new problem with my G2...

My G2 has suddenly lost the top half of the digitizer. the bottom half of the screen works OK, but the top half is completely non responsive. I tried hard resetting and even reburning a factory ROM but nada. Anybody else have this happen to them and maybe have an idea to solve it?

Testé le dernier FW (versionD update 2016 May 16)

rien de nouveau si ces pour dire encore que le podomètre et mouvement fonctionne toujours pas pour moi. ps, je les est informé via facebook on véra bien...

Tested last FW (2016 versionD update May 16)

nothing new to tell yet if the pedometer movement and still not working for me.

ps, I was informed via facebook Vera is well ...
[Other SmartWatches] stroppytommy:
This is probably a PC board problem wherein the contacts for the display are shorting or not fully connected with the display. Did you get water in the watch? If so do the old "bag of rice" trick to dry it out even more OR put the watch in a plastic bag and pack silica kitty litter around it. If all else fails you might have to strip the watch down and check the connections to the display. If you aren't confident doing so get a phone repairer to do it for you.

My gripe with this smartwatch is that the latest firmware (May 2016) is supposed to offer motion awareness (motion to wake screen, answer calls, scroll through messages) but doesn't! Oh the firmware gives a menu for selecting motion awareness but motion detection doesn't work! Neither does the alarm clock! Trying to contact No.1 is like trying to levitate in the air! Next on to useless! Anyone else have this trouble???
[Other SmartWatches] oliverortiz77:
I'm using the one from Nov 21 and doesn't work the motion awareness and pedometer. Alarm works just fine. Seems there are 2 types of hardware but not sure. Still waiting for anew update to see if they will fix those issues.
[Other SmartWatches] motisu:
Tried the silica gel trick but it didn't help. Funny thing is that every once in a while, it comes back to life for a few minutes up to 1/2 an hour and then stops working again. Really strange. I may just open it up to have a look inside as soon as I get my new Pebble 2 in Sept.

There are 2 hardware versions of this watch. The older one which was released and sold from 11/15 til about 5/16 doesn't have the motion sensors and other small changes so it doesn't support any of the newer functions. I have the newer version so I do have this support. both will be able to use either ROM, but obviously, if it doesn't have the hardware, these functions won't work.
[Other SmartWatches] stroppytommy:
I think you might be right about there being differences in the hardware of earlier units. Perhaps they weren't fitted with accelerometers which are needed for gesture awareness. I just wish N0.1 had a better contact system!
[Other SmartWatches] motisu:
and I wish they had better QA!!:crying: The G2 is a great watch on the books, it just is crap on the wrist.. It worked very well in the beginning but as time went on, it went downhill. I would hard reset it to get it fresh, but with the screen not fully working, I am afraid that I won't be able to configure it after a HR.
[Other SmartWatches] baknblack:
Just a note for anyone interested. I just bought a G2 and, after 3 days of fooling with it I was finally able to get the HR, sleep, and pedometer readings into my phone. I had to install the latest firmware from the website and, an app called fundo wear. Must create an account and be logged in for it to work. Every other function on the watch seems to be working.

One day in normal use. several days with bluetooth off

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

I happened the same problem same as you. The solution:

make sure you have installed driver ( driver folder ) , do not connect smartwatch until click download . If not works , change usb port several times . takes a bit , but eventually works.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

you know how it works IR BLASTER ?,

I turned on my air conditioning , but not off. It is rare.

Another question . because you can only read the first message whatsapp and not others? .Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] pinkassek:
How it looks with notification on watch? (from Facebook Massanger, Whatsapp, Gmail etc) what can we see on watch screen? Do we have to searching this notification or it's on screen instead the time?
[Other SmartWatches] korili:
I want to know is is possible look the hour without press the button. for exemple shaking the wrist like the samsung galaxy gear. Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] s7yler:
The watch must be turned off when you connect it, don't have it turned on! You can't flash it if you are using the watch.
[Other SmartWatches] s7yler:
That is not possible on this watch.
[Other SmartWatches] slapia:
question

Little offtopic.

s7yler question for You:

In Your opinion better is this watch No.1 G2 or Mi-W3?
[Other SmartWatches] s7yler:
That's a matter of taste, I like the G2 design because it looks like the Gear 2.

But the W3 can have the clock on all the time, but then without backlight. Both watches have pros & cons and different styles.

Thanks for your help Korili, but even if yesterday I tried many time I'm still not able to use the "find device" function.

I used the mediatek app from PlayStore (older version) but nothing it's changed.

Do you know if there are online some manuals for Mediatek Smartdevice ??

Get more faces

Hello everyone. I am new here and foremost my sincere greetings to all. I just got this smartwatch and I've found that comes standard areas are very poor. I've noticed that the area that is installed from the phone apk is in vxp format. It lies within the appmanager folder. Maybe this information will serve to delight any cook us with some more a little more beautiful sphere. Sorry for my English, I write with the translator.

Recommended improvements

Hi I own this device for two weeks and I thinks it's a good device, not at the same level of other device from famous brand, but for my necessity it's ok.

I would like recomend some improvement to the developper:

1. Just in order to reduce the use of the button, is it possible implement a icon in menu to shutdown the watch ?

2. Is it possible implement system to turn on the screen with a wrist shake ?

3. Is it possible implement a menù to manage the comunication panel of android (WiFi, mobile data, bleutooth ect) accessible by a swipe from left to the right in the first screen ?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Hi,

Received mine today.

Disapointed by lake on Timer. We can found timer on all watch à $5 :(

Big problem on Android app compagnion. Force Close when access to notifications setup but notification are sending right to the watch.

Info button for "Device Info say "Heart Rate sensor : No" but the watch have an Heart Rate Sensor and it work....

How find an updated version on the "Mediatek SmartDevice" ?

EDIT : I forget, also lake a principal feature on all connected watch, NO calendar event on this watch, it is a basic feature on a watch no ?
[Other SmartWatches] the_darkvader:
is there not a stop watch function (timer)?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
It has one stopwatch but not one Timer :(
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
The watch have a stopwatch but not have Timer, it is 2 different thing ;)

Another big big big... problem, the Mediatek app avoid all deep sleep on phone. So the phone drain his battery maybe 2 time faster. So totally unusable. Forced to uninstall compagnion app so watch is unusable.
[Other SmartWatches] Telb8s:
Recently purchased G2

My newly purchased G2 came with firmware ver 2014-12-30, which seems to be slightly newer than the one available on No 1's website!

It connected fine over bluetooth to my Samsung S3 mini, but there was no way I could get the MediaTek App downloaded from Google Play Store to connect. It just sat there saying 'connecting'.

Eventually I scanned the G2 built in Qcode image and it linked to and downloaded newer app, ver 2014-12-25, and that connects instantly. The Google Play App is ver 2014-09-03 and if it doesn't connect to your G2, then use the Qcode method.

Most built in Apps seem to function well, Heart Rate Monitor, Pedometer etc. However, it only seems to sync 4 Contacts from my Phone and the 'BT Music' App doesn't function well at all. It runs the music player on the phone, but no sound can be heard on either the watch or the phone and the song title doesn't update on the watch, but displays a message that song titles are not supported.

If anyone has any experience of these issues, it would be much appreciated.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
For me the store version do not works but the QCode version works. Galaxy S4 Android 4.4.2

Music player works on phone and sound play on the watch, not bad sound. The BT setup on phone has 2 options for the watch with checkbox.

- Handle call from phone

- Handle phone Audio system

To ear phone media on watch the second option must be checked. When Watch is set to audio output from phone, there are a little earphone icon on the left top line status in watch.

Also 2 others bad things for me :

- poor alarm system, only 5 alarm on G2, not enought for a smartwatch

- Poor external app : just ONE -> 1 weather app with only current conditions, not even a forecast for 2 days :(
[Other SmartWatches] shanosospirianos:
Are there any apps planned that will allow the fitness tracking and heart rate monitors etc to work with the phone, something like the app for the up24 would be great.

This would give the watch a much more polished feel when synched and would let people easily see all the info they require.

Thanks in advance to no.1 for any updates etc,the more that can be added to this watch the better it will sell and the more likely it is to get an updated model.

Just a quick question for the No.1 operative, is there plan to support android wear on an upcoming model? any heads up you can give?

Kindest regards

Shanos
[Other SmartWatches] Telb8s:
I already have the 2 boxes ticked in the phones BT settings and I get the little headphone icon on the watch face. Also the Volumes are all set at max, but still no actual sound from the phone or watch when playing music.

The Mediatek App is a bit of a letdown. It really does little more than send notifications to the watch, and as mentioned in a previous post, these are all set to ON by default, and really should be set to OFF as default and let the User decide. Other watches with built in fitness features, link to an app that takes the information from the watch, like calrories, heartbeats, steps walked etc, and display it on the phone in graphical formats, sometimes analysing the info as well.

I feel the watch is well built and most built-in functions perform ok, but there is still room for improvement, which can hopefully be done by firmware and App upgrades.

Lower left screen area not working

I received NO.1 G2 two days ago. I paired with my smartphone (after discovering Google Apps mediatek app was useless) and yesterday everything was working. Then I took a shower (with G2, of course).

Since yesterday my lower left screen area is not working. I cannot press touch this area, so I cannot start podometer, change settings and other options. I also upgraded to last firmware. (12-29)

At this moment I don't know if my problem comes due to taking a shower with phone (I saw a youtube video where IP67 protection was totally a mess), because firmware upgrade or simply because a defect in my phone.

Those who have upgraded to firmware 12-29, do you hace this problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
I think it is not a good idea to take a shower with a watch just IP67. It is just 30min (static) in 1m of water. Not for pressure of a raining water in a shower. And you do not press lower button when there are water on the watch.

Otherwise, as the G2 will have 0 app it is not a good choice or only for notification or basic watch function like stopwatch or max 5 alarm. Pedometer can be used for those who want this feature.

When audio phone system is connected to the watch, the G2 act like a BT earphone. Playing music on phone output on watch speaker. It is not a good idea to play music with watch speaker, it is better on phone speaker. Usefull maybe for answer call ?
[Other SmartWatches] inigoml:
I'm talking about taking a shower, not a bath or swimming or diving. Presure taking a shower is 1 atm. I don't like using a high pressure stream against my body and I usually don't play with my gadgets at shower! :)

Just received mine. having a big issue with "out of range" notification with me being no more than 2 meters away from phone!
[Other SmartWatches] tarcisiorm:
I would like to know two things:

1) Is it possible to change digital clock background (wallpaper)? I didn't like the original one.

2) How is the battery? Can it handle a day of normal use like seeing notifications and changing music?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
You can change the clock face by another but do not change anything on the original clock.

Battery life is not bad. Easily one day but depend how time you stay with screen on or time you transmit data on BT.

Music output on watch speaker so if you use music it will drain fast the battery.
[Other SmartWatches] the_darkvader:
I have this watch for a few days, I also have u8 watch and after coming from u8 to g2, I am disappointed,

G2 has better hardware but to software is buggy!

With do not disturb selected on htc m8 android 4.4.4, notifications still are pushed to watch waking both myself and partner :( so sleep monitor is useless. Works perfect on u8

Remote notifier email notifications just informs you of the quantity of emails, cannot read, this works on u8

I cannot get TV remote to work after choosing brand of TV it get stuck on number page with ok.

The gui on g2 watch is plain and generic seen similar gui on different makes

The gui on u8 is in my opinion more modern

the analog watch faces on g2 are basic, u8 analogue watch faces can also show date

The mediatek software is also generic and as such in my opinion has not been modified to suit g2 hardware and reports no heart rate sensor!

Even with the phone speaker chosen as default, it resets and sends call to watch . u8 remembers the last selected until you change.

You can also send voice from watch to phone during call on u8. the only option on g2 during call is end or volume

A nice watch, but the software is a big letdown. Cannot be used 247 in this state

For the moment will go back to u8 until the bugs are sorted with working dnd and sleep monitor

problems with upgrade

I tried to upgrade to the lastest firmware but when i push download i have this message "Failed to enumerate a certain COM port!", any help? Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] s7yler:
I again also got the "Failed not enumerate on certain COM port" error today, but managed to get around it by doing this:

- Install drivers that was in the firmware package

- Start the flash tool, load the scatter

- If you now press download the error comes "Failed not enumerate e certain COM port" (if the watch is connected, but also if it is not connected!)

- Click the error message away, but keep the flash tool open

- Connect the watch to the PC, turn ON the watch

- When watch is booted, it will ask to connect as USB storage or COM port, select USB storage

- Click download in the flash tool, the error should not come now! but nothing will happen (still you have the cable connected to the PC!)

- Hold the power button on the watch and let it turn off! (still you have the cable connected to the PC!)

- After it turned itself off, the flashtool should automatically start the flashing!

problems with upgrade

I used a windows 7 pc as windows 8 i could not install driver.

I also disabled security and run tool as admin just to be sure.

Also watch has to be off and only connect after download option

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

when i connect the watch to the pc i must choose between to option

1 - usb memory

2 - COM port

that means watch is ON , if OFF , you will get a charge gif on watch screen, no choice to select
[Other SmartWatches] s7yler:
Yes? did you not read my steps? you then need to turn off the watch and when it is off it will start the flashing.

When I press download (also not with the watch connected) the error is displayed immediately. So that's why your "Also watch has to be off and only connect after download option" doesn't matter, the error comes immediately in the flash tool when you press download.

Only way not to get it immediately is to first connect the watch powered on (then press download, the error will then not be there), and THEN after turn it off again, and then it will start the flashing without the error.

Of course the watch have to be turned OFF before the flash tool can flash it, but I just turn it on to start with (connected) to avoid the error message when hitting the download button.
[Other SmartWatches] the_darkvader:

This watch has 0 appli, so easy to give an answer ;)

You can just use notification. If you have an Android app wich send one notification on status bar you receive it in G2 Watch. If your Fitness app send text notification you would, it is ok :)
