[MENTION=3171542]ewoks[/MENTION] check forums and fb group https://www.facebook.com/groups/227999507621434/

Here and there you will get alot of information. From my perspective: I was about to buy Garmin FR 235, but within updates I can see much progress in Amazfit Pace. No matter what watch you will buy, there can be issues, including from most known companies..
[Amazfit] ewoks:
[MENTION=3460692]droidhd[/MENTION] great, thanks for the group link... I am already pretty sure that there is no better candidate than Huami Amazfit Pace, just wondered if there are adventages of buying US or CN variant or in July 2017 that doesn't matter anymore cause US version started getting updates more often as well as what are possible issues with one or another version... This information would be very useful cause I am just about to buy in next few days ( maybe even hours :)))) )
[Amazfit] droidhd:
Well I will buy US version, just waiting for some good price, im kinda afraid to order from gearbest/geekbuying (never ordered anything from those websites), specially since im stated in EU and the shipping from Amazfit is overrated ($45 + later i should pay tax+customs). If you are from US and will order directly from Amazfit, use code BETA (-30%) ;)
[Amazfit] ewoks:
[MENTION=3460692]droidhd[/MENTION] I am planning to pickup EN version for aprox 90 eur from geekbuying. Was using them before and have good experience getting things in EU
[Amazfit] scorpio1991:
Im from EU, bought from aliexpress, asked to write value 20EUR, and no taxes :) US version watch is good, Im actually happy with my buy. Ofcourse it there would be source code or more posibility to add your applications... then posibilities would be endless :D hardware is good, but software comunity could improve and create very good apps, now Im happy with software.
[Amazfit] droidhd:
[MENTION=4162760]scorpio1991[/MENTION] you had luck :D. Slovenia is hard when it comes to customs about items from China :). They open almost every package and ask for original invoice and link to ordered item. Im sad that I missed Primeday from amazon. It was with shipping+tax+customs for about $130 (114€). Whoever have unlocked bootloader, PACEfied looks great option as it is dev rom, translated. Cheapest directly from EU is still geekbuying, unfortenatly only with black strap (I hate myself that I saw live with red strap and its amazing!). If there is someone who knows for some near price with red strap (geekbuying 115€), let me know please :).
[Amazfit] scorpio1991:
buy with black strap and then buy for couple of bucks from china whatever color you want :D
[Amazfit] prinzipal:
Can't get the floor count to work with the latest US firmware. Any solutions?
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
I don't even see that counter?!
[Amazfit] 5tormChild:
Me neither. I think it was far from perfect in the Chinese ROM, so they just disabled it.
[Amazfit] prinzipal:
The Counter is just within the app. You can view it, with klicking on the Details of your daily steps.
[Amazfit] babaroga73:
No, no don't do it.

"Water resistance: IP67, resistant to water and dust"

resistant in water up to 1m normal temperature, up to 30 minutes. DO NOT SWIM WITH IT! I wouldn't even shower with it.
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Details screen shows all counters empty for me. Daily shows everything but floors?! For each day, even I climbed floors or did hiking...
[Amazfit] 5tormChild:
I have all the info displayed, except climbed floors, which is always zero.

It seems that the current FW doesn't have this feature - it was experimental in the Chinese FW at that time, so let's hope the next one will support climbed floors (not that I would use it).
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
I had it on Garmin VA HR. It was fun trying to reach the default goal of 10 floors during working days (used elevator much less) and then easily reach the goal dozen of times during weekend.
[Amazfit] Sbarvas:
.

well, i'm from Italy and at Gearbest there is a flash sale for Amazfit black English Version, 92€ and with Priority Line (7 - 15 business days) €2.71 you don't pay any taxes or something else.

Me,as you, want the red version of amazfit but you can buy this red watchband on ebay for few euros.
[Amazfit] droidhd:
[MENTION=8425567]Sbarvas[/MENTION] Slovenian customs are b****s, they do open all packages that comes from China :/

Thats why Im searching for some good priced EU shop. Geekbuying had one from German warehouse (121€) but not in stock at the moment. Maybe I should try at gearbest and see how lucky I am, dunno..
[Amazfit] Sbarvas:
.

B******S!

You can't find any stratagem? give it to trieste? and then to slovenia? some friends near border with Italy?.
[Amazfit] babaroga73:
Mind you, the ebay ones are not the same as original. Kinda softer rubber, and the clip (?) is in silver colour metal, not the original black.
[Amazfit] fzelle:
1: You can't, this is not a phonewatch

2. You can't
[Amazfit] arlmsk:
I just bought the black international version n already update to 1.3.3a how to set the notifications ? Seems couldnt get any notifications from whatsapp n incoming call or sms. Please help. Thank u so much
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Under notification settings, app blacklist settings, turn on notification for specific apps.
[Amazfit] arlmsk:
Still cant get any notifications, any idea guys ? Thank u for all ur help. ?

DONE....CAN NOW ! THANK U
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
You may need to give Amazfit app permission to access notification, phone book, etc.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
For some reason I'm only showing 3 metrics on my screen instead of 4 or 6. This is a first for me. Anyone else with this issue? I'm a bit peeved. Four metrics was key for me buying this.

and this is messed up...it starts out with three metrics, then the locked screen that takes over goes to 4. Is it me or does that behavior not make sense? As soon as I press the button it goes back to three metrics. This makes zero sense. Running at night I'll never see the 4th metric because you tap for the backlight and it goes back to three. I even checked backlight always on and it still goes off. Can't imagine why they would create this behavior. It's definitely deliberate if your only metric options are four and six fields.

It's funny, I returned this watch once and decided to give it a second try. Now Im just discovering new issues, and the one above makes the watch fairly useless for night running and spinning classes. Dropped Amazfit an email. Will see if they reply. Specifically mentioned the 3 to 4 metric switch and the inability to keep the backlight on during an activity.
[Amazfit] malimukk:
Uhm, when you unlock the watch during an activity you can scroll up and down to see more metrics
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
Ummm, I'm trying to focus on running or riding, not have to tap and scroll. If I'm straddling my cardiac threshold docusomfnonnsfrollonfnand reading is annoying and distracting. I just want to glance and keep going. The point of having four is they're always there and you don't have to scroll.
[Amazfit] malimukk:
Yeah I understand, but doesn't the light come up automatically when you lift your wrist -> watch remains locked and you have your data at a glance.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
I've used it mostly for indoor activities and my Garmin for running. But if that's the case, you still lose the fourth metric and have to use your other hand to scroll. Kinda defeats the purpose. I don't know of any other watch that change screens like that. Any.... Don't really get the point of having 4 or 6 metrics only to have the "active" screen revert to three.
[Amazfit] fzelle:
And you have switched the display in the settings on the watch?

Sport/Settings/DataScreens set to 6
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
I've had it set for 4 and 6. I only care about 4 unless I start paying attention to my HR more. But if 4 or 6 are the only set options, I don't understand why 3 is even in the picture. When I start a run it goes to 3. Then when the screen locks it'll show 4 or 6. Then when I activate the screen it reverts back to 3.
[Amazfit] madtech360:
While that is definitely a bummer, you can alter the order of the fields that is shown when you unlock the watch.

From the watch app

App Settings -> Sport Item Order -> Run (or other activity) -> Rearrange the order as per your needs.

If you need only three, then you are in luck?.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
Yeah. I know. I need four. That was the point of buying the watch. 4 data fields and music. Not four sometimes. Maybe I'm nitpicking, but it's been five years since my motoactv but the dust. The advancement of these products is seriously lacking when you have android watches that can't last more than a day, give or take. TomTom us unreliable while overpromising and underdelivering on their products. Garmin just steadily plods forward as old reliable. Tizen's apps suck and are limited to three metrics (all of them). This is as close as it comes, and it's inconsistent and lacking in the little things. Just got down a spinning and going for a run. I had to sloractically wave my arm to get the light on during spin. Tapping it to go on is futile. Maybe I got a dud to boot. I don't know. I don't think I'm being that unrealistic in expectations. I don't need advanced running metrics like Garmin's advanced runners.

I just want my time, distance and average and current pace visible at all times. Maybe ad in HR on certain training days. Going for a run now. I wonder how visible the screen will be in the shade when I hit the woods. Will see.

On the plus side... Calories was on part with the bike computer in class. I do like the screen and the battery life. One reason why you should be able to keep the back light on during activities, the multi day battery.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
And my music isn't playing in track order. Seems to want to start on track 8 and play backwards. Professionally done MP3's that play normally everywhere else.
[Amazfit] puntxo:
Maybe the "track 8" has some tag info written where it appears like the first one of a certain album and the amazfit is able to recognize it? I still haven't tried to changue the way the amazfit plays the tracks since i don't care much about the order, but you could give it a try.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
It shouldn't be that, but you never know. But then to play in reverse order from there is odd. I had wear media do that on my Sony. Didn't matter what album. It refused to play in track order. And for me it's music for a class I teach so the order is kind of there for a reason.

I'll try some other albums just to see what happens. But each file name and track name start with 01, 02 and so on. The tracks are numbered one through eleven properly.

I do hope at some point they allow normal albums, playlists and such to choose music. Not that you can fit a lot in a couple gigs, but every little bit helps.
[Amazfit] droidhd:
Check ID3 tags. Sometimes filename doesnt matter, but track ID. Another solution is, download some free sound (music) editor and make one track out of xy tracks. So you will have set of songs in one track.
[Amazfit] le_lutin:
I also have issue playing tracks in order - can't figure out what order the amazfit is trying to play them in.
[Amazfit] droidhd:
I always make music mixes for running. Its easy to do them, since I dont watch on BPM in mix, so I just drop them one after another. Positive side of these mixes is, there is no silence while Im running and it takes me 5-10minutes to create and export 1h long mix to mp3. Im doing that at the moment, while Im running with phone. And I will do same when I get my Amazfit these days. In worst case scenario, if there will be music cracking (as Ive read many times about this BT bug), I will order one cheap & small mp3 BT player :)
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
Well I'm about ready to return my 2nd Pace. This is the music response from Amazfit...

I just laid into them for that. The only other app I've seen do this is wear media for Android wear. Same issue.

I tried two more albums and same behavior. Start towards the end of the album and play the songs in reverse order from there. That's just stupid. $10 mp3 players from aliexpress play correctly and even do all the tag info playing.

I don't know how many things I'm willing to work around. And I teach classes and go off of straight albums as well as create playlists. Track order is kind of important. This is so basic, and they don't even get that right.

I'm thinking I have to suck up the new Sansa Clip w/BT and just get the Vivoactive HR and call it a day.

I guess if you're no so discerning you can deal with these little things, but some things should just work properly. Playing music in 2017 should just work.
[Amazfit] le_lutin:
That's some crazy shizzle right there from Amazfit!

You'd think at the least if they wanted the music to play randomly, they would just randomise it while it played! How hard could it be!

I wonder if there's a way for us to access the "randomised playlist" and modify it...
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
I have no idea. But it'll be interesting to see their reply. I basically said it appears that nobody in charge of the firmware and how the device actually works is any sort of user of the device or someone who actually works out and exercises because your watch functions a bit differently than the mainstream ones from Garmin, TomTom, polar and what not.
[Amazfit] ci3:
I have the same problem with 1.3.3a version. Not able to sync with strava, though I am using Google login in both that is amazfit and strava. Please help me.
[Amazfit] areynoldsnz:
So it goes to 4? Isn't that what you want?

My run starts on 3 metrics, then switches to 6 after about 20 seconds. These metrics stay on the screen unless I press a button. To read them at night I would flick my wrist so the backlight comes on.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
It's great if it's daylight. But I run at night and can't see squat. So when I need to see I have to wave my arm or tap the **** out of the screen and then I lose my four metrics to three. Hence the need for an always on backlight especially if it's going to lock.

But the music thing is really killing it for me. I just got a look at the Vivoactive 3 coming out. I might just suck up the card less Sansa Clip Sport and go that route. Amazfit's responses haven't really given me any assurance music will ever play properly.
[Amazfit] Weezer89:
Wow this sucks big time!

So the order of the songs that are played can not be changed once you uploaded the songs? How dumb is that?!
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
It's not that they can't be changed, it's that they won't even play in track order. At least not from what I've seen along with a couple others and from what Amazfit support told me.

And not to be a Debbie downer or stereotype, but I swear, so many off brand Chinese products flirt with greatness against major brands, but always manage to throw enough glaring flaws to knock them down a bunch of pegs.

So I'm checking out the upcoming Vivoactive 3 and thinking it'll be the perfect blend for a watch minus music. I'd actually love to see an android wear watch use th lens reflective screen instead of amoled, but that's another discussion. So I'm looking at alternatives to the Sansa Clip Sport as a small BT music player since the SanDisk lacks a card slot this go around. In comes Agptek with a couple nice looking Clip competitors. Bluetooth, card slot, FM. Perfect right? Nope. It won't do playlists over BT. FM I can understand. It's the same on phones. But in 2017, they can't get their firmware right to do playlists over Bluetooth. That just seems to make no sense. And the players look really nice in comparison to the Clip. One with the color screen and one with the monochrome like the older clips. And they're around $30. Shame.

Here's a titbit about mp3 track order here ... http://www.reddit.com/r/amazfit/comments/6mw4jm/_/
[Amazfit] AmazfitVP:
Recently bought watch, update FW 1.3.3a and did my first run. Sadly for me, watch do not sync with strava. Using Iphone 6s with latest watch and iphone fw. Tried unpair watch, relogin in strava... nothing helps. Any ideas guys?
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Silly question, did you login to Strava trough Amazfit app?
[Amazfit] AmazfitVP:
Yes mate, connect to strava through Amazfit watch app.

My steps:

-Did run with watch and get results

-Open Amazfit app and wait till watch connected and synched

-Push Activity Sync section in app

-Push Data Sync

-press link to my Strava account and found no records of my activity :(

Unpair and relogin to strava do not help
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Are you using Amazfit app from play store? Again, silly question because Chinese version should not have Strava option at all.

Strava is syncing only GPS activities. I'm pretty sure, you chose run and had GPS lock. Just checked and my activities are synced with Strava even I'm not using it at all. Especially since Amazfit has all activities in the app itself.
[Amazfit] VuDuCuRSe:
Isn't what you want simply to have the blacklight always on?

If so, before running, pull down from the clock to the quick settings screen and then click the blacklight icon until you have blacklight set to always on. I assume that it drains a lot of battery, so you should revert back to "auto" after the exercise.

Regarding the track order, I'm with you, it's completely idiotic that months after the initial release and several updates, it's still not working as expected and no-one really understands how it is actual behavior.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
That didn't work. I had it on the always on setting. It never stayed on.

I told Amazfit they need to have a toggle in the activity menu so you can easily toggle it to always on, automatic, gesture (or whatever it is), and off. But that still brings it back to the data screen. If the back light is on, you're reduced to three data fields. You only get four or six once the screen locks. Which also doesn't make any sense.

I actually just picked up a Shanling M1 DAP. It's slightly larger than the Sansa Clip. Plan on using it with my Jaybirds and sticking with my og Vivoactive until the Vivoactive 3 comes out. If Amazfit cleans things up, I'll entertain it again.

I even broke out the Sony SW3 again, and it did a nice job over the weekend with music and ghostracer giving me my four metrics. I just don't like it as a watch. So I can leave it charged in the car for now.
[Amazfit] AmazfitVP:
I am using Amazfit Watch app from App Store (have iphone 6S).

I have english watch version.

GPS was enabled during my run.
[Amazfit] dbpaddler:
FYI, support told me an update was going to hit soon. Didn't say exactly when. It was a follow up to my screen and mp3 complaints. I told her that was nice but doesn't concern me as I returned mine. I might revisit at some point, but only if my two issues are fixed.
[Amazfit] droidhd:
Hey guys, my run today gives me strange results. Now Im not sure it is due 4minute pause i did on watch or strava reported wrong results? Check screens from amazfit app and strava:

Amazfit app vs strava (synced from amazfit app) https://imgur.com/gallery/H2TEJ

Edit: I inserted wrong screens from Amazfit (previous run), I fixed it now.
[Amazfit] droidhd:
Let me answer to my own question, we had discussion also in Strava - Amazfit group:

This one minute is lost because I made a stop for drinking and removing sweat from me and didnt press pause. Strava recognized it as pause by itself and there we go, thats why such a difference. In case, someone else get in similar problem.

https://strava.app.link/67EczvHqPF
[Amazfit] malimukk:
Auto pause on the watch has been added to the Chinese rom, we will be probably getting it with the next US update
[Amazfit] qpqpqp:
I hope the next update allow for easier file transfer from the phone to the watch.
[Amazfit] fzelle:
What do you want to transfer?
[Amazfit] qpqpqp:
Music, watch faces, etc...
[Amazfit] jcyaoo:
Base on the past USA firmware releases, they release new firmware every quarter. Next one would be in September or next month.
[Amazfit] S3V3N:
Transfer is possible. You just have to change the directory name when copying :)

After more than 3 months of waiting it's here! Updated my OP with the changelogs.
[Amazfit] babaroga73:
Wonderful! Most of the wanted features seems to be there now. Timer app, weee!

Please guys, report back how's the battery now, and does the custom watchfaces work good still. I've made a couple and would like to keep using them.

Also, guys, try getting away from phone, does it have "Don't forget your phone" if it looses BT connection, as I requested that via mail to them. You only need it once , or you loose/forget your phone somewhere ;)

One more thing, how's the sleep tracking now, for us that like to have afternoon siesta, too. Does it track sleep better now?
[Amazfit] hagendanzs:
I need the new firmware for download. PLEASE

I do not have wifi connections for firmware upgrade, I need firmware 1.3.4f. Where I find myself I use a proxy server and the clock does not recognize the internet. Here also is blocked links of file sharers being possible to use only the link of the own Amazfit or the google drive link. Someone help me?:(
[Amazfit] areynoldsnz:
Go somewhere that has wifi and no proxy server?
[Amazfit] droidhd:
I am impressed with new update, specially with HR! It is way better then before, though it was good even before. But, what impressed me is measuring even when hand is wet a lot from sweating. It tooks me 20% on first run after update, but since that run (6 hours ago), i lost only 1%. And I thinkvI know why I lost 20% due running. I had screen backlight on 2 and even that is great now for night runners. It actually turns on when you turn watch to yourself. And since Im measuring my pace, I look often into watch and that leads for lot of backlight = battery drain. Tomorrow I will try without backlight, so I can see the difference. Anyway, Im glad for this update, except one small fix is needed in timer. I miss seconds, as there are only minutes and hours. Me for example, I do 10-15/50 seconds intervals (10-15 seconds sprint, 50 seconds resting).

And maybe in next (winter update?) would be amazing to add ski run sport. I hope someone from Huami read XDA forums :)
[Amazfit] mongday:
1.3.4f firmware, Can I disable always on display?

How to show the running rout in map and share them?
[Amazfit] McFlyH:
1. No.

2. You can export gpx data. Or see route in app on phone.
[Amazfit] mongday:
How to see route in app?
[Amazfit] babaroga73:
I've had a bit of chill yesterday, as my Amazfit on 1.3.4f and custom watchface suddenly went stupid. Couldn't access anything on it , and it wouldn't even wake the screen up from powersaving mode.

So, I've put it on charger, and suddenly, the battery level reading went from 44% to zero. So, I've waited until it charged to 5% or so, turned it on again and when it charged to about 50% I did a factory reset.

It was a bit of hussle to make it pair again , without reinstalling the app on the phone, but I managed to do it. It asked me if it would sync the data back to phone so it did.

What you need to do to re-pair it again after factory reset, is to remove it completely from known bluetooth devices before scanning the QR code, so it can pair again.
[Amazfit] zbebus:
