Hey guys - I am a 360 owner with a Note 5. After the update recently the watch's gone bonkers, was wondering if any of you guys have any input or is having the same problems. I am so close to taking this back for warranty but first, let's see if we can troubleshoot this.
The issue is the bluetooth connection - it keeps dropping from the note 5 when ever it goes to sleep. If I unlock my phone, it will report saying the watch is disconnected. Upon opening the Wear app, the phone will try to communicate with the watch. Then it will be connected again. This watch will then stay connected for a while until the Note 5 goes back to sleep. I've been testing all day to see if I can fix this with no luck.
So far - I've factory reset, tried disconnecting and connecting, drained battery and recharge, also rebooted many times for both devices. The watch is draining battery fast trying to look for connection too. Any thoughts?
same for me, i think i fix it but i need more testing just make sure all permissions were provided to the wear app and inside the watch
Hi!
I got this watch a week ago and I absolutely love it! I've had no connection problems or anything but today everything went downhill: for some reason the watch's screen would keep turning on to the brightest setting draining my battery to 18% by the end of the day (normally 80%) I had to actually shut it off because it was being annoying and now for some reason it doesn't pair with my phone anymore :/ at least not fully, here's what's wrong:
Android Wear app and Zenwatch manager say the watch is connected
The bluetooth settings on the watch say "Oneplus One, Disconnected)
The little not connected icon that shows up on the watch face is not there
The watch battery section of the android wear app just keeps loading infinitely
The status in zenwatch manager also isn't updating anymore (stuck at 68% battery)
Does anyone know what's wrong here? I tried restarting both devices to no avail
I would try this:
1) "forget" the watch in the android wear app
*optional - clear cache for android wear app or uninstall the app
2) Factory reset watch
3) Go through initial set-up again
Clearing the android wear app cache at minimum or uninstalling the app is probably a good idea, but it may not be absolutely necessary.
Hello! 3 days ago I got the Amazfit Pace. I had some battery issues, but after 2 factory resets it kind of fixed the batter problem. Now when I open the app it says that it is syncing data, and it does that every time I get in the app. Yesterday when I opened the app it said last time that synced and a button to sync. It didn't start automatically like now. I am suspecting that it is syncing in the background and it drains my battery faster. Is it normal to act that way? Any way I can fix it?
Hi, i have a new Amazfit 2 Stratos with official international firmware US FW (2.3.2.7) and noticed cases where the battery would rapidly drain within hours, for example I would go to sleep with 60% battery and 6-7 hours later it would be on 5%...
I then noticed that if i reset the device, the rapid battery drain would stop, for example i noticed a rapid drain of 10 % an hour, so i reset the device and it stopped draining the battery...
Which made me think there is a stuck process or some firmware issue that keeps draining the battery, and I now reset my device every morning which makes it lasts days.
Anyone else noticing battery drain issues?
Having the same issue. What watch face are you using? I'm trying to narrow down the issue.
I've noticed the same after converting from Chinese to US. I'm thinking it might be caused by WiFi (or something using it) as it didn't start happening until I added my network.
...
try to install Task Manager and you can kill some processes which are maybe draining your battery. I use it as i have plenty of apps there.
I found the cause - the data sync. Each time you access the app on your phone, it syncs the data.
When you disable the wifi/data connection on your cell and access the app (while watch is paired), it tries to sync and fails. Problem is that it seems to be stuck in a loop until data connection is available and by then the battery depletes rapidly.
Solution - don't access the app while there is no connection in your phone to wifi/data.
Not sure if this is the only case when the watch syncs data - it might be syncing it automatically each day at a specific time - will post more info if i find out.
I also don't know if this bug is caused by the new firmware or not because i received the watch only last week and immediately updated to the new version based on the notification in the app.
It seems there is also a difference in battery use when using different watch faces. For example, I've observed that a watch face with no temperature will consume less battery than with a watch face with a temperature reading.
Anyone with similar experience?
I've bought an Amazfit Pace that sufered from same issue, te battery starts to drain all the way down in a couple of hours, so i returned it and decided to buy the Stratos, and guess what?
I have exact the same issue.
Tryed some things and i think the cause is related with smartphone bluetooth, in my case OnePlus 5T bluetooth.
If i desconnect smartphone bluethoot it stops draining, if i put it on again it starts draining again, if restart smartphone it stays good until it happen again next day or so.
Problem with battery discharge Amazfit 2
Hi, I also have a battery discharge problem. The watch battery will start to discharge quickly when I turn on the amazfit application on my phone. When the phone is restarted and I do not go to the Amazfit application, the watch connects everything works and the flashlight is ok, I turn on the application amazfit and the torch goes down. Tonight I put the plane on the phone and plugged in only the bluetooth and my watch was discharged in the morning. The red bar at the bottom of the amazfit app only appears when I'm not connected to the internet, I'm connected all the time. I have amazfit 2 China, recorded by Rom 2.0.14.0, Amazfit Watch 3.0.0 and HUAWEI Mate 10 lite
So it has exactly the same bug as the first one... (and I have it on my wrist). Well time to go back to regular (but expensive for nothing) watches

Basically what usually cause these problems are wither data sync issues or a problem with Bluetooth/WiFi.

I noticed the same issue with my pace on my OP5 after à phone update. Tried to reset, pair un pair still the same.
Issue was removed after oxygenos 5.1.0 but immediately back after last oxos 5.1.1
To move on I paires the watch to my xiaomi mi5 on global stable rom Android 7, all is fine.
Seems many phones are bt broken with oreo.

I think too, that this is some sync related issue. If I check the watch data in the Amazfit app, then the watch starts to drain with 2-3% per hour. However if I exit the app and turn off Bluetooth on the phone till the notification icon and the watch show disconnected and then turn back BT to get the watch connected again, the battery consumption goes back to normal.
Opening the app again starts the battery drain issue again.
I wrote it already in another thread here, I own an Amazfit Pace, of course with battery drain issues. So I tested a bit. When the phoneapp is syncing it shows an information field at the bottom, this field becomes green when finished. But a few seconds later another datasync is made, not shown in the app but indicated by network speedmeter in androids statusbar. I think weather is syncing there but if you aren't aware of this and close the phoneapp before this second sync is finished, the watch runs into battery drain.
Since I wait 10 seconds after the app shows the green sync complete field I never had drain issues again.

I have the opposite problem. My phone battery drains like crazy. I have the Stratos for 2 days /int. version/. It works great, battery life is excellent. I suspect the Amazfit Watch App /Android/ is the culprit. I have to charge my phone 2-3 times daily??!
I think my Stratos worked fine until I activated the 'continuous HR' feature (and switched it off again). Before that, it would easily last for 5 days on a full charge. But I also get these fast drains now.
I restarted the watch a couple of times, let's see if this did it.
I've had the same issue a while ago (also after testing the continuous HR feature), and there I really had to reset the watch and reboot 3 times to get it back to normal again.

Something is breaking the Bluetooth connection between phone and watch, the most common cases are WiFi interferences (test with phone in Airplane mode and only BT on and see if battery usage is OK on phone) or corrupted data when syncing to the cloud (open Amazfit app and check if syncing is OK - you should see a green bar at the bottom -, you may need to unpair - it will delete all data on watch - then pair again and answer NO when it asks to restore old data).
Indeed seems bt is corrupted. When draining occurs, even if I switch off the bt from the phone, the icon on the watch says it is still connected. Again for me this does not occur on nougat, only when pairing with oreo device.

Did you find a solution or did you send back the watch ?

Hello yesterday my amazefit bip stop registering my steps and heart rate. I turned it on and off which seemed to solve the problem. Later i got a battery low alert which was odd as my watch had about 40% charge that morning. My watch then turned itself off. I put my watch on to charge but it wasnt charging properly. It only occasionaly show the charging symbol abut is mainly just a black screen. Sometimes it will briefly turn on when i plug the charger into the mains. When it is on i can see it has at least two bars of battery but the screen is completely unresponsive. After a few seconds the screen goes black and does not turn on. Could someone help please.
try to unpair your watch from your mobile phone application and if you can from the setting in your watch also. then try to pair it again.
from Mi Fit application go to profile>Amazfit Bip>scroll screen down then you will find unpair (press it)
