I got a Stratos 2 a couple of weeks ago and I am exceedingly happy with it. One feature is the ability to connect the watch to a WIFI router. I have done that but still cannot figure out what that actually does.
Could someone shed a light on that for me?
Upload watch data to cloud. I sometimes have to do this so activities sync with MiFit.
On stock watches WiFi is only used to:
1. Upload sports activity data directly to the cloud;
2. Download firmware updates;
3. Send error report logs to Huami.
You can use third party apps to enable WiFi and keep screen on (WiFi disconnects if screen goes into standby mode), but battery will drain a LOT faster.
Hello I got problem with amazfit stratos 3. I cant pair it with any phone. Its probably becouse I accidentialy factory reset it while airplane mode. It seems like bluetooth is not working after reset becouse still in airplane mode. Now I have no access to settings to turn off airplane mode becouse watch restarted in pairing mode. Is there any option to anyway enter settings in pairing mode? Or what should I do?

I know few people with bluetooth issues on the watch. I've faced some problems to connect the watch to the app.
You can try:
Make sure you don't have the watch still paired in Amazfit app, if so, just unpair it from the app.
Remove the watch from Bluetooth paired devices.
Disable bluetooth on phone, force close Amazfit app and clean cache of the app.
Reboot into Ultra mode:
Code:
adb reboot mcu
and then go back to Smart mode.
Use AeX Amazfit mod app, since I'm using this app, bluetooth connection has improve in my case: https://portal.mi-room.ru/files/aex-amazfit-mod/
If nothing of this works, claim for your warranty.
Thank you, but nothing helped. Ill contact support. If anyone else have any idea how to solve this problem please reply. Btw, checked bluetooth status by adb, it says its off sadly

If you use:
Code:
[COLOR="Blue"]adb shell dumpsys bluetooth_manager[/COLOR]
You will get:
Code:
enabled: false
state: 10
address: D8:80:3C:3B:71:F3
name: Watch
Bluetooth Service not connected
Even if BT is correctly connected so is not 100% trustable.
But yes, it's better to contact them.
If you want to do some other test, you can install PaceOn, which has WiFi/BT toggles and try to enable BT.
Before installing the apk, bypass the QR screen with:
Code:
[COLOR="blue"]adb shell pm hide com.huami.watch.setupwizard[/COLOR]
install the app, and play around with BT toggle.
If you want to launch the QR again:
Code:
[COLOR="blue"]adb shell pm unhide com.huami.watch.setupwizard
adb shell am start -n com.huami.watch.setupwizard/.InitPairQRActivity[/COLOR]
Sadly still nothing. Updated firmware by OTA to 4.2.4.0, no results. Also tried to play with bluetooth. Nothing happend.
If anyone still need information how to pair. It worked somehow, after few days off becouse of battery gone. Battery went to 0, then watch shutdowned. After power on, there is information your watch need alteast 5% battery to pair. If you click on it, pairing QR appears for a moment, then i scanned it before dissapeared and it worked.
Hello all,
Sorry for the offtipic post.
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.
I have same problem.
It can pair only in ultra mode.
What should I do?
try to turn on GPS on the phone. for me was only option it paired.
For some time music controller doesn't work. Has anyone the same problem?
Hello all. I will continue here with my issue.
I have amazfit Stratos 3 (rom version 4.2.8.0)
I used the mobile phone HUAWEI MATE 9. No issue with the pairing in the past.
I bought a new mobile phone, ONE PLUS 9, and the issue started.
I had no issue with the old phone; the watch was always connected only with Bluetooth, without location on. The connection was stable without any problem.
I bought a new mobile phone, moved the APP ZEPP, and paired the watch. It worked, but it was not stable. The connection was dropping. I changed the phone's battery customisation for the app, so the app was always on, but nothing changed. Then I upgraded the firmware to 4.2.8.0.
Long story short, I have an issue with both phones from the firmware upgrade.
I can pair the watch with the old phone, and the connection is stable until the first time that watch loose connection with the phone. Then I cannot pair it anymore, and I need to factory reset the watch to pair it again over and over again. The connection with the new mobile phone does not work anymore.
I mostly used watch for 24/7 notification. And this is getting annoying to me.
What can I do? I appreciate your help.
UPDATE 1: with several attempts, I manage to pair the new phone with Stratos 3. BT and location on. IS location necessary that is on, because it draining my battery. On the previous phone, my location was off and the watch connected without issue.
UPDATE 2: The connection was paired for cca 2-3 hours. But in the last 30 minutes, somehow the connection was lost and I cannot pair it again.
I've had my BIP for a while and after I finally got it working (it took over a month to get it working at first), I have enjoyed the BIP and it's functionality. The other day both the MiFet and Amazfit apps connecting to my watch. I tried resetting the BIP, only to end up with the screen locked on, "Open the app to pair". Neither app will connect to the BIP and no matter what I do, I can't even get to the time.
If anyone might have a suggestion for how to get back to normal I would sure appreciate it!!
Thanks all!
Richard

Hello !!
I have had the Amazfit GTS for three months and it worked perfectly.
I had it linked to two different mobiles, an iPhone and an Android.
I could use one or the other to download sports activities and check steps, sleep etc ...
With the update to Zepp it has stopped synchronizing with the iPhone, it cannot connect.
On Android it works perfectly.
I would like to be able to continue using both phones, but it can't connect, it tells me to reset the clock and try again.
Can any of you have two different phones connected?
Not at the same time, turning off the other's BT first.
Greetings.
Tested!
Not at the same time.
Connect GTS to iphone with Zeep account A then tủrn off iphone Bluetooth
Then sign on to Zeep account A on the Android phone and connect bluetooth with GTS.
Now. When you want to connect to what phone to receive notification, then just tủrn off bluetooth on the other phone. GTS will automatic connect to the first phone it see to show the notification and syscn the activities.
Hi. the tittle says it all.. i just bought this watch and i find it a pretty good watch, everything works fine but i cannot activate phone calls. When i try to switch it on, the phone ask for pairing with bluetooth ( when its already paired and conected) Its this normal ? If not, there is some workaround or fix ?

I have exactly the same problem, with my Sony Xperia 10 III (Android 11) phone.
I had an Amazfit Bip, which is a great watch. I was undecided between a GTS 2 mini and this watch. I paid €80 more specifically to get the phone function, and I can't turn it on.
Amszfit seems to have zero support, other than an FAQ.

I have managed to solve this problem, but I don't really understand how it worked.
My GTS 2 was connected to my phone (Android 11) and I assumed there was a Bluetooth connection. However this phone function couldn't be activated because Zepp said there was no associated device.
I turned off Bluetooth and attempted to reactivate it manually. On my phone, the watch wasn't visible. I rebooted both the watch and the phone, but no luck. However, I realized that the phone was finding my old Amszfit Bio, which I had disassociated. I turned off the Amazfit Bip and tried again. I ended up having to reboot phone and watch once more, but now I am able to activate the phone function.
I can also respond to phone calls and it works well.
I hope this is helpful. You can try the above, and if it doesn't work, light a candle. I must say that Zepp is really inadequate for this watch. It was barely acceptable for the Bip, but falls far short for the complexity of the GTS 2.
What I really don't understand is that there was a Bluetooth connection, activated by QR code when I set up the phone, that allowed the watch to synchronise data with the phone, and which managed to send notifications, but was not functional for activating phone calls, unless a connection was made manually using the phone's Bluetooth settings.
Second method work for me. you need to tap pair on watch too at same time during pairing.
Start the Zepp app and go to "Profile > Amazfit GTS 2 > App settings". On the Phone page, turn on "Call on watch", then pair the watch and your phone through Bluetooth as instructed. Or you can try second mothed.
1. On your phone, go to Settings, then select "Bluetooth" to turn on the Bluetooth, and set the phone to be discoverable. On the watch, go to App list > Settings > Network and connections > Bluetooth. Ensure the Bluetooth is turned on.
2. Find the watch in the search results for available devices on your phone, and tap to pair them. Or, find your phone in the Bluetooth search results on the watch, and tap to pair the devices.
