Stratos 3 firmware 4.2.8.0 thread - Amazfit

Please report what has been fixed and what not.
Fixed:
system reset during workout
Not fixed:
gps flats corners
WhatsApp notification doesn't work

Indoor poolswimming distance isn't syncing anymore, only the activity time.
This is in Strava, in Zepp everything is ok.

I did a small hike, 8km/1000m.
The altitude is correct at first, but it shifts as it goes. at the end, a difference of 100m over 1000m changes the height difference measurements.
Ex: (map heigh / stratos heigh)
start 1350m/1350m
Top 2350/2250
end 1350/1450
Does someone also get this behaviour ? Is it related to this firmware ?

I wonder why my Startos shows no updates available (both from watch and in Zepp app)
I am on 4.2.7 Anyone else that didn't get the update?

It is not linked to this fw I always faced this previously. I think it's linked to altimeter barometric.
This 4.2.8.0 is the most stable since the 4.2.5.0 no more bug during workout. GPS fixes really fast and is reliable.
I do not face flat turns. (Turns are flat in zepp but in Strava all is ok as usual) I'm with Galileo
For notification I use amazmod so I have no feedback about this point.
I will stay with it and finally stop using the old 4.2.5.0

Connect your watch in WiFi then try again. It is found only from it connected in wifi

I got the update when checking from watch settings manually.

Thanks, manually checking on the watch when connected to WiFi worked

Hello There,
Thank you for contacting Amazfit Customer Support. We apologize if the products caused you any inconvenience.
Can you see the WhatsApp notifications from the app on the notification bar of your phone? Is your watch connected to the app when you receive the WhatsApp notifications?
1, You should enable the specific app notifications in the app, such as Whatsapp/Facebook/SMS. If you have enabled it, please send us a screenshot.
2, Please check if you enabled the Silent mode on the watch. If you enabled silent mode/DND mode, you can't receive any notifications at all. please also send us a screenshot that you haven't use the DND mode.
3, The premise of receiving a notification on the watch is that the notification is received on the mobile notification bar and the watch and the phone connected.
4, If the phone notification bar does not receive the message, the watch will not receive the message.
5, If the watch and phone are disconnected, the watch will not receive the message.
I hope this info helps you a better understand.
Please allow WhatsApp notifications in your phone settings and send us a screenshot, I attach you an example below, please open all the options indicated by the arrows.

My problem is that I have no issues when watch is in Ultra Mode. But when I switch to Smart Mode I receive no WhatsApp notification

Got the same issue buddy. Notifications only work properly in ultra mode.
And I have a Galaxy note 10+ running one ui 2.5... so not a very exotic phone. So I wonder, if not many others have the same problem, too.
One question: Do you use adguard DNS to block ads? Because I use it and I thought it might be related to the issue.

I have iPhone and I don’t use any block ads app

On 4.2.6 notifications worked great. On 4.2.7 and 4.2.8 the watch is laggy when getting notifications. I think it is the bugfix of application icons that they did on 4.2.7. This is very annoying.

Unfortunately I still have the error problem when recording activities. In 9 of 10 tries the recording stops after a while, random numbers are shown on the screen and there is no data to save. The problem first appeared with 4.2.6.0 and is still present in 4.2.8.0. For me 4.2.5.0 is the last working firmware. Really annoying ...

@winni21 Are you still on 4.2.8.0 and are all workouts working without error since that? Because I switched to 4.2.8.0 recently and I faced the error during second workout and yesterday 3 times during one long workout
Did you do a factory reset or do you have you any hints for me? Otherwise I have to switch back to 4.2.5.0 - this is the latest firmware without any errors for me.

Hi yes I'm still on 4.2.8.0 I made 4 or 5 workout without any pb (biking and running)from 1 to 2:30 hours up to 36kms.
I don't remember if I reset the watch.
What I did: 4.2.5 -> 4.2.6->4.2.7->4.2.8 (update done from the watch)
If it happens to me I'll tell you.
I'm in Galileo mode.
The only strange thing: I was able to have stress widjet with amazmod but after restarting the watch I do not see it anymore.

Thanks Winni. I will roll back to 4.2.5.0, do a factory reset and then try to update via the watch to 4.2.8.0 - perhaps in this way somethings works different/better. I will give it a try!

The "hack" I found to get the stress mode back, from the zepp app, add a random widget if you don't have one. Then disable all widgets and it will show you the stress one. I've enabled only that one, since I'm always opening the other widgets from the app launcher.

In the Zeep app, choose profile, Stratos 3, then widget manager.

Workouts still broken

So I rolled back to 4.2.5.0 with a full factory reset. After that I updated to 4.2.8.0 via the watch OTA (4.2.5.0 -> 4.2.6.0 -> 4.2.7.0 -> 4.2.8.0). I was able to complete 2 workouts - each over 2 hours - successfully. But today morning when I started my run, the watch stopped after ~40 seconds with the known problem
When I tried to start a new workout, I got no GPS fix. Only after I restarted the watch, I could start a new workout with very fast GPS fix and could complete the workout.
I gave Amazfit feedback with screenshot via the app. But loosing activity data is such a great mess for me, that I will stay at 4.2.5.0 for the moment. Next weekend I will start a 100km walk about 20 hours I have to depend on the watch (Routing).

[APP]NavMusic ? Offline Wear Music Player

Hi!
I created a android wear app to listen to music offline. It includes an FTP server to quickly transfer music to your watch. It includes a watch face that fetches your current album art. Great for long runs or workouts without your phone.

Hi @Joelphillipage
Could I confirm this is working on Android wear 1.5??
I installed this on my Sony smartwatch 3 (with Note 3 phone) and applied promo code (thank you) but app is not appearing on my watch.
Even confirmed using Wear App Manager (says app is not found on wearable device)
Update:
App eventually showed up on the watch.
This app really works work, the reason I was interested in this app was for the ftp function.
When I get home will test this side of the app.
Music player is working fine though
The App is now free for a limited time. Be sure to check it out!

Tried everything I know but the app still doesn't appear in my SW3.
Would really like to try it... If anyone has some trick.

I'm sorry you are having trouble. This seemed to be working fine initially, but has been having problems recently. Unfortunately, documentation for having a standalone app for 1.x is still rather vague. I pushed a new update. Could you make sure you get version 0.3.4 installed on your mobile device and try re-syncing your apps? From what I understand, this does take some time. If the issue persists, I would be happy to send you the Wear APK to be installed manually.
Thanks for the feedback!
-Joel
With the new update the app was installed on the wear minutes after... Thank you. Gonna start testing tomorrow.

Great! Thanks for the confirmation. It is hard for me to know if something I did messed it up or fixed it.
Hi! First of all, thanks for your job. App installed on my LG G5 with nougat. It does not appears in my Sony SW3. Should it be seen like a regular app in the phone too? Would like to try, working with wear media until now, your app looks better.

Yes. It should download on to your SW3 after you install it on your phone and appear as an app on your watch. This appears to be a problem mainly with this device, though transfering apps has always been slow on Android Wear 1.
Some troubleshooting steps:
-Uninstall and Re-Install NavMusic. (Google Play Music didn't transfer until I had done this)
-Try Re-Syncing the apps in the Android Wear App.
I'm very sorry for the problems users of this watch model are having. I will contact the manufacturer.
In the meantime, I will PM you the current APK and you could sideload it using this method:

I understand this is a poor solution. You could also try a factory reset, but understand that this would be a pain. Thanks!

I contacted Sony for support but they said they would be unable to help me as I did not have an Xperia phone with a SmartWatch 3 and were not very helpful. Seems like a pain. Anyway, the app should be supported, and I would be happy to send the APK to any affected users. You may try getting in touch with there tech support and see if they have any other suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks! I tell you. Reinstalling the app from Play store did the same thing, fail. Resyncing apps failed too. I received your pm with the apk. I installed directly from the phone with a file browser and apeared in the watch! [emoji122] . Your app looks very good. I proved ftp transfer and ok. Wifi must be the only way to connect, bluetooth off, as the other ftp app I used to try. Later I will prove the music player in a running session, I will tell you, but I like it too much by now [emoji106] . Thanks for your effort and excuse my english, I try my best [emoji1] .
Edited: I forgot to tell you that help option in settings does nothing for me, watch or phone.

Thanks for the feedback Nibblex. Glad you could get it working! The help button only works on Wear 2.0. It opens up this site: http://turndapage.com/navmusic/#faq. I may just show that as a message on previous versions.
Be sure to leave a review if you were satisfied.
I downloaded the app and have waited several hours now in which I resynced my apps to the watch multiple times but I still don't have the app on my watch.

I'm sorry your having trouble installing it, Daniel. I will PM you the wear APK so you can install it manually like Nibblex.
I will do the same for any Sony Smartwatch 3 users until the issue is resolved. I have tried reaching out to Sony about the issue, but they are not helpful.
Thanks for the patience!
I googled a little to see if there is something I can do. I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25355672/android-wear-not-sync-my-app-to-watch-why
Does your app fulfill those points?

Thanks for the link. I did include the same permissions for the mobile app, but I believe the other steps in that thread are for bundling the wear app inside the mobile app. I posted a similar thread in which it was confirmed that you are no longer supposed to use that method.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...parate-wear-apks-for-android-wear-1-x-and-2-0
You are supposed to upload two separate apks with the same package name. I have gotten confirmations from other Wear 1 users that the app did eventually install, but there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason why.
Thanks for checking it out - I just thought it might be worth a shot.
Thank you for the PM. I downloaded the APK but was unwilling to pay 2€ for the app to sideload the apk to the watch so I left it overnight and the app did in fact eventually install - it was there when I woke up.
After copying my first file and trying to listen to a podcast I have some feature requests:
1) A control to skip just a couple of seconds or speed up playback is necessary. WearMedia does this quite nicely for example.
Otherwise it is a pain to find the position you want to start at in a 1h long podcast.
2) The volume controls in the playback view should have some feedback (as in the number of bars next to the loudspeaker could change for example) - otherwise it is hard to know at which level you are at.
3) Why use black as default background when there is no cover when the app itself has a brown color?
4) The clock is cut-off in the watchface on my Sony Smartwatch 3 (see attached picture)
Hope this helps to make the app even better.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it finally worked. I can definitely do something about the ambient mode being off the screen and the volume feedback. As for the background, I did make it darker in the last big update as there were complaints of not being able to read the text, but it is brown as you can see in the screenshot below. I am also in the process of creating a similar podcasts app as I know this is something a lot of people want, but wanted to keep the controls simple for this one. I'll let you know when I've got a beta for that so you can try it out.
I'll get started on those fixes for the next update.

I don't mean the overall color - just when there is no album cover art the default background is black.
Edit: Nevermind. I tried to take a photo to show you what I mean and after having the app crash on me while navigating through the menus I restarted the app and now the color is brown everywhere. I have no idea why the background was black in the beginning.

Finally managed to get this working on my Sony Smart watch 3.
Podcast were quick to download and play.
Really liked it.
For those who wish to use this app, can I suggest searching for a few popular feeds to test, then add your own personal casts.
I always like to search for wwe and football as these always yield high search results.
Another great app from Joel, well done.

I bought the app today, how do you set some connections as metered. I have an LTE Huawei watch 2 and will only like to download podcasts over wifi. How do I do that? Thanks

Hi,
I don't believe Android Wear allows you to set whether a connection is metered or not as you can on a phone, but as far as I've seen any connection over cellular data is marked as metered and any connection over WiFi is not so you should be good as long as you keep the setting on that asks before you download. If you want to be sure, try disconnecting your WiFi and trying to download an episode over your data. It should let you know that you are about to download over data and ask for your confirmation.

If it is prompting you to download over WiFi, it won't automatically download. Is your watch connected to WiFi over the phone's Bluetooth or directly. You could try switching off Bluetooth on your watch and see if it still prompts you.
Thanks a lot for your kind reply, i have unchecked the metered connection option and it is still not downloading with wifi or bluetooth. Please advise what to do ? Thanks

I apologize for these repeated questions but I have the latest version and I have toggled the auto-download setting but I am still unable to download any podcast.
What does the check mark next to the name and graphic of the podcast do?

No problem. Sorry it's causing you trouble and thanks for your patience. Let me confirm:
-Check metered downloads is off (you could try toggling this again in case this was caused by the same bug I was trying to fix)
-Auto Download new episodes is on
-Watch is connected to network
-The watch is removed and then placed on the charger(The event won't trigger until it starts charging)
-There are unplayed episodes to download (This is what the checkmark means. The episode has to be unchecked for it to automatically download. New episodes will automatically be unchecked. You can mark all as unplayed by clicking on the podcast title in the episode view and selecting "Mark all unplayed").
Look forward to your response.

Thanks for the detailed steps, I tried all this and despite being connected to my phone I have not been able to download any podcasts.
P.S. I have also tried by disconnecting from my phone by turning off bluetooth and connecting directly to a wifi network but that has also not worked.

Are you not even able to download podcasts manually? If not, try force closing the app and clearing the cache (even if it isn't running) or rebooting. It's possible something has gotten corrupted in your download background service. This should clear it out.
Could you try checking your downloads in the app? (Open the navigation drawer from the top and select the down arrow) Do any items show up? There is a bug I've found that doesn't mark downloads as failed if they got interrupted. If they show up in the downloads section, it won't download automatically. If you see them here, click the trash button at the top to clear them all. I will try to fix this soon.
[Edit] I think I was able to fix the bug with failed downloads being unable to restart. Please update to 0.8.8 and see if you are able to manually start a download.

Okay. I think I've found the issue. Sorry for the delay. Android Oreo won't let apps start background services (such as syncing podcasts) from events like charging. The latest update will sync when you open the app. You can also force a sync by opening the app and placing the watch on a charger. Let me know if this latest update fixes the problem. Thanks for the feedback. :good:

Hi
I'm already installed on my watch and I noticed the system is much smoother than before ?
I've updated but can't find the new Mountaineering activity. Can anyone else see it?

Hi,
I just bought this watch and love it, upgraded this morning to 1.3.5. Looking at the change log it says:
Removed occasional Chinese voice prompt from lap alert
Does this watch support and audio prompt in the lap alert? For me it just vibrates and shows on screen my pace for the previous kilometer.
If you have the BT headset connected, yes.

Thanks for the reply, how can I get this to work? I run without my phone and have a Bluetooth headset connected playing music, I also have the lap alert enabled in the settings! This is the one thing I'm missing in this watch so it would be great if I could get it working!!

Strange bug on amazfit
Hello, ive found something strange on my watch. We all know the option huami lab called 'ppg capturing'. Seems when you reboot the watch, this option is auto activated: i've seen many times my watch tracking my heartbeat while i was on my bed since the night. I've checked huami lab ppg capturing and resellected the cross and it is fine then.

Thanks for that, this can be useful since I noticed that battery autonomy was dicreased by this update. I'm sure this will improve it.
I'll wait for a few days, as usual, but if someone could check the couple of glitches I've had on 1.3.4f :
1. When changing the watchface on watch , by press&hold, it always scrolls to 1st one, so I have to swipe eternally to left to get to one wanted.
2. Sleep tracking was laughable from day one for me, it shows 4-5 hours of sleep per day, every day.
3. Some watchfaces were stopping the watch and touchscreen from working, when you choose custom background (on the watch itself)
Could someone check those, please?

Stratos 3 4.2.4.0 firmware bugs

Got my stratos 3 just before Christmas and I'm suffering several annoying bugs with 4.2.4.0
1. After changing from ultra to smart, touchscreen doesn't work. If I reboot the watch again the touch comes to normal;
2. During some sports sometimes the screen doesn't update, I have to unlock to get updated info such as time;
3. When following a GPX track, if the track name inside the GPX is big, the watch render the trail twice with a distance between the renders turning it difficult to follow a track;
4. Not really a bug, but annoying: It's slow to change between tracks on music player (bluetooth) my old amz pace was instantaneous;
5. When hold the back button it return to the watchface but make all physical buttons unresponsive. Also happens randomly;
6. App doesn't shows vo2 info;
7. Impossible to transfer a large mp3 file (140mb podcast) thru file manager.
8. After a factory reset, tried to transfer 5 mp3 files (~20mb each). Transfer was interrupted and usb was not working. After a watch reboot usb got working again and I could transfer each file individually and waiting some seconds between transfers.
It really seems like a unfinished firmware with some simple test problems, the touch problem is really simple to test but maybe it's just me.
Anyone suffering from the same problems?
i bougth a stratos 3 bircked, i need the firmware multilang to try to repair, anyone can help me?
Hi,
no pb with touchscreen for me ( switching from ultra to smart)
pb with update screen i've noticed some bugs sometimes
Did no try GPX since a long time but it was working well
no pb with back button.
Vo2 max is only working with running workouts.
i face a pb with altitude in smart mode on the watch it seems ok but on the app/strava i have not same values...
it is only in smart mode (in ultra seems ok)
during workout altitude in standby vs active is not the same.
hope they'll publish a new firmware soon
hi
My watch cannot be paired and I am waiting for new firmware.
Yesterday, mine lost the connection with my phone. I am totally disappointed :crying:
Next to other problems (no sync with Strava), I am fed up with this watch
I've got exactly the same problem. Right now my touchscreen doesn't work at all.
Hello everyone,
Talking about bugs, I got my Stratos3 end of last week, international version updated to last stock ROM (I checked and bootloader is locked).
Is anyone else having problems with notifications?
The call reminder is working, but I don't get any notifications... so only phone calls are working.
Yes, all is enabeled, I double checked, I also tried to dissable and enable notifications again, reboot etc.
Phone is Xiaomi Mi9 with xiaomi.eu beta custom ROM - Android10.
Is it a Stratos bug? Or it could be MIUI?

Notifications works for me. I'm using a mi 9 lite miui 11 global version stock.
For notifications you need two things:
1. Amazfit Notification access permission (Notification access in miui settings)
2. Mark apps inside amazfit app on notifications settings

Chacked also this once again, Amazfit app has notification access permission.
And all apps in app notification setting are marked - notifications allowed.
Could be a MIUI beta thing maybe.... I will try later today without batter optimization. That's the only thing that comes to my mind right now.
Do you have Stratos 3 International or Chinese version?

Yes, all test notifications are working.
Call notification is also OK.
Find my phone function is working.
But all other notifications are not working on the watch...
Maybe I should try a factory reset?

Internacional.
Seems like a phone/rom problem.
I would clean reinstall Amazfit app first.
Maybe you have access to another smartphone just to test.

Smart! Thanks for the idea, I will test it on my Samsung phone. Completly forgot to do that [emoji16]
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a phone rom issue if you guys have no notification problems...

It's totally different topic about Stratos3 4.2.4.0 firmware bugs.
You should create your own post instead.

So it was a watch problem.
Really annoying how buggy this watch behave.
My touchscreen stopped working after coming from ultra to smart. The issue is that it does not work even after a reboot or factory reset.
In Ultra mode, still working.
In ultra mode, display is Blank. I try everything to fix. from reinstall official rom, and some official option in developer mode, to external script founded here on XDA. Nothing helps.. i call that a bug

Amazfit Stratos 3 on iPhone

Hi all,
I recently received my Stratos 3. I paired my iPhone X (on iOS 13.6) with the watch without any problem but since then, I have to wake-up the watch to receive notifications, I don’t receive them automatically. I’m running 4.0.20.0 Saratoga’s ROM. Is anyone facing this issue? Anyone with iPhone and Stratos 3? If yes, which iOS on iPhone and which ROM on watch?
Thank you in advance
Up!
Stratos (2) on iPhone, no issue, just weather do not update well but in android it works well only now (after 2 years).
Notification right but do not clear phone notification when clear from watch.
iPhone 11 with 13.5 running
Stratos 3 With stock firmware running 4.2.7.0
Buggy in GPS and other issues.
Sorry, I have not set notifications. But will test it tomorrow
I only receive notifications from the apps shown in the picture.
https://subefotos.com/ver/?38140cb3f793fdbbb5a5ada425035547o.png
Why not all apps are listed? Why WhatsApp is not included in the list? I don’t receive any WhatsApp notifications.
They appear in the list after phone sent a notification for the first time for the app. Before, the app is not in the list.
The problem is that not all apps sending notifications to the phone are listed. WhatsApp is not listed and I don’t receive notifications from the app
Same
Hi, i have the same problem but only since last watch update. To receive notification you need wakeboarding the watch. Sometimes I receive WhatsApp notification after I already reply 10 min ago...
Also, I don't understand, this gps works fine but it is not accurate like my polar RC3 from 2013...
In ultra mode notifications are perfect...
