I'm using BeiDou as well. At the beginning of workouts its sometimes 2 secs, but if you scroll halfway down its 3 to 8 second delay.

Regarding your Strava, I can't download the original GPX of your workout, only you can do that.

I am aware than in Zepp the map is terrible, and in Strava it looks better, but it still isn't anywhere near where it should be.

If they offer 1 second tracking, that's what they should be doing.

As you can see, the smallest gap is 3 seconds, the largest is 9. And this is in trail running where such big gaps cause big accuracy problems. I don't care if the watch "thinks" you didn't move enough to justify recording a point, I want 1 second tracking which is what the watch says its would do. My workouts are ALWAYS shorter than everyone else's runs because of this.
[Amazfit] winni21:
i've checked my GPX the Workout starts recording every second no pb and i have no more than 3 s of delay rare 4s, most of the time it is 2S, i'm in Galilleo and smart mode. Did you try in smart mode? perhaps it is different?

Both cycling and running have the same things.

Try in smart mod instead of ultra
[Amazfit] Number2138:
I have tried smart mode, that's how I use it. I don't use ultra mode as I need to be able to follow routes on the watch. The fact that you have 3-4 second delays is a problem itself. It should be 1 sec at all times.
[Amazfit] kulaki0:
I am like others only using the watch on untra mode since several months because of the notifications being broken on normal mode. I have actually lost hope that will get ever fixed...

Apart from that I don't have any other big issues with the watch, I run 3/4 times a week and the GPS accuracy is acceptable. I do get a small distance discrepancy with Strava but it is not big +-0.02km and if importing to Runkeeper or Endomondo will never be exact same distance. So each uses a slight different algorithm with the same data
[Amazfit] kulaki0:
I do have however recently noticed that the watch goes into normal mode by itself and I have to enable ultra mode again. Anyone else faced this issue?
[Amazfit] yngwie_m:
Hello all. Got the Stratos 3 as a gift about 3 weeks ago. Left it move to 4.2.8.0 by itself because it asked me to.

Have properly input my characteristics in the Zepp app (including heart rate zones).

Have gotten a VO2 max reading on my first three runs, but since then the watch refuses to output the VO2 max on every subsequent run. It outputs Training Load and Training Effect and Recovery times, but no VO2.

Tried unpairing, realised it needed factory reset to pair again. Did it. No change.

Then after a couple of days did another factory reset with no unpairing. Still no VO2.

Anyone can give a hint if anyone has one?
[Amazfit] Celloz:
VO2MAX Is calculated only in "Outdoor Running" activity. You have also to run 10 minutes with an heart rate > 75% of FCMAX. If in the stratos appears the data you can sync directly from the watch and then open Zepp app and do a swipe down to sync.
[Amazfit] yngwie_m:
Have done multiple 5km runs since those 3 first trainings, always on outdoor runs and always at top zone 4- low zone 5 so 80-90% of HR max. And it takes me way longer than 10 mins to finish 5km.

To give you a perspective since I trained casually, my only three readings put my VO2 max at 35 only. So not a seasoned runner.

It baffles me that I get all other metrics except VO2 max readings and race predictions.

Had some predictions during those first 3 runs that went all the way up to marathon times. Resetted the watch twice since then, lost VO2 max and race time predictions.

As i said in my initial post, all other Firstbeat calculations (training load, training effect and recovery) show up every time and correctly.
[Amazfit] butcher33:
I have the stratos for about half a year now and for the last couple of months it started to act strange. The main problem is that the time and distance ob zepp and strava ste way off. If I run 10km I usually have to go a bit further for strava to get to 10km. If go for a hike and it lasts for 2 hours with an hour of stopped time, I get like 1.5h of activity in strava and of the zepp distance is 8km, strava distance is 6. Sometimes I also lose GPS signal during hikes.

Did a factory reset but there is no difference.

Because of these glitches I have some absurd records on strava.

Any clue what could be the issue here?
[Amazfit] Ciccle893:
Goodmorning everyone. A few days ago I bought a stratos 3 4.2.8.0. At first it didn't synchronize workouts and now after a few resets I managed to fix it but I noticed that it stopped recording a walk after about 7 minutes'. Furthermore, the barometer does not work well and does not recognize the scale plans made well. Do you have the same problems? Do you know if there will be updates soon? Which firmware version should I use? Thanks in advance.
[Amazfit] Celloz:
The 4.2.8 is the last firmware since long time. Anyone know if Huami have to release a new firmware. The altimeter have some problem, if you see the altitude with the screen locked it is different if the screen Is unlocked during activity. I haven't the stop of activity problem.
[Amazfit] lindomaroliveira:
It's funny. Seems that factory reset on stratos 3 doesn't really reset everything.

I wonder if deep flash does a better job reseting stratos 3.

@Saratoga79 what do you think?
[Amazfit] dolezelt:
I have a question about skiing.

When I choose skiing - only downhill track is recorder

When I choose cross country ski - all track is recorded but to the total length is counted only for downhill part. So after hours of skiing a have total distance only 0,3 km (Strava shows correct length). Watches and also ZEPP shows incorrect length.

What is interesting watches shows in activity screen Cross country ski, then date and time and then downhill so i looks like that is picked downhill profile for cross country ski. And the data are like for downhill.

Skiing is similar (data for downhill) but only descent track is saved.

This does not make a sense. Does anyone has same behavior of this sports?

If this is a normal behavior than amazfit developers are total idiots.
[Amazfit] Saratoga79:
What do you mean?

The fact is that a factory reset in fastboot or /data wipe bricks the watch, maybe Ultra mode related.

Deep flash will erase everything but this method is risky if you are not bricked.

Most probably is a wrong implementation of the algorithm and data. Did you test all winter sport activities?
[Amazfit] dolezelt:
I tested skiing a cross country skiing and it seems that both uses downhill profile for processing and saving data ( i suppose that watches only finds repeating patterns and then process data according choosed sport = sport profile = template).

==> cross country skiing should be only renamed running profile but amazfit use downhill profile

I have huge problem with amazfit now because using downhill profile for cross country skiing means that they don't know much about sports. So their competence to make sport testers equals to zero.
[Amazfit] dolezelt:
All winter sports with ski have (on the watches) mileage assigned as downhill and total downhill. So all profiles measures only downhill distance.

- downhill

- ski

- skiing

- cross country skiing

That means, that all sports are measured as downhill.

This is huge error not corrected from september 2020 (date of releasing firmware). Amazfit is maybe waiting for summer.
[Amazfit] dolezelt:
I did a little research....

In ZEPP app are listed only 17 sports and only one (skiing) as sport with ski (watches shows 4 sports with ski). As a measured units (for distance) are listed only single descent and total descent (under skiing) and that is what watches measures for all ski sports. There is no other profile for skiing in app....

Whole problem looks like that only 17 sport templates exists in total. Another sports are only renamed templates for other sport (that is not problem when for each sports is used right template and problem is that it is not)

I am almost sure that watches only looks for repeating patterns during activity (= strokes, steps etc, ) and what to measure, save and how to counts is defined in sport templates. And even if Amazfit claims that watches can handle about 80 sports there only 17 templates exists and some of them are wrong used for additional sports.

Conclusion is:

Amafit has huge problem with software at APP side and with data processing (APP is worse and worse during time).

Stratos is not sporttester (can you imagine similar problem eg with Garmin watches). (Firmware is from September 2020, there is no patch for almost 4 months, Amazfit maybe waits for summer)

Problem shows that Amazfit does not understand or does not care what to measure during sport activity.
[Amazfit] thedaysse:
Yes - twice now I've tried to record cross country skiing, 40 minutes, just loops around a football field. Both time it refused to save due to "not enough loops", I then tried it at the end of a run - same thing. It's no big deal for me - I can use walking instead and change it on strava but cross country skiing is /dev/null on my stratos 3
[Amazfit] Number2138:
This is due to a problem that's part of Pace, Stratos and Stratos 3. All three these watches use the same ecosystem, the same software apart from a few small differences. The watches are supposed to, during an activity, to record a GPS point every second. They don't. I do believe Strava reinterprets the workouts as it gets synced to Strava, but with these three watches only recording GPS points every 3 to 9 second, this leaves a lot of room for Strava to rework the numbers. With a watch like Bip/Bip S that records a GPS point EVERY SECOND, this doesn't leave any room for Strava to reinterpret the workout. Whenever I do a run with my Bip or Bip S, what it says on the watch is what is says in Strava afterwards. If there is a difference it isn't more than 10 meters regardless how long the workout was. Sometimes Strava even gives me MORE distance than what the watch says. With Pace, Stratos and Stratos 3, you can easily loose hundreds of meters during a workout.

I have reported this problem to Amazfit/Huami numerous times and keep hearing "our developers are trying to find the problem". Guys, it really can't be that hard to find.

I have asked them to issue a fix for Pace, Stratos and Stratos 3. Using the same software, if they can find the error in any of the watches, the other watches would have the same problem in the same part of the code.
[Amazfit] dolezelt:
Strava "measures" shorter distance almost always for me. Statos 2 or 3 measures shorter distance than google maps (or alternative).

I usually run 3 km run (watch measure) that is actually 3.070 to 3.170 km run. That is difference about 30 sec in time...

Stratos 3 measures distance better (3 km measured as 3.020 to 3.1 km).

I have got the same answer about another problem. It looks like that Amazfit is focusing for increasing market share with new products now and software development leaves somewhere behind. Another problem is that ZEPP software is not pointed for sportster but for causal watches (sport activity os hidden etc.)

It looks like that Xiaomi has similar opinion to Huami "problem" because new Xiaomi watches do not look like Huami products (or are not branded as Amazfit) but only
[Amazfit] GiovaniMM:
Esteemed,

When I synchronize my run on the zepp, the following is happening: the route is totally leaving the path I passed. The solution I am finding is to export the race straight from the clock. Does anyone have this problem on zepp?

Regards,
[Amazfit] the_gunners:
i've the same issue with GTS 2e, when using for outdoor cycling the distance always shorten when sync to strava. It can loose a hundred meters up to few kilometers.

any one use trex ? i wonder it has the same issues or no ?
[Amazfit] lindomaroliveira:
Isn't this related to 3D data? Strava has his own altitude map and adjust distance considering his map.

There is an option on amazfit to enable 3D data, but I don't know if this helps the case.
[Amazfit] docky666:
Maybe It can help: I came back to 4.2.5.0 and my last workout recorded every two seconds. After syncing with strava it was exactly the same distance. I didn't notice any flat corners neither.
[Amazfit] the_gunners:
i believe only few of them has this option, unfortunately gts 2e doesn't have it.
[Amazfit] Dimberetz:
Good evening friends! I also bought this watch for cycling training mainly but I found it to be a scam! The watch has 80 sports without being able to display data for all of them, it just boasts that it has many sports. The main problem with cycling is that it does not recognize the Cadence And Speed sensors. The above sensors are the main cause of indoor measurement. pedal rate is also an important element for cyclists. Another nonsense that this watch has is that it tries to locate GPS in the internal cycling profile, for what reason? Has anyone connected Bluetooth Cadence and Speed sensors to the watch? I imagine NO !!!

Stratos 3

Firmware 4.2.8.0
[Amazfit] Celloz:
First of all, Stratos 3 can connect only Bluetooth devices, in particular heart belts and headphones. The official supported sports are 19/20, the others are only the same with different name.
[Amazfit] Dimberetz:
Yes of course Cellos! The Cadence and the Speed Sensor is BLE and ANT+.
[Amazfit] MrOtto123:
Amazfit support still can't say if they will fix "cross country skiing" activity (sport mode requires "laps" to be completed before it will save, when you end activity so activity is not saved). They tell me instead to buy "Amazfit T-rex Pro" which has "unlimited cross country mode"

Tempted to return this **** watch to dealer claiming false advertising because of unusable cross country skiing mode.

Hello everyone, today I present my new creation: we are talking about a tool that allows you to do many things , from the bootloader to flash the factory image , comfortably. Now you're probably asking: but there are already other tools available...

But only for Bootloader Unlock process, other features like Factory Reset may brick your Stratos 3.

[Amazfit] jaytee86:
Sorry, another question (scared to brick the watch):

When using All in One-Tool, do I have to boot the watch into fastboot mode?

And after I'm done unlocking the bootloader, should I restart the watch or should I stay in fastboot mode to flash the firmware?
[Amazfit] Saratoga79:
I have never used the tool before but I think all unlock process should be done automatically.
[Amazfit] jaytee86:
I tried it but without success. It boots into fastboot but then it doesn't recognize the watch anymore. Screen is stuck at "waiting for any device".

Long pressing the power button restarts the watch, fortunately.

I managed it.

What I had to do was go into "device manager" and manually select the adb drivers and choose "fastboot interface" every time the device was in fastboot.

Hi all,

I created a modified version of Aurora Services (a system app developed by the Aurora Store team in order to enable apk installation from the Aurora Store or Aurora Droid without user interaction).

My version runs as a user app and uses local adb wifi shell in order to install apps without any user interaction, it also allows batch concurrent updates/installs.

It's of course open source in GitLab and Github.

Install instructions:

Download and install the lasted apk from Github Releases

Enable adb wifi from a computer (this needs to be done every time the phone is restarted) -

adb tcpip 5555

Launch the Aurora Services app and follow the instructions

Whitelist Aurora Store and AuroraDroid

Select Aurora Services as installation method in Aurora Store and AuroraDroid

Enjoy PlayStore like experience on your Huawei!

Feel free to report issues here and on GitLab and Github but note that this project won't be very actively supported.
