Modern smart watches have evolved from a simple pedometer into a full-fledged addition to a smartphone, allowing you to answer incoming calls without taking the phone out of your pocket. For owners of devices based on Android the process of synchronization with the application Wearfit Pro usually goes smoothly, but sometimes requires careful attention to notification settings. The correct configuration allows you to hear your interlocutor through the watch speaker or use the gadget as a headset, which is especially convenient while driving or while playing sports.
The main difficulty often lies not in the application itself, but in the aggressive energy saving policies implemented by smartphone manufacturers. The system Android can forcefully close background processes, which leads to loss of connection and no sound signal when there is an incoming call. Understanding these nuances will help you avoid common mistakes and ensure stable operation of communication functions.
In this guide, we will analyze in detail all stages of connection, from initial pairing to fine-tuning system permissions. You will learn how to activate Bluetooth calls for conversations through the watch and how to correctly configure the display of the caller's name. Following the algorithm of actions ensures that you do not miss a single important conversation.
Primary preparation and pairing of devices
Before attempting to make your first call, you must ensure a stable connection between your smartphone and your wearable device. The basic condition is that the Bluetooth module is enabled on both gadgets. You should not rely on automatic search through the phone’s system menu, since full operation requires a connection through a proprietary application.
Install the application Wearfit Pro from the official store Google Play or by scanning the QR code from the instructions. After registering your account, go to the adding device section. At this moment, a pairing request may appear on the watch screen, which must be confirmed by clicking on the green checkmark.
⚠️ Attention: If you see two identical watch names in the list of Bluetooth devices on your phone, delete (forget) both profiles and start the process again. Double pairing often causes a protocol conflict, which may prevent audio from being transmitted during a call.
It is important to ensure that the phone's operating system version meets the minimum requirements. For the correct operation of communication functions, it is often required Android 6.0 or higher. Also make sure your watch is not set to Do Not Disturb mode, which may block vibration and incoming call sound.
Setting permissions in the Wearfit app Pro
After successfully connecting the device, in the main menu of the application you need to activate specific permissions for working with telephony. Without this step, the watch will only receive notifications about missed calls, but will not be able to signal an incoming call in real time.
Go to the “My” or “Profile” section, select your device and find the “Manage Notifications” or “Call Settings” item. Here you need to activate the slider next to the “Phone” or “System call” item. In some versions of the interface, this option may be called Call Alert.
- 📱 Make sure that the "Allow notifications" slider at the very top of the screen is turned on.
- 🔔 In the list of applications for notifications, find “Phone” and activate it.
- 📞 Separately check the presence of the “Incoming calls” item and make sure it is ticked.
Particular attention should be paid to the item Permission to access contacts. If you want the watch to display the name of the caller rather than just the phone number, you need to give the app access to the device's phone book. Without this permission, the Caller ID functionality will not work.
If the caller's name is not displayed, try saving the contact to the SIM card memory or the main Google account, and not just to the phone memory, since some watch models read these sources better.
Configuring Android system settings
The system Android has a complex access rights management system that can block the operation of smart watches. Even if all the settings in the application are set correctly, the operating system may prohibit the transmission of an audio stream or the display of pop-up windows.
Go to the main settings of your smartphone, select the "Applications" section, find it in the list Wearfit Pro and go to "Permissions". Here, it is critical to provide access to the microphone, contacts and phone. Lack of permission to use a microphone will make it impossible to talk through the watch, turning it into a simple vibrator.
A separate section of the settings is “Notifications”. Inside it, you must allow notifications to be displayed on the lock screen and in the status bar. Some shells, such as MIUI or OneUIhave additional filters that can hide system notifications from third-party applications.
☑️ Checking system permissions
Optimizing battery life and background mode
The most common reason for lost calls is the application being put to sleep by the system to save battery. If Wearfit Pro does not have the right to run in the background, it will not be able to monitor the incoming signal while you are using other apps or the phone screen is turned off.
In the battery settings, find the application and select the operating mode "No restrictions" or "Do not optimize." On smartphones Xiaomi i Huawei you must also enable application autorun and lock it in memory (lock in the list of running applications) so that the system does not close the memory cleaning process.
| Manufacturer | Path to setup | Required action |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung | Battery → Background restrictions | Applications in deep sleep → Uninstall Wearfit Pro |
| Xiaomi | Applications → Autostart | Enable slider for Wearfit Pro |
| Huawei | Battery → Launch applications | Disable automatic control |
| Realme | Battery → More → Optimization | Select "Do not optimize" |
⚠️ Attention: Shell interfaces Android is constantly updated. If you do not find an exact match of the paths, look for similar sections related to energy saving or memory protection.
It is also recommended to disable the energy saving mode for the Bluetooth module itself, if such an option is present in the advanced settings of your phone. This will ensure a more stable connection and less delay in transmitting a signal about an incoming call.
Solving problems with sound and microphone
The situation when the watch vibrates, but the sound is not transmitted, or the interlocutor cannot hear you, is often solved by reconnecting the profile HFP (Hands-Free Profile). Sometimes the phone connects the watch only for data transfer, ignoring the audio channel.
In the Bluetooth menu on your phone, click on the gear icon next to the name of the watch. Make sure the Media Sound and Call Sound switches are enabled. If the problem persists, try in the settings of the application itself Wearfit Pro find the "Bluetooth calls" item and toggle it by turning it off and on again.
- 🔊 Check the multimedia volume and call volume on the watch - these are different channels.
- 🎤 Make sure that the microphone hole on the watch body is not blocked strap or dirt.
- 🔄 Rebooting both devices often resets the erroneous states of the Bluetooth stack.
If you use third-party calling applications, such as Viber, Telegram or WhatsApp, they are configured separately in the application notifications section. They will also need permission to access the microphone, otherwise the watch will only work as an audio control, but not as a headset.
Why does the watch wheeze when talking?
Wheezing or intermittent sound is often caused by interference from a Wi-Fi router or microwave oven operating at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Try moving away from the source of interference or switching your router to 5 GHz. Also, the reason may be the low battery charge of the watch, when the voltage is not enough for high-quality operation of the amplifier.
Additional functions and call control
Modern models with support Wearfit Pro offer advanced management functionality. You can not only accept or reject a call, but also mute the microphone during a call or switch to the phone speaker without interrupting the connection.
The watch interface usually has volume buttons that allow you to adjust the audio level of your interlocutor directly from your wrist. Some models support manual dialing or voice calling through an assistant, if this function is implemented in the device firmware.
For users who are often in noisy places, the noise reduction function is useful. It activates automatically when you start a call, cutting out background noise so your voice sounds clearer. However, in very windy weather, it is better to use manual mode or switch to the phone.
The stability of calls depends not only on the application settings, but also on the firmware version of the watch. Check the Software Update section of the Wearfit Pro app regularly for communication error fixes.
