AMAZFIT GTR 2e Smartwatch - Amazfit

I just got my AMAZFIT GTR 2e and have a few questions.
I was able to pair the watch with the QR barcode.
I want to set an always on displY. When I enabled it, I did it for all watchfaces. Somewhere a screen appeared stating that I can have it for 2o minutes so I enabled it (I think)
Somewhere the screen locked up and called Amazon for help. The gal said to uninstall the Zepp app which I did. I reinstalled it and paired it again. I could not find the screen that told me about Always On display for 20 minutes. I could not create it again. I don't care about the sports modes and will not use them. I only care to have the watch display the date, time and weather, stress and heart monitor.
Also I have a question about how I wear the watch. I wear it on my left wrist and the two choices on the watch had me confused. Which one do I pick. Buttons to the right or left.
When I wear the watch on my left wrist, the buttons are to the right. So I guess I would pick right.

I think I heard on a Youtube video there is a setting for screen timeout for 3o seconds. Is that correct?
If so, how do you find this setting?

Might just as well ask here:
Is there firmware version (or custom firmware) with airplane mode for GTR 2e? To the best of my knowledge GTR 2 has it...
?

Can you upload your firmware files?

What's the catch with airplane mode, lower battery? Why do you need it?

Yes it's true, optionally from 5s - 30s (inclusive).
You will find it in the watch - 2x top button - settings - scroll down - settings - display and brightness - automatic shutdown.

Hi, I have also a question for my gtr2e watch. When I receive a notification, my watch doest automatically unlock. It vibrates but I have to unlock it to see what I received. With my other watches like gtr and stratos3 I didn't had that problem. Does anyone know a solution?

If you change the Positioning service? You can set it in the user preferences. Try GLONASS instead of Galileo.

where do i choose this option? Are you sure this is possible on the GTR 2E?

isn't it in the settings/user preferences/positioning service? You can't find it in the mobile app, only trough the watch itself.
Maybe I remember wrong, I don't have the watch anymore.

I have used Runtastic Pro and Runtastic Pedometer, and both have the same issue. They have a setting to keep the screen on while running.
Have you been playing with the "Smart mode" setting, set to Sports Mode (can be found within settings). With Endomomdo, I once achieved what we are trying to accomplish, but only once: screen of, pedometer counting as expected.
Maybe trying different scenarios might get us closer to a solution?
google mytracks works
I have a US 1/8 running 5/27 firmware with OTA update. Smart Mode = Normal
My tracks seems work fine even after the screen does off. I am getting very accurate maps of my walks.

I just got my watch in late July. It came with the 5/27 firmware. I have not seen/used any other version but from what I have read here it is something new just not sure how new. I know that I am not having the issues mentioned by those who got watches early so maybe it was worth the wait.
On that note I asked for a full breakdown of the modes and what they do and got not response. Not sure anyone has it figured out yet and if omate does that have not shared that info anyplace I have found.

Amazfit english version screen touch not working.

Hello developers,from last 5 days my amazfit touch screen not working.Its getting charging and even displays time.I tried to restart it 100 times but no use.I drained the battery and charged it 100% but still no use.Anyone please help.
Found a solution
Hi dear friend,
I also got the same issue with the watch. I found a solution to this. U can easily rectify it by unpairing the watch through phone's Amazfit app. Then watch will restart and touch will start to work. Afterwards if any updates for watch is available u can update.
Try this....
If already u have rectified the problem, tell me how and please share it. It will be useful for other users.

So it's still stock... Does it connect to Amazfit app on phone? If yes, have you tried to upair the watch while it's connected and pair again? If yes again, I am sorry but most probably it's a hardware issue.
No at present i have unpaired it.

Use the phone with Amazfit that is currently paired with the watch to unpair it, keep both close and connected to each other so when you unpair all data on watch will be erased.
Or try this:

If it's paired with phone, go to Amazfit app -> My Watches -> More and tap on Unpair (it will erase all data on watch).
Or use the remote control app to go to Settings -> Device and choose factory reset. But I thought you had already done this (factory reset)...
Dear developers,
i have tried everything and at last my watch has been working its been updated 4 times and at present the version is 2.8.0.5
previously it was 1.2.6.0 or something.....its been working but sometimes the touch is not working,if i left it aside and after 10 to 15 minutes or after i restart it then it will work.
can you guys help me for this?
we can say that screen is flickering(making small quick moments).
please help
Anyone please help....iam a fitness freak and i badly need it to get repaired

hi , anyone had any sucess with this app? the remote screen . ? i cant get it to work and also have the same problem with the stratos touchscreen , but half of the right side does not work

Amazfit Stratos 3 cannot find new firmware 4.2.2.1

My Stratos 3 is currently running 4.2.2.0 firmware.
Today Amazfit app has notified me a new firmware available: 4.2.2.1, but when I choose to upgrade, the watch looks for latest version and says it's on the latest.
Is there any way to force the discovery? I'm currently facing problems to sync sport activities between the watch and the Amazfit App and I'd like to test the new firmware to see it solves those problems.
factory reset, it worked for me

Hi Johny, did you do anything else? I have done already like 10 factory resets, and the only thing I get after the incredibly fast firmware download is "Coudn't download updates, try again", and if try again, "Current version is up to date", once and once again
I'm losing my nerves with this watch, it works really bad
I'm in the same problem... I did 3 favtiry resets without any result. After a factory reset wath download firmware but appears a download error and stops... My watch version is A1929.
Another stranger thing is inthe amazfit app apeears a message to download the lastest version everytime.:crying:
Make sure watch can connect to Wi-Fi properly, otherwise it won't download the update. You can connect it in the settings on watch (of course).
Thanks for your reply.
The download finishes to 100% but when it try to install appear the download fail message... The wifi connection is on, and it seems to download all the firmware.
It can be a servet fail or similar. But it download to the 100%, I don't understand... I try 4 times factory reset and delete amazfit app to in mobile with same result.
If you know how to use adb, you can try this:
1. Connect the watch to the computer using USB
2. Make sure you have a file named "update.zip" on watch's internal storage after it reaches 100% downloading
3. Check if adb is working with:
Code:
adb devices
4. If it does, try to start the update with this other command:
Code:
adb reboot update
It was very very weird.
When I was at home, my watch always told me it was on the latest version, but when I tried again far from home, it detected the new version (but I didn't have a Wifi around to download).
I then used my mobile Wifi tethering but I received an error on OTAUpdate module.
I did a Factory reset and I downloaded and installed it perfectly.
Really weird indeed... I was able to update also by tethering, wifi at home or office didn't work, so thanks for your help
Hi.
Finally I can update, I explain the steps I have done.
1-factory reset
2-pair the phone with amazfit app.
3- select the update in the amazfit app ( not the stratos, because if you select in ther fails)
4- put password wifi and update.
The most extrange thing is because the same steps I done 6 or 7 times before, with the same wifi connection.
Luck!
no need in factory reset, there was a bad file pushed to the OTA. it was replaced, everything should work out of the box.
I'm still not able to update but that looks like different issue.
When I try to enter wifi password in Amazfit app, press tick mark on keyboard it does nothing. On phone keyboard closing, window to enter password still there with password entered (no ok or other button) and Stratos 3 still waiting for password.
Maybe that is some incompatibility with Android 10 in Nokia 8.1?
Same issue.. Disappointed with this watch
Same issue here. The updated worked for 4.2.2.0 after many attempts but not the 4.2.2.1. I tried using the watch directly or the app.
Also, the watch quality is poor. GPS doesn't work properly for running even if trying different GPS combinations (GLONASS, GALILEU,)
I had the Amazfit Pace and it was great comparing with this one.. Really disappointed.
Really, so it suffers the same flaw as GTR/GTS? Another Huami failure?

Yes.. Just saw other pages about GTR / GTS. Exactly the same.
It takes a long time to get signal and I even had a run of app. 7 km that the watch recognized as about 13 km.
Doesn't seem like an easy and quick fix either..
I'm about to action the warranty..

What is the firmware version you have running?
How many times did you try?
I'm 4.2.2.1 got it upgrade first time I boot.
Tried 2 or 3 times accuracy is good. GPS+Galileo (I'm french)
But I'm facing some bugs (due to early fw) the time of my workout it 1 hour sooner in amazfit app (if I do it at 15h00 it's displayed at 14h in amazfit app) in the watch it's ok.
I had also to disable "workout synced notification" because it was never stopping to send notification)
Last think I've noticed some notification are double sent: ex Gmail
But has I said the watch was first only in English French language came with latest fw. Some of you have those bugs?

The GPS accuracy has significantly improved after the last 2 updates. At the moment GPS is very accurate and fast to capture signal.
However, the watch still has many firmware issues. For example, at the moment after a lap is counted during a race, the rest of the race is all messed up (not fully counted in the app although all good in the watch, the KM pace is 0:00, etc.)
I was expecting the watch would be only launch once a stable system was in place and after owning it for months I feel we are doing the software development tests ourselves...
This was very disappointing. I had the Amazfit Pace 1 and was really happy about it but cannot recommend this watch.

Both procedures I told you have to be done in Smart/Normal mode as you need adb working on your watch, and in Ultra mode adb doesn't work.
Hello all,
I am new at running and looking to get a sports watch to track my runs along with little smart features like showing notifications and controlling music from my phone.
I have short listed two watches according to my needs. Amazfit Stratos 3, price 299 SGD or Garmin Vivoactive 3 element, price 267 SGD.
I need accurate GPS and HR along with less buggy software on watch and app.
Need help in deciding one of these two.
Garmin works well and reliable GPS is a must.
Amazfit (I have a first Stratos) is always in developpement mode, GPS not really reliable (not bad but not reliable), HRM really bad, tracking features not very well, connected features almost the baddest possible.... Otherwise it is an usable watch

If it is with latest firmware 4.2.6.0 it's normal everyone is facing this.
Roll back to 4.2.5.0
After starting the ultra mode my stratos 3 does not show any sensor readings when entering the smartmode again.
firmware: 4.2.8.0
Tried reboot, reset, wiping with adb. Using different watch face, starting ultra again, switching back to smart... (several times) nothing helps.
When using hart rate function in smart mode, led flashing for a while, then stops, no reading.
No steps reading no gps reading.
Watch worked fine for 18 months before I used the ultra mode once (forgot my charger on vacation...)
Somebody any idea....?
