Amazfit bip turns phone Bluetooth off when out of range - Amazfit

I'm having a problem with the amazfit bip where if the watch goes out of range the phone's Bluetooth turns off. I'm pretty sure it's the watch and/or app because I uninstalled the app for a whole week and it didn't happen. Does anyone know the fix?

Then it's not the watch but MiFit app, right? What version are you using? Did you try to install an older version? I think APKMirror has older versions available, and it's safe to download apps from.

I'm using the one straight out of the play store. And one had that version up to date. Is the older version better? I had this problem since I got the watch 2 months ago

Hi,
Yes, I confirm, MiFit app toggles the Bluetooth off/on each minute as soon as the Bip Watch goes out of range… Sometimes, the MiFit app is not able to reconnect automatically to the Watch and I'm obliged to stop/start the app and even in the worst cases reboot the smartphone…
This is also a smartphone battery drainer when the Watch is out of range.
No solution found so far… I'm very interested by a fix!
I appreciate the combination of the MiFit app nice interface + "Tools & Amazfit" useful features compared to "Notify & Fitness" or "Gadgetbridge" apps.
But this Bluetooth problem is embarassing.

Downloaded Watch Face is not showing up on Android Wear

Ever since I got the most software update earlier July 2017 on my Zenwatch 2, my Zenwatch 2's battery is horrible, it barely last 10 hours with a little usage with brightness set to lowest. I did factory reset hope to fix the issue, after I did factory reset I was trying to download my watch face back to my watch, I noticed it is not showing up at all so I try download any other watch faces and none of it are showing on the Android Wear app. Currently I am stuck using only stock watch faces. Anyone else having similar issue?
You have to add the custom watch faces in face designer on the watch. Swipe left and tap add more watch faces at the right hand end of the list of watch faces. You need to also have the custom watch face app or apps installed on both your phone and watch.
You will need to go into your play store on the watch and add the custom face apps to the watch. You should see any app that is on your phone and which has a complimentary watch app in the list at the bottom of the scroll called apps on your phone.

I did do that, before the new update any watch faces I download show up in the Android Wear app, right now none of the custom watch faces I download are showing in Android Wear.
They won't. It works a bit different now. You have to use the app that comes with each one to manage them and then add them to your watch as I detailed.

I noticed only the watch faces I download directly from the Watch's Play store showed up on my watch and my Android Wear app, but any watch faces I download from Play store on my phone is not showing up on neither my watch or Android Wear, so base on what I found out is that if any of my previous purchase of watch faces didn't found on the app store on my watch that basically mean it is not supported in the latest version of Android Wear.
That could bead well. Just like anything the app developer has to update his or her app to work with aw 2.0

You must go on the "PlayStore" app on YOUR watch and look at the section "app from phone" to install faces/apps wich is yet on your phone. With Wear 2, phone faces/apps are not automatically installed on the watch. Users must install all or only the one they want.

If that the case then I will say I HATE this update, it used to be so easier if I want to download watch face on my watch I can download on my phone Play Store then it will automatically add to my watch. Also I quite sure new update rendered my Zenwatch's battery unusable, my battery drop 100% to 5% within 10 hours, I used to get to able through almost 2 full days without charging it.
Have you performed a factory reset on the watch?

Yes, twin already. Didn't helped for now I am force to turned off ambient mode and set brightness to lowest just get watch with usable battery life again though still no luck getting back the watch face "LED Time" I purchased download to my watch. I am currently addressing this issue to the developer who made that face watch so hopefully that issue can be fixed from the developer who design the watch face. I am extremely irritated with new update that screw up my watch. By the way trying find watch face on my watch by typing in name with small tiny screen was fun! (sarcasm). I wish someone would make those developers who released the latest Android Wear update to type on their Smartwatch with their life depend on it.
Turn off automatic wifi as that uses lots of power and likely you did not have that turned on with 1.5
My battery life was pretty bad for a few days after the update, but once I let it run down completely and die, then charge to 100% it was back to normal.

I hope that is the case, I charge my watch to 100% took it off the charger around 1pm by 11pm my battery life down to 5%. Since I turn ambient mode off battery seen to getting better even though I previously had ambient turn on the entire time before the update and my watch managed to last almost 2 full days.

Actually I did have my wifi turn on as well as ambient turn on before 2.0 update. that was my setting and it lasts me almost 2 days. I don't use my watch to make call or send text message, I mainly use it just to check a few notification though out the day and obviously to tell time so I don't have heavy usage on it.
The latest update to the Android Wear app on your phone.should allow watch face modding and changes once again from the app.

[Amazfit Bip] Watch Face Settings not showing anything in the Mi Fit app

So, I just received my watch today and I was excited to set it up, but one thing didn't work. The Watch Face Settings inside the Mi Fit app doesn't seem to do anything in the sense that when I try to access it, there is a blue line showing something is loading, but then I am greeted with a blank page.
It need active internet connection to load the watchfaces.
Check your phone Internet connection.

I have the same problem
I've been having the same issue since I bought the watch. It's pretty frustrating, since I am not a big fan of the stock watch faces. I've already tried clearing the data of the app and setting up the watch from scratch.

Did it help? Yesterday I restored my watch and mifit app to factory settings but this did not help
hello , to all
to use Watch Face Settings you can try to use some VPN software to change location to Hong Kong for example...
- sometimes here are problems with connecting to amazfit server from non-china locations((
I tried using HonkKong server using Turbo VPN(android app), doesn't seem to be working. If it works for anyone do let us know
Can't check it now... I have this problem earlier.
Now watch face settings is working (Mifit 3.2.3.1 LolexMod, Bip FW v0.1.0.43)
I try to use Honk kong VPN
And.. The same problem, i cant see watch faces... My version is 3.2.7.2
Same problem. Installed a new watch face through the application notify & fitness for amazfit
Fixed
I managed to fix the error by connecting the Bluetooth clock and being connected, erase the cache and that's it.
I hope it will be helpful.:good:

This doesnt work. It seems something is broken on the page that gives all the list of watch faces. I have another app for custom watch faces which shared a message about something on similar lines.
Solution
I had the same issue, "Local watch faces" is not showing anything, but they seem to be loaded under "Online watch faces". So download a new watch face, for example with "Amazfit Bip & Cor WatchFaces" app, remember the watch face your are substituting. Then go to "Online watch faces", choose the watch face you have substituted (which will still show the original image, not the new watch face!!!) and there you go, your chosen watch face will be loaded to the watch, not the original one.
Quiet confusion really, took me a while to realize this.
Solved blank watch face settings for Amazfit cor
Hello,
I deleted all watch faces downloaded for my amazfit cor. I reinforced to close my Mi app.
I reopened Mi app and reopened Watch Face Settings. It worked again to me.
Hopefully it helps you guys with the same issues as mine.

I recently bought amazfit watch pace with bluetooth and GPS functions. I carefully read teh description before and it said that it is compatible with my iOS iPhone device.

So I cant change any units, I cant get my activities, Cant get them to Strava. Generaly I cant do anything with the watch within outside the watch itself.
Whats more important that means I can't get an update - im gettin error otowatch has stopped working, so im goin on pure basic 1.3.

Both your app and ROM are way too old (Amazfit 2.3.0 and ROM 1.3.6d as of now)... Probably it's causing the problem due to changes in the data or cloud syncing parameters. You can try to unpair the watch, reset Amazfit app data (or uninstall then install again) and choose NO when it asks if you want to download old data from the cloud, this way you should start with fresh data on watch. But probably it's good idea to update...
PS: unpairing the watch will reset it and erase all data on it.

How to disable online data sync ?

Hi, I don't want send any data to MI. I don't need all this online stuff. Is there a way to disable the data sync complete ?? Or is there a way to use the watch without the Amazfit app ?
Thx,
Harvey
Simply put the watch in Airplane mode after pairing... But no notifications either.
Instead of using the official MI fit app use gadgetbridge from FDroid.

The problem is that you cannot disable bluetooth and still have notifications. Data sync also is done via Bluetooth. You can uninstall/logout from Amazfit app and use another app for notifications, like Better Amazfit Notifications or WatchDroid, but I don't know the consequences at long time, since the watch won't be able to send data out (it stores around 7 days of data IIRIC), and this may even cause high battery drain...

Or maybe first disconnect from the MI fit app.

No chance. With stratos the original amazfit has to run in background, but now I have installed watch droid which has better notifications and I don't need to start the amazfit app. So no sync. The bad thing is, that now I get no weather forecast

Stratos stopped to sync with Amazfit app

Hi, I own this watch for 2 weeks now and everything was working fine until the day before yesterday, I opened Amazfit app w/o Internet connection (was not aware at the time, automatic task) so I was kicked out from app and been asked to relogin, cool I did so and then my data been wiped: no steps, no sleep, no HR, weight was all that left (and the only thing that is still working).
So I tried to reboot both watch and phone (Xiaomi Mi6), no luck, also tried to let it be and see the other day, no luck, now it is 3rd day when I am keep seeing no data is going through.
I tried to force manual sync on the watch in Settings that went just fine with successful message after 100%, in the end I unpaired watch (factory reset), still no luck.
Someone told me me to try N&F app and it does read all the data, so how come official app does not, any ideas?
BTW: from time to time Amazfit app shows me that there is not connected devices and when I go to my profile under Amazfit Stratos it shows "Not activated". I activate it every time it says not activated, but it changes nothing about data.
Hello bro, got same problem, Amazfit app stopped syncing activities for few days now. However it's syncings steps properly. Can't work it out, hope someone will help us.
hello, sometimes this happens when there are problems with servers from Xiaomi. That is why there are problems with synchronization and downloading weather data. Usually it lasts from several hours to several days, it is not a continuous problem, There are also problems logging in to the Xiaomi account. I recommend patience and wait a few days.

I hope so, but when servers are down or something is wrong with them it should not work for everyone and not just one person I believe.
I am worried because I have been using huami bands for years now and nothing like this has happened in the past (in MiFit app).
It's been a week now, is official app really that bad? On day 1, 2 and 3 I was able to force sync watch from it's settings (of course I was getting nothing in app anyway), then I could not even manually sync it to amazfit servers.
All this time I'm also using Notify & Fitness for Amazfit to store my data (which works fine)..
Same here... when synchronization works, then Strava upload doesnt work. Now Strava work, but synchro with app doesnt. xD
Waiting for Xiaomi respond.
Hi, same problem for me on iOS 13.2 with the last amazfit app 3.4.5

Same issue for me, on 25th October all activity information on the Amazfit App has stopped being shown. A few days later the same is also true with the step graphics information. I'm running iOS 13.2.2 and the Amazfit App 3.4.5. What is weird is that the information is being sent to Strava and also being held by Apple Health. Just nothing is being shown on the Amazfit iOS App. Sleep, heart rate are all working OK, it is just that I have not record of steps taken over the day when you click on the Walking Man icon (which takes you to the Steps screen) or any activities logged such as running or walking. Up until now I have been very impressed with the Stratos watch and the APP. Does anyone have a recommended fix yet? Watch has the latest firmware installed. Thx

Hi,
in fact, i resolve my problem alone (thanks amazfit support :mad : )
Before all, i backup all my watch (with AmazeBKP_v1.2)
IMPORTANT, put the watch in airplane if you don't want loosing all your sport activity into the watch.
i'll explain what i do:
1. put the watch in airplane
2. try to see if the watch is connected to amazfit app, normally no, because it is in airplane.
3. if you don"t see the watch, go to amazfit app, and remove the watch from your account.
4. log off from amazfit app
5. Remove the app
6. reinstall the app !
7. logon with your account
8. add the watch ! ... now, for adding a watch to amazfit you need a QR Code... but, if you want a QR Code, you need to reset your watch ! nooooooooooooooooo !!!!!
open a cmd, go in a folder where there are adb (personnally i use adb from amazeBKP), and type: adb shell am start -n com.huami.watch.setupwizard/.InitPairQRActivity
9. the watch QR code appear, you can add it in your amazfit account.
10. force synchronize data from the watch (need wifi)
11. wait a few minute
With this step my amazfit app work again, and i retreive my 179 Sport session ! OUF !!!
For your information if you don't put the watch in airplane first, when you will remove the watch from your account, the watch will be reset automatically and you loose all !!!
Regards

From today for me, sync working too.
In my case I cannot sync sport activities without doing a manual upload first. Amazfit app stays at 10% for more than a minute and then the message disappears.
Anyone else had this problem?

3 weeks for me and still counting... I have this watch for 4 weeks, so it does not work 90% of the time.
Yesterday after unpair/pair and removing the app worked for a while and workout form yesterday was sync ok, but today again nothing happens...

Go in sync menu from watch then manual sync.

The bad news is Ultra Mode doesn't have manual sync, so if you use it and there is a workout not syncing, you lose it.
