My watch has become useless after latest upgrade. I can't remember the exact version of the upgrade but I cant access my watch anymore. It is just blank screen but I can tell its on because it tries to connect via Bluetooth with my headphones. I have been literally going back and forth with amazfit support to send me a new watch but they are more useless than the watch itself. this forum is my last hope..any help?
Did you try to plug in the charger and press the button long enough to get the watch restart?

My phone used to be paired with my G watch, but after some problems, I decided to factory reset my watch and pair anew. till then it does not happen. at 1st my phone recognizes the watch and the code appears and I push the "pair" button, and it says "paired!", after that on my watch appears "updating" and then "syncing" but it takes a long time. For the android wear, the "updating" is on the screen the whole time, and when finished, nothing has happened and the watch isn't paired. I updated my andoird wear, cleaned its casch but no success. I've tried several times. My phone is htc e9 with lolipop, so is my G watch, with lolipop.
what should I do? some guy told me to update my watch, but it is not possibble as no network with unpaired phone. I also tried connecting the watch to pc and update it from there, bụt pc doesnt recognize the watch. help me please.
Try to reinstall the Android Wear app and sync the watch, it could probably fix the problem.
Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read.
I bought my Bip back in February and it has been a joy to use. About 3 weeks ago I opened the MiFit app and it said as it often did that there was a new firmware and proceeded to run an update. It had done this many times before without a problem. This time however when returning to the watch it said "Connect to APP to update". I tried connecting it to the app but each time I pressed tick on the watch the phone gave an error that the connection was refused. I checked the Amazfit support pages and followed the suggestions of rebooting the phone, forgetting the watch in the app and then in the bluetooth settings on the phone but the problem still persists. I tried it on the wife's iphone to rule out my handset but got the same error. The watch is not visible in the bluetooth settings of the phone.

Since then I have tried on an Android phone and got a bit further. With Android I can pair through bluetooth but when running the MiFit app I get an error that the connection fails when trying to pair up the watch. I then installed the "Notify and Fitness" app which does see the watch however on attempting to update the firmware or resources it fails at 98-99%. When using the tests in the app I can get the watch to run a heart rate test and vibrate. Also if I flash with a chinese res file then the language of the error also changes.
I have tried using the two alternative methods of update, new and old firmware but to no avail. I have also tried doing this without the MiFit ap installed and firmware updates through gadget bridge.
One last thing to try is for the battery to run down and restart the thing but I am still a week at least away from 0% and Have been trying to fix it for a fortnight
Do any of teh gurus of XDA have any tips or suggestions of what else I could try?
Thanks in advance!
Any solution in 2019 using iphone?
Hello.
Did you solve this problem?
I found solutions but they were wrote more than a year ago...
And all of them used android phones to install new (now old) firmwares, but I only can use my iphone...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I let it run down helped along by repeated vibration tests but eventually after about 3 weeks the thing ran out of juice. Charged it and started it back up and it booted up fine, it has been fine since! great little watch but really needs a hard reset button.
Good luck
Hi,
so today i've got the Amazfit BIP, but it's not working.
The problem is that i can't pair it for the first time.
After i've downloaded the Mi Fit App i wanted to pair the watch and i'm stuck on the pairing screen with the green and the red button. The watch doesnt react to any touch i'm making.
I've already tried the other apps like GadgetBridge and NotifyFitness, but it's always the same.
Is there a way to restart the watch?
Thanks for your help!
1. press the physical button to enable the screen touching
2. press the physical button longer(like 10 seconds or more) to reboot the watch
Hi there,
thanks for your reply.
But this does not work.
Nothing happens, just the backlight goes out
So you have to wait until the battery is down. I can't find another solution
same problem here!
i have the same problem; albeit mine is a new one.
i purposely have it unpaired; and thought "re-pairing" Amazfit Bip with my phone would solve the problem.
I was dead wrong. And now I'm stucked.
The phone were able to "see and recognised" the bip watch. However, the "Green" affirmative button cannot be confirmed as the touchscreen is NOT RESPONDING!
hi there,
i returned my watch and got a new one.
this time it works without problems.
Recently my Amazfit BIP automatically updated and it stoped being able to connect via bluetooth.
So I tried to reset to factory settings and now the Amazfit is frozen an its screen only shows the icon of connecting the watch to the smartphone, and it's not possible to stop this process.
I've tried to use different apps to connect and although they can find the watch, they are unable to connect.
Have anyone faced a similar situation?
Wait till it drains out en then start it up again. U should see the pair to device icon
My device is not turning on anymore..
i did try all the solution with pressing the button in many ways, Both buttons for 30+ sec, only red button also and other trials. Nothing.
Then i opened the smartwatch and if i've disconnect the battery clip inside, After i reconnect the clip connection, the device started with Amazfit logo, then reach the watch time screen and after 1 second it flash the screen, then it turn off immediately. After that there is no way to switch the device on, the only way i found is this. PS: also connected in charge do not turn on.
The meaning is that the Smartwatch still working but i think there is a software issue,
There is any way to flash or reset by software the device? Any way to update it connecting to a PC?
