I would like a widget in which to place shortcuts to commonly used apps.

Anyone aware of something like that, usable on the watch ?

Also, is it just me, or ....?

When watch receives some notification it vibrates and many times I don't even have the chance to take a look at it (if I wear a coat), that it already switches off screen, and sometimes even returns to watchface screen.

Thanks

Mightymse007 u said we can get custom watch faces how is this so . And I'm glad we got blue tooth tethering support in the 3.0 only if xposed framework worked for mips then we could use a module called something like x connectivity hack or some thing like that to use blue tooth Internet for email and play store also has anyone moved geek78 root and gapps over to 3.0 and seen if it works?
[Other SmartWatches] mghtymse007:
The watch faces on the Z are simple widgets...easily modifiable. Or you can just create ur own.

The battery is quite often draining too fast for many reasons. I had the problem that it drained from 20-30% to 0% in some seconds. I calibrated the battery with Akku HD Pro by Smalltech. Battery Life Repair by Blackmart Studio gives also extra power. Both need wifi when running.

Somebody please suggest a app that can be installed on watch to control PHONE SETTINGS like wifi, blutooth, gps, mobile data, volume, ringing mode.

Something like this..

Under normal usage (wifi off), the battery lasts 1.5-2.0 days.

If you just want to install apps on watch, go the easy way. First remove all the drivers you have installed on your pc. Connect your watch to pc. It would be recognised as a mass storage device. Copy the apk you want to install to watch. Remove the watch from pc. Now on the watch navigate to the apk you just transferred using the file manager. Click on the .apk, watch would ask you to allow installation from unknown sources. Permit it to do so. Go back to your apk and install. If you want to uninstall, use some third party uninstaller (you need to install one seperately). Hope this helps.

@drmpk of what fw version did you make your own? did you just edit the update zip?

I am getting my watch this week. I know I asked about the mic before, did anyone find a keyboard for example that can be used for dictation via the builtin mic? I am using swype on my phone and it is also great for voice to text, both in English and Hungarian, and I'm sure many more
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
Factory reset doesnt take you back to original version. It will remain on the current version.

What I did was restoring on the pc with restore tool. That took me back to 1.8.

Then I placed the update.zip (stock version 3.0 modified by me) on the watch and did a firmware upgrade on watch.

You cant delete sms and contacts as they are synced from your phone. They are not stored on watch. If you dont want them on your watch you can untick them on sync application in watch.

update to 3.0?

i currently have the US version of 2.5 on my watch. along with other apks like email, aqumail, clockfaces, facebook ,battery level, etc. If i do the upgrade to 3.0 which is apparently only available on the chinese site, am i going to lose all my apps? and will the update reinstall those stupid chinese apps? if so, am i better off just keeping the watch at ver 2.5? i dint even know what the changes are with 3.0. any help would be appreciated. thanks
[Other SmartWatches] mghtymse007:
I have also stayed with Eng.v2.5. But only because the watch is running perfectly. If 3.0 had more enhancements, I would upgrade. Plus, I wanted to wait and see what issues, if any, KK had.

If you install the 3.0 update, you will keep your apps, but the Chinese stuff will be reloaded.

Updating is entirely up to you. If everything is running perfect...then why try to fix it??

thanks! i think i agree. everything is running smooth with 2.5 so i'm not going to upgrade to 3.0. thanks for confirming my thoughts :)

Hi everybody,

I just received my SmartQ Z, ordered on SmartQme and received 11 day later in France.

I updated in V3.0. All is right but I can not install a keyboard like Graffiti or Flit Keyboard on the watch ???

I can install and configured this app but the keyboard do not show when I am on input text on the watch ?

I saw that some have keyboard app installed. How to use Flit keyboard or Graffiti keyboard on the watch ?

(I use the input keyboard from the Android compagnon app but I want a keyboard on the watch)

Thank you for your answers ;)
[Other SmartWatches] SumCanadianGuy:
Just thought I'd share, I only leave my watch on during work, from about 7:30 am until 5:30 pm and I shut it off when I get home. No wifi on, half brightness no sideloaded apps on 3.0 I'm on my second day without charging and I'm at 50% battery left. So in theory the way I use it I should get 4 days on a charge. Seems like reasonable battery life, although I would like to have the screen always on.

Sorry, I just find the answer on Google (not grant to post link)

Just need to install Quick Keyboard Switch to change the defaut keyboard.

I have finally using my watch.

I upgraded to 3.0 then installed drmpk's pack with gapps.

Few problems:

1 When someon calls I can't pick up, I click the button but nothing happens.

2 I've tried a BT keyboard when it still had 1.7 or 2.5 FW, I am not sure. Then it worked flawlessly, but on my current setup it seems to pair but just doesn't work.

3 Not a big thing, but album cover only shows when I use GoogleMusic or Spotify but not for PowerAMP. I think I've read it works for most people. I have a legal license for PowerAMP from outside of Google Market/Play (in Hungary we were not allowed to pay on Market a year ago), could this be the cause?

Any thoughts?

BTW where do we stand on putting a bigger battery in the watch? I would contribute somehow if I can
[Other SmartWatches] mghtymse007:
1. Do you have an HTC? Known issue...not sure where SmartQ is addressing this....all S-watches have this problem with Sense.

2. SmartQ's latest release is utilizing Kitkat 4.4. A number of bug fixes are addressed in 4.4.1 and 4.4.2....I'm sure they'll release an update very soon.

3. I've seen some posts about album art back a few pages...take a look

As far as a bigger battery goes...I've contacted 4 separate manufacturers of custom li-polys. The first couple were a waste of time due to language barriers....but the last two have been helpful. If we want a bigger battery, without cutting a massive hole in your watch, custom is the only way to go. There's quite a bit of empty space inside the watch's cavity. However, due to the charging port and sensors, the available space isn't square or regular shaped. With the initial measurements I have given them, they estimate a 500-600mAh can fit. I'm in the process of making a couple dummy batteries that I'll send to the battery co when done. The biggest issue facing us is the minimum order amount for customs. We can't just order 1-5 units. Once I get a price, minimum quantity and maximum mAh, I will post here.

If I can get a preliminary count of how many of you are interested in this mod...it would help.
[Other SmartWatches] Jamesch:
1 Yes I have an HTC One X, didn't read about this problem before, not a big deal though.

2 Did anyone else had trouble with BT keyboards on the new 3.0 FW?

Great news about the battery, I would definitely join. Maybe we could sell the excess amount on ebay, to pandawill etc.

I am also having trouble now with gmail notifications. I received one in the morning, but not the ones since then. What can I try?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
And if a lipo is drilled it explodes ! like this, is very very dangerous...
[Other SmartWatches] Jamesch:
Could it be that I disabled Google Search synchronization? Or maybe that isn't even in the original fw?

Also I have succesfully installed and started SpeedX 3D (I have an older apk, but surely the one from play works as well). It's a fun game that only needs the accelerometer. Problem is the sensor in the watch seems very sensitive or just crap. There is autocalibration in the game and I've set sensitivity to low, but it is still on the unplayable side.
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
I am very sure this is not because of added gapps. I restored the watch and installed stock version 3.0. The issue persists. I restored again and installed stock 2.5. Strangely the issue persisted.:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Now I doubt sync app 1.4.9:p

After restoring the watch infact sync app failed to sync contacts on stock 2.5 and 3.0 roms.

Infact on modded 3.0 with gapps, the contacts synced with gmail account. But still I don't get contact names on receiving call s.

Its confusing.

Hello everyone.

I have again some issues with the watch.

1st) My computers cannot see anymore the watch. they make the noise that something is inserted, but it never shows up on the list on the "This Pc"

2st) Zwatch App syncs , but now everytime I try to deselect some applications not to be synced, the App says "Zwatch app has stopped" and it restarts.
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
Remove all the drivers related to watch, I mean adb drivers too and restart your pc. Attach your watch. hope your pc sees the watch.

Or

Restore your pc to a date before you got the watch. Then Don't install any drivers. Just attach your watch to pc. It should definitely see.

If you see the z1 driver under portable devices (visible only when watch is connected) section of your pc's device management, you are good to go. If it shows a exclamation mark or reads something else with a exclamation mark, right click uninstall, reboot your computer. Connect the watch. This would install drivers fresh.

Your sync app crashing has only one solution. Disable accessibility under android settings... unbind.... clear cache.... clear data.... force close.... uninstall... restart the phone... Reinstall the app... repeat the binding procedure with watch. :)

Can't say I want a little disappointed to find that the battery is really 280mAh...not 300 as advertised. I know it's only 20mAh...but in terms of capacity is 7% less... on average, this watch uses 2-3%/hr with WiFi off or 7-7.5%/hr Wi-Fi on. This can be the difference between making it home and early shut down @ 3pm.

If it was so easy to have a higher capacity battery of say 450 or 500 or 600 mah on a watch, I think any watch manufacturer would have happily adopted to using such batteries. Currently are there any watches which use such high capacity batteries? I don't think they would not have thought of using higher capacity battery on their watch when they put it on paper. It could have been a great marketing strategy for them considering higher capacity batteries which can fit into the space available on watch are already available in the market. There must be some issues associated with using large capacity batteries on a small device like watch worn on the body. May be over heating, may be the chipset or circuit board is sensitive, may be safety issues, may be..............................
