For ios Users (with latest mifit app) there is no way to stop Auto Update Unless we flash latest (firmware 0.0.9.26) custom with English translation.

Are you getting notifications ? My alarms are working now . i deleted old alarms and set new one.
[Amazfit] trungquanbds29:
Can you share the latest custom with English translation? I mean firmware 0.0.9.26 EN? the link from post #1 is up to 0.0.9.14 developed by Mauronofrio.

Thanks
[Amazfit] waqasshahzad1986:
I think no one has that version yet .
[Amazfit] trungquanbds29:
Just joined to international group fb and got some useful information. Someone translate into Vietnamese and added some watch faces. Will try it... :D
[Amazfit] waqasshahzad1986:
Great . Do share results here afterwards. good luck
[Amazfit] trungquanbds29:
Just download from that group! 0.0.9.26 En version, thanks [MENTION=883467]Yener[/MENTION] Durak
[Amazfit] waqasshahzad1986:
Oh wow . Let me Flash and let you know the results. Thanks

It worked great. Everything is in English now .

*Notifications are still broken for ios .

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Finally Notifications are working on ios .

Stupid watch was not auto connecting to Bluetooth .

(Iphone Users Only)

Here is what i did after flashing 0.0.9.26 En version or any version.

1. Unpaired from android and pair with iphone .

2. Open MiFit app let the watch sync .

3. Set Discoverable to off from MiFit app -> Profile -> Amazfit Bip -> Discoverable and close mifit app .

4. Go to iphone Settings -> Bluetooth , Forget device (Amazfit Bip Watch).

5. Open MiFit app and let it sync , Now go to Profile -> Amazfit Bip -> app Alerts .

6. Now check and uncheck app alerts . You will Receive Pairing notification from iphone , Accept it .

It will fix your notifications issue.

* NOTE: You may get Pairing request at any point after removing Bluetooth device and opening mifit app . just accept it .
[Amazfit] trungquanbds29:
Just updated, it worked great!

I try some other res file, almost of 9.14 and 9.26 res file is ok.

no Chinese back ^^

p/s: I did step 4 before step 3, it worked fine
[Amazfit] fopoku2k2:
Official English support is here. All You need to do is update your mi fit app. Just follow instructions below

1. Install mifit apk version 3.1.3 on a Android phone;

2. Change the phone language to English;

3. Use the mifit app to pair with the watch

4. After synchronize the UI language on the watch will become English. 100% English.

This update is currently only available for Android phones. The manufacture is still working on iOS. I will keep you update if there is any news.

If you cannot find the update in GOOGLE PLAY, you can download from this site

Hi All,

I have a chinese version of this watch. I upgrade it to 0.09.26 EN. I flashed only the .fw file.

The watch is full english. My problem is the following: The caller's name does not see in the watch. Only this message: "Incoming call" - Hang up/Ignore

What do you suggest? What should I do to read on the wtach the caller's name?
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
You need a modded MiFit app, that allows to access your contacts

Hi all,

Thanks so much for this most precious topic.

I have a problem after upgrading to English version 0.09.26. My Bip cannot track my sleep anymore. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
[Amazfit] SClare:
Great work, thanks!
[Amazfit] MarcusOptimus:
Is it also for Amazfit Midong Band (Cor) or only for Amazfit Bip?
[Amazfit] fopoku2k2:
I only tried it on the amazfit bip. you can also try it and see
[Amazfit] tiotiotio:
Update for all,

To solve this issue, just change the setting of calendar to Gregorian. Then, the sleep track works well.

I confim that the 0.09.26 EN version works very well.

PS. I use IOS
[Amazfit] rozaimi00:
When I sync my Bip to mi fit after done, it revert back to chinese version. Why?
[Amazfit] tiotiotio:
Make sure that the FW you upgraded to the watch is newer than the one in app. If the FW in the app is newer, it will automatically update the watch to the version in Mifit app which is Chinese.
[Amazfit] CreaB:
Hi there,

after upgrading to modded fw version 0.9.26 i recognize a really high battery drain, but only ant night. I have disabled heart rate measurement in the night but without effect. So Over the day it uses 1-2% but in the night nearly 10%.

Does anybody experience such problems too?

Thanks in advance!
[Amazfit] CaraMuuu:
Hi there. I'm considering purchasing this band. I really appreciate the translation work, and all the reverse engineering effort made with the firmware. I have a question though slightly related to this project (but also a bit offtopic) that will determine my purchase:

- Will it be possible to flash permanently the international version firmware once we get that one? In my language we use a few special characters, so I might benefit form an international version (avoiding the "?" symbol).

Plus, it sounds a bit of a hassle having MiFit automatically reverting to Chinese every time there's a firmware update.

Thanks in advance!
[Amazfit] gh0st85:
I installed the mi fit app version 3.1.3.2 that was posted here and everything stays in english on the watch.
[Amazfit] trungquanbds29:
Yes, this way using Mifit app 3.1.3.2 for android only.

If someone using iOS, they can not change from Chinese to English, the only way to change the language is "borrow the android phone and then flash modded fw ver 9.26 en, after flashed fw and res file --> unpair with android --> enjoy with iOS!
[Amazfit] nai28:
Hi

I already instal 9.26 firmware

But the icon name is gone.

Any advice to bring em back?

[Amazfit] martin.velvet:
Hi there, need help here.

After installing latest 3.1.3.2 from APKmirror, auto FW-update and then manually flashing latest EN forced firmware (0.0.9.23) my watch doesn't vibrate anymore. I tried even reverting to old 0.0.8.88 FW and reflashing up to the latest, but no luck. Half of the use for me is for notifications so now my BIP is completelly useless. Can anyone help me?

EDIT:

Seems to be hardware related - one tender slap brought back vibrations back... Ugh
[Amazfit] fopoku2k2:

[Amazfit] fopoku2k2:

[Amazfit] cmit37:
See attached for watch faces.
[Amazfit] buneech:
By the looks of it, maybe someone could (in the future) create custom watch faces? As when you apply a face from this screen it always syncs it to your watch, and it says syncing DIAL.
[Amazfit] frofa:
thanks - nice ones, indeed. I especially like the second and third one. Do you know if they are in addition to the original watchfaces, or do they replace them?
[Amazfit] buneech:
They are in addition.

I'm currently using the second one.

In addition and I am also using the second watch face :good:
[Amazfit] Januh:
Guys iam sorry for the little offtopic but... does this smartwatch can get the notifications of facebook messenger or whatsapp?
[Amazfit] plympton:
Love the automatic english firmware update. These guys rock. Anyone figure out how to do 12 hour time?
[Amazfit] Dozzell:
It depends. From my experience, the MiFit app on android allows you to select 4 or 5 apps to push notifications to the watch, but the iOS app uses a switch called `apps` which when on pushes any notifications you have set to appear in iOS notification centre, to the watch.
[Amazfit] fleischbanane:
Did I get it right, that I can buy a Chinese version, flash the English firmware and it will stay Englisch and receive OTA updates through the Mi Fit app?
[Amazfit] Dozzell:
0.9.38 iOS problem

This would be a brilliant update BUT since updating, the watch is showing a phone icon with a two way arrow to a watch icon with a red x in it. Underneath it says "Connect App to update resources ".

The app IS connected, and shows it syncs OK. It has twice completed the A-GPS update, so I don't think that's the problem either. I can get back to the watch face and menu by long press on the side button to open activity, then short press the side button to go back to the watch face, but the " Connect App.."message comes back after 20secs and stays on the screen. Basically its not practically usable as is. I've tried everything I can think of; impairing and pairing again, unpairing reinstalling the app then pairing again, paired to a different phone, charged the watch to 100%, all sorts. Is anyone else getting this error?

I'm using iOS.
[Amazfit] MSpider65:
Yes, but when i change back the phone language to my language (Italian in my case) after few minutes the watch revert to Chinese again

Hi!

I have a problem with the Amazfit Bip english firmware update.

I did the instruction. When I installed the .fw, the watch turned off, but didn't reboot. :crying:

What can I do now?

it's officially bricked :crying:
[Amazfit] Marabou:
Watch switches back to Chinese when setting Lanuage different than English

Can confirm this issue - the same for me (when switching the language in Android settings to German in my case). With the 0.0.9.14 English custom firmware before there was no problem.

Any idea how to fix that? Seems we have to:

- wait for a custom firmware 0.0.9.40 in English

or

- wait for another update of Mi Fit which allows to set the watch language manually

or

- using Gadgetbridge instead of Mi Fit
[Amazfit] sauliiin:
Hi mate! I dont have the bip yet, but I think it worths try setting only mi fit to english with xposed locale. Pehaps, you can trick the app and keep the english firmware. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zhangfx.xposed.applocale&hl=pt_BR

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

Hi! How was its battery level? Pehaps, it fully discharged during the process.... Some amazfit pace had the same problem and this guy solved it just cleaning the plugs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-85tWF_JDM

If doenst solves you cold try this http://dorylabs.com/unbrick-xiaomi-amazfit-pace-huami-amazfit-smartwatch/, but with the english fiormware of this topic or you should try contacting gearbest for a replacing.

Good luck

Amazfit Bip problem

Hi Everyone!

I have written an e-mail to the Huami Support Team (support@huami.com). The answer is arrived:

"Thank you for contacting Amazfit.

We are very sorry that you have trouble with your device.

If the screen turned off, you can charge the device to have a try.

If it doesn't work, please make the watch untouched about 36 hours to let the battery drains and then charge it to see if it solves the issue.

Hope this infor helps.

Please let us know if you need any additional assistance. Cheers and have an excellent day!"
[Amazfit] sauliiin:
Good luck, friend! Give us feedback. I don't think the bip is dead... It not easy to completely kill an hardware. I think that that if was jus a problem flashing the firmware you would get stuck at logo or bootloop.
[Amazfit] Perder:
Try to connect via Gadgetbridge and install 9.40 res.

I have found it in the Facebook Group.

I don't know if i am allowed to post the link here.
[Amazfit] bancelin:
Same problème ???
[Amazfit] frofa:
For the time being there is no need to install these alternative firmwares, as the latest official version of MiFit automatically changes the whole watch to English when it is paired for the first time, and the language of the phone is set to English.
[Amazfit] PatanDog:
Please, someone can tell me where the zh-cn2en.txt file is? Is there in the .fw file? How can extract this file?
[Amazfit] wodd82:
Wehen I updated it , it was still Chines. That was the reason why I tried to install the altenative. But I had before also the alternative installed. Maybe that was the reason .
[Amazfit] Freejack77:
And it does not switch back to chinese, when changing the phone language to an other than english?

Have you tried any app to trick mi fit? Need root or xposed... App setting and others can set per app language. Set MIT fit to English, perhaps that can help.
[Amazfit] MSpider65:
Xposed and Nougat Rom isn't a good option and there isn't any language option in MI Fit. At the end i've installed a modded Italian firmware and using the last official MI Fit everything is ok.
[Amazfit] sauliiin:
Well... If you have root... I recommend trying. Have been using xposed for nougat since it was unofficial and now is out a official version from rovo witch totally stable! ;).

What I mean is not only change the language of the app, but try to trick it to make it think that your system is still in English.

Hopefully, my bip will arrive this or next week and I will be able to play around
[Amazfit] Kéno40:
Mine just arrived now.

Seeing post above, I'll wait a few days before doing the stuff...

I have set my phone to english and wait till it full pass to english this way.
[Amazfit] frofa:
yes, it does change back to Chinese I guess, but that doesn't bother me because I have all my electronic equipment running in English anyway. Even though I am German, I usually understand the English "original" software much better than the mostly crappy translations to German :)
[Amazfit] Luc3as:
Special characters handling

Hello guys, I just want to ask, I don't know how far can you modify the firmware, I though about handling special characters like russians and Latin extendet character set, I understand it is not possible to add font or more characters, but I solved similar problem at php called transliteration , by that I mean it would be great if we could swap ľščťžý for example to lsctzy charracters, thus displaying would be okay.

thank you
[Amazfit] frofa:
that would be helpful indeed. I often get notifications in Greek, which works for most characters, but not vowels with a "tonos" (ά έ ί ό ύ).
[Amazfit] bolehan:
Hi guys,

How do I set 12-hour time display format on the watch?

I have tried all digital watch faces but all use 24-hour time format. I couldn't find an option on the watch or in the MiFit app to switch to 12-hour time format..

Looks like a major oversight on Xiaomi's part

use an analog watch face - they're all 12-hour by default.

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------

That's interesting - I use the same firmware (or better: used it until earlier today, before I updated to 0.9.49) and my pedometer is very exact. It gives me basically identical readings to a MiBand 2, and a bit more than a iWown7 (that is known to count a few steps less). I'm using Android, but I doubt that could make a difference as the pedometer works autonomously in the watch.

Hi,

Did you tested it?

I asked something to the dev but no answer...
[Amazfit] rainbow99:
it seems that there are gadgetbridge, notify and fitness pro and now Miband tools. I don't mind paying a few dollars for an app, but the pros and cons between these are not so clear. Can any bro advise which is better? For me, the main usage would be for notification management. Best is if an app is able to read last x notifications from the Bip. Sometimes the notifications go past too quickly and/or the default mifit cannot display the text of multiple concurrent notifications. Thanks.
[Amazfit] javlada:
I flashed the English firmware. Unfortunately as many others also described here, after flashing the .fw file, the watch did not restart but just turned off a won't turn on again. Is there really no chance to save it? Thank you.

There is no reason to flash modded English firmware. English is already supported by the original firmware. Use instead my modded MiFit app that forces the Bip to English even if the phone language is different.
