Has anyone figured out how to get the watch to recognize these as a HRM yet? on the pairing list it shows up as a SMART senor but only gets paired as a headphone... any help?

If you get it paired as headphone, you probably used the bluetooth menu in the global settings.
Use the accessories menu in the activity

Your right this is a common mistake that's made however I did try in the accessories menu and it still wants to pair as a headphone.
Do you have this setup? Have you had any success with this?
No I don't, just pointing out the "ususal mistake".
Probably the developers didn't think that there are devices out there that can have more then one device definition.
Did you email support ?
Any response from Amazfit support regarding your HRM earpiece ?
can you pair them to your phone? does it pairs as one or two devices ?

Hi all. Has anyone tried to pair with a car?
I'm trying to pair with a Kia Sorento. It's looks like it pairs OK and then shows connected but the car doesn't acknowledge that it is connected.
I'll continue to test but wanted to know if anyone else had success. I'll try with other bluetooth devices as well. Please post your experiences with Bluetooth.
Thanks for the ROM update and thanks for your responses.
Well, I've successfully paired and used several different bluetooth devices. Didn't think I had this many:
- bluetooth mouse
- bluetooth keyboard with built-in trackpad
- OBD II reader
- Music headset
I have a phone headset and my car. It looks like both of these pair but don't connect properly. The headset is for phone profile only. After pairing, clicking on it does nothing. Doesn't even try to pair. For my car, it pairs and I'm able to enter the pass-phrase/key but then it doesn't connect.
It looks like there is an issue connecting to devices that use the phone profile. When looking at the settings for the paired items, there is a profile for phone audio. It has a checkbox which is not checked and is disabled...cannot check it.
I'll post screen captures when I get a chance.
Thank you
It looks like the HFP (hands free protocol) is needed for using a headset on a mobile phone as in the case of a earpiece or to use a car as a hands free for a mobile phone as well.
It looks like Blues does not support HFP. There is mention of an oFono project that works with Blues to support HFP but no mention of Android support. I also found some mention of Blues adding that support. Maybe it's available and needs to be configured. Didn't dig too far into it and I'm not that familiar with these technologies.
Hopefully, one of the devs can follow up on this or another group has done it or figured out how to do it.
I'll keep looking and will post if/when I find anything.
FYI, Bluez just released a new version April 12th.
I found some configuration files in /system/etc/Bluetooth
The audio.conf file has several settings referring to headset and hfp. I tried some variations but no luck. Good news is that it looks like Bluez supports headset and hfp out of the box/built-in.
More testing needed.
I also read that after changing settings you will have to unpair and repair your device to pick up the change.
I wonder what the stock files have?
It looks like, ideally, there are other profiles that should be there to have a good experience. PBAP, phone book access protocol, is needed for transferring contacts, for example.
it fix on next release, but have reboot afte call =(

So my reboot after a call is related to bluetooth headset. Right?
Any ideas about overcoming this?
Hi guys, I wonder if I could get an answer to something that I can't seem to figure out.
I currently have an HTC One M8, which when I get into my car, automatically pairs to the car's Bluetooth system & allows me to use voice control to dial, and also play music through the car stereo (also via Bluetooth).
What I can't figure out, is if I were to buy a smartwatch (The LG is what i'm looking at), then I assume that the watch connects to the phone using Bluetooth? If that is the case, then what happens, if my phone & watch are currently paired together when I get into my car?
I'm under the impression that Bluetooth only was between 2 devices? If so, would I need to manually disconnect the phone from the watch and then manually connect it to the car? Or would the phone automatically drop the watch connection when it saw the in-car connection available? Or can the phone somehow remain connected to both Bluetooth devices at the same time?
I can't be the only person that might have in-car Bluetooth that's also thinking about/already owns a smartwatch?
Maybe I'm just over-thinking it?
Thanks in advance for any information.

I have the Omate Truesmart. I keep it paired to my Note3, and also use LG Tone bt headphones or with my car radio JVC Kameleon. The difference is when you click on the settings icon for the connected device in the BT menu on the phone. It will list the headphones/car radio as phone and media audio and allows me to play music through them or use as bluetooth connection for calls, and skip tracks and play pause. For the watch it lists the connection type as internet use, and I can use the watch to view and skip tracks, view/answer/dismiss calls, reply to notifications. I am guessing the android wear devices will probably work the same way.

Many thanks for the reply.
So, for all intents & purposes, I can, in real terms, keep the phone connected to both the watch & the in-car audio at the same time?

Thanks very much for your responses guys. I ended up ordering the Samsung instead of the LG in the end (Which is odd, as I dislike their phones).
I have a Galaxy Gear and keep it connected to my phone all the time as well as my LG Tone+ , I haven't experienced any issues with the two. I'm assuming that the Android Wear stuff will work similarly if not better.
Good question

Hello XDA-Devs,
i bought a brand new Amazfit Pace (International) and updated firmware to latest stock. Setup was quite fine and watch paired with my Phone (Redmi Note 3 Pro) and Amazfit Watch App without any problems. I was also able to connect via MTP from Windows 10 PC and store some music on the watch.
Now i tried to connect my bluetooth headset (Bluetooth Bragi Dash Headphone) without any success. I put the Bragi Dash Headphone into pairing mode and in wacht BT menu it opens BT overview with blinking "Searching" indicator. After a while the blinking "Searching" indicator disappears and thats it. The Headphone does not show up. I also tried with a Bluetooth speaker with same result. Both, the Bragi Headphone and the bluetooth-speaker are working without any issues with my Phone, Windows tablets and other devices.
Any clue or same issue? Actually i like the design of the watch, but possibility to pair a bluetooth headset was a buying decision for me ..
thx and br

1. Make sure the BT devices aren't paired with any other devices before trying to pair with watch;
2. If BT on watch is working fine, you should stay connect if you go away from your phone about 10m (without barriers), if connection drops 30-50cm from phone then maybe you have a problem with the watch's BT (weak connection due to bad antennae or BT chip);
3. Put phone and any other device around in Airplane mode (or switch other BT devices off), do the same to watch, then enable only BT and try to pair again. There are some known cases of WiFi/BT interference.
If everything fails, maybe the phone/speaker simply aren't compatible if they pair with other devices. Watch should be able to list other BT devices nearby, if the list is always empty, looks like BT is damaged. Try an unpair (reset) and pair again with another phone and/or account on Amazfit app. Good luck.
Hello lfom, thanks for fast reply. I did a factory reset and it still does not work with my Bragi Headphone (150€) (https://support.bragi.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000132569-The-Headphone-Technical-Specifications)
But one good news, i tried with a very cheap bluedio BT-Headset (9€) and surprisingly this headset i could directly connect to my Amazfit Pace watch and works fine...
... so it seems there is some general incompatibility... maybe related to BT 4.0 A2DP version. As you see here http://www.phonemore.com/xiaomi-amazfit/specs/3497 the Amazfit Pace should support BT 4.0 A2DP. I assume the Bragi Headphone does handle the protocolls correctly (had never any issues with them) and they are premium product... so unfortunately it seems we have to wait for fix fom Amazfit side.
Anyone else can report incompatible BT devices? Or maybe anyone else out there tried to connect a Bragi product?
Thx and br
Probably it cannot be fixed by Huami, as the the limitation is the hardware used in Pace (4.0BLE). I have read somewhere that Stratos uses a different BT chip and supports higher version, not sure if 4.1 or 4.2. There is a list of known compatible and incompatible devices in a Facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/HuamiAmazfit.Pace.Smartwarch/permalink/344737925947591/
Thx lfom, i joined the group and seems that Bragi The Headphone does not work in general (others report that too). Sad that a standard protocol like bluetooth still seems to have compatabiliy issues. Have to live with it and use different BT-headphone. Thx for your help
Hi... my Kaidi headset will not pair Amazfit as well. I can pair Amazfit with iPhone and can pair Kaidi headset with iPhone but never Amazfit with Kaidi. Sad...
SOLVED! see my reply below
Hello all.
I just got my new LG V30. An amazing smartphone.
Only trouble I have is volume sync when using my Sennheiser PXC550 bluetooth.
Volume up and down on the headset does not sync with volume on the phone.
I have tested some other headset and the only one I managed to test out that the sync worked was with Sony WH-1000XM2.
Anyone here tested other headset and it's working?
Problem SOLVED!
LG Nordic raised the question to LG South-Korea and they came back with the following answer and solution:
"Volume sync with bluetooth can only be guaranteed with certain tested devices.
The list is as follows;
LG HBS series, Sony MW600 / WH-1000XM2 / WH-1000X,
Apple BeatsSolo Wireless, Plantronics Backbeat Go,
Jabra MOVE / COACH / PULSE, Bose QuietComfort 30/35,
B&O H5 / H7 / H9 / H9i
This is also probably given if they have the correct AVRCP version.
Regardless; We have a tip that can make it work anyway;
1. Connect smartphone with Bluetooth headset.
2. Settings> Network> Bluetooth> Select the headset settings icon (right)>
Edit the name of the device> Rename the device name as "ABS-DO-ENABLE".
3. Disconnect the headset> Reconnect the headset."
I have testet this on my Sennheiser PXC550 and it works!
Volume now syncs on BT.
Hey thanks a thousand times! I have the same headset (PXC 550). The best piece of hardware I ever owned. I will try that tip because this was the only point I disliked.
So lucky I came across your thread
---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
Worked for me too! Thanks again.
Nice tip! Works for my BT headset also. Any idea how to make it work for more than one BT device - not connected at the same time, but I have a few different headsets.
Thanks for this. Just got it working with my Jabra elite 65t. Was driving me crazy!

This was driving me bonkers too, but I think I've got it figured out. Name each device with the same prefix, but add a bit to the end to specify which each is. Here's how I have it set up:
ABS-DO-ENABLE (headphones)
ABS-DO-ENABLE (car)
ABS-DO-ENABLE (speakers)
Wonky, yeah, but at least it's working now.
Hey there,
i can confirm this workaround exept on behalf of the of the time this is working. When i delete my device from known devices and reconnect it afterwards while renaming it to the above pattern it works exactly one time. After a reconnect it behaves like before. Im assuming there might be some side effect regarding the used connection protocol. Do you know which AVRCP Version is used at your device ?

Hi, @Tymo55.
My headphone device, Sennheiser PXC550, uses AVRCP ver. 1.5 according to the manual.
I recommend you run the native LG app "Smart doctor", "optimize device" and reboot your LG V30-phone.
Dear all,
I recently purchased Jabra Elite Sport Earphones. They have both headphone function and heart rate monitor function. The "in ear" hear rate function work great so I would like to use it directly with my stratos.
The watch is able to connect to the earphones but regarding the heart rate monitor, I can see it in the activity accessories but when I try to connect, it tries but then says "impossible to communicate with XXX".
The earphones are bluetooth 4.2 and the stratos is 4.0. From various investigations, I could find that the 4.2 bluetooth specifications add various points regarding GATT profiles for bluetooth smart devices. I guess then the stratos is unable to connect because it is only 4.0 and not 4.2.
My question is then: is there any possibility to upgrade the watch to bluetooth 4.2? At least for what concerns software issues (my case here).
I installed Paceficator ROM expecting those new bluetooth profiles would be implemented but unfortunately not. Those, I guess, are available in the stratos 3 firmware as it is said as compatible Bluetooth 4.2 + BLE 5.0
I hope you will be able to help!
Thanks!
Edit 21/03:
I added 3 screenshot of the device scanned with my phone and Apps BLE Scanner and Bluetooth Scanner
I contacted Jabra too but they punted the issue telling they provide support for Smartphone usage and not smartwatch..
Have you enabled Bluetooth Smart in your Jabra Elite Sport Earphones before you tried to connect them with your watch? You should press and hold your right "bud" for about 10 sec.

Hello Zdune,
Thank you for taking care of my issue. I tried your trick. I heard "bluetooth Smart disconnected" and then in the watch/ Activity/ Accessories, the device was not appearing anymore.
I pressed again for 10s to reactivate and I could find again the device. But, trying to connect, it still says "unable to communicate with XX"
When the device is detected in the watch/Activity/ Accessories, it still shows a headset logo and not a heart rate logo. When I scan the device with my phone for bluetooth smart, it shows a heart rate logo. I think the watch is making confusion between the Classic Bluetooth function (headset) and the Smart function (health device). I don't know whether it is due to : 1) watch bluetooth version (4.0 instead of 4,2), 2) watch software issue, 3) headset software issue.
I hope someone can help.
