I am not sure you can do it under Win 8. Do you have access to another machine with Win 7 or lower (or are able to set up an virtual machine)?

To connnect to the watch you can use this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtk.btnotification&hl=de

Unfortunately there is no (to me known) way of pushing health information like sleeping data or steps to the phone. Let's hope No.1 will include this feature in an update :).

Hi,

The wire is below all the plastic casing after the cover removed.

How did u able to see the red wire?

I can't even see black ones.

Any hint?

I have noticed that "Mediatek SmartDevice" is available on apple apps store. Does anyone know if this app will allow for additional features on i phone as I can already automatically connect with Bluetooth to No 1 Sun S2 watch?
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
It is right next to the battery. You can see the red wire soldered connection. Next to that is the black solder connection. Tap to short out the two soldered connections.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

Note that even with the firmware update the screen will still freeze. To reset, the soldered battery connection....red & black...has to be shorted with a quick tap.
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
Frozen screen---again!

Much as I like this watch WHEN its working, the screen has frozen up for the THIRD time, all for different reasons! Once again, off with the back, short the battery connection, back together again, what a PAIN! Even flashed the firmware update, hoping a fix was included, BUT NO!!! Anybody know how to fix this prob???

Help requested!

I had hoped that after updating the firmware, the screen would stop freezing up. Again, the only way found to reset the watch has been to remove the 4 screws in the back and quick short the red and black battery connection wires at their solder points to the board. But by this time, one of the 4 screws in the back cover has a stripped head, and can't be unscrewed. If anyone knows another way to reset the watch, please share it to this post!!
[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
I have had that problem when trying to force a disconnect from Bluetooth. The watch freezes. I found that recycling power on the tablet while doing a long press on the power button usually allows the watch to shutdown and then powers up ok.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

The Mediatek SmartDevice has an option called "My Applications" which contains "Yahoo Weather", "Digital Clock" and "Codoon" applications. I assume this is to manage MediaTek LinkIt .VXP applications that are downloaded to the watch.

When pressing this option it with the Sun S2 watch it says "Loading, Please wait..." and never stops. I had hoped the upgrade may cause this work.

Can I infer that

1) I can load other applications (if enough memory space)?

2) I can delete not wanted applications from watch to free up space?

3) I can write my own .VXP applications?

:D
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
Please clarify

"Tablet"?? Are you saying to do the long press while its charging to reset it or what???
[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
I have a 9.7" inch phone I call a tablet.

I think if you cycle power (off and on) on the phone, while repeatedly pressing long press on the "off" button of the smartwatch, the bluetooth should disconnect cleanly and allow the smartwatch to power down. I've used this trick about 5 times. The freezing always seemed to be related to disconnecting from bluetooth.
[Other SmartWatches] Monipeev:
I don't have this problem with freezing, but my watch is installed with old version of firmware.

Whether this is the reason that the problem is absent and only occurs after the update? Maybe.
[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
I think the problem is incompatibility between Bluetooth versions on phone & watch. The only new bug I noticed since upgrade is that it was no longer possible to move the icons around on the smartwatch "desktop"
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
I had the same freeze issue with the oem-installed firmware. Same problem after installing the latest firmware.

Don't recall if it was the Bluetooth issue that caused it. But, the watch is flawed and inoperable since soon after it arrive. I thought that if shorting the pos/negative battery wires would reset...which it does. .that maybe shorting out two of the outside back connectors that meet up with the charging cradle. Did not work either. Anyone else have a solution? Again, the problem is the video screen freezes. Resetting the watch restores functionality. I am asking for helpful solutions that will reset the watch (powering it off) without removing the back cover on the case. Having done that several times now, one of the tiny screwheads stripped.

Any ideas, anyone?
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
Hello student,

I charged the watch, then powered on my phone, then turned BT on. The watch responded with a synch request, even though the screen remained otherwise "frozen". Ok'd the request, then tried your solution, with success. Many thanks. It will likely come in handy again.
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
Wow, thanks for sharing your experiences as well :).
[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
Some follow up to my above post: After downloading "Bluetooth Phonebook" from google store and starting it up, and setting to deliver only visible contacts with phone numbers, then the watch phonebook worked with about 200 entries. Not sure if this indicates a phone or watch problem.
[Other SmartWatches] imdidi:
the only good thing of this watch is to give hour. and the nice look i love it but i do not know if the sensors are real or fake there is also a black bar at the bottom of the watch and you cannot see de number 6. the bluetooth connection is bad i always lose my connection. the memory allow you to record 8 sec of video, who record juste 8 sec of video ? not me but with an 1.3mp camera i would take my phone. otherwise the notifications seem to work well. and for the price I can not say anything more

There he has a custom ROMS that can be installed on the watch ?

or otherwise buy another watch

it is clear that there was the biggest marketing than what the product does, in my opinion

sorry for my fault

thx

Danny
[Other SmartWatches] imdidi:
hey

sure you're right

I did not know the black bar had sensors . if that is the case I will wait an update too . but the developer would have to think about how his screen is disposed. the enter button is half- hidden, because the display is larger than what is displayed. every time I get to press it it does not work or I press the other above which it is not hidden . and there is not just that , in the top of the screen you lose words that are too wide for display. it could have the shortest words in the top of the watch and longer lower or the word fit in the display but if it is too long the word can be scroll at the left. the scroll fonction lag and when you release your finger the watch re-scroll up. that's all it is small details that are sad to use. anyway I better understand the function of the watch after your explanation, but I think it 's been done in a hurry. the sensors that are based on the time it is ordinary, no?

Therefore , we will be hoped to have an update or a custom Roms

and it remains the most beautiful smart watch

sorry for my fault

This is the same update process for the NO.1 G2 smartwatch right?
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
Hello Fellow Smartwatch People,

Okay, I gave my points of interest, my frustration with bluetooth disconnect/screen freezing, and I've been enjoying the installed update on the No. 1 S2 watch. So, comparing this to the LGs, Samsung, Pebble, Sony (yo no habla Apple), trying to see if its worth paying 4-5 x the retail price (50% less for used) for one of the 'big name brands.' No voice control, got that. No google apps, got that. Very little ram for storage, got that. But for what these are used for most; time and notifications, the No. 1 S2 does the job. Ive looked at the LG Urbane; like the WiFi, but really, what am I gonna use THAT for? In a pinch, I can use the phone app on the No. 1, which LG doesn't have. Yes, it's good-looking, but not better than the No. 1. Yes, the Urbane has access to TONS of watch faces; but do you really need more than the three that come with the No. 1? Bottom line, for the $50-60 the No. 1 costs, it does very well.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

Anyone have a custom rom for this yet? Is the firmware update linked to this forum the latest?
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
Clueless as to the No. 1 G2

Don't have any experience with that Watch to be able to answer the question.

[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:

[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
Two more updates from my previous post,

1) Turning off Antiloss on the smart watch increased the time I could run on a single charge from 6 to 8 hours. (I have bluetooth always on, as well as flip to see time)

2) The BBT or body temprature turns on the heart rate sensor. This would imply that it uses the Kalman Filter (KF) model to determine your "core" body temperature. If I understand correcctly, the watch would "learn" your nomal heart rate and assume that is 98.6F (37.0C). Afterwards any increase would be related to overheating.

Google "Kalman Filter temperature" for more info like

http://www.google.com/patents/US20140180027

So this. means that holding an ice cube to the watch and not seeing the temperature drop doesn't prove that BBT is a fake app
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
Thanks, for both useful suggestion. I am looking at the U18 smartwatch and am uncertain if it runs Google apps, certainly not Google wear apps. But it uses a kitkat rom, so I think 'maybe.' It's WiFi & GPS are nice features, but may mean very short battery time. Do you have any thoughts on this?

hi, im not sure if im being stupid but..... changing the facia of the clock. tehre are the 3 (the white, copper and black ones) and the "smart" yellow digital with the dialler and message buttons showing.

is there anyway to change these or to get more facia options? i cannot for the life of me seem to see any way how to. or for that matter "install" any apps for the thing.
[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
The Mediatek SmartDevice apk has an option to load and delete apps on the watch, but it doesn't work. There other apks like Fundo and BTNotification by rwatch which may offer more. My guess is that this feature has been disabled due to lack of free memory space on the watch. This means that new watch faces and any new features can only come through an upgrade.
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
FYI, the only news app with notification that make it to the watch, is called "breaking news", available at Google play. CNN and the other major news apps don't respond.

Watch not turning on

I'm not sure if this was previously answered but has anyone else have the issue of the phone not turning on anymore? I tried applying the update and it wasn't working and during the tries to get it to connect the watch stopped turning on. When I plug the watch into the computer it recognizes something is plugged in but Windows does not recognize the device. Is there a way to reset the watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Monipeev:
Just waiting any hours and try to power on the watch. If power off, without disassemble, watch don't have way to reset. I have problem every when my watch battery is low and self shut down. When i connect to magnetic charge adapter and watch finalising charging, i try to power on, but my watch not start. It's never power on again. The watch will not start unless you wait a few hours and only then do not try to turn it on.
[Other SmartWatches] mitigator:
Re - 4. The heatbeat seems to work well compared to a real measurement of hearbeat. However it is limited to 99 beats per minute. If you heart rate is higher than that, the watch will give an error message (and perhaps you should see a doctor)

Good review but it looks like the Heartbeat Sensor does work above 99 beats per minute. There is a You Tube Video from Mexico: "i Smart Watch Por 63 dolares? / S2 Sun Review" published on Aug 6, 2015. It's a 7:10 minute Video and at 3:10 minutes the person is showing a heart rate of 105 bpm as well as a EKG of 110 and 111. So it looks like it does measure heart rate above 99 bpm.

My biggest complaint about this watch is the random Loss of Bluetooth connection - yesterday it happened 10 times and the watch was within 3 feet of the holster on my hip with my i phone 5s. Can a software update not correct this problem?

google play

I have a U18, I have managed to install google play store but it will not run. Amazon will install and run but lacks the apps I am looking for, I have installed a few things and they seem to run ok. the U18 U Smart app for the Android phone is not very good. The watch loses touch with the phone frequently. sadly not much for workable apps for smart-watches at this time. The Pebble has the best app selection and app integration of all the smart watches I have.

dear users ..I have sun s2 smart watch and this watch connected to my iphone6 with ios 8.4.. my watch just showing calls and contacts . mediatek smart device application not found sun s2 smart watch ..What can I do to the text messages displayed on the smart watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
I checked the July 7 update software and it was limited to 99 bpm.

Concerning the "random Loss of Bluetooth connection", I seem to have a similar problem. As long as the phone (in my case tablet) screen is ON there is no problem. However when screen blanks, it seems to loose connection.

This could be related to bluetooths' 10 minute go-to-low-power time limit, or simply buggy bluetooth software on phone and/or watch.

Leaving my watch off for a few days worked because it turned on today when I tried it. Now I just need to get the Mediatek app connected.

More info on Loss of Bluetooth Connection - Creativity / Design No 1 Sun S2 Technical Review:

There is a good detailed review (in sometimes broken english) of the No 1 Sun S2 watch by Creativity/Design: http://creativityslashdesign.blogspot.ca/2015/08/no1-s2-sun-technical-review.html

Its 12 pages and was posted Aug 8 2015. It details the poor Bluetooth Connection problems with this watch: " the bluetooth connection sometimes takes a break". It aso mentions unstable bluetooth connection. This is exactly my experience with this watch. Also mentioned is the high battery drain. There are 2 great videos indicating the accuracy of the Heartrate, & EKG as well as the accuracy of the Pedometer. Its well worth reading.
[Other SmartWatches] ricco:
To lessen battery current draw, go to settings/phone/lcd backlight; slide the 2 settings all the way to the left for brightness and time/duration. That way, if you are lighting the watch face with your arm's movement, it's at a very low current draw. You can also engage the power use app. Once you learn what the (worthless) instructions don't tell you, you can then begin to enjoy it, as I have. If you are sitting, working at a desk or such, there is nothing wrong with putting it on its charger for a bit. It recharges quickly.

JoeP1979 I have a iphone 5s and just like you my the Sun s2 watch connected almost automatically to bluetooth on my i phone. I noticed there is a free Mediatek app available on the App Store. But trying to connect it to my s2 watch just didn't work out. Maybe you have to disconnect the Bluetooth connection first to your i phone, and then try the free Mediatek app but not sure. There's also a free Code Scanner app on the App Store where you can click on & scan in the code on the s2 watch - but I think that this only works for Android phones. Can anyone else offer any suggestions?

Bluetooth reconnect

Hi,

i have a problem with bluetooth connection on this smartwatch (updated to last firmware).

The auto reconnect after disconnection for phone bluetooth far away, works only if I come back to the phone within 1 minute or less....otherwise I have to reconnect it manually.

Any way to fix this?

[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
Heres some information I discovered trying to export step, sleep & heart information:

The "Quick response" Icon sends you to a QR Code that links to http://cli.im/FT5K1A from there you can download "Fundo App Android" This links to http://www.kctsv.com/update/fundofompanion/WeLoopBTNotifition.apk

Once installed it creates an application called "Fundo Companion" on the phone. Apparently Fundo is the the Chinese version of "Google Fit". It requires that you create an account on "Fundo". This can be done by clicking "register" on http://www.fundo.cc/main.php?lang=en

This application does the same as the "MediaTek SmartDevice" application with the following additions.

1) It logs "light sleep" and "deep sleep" on a daily basis

2) It logs pedometer on a daily basis

3) Percentage towards daily goal is displayed

4) Graphs of sleep and steps are displayed

5) The "find phone" and "find watch" work

6) Perhaps other things?

Synchronization of data occurs after you press STOP on "Sleep Monitor" or after you press RESET on "Pedometer" and then click "Synchronize Data" on Fundo Companion application.

The "Settings" screen has a selection called "Applications Recommended" which allows you to download the full "FundoHealth" application. "FundoHealth" is a social networking program for finding others who are exercising in your area. The "FundoHealth" has a Synchronize feature, but it does not work with the No.1 Sun S2 watch. Instead the "Fundo Companion" application appears to import the data automatically into the "FundoHealth" application. "FundoHealth" has a "heart beat" menu, but it appears to try and detect heartbeat from the phone, not the watch.

The "MediaTek SmartDevice" application also asks for a google account login, and it appears to import the Pedometer step information into Google Fit. However, it does not load sleep or any other information into Google Fit.

1) The Sensor "heart rate" is accurate? and pedometer?

3) The orginal software of this smartwatch upgrade over time?

4) You recommended this purchase?

In using a phone with a Custom Rom; I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with a Phoenix all in one rom. Mediatek's app did not work with the Custom Rom, but the app named "Smartwear" worked very well. Both are available through Google Play.
[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
ilrisolutore, The "heart rate" and pedometer is accuate (although I read only up to max 99 beats per second)

the S2 watch does not run Android so it is not possible to flash in the future Android Wear.

It is more like a blue tooth headset & dialer + blue tooth notofications + heart and pedometer.

China software was a poor record of offering upgrades.

I would recommend it if you really want a heart beat and/or pedometer attached to your phone in a stylish watch at 1/2 to 1/3 the price of Android Wear. Don't expect software addons.

I use it as a BT dialer for my GSM+Tablet with limited success.
[Other SmartWatches] ilrisolutore:

[Other SmartWatches] Student613:
The Fundo Companion is fair

The battery lasts 1 day with messages and a few phone calls.

It lasts about a week if bluetooth is turned off.

BTW, I find that the eNotify app at Google Store is a good match for the S2 watch. It allows all sorts of special notifications for specific emails.
