Were you able to maintain water-tightness of the watch?

I have the zWatch, a Metawatch frame and Star K2. So far the zWatch is my favorite and I like it for the water resistance. I do not want to mess it up, but would love to get the extra battery life.

smartq z lite

Hi

I m new here.

I bought a Z1 lite watch. (1.5 firmware)

I have problems with the bluetooth connection. After a while, I didnt get notifications.

it is very annoying.

in this case must be restarted. 2-3 times a day.

have you got any solution?

and forget the calendar events.

thanks

[MENTION=5161038]Jamessuperfun[/MENTION] I'm in the UK and looking to sell my Z1 (mint condition) - It's hardly used anymore since I now work in an environment that doesn't allow wireless devices so I cannot wear the watch to work :(

Let me know if you would be interested.

Restore watch

Hey, is there any way to just delete everything on the watch?

I haven't used the watch for a long while now, and want a clean start.

Is there anything new stuff that are useful for the watch, that have been made in this summer?
[Other SmartWatches] ch3mn3y:
As it has normal android (not wear) in settings u shoul have "backup&reset" menu. There is factory reset option

Sent using TF300T - CyanogenMod 11.0/GEASS (F2FS)
[Other SmartWatches] ofsinreno:
There is a restore tool that takes the watch back to original stock no matter what has been done to it. Then you have to either go through the long process of upgrading one version at a time, or load a custom rom.

And while there has been a little movement with AW, and a few custom roms like DJDroid, there has not been much new this summer.
[Other SmartWatches] BassBlaster:
One version at a time? No, you update directly to the desired firmware. No need for that rubbish.
[Other SmartWatches] pepone1234:
I have seen on indiegogo a funding of a smartwatch with android wear that uses the same ingenic jz4775 SoC than the z watch.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-com-1-android-wear-smart-watch/x/4298895#home

Maybe there is a possibility to port that version of android wear to our watch.
[Other SmartWatches] BassBlaster:
This is great news. If this watch becomes a reality, it will be much easier to port AW to our watch.
[Other SmartWatches] Jamesch:
Hi

I have just started using the new DjDroid ROM and the newest phoneside app and I have two problems:

1 Location info doesn't go through to the watch. Location itself is enabled, but Google location service is grey I can only get in there through some other app, but then it says Location is not enabled, when it is.

2 I think my mic doesn't work driver-wise. If I go into recorder and press record it says Internal application error. Also Google now voice search doesn't work either.

Could it be that I need factory reset? I have just installed DjDroid yesterday without doing that.

Are these 2 things supposed to work?

Hi guys,

is it possible for one of the owners to test if the micoach android app works with this watch? Also has anyone verified that this is a bluetooth 4.0 (aka BLE, Smart) device ?

I want to use it for running with a bluetooth smart heart rate monitor and the micoach app because i dont want to take my galaxy s4 with me.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, actual price of Z watch on TINYDEAL: 71.99 USD
[Other SmartWatches] reggiexp:
okay question

bluetooth tethering works?

like on the galaxy gear?

latest rom is 9.1 for djdroid?

it almost a year that i like the watch.

and at the end i come at galaxy gear or this one.

this one seams beter for battery life.

i want just to repley to textes with a keyboard, and browse the internet on the watch.

thats why i dont like android wear.

i have a oneplus one

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

76€? lite one? or do they convert 99$ into real euros? not just 99€?
[Other SmartWatches] SumCanadianGuy:
Just my 2 cents, but I had this watch for a year and just got a gear 2 neo Saturday and I'm never looking back. Blows zwatch out of the water for battery life. I'm at 18 hours on my gear and still at 71% battery. Zwatch is at 40% in 10 hours. I can't reply to texts with a keyboard on my z without messing with a bunch of stuff to get it to work. On my gear I installed a free app and I can text to my hearts content. Food for thought
[Other SmartWatches] reggiexp:
technicly you can reply texts on smartq z1 with djdroid install a full keybaord, and some sort of app?

ow you can have a keyboard on tizen? and text?

yeah i saw even galaxy gear with tizen has better batteyr life.

and can you browse internet on tizen? maybe i should take a look about tizen than
[Other SmartWatches] SumCanadianGuy:
Like I said, without modification. I didn't have to install a different firmware or root to use a keyboard. Just installed Fleksy. I tried using a browser on zwatch but no point really. So small and slow. Haven't had the desire or need to Web browse on my watch other than to show it to friends as a novelty
[Other SmartWatches] reggiexp:
me its just to read some fast news. maybe i dont find the use for it after all

hum okay. seems like tizen isnt that bad for basics. okay i will need to take a look at tizen. (never looked at it cause it lacks apps.) learning about android wear and i think im never gonna like it.

so that god me back here.

so thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
When I bought it cost $99 so I paid $99 which is 76€ at this moment.

Now I have an LG G-Watch (and also LG R-Watch).

It is more easy to reply or take note with voice command than use a tiny keyboard on an tiny screen ;)

Otherswise it is possible to install a Minuum keybord on wear.

Battery life is bad on Z-Watch. If you use a little it last just one day maybe 18H and with no screen ON like the Wear Watch.
[Other SmartWatches] reggiexp:
yeah just what i tought.

i mean turning screen on and off is anoying.

i still dont why there is no watch with double tape to wake. or swipe. (maybe there are not that i know off)

always on is cool but kill battery. but is usefull at the same time.

ow okay tought it was just 99€ okay that changes all. in the price

but yeah i acualy never seen a video where they use a small 3x4 keybard. like old school 123 456 789 *0# you know, that must type better i think.

yeah but talking to my phone or any thing is not my thing.

never used google now or voice yes to have fun but never for real.

but i just learned that you can reply textes on tizen. (but with a full qwerty keybaord not what i was llooking for) and battery on tizen is better. but tizen sounds boring. just like android wear. or more likely
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Wear can be also used with screen Off. In this way you have just to touch (or tap) screen or also move your arm to light up the screen (exactly like the Z-Watch). In this mode the LG Watch last 3 days.

I have also the Sony SW2, screen alway ON with transflectif display, last between 3 and 5 days. Few app with keyboard to write note, mail or sms.
[Other SmartWatches] reggiexp:
can u reply texts on sony sw2? cause i saw it in a shop touched it and looked stylish and cool.

battery is great cause its low hard ware. like 133mhz cpu if not less 8mb ram.

but there are not lots of apps are there? i looked at it the forum. but could find a lot of interesting thing i was looking for.

screen on the lg watch can go off? (not completly cause it has no butons..)
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
There are many, many many.... apps for the SW2 ;)

You can look at :

https://plus.google.com/u/0/communi...m/b35ea10e-d5ce-4034-83a4-7b55b4887d08?cfem=1

or XDA thread

http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/sony

Example for SMS reply on SW2

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nefastudio.android.smartwatch2.nfsmssender

SW2 has 200Mhz processor and 4Go RAM.

Yes LG G-Watch (and all other Wear device) Works in 2 mode : Always ON or Alway OFF. (completly off) No need button to unsleep just touch or move.
[Other SmartWatches] reggiexp:
U mean 4gb rom it has some how 8or16mb ram some thread has all thr specs shown

And ow just touch? Didnt know that. But screen is off like realy off? And if u touch it it will turn on on android wear? Realy didnt see that any where. Know turn off is possible but to get it on just the arm move gesture cause no butons.

Ow but if u can touch the screen to turn it back on it isnt that bad. (still dont like wear cause i domt talk to things)

But you can answer sms on sony sw2? Hum whats app maybe?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Yes SW2 has 64Mb RAM and 256Mb for storage.

Yes screen completly off like screen on phone. With no Always ON mode, screen go off after 5s. The screen ON with gesture is exactly like the Z-Watch.

For SMS reply on SW2 I posted the link in the previous post ;)

Yeah that kind of keyboard i was looking for. Havent seen any video or info about a keyboard with that layout for galaxy gear or smartq z1

Hum why so many watches all they are cool but one lacks that feature etc. None is where i say yes 100%.

Merci. Nice like btw the googleh group. Alot of info.

So sony seems like a good call mean good battery life. Always time. And has notifications and some mods

Its basic. But i wont pay more than 50 maybe 60euro for it. Just seems to basic. Im young so i like to play with gadgets. Thats why im looking at gear/smartq z1. But yeah battery life isnt that good...

Hum i learned a lot still havent decided. But thanks for all. I like to read and learn about things.

Thanks again. For the picture.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
On ZWatch I use the "Flit Keyboard" very easy to use, or a Graffiti keyboard (Palm Pilot Keyboard)

After invasion of Wear device, SW2 price dropped (maybe possible to find one at 100€ or below)
[Other SmartWatches] reggiexp:
70 euro on leboncion

the sony is nice as watch and some extra

zwatch is nice to use as gadget and when you are bored. but less usefull as watch

gear about the same

lg g watch nice as watch but less for its voice fuctions. why can't they make the perfect watch for a okay price.

I have connected ZWatch to a nexus 5 running Lollipop but I can't get any notification push(email, whatsapp....)

but phone call works

does anyone encounter the same problem ? or this is cause by the API for capturing notification is different in Lollipop:confused:
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
I think you need to activate zwatch under accessibility settings of your phone.
[Other SmartWatches] kykyky:
I have alreadly enabled it but there's nothing push to watch
[Other SmartWatches] drmpk:
If you already got zwatch sync services running under accessibility settings, i got no other clue. I am still on android 4.4.4 and no idea about lollipop. Must be smart q devices need to update zwatch sync app. But that is too much to ask for. They seem to have abondened the watch looooong ago.

But i got to know that lolli has many hidden tricks related to notifications. And if you have activated any of those purposely or unknowingly, might be the reason why notifications are not pushed on. Have a look at pic.
[Other SmartWatches] Seanie280672:
Really sorry if this question has already been answered, ive been around these forums for quite a while but as of today I am very new to the world of smart watches, based on XDA reviews I decided to go for this SmartQ Z watch whilst waiting to see what HTC have in store for this market line.

I have put a custom rom on the device, managed to brick and restore it, put another custom rom on, connect it to my phone, sync everything etc, but the one thing that im pulling my hair out about is how the hell do you enter your password for the wifi, I can find the box to enter it, but theres no keyboard, not even with flip keyboard installed, I have been googling this for ages and getting no results to answer it ?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
On the phone app you have an icon for keyboard, if you press you can enter text and send it to the Z-Watch. You can also install a keyboard app on the ZWatch, Flit Keyboard is the best for me.
[Other SmartWatches] Seanie280672:
Thank you so much, you dont know how long ive been looking for this, I do have flip keyboard installed, but it doesnt seem to open to enter the security password.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
To use Flit Keyboard you must first install an app like "Quick Keyboard Switch" to switch between different keyboard or open the "Flit Keyboard" app and select "step 2 tap here and select flit keyboard as input..." and after select "Flit" or "ZSynchroniser" keyboard. If you not see the Flit in the list, tap on "configure input mode" at bottom to select the keyboard you would for input.

When the watch is connected to a phone I can connect a BT Headset on the watch and all works.

When the watch is connected to a phone I can connect a BT Headset on the phone like with all other smartwatch.

(On BT network we can have 7 device connected : Total 8=1 master + 7 device)

The watch can be connected only on one phone.

Watch is like a android phone. Just able to works in networks and receive message from phone : notification, weather info, remote phone musique, interact with phone for some operation like answer call. It is just a small device working with Android 4.4.2 and with small screeb 240x240 and some limitation on original android 4.4 feature.

Just installed sprocket on my ZWatch. Seem works well, it send notification to the watch. Just see one BlueMail notification and tested the remote music, seem nice view of cards.

I think there are some problem with notification, exemple NSReminder send notification when alarm fire and send snooze every 5 minutes. With SPRocket I have only the initial notification but not the snooze notification after 5min. ZWatch Synchroniser send the right notification every 5min ;)

[Other SmartWatches] pox67:
Cool, I came to the thread as my Z Watch has become quite flakey after my phone updated to KitKat. Some days I get no notifications and others I get them all. The phone out of range alarm never occurs any more either. I'll give Sprocket a try now.

I came to see if anyone had recommendations for another cheap but good Smart Watch, any ideas out there?

I see China has a ton of different sorts. I came across one with a 2 inch screen that is quite big which looked quite fun. It also had a 3G connection.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Still works on my 3 phone in 4.4.2 but sometime I must enable/disable BT on phone or watch or accessibilty setting....

sprocket seem more stable because it use security setting in place of accessibility. I quicly try also SWP App Link yesterday and seem works also.

I try a cheap watch No1 G2. Notification are fine but app are poor but it cost only just about $75. Z-Watch is the better cheap watch. More usefull than wear watch.

Cannot install android wear. Dj droid is pre rooted, has notifications dropdown bar, and pretty much enables access to all the things stock does not, including google play. You can download some extra watch faces from the manufacturers store, but don't expect that many. I got a bit bored with mine and I rarely use it these days. I only use it when I have meetings where I prefer to keep my phone in my pocket. Otherwise, it's an ok smartwatch, does the basics.

Does it even work on Lollipop? (I haven't used the watch for a while) I realized that notification handling has changed and you can allow apps to read notifications, but my Z sync 2.0.4 app doesn't show up there, only in accessibility and I'm guessing it can't read notifications.
