Just received a new Amazfit Stratos.
Set up all fine and updated to latest firmware.
Not getting any caller contact info on calls and no SMS or Facebook messenger notifications though.
WhatsApp and emails seem to be working fine.
Is this a known issue. Phone is a pixel 2 on Android 8.1.
Any recommendations for extra apps to download and is there any way to separate music stored on the watch in albums instead of all together.
Thanks
Other users with Android 8.1 reported problems with callerid on watch, I am not sure with the other notifications (I don't have either Oreo or Stratos), but if all permissions are fine on phone and Amazfit app isn't being killed while on background then maybe it's an issue with Android. You can report issues or request features using this page if you have an International version of Pace or Stratos (A1612/A1619)
https://support.amazfit.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
No way to separate music in the builtin player, you can install a third party APK, I think BlackPlayer or something like this works well with the watch.
Have you enabled the apps you want to show notifications for in the Amazfit app's settings? It has a weird default list that includes some but not all apps, very confusing if coming from say a Pebble, which displayed all notifications by default

Hi there,
I'm quite new to the BIP and my focus in currently on the notification functionality. I have tools & amazfit running for handing notifications over to the BIP. However, I have observed some strange behaviour and need your assistance or at least info, whether you are experiencing the same:
1.) In some cases, whatsapp notifications are delivered multiple times to the BIP. This means, after notification A was delivered to the watch (and not read/deleted on the phone) and a second whatsapp message comes in, the watch does not get a notification on the new message content, but the one delivered before. It somehow seems that tools & amazfit does some wrong parsing of whatsapp notifications (when there are unread messages on the phone)
2.) The "Missed Notifications" feature doesnt work for me. Messages coming in during a connection-loss are not delivered to the watch after reconnect (checked this for text and whatsapp messages)
I did a fresh reinstall on mifit and tools&amazfit. All are exempted from battery saver. Did not solve above issues.
Phone OS is lineage 14.1 (7.1.2) / Samsung Galaxy St
BIP, Mifit and tools&amazfit are up-to-date.
Best regards, Ulrich

Hello,
I had the same problem with other apps, but not all (mainly Calendar)
This weekend i saw a new version with an extra option (per app setting) to not show double notifications.
And today i have had not one double notification, so that works.
Just open N&A app, click on the menu button (3 lines top left).
In the top, you will see something about a new update. Click on it to download and install.
Hey guys,
Anybody have caller id shown when receveing calls ?
My device is on Android 9 Pie and i have a Amazfit Stratos on latest firmware, but when i receive a call, it only displays the caller phone number and not the name.
I already tried lots of different apps and checked the permissions on the smartphone, but couldn't solve it.
Any help would be appreciated
It's a known issue due to permissions changes in Pie. You can try to add phone/contacts/favorites to the apps that show notifications on watch and/or install another app that manage calls like Contacts+ or Google Phone.

Yeah, tried to add all other apps that manage calls and contacts, but with no success. Right now i am using Google Phone app for calls, it's the default phone app.
I previously had Xiaomi Mi A1 and now Pocophone F1 and have the same issues, was going to start a thread myself today but saw this one.... Using the stock Xiaomi contacts app (which is the only app that doesnt seem to duplicate Duo/WhatsApp/Outlook contacts), but have tried others on the A1....
Hello
You have to delete blank space between the numbers in your contacts list....

Lovely new Amazfit GTR 42mm (International version) arrived from gearbest this week. I’m having serious issues getting it to simply receive notifications with the notification text (e.g first few lines of an sms / WhatsApp / email). Here’s what I’ve tried to resolve:
1) Phone has Amazfit app installed.
2) Bought “Tools & Amazfit” : doesn’t pair with GTR42 even with manual entry of Bluetooth address. Uninstalled.
3) Installed “Notify & Fitness for Amazfit”. Does pair with watch but not able to get it to show notifications with text. Uninstalled.
4) Installed “Tools & Mi Band”. Same issue as 3 above. Uninstalled.
With all above attempts, I’ve tried switching on notifications on both the 3rd party app and the Amazfit app, notifications on one app only...nothing seems to work. They are connecting but often the notification just says “message received, view on phone”.
Anyone else having same issues? Firmware on watch is: v0.0.9.26
Thanks, Nemov
I have managed to get SMS notifications to show text by only installing the Amazfit app (no 3rd party app installed), and restarting phone and watch, but I receive 2 notifications for the same SMS!...annoying. Tried turning on one or the other notification on/off toggles in the Amazfit app info section but that makes no difference.

I'm on the same 42mm international version. Same firmware version, and I'm not seeing that I'm afraid. Single notifications for most.
Same Amazfit app I presume. I connected it to the prev account I had for the BIP and all that came through fine.
Texts are fine, emails from gmail fine. I am getting two different notifications from outlook, but when I check on the phone for some reason there's two notification lines for each email on the phone so the watch is simply replicating that.
Same with me. I have GTR code name A1909 with firmware 0.0.9.26 (Only chinese UI, doesn't support UTF8 notifications).

Hmmm well at least I am not the only one! My GTR model is A1910, but firmware is the same as yours. I've just been living with it... I found that neither of the popular apps "Tools & Amazfit" or "Tools and MiBand" did anything to improve the notifications, in fact "Tools and Amazfit" doesn't even recognise the GTR, even if I manually enter the bluetooth MAC details. So both useless at the moment for me and a waste of £3 per app. Maybe they will update soon to speak with GTR properly.
Thanks @maxihod - glad to hear at least some are working fine! Makes no sense though. I was wondering if it has something to do with my phone (I have an Xperia XZ2 Compact) - it shouldn't make a difference but its the only variable I can think of.

Hi @nemov.. I'm on a Mate 10 pro. I also purchased the Tools and Amazfit app for my previous BIP that I had.
I notice that that app is only for use with the BIP, MiBand and Cor.. all of which use the Mi App rather than Amazfit App. When I re-installed that app it was then also asking me to re-install the Mi Band app as well, so I guess no support for the GTR in there just yet,
Hi, there. I changed my smartphone into new one with PIE operating system. Problem is that I can't get SMS notifications to my Amazfit Verge. With old smartphone with Marshmallow everything was fine. From some apps like sports apps I getting notifications about games starting, but from Amazfit app - I don't. Incoming calls I getting, others like Google Mail notifications, calendar's and ect. I did not tested yet. I checked in settings permissions, but in SMS there is no Amazfit app listed, in others sections like Contact, calls and ect., Amazfit is listed. When I activating in smartphone "do not disturb" mode - SMS notification I getting. But when this mode is deactivated - no. Strange problem. I don't know what to do, now is weekand so I can't ask about Amazfit or phone manufacturer about this problem. Why Amazfti app is not listed in SMS permission section? Any idea? Somebody have this problem too or can advise how to fix? SMS is one of important notifications for me, it's the same important as to get incoming calls. Thanks in advance for any help. By the way: Amazfit is already updated into newest version (if i'm not wrong 3.4.4) and Amazfit Verge is updated into newest version (if I remember right 3.2.5.0), smartphone operating system is updated too into newest version. I tried some things to do. But if say honest I couldn't find there is problem (I mean why in permission isn't Amazfit listed) and why SMS notification working only when is "do not disturb" activated. Thanks in advance any solution is welcome, but keep in my I need solution, even if someone have or had this problem.
Hello guys,
do you use some app for better notifications on Amazfit GTS? I tried 'Notify & Fitness for Amazfit', but it consumes to much battery on both phone and the watch....

I have the international version of the GTS. The Amazfit official app is horrible for notifications, it repeats notifications, if in whatsapp you get a lot of messages it sends the text, then the number of unread messages, text again, number of messages and so on. On the watch you get a complete mess. It doesn't support romanian characters or smileys, for unknown characters you get a question mark and smileys don't show up at all.
Notify&Fitness doesn't work for me, I've bought it but notifications don't get through. Manual tests in the app work ok, but it's not catching incoming notifications, I've provided all the permissions required, granted access to notifications, tried with or without amazfit app, nothing works. I have a Xiaomi Mi A2 with Android one. I keep it to push custom fonts or FW on the BIP
Amazfit tools works really well, notifications are pushed almost instantly, it supports transliteration and it replaces romanian characters with english version. User interface is intuitive and easier to configure. Sadly it has a huge bug in my opinion, it doesn't push complete notifications text. Longer notifications are truncated, it only shows one screen worth of text on the GTS, although in my tests both official Amazfit app and Notify&Fitness can push a lot longer text and you can scroll it on the watch. I've been using this app continuously for the past 2 years, first with the Amazfit BIP and now with the Amazfit GTS so I really can't comment on battery usage. In android battery management the app doesn't show as a big consumer, around 3% of the entire consumption throughout the day.
The GTS should be delivered today from Amazon and I will set up with Notify & Fitness / not Amazfit app. The N&F app looks good and want to avoid Amazfit app altogether.
Q: Did the Dec. 1 app update address your issues?

Global version (no NFC) received Sunday
The Notify & Fitness app is good. Here are my observations on N&F and Amazfit app.
1. N&F serves a a good alternative for the absurdly poor Amazfit app.
2. The Amazfit app's tiny font is a terrible choice when there is so much white, empty space available.
--- Feature request submitted to Amazfit - poorly written english auto-response returned.
3. N&F has too many features if that is possible. Hours of tweaking (no drugs) finally got it to a state of usability.
Q: Can someone please explain how syncing works? Does the N&F app sync from Amazfit app or from the GTS?
Q: Can I uninstall the Amazfit app?. There is conflicting info in different sections of N&F app.
FYI - I am not using N&F notifications or Amazfit notifications for that matter. I only want to use the Fitness features in N&F.
Thanks in advance. If I missed another thread with this information, let me know.

v0.0.8.07 is the version on this GTS.
It took me ~2.5 hours of troubleshooting Samsung Note9 bluetooth issues to get the firmware and library updated.
is it possible to reply to notifications? I don't own the GTS but I'm looking forward in buying it

Allegedly you can do Quick Reply (Replying with a preset of phrases) through the Notify and Fitness App, but i tested it, it's far from stable though.

I don't have issues, but I use AeX (https://myamazfit.ru/threads/aex-amazfit-extended-modifikacija-amazfit.1164/)
