Hi all!
I recently had to factory reset my Amazfit Stratos 3 watch and right now it is in the initial configuration wizard in which it only asks you for the language and then a QR code appears to connect it to the phone.
My stratos 3 has a "discoloration" or "defect" on the screen that makes the QR code incomplete, and therefore the Zepp app cannot read and connect to it using this code.
What could I do to be able to connect the watch to the phone again and be able to use it again?
Any ideas?
With this software https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...rebooter-apk-installer-mod-installer.3739828/ you can take a screenshot of you watch screen and just scan qr code directly from your monitor.

Well! I have to say that the sodtware didnt resolve the problem itself. BUT, it gave me the advise to solve it.
The software, either the installer or the no installer option say that it is not for use with Stratos 3 (my device); anyway it has a "generic device" and after running the aplication I could see that it connects to the watch. It could also reboot the watch an enter the fastboot option, but when trying the option "Take a Screenshot" (as advised by @ZduneX25 ) it throws the message: "Error trying to find screencap binary on your device".
Anyway it gave my the advise on how to solve it. Just run the adb command "adb exec-out screencap -p > screen.png" and I got a fabulous screen capture of the watch screen that allowed me to scan and connect it again with the Zepp App.
Thanks you very much. I can now continue to use my watch and, by the way I would continue to try the "TOOL ALL IN ONE" that seems to be curious.
Again thanks @ZduneX25 and @mauronofrio for the advise and the aplication, ;-)

I wonder if its possible to connect amazfit to multiple devices imagine i have my phone that is connect to amazfit at the moment but i would like to connect to my tablet to .
Is this possible ???
What Amazfit device are you talking about? The watch/Pace? Probably not, because the Amazfit Watch app requires reading a QR code for pairing, and it's not trivial to get it shown after it's already paired. But why would you like to do it? You can try and tell us, after you find out how to show the QR code after the match is paired. And if you explain why you'd want this, maybe there's something else you can do to communicate the watch to two devices...
no.
I have it connected to 2 phones.
If I remember right I just installed the Amazfit app on second phone and logged in with my account.

You sir are right. Thank you very much!
It can but you are a bit limited in options I think.
You can connect it to a phone and BT headset at the same time (Stratos at least). I haven't tried to connect it to many other devices because what's the use?

At work I have 2 phones with me all the time, my company issued and my personal phone. I want to get notifications on both of them on the smart watch.
Can you test please if it will work?

I don't have my Amazfit watch anymore, so can't test.
I'm using a Fitbit Ionic now, but miss my Amazfit sometimes..
Watchdroid app can be used for notifications, cant that be used on multiple devices?
in case you try to connect to android and iphone same time with amazfit app stratos watch you get a notification to uninstall in android first
To summarise:
1. You can connect two devices to the same phone, at least as long as they are different models. Here is a video with Pace and Stratos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBmSwKN058E
2. You cannot connect the same device to more than one phone. As a work around, you can try to use Amazfit app on one phone and WatchDroid on another (or WD on both, maybe it works). Be aware that it might decrease battery life.
Original question in thread again. Can you connect Amazfit Stratos to an android tablet or IPad instead of your phone? Why? Screen too small on phone for my eyesight.

If you can install and login to Amazfit Watch app, then you can (the tablet must have Bluetooth 4.1 - aka BLE - and a camera, of course, or you can use a workaround to transfer the watch to your account on the tablet).
**Let me start off by saying that I have not had a chance to verify but I do not have the error that NFC is not enabled anymore.**
Requirements -
1. Android Pay (Google Pay will not work on my watch although I read a post by someone who says it works on theirs)
2. Tasker installed on phone
3. Autowear Plugin to Tasker installed on phone and watch
4. A PC with adb installed
Step 1: Enable Developer Options on Watch
Step 2: Turn on ADB Debugging and Debug over WiFi
Step 3: Open command prompt or powershell in the folder where you have adb (hold shift and right click)
Step 4: In powershell, type adb connect 198.162.X.X:5555 (use the actual IP of your watch). Press Enter. The watch will prompt you to accept the connection. Select Always Allow.
Step 5: Type adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autowear android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. Press Enter. It may take a minute or two but if you don't receive an error, it worked.
Step 6: Open Tasker on your phone. Select Tasks. Hit the + sign in the bottom right. Select Plugin -> Autowear -> Secure Settings. When the new window opens, click the pencil next to Configuration. Set Command to Execute to &CONNECTED&. Click Custom Setting. Setting Type is Global, Name is <NFC>, Input type is Toggle, and Value is 1. Once all those are set, click the back arrow to get back to the AutoWear Secure Settings page. Click the checkmark at the top to save the settings.
Step 7: In powershell on the pc, type adb install com.google.android_apkmirror.com.apk. Press Enter. It should say Success once it finishes.
Step 8: On your phone, under the Task Edit screen (where you should be if you did not exit out from step 6) click the "Play" button on the bottom left. You should get a green dot next to the word configuration at the top.
Step 9: Open Android Pay on the watch. It will take you through the setup and tell you to finish on your phone. Once you finish adding a card, it should show up on the watch. "To pay with your watch, you need to turn on NFC" will show up and blink a couple of times then go away. It should show your card with "Hold to terminal.." above it.
This is something I threw together real quick to get the word out. Like I said in the beginning, I have not tried it at a terminal yet. As soon as I do, I will repost with results. Also in the near future, I will streamline the process, add a command to Tasker to keep NFC on always, and hopefully pay without opening the Android Pay app on the watch (Simply have the watch unlocked). I have attached the Android Pay apk below. If anyone tries this and uses the watch at a terminal, please post results.
I had a feeling a developer would find a way. I wonder why google pay isn't working for you and why Android pay says it needs NFC when it is already enabled. Have you tested to see if it does indeed enable it?

I am in no way a developer. Just trying some stuff out. I tried to Pay with the watch and it did not work. Hopefully someone with some knowledge and experience will see something here and guide us in the right direction to get this working.
That could mean one of two things, either the watch's NFC is not actually on or Android pay is not transmitting the signal.
This does not actually enable NFC. I tried paying with Google Pay and it did not detect anything. I don't think NFC can be enabled without root and adding some files that are missing.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
Verizon promised to add pay and turn NFC on I say we hold them to it as owners of their watch discontinued or not this is as advertised.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-209381/
Is it possible that kernel doesn't include NFC drivers? Kernel sources here contain the NFC drivers, but are they on the device?
Hi,
Added a tag to Title to avoid confusion.
I really appreciate the kind of topics you post here. Thanks for sharing information that is actually helpful. Good day!
Not working for me so far. I'm going to try it again at a McDonalds kiosk, but I found something of relevance...
It appears no NFC service is registered on my Wear24, so if there's no service to call... there should be no way to enable NFC. Note that I'm on AW 2.15
Log proving no service exists: https://textuploader.com/dvc7s
The only way to fix this is with a whole new ROM update, be it by the community or Verizon.
Anything going on?
Now that we have got the new wearOS 2.0 and nothing from Verizon coukd we pretty much say that the odds of getting Google Pay working on this watch are almost none?
Hello everyone,
I've got an 'error: This device cannot start (Code 10) after manually installing Android ADB Device driver within Window's Device Manager. Android ADB Device is displayed with a yellow exclamation mark. This results in a blank answer after 'adb devices'. In other words: my laptop cannot connect to my watch and thereby I can't install Watch Droid Assistant on my watch.
I really need this app because of it's notification history feature, even after opening the notification (just like the amazfit Bip has)!
And secondly because of the possibility of increasing the font size.
Does anyone know the cause & the solution?
Thanks in advance!
Robert.
P.S. While being a newbie on 'tweaking' the Amazfit Stratos, I've some additional questions:
1. Will installing Watch Droid Assistant void warranty (unlocking the bootloader?)?
2. Are there risks of bricking my Amazfit Stratos (how high?)?
3. Is it (after installling WDA) possible to install additional apps such as a calculator or calendar etc. ? Or do I need Applist?
Used hardware, software and versions:
Watch Droid Assistant (27.03.2018 - version 6.1)
Amazfit Stratos (US version, FW: 2.3.4.0)
Windows 7 Home Premium (SP1 64-bit)
I've used "15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.exe" from XDA website (ADB: yes, system-wide: no, device drivers: yes).
1. Installing WD won't void anything, as with any other APK. Unlocking bootloader will void watch's warranty as soon as you enter the code to unlock it.
2. Almost zero, unless you are very unlucky. Uninstall or a factory reset will remove any apps from watch.
3. You can add other apps, but be aware that the watch has only 512MB of RAM so you don't want to install anything that runs in the background, slowing it down.
As for the drivers, if removing the device and/or forcing a driver refresh doesn't work, you may need to disable driver signature on Win 64-bits (bcdedit /set TESTSIGNNING OFF), something like this:

theres an app for receiving messages and theres a thread in this forum about it. look for notifications for amazfit (with a red icon) on the google play store. its nice and simple, allows you to change text size and all. and its very cheap.
last watch and app updates kind of messed it up a little but the devs seem to be very caring and may be already looking for solutions. all in all, its usable now.
Thank lfom

watch droid assistant?
thanks
I had a problem with my usb connection on my Pace. Turns out the two pins for the usb connection were corroded. But I managed to install apks (especially Watch Droid assistant), through wifi and ADB commands.
Again, this has been done on an Amazfit Pace, through ADB commands on Linux, specifically on Kubuntu 18.04. I don't have the Stratos, so I don't know if this applies to that watch.
1. Go to Settings - Connection - WiFi and connect to your WiFi network. Now this is important. In order to maintain connection, you have to be in the WiFi tab AND keep the screen on at all times, until you finish the installation (look for an app called Pace-On, for later installations).
2. Find your watch's IP. I did that by looking on my router's connected devices.
3. Open terminal (or CMD) and type adb connect and put your watch's IP. Example:
adb connect 192.168.0.15
4. Type adb devices, to make sure and verify that your device is connected.
5. Type adb install /path/to/apk/application.apk
(Where /path/to/apk/application.apk is the path you downloaded or placed your app) If you get an error or failure of installation (it usually happens when you have an older version of the same app) try to type
adb install -r /path/to/apk/application.apk
Another way is to manually delete the old version app and install the new one. You'll figure it out.
6. Wait for it to finish. When it does, see if the app is installed on your watch. You don't (usually) have to restart the watch, but if you feel that there is a need to do so, then do so.
That's it! Hope it helps.
Heya all,
At some point, our watch gets disconnected or reconnected, or... just won't connect to the app.
Then we're trying to remove the app, reinstall the app, talk to the app, ask the watch to connect, trying to talk some sense into it... but no.
At some point, we're removing the app, and removing the watch from the app, and then it gets reset or getting stuck without any connection to the smartphone.
With this thingie, you'll be able to connect your watch to the PC and simply run it.
Few Nexts, and after some 15 to 30 seconds, you'll get a QR for pairing back to your smartphone.
Applicable only for the following models:
PACE
Verge
Stratos
Stratos 3
does not work on GTR/GTS/Verge lite/Bip/Cat/Goat.
download link:

If you have ADB installed and confugired, you can just type the following:
HTML:
adb shell am start -n com.huami.watch.setupwizard/.InitPairQRActivity

Great stuff. What a coincidence, I just needed this today
Worked fine with my Amazfit Verge, thanks for share.
Hi everyone.
I have been using Bip for the last year, loved it, but missed few exercise tracking options, so after viewing few reviews I got the Stratos 3 in my hands. My first surprise was it does not use the mi fit app. So after pairing with the amazfit app I noticed quite quickly in comparison to Bip it missed basic functions like: smart dnd (turn on watch dnd when it detects you're asleep) off or scheduled is available only, unlock screen - let's you unlock your screen with your watch.
Finding phone via watch feels primitive, you cannot cancel the phone ringing from the watch, you have to basically pick up the phone and turn off the alarm directly.
These are the issues that popped out first in my head. I thought paying more would get me additional features, not trading in for nice daily tools... I wonder if I am the only one who's missing the smart unlock feature, that let's you unlock the phone with connected via Bluetooth device. Tried to add it manually from the Bluetooth list, but got error saying to make sure that watch is close enough... What pisses me is that Bluetooth transmitter that costed like 2$ is proposed to be added as "trusted device". The whole app and watch UI feels like a this is an alpha version. End of my rant, if you can point me in the right direction, please do so I'm all ears. Thank you. BTW, I'm missing the unlocking feature most, as I am on galaxy s8, with weak finger print sensor.

For Stratos/Stratos 2 there is an unlock option. That should be available for Stratos 3 too.
Go to Amazfit app, Profile, Amazfit Stratos (select your watch), Unlock screen...

The Amazfit app verison is 3.7.0-play, maybe I am missing something?

No the option is clearly missing... Try the latest version (there is a new version 4 out). I assume that if it is disabled, a small hack of the app could enable it.

was able to update the app to 4.0.0, the option did not appear... nothing changed in that matter, do you have any hints so I could try to enable it?
Well I got response from the support:
Thank you for contacting Amazfit Customer Support. We apologize if the product caused you any inconvenience!
Unfortunately, the option you metioned is not supported for Stratos 3.
