Hi everyone,
I've noticed something since I updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 (it's a Z1 compact).
Whenever I use another app than my default app to send SMS, eg. I'm using SMSPopup, Glowfly or event another "real" SMS app along with my default one (let's say hangouts or Handcent), I have duplicate sent SMS, that means I have twice my sent messages in my list. I didn't have this issue on JB.
I tried to tweak access/read/write permissions via AppOps but the result is still the same. I now have to use the same app for popups/Notifications and SMS. Other SMS apps are useless because they duplicate the text messages.
Does anyone has the same problem ? How can I fix this ?
Thanks a lot !

Make sure this is set correctly:
1. From your home screen, open Settings and head into “More…” under Wireless & Networks.
2. If running Android 4.4, you should see an option for “Default SMS app.”
3. Tap on that.
4. A window should appear with all apps that could be a potential SMS app.
5. Tap the one you want to use.

Sorry for a late answer and hope you get, or maybe you've already gotten, the issue resolved.
Dear all:
I just bought an AmazFit Bip and despite the watch is really good, i have an issue with the notifications.
I have tested the following issue with both MIFIT and NOTIFY & FITNESS apps from Google play.
The issue is that for most applications ( whataspp and others) when i receive a notification on the phone ,it sends it to the watch....... This is ok but, instead of simply receiving that notification on the watch, the watch start to show OLD notifications ( up to 6 ro 7) before showing the current one.
I have a samsung s8 Plus and I have disabled the "app monitor" to avoid the system killing the application in the background but it does nothing....
Similar behavior with the Notify & Fitness app.... Any Idea why this is happening..... Thanks
It's not just me! I just started wearing my Bip today and the notifications were driving me crazy. I'm running Oreo on an Asus ZenFone 3 so it's not a Samsung-related problem. I'm hoping it's a bug in MiFit that might be fixed in a future release.
Same here as well. This causes me to grab my phone and address or dismiss notification right away so I don't have to keep receiving them on the Bip everytime I get a new notification on the phone. Pretty annoying indeed. Fingers crossed that it will be addressed.
God, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. When you have multiple people messaging at once you CAN'T turn them off because it won't let you on the DND screen. It just vibrates for minutes... .Crazy. Hopefully they fix this.
Thanks God I am not the only one..... This was driving me crazy... Please HELPPPPPP
Yes its iritating..does anyone ever look "tools and amazfit" on playstore? It looks promising
Turn off app and SMS notifications in Mi Fit and use the free Alert Bridge app from the Play Store instead. It's much more customizable than Mi Fit and works perfectly.
Hi all.... It seems that with Alert Bridge app. the situation was resolved for some hours...... However now every time I receive a notification, the watch shows first the previous notifications received ......... before it shows the latest notification..
I do not understand why the watch cannot show only the latest notification received......
PLEASE HELP
Hello
Here my findings over the last few days...
I have an Samsung S8 Plus. What I have done is to deactivate all application notifications in the mifit and start monitoring each of them individually
1.) Whatapp is a mess and does not work with MIFIT . Instead use AlerBridge
2.) the application MESSAGING ( SMS) from Samsung should be deactivated from the MIFIT application. Use the Messaging from MIFIT app, but do not activate messaging in the app list.... This created a lot of issues and double text to me.
Since the last 2 days, it is working for me with almost no issues.
hope it helps

IMO Nofity and Fitness APP does a better job than MI Fit on everything. I completely uninstalled MI Fit app.

Exactly the same for me !
I tried Notify & Fitness and uninstalled Mi Fit and it seems that my Bip was not connected to the phone without Mi Fit. Am I missing something?

I think you need to unbind it in the mifit app and rebind it with the new one.

Since i don't use the Mi fit app anymore, i am not sure, but i remember that there is an option in the menu, to remove the watch from the app, OR you have to click in the menu on the watch and then remove it.
After that, in the N&F app, click on the Repair iin the menu.
Based on the OP description, I think I have a slightly different problem and wonder if anyone else has my problem. I don't receive old notifications again, but it will notify me "endlessly" (it eventually stops, but not with consistency). It usually happens with Hangouts and most often when I have multiple Hangouts messages that aren't dismissed or the notifications read. It's more common with group threads, but definitely happens with one unread, undismissed message notification that is a single person (not group thread). I usually have to both dismiss the notification and mark it as read, and then I'll be able to scroll to the Clear button, though I still have to scroll past the same problem message 10+ times before I can get to it. I can't usually reach the Clear option when this occurs without doing those two things. It isn't every time, but is very annoying and happens often enough to be very irritating. Does this happen to anyone?
I'm on a Pixel 2 running 8.1. Not everyone mentioned their OS, but it seems that Oreo has been common to those noting problems in this thread so far.

Yup, I have exactly the same issue. OnePlus 5 running custom ROM (Oreo). I am going to try the BridgeAlert app.
Does anyone else with a Pixel 2, has the same issue that I have regarding the "hang up" call button doing the same thing as "ignore" when on an incoming call?
Cheers

Do you have Oreo on phone? It seems to be related to Oreo, check other threads about the same issues, not only using BIP but Pace/Stratos too.
Hello,
I'm facing a problem that I can't seem to solve,
I've installed WatchDroid and it works very well, but I still get call notifications from the Amazfit app no matter what i do (I tried disabling notification access, phone access...).
The only solution I found is to completely close Amazfit app, but I'd like it to stay in background for sport / hearth sync
My watch is INT version A1612, rom 1.3.6d STOCKified, Amazfit app from playstore.
Thanks
Sync Amazfit app with watch to make sure your data is saved to the cloud, then erase app data in phone settings or uninstall then re-install it. When you open it again, don't give it permissions and it should work.
Just uninstalled it, but now when login, it says : login impossible : null
Hope it's a temporary server problem lol
EDIT: OK, was a router problem. But still having dual notifications
You have uninstalled then installed Amazfit app, not giving it permissions and it still gives you notifications? Are you sure one of the notifications is from Amazfit app and not both from WatchDroid?
Yes, positively sure, watchdroid shows the contact picture
I think the Amazfit app is hard-coded to watch for call and transfer them to the watch, for the moment i'll kill Amazfit app everytime
But it is very strange because if you have denied the app permission for phone., etc and to notifications then it should be not possible for it to know when there is call... Unless it's hacking the system somehow...
Maybe it's because I'm using a Xiaomi phone running Miui ?
I think I found a workaround,
Turning on silent mode on the watch seems to block Amazfit app notifications, but not WatchDroid ones...
Nice. It seems that it also happens with other phones too, a Galaxy S6 user reported the same issue on a FB group. Probably Amazfit app relies on some other method to always get the call notifications (you did revoke app permissions to SMS and Phone in phone's App settings, right?).
I've revoked it in app setting, and also tried blocking all phone access with appops without success.
The downside of silent mode is that there's no more vibration on WatchDroid notifications
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 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.
