Hello,
After the upgrade of Amazfit android v3.6.2 and Rom 2.3.11.1, I found that the daily steps calories counter is wrong.
eg: 7626 steps show only 29 kcal
But for activities as walking, cycling, the calories seem correct.
Do you guys have this issue?
Regards
Just watch at my consumption of calories today for 8864 steps. It shows me 119kcal. Hmm
Please try to run, not walk, for the same step count. Not in training mode. Only step count mode. What did it shows you? Try different speed of walking.
Maybe you walk to slowly or so. I don't know exactly.

Hi Alexandre,
I forgot to tell that:
my watch shows 29 kcal for 7626 steps. But on the Amazfit android app, the step counter shows 146 kcal for same number of steps. I didn't take any sport activities today so I am certain that it is step counts calories.
It seems there are software bugs somewhere.
Actually it l looks like an software bug. Some calculate algorithm failure. So I can't help you. By the way It's strange that your consumption is higher for lower steps than mine.
Hello,
I noticed this also. I don't know how the calories value comes out.
Maybe some elements as speed, heartrate are used to make the calculation.

Hello, is there a way to see total daily distance on this watch? All I can see is the distance that I have made during workouts (walking, cycling...) and total daily steps. Also is there a way to get elevation gain in walk mode?
Thanks
Try the Prototype watchface, it shows all activities info. And what do you mean by "elevation gain in walk mode"?

Thanks for the reply but that it doesn't show total daily distance, only total daily sports distance and total sports distance....
Ah, I see... Total daily only using the app AFAIK.
I can't see it in app also...
Please see attached pic.
That is all from your activity and that is not total daily that you have made.
I need total walking distance ... So combined walking distance, from activity and without activity.... See attached picture how it is done in Samsung health for example.
That screen shows the total distance in all activities that day. Pace/Stratos don't use steps for distance AFAIK, only calories burnt, so I guess you won't be able to get this using these devices.

As far as I'm concern, this no screen display of total distance (estimation) base on steps taken, and his is using pedometer right? Only total steps taken.
Yup. This is a normal view watchface for most of garmin devices. And I would love to see it on pace/stratos
So we need a watchface or app that can take your stride length and multiply it by your number of steps to give a distance.
There is a thread about .APK watchfaces
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/apk-watchfaces-amazfit-pace-stratos-t3795749
You could suggest it there.
Really don't know how they didn't integrate total daily distance, every other fitness tracker has it (Fitbit,Garmin,Samsung...), Even amazfit Cor has it
Hi Guys, sorry for popping up
I use the Stratos with latest version, and cannot retrive the daily distance information
Is this related to the watchface that I use (eternal moment) ?
Any suggestions how can I track this data all-day?
Thanks

I have a Stratos. I found that if I install 'Notify & Fitness for Amazfit' alongside 'Amazfit Watch', I can see the distance in the Notify app. It seems kind of silly that I have to install two separate apps to see this information, but it's the only solution I have.

I just found this wf "https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/pace/view/4648" can show daily total distance. Seem data only available in apk but not wfz format. As seem we cannot find correct datatype in wfz.
Hey, i just received my Bip and synced correctly with iPhone, but when i workout at gym or somewhere, it doesnt save the HR to calculate the burned calories and other aspects, is there any app or something? Because I think that the Bip only uses GPS to estimate pace, but not the HR monitoring.
Sorry for my English, hope you understand.
As far as I know, all Amazfit watches record HR during activities: BIP, Pace and Stratos. They won't use it for calories burnt for common steps (not in any activity) so far. Are you sure your HRM is working? Can you get an individual measurement with the watch?

How can i access to that measurement with ios? Through the health app or with the mi fit app?

You don't need the app to check if it's working, simply do a manual measurement using the watch. Can you get a value? Does it look reasonable?
But to answer your question, MiFit should display all HRM data after a sync, at least this is how it works with Pace and Amazfit app.

Yes, i did a manual measuremente and got 53, but for example, i workout without running, and with 1 hour of training it says 2-3 calories burned, and that is not logic.
If you get bad HRM then it will result in non logic calories burnt data as well... And if you get bad HRM with other person using the watch then probably it has a bad HR sensor and should be replaced.
No, i think the measurement its correct, i tried with several persons and the HBR is correct, but its not used for burned calories, or i dont know how to apply it.
Amazfit watches use a very basic algorithm to calculate burnt calories due to daily steps, it doesn't use HR, even if continuous HRM is on. HR is only used for recorded activities (and even then it seems to be underestimated).
Hi everybody
I bought the amazfit 2 and had a few difficulties with interval workouts.
After i set a training in my phone app and synced it to the watch i went for a run.
In most times the training stop and wont continue to the next lap/interval/repeat/segment and i have to stop the activity and start a new running activity.
Does anyone had this problem and can help me work it out ?
Same problem here
I am having the exact same problem here. Doing interval training, set to trigger on a given distance. After the second or third interval repeat the watch get stuck and the next interval never starts, forcing me to save the activity and start a new one. This is really not ideal. I was using a BT HRM, wondering if that might be contributing to the issue ?
First of all, there is no Stratos 2:
Stratos is Huami Sports Watch 2, or simply Stratos (some call it Pace 2, since it came after Pace, but it's also wrong).

That being clarified, there is a know bug about interval repetitions, it hangs after some time. A simple workaround is adding multiple intervals with the same distance (or time), dumb but usually work. If you have an International version of the watch (A1619), you can report it in the link below, maybe they fix it some day:
https://support.amazfit.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I have that bug when changing screens. If i dont change between screens then no problem at allí.
Hi everone,
I am using Amazfit Stratos, Rom version 2.3.4.0 .I have a climbing activity on 1 spetember 2018.
The total mileage shown on watch & Amazfit App is 15.1km, but it only 12.2km (12.6km if consider 3d distance) via Strava or Google Earth after I download the gpx file, it is 23% different. The huge mileage different also happened when climbing mountain with elevation more than 500m, the others activity will have 3% to 6% different (the watch reported higher).
Anyone have this problem? How to solve it?
Is anyone noted that the elevation info always missing in the first few point of the GPX file downloaded?
Probably you had 3D Data on (search for what it means).

Yes, I know what is 3d data, I have set 3d data on for this climbing activity.
But it is 12.2km (without consider 3d) and 12.6km (with consider 3d), calculated by myself and checked using "Google Earth".
Will it because of movement of the hand where I wear the watch?
Sounds like a problem with the altitude measurement. I'm not happy with that too. Opening compass, doubletapping on it and waiting for a GPS fix before starting an activity is helping a bit.
I see several reasons for this:
1) The phone app is smoothing out the altitude data by using digital elevation map data, which at the end comes to different mileages.
2) In the mountains unprecise GPS signal can lead to significant differences, 30m 2D can sum up to 100m or more 3D, a balance between weak signal filtering and loosing signal is not easy to achieve.
3) During my tours I had another GPS running parallel. What made a real difference was, what I wrote under 2) and that my Pace did not exactly recognize pauses, which resulted in several pausing clusters which added to the mileage.
My conclusion:
I'm using the watch but after the activity I:
1) export it to tcx format via the exporter available in this forum.
2) manually delete the first trackpoints which either have no altititude or an unrealistic speed.
3) correct the altitude with external tools if I see it necessary.
Some of this after activity steps are done by the phone app automatically. Since the phone app is not giving me options for this I use other tool to know exactly what is going on.
Edit: The handmovement shouldn't influence outdoor results.
Did you check the altitude graph? It seems that run/walk use GPS for altitude whereas trail run/climb use the barometer. I still think it's related to 3D Data: the higher the altitude change, the higher will be the final difference in distance when compared to common "2D" data.

Also, latest international firmware for Stratos is 2.3.6.1, and you are still running 2.3.4.0... Latest Amasfit app version may make a difference too... Auto-pause may make a difference too: either disable or use something other than "stand still".

Are there other settings for Auto-pause than "on/off"? If so, where can I find them on the pace?
Profil Climbing and profil Trail Running have only Auto-pause "on/off" on ROM Pacificator WOS 2.6.3.1.

Not all activities have the other options, then you can try disabling it and use the button to pause manually. When recording walkings I found that it was too sensitive and it added a lot of bad data points to GPS when enabled.

I experienced the same phenomena. Thats why I stopped using "Auto-pause" and was wondering now about the possibility of finetuning autopause. Which activities have this, I couldn't find any?
Edit:
I found one: Cycling (1km/h steps)
Thats understandable but with the bad HDOP&VDOP filtering the Pace has, configurable Autopause in 0.1km/h steps could help in other activities too.

Run has an settings based on pace, Outdoor cycling has it based on speed. "Common" walk doesn't have it, it's either on or off.

the firmware now is 2.3.6.1 (2.3.4.0 is when that particular climbing activity on 1 september ),
I always off the 'Auto pause' except the first time i use the watch, because it keep on pausing (because my activity is inside the forest).
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KSCwCRNmbnLdRgJaI1x9lkoogJN0Qv25
this is the list of all my activity, it is true that '3d data' will affect the total mileage. When I on '3d data' to climb the mountain, the total mileage is 20+% higher, but it is 3 to 5% higher when only the small hill.
However, activity after 29 september , '3d data' is set to 'off', the total mileage still 3 to 5 % higher.

those are the elevation profile of activity on '1/9 climb 3d-on', '3/11 walk 3d-off', '10/11 run 3d-off' & '17/11 trail run 3d-off', it seem that all altitude record by Amazfit is lower than which corrected by 'Strava' or ' gpsvisualizer.com' or record by handphone.
Any solution to keep the total mileage within 1 to 2%? after off the 'auto pause' & '3d data' ? 3 to 5% is still consider too high.

Having a look at your pictures your altitude data is much better than that what my pace produces before this was "corrected" by the phone app.
I guess that means it comes from the phone app.
So that leaves us 3 options:
1)
Those 3 altitude correcting sources you use:
Amazfit
Strava
GPS visualizer
are probably using different altitude maps - meaning you can't compare them and have to decide which one you use. I guess the one from amazfit
has a lower resolution compared to those from Strava&GPS visualizer. You probably can't change the altitude mapsource of those 3 apps - just decide which one you prefer and stick to it.
2)
If I'm using altitude correction I don't rely on either of those apps but use LIDAR maps which have a higher resolution and therefore representing the altitude of the area better:
http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-germany
To do that I need the RAW data from the watch, which I get as mentioned via a python script as tcx files directly from the watch. Edit: One could use the gpx file which the watch procides under activities but the program I use for reprocessing the track does not recognize the included heartrate data. Otherwise internal created gpx and external created tcx don't differ much.
My resolution: another app
3)
The third option I see would be relying on the altitude data the watch provides, which I personaly found not reliable at all. I guess that has something to do with the filtering of weak signal from the gps chip, which is done by the gps firmware. To solve this problem we can only hope for some better filtering via GPS firmware by the manufacturer.
I'm a new Amazfit GTR user, and it can estimate the calories burnt per day? It's showing very low values, I guess it's only measuring with steps.
If I start an exercise it will record continuously my calories with the heart rate, which is what I want, but I don't want to start an exercise to do it. Why not measure it during the day? If I'm not in an exercise it just count the steps calories. What a useless information lol. If I needed just the steps calories I'll just start an exercise.
Can someone confirm the Amazfit GTR can not estimate calories per day? If the Amazfit app doesn't shows it, there is another 3rd party apps that does it? I'm considering return this smartwatch
The Notify & Fitness app (Android) gives you a choice to display steps calories only or total calories (including those calculated from BMR) on its home screen.
I don't know offhand if it supports the GTR; I use it with my BIP.

Eric

Nice! Good to know there is a way out somehow. The problem is that I use iPhone so I didn't find this at the app store. There is a similar app to iOS?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, I don't know of any iOS app that has this feature.
Use Amazfit Watch app, if you are on iOS you can add its data to Apple Health, it does a good job. Just be aware that the data sync isn't done instantaneously, and the ios app only syncs if you open Amazfit app at least once a day, and sometimes you must "pull down" to actually sync and refresh the data from watch.
