[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] biso46:
Hello,

I'm asking if it is worth buying the 3gb ram version over the 2gb ram since it costs about 1000 EGP more for the 3gb ram and it comes without warranty.

The 2gb model costs 3400 EGP with 1 year warranty

The 3gb model costs 4300 EGP without warranty
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] BabyTedhu:
Yes bro, go with 3 GB ram, 2 gb is not sufficient
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] pabloa2:
Unequivocally yes.

You get twice the storage on top of 1 gb more ram. Easily worth the extra money. You can recover a hard bricked phone yourself (I have done it twice) but you need very steady hands and some knowledge of small electronics repair. So basically, be careful and always follow directions carefully so you don't hard brick your phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Sisqo:
I have the 2gb, the ram is somehow enough but the internal storage isn't... You cannot move the apps to sd so if you install large apps go to the 3gb ram.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Denis:):
I have 2GB model and it is enough...it gives even better score in RAM then 3GB version...but I would like more storage :) but its enough for me, cuz I keep media and everything on microsd...and you are still left with about 9GB of apps you can install...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] biso46:
How about gaming performance? Is it quite smooth as on the 3GB version or you face any lag? That what would matter in addition to the storage since I'll root my phone and could force move the apps with these App2SD applications.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Denis:):
Nope, it is same performance as on 3GB...

You can install apps on microsd, but performance in this apps will be reduced... So im not using that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] iwanova:
So the gaming performance? It's same.

But still, I'd prefer to buy 32 gb version. You know, More games = more storage.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Theoutbackdream:
I have the 3GB and easily use 2gb of ram.. so... theres that...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] vampire585:
Absolutely...huge difference.

also price difference is very less
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] febry_valdy:
Take that 3gb, I regret to have 2gb of RAM as I know this phone consumes alot of RAM resources than my previous phone Zenfone 5.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] LeoYL:
It depends on how you use your phone, like what apps you will install, whether you clear background apps frequently... If you have a phone with 2 GB RAM and 64-bit SoC, you can have a idea on how performance on 2 GB variant is.

Hi Guys,

can you tell me who to use the wi-fi on Sprint HTC Touch...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
Wrong thread for this. If you are trying to find help for the Sprint Touch then check the Vogue forum. There is a long ongoing discussion there about this and from what is understood, wifi will never work on the Sprint Touch.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
This Thread is for everything related to the Amazfit watch that does not fit into the other threads.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Updated to 1.2.6a (Chinese Version)

Changelog with Google translate:
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Does anyone know what Bluetooth Class the Amazfit uses?

Today i had my phone (Huawei P9lite) on the bottom of my car's trunk and was over 40 Meters away from it. Despite that fact i got several messages on my watch.

This seems an unusual long distance to me.

So at least i really can not complain about the range of my BT.
[Amazfit] losteagle:
For who is interested in 1.2.1 Hua Watch App here is my link :https://app.box.com/s/uzov816mmzagzctcj71mlniaph5qhrdu
[Amazfit] mmarko:
As there is little or no info available on HW after some investigation for me it looks like its Ingenic M200 CPU, and its probably following newton2 platform. Maybe somebody find this useful.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
I can confirm this. There are many references in the firmware to ingenic code.
[Amazfit] alexinc:
Can someone confirm that with Amazfit Watch App 1.2.1 the ability to upload custom watch faces got lost?
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Have the same issue here. With 1.2.0 it worked, with 1.2.1 it is gone.

But honestly, i found the feature quite useless as a transflective LCD isn't really good in displaying images and the readability of the watch face gets worse with a background image.;)
[Amazfit] Jube91:
it worked for me, thanks for the translation!!
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Had just another issue that i find a bit annoying.

Went out for a little run and had to go slow because of the snow.

The watch automatically paused the logging. so i had to take my gloves off to keep it going. while putting my gloves back on, it already paused again. i left the watch unattended and it really didn't record most of my run. It recorded a time of 42 minutes but only 900 meters.

They should at least wait two minutes with GPS on and check if the runner continues moving. What if you have to stop at a traffic light?
[Amazfit] flintzen_123:
Today I did a run again. The GPS was failing again with US-firmware. I am very disappointed with the reception. [IMG="Run"]https://i.imgsafe.org/a4ee533d2a.png[/IMG]

The red line was the tracked one, the blue line the actual route I ran. I need to test the new chinese versions of the firmware.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Seems that the GPS is turning off. You should really go for another firmware.

My lat/long precision is decent with 1.2.6b but elevation in the first few trackpoints still has the value -20000meters
[Amazfit] dpenevdpenev:
Hi flintzen_123,

I have done 2, 3 running sessions in the open area with the 1.2.6b and the recorded track is typically withing 5 m from the actual track.

Occasionally I get smooth deviation of something like 10m but it it is not very often.

When I was with 1.2.5 I had deviations like 100m but the recorded track was continuous.

In your case your GPS loses the sync with the satellites. You have not stooped or running very slow, correct?

I hope it is not a hardware issue you are facing.

If I have to summarize the watch GPS (1.2.6b) is kind of OK even though

it is at least twice as less accurate as my phone, but probably I should expect this?

Not sure what is the typical accuracy of the Garmin watches.

What I am missing now is the Altitude and simple Strava export from my phone.

Regards

Dimitar
[Amazfit] flintzen_123:
I was not running slowly, so that can't be it. I needed to stop a couple of meters before the connection was lost since I needed to cross a main street with frequently running cars. Also I do not understand, that sometimes everything just works fine and another time it is totally unusable. Almost the same route then. I have now switched to the latest chinese firmware, but still the measurements are shown in miles instead of kilometers. When I first switched back to version 0.9.5. the km were back but with the latest version it shows miles again.
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
The watchfaces work quite well if you modify the golden rooster watchface and apply a vector based background image, then it displays the white clock hands on your colored background, which is nicely readable. The only annoying issue is, that clock hands don't move when the screen ist idle. You have to wake up the screen to see what time it really is.
[Amazfit] alexinc:
thats only partly true. you can't see the seconds in realtime, but watch face is updated every minute in idle mode...
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
I know it works but i prefer maximum contrast. So if the hands are white then the background has to be black and an all black background is not an "image" ;)

All that fancy stuff looks better on OLED or regular LCD.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
What kind of Phone is that? I want it.

My Amazfit performs on an equal level to a Garmin Oregon 450 and all the phones i had so far were worse than that.

The Oregon is not perfect but it is usable for Openstreetmap mapping and geocaching. Most high sensitive GPS receivers have more or less problems with reflections that make the position inprecise but that is what they are made for. A receiver that works even without direct satellite view. Best was my GPSMAP 60CSx with an sirfIII chipset but they do not build them any more.
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
I geht delays of 10 minutes and more.
[Amazfit] alexinc:
i can't confirm with cn-firmware. :confused:
[Amazfit] firoz3321:
Anybody?
[Amazfit] dsac23:
Hi,

It seems to be a long time you typed this post, but i bought a pace and i am experiencing tha same problem... Have you solved this problem?

Thanks.
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
Yes, I bought one from AliExpress and that fixed it.
[Amazfit] leongsem:
i really do not know what happen

after I use amazfit stratos, my jabra sport apps unable to communicate with jabra sport elite but still able to use to listen to music.

anyone know why and any solution?

I am using huawei mate 9
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Looks like that Amazfit has non-standard, weird, BT implementation which may cause collision with other apps or services using BT. For example, I cannot pair new device, usually phone is not even showing them, if Amazfit is not connected.

It's not solution to your problem, just info. Maybe stopping app will help or having watch connected or...
[Amazfit] leongsem:
I have no problem to pair with earphone

however, the apps is unable to detect this earphone while I still able to use it for music. sigh
[Amazfit] intimateangel:
Sometimes people's need can surprise you!

I have a need for these two badly. Explanation?

I drive a motorcycle and i use a bluetooth headset - Airpods.

Now I wear a helmet while driving, I have the airpod tucked in and my phone inside my pocket.

If a call comes and if I want to change tracks while on motorcycle what do I do? I can't access the airpods tap feature from within the helmet!

I use my pebble to do that. I can pick up calls easily and even change tracks.

So I would need the same functionality in Amazfit Bip as well
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
I' m on PACEfied en firmware
[Amazfit] alexinc:
me too (as its based on cn-firmware just with en-translations). :)
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
on which App/screen/watchface?
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
When I modify the golden rooster theme and use my own watchface with this theme, the clock hands aren't moving, when the screen is in idle mode. When I wake up the watch, they are jumping into the right position. The delay can be 10 minutes and more. I'm using the english version with PACEfied ROM on top.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Okay, so the other watchfaces do not have that issue?
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
After some testing, I can confirm that it happens with all watchfaces. I guess, I should try to reset and reinstall the ROM.
[Amazfit] calzone123:
It has to do with the format in which contact numbers are stored. First, there should be no spaces between groups of digits. In case of 9 digits numbers it should be "xxxxxxxxx" instead of "xxx xxx xxx". So delete the spaces. Some phones add those spaces automatically, so you will see them anyway in your contact properties, but it is important that there should be no spaces at all in contact edit mode.

Second, if you don't use international prefixes - try them (like +48 for Poland). If you use them already - try store the numbers without them. This is inconsistent and different combinations work for different people.

If your contacts are stored in Google account - it's more convenient to edit them there and synchronize with your phone.
[Amazfit] Kaudii:
thanks
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
Did anybody else notice that the alarm app is very unreliable? I set 3 alarms in a row and only one went off.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
What do you mean with "in a row"? How much time was between them?
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
30 minutes between the alarms, only the first one went off.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Tested it with three alarms and 30 minutes in between each of them. Did work fine.

I didn't tap on snooze, i turned them off each time.

PACEfied 1.2.6b on CN 1.2.6b
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
Alarm issue fixed after factory reset.:laugh:
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
FM Radio ? What does that mean?
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
It means you can download music from web radio. The app is called Watercress FM and is included in Chinese Firmware.
[Amazfit] dpenevdpenev:
After about 1 month having the watch I got the short 20cm BT and WiFi range issue.

It is purchased from China

I did a factory reset and I believe this is what could triggered this I am not sure.

The issue appeared in 1.2.6c and update to 1.2.7 didn't help

Anyone having news about this issue?
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
No news but some experience of users lead to the conclusion that a hard hit on watch seems to disconnect the antennas which results in the shortened range.
[Amazfit] dpenevdpenev:
Hmm, I don't recall I have hit mine recently.

I hope at the end it will appear to be a software issue,.

Anyone with this issue testing with the complete flashing the watch? This does not fix it?

Thanks

Dimitar
[Amazfit] calzone123:
It's hardware issue, nothing to do with flashing firmware. On chinese forum if someone reports this Huami moderators offer nothing else but direct replacement.
[Amazfit] dpenevdpenev:
Hi calzone123,

thanks. If it is a hardware issue I would assume it is due to bad RF design and under some circumstances part on the RF radio path gets burned.

I don't think it is mechanical stress issue as so many are affected and i have not found a link that someone saying that droped the watch and got this.

but still sounds as a strange issue to me ...
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
We had two people here that reported that this started to happen after the watch fall down or hit the door frame.

I indeed do find it reasonable that the hardware design can get loose antenna cables. It would explain, why the range goes down to some 20-30cm, as this would be expected in such a case.
[Amazfit] calzone123:
We had a survey on FB group and +30 users reported this issue. With no relation to a mechanical impact, flashing firmware, anything. In China they exchange the watches with no question asked. It's more complicated to get replacement for western users with watches from Gearbeast or other "unauthorised sources" (as Huami/Amazfit calls them) but there are already cases in progress.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
I got the watch from [MENTION=4266990]Pi3rluigi[/MENTION] (many thanks!). This has the same problem. I use the watch for development (so can keep my working watch as a daily runner). I really don't think at all that this is in any way a software problem. Therefore, it must be a hardware issue.
[Amazfit] calzone123:
Now I'm affected too :(

There is this option called ForceErase as seen in unbricking procedure. How does it work? Is it safe to try it in order to eliminate software problem completely?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
No, not safe. Seems to erase the whole watch. Don't do it.

If your have WiFi issues, this is nearly 100% surely a hardware issue. Send it back for exchange. Nothing else helps. Sorry [emoji17]
[Amazfit] 5tormChild:
Too bad... :crying:

I hope JerryRigEverything will make a video about the Amazfit Pace, about how durable it is, and maybe a nice teardown video too - let's hope the culprit is some loosely connected antenna...!

(It would be so nice to 'sacrifice' a watch to see what's inside, but nobody wants to burn $100+.)
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
The WiMinders app, BETA posted here on XDA works nicely with the watch. It sends you a reminder when you leave or enter the zone of a specific WiFi.
[Amazfit] romanguro:
It would nice to have the app for viewing notes.

Something like Papyrus EX

Where notes exists as a directory with TXT files.

Ideally, all sync to your phone =)
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
You can ask the developer of WiMinder to implement it, he is asking for feature requests.
[Amazfit] attily89:
I'm considering buying this but I don't know if it allows to flash apks. I'm interesting to know in particular if the Freeletics Bodyweight apk is or it will be compatible with this smartwatch.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
It is already possible to install custom apks via adb, people have successfully installed a countdown timer, a calculator and a keyboard, even Mini Google Maps. This is not supported by the official ROM though and might not work with your preferred app.
[Amazfit] mahtabshuv:
Could you please provide a link to those apks... Thank you
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
The links are in the PACEfied main thread, posted by Cracklydisc On my phone it's on page 99 of the main thread.
[Amazfit] powerforward:
Why is the stopwatch feature drains the battery fast? I have used the stopwatch for an hour straight and it drained 24% of the battery. Im using pace.

I asked someone to try it with his China version and it drained his battery 3% in 6 minutes. Anyone here experiencing this too? It is just frustrating that a simple function drains the battery faster than with gps and bluetooth on
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
My guess : it is using the CPU full time, whereas in other use cases if it's mostly asleep.
[Amazfit] powerforward:
Neuer_User, can this be fixed with the next update or with a custom rom?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
everything still being an hypothesis, I assume, this would need a major change, moving the stopwatch activities from the CPU to the sensorhub. I guess that is possible, but I'm neither sure, and nobody else than Huami knows how to do that, if it is possible .
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
Definitely a problem with idle time as the watch constanly updates the display and stays on completely during the time is running.

If you want a stop watch that shows only seconds instead of thenth of seconds and goes into standby afer a few seconds it should be possible fro huami to change the App.

I just got amazfit today. All working ok.

But one thing I notice, that call notification is only display numbers instead of name on phonebook.

Is it normal? What do I need to change, if I want the name is showing on amazfit when somebody is calling me.

Sent from my MI MAX
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
I think that numbers must be in international format.

Sent from my Moto X Force
[Amazfit] [BY]onicS:
Could you please give an example of international format?

[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Just google "international phone number format"

For example I got:

Amazfit Pace US with Steps Export

Hi Everyone,

I am using Amazfit Pace US version A1612 and iphone. Anyone can help me to sync steps and sleep to iphone? Amazfit only sync activity to the strava, but not the steps. I already try login to chinese App Store and install Mi Fit and Amazfit from there, but still without luck to sync the step to Mi Fit.

Thanks a lot for the help
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
Is it possible to install some kind of ES File Explorer on the watch?
[Amazfit] dpenevdpenev:
Hi all,

I have tried to use the new feature "gpx track import in the Amazfit watch"

I am on the latest Pacefied.

I got a gpx track file which I can import in the google maps on my PC, so I assume the format is OK.

I have put the file in the watch folder gpxdata.

In the Sport -> Settings -> Trajectory I see the file name but if I tap it.

It just says "Please wait for track loading" and this stays forever.

Anyone tested successfully this new feature?
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
So is it worth it to drop $104 on this watch? All I want to do is find a real successor to my MotoActv. I want to listen to music through my Bluetooth headphones while I see my four run metrics and ultimately see that info uploaded. If it's strava, fine.

So much talk about the pacified ROM and various firmwares and problems with this or that. Doesn't seem to be anyone talking about how this actually works as a GPS watch you can use while listening to music over BT.
[Amazfit] pmos69:
Go for it. Totally worth it.

There's some discussions about GPS accuracy, but I haven't noticed any issues with mine while exercising and listening to music.

I don't think you'll find a watch with better battery life in sports mode (with GPS and all the sensors active). For me that's just peace of mind and an important feature.
[Amazfit] Mahoro.san:
Any good looking custom watch faces, the watch faces it comes with are terrible...
[Amazfit] pmos69:
Sure thing. Here you go:
[Amazfit] eremeya:
If anyone wants a new Amazfit watch that can be rooted send me a PM. I currently live in China and a local Xiaomi store seems to have a stock of watches produced before they started locking them down.
[Amazfit] eremeya:
Does anyone know how to get Alipay working on the PACEfied Rom? I try to set it up and friends who are fluent in Chinese have tried to help but we cant figure it out.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
Just came today. Traveling Saturday so I'll see if I can load up some music and make use of it while in Vegas.

Is it me or does anyone else think the band attachment should be higher up on the watch? I feel like the watch sits on four posts and could easily get caught on something between the band and the watch. It would also look less bulbous if the transition from watchmaker to band were smoother.

Otherwise, seems nice in comparison to my Sony SW3.
[Amazfit] eremeya:
Where did you get your watch from and what is the firmware on it?

I thought it band attachment was a bit low but after having mine for a little bit I don't really notice it much anymore. As for being caught on things I haven't really had a problem with that but then I normally wear long-sleeved shirts.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
From amazfit US. $103 shipped. Firmware is 1.3.0n. So still flashable.
[Amazfit] eremeya:
Nice.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
But I'll get annoyed quick if it keeps bugging me to update. Any way to tuen it off?

I asked in the PACEfied thread what the benefits were of flashing it over stock. Guessing I'm at the point of no return. Haven't gotten a response yet.
[Amazfit] eremeya:
One of the biggest advantages for me for PACEfied over regular is that it is based on the latest chinese dev Rom and I can keep root. The US version is apparently slow to receive updates.

I have not had an issue with the watch or phone bugging me for updates.

I just installed the Google calculator app on my watch and it works pretty good
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
Quick advice for Amazfit owners. Better use a screen protector . I scratched my screen with the metal zipper on the pocket of my tracksuit.
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
re-pair on Pacefied/rooted watch.

1. you need to be rooted or to be running a Pacefied rom.

2. you need to have ADB installed and configured.

steps:

adb root

adb shell am start -n com.huami.watch.ble/com.huami.watch.qrcode.QrActivity

take a look at your watch :)
[Amazfit] vicnet31:
Hello,

I had some difficulties to pair my watch with my LG G4 phone with Amazfit app and scancode.

Scancode is read fine but after It wait a long time and show an error...

Before pairing, I cannot see my watch in bluetooth devices !

But it appears in bluetooth devices with a Samsung.

After digging on internet, and tried multiple solutions, I found that after activate GPS, surprising, I can pair my watch with amazfit app !! :p

a+

[Amazfit] Noreg96:
My question before buying this. Can I apkinstall any app on it? Like spotify and runtastic? I know the scaling of the app will be a problem, but how bad will it be? Can someone with the watch test before I buy. Thanks!
[Amazfit] eremeya:
Most apps won't work. The one app (not written for the Amazfit watch) that I have found that works perfectly in Google's calculator app.

If you want to try installing apks with alkinstaller you'll need to make sure the apks were compiled for a MIPS CPU.
