Amazfit GTR Setup issues - Amazfit

I got this for a present. But, when I try to choose an activity, like pool swimming, whetther I tap the link or hold it, most of the time, nothing happens. The first time I did it, it showed 75 meters as the default (I have feet in setup as the unit). Then I see a scroll list, starting with 50 and a down arrow. No matter which I clicked on, it started the counting. Now when I go there, it doesn't give me the option to change it. I tried to factory reset it, still the same thing. I went to the apple store, and now amazafit is not Zepp.
I am really confused on this, and the manual is so basic (how to change watch face, etc), it's useless.
Any help, lilnks, suggestions, whatever would be REALLY appreciated.
thanks!

[Q] Spinning Arrows in Status Bar

I've searched this site and couldn't find anything about this. If I missed it, I apologize.
So, I've had my Sony Xperia X10 since December 2010.
Recently, about 2 weeks or so ago, a new logo has appeared on my status bar. It's not on the notification bar (the left side), it's on the status bar (the right side). The logo is a dual spinning arrow. The one that appears on the notification bar is 2 spinning arrows in a circle that are kinda vertical. The new logo i'm getting is of 2 noticably fatter spinning arrows, making a slight bigger circle where the arrows are going horizontally, not vertically.
When this new logo shows up, I can not send/recieve texts, nor connect the the Market or the Broswer. I haven't tried making calls, but I have never received a call while that logo is active.
It comes up randomally from time to time, and it's completely annoying. As I usually notice it when I'm at work or out and about, and I don't know exactly when it appeared or how, so I don't know if i've missed any texts or calls. When the logo is no longer there, then all of the texts that I missed during the time it was active all appear at once, with the current time stamp. I've responded to them, only to find that they were sent hours earlier, but I didn't recieve them until after that logo went away.
In order to get rid of the logo I've first tried checking all of my settings and apps and what not but with no luck. I've gone online to look it up but found nothing. So I've been turning the phone on and off. But it doesn't always work, and rarely works the first 3 or 4 times. I have to turn it off, and then back on, and when it comes back on, within 30 secs of fully booting up, it just reappears out of no where. I then shut it off again, and back on. and then, about 3 or 4 times later, it doesn't turn on, finally. Other times, I have to take the battery out, and then put it back in, and every time i've done that, it hasn't come back on when it rebooted. it's weird like that.
I've tried looking up this logo to see what it is, but I have found nothing on this logo. I've found the thinner vertical spinning arrows in the notification bar on many websites. But I have not found one thing on the thicker horizontal spinning arrows on the status bar. Even the official list of icons doesn't show it listed either.
It really sucks that it randomally appears out of the blue from time to time. Not every day. sometimes every other day, or every couple of days. but I never know exactly when it happens. it just appears. usually when its in my pocket or sometimes when it's charging, but always when i'm not paying attention to the phone. so i don't know when it starts, how long its been active, or how it starts. But I would like it to stop, only, I don't know how to do that.
I've found lots of answer to things for phones on this site, but have never felt the need to create an account or post anything, as i've always just looked and looked and found what i needed to know. But this time, i can't find anything anywhere. Again, if i overlooked it on this site, i apologize. But I coudln't find it.
Does anybody have a clue as to what this logo means or does. Again, it's not on the left side of the top bar, it's on the right side, and its bigger than the left side logo, and is spinning horizontally, not vertically.
After looking it up online, and checking settings and apps, and everything, to no avail, I got some antivirus apps, but they've all found nothing. So i'm stumped as to what this could be.
Is there anybody out there who could help or possibly know anything about this. My phone is ok for the moment, but it did happen earlier today, and I know it'll happen again soon.
Thanks in advance.
The spinning arrows is the phone syncing with account on the phone. Check the sync settings

Lol....
You have set up an account, either google, facebook or twitter.
Your phone will sync from time to time so that you get updated.
The spinning arrows are just that and are a completely normal function of the phone.
I would only worry if you have not signed up for any accounts (Including logging onto the market, because that uses a google account)
If you are still worried go to
setting
accounts and sync
and disable it
Hope this helps
It definitely is not the syncing. The syncing icon is a little different. Also, as I've stated, I've already checked those settings, among others. I've had both the syncing on at the same time as this new icon was on, and there is clearly two different icons, one stating the syncing status, the other nothing. I've disabled the syncing before, and that logo goes away, but not this new icon, which seems to disable any and all network activity. But I know it has nothing to do with the syncing, as that works fine and is controllable.
But thanks tho. Anything else it could be.
Is your phone rooted, if so , find an app in the market that can take a photo of your phone screen. Then we can see what the symbol is.
Look up the app shootme if your phone is rooted. And post the pic. This can help us solve your problem.

nope, sorry, its not rooted. I've never tried to root it. Tho I did update it awhile back. Long before this new thing started. It's always worked great before this. Like I said, it's only recently started doing this, like in the past 2 weeks or so. I have not added any new apps or games or anything in over a month either.
I doubt this helps, but heres some info on my phone.

Do you have auto software update checked. I can only think of that if its not the sync. icon. Use android SDK to take a screen shot if its not rooted.

[Q] wiped and still have strange boot program running...?

ok so this is a little strange...
i installed 3 programs and one of them has changed the way this tablet works.
i noticed that now when it is turned on it displays the word "ENGLISH" in the middle of the screen and this never happened before i installed 3 programs:
App Locker 2 paid
easy pic "or whateer it's called from the first page of the apps section"
Order and Chaos non official version -probably the culprit but i'm not sure
so my browser starts acting funny, giving me new popup screens above my password screens
and whenever i turn on the device it says "ENGLISH" on the screen. also it has been just connecting to the net and transferring information when not in use and when not ordinarily checking for updates
i tried to factory reset in the settings menu but when i turned it back on for the first time it displays: "ENGLISH" in the middle still... which means whatever was acting up is still there after a "delete everything factory reset"
if anyone could advise me of this it'd be GREAT thanks so much, or i can just return it and get a different pad
Whenever I boot my Prime after shutting it off completely, not just putting it to sleep, it shows "English" for a second on the screen as it is booting. Always has as far as I remember.
I don't have the browser issue you mention.

browser thing
yeah, the browser thing is strange. it's like a second box to type in overlays on top of the typing field and i can see the words or passwords or whatever i'm typing in the overlayed box and part of them underneath in the mostly covered box.
i changed all of my passwords to all of my major accounts like ebay, paypal, gmail etc just in case but that started happening at the same time as the "english" word that now comes up whenever i turn it on and sometimes when i bring it back from sleep for over 5 hours.

Very Slow Internet Browsing? + bricked during reset

I have two Lumia 920s. My phone is completely fine, browses the web very fast. My wifes 920 is really really slow. Brings up google in like 10-15 secs. Her phone says it's on wifi, but seems like it's on the Edge network... I deleted the wifi profile and reconnected, same speeds. I rebooted her phone, same speeds. Again my 920 is fine, and we both have the same apps installed(I have even more). Only difference is she has the cyan, and mine is white.
Anyone else having this issue?
Now to the bricking...
So I was going to hard reset her phone, but I wanted to try a test backup/restore on mine first. So I went into the about screen, and did a full wipe reset. My phone rebooted, and had two turning gears up on the sreen for 30 mins before I turned it off. Then the phone wouldn't boot. I had to reflash the firmware to recover phone. Anyone try a reset yet? Wondering if I have a hardware issue, or if this is a 920 issue(others have posted this too). Now I can recover it just fine with Nokia Care Suite, but the average user would have just bricked their phone. Surpised this can happen so easily...
I've owned 2 Quantums and a Lumia 900, and never had a brick even installing cab's manually...
BTW pretty disapponited with the backup/restore. I almost like WP7's backup better, just wished it included text messages. The WP8 restore doesn't set all settings back(no start screen restore... what???) or application settings. Also you only get prompted to restore the first time setting up the phone. The first time I skipped the MS Acount login, and when I added my account after, it never prompted. I reflashed phone again to use my account during the initial setup which then worked. They should at least have the option in the Windows software to do a "Full" backup.
Hmmm...backup works ok in my book. True, no start screen, but reinstalls apps, adds the emails and logins for the primary accounts, saves SMS and ie favorites. This is a step forward imo. Strange about start screen, but I can more than live with this.

I do think it's a step in the right direction, but I think they could add a few more options. First of all I should be able to restore at any time, not just during the phone's setup. The start screen is probably an easy thing, and will be included in a future update. I think the biggest thing is to have an option to save each application's settings/isololated storage if you want to. It still took me 30 mins to setup my phone after the restore, just wished "Apps + Settings" actually meant all settings.

This is obviously a topic where everyone is going to have different wants. Sure it would be nice, if...<insert your suggestion>.
Apple does it a little different, Android does it a little different. But I don't have those....<anymore>. I'm currently glad that MS does what it does now. A month ago, with 7.5, I didn't have that. A month from now, or the next version update, maybe we'll get more. Either way, I'm happier today than I was last month at this time....Progress....

[Q] Screen stays on after root

Hello,
I rooted the phone usin gExynosAbuse.apk and now I noticed that the screen will stay on even after some use. I set the display to go off after 1 min. FYI, Motion is OFF and Stay Awake is NOT checked in the development settings.
If the phone is freshly restarted the screen will go off after the set amount of time. However, after some use (not sure what triggers it), the screen would stay on until I pressed the lock/pwr button.
Any idea why?
Thanks.
You have an app keeping it on. Time to go through your list and find it
Thanks for the answer.
That sounds like a pita. I guess there is no other way than run an app and see if the problem comes back, repeat for all the app I have installed?
Well, think back to when the problem first occurred. As long as you weren't configuring apps at the time, its likely to be the last installed app.
Otherwise, you could do what I did when I had an app deodexing my /data/app directory every boot:
Uninstall them in groups until the issue goes away.
You could also take a look at your wakelocks, and narrow it down further that way. The phone definitely isn't sleeping when the screen is on.
Yeah, the thing is I just got this phone and after rooting I went crazy with app installs lol.
Guess will have to take my time to weed out the problem.
Thanks again!
Hope you find it.
After 70 apps, I gave up and just wiped data and started over when I had my issue, LOL.

[HELP]Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X stuck at blank screen.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, which I started using around March. Lately, I have been facing an issue which has left me troubled a lot. My Note 4X seems to be in a bootloop.
Around two weeks ago, I was casually using my phone in college. I had put around 25 apps on download from Google playstore. Alongside, whatsapp was running. I usually take pics of my lectures, so when the teacher had written on the board, and was about to erase, I quickly attempted to go to the home screen, by clicking the home button ( middle button), so I could launch the camera app, and take the pic. But, the phone didn't go to the home screen, and stayed at the app being used. However clicking on the recent apps (the left button), the two running apps showed. However, as I didn't have much time, I did what came in my mind. Reboot the phone. Unfortunately, as soon as it booted back, the screen remained black.
Its been like this for two weeks now. Whenever I turn it on, It will show the Mi logo, then the Android logo simultaneously below it ( Like usual when it boots), but after that, the screen goes black. Touching the three buttons at the bottom of the phone make the back-lit underneath light up along with a vibration(Like usual). Clicking the touchscreen gives a vibration. If a sim card is put inside, and a call made to the inserted sim card's phone number, the phone starts ringing as usual, however, still with a black screen. Another major issue I experience other than the black screen, is that the top right of the phone becomes really really hot as time progresses( within minutes)(This never happened before), and the battery drains really fast too. I get freaked out because of this( I think it might explode or catch fire), so I quickly turn off the device, after some tinkering.
I have been trying to find a solution since the past two weeks. Hard pressing the Volume Up+ Start button takes me into MiRecovery 3.0, which offers 3 options, 1.Reboot, 2. Wipe Data, 3. Connect To MiSuite. Going into 2 gives the option " Wipe All data" only, and 3 is seemingly useless the MiSuite doesn't support new versions of Android. Hard pressing the Volume Down+Start button takes me to FastBoot. It should be noted, that in both MiRecovery 3.0, and Fastboot, the phone doesn't warm up really fast, as it does when booted normally, and rather remains cool even if left for quite sometime in these modes (approx 30 minutes atleast).
The main thing I'm trying to achieve is to backup the data on my phone, mainly the photos (lecture notes), and whatsapp data. The rest of the app-data isn't that much important, albeit if also savable, it would be a bonus.
I haven't tried flashing any ROMs, recovery, or anything else, as I'm afraid the data may be erased, and as I have never done anything like this before. Also, my phone isn't rooted, as I didn't feel the need for it to be.
Help is highly appreciated. I hope to be able to safely extract my data, and be able to start using my phone again.
Thanks to advance to all those who reply.
Guys?
