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 everybody, since one month the Amazfit stops syncing after a while and the notifications stop working. When I reboot the Amazfit the app syncs again and everything works fine but after some hours it stops syncing and showing notifications again. I've tried stoping amazfit app, switch off and on the wifi, bt, airplane mode, even restarting the phone but the only thing working is rebooting the Amazfit.
I'm becoming desesperate, anybody with some clue?
Thankyou

Hi, I had similar problem when change my android one phone with a new xioami (miui8) phone, I solved the problem by forcing amazfit app run in background (in miui task manager)
Hello! yesterday I factory reset the my watch, and didnt upload backed activity from amazfit to the watch, so now the watch is "clean". Til now it seems to work ok! No sync problems. I hope it's fixed.
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!
http ://prntscr.com/i2pq06
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

Sadly, I am back - stuck on sync screen... We have to wait for next update i think.
I've been using an Amazfit Bip together with the Mi Fit app for a long time without any problems. The Bip hardly ever lost connection to the phone. Then I bought an Amazfit Bip S and as the Mi Fit app does not support it, I had to use the Amazfit app. I recognized that the Bip S permanently lost bluetooth connection to the phone, no matter what settings I changed. So I thought it would be a problem of the Bip S and bought a normal Bip again. But same problem... if the phone does not lie directly on the table, most of the time Bip has no bluetooth connection. Even if the phone is in its case on my belt, the Bip loses connection.
So it must have something to do with the Amazfit app, I guess. Somewhere I read that if you uninstall and reinstall it, Bluetooth connection problems may be gone. But if I uninstall the app, I lose all data, so before I do that I try to investigate what could be the problem.
The phone is a Blackview BV9700 Pro. I already cleared all data and cache of the Bluetooth app. I restarted the phone. I turned Bluetooth off and on again. I turned the option for a permanent notification in the Amazfit app on and off, makes no difference.
Can anyone confirm that the Amazfit app has a bad Bluetooth connection compared to the Mi Fit app? Could the problem be caused because both apps were installed at the same time at the beginning? I had Mi Fit installed, installed Amazfit and because the Bip was recognized by both apps I uninstalled Mi Fit and kept only Amazfit.

Hello,
Few things:
- I would recommend you to use only one App, AmazFit or MiFit at a time. I guess AMazFit is preferable depending on the watch you have. Unpair from one app and uninstall the app you don't want to use
- if you uninstall and reinstall the Amazfit or MiFit app with same credentials, Mi account or with mail/phone number, you should recover your data saved and you won't loose all your history. Maybe the one from the current day, I think. I jumped from MiFit to Amzfit with same account with no problem, recovering data for many years
- concerning the bluetooth, not sure what OS your are using, iOS or Android. You could check in the Amazfit or Mi Fit app properties if the OS is not using "battery saver" functions. Sometimes, by default, the battery saving is in "restricted mode" which can affect connections like wifi/bluetooth to save power. Try to see if you have this battery saving function ON and set to "no restrictions" - at least this is what I do on my Android phone.

Hm, now as you said it... the Amazfit app also loaded the data from the Mi account.

The phone uses Android 9. The Amazfit app is not restricted by any battery saving modes as I put it on "Not optimized" just like the Mi Fit app before.
Hello all, I updated my iPhone to iOS 16 beta and my notifications are not working at all. I know there was a fix coming as an update for the Zepp app which I did (7.1.5) but I am still not able to get anything from my phone into my watch. Notifications, calls, nothing at all. I tried submitting a ticket to support but got no response.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Exactly the same problem here. iOS 16 (not beta) and Zepp 7.1.5 (was on Zepp 7.0.3 and it was the same). I have an old Bip in my desk drawer that I tried to activate instead of my Bip S Lite and it actually did receive notifications, until it very soon didn't anymore.
It also seems the watch disconnects itself from Bluetooth from time to time and won't reconnect until I open the Zepp app and do a sync.
I have a watch face that indicates if BT is connected or not, so that's how I know when it's disconnected.
So same problem on both Bip and Bip S Lite. And it seems those aren't the only models affected. There are reports coming from here and there.

Same thing is happening with the Bluetooth too. It gets disconnected and it does not reconnect at all.
Yeah I have seen reports from other watch users and some of them have already been able to fix it but I have tried everything so far with no success.
I have also tried factory resetting the watch(es), forgetting the Bluetooth bindings and uninstalling/reinstalling the Zepp app many times, but to no avail.
EDIT: Have now submiitted 3 reports via the Feedback function in the app. Each one more detailed than the previous.
The latest one:
Watch not receiving notifications and constantly disconnecting from BT.
iOS16, Zepp 7.0.3 and 7.1.5
-Problems started with iOS 16, I think.
-Notifications for Phone calls, WhatsApp, Gmail and SMS. None of them work.
-Watch keeps disconnecting from BT and will not reconnect until I open the Zepp app and do a sync.
-Will not reconnect BT automatically after being out of range.
-I have tried every setting in the App itself and in the phone's settings.
-I tried my old Bip watch and it did show a notification, but only once. Then it too stopped receiving them.
-I have factory resetted both watches many times and uninstalled/reinstalled the Zepp app a couple of times.
-Have made the phone forget the Bluetooth binding many times.

I have also done all that and nothing has worked.
Mine started on iOS 16 beta before 16.1 like the update before it and it broke. First time I updated to the beta it was working fine but then the one right before 16.1 that’s where everything started.
Got an update to the Zepp app on my iPhone yesterday (v. 7.1.6) but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Still no notifications.
I'm beginning to think the problems have something to do with how iOS16 handles Bluetooth connections. The bug is either in iOS16 or in the watch Firmware (although other Amazfit models are affected too).
I base my asumptions on the fact that the watch has trouble reconnecting to BT after being out of range or after it's been restarted. If I restart the phone, however, the watch usually gets connected.
So if it is the phone that initiates the connection, it usually works. But if the watch itself tries to connect, then it doesn't work.
But then again, the notifications do not work even if I keep the Bluetooth window open on my phone and the watch is 100% connected when a message arrives. Strange.
There is also something weird when I make the iPhone forget the BT pairing to the watch. It usually immediately rediscovers the watch and tries to pair again. This happens even if the watch is set to NOT be discoverable.
Just got another Zepp update in the App Store. 7.1.7.
Still no cigar.
There will be no more Huami watches in this household.

My apologies for my absence, I am not getting any notifications and honestly lost hope on this. I understand that this is something that might take time but 3 updates later, no real resolution or acknowledgment of what is actually happening.
I also believe that this issue has to do with the connection that the app has with the iOS16 beta since it started after an update. I got beta going, and everything was going smoothly, received an update and everything went south after that with no success or real connection whatsoever.
I just updated the app to 7.1.7 as you did and still the same, the only difference is that it seems the connection is more stable as it has not been disconnected yet and still shows connected without any issues.
I have not encountered the situation you are experiencing in that even if you unpair the watch the phone forces the connection again.
Indeed, I think this will be my last Huami watch. My wife is dying to update to iOS16 but I have warned her multiple times not to since it will break the connection.
Right now I just feel I have a regular watch that I have to charge in order to see the time...
It’s not the iOS beta. I was on the official 16.0 to 16.0.2 and the problem was there. Jumped on the 16.1 beta to try to solve it, but no luck there either.
Threw my Amazfit in my desk drawer and bought myself a Withings Scanwatch.
I finally am able to receive my iMessages on my Amazfit GTR4. On the Notifications in iPhone, go to Messages, and make sure in the Lock Screen Appearance-->Show Previews-> When Unlocked. Mine had changed to Never, as soon as I changed that and synced the Zepp app, now my messages are going through to my watch! Just thought I'd share what worked for me.
Seems that the Zepp app version 7.2.1 has fixed the notifications on my watch. They took their time, I might say.
...aaand then I updated my phone to iOS 16.1.1 and the watch (Bip S Lite) stopped notifying again.
EDIT: My Amazfit Bip on the other hand seems to be notifying just fine. Think I'll be using that one for now.
It definitely seems like the Bluetooth on my Bip S Lite is broken somehow. It won't automatically reconnect after it's been out of range/disconnected. I have to manually open the app to connect it again. And still no notifications.
I've contacted both the seller of the watch and Amazfit. Let's see if they have anything to say about it. I'm using the old Bip for now.
Dusted off my old Bip S Lite and paired it to my phone (or rather reactivated it, since I never did unpair it). To my surprise, it updated its firmware (to 2.1.1.86). Will try it and see if the notification issue is gone.
