Hi, I've found quite a few of the Amazefit family of watches have apps on the android store to allow the button to be double or triple clicked to play music, skip tracks etc. Has anyone found a way to do this on the Bip u or Bip U pro, as the apps don't seem to support this model, and after searching the net I've not found anything? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this.

Hello, have you found any updates? I used to use my original Bip, but now i have run to the same problem.
I have found out, that you can use alternative way, to make shortcuts. You can you the Notify for amazfit app, which lets you to run actions, but with sliding back and forth from music selection. (it is not easy to describe). But I would still prefer the old method.

I really hope I'm in the right place... Anyways, how do you install apps on the Amazfit Bip? I've been trying for a while now. I've figured out how to do watchfaces from the Play Store, but I can't figure out how to do the apps. I need help very soon!

P.S. I'm new to XDA so please don't be mean
Hello and welcome. But you cannot install apps on Bip, it uses a proprietary ROM/firmware. AFAIK you can only add custom watchfaces if you use Android on your phone so far.
Hi there,
It is almost impossible to find some stuff about Bip S. I have just bought one a week ago and trying to make it more useful. First of all, it is said that the watch comes with 10 different activity options. I just got 6. Later I found out that there is this OTA update which I didn't get it. Because my watch is updated to the latest version and still got 6 options. If anyone knows about it please let me know.
I 've got some other issues I would like to mention all. The second issue is the lack of watch faces and inability of using creators because I guess there is no one for Bip S yet. One that exists for Bip gives an error for most of the work.
Finally, I was trying to use amaztool which is a good app. I didn't get ''the custom trigger'' section though. Anyone knows how to use this and what is this ''url'' part about in it?
Thanks in advance for the responses.
Waiting for OTA update also.

These are really nice and they are working if I change them via Notify & fitness app manually. Unfortunately, Notify & fitness cannot sync my workouts at the moment...
Hi all,
I have got an Amazfit Bip S, and I would like to connect it to Gadgetbridge. However, it does not work because I cannot find a working authentification key. I tried sqlite3 and the modded Amazfit app from freeyourgadget.com. I am grateful for any suggestions. Here is what I have tried so far:
I tried the sqlite3-method with a rooted phone running Android 7. I followed the procedure as described in the Huami-Server-Paring description on github. However, it seems the phone has no sqlite3-package, and I could not push one to /system/xbin because I had no writing permission. I copied the origin_db_* to /sdcard/ and pushed the sqlite3-package from my laptop to the same directory. It did not work either, sqlite3 gave me back it could not find a line with DEVICE.
The modded Amazfit-app produced a file, which read [MAC-address];[32-character alphanumeric sequence]. I tried the 32-character alphanumeric sequence as authentification key in the Gadgetbridge-app, but it did not work. For all I know, the authentification key should have 16 characters.
I am grateful for any suggestions!
Taken from the gadgetbridge guide did you do this when entering your key:
IMPORTANT: Enter your key prefixed with 0x ( eg. if your key is fedcba01234567890fedcba012345678 enter 0xfedcba01234567890fedcba012345678)

Thank you for helping stupid across the street! I was so stuck in other problems that I actually forgot this. Embarassing... Now it works with the 32-character key the modded Amazfit-app produced. Thx!
Your welcome. I missed this too so that's why i thought i would ask :laugh:
Finally. Sportsmodes with update
Sorry Im new here, i have a Amazfit Bip S and i love it so far but one thing that bothers me is the generic app icon when notification is received. Any workaround

The code name of the device is already known - DongTingHu may be Bip2, Global version is A1806 not Bip S A1821 which code name is Tonlesap.
What is the best app to use on Android for the Amazfit Bip S please?

I only know the official Amazfit app and the Gadgetbridge app (apart from watch face apps). The Gadgetbridge app is for those who are sensitive about their personal data. The official Amazfit app has some functionality advantages.
For instance, the Gadgetbridge cannot share the phone's GPS signal with the watch — other than the Amazfit app. That is a bit of a problem because it takes the watch a few minutes to find the GPS signals after you started the sports tracker. Distance and speed measuring only starts after the watch has found the signals; time count, however, starts before. That distorts average speed.
Also, retrieving the watch key for the Gadgetbridge app is a bit tricky.

"Amazfit BIP 1S" is written on the watch box. When I connect my watch to the Amazfit app I choose Bip s / bip lite s. And my watch has GPS as well. So, I think it is Bip lite s

I'm sorry, but GTR doesn't have that function. At least, the global version.
hi everyone!
maybe somebody know if and where i can get and download for amazfit gtr 2 - the calculator and the calendar apps?
its very important for me.
many thanks in advance!
hello, somebody?
You cannot, this watch has no internal memory, you will install nothing on it.
hi,
many thanks for the reply...
and if i will buy watch of huawei - i will can install?
if i don't have mistake - the watches of samsung its enbale to install, corret?
many thanks.
how i can know before i buying - if the watch have internal memory and know that i will can install another apps?? its very important for me.
thanks again.
Huawei does not support custom apps as well, however the newest one is about to support this feature. I do not know about Samsung, new ones sure as they started to collaborate with Google and use WearOS, as for Amazfit there is 5 models that will let you to install apps: Pace, Verge, Nexo, Stratos, Stratos 3.
The only way to know for sure is to watch reviews on YouTube or test yourself in the mall (I have MiStore in my city mall).
I love my new Amazfit GTR 3 Pro except for a few things.
I can't find a timer feature. There is a count down setting but it doesn't alarm at the end of the countdown. I used my old Versa as a timer all the time. Had anyone found a timer setting?
The watch calendar won't sync with (get data from) my Google calendar on my phone. Has anyone been able to pull data from their Android phone's Google calendar into the watch? I saw a review from GSMArena that stated they did this.
There doesn't seem to be a way to change notification or alarm tones. Unless I missed a setting some where.
I also noticed it is quite picky about song file formats. It won't recognize some some that I have ripped.
I am also a GTR 3 Pro owner and have the same problem with the calendar sync. I have tried everything but it just won't sync. The count down timer however sounds and vibrates if you turn on "notification sound" in the sound and vibration setting in the Zepp app. I don't think you can change notification and alarm tones. Waiting for the Notify for Amazfit & Zepp app to be compatible with GTR 3. It has a ton of extra options.

Well, I guess my countdown is broken. I have the notificaton sound and vibrate setup already. I don't get an alarm or vibration when the countdown is done and sometimes the countdown will stop a 1 second and not finish. I have to use the alarm function and create an alarm with the amount of time that I need.
I've rebooted the watch but that didn't fix my countdown issue.
That doesn't sound good. If a factory reset doesn't fix the problem then a return is your only option I guess. Good luck!
Hi, guys. I'm currently staying in China and bought GTR 3 Pro. I chose China as a region in Zepp app as well. To my big surprise the watch is fully Chinese lang. I couldn't find any option to switch over to Eng neither in Zepp nor in watch settings. Any workaround?

In the Zepp app under watchsettings you have "system language". Here you can change the watch language.

There is no such option, mate. I know it should be and where to find - nothing in there, nor in watch itself.
When I set up my watch I didn't have an option to set up region. I could choose between a bunch of languages and I chose “follow phone language (Swedish). Since the watch doesn't support Swedish it automatically chose English. Didn't you have that option during setup?

I set up a region while registering in the Zepp app. When was setting up the watch itself I didn't have any requests to follow device's lang or anything lang changing related. I contacted a customer support, they said it's a domestic version and it can't be set into any other lang but Chinese. Which is weird.
What a bummer! Can you return it?

Yeah, have already applied for it. Here in China when you buy something there is a rule of 7 days no reason return. Amazfit representatives told me that I need to order it from Amazon haha

Amazfit Zepp app doesn't show watch faces in the store, and Alexa doesn't work on my new GTR 3Pro unless my phone is connected to an external WiFi network! Everything was fine with my Amazfit GTS 2 watch! 4g and 5g is receiving data just fine as always! Any thoughts?
Question about BT connection on GTR3
Hi at all,
I bought this smartwatch and I configured it using Poco X3 NFC and Zepp app.
In Bluetooth I see 2 device:
Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and Amaxfit GTR 3 Pro-2E08
Why so? Do you have this double BT connection too?
the trouble is that when I turn on the BT only the first automatically connect to app, for the other (2E08) I've to connect manually.
thanks in advance
Hi guys,
I can't find display blockade in GTR3Pro like in GTR2?
Is this option available in new model of amazfit?

First bluetooth is to connected the watch to the phone (zepp) and the second one is to connect the watch to answer to the calls. You can accept the first only or both of them.
I've got the answer from support team:
"Thank you for contacting Amazfit/Zepp!
The screen lock function is not supported on GTR 3 Pro for now. Sorry about that!
We appreciate your feedback and thoughts. Your email will be shared with the team as we look for ways to improve our product and the user experience.
And we have a list of the features in development and the priorities we aim to achieve with each step of the development process, and so we will continue to gradually offer updates as soon as we can. Hopefully, we can make this available in future updates, but no firm dates have been set yet. Please stay tuned."
So we have to wait for new updates
I'm in shock how fast support works
"We have released new firmware today, which adds the screen lock function. please update your watch to the latest version. And you can add it : settings>preference>control center>+>screen lock"

Thanks,
The problem is that when I connect the Gtr, the BT for answer to the calls, do not connect automatically, and I've do this manually.
Is it normal or it's a bug?

I don't use anymore the Bt answer, is very energy intensive. But the few days i used it, the second bluetooth connection was automatic for me.
