Hello guys,

I have this weird issue: I gave my old Amazfit Bip Lite to my wife. Now the old Mi Fit app had been replaced with Zepp Life app and that's fine. I paired the watch with her phone. The app let me select the smartwatch model, and there's only one choice for both Amazfit Bip and Amazfit Bip Lite.

The app updated the whole watch firmware correctly (15 minutes!), except for the GPS firmware - which I guess should be fine, as the Bip Lite has no integrated GPS hardware.

The thing is, now, EVERY SINGLE TIME she opens Zepp, the app still retries to update GPS firmware. It tooks like 5 minutes every time before failing, during while you can't use both the watch and the app. It looks like the watch has been detected as a Bip and not a Bip lite... and there's no way to change this in the menu.

What can I do now? Any ideas? Deleting and re-pairing the watch didn't help, and waiting 5 mintues every time you open the app...well is painful.

Any help is appreciated, thank you very much!

My mistery is still unsolved... Any help? I was thinking about forcing the installation of an old firmware though notify&fitness app and upgrade the watch from that, but I'm unsure about downgrading, as it looks like a brickful procedure.
