So i got this watch yesterday and I am liking it,but thing is I change the time from AM to PM or PM to AM..I try everything but i cant get to work,any help please..I am using a iphone 4s
[Other SmartWatches] panteryx_26:
Go to settings-> Set time -> use military time. so for 4:00 PM it would be 16:00
[Other SmartWatches] panteryx_26:
Caller ID is very buggy for me too. Sometimes i get a number sometimes a letter ...and sometimes the last or first name.

Also i am on M51_OPT.FN1.V001
[Other SmartWatches] atlkidz:
thanks alot its fix now:good:
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Thanks for the feedback, there's that many different firmwares, its hard to know which one is the most up to date. The U10 clearly advertises caller ID so not sure why it doesn't work. Sounds like you're getting more caller ID info than me though
[Other SmartWatches] panteryx_26:
I actually tried to email the company but i got some representative that could hardly speak english .
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
I've messed about a bit with caller ID today. Changed my home number to the alphabet etc and then called my phone. I've discovered that the only characters the watch recognised are an M A p P, how random is that. All 0-9 numbers display and some symbols. This explains why most of the callers are showing the number for a second then not showing anything. If there's a full character map in the watch, why doesn't it display caller's names, its just weird
[Other SmartWatches] Daniel_IL:
I have exactly the same name does not displayed on my Moto G, but as i call it displays the full name. What's going on? My ROM is M52_KHR.FN1.V001 of 2014/12/19
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Moto G watch or U10? I think the Moto G caller ID is a separate issue, I've just ran a quick Google search.
[Other SmartWatches] Daniel_IL:
I do not know what you want, but this thread is about Uwatch U10, which would be perfect watch but .... not display the name of the caller or the number of my Moto G and Samsung Trend +

Two differend Android 4.4.4 and 4.2.2, and the same problem. No caller ID on the display U10.

Any ideas ?
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Apologies Daniel, my fault. I got it in my head that the Moto G was a Smartwatch. Anyway, I've got access to a Samsung S5 on lollipop so I'll test the U10 on that too but I suspect it's a firmware issue. Saying that, it's not the only watch model to have issues with caller ID
[Other SmartWatches] hermanchb:
mind to share the download link? thanks
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Hopefully the attached screenshot will show the link.
[Other SmartWatches] nikmagick:
Anyone else getting a 404 error on that link?
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Just double checked the link, definitely downloads the file. If it does give you an error page, tap on the address bar so its highlighted (Chrome), then tap your keyboard's Go key (the tick in SwiftKey)

Would someone mind running the alphabet test on a phone book entry, see what characters you get on the U10 please

no PUSH notification after Bluetooth reconnect !

Hello U10-fans,

basically I am happy with my U10. However today I discovered a problem:

Situation:

my U10 is connected to my smartphone via bluetooth. Then I leave my desk to get a coffee, of course after some distance, the bluetooth connections drops. Now I receive a whatsapp-message on my phone. Later I return to my desk, the bluetooth connection between phone and U10 automatically reestablish. Fine. However, I do NOT GET a push notification about the whatsapp message which arrived meanwhile.

While sitting at my desk, with U10 and phone connected, the push notification for whatsapp-messages works fine. I get the sender name and the whatsapp-text on my U10.

I would expect that the phone-app will "remember" to trigger the notification on my U10, as soon as the watch reconnects to the phone ? Do you experience the same problem ?

I have a Samsung S2 and my U10 has:

I have firmware version: U10 watch

VERSION: M51P_OPTSW.FN1.V003

serial#:

Build time: 2014/10/31

19:43

Regards
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Hi mctire, not sure about WhatsApp because I don't use it, but as for other apps, I've found the "remembering" is a little hit and miss. Things in the phone's notification tray often push on reconnection. I'm the same as you, my work's canteen is just out of reach, so before a break, I do a quick disconnect on the watch and reconnect on my return

Found this yesterday on a foreign forum.

http://www.uwatchsz.com

Unfortunately, no download for the latest U10 apk, only for U10L
[Other SmartWatches] Daniel_IL:
its the same with oryginal software, 6.1.6 from product download page. Of my Moto G work stable, and still not show caller name :(

i tried to additional softwarte Truecaller from play google, i get message, application contact stopped

propably general failure is different android font, but i do not know if this can be changed

(sorry of my poor English)
[Other SmartWatches] snedger:
Not sure how long my watch has left.

The battery charge level that does a sudden drop, rather than evenly, is happening sooner now.

I got "battery charging error" messages over the weekend.

Scratches and scuffs are starting to show.

The display often changes from the time, without my swiping the screen.

Just noticed that I've somehow managed to lose the charge port cover! Rain or gym sweat could kill it anytime now.

Regarding caller id - the number seems to show consistently for me - never the name though.

I just keep forgetting that speaker/mic gets routed to the watch and so I have a frustrating silent conversation with my phone :) And even when I remember to click off headset, often a few seconds later, headset clicks on by itself again!

At least I didn't spend a lot of money finding out that Android smartwatch technology needs to mature more to be useful enough.
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Looks like the only way the caller ID issue will ever be fixed is when the manufacturer does it. I've emailed them but no reply as yet. I've spent enough time trying to find a solution. It doesn't appear to make any difference where the phone contact is stored (SIM, locally stored, Google contact) or if the contact has more than one number, mine will only display the letters M A p P from the alphabet. So if a calling contact doesn't have any of those letters in it, nothing appears. I then look in the call log to see who jt was or if they leave me a message, I get a SMS text from my carrier which is sent to the U10. I can successfully dial my voice mail from the U10 and listen to the message, so that's not so bad.

If the number calling me is not in my contacts, the number displays on the U10 absolutely fine.
[Other SmartWatches] hermanchb:
dude, might share the latest apk? thanks
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Hi, its on post #49. If you get an error page, tap the address bar so it's highlighted then tap your OK key, this should then launch the download. Obviously you'll need to allow third party app installation.
[Other SmartWatches] postaltaco:
HI All,

ive been lurking for a while. just wanted to let everyone know i really appreciate everything you guys do.

My u10 came in yesterday and so far im pretty happy with it. I have an iphone 6 plus. the only things i cant do with the watch are remote pictures and reply to texts. considering i wouldnt do either of those things with the watch id say its worth it.
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Greetings!

Let us know how you get on with caller ID because nobody seems to have this working. Could you also post us your firmware version, you can get this either by going to About in Settings, or type in *#8375# into the dialer. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

I've noticed two more bugs this week. Firstly, if a caller rings and withholds their number, my phonebook and call log lock up on the "loading" screen and I have to power off the watch. Secondly, if I read texts messages on the watch but don't read them on the phone until later, the watch gets confused and mixes up the sender names! It seems the watch has a memory because no amount of restarting fixes it. I can't find a memory reset procedure anywhere. I've already started saving for a proper smartwatch. I believe the U10 runs something called Nucleus OS. The firmware needs a serious looking at.

Not a bad SmartWatch

Greetings:

I just got the Uwatch U10 SmartWatch.

It works like it should, I'm very happy that I can answer the call on the watch itself.

Also I can search my phone book contact list on my watch, that is great too.

I use the SmartWatchBT4.0.apk as the App to connect to the watch.

I've registered with a phone number written this way 514- 123-4567, I'm from Montreal, Canada.

I submited a password too, but when I login it doesn't login.

In the app states the watch is unbound. it should state Bound

Bluetooth states that I'm connected to the watch.

Without connecting to this App, I can not use the remote camera, nor display the pedometer steps, etc.

There is a lot of features I can't use.

Has anyone else experienced this with this App, SmartWatchBT4.0.apk?

My Smartphone is the Samsung Note 3 with Android 4.4.2

Any other Apk's that would work well with a Samsung Note 3?

Regards Robert
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Hi Robert. I've had this unbound issue. Try not pairing the U10 until after installing the app. Launch the app after pairing and switch on the service when asked. If it still says unbound after that, swipe the U10 screen left to right to disconnect, and then again to reconnect. Your phone should then launch the service.

See post #49 for an alternative app which gives me a live camera view on the watch screen which is pretty cool.

[Other SmartWatches] Rakazaa:
Hi Can the watch faces be changed? or are we stucked with only 2 faces?
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
You're probably best using your phone's browser to download it, i.e. Chrome. That way you don't need to bother transferring it to your phone afterwards

Phonebook & Call log not working

Hi,

I got this watch (U10) couple of days back.. It seems to be decent watch..but I have couple of questions on its configuration.

I have installed SmartWatch7.1.1.apk. And I could get the phone book, call log, messages and play music and rest of the functionality working in the beginning. But now when I try to get the phonebook, it says "connection failed". Same issue with call log as well. But I could get the messages, notifications, play music, call & receive from watch.

Is there some thing I need to configure on my mobile to enable the phonebook & call log sync?

Appreciate if some one can help me out.

Thanks,

Prasad

Problem with U10 notifications.

Recently bought U10 SW and started to play with it. I have one BIG problem with the notificaitons: meetings reminders from calendar applications come in batches of 5 (for just one event). Currently disabled all but just one Business Calendar 2 (Android) application- still getting 5 notification of the same content per each event.

I use Motorola iRAZR with Android 4.0.2 (this is a business phone- cannot update to more advanced version).

Any thoughts ?

Thx, VZ

Uwatch U10 can we create new apps

Greetings:

This message is for all the developers in this forum about the Uwatch U10.

Is it possible to create more apps for this watch?

In what language is the SmartWatch BT 4.0 APK written in HTML, Java, C++, etc.

Can the Engineer Mode:*#3646633# code help

get a developer into the watch and able to create other Apps, or connect API's to the watch?

If it is possible to create new apps for this watch it would open many possibilities.

Regards Robert
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Hi, I've had this problem before, does the app read "bound" (top right)?
[Other SmartWatches] vpnprasad:

[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Are you on Android? Is it still not working even If you switch the watch off and on again?

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

Some more codes:

*#1234# switch bluetooth A2DP output (normal or PTS)

*#66*# quick test (9 tests)

*#8375# shows software version screen (same as About in menu)

*#06# shows IMEI
[Other SmartWatches] vpnprasad:
I am on Android with 4.4. I could browse through the messages (SMS), get all the notifications , play music etc. I have tried switching on and off several times with out any luck. It keeps saying connection failed for phonebook and call log. But I have seen it working on first day. Not sure what changed afterwards.

-Prasad
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Hi. I had a few issues with the apps on the playstore so I downloaded another from a link I found. It's on post #49 of this forum. All I can suggest is uninstalling the app you're currently using and unpair/delete the device from your Bluetooth settings. Restart the phone. On the watch, delete the paired phone listed under Bluetooth. Restart the watch. Now download the apk from post #49 using your phone's Chrome and install that. (you'll need to allow third party app installation). Open the app and switch on the service when asked. Update it to the latest version via the top left menu, About page I think. It says 7.1.9 but it's actually 7.1.3 for some reason. Now go ahead and pair the watch again. Let me know how you get on. Remember to turn off third party installation again. Fingers crossed!
[Other SmartWatches] vpnprasad:
Thanks a lot for the detailed steps...I will try out today and share results. I have downloaded 7.1.1 from one of the Google results. I am hoping this newer app 7.1.3 shall work for me.

Thanks,

Prasad

Hi, yeh bit annoying that. Try again, if no joy, tap the address bar so it highlights the Web text, then tap your OK key.
[Other SmartWatches] matthews1977:
Hi,

Great and informative thread! I am actually looking at one of these as a 'stand alone' backup for my phone. So I would *NOT* be focusing on 'pairing' features. Instead, what I'd like to know, and cannot find clearly spelled out anywhere, is this:

Does the watch offer SMS/MMS capability without pairing, using the SIM?

This is important to me as I have a GSM alarm system and would like to list the watch number as a secondary target for text notifications. In fact a columnized list showing which features the phone can perform stand alone vs. paired would be really helpful when shopping for these watches.

I would also be using a TING SIM, which is wholesale carrier minutes purchased from t-mobile in my region. Are there any regional restrictions or carrier on the SIM? Thanks in advance!
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Hi, unless I'm mistaken, the U10 doesn't have a separate SIM, I believe the U8 Pro might though
[Other SmartWatches] matthews1977:
UGH! You are correct. I am on eBay and the sellers have the titles so screwed up! Even the u8 plus says SIM in the title and nowhere in the body are the bands or mention of this. I just need a non-bulky SIM watch phone. Some of these things are huge! Carry on.
[Other SmartWatches] GOLBSTAR:
Yeh lots of false information around on UWatch's. You could look here http://www.uwatchsz.com I think the S2 has a SIM too

What a piece of rubbish this watch is!

I just took it off to put it on charge and a 7mm chunk of plastic crumbled away from the top right, underneath - at least it won't overheat, but it definitely isn't water resistant now :) The plastic was probably brittle at the point where a metal screw was placed.

I really don't want to have to deal with Banggood customer support again, might just accept that I've had about 35 quids worth of smartwatch experience and let it go - though I do still need a large display watch (not smartwatch) replacement.

***edit - just had another look, the case is cracked by the screw in the bottom right.

Might be worth customising your U10s with some electrical insulation tape - was going to say black tape, but might be fun to make the watch unique :) Might even be worth undoing all the screws by smidgen of a turn, but that might compromise the water resistance, so maybe not such a good idea - or might even stress the plastic to breaking point.

I bought a U10 Watch but fail to receive notifications on Nexus 5, only receive calls and SMS.

On GNexus everything goes perfectly. I have 4.3 on GNexus and 5.0.2 on the Nexus 5

I guess smartWatch.apk is not compatible with android 5.0.2 but I did not managed to find an application that does not crash on Nexus 5.

Someone managed to make them work together?

[Other SmartWatches] snedger:
sniff! sniff!

My U10 had to be retired this morning - plastic crumbled away from two corners - backplate could fall off at any time.

Display keeps getting stuck for several minutes on random screens, so is virtually unusable.

I found an old large display watch, somehow the battery in that has lasted 3-4 years - so far :)

Four days since I sent an email to Banggood customer service, they replied sooner to the last problem I had - hopefully I'll get resolution before my last watch runs out of juice.

NO, this smartwatch is NOT WATERPROOF NOR WATERRESIST. You can easily check it - disassembly is quite easy - there is no sealing inside - ex. speaker or power button. Be careful!

U10L - what is the APK of choice?

Hi to all on XDA,

This is my first every post, please be kind! :o I'd like to add to the version of firmware / stability / functionality discussion on the U10L. My U10L that was delivered end of Feb 2015 has the following firmware / build info:

Version=	M52_KHR.FN1.V001

Serial#=	blank!

Build time=	2014/12/19 10:49​

I also own a U8, and there are a few things that have dissapointed me with the U10L. For example the analog watch face is bobbins :silly looking like the BBC News at 9pm clock from early 80's!: Nothing compared to the very sleek looking analog clock faces in the adverts from which I purchased it (amazon.co.uk). The .apk as instructed to download by the manual is also bobbins, dated and unstable.. I have tried a few different apk's now, including:

(note the compilation dates are simply the dates within the apk file, when opened with WinRAR)

SmartWear.apk compilation date 2014-12-19

SmartBlue.apk compilation date 2015-03-03-18

SmartWear compilation date 2014-12-19 (this apk installed having read many a forum post, and out of desperate quest for added functionality, and stability!)

Sourced from Google Play and other Forums, and yet to try:

SmartWatch compilation date 2015-02-03

SmartWatchBT4.0 compilation date 2014-11-25

Smart-Watch compilation date 2015-03-02

I've been trying to find a single source of truth of what is THE apk of choice for this device, without luck. :eek:

As a side, after many hours trawling, the best source of information i've found is, from the Ali-Baba group's supplier aliexpress.com (I jest you not). Their product details page for the U10L is outstanding, with full graphics and a substantial table of specs. :good::D:victory:

(apologies, I have less than 10 posts so can't submit the URL here, but have instead copied the info i'm referring to above, and other info sourced elsewhere, e.g. you'll see two versions of the U10L manual in the attached word doc. I hope this alternative is suitable, if not i''ll redo the file as a .pdf. I do not claim the file to be my source of info, only collation, neither is the formatting my own, most is verbatim with lots of typos, and overall the doc's a work in progress, but I hope of some use)

Does anyone have any updated advice, now we're a few months on from the initial review / post? Any updated guidance greatly received. :cool:

I just got mine in the mail. I cant get it to turn on. I have had it on a charger for over 45 minutes and still no life. Am I missing something?
[Other SmartWatches] snedger:
Have you tried a long press of the button? That is how to turn watch on or off.
[Other SmartWatches] derrabe:
Yes I have had it pressed down for atleast 30 seconds. Also so far the only life I have had on this watch is one time after being on the charge for like an hour it started to constantly vibrate but no screen or anything . I took it off the charger and it continued to vibrate for like 5-10 seconds then it stopped and I didn't get anything else after that. I left it on the charger overnight and still nothing this morning.
[Other SmartWatches] snedger:
Before mine packed up it did play up a few times, but yours does sound terminal.

Try a few more long presses before sending it back - it might decide to wake up :)

I can't send mine back, Banggood have told me that the thin plastic back plate disintegration after only 3 months is not a quality issue - all the watches I've owned have a metal back plate - my retort that "of course it was a quality issue!" and not refunding/replacing is no different to theft was met with being told to "calm down and listen to me" - their stance is that they will only refund/replace if product arrives not working, but not after 3 months - because apparently "if I buy a product from you, and i use it 3 months, then it has broken,whould you give me a compensatio?" - I won't bother correcting their spelling but when I get the strength I will explain about UK/EU consumer rights and remind them that Apple and Microsoft got in to trouble last year in China for not properly honouring the 2 year local warranty on laptops.

I can't apologise enough to Amazon for forsaking them :)
[Other SmartWatches] derrabe:
I have tried several long presses on this watch in the last 12-18 hours. Not even a glimmer. I sent an email last night to banggood and tried to chat with them this morning and the response the rep keep giving me was take a video and wait for a salesperson to contact me within the next few day. Feels like I am getting a run around.
