15 minutes, but nothing changed
==> It seems I can't charge my GTR anymore
Does anybody have any clue?
Is my GTR near-dead?
Thank you
I received mine today (47mm) and it also showed the message Please open the App. and select "Check for updates" on the watch device page to continue update. On another site, I found that I should remove the GTR from the Amazfit app and add it again, and maybe remove data from the Amazfit app altogether. I was using an Amazfit Bip before, so it made sense to me, and maybe I just needed to delete app data. But just after tapping on the option to remove the GTR from the app, before the app asks for confirmation, the update continued itself and the watch is now working. Battery was at 95%, so it wasn't a battery issue in my case.
Anyway, try removing the watch from the app and then deleting data for the Amazfit app and re-adding the watch again. This should eventually work. I've seen people commenting it can take a few tries before it finally works.
And also, you might need to keep the watch charging for a longer time, if your battery is currently dead. It this doesn't work, then the watch is definitely defective.
Thanks @jman0 for your feedback.
I also had a Bip before, and I did try to unpair the GTR completely from the Amazfit App, and pair it again, but I didn't remove data from the App.
I'll give it a try, but I fear the "reboot loop" when charging is not a very good sign (I suppose charging is independent from the App)

Hello there,
Update: I eventually managed to revive my GTR 42, yay !
How I did it:
Short version: "Just keep charging, just keep charging, charging, charging!"
Long version:
- I was in a boot loop "need firmware update - need 10% power to update - reboot during charging"
- Cleaning the contacts on the watch and charger, charging from PC or charger did not change anything
- Eventually, I:
Kept using the charger (a 2.4A one)
Left the watch to charge (with the boot loop) for a few hours
At a certain point, the battery reached enough charge to be able to install the firwmare at last
From then on, everything went back to normal.
So I'm no longer watch-less, I'll be watchful of any future firmware update
PS: During my search for answers, the gearbest support was very helpful and reactive
Hello everybody!
I recently bought an Amazfit Stratos 3 to replace my amazing Stratos 2, since it's battery died after 2 years. And although my almost immediate regret (the 2 was pretty much indestructible, the 3 already has marks with just one week), there is a annoying connection issue: every so often it simply disconnects from my Poco F1! My phone is also not on stock ROM but it was only when it arrived, so I'm excluding that as an possible cause. I've had that issue on the latest stock ROM and also on the Paceficator ROM from Saratoga. It gets me mad since what is the use on a smartwatch that, randomly, disconnects from my phone? Any other Stratos 3 users with this issue? Or is just mine and should I get it to warranty? Just for reference, with the Stratos 2 it was almost shocking how far I could get from the phone without losing connection, let alone being near to it and with the Stratos 3 I find myself with my phone on my pocket and with the smartwatch disconnected!
Thank you all for your help!

I'm sorry, I'm not getting what you want to say.
Hello,
I notice almost the same. There is of course the option on the watch to get notified when it disconnects from the phone but I also see that "find phone feature" is not working good anymore. Sometimes, I'm in line on sight at 2-3m from the phone, and the "find phone" option is not successfull. Watch is saying "Not connected to App, unable to find phone". So definietly, the watch is loosing the connection with the phone/Zepp app.
To answer Winni21, Zepp is in "no restriction" in battery saving. Is this what you mean by "configure Zepp not to go to sleep"? It is true that if Zeep goes to sleep, "find phone" and bluetooth migh disconnect quickly. Please, clarify what you mean "not going to sleep" if possible

Hi! I've used both options on Zepp's battery options, with no sucess. But I do notice that if I turn on location with the GPS the connection is almost instant! But I'm not willing to have location on all the time...
I have started getting the same connection issues. I didn't have this problem before or at least I didn't notice. Enabling the anti-lost phone feature reveals the watch is constantly loosing connection.
In my case I noticed the problem via the notifications (started to come with a delay and very often repeated) Seems like when the watch looses connection (or when it reconnects) old notifications are displayed.
Hello
My watch has been working good for the last 3 months but lately acquiring GPS not working the first time when I enter running, I have to closecand open it again, also GPS is giving me crazy paces I am a beginner+ runner but it gives me pace of 1min 27sec / km while it should be around 5min 15sec, I tried update to firmware 2.8.5, but same issue I even tried factory reset same issue.
Can you please tell me what is the issue and how to fix ?
