So from what I understand this watch does not turn on with wrist movement. What is the max screen timeout? Can I set it to just stay on constantly?

Also has anyone used with Android 5.0 and/or Nexus 6?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
Max screen time is 60 seconds. you can find this on the NO 1 G2 movies on youtube

Some of you are using this smartwatch some time. What about the memory, this 112 mb is not so much. Is this enough for daily use for synchonising contact and call logs ?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Contact and call log use only few Kb, it is just text data.

Firmware update

Hi I found a firmware update on NO.1 website, somebody can explain me what are the upgrades ?

I still have problem with the "find phone" function and the messagge from the watch it's in the pictures "A", i checked the information on smartwatch see pictures "B", someone can help me with the "LE connection" ?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
I have also BT LE not connected, but my phone has no LE BT. it is just recent phone and iPhone 5.
[Other SmartWatches] poldo1972:
I have an LG G2 with Bluetooth 4.0 so i think that the BLE connection must/could function
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Compare same picture with Samsung Gear 1 et No1 G2.

(No cat on the G2 picture)

Same condition light.

Gear

G2 (max quality)
[Other SmartWatches] Telb8s:
It seems to be a common problem that people cannot flash firmware updates to the G2, me included. Some people have discovered work-arounds that work for them and maybe for others too. I have tried everything feasible, but still cannot flash firmwares.

The G2 connects over USB when switched on and asks for 1. Mass Storage or 2. Com Port. Mass Storage works fine and connects to PC OK, so the Driver must have installed OK, but Com Port gives error "Invalid or Device Conflict". When watch is Off, the Flash tool justs sits there saying "waiting". There are no error messages. I've tried 3 PC's, 1 Windows 7 32bit, 1 Windows 7 64 bit and Windows XP, all with the same results. The firmware update function in MediaTek App doesn't work either. I also need to re-install the weather app on the G2, but there seems to be no way of doing that either.

So, with firmware update issues, no installable Apps available, no more choices of clock faces, I think No.1 needs to get their act together. The firmware updates seem to become available on a monthly basis, but there are no really noticable changes. The G2 itself seems to be an excellent piece of kit, but is spoilt by the lack of software/firmware development. :(:(
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Yes, until no noticiable change we do not need to update for nothing ;)

Hello,

Can you tell me if the charging cradle of the samsung gear 2 is compatible with the n0.1 g2?

Where can i buy the charging cradle for n0.1 g2?

Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
We can use it but it is largest and you must maintain it to the watch with an elastic or a pliers.

The NoG2 Dock is smallest than the G2 so it can be used on a G2 but you must enforce to put and remove.
[Other SmartWatches] me_is_rushin:
Is anyone successfully using this watch with 5.0 Lollipop??
[Other SmartWatches] m5james:
I'm curious about buying this watch. I wanna see how well it does for tracking things like the pedometer, sleep tracking,, etc. I watched a video on the Mi W3 and the phone app seemed very detailed, but I can't use the G2 phone app to see how well it tracks until I can pair to the actual watch. Can someone post screen shots of their phone of the actual pedometer and sleep monitor, please?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
On G2 watch ? nothing on phone from any watch app, none sleep or pedometer. Even the watch picture are not synched on phone or I not see it....
[Other SmartWatches] pep1913:
ir tv remote control

somebody working well?
[Other SmartWatches] biggO83:
I have a love hate feeling about this watch.

This watch is made of quality materials and has frequent firmware upgrades from the manufacture .

BT connection is weak. It struggles to keep connected to my Samsung Note 4. I noticed that when I am on the metro with many other people, the connections keeps cutting in and out. The distance on the BT is shorter than other BT devices. The watch has lots of features, but their is no app that supports it. You can't track your personal fitness as well as S Health. The pedometer is also wrong. According to this watch I walk about 20,000 steps a day which I know is wrong. The IR remote has very limited amount of codes. It doesn't work with my Vizio TV or Verizon Fios box. It was hard to upgrade this watch firmware. It doesn't upgrade using a Windows 8.1 OS. I had to dust off my old Asus laptop running Windows 7 and upgrade it. It took me about 10 tries to upgrade. The instructions are not clearly written in English. I use this watch mainly for notifications. I wish I would have saved myself a few bucks more and bought the U8 watch instead, the camera is worthless.

This watch has lots of potential. The manufacture needs to create a app that supports and tracks these features similar to S health on Samsung and provide better firmware upgrades.
[Other SmartWatches] m5james:
I don't understand...on eBay the U8 is $24 vs the G2 is $40. I'm sure the camera is useless, but I'm looking more for a heart rate monitor, pedometer (that works) and sleep monitor (which it sounds like the phone app doesn't have), so what's the next logical step after the U8 and G2?
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
Wear or Gear 1 or 2. Real watch. With other poor watch you will always be disappointed.
[Other SmartWatches] m5james:
There's gotta be a happy medium vs jumping to watches that cost 4x as much.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
I have also a SmarQ Z-Watch wich offer a lot apps and possibility. It run Android 4.4 so you can use many many... app.
[Other SmartWatches] barciol:
And I have a question.

How do I edit this firmware? I mean, how can I edit the language and the like.

Sorry for my english ...
[Other SmartWatches] biggO83:
IT doesn't track anything. It has pedometer, but it only tracks history on your watch and dose not transfer to your phone. Their is no app that supports it. Also you have to manually activate/ turn on the pedometer, sleep tracking, or heart rate on your watch. This isn't like a Fit bit that automatically does the work for you.

One of the positive things I can say about this watch is that the battery life is really good for a smartwatch. But it's only really good for receiving notifications and that about it. The recent firmware 01/20/15 fixed a few issues I had with this phone, you now have 2 other wall papers to choose from. Also the home button no longer beeps. Before, whenever i muted the watch, the home button would always make a beep, but they have fixed that issue now.

I would recommend buying a used Samsung gear 2 neo from ebay for a few dollars more.
[Other SmartWatches] yoda2007:
A few dollars??

No.1 G2=62€ in gearbest.com

Samsung Gear 2 Neo=150-200€ in any site and only fully compatible with some Samsung devices!!!

I think no.1 G2 os a very good and cheap option for an smartwatch...
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
but practically no smartwatch function and very poor features for a simple watch.

Gear 1 from ebay maybe ? Gear 1 has same feature than Gear 2 and more than the Gear 2 Neo.
[Other SmartWatches] poldo1972:
Ok Grar 1/2/Neo are better than NO.1 G2 but you can use it only with Samsung Galaxy, and this is not an important difference .
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
There are some workaround to use on no Samsung phone. I tested on my Nexus 4 a simple app from playstore and I can at least receive notification, call, sms, contact. It is not all feature but some most important.
[Other SmartWatches] poldo1972:
You can receive the same information that you can receive on the NO.1 G2, it's like buy a Ferrari to make the grocery shopping.

It's my opinion that the NO.1 G2 is a good compromise between cost and functions.
[Other SmartWatches] biggO83:
I bought my No. 1 G2 for about $75 from China... I saw a few Used Samsung Gear 2 Neo selling for about $90 on ebay in the US. For those who have a Samsung phone it's worth spending $15 more to get a watch that functions better.

Otherwise the No.1 G2 is a good alternative. It sleek and looks very nice. I get complements about the watch.
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
Today I received this G2 watch. What others say, built quality is great.

Connected by blue tooth with my note3, all contact are in the watch. Now I want to call one contact with the watch, but if I choose a contact, the watch says: no phone number.

Can someone tell me how to fix this ?
[Other SmartWatches] slapia:
Whats new in 02.02 firmware?
[Other SmartWatches] yoda2007:
In the official website says that works with Lollipop.
[Other SmartWatches] slapia:
In latest 02/02 firmware bad URL in QR Code or their service is Shut Down.
[Other SmartWatches] pep1913:
yes, i have the same problem, with the url. In the last version FW(3_02) i have only found the possibility to come back on watch if you touch your screen on high or low size

Another upgrade in this version?
[Other SmartWatches] lmarchenac01:
not works propertly

It doesn´t work with any smartphone I've tried. I had tried with 3 differents firmwares included the last (02-03) and it´s no way. Mediatek smartdevice always says "connecting"...and in no.1 don´t give me good anwers, always: restart the phone...reconect bluetooth...etc
[Other SmartWatches] jpep:
Mediatek good

Please isntall the apk.
[Other SmartWatches] Av8tor86:
My watch finally arrived after a month. Turned it on, updated to the 1-20 firmware and let it charge. Tried to use it the next day and it won't turn on or take a charge. Sending it back, hopefully. Was issued a RMA but they won't give me an address to where to ship it to. Hopefully they come thru but it has been a few days and no response.
[Other SmartWatches] omot:
Yes, I asked that question on dev's web. This watch will arrive tomorrow. I 'll try to test with my Nexus6.
[Other SmartWatches] the_darkvader:
works on lollypop on htc m8. Dare i say slightly more stable, not perfect but ...
[Other SmartWatches] omot:
Bad news for me, g2 won't arrive tomorrow because of clearance time.

I'm interested in your word "not perfect but...." .

What function work, doesn't work?
[Other SmartWatches] Buchow:
IR Blaster

Does anyone know how the IR blaster works, or how to set it up?

I've updated to the Feb 2015 firmware, and I can open then 'Smart Home' app and choose 'TV', but how do I set it up to use a 'Sony' TV.

In the settings there is an option to choose the TV make, so I choose 'Sony'. It then show a screen with a number and left, right, OK underneath. Pressing left and right cycles through the numbers (1-30), pressing OK doesn't do anything, and when I leave the screen and go back into settings it doesn't appear to have saved the TV make as 'Sony'.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] leron:
I had the same problem.

it is because the Mediatek Smartdevice app on the play store is not good.

To download the right one select "quick response" on the phone and scan the QR code with a reader.

It will download the proper one.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

I just come back from China where I bought this smartwatch.

The appearence is very nice.. unfortunately the software is not so nice.

Let me explain.

First, the mediatek smartdevice app on the play store does not connect to the watch. After asking a chinese colleague to call No.1, we discovered that to download the good one you have to scan the QR code available in the "quick response" on the watch.

But ok, this is solved (hope this will help other users too).

The first think I don't really like is that even if the notification of a new email or of a new whatsapp message is forwarded to the watch, it is not possible to read the email or the message. And this is strange since text messages can be read. I am not sure if this is a problem of the watch firmware or of the mediatek app but it is quite bad for now.

The second thing is that, if there is internally an accellerometer, then why do not implement the function to wakeup with wrist movement (like pebble for instance). This one, I think, it is firmware bug.

Third, it is missing a vibrator inside.. but for the price maybe it is a compromise.

With the latest firmware (Feb 2) there are two "apps", yahoo weather and a digital clock. Yahoo weather looks nice on the watch screen.

One positive think is that new firmware are released frequently so probably the product functionalities will improve in the future.

So, by summarizing, the watch is nice to see but for functionalities, much better a Pebble ;)
[Other SmartWatches] mrmonos:
Hi all.. just wondering how to shut the watch sound its kind annoying loud when doing the remote capture function.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
What ??? are you grazy :)

On pebble you have a lot of app : tasker, evernote, google task, keep, any.do, shopping list, calendar event ...... ,many, many, many...... watchfaces..... on G2 you have nothing, zero app. How can say that G2 is better when you can do nothing else than read (poor) notifications ?
[Other SmartWatches] yoda2007:
Are u kidding me? I've been tried a pebble for a while, and it has a very limited usability, a poor and b/w screen, the worst design... don't like at all!!! :crying:
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
The first pebble was very limited. Since a few month there are few new firmware wich increase features. But without this pebble has always be able to execute many app while the G2 can do nothing.

So we can say that G2 has a nice color screen nice resolution but not that was usefull because you can do nothing apart read notification in a very bad way. On G2 I can not see my calendar event, I have only 4 alarm that is not enough, I have not a timer (just a stopwatch) I an not see my note in evernote, I can not see forecast wrather for the next days, I can not see current weather in my watchface, I can not setup an alarm on my phone...........
[Other SmartWatches] leron:
much better a pebble, not much better than a pebble.

don't misunderstand.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
My current face on pebble
[Other SmartWatches] leron:
I think that if they would be able to implement on this watch at least the same notifications that are available on Pebble then it would be great.

Also some more app would be very appreciated.
[Other SmartWatches] lmarchenac01:
thank you very much! I was going crazy with this and No.1 only responded me to reestablish factory mode...etc
[Other SmartWatches] yoda2007:
Sorry but...what a screen!!! [emoji22]
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
For 3 days, I use this G2. Ieron says it doesn't vibrate ??

Mine vibrates when I get mail, whatsapp or calls. You can activate this in settings. This is my third smartwatch and by far the best.

I also have the U8 pro. That watch is daily freezing and losing often contact with bluetooth.

My G2 never loose contact. Speak quality is great and battery holds much longer.

Startup this watch happens in some seconds.

The only thing I can't get working, is the phone number at my contacts. Maybe for this comes an solution at the next firmware.

Conclusion: Great Smartwatch :cowboy::cowboy:
[Other SmartWatches] Buchow:
I asked this question to the N01 support team, and they replied with this:

"NO.1 G2 Watch Remote Operating Instructions

Watch camera to alignment air conditioning or television. Trun on air-conditioning or TV. Opening the watch "smart home", chilk air-conditioning or TV in this funtion.

If you choose contral air conditioning - into the upper right corner - select the appropriate brand, such as Gree, There are code from the beginning, and gradually increase the code, when the code matches to air conditioning, air conditioning will make sounds "DI", press the OK button to save code, turn back control Interface, so you can remote control air-conditioning or TV."

This doesn't seem to work. I pointed the watch at my TV, chose 'Sony', went through all the numbers 1 - 30 and nothing happened. Went back into settings and doesn't appear to have saved anything. Still no closer to working how to set up the IR blaster. I'm starting to think it just doesn't work. :(
[Other SmartWatches] leron:
I found how to enable the vibration and it is ok now :o.

Do you understand how do whatsapp notifications work? if I I have only one message I can read it but if there are more I just get the notification.

Also, are you able to read email from stock android email app? I only get the notification.
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
All right, you succeed with vibration . Great !

Whatsapp messages are coming in by me, the same as yours. Email is the same. The watch gives message and short tekst. We have to read the mail on the phone. Maybe later more possibilities, as there is an new firmware.

Did you get infra red for TV get working ?

Like Buchow says, its not possible te push te OK button if you change the numbers.
[Other SmartWatches] Herberteten:
don't change the code too fast, it can work
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
Good to know infra red should work. I tried everything, but can't get it to work on my samsung tv. I slowly change code, wait for some seconds and push the OK button. While pusching, it lights up green.

If I go back to try the saved code, it does nothing on my tv.

Then, I go back to change to an other code, its always back on the first code in that screen.

How can I see the code I want to save, is saved ?
[Other SmartWatches] Herberteten:
The code is save in your smartwatch, so you don't need do other things

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

I think you must agree smartwatch read your phone contacts
[Other SmartWatches] Buchow:
I've tried this loads of times now and it is definitely not working for me.

I've tried the following processes on an 'LG', 'Sony' and 'Samsung' TV with no success.

1. Turn TV on.

2. Select 'Smart Home' app on smart watch, choose 'TV', then 'Settings' and then choose relevant brand.

3. Wait 10 seconds for response from TV.

4. Press 'OK'

5. Wait 10 seconds for response from TV.

6. Press '>' to increase code.

7. Repeat steps 3 - 6 for all codes.

Anyone remember the old Casio CMD-40 from the 90's? They were really simple to set up, just enter the code from the manual and hey presto!
[Other SmartWatches] slapia:
I don't think that You must wait 10 second.

You can see IR blink over Mobile phone camera and blink appear immediate when You switch over bands, but this blink is very short (maybe we need go closer to tv?:) )

You can press Switch Off or Volume Down or someone else button on watch in previous window, You see that IR blast then is Stronger and longer.

This is only my guess, do not look at it seriously :)
[Other SmartWatches] omot:
Yesterday I received this watch, and tried to connect with my Nexus 6 5.0.1.

I haven't checked ir and music yet, but almost function works good as I imaged before.

I continue to check other functions and impressions.

Firmware is Jan. 2015's installed. Need to update?
[Other SmartWatches] yoda2007:
Yes, there is another firmware from february.
[Other SmartWatches] omot:
I tried IR, but couldn't work.

If firmware update that Feb's, IR will work?

And that new firmware, does it change or improve something?
[Other SmartWatches] antemoli:
find device? not working

Hello everyone, I'm new here. Since few days ago I own a no.1 G2 and I've updated to February. The feelings are contradictory. Bunos materials and software aspect but overall I think it has potential to be developed.

Do I get to run irda with tv sony, however LG air conditioning works well.

Notifications poor system unable to read more than one (watshapp) and the mails do not see content.

the option "find device" disabled in the G2 and mediatek smart device, why?

would be very interesting to install more applications.

Greetings and thanks for sharing.
[Other SmartWatches] catman25:
I'm figuring out this watch currently. One issue I have is way to many notifications ! I get a notification that I have a text and then the text itself . all I want is the notification for the text to go through. Could you offer help ?
[Other SmartWatches] Yulius33:
Great price for good smart watch

Hi all,

1. great looking and very stable OS watch. good hands free call, contacts and call logs.

2. a bit poor notifications capabilities, can't really read it all.

3. IR actually not so operational, although the IR transmitter is real and working. couldn't pair with a Samsung TV.

4. The developer must invest in the OS and apps to make this watch a real finding vs. big brands.

5. The heart rate sensor is working, but only if you take your watch of and put there your thumb.

6. More skins are very welcomed.

7. Great battery, holds for 2-3 days

to summarize, worth the 65 USD, not going to spend 300 USD on such "not must to have" gadget!
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
For a week I use this watch now. The battery life is getting shorter every day. Yesterday, after 9 hours, the watch was going down automatic because of low battery.

Today the watch was going down after 6 hours. The only thing I did with it was some phonecalls for a total time of 24 minutes, and recyved 5 messages.

Yulius33 wrote here this his watch holds for 2-3 days. What total time do you use the watch for making phone calls, to get the battery hold for 2 days ?

The charging of the watch, I do this on usb on computer. Total charging time is about 35 minutes.

How many minutes does it take to charge this watch by other users ?

I guess my watch is not fully getting charged or battery is broken. Who can help me ?
[Other SmartWatches] mrmonos:
Updated to V1.2015.02.03 firmware.. nothing change much, you can go to 'home page' by swiping up or down while browsing your G2, ir blaster still not manage to control my Samsung LED TV, still annoying alert notification "BLE out of range" if set to turn on Mediatek app Alert Setting.
[Other SmartWatches] omot:
I also updated the newest firmware, it changed swiping can vertical way, and feel swiping smoothly.

IR still doesnot work on my TV. I think the IR wouldn't work.

Is there someone instruct me that function how to set ?

Concerned about out of range, I set finally off it. lol
[Other SmartWatches] m4dbra1n:
Hi everyone,

I've finally received this smartwatch after a month and I've just upgraded it to the latest feb firmware version :)

I've tried the method described to be able to control my tv, a Samsung 24" LCD TV, but nothing happens: I've entered the Smart Home menu, selected Samsung as brand, cycled between all the 44 codes waiting at least 5 sec, but the OK button never became green.

Does that means that my TV is not supported? :(

It's just a funny function, not my primary use for the smartwatch itself, but I'm sooo curious to see if it can works XD
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
Till now, there's nobody who let us know the ir function worked. I tried everything but can't get ik worked.

Because of an short battery time, today I asked the seller for a solution or replacement.

Further, this smartwatch is great !
[Other SmartWatches] DarkscytheX:
I've got the same issue. Just finished reviewing it and couldn't get the IR function to work at all. It's very frustrating.

I've been told that they'll be releasing a video on how to get it to work, but I suspect its more a firmware issue than a matter of "user error"
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
Battery life of my G2 is just 6 to 8 hours. Can someone let me know how long your battery life is ?

I think my battery is broken.
[Other SmartWatches] dersie:
4 days and more....
[Other SmartWatches] aloysxda:
That's very good. About how many minutes do you use the watch for calling ?

This is the item that uses most energy.
