[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonixxx:
Hello and thanks for taking time to read my thread. I'm posting because under my Google account in system settings, I see many sync options which are redundant, exact duplicates, or completely vague. I'm hoping someone knows some more about any of these and why there are duplicates.

I've tried searching Google and XDA, but there just seems to be no info on this. Only thing I found was another thread from a year ago asking about some different options under Google account sync settings, but the thread never reached an answer.

The individual settings I have are below and I've noted the ones which I don't understand. Any help or tips in the right direction for getting clarity on this will be greatly appreciated!

App Data

[*]Calendar

Chrome — I assume this syncs recent/open tabs and history from Chrome running on my PCs, but...

ChromeSync — then how does this differ from "Chrome"?

Contacts

Credentials State — ???? o_O

Game Data

[*]Game Data — Why are there two of these? And does anyone know what data it actually syncs? Scores, achievements? Will Play Games still integrate the same way with the few games I play if I turn these off?

Gmail

[*]Google Fit data

Google Opinion Rewards —This was already off, but I still get notifications for new surveys. So what is this even for?

Google Play Music

Google Play services — o_O

Google Play services — O_o

Google Play services — o_O Holy hell, why must there be three of these completely nondescriptive entries?? My best guess is that these are some catchalls that Google threw in because either A) they are lazy or B) they wanted to lump some things together so you couldn't disable certain things you might find intrusive or unnecessary without breaking something else you actually do want which is bundled into these entries.

Google+

Google+ Photos

Google+ Uploads — What uploads are there other than photos?

Keep

Location Reporting and Location history — How does this differ from the location history setting in the "Google Settings" app? I can turn either one off and the other stays on, so they seem to be independent settings.

Offline credentials sync — I can't seem to figure out what offline credentials are used for in Android or whether I actually utilize them. Is there any way to know?

People details — Another confusing one. I would assume this had to do with contacts if there wasn't a separate entry for that. Anyone have a clue what this is?

Push subscriptions — AFAIK, I don't have any subscriptions via my Google account, but I assume this will break some important notifications of some sort. Anyone know?

Bump

I'm curious as well
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anachronizer:
It's probably because you guys have the 'Reveal Hidden Sync' feature in Greenify enabled like I have.

It's not a bad thing really, probably Google's way of syncing account data. Multiple Play Service sync for different data, Credential for payment methods stored in your account (nothing unsafe if you have 2F enabled), Push subscriptions because there are many apps that use GCM push etc. It's really nothing to worry about. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonixxx:
Haha. Yeah, thanks. I had figured that out some time after posting this thread, but never updated here since it looked like no one else cared anyway :p

I suppose the differentiation between the duplicates is really only relevant in the code or the syncing process itself and not so relevant to the user. I do still have "People details" and the Opinion Rewards (which doesn't seem to affect the app receiving new surveys) when the Greenify option is turned off, so I still really wonder what those are for. :rolleyes:

Info on Mediatek

Right now my Mediatek seems to work just fine but I know that it is not working for most people. For some reason, when I go to the play store and search "Mediatek" and pick the app, it says that it is not installed yet and I can install it. I am not sure why this happens or how to fix it. I don't want to risk my watch connection and reinstall Mediatek but I am sure that if I did, I would have the same problem. I have found a few apps that look similar to Mediatek that I will post below. Please share if one of the apps worked.

The review

In the review, I included the APK that is working for me and a few other people.

Hopefully the APK works for you too and if you need any help, just leave a comment and I will usually respond within the next day or so.
[Other SmartWatches] B0ssH:
APK Not available

Hi,

As I mentioned in your review, I just scanned the QR code, website opened succesfully, but links to download the APK are offline. Do you have the APK for me?

The Mediatek app on the playstore keeps saying "Connecting...". Tried everything, reinstall, reset of the watch, none of them worked.

Also, is there anyway to customize the firmware or install / program extra applications?

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I can upload the apk that I am currently using to my review tonight and the only way to customize the firmware/apps that I know of are the 3 apps that you can download from the Mediatek app (Yahoo weather, Codoon, Digital watchface)
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I have uploaded the apk (V1.1.1) to the review.

Hope it works!
[Other SmartWatches] B0ssH:
Same as Play Store

Thanks for uploading, too bad it's the same version as the one on Play Store. Application keeps saying "Connecting.." while the watch connects perfectly by bluetooth. Reset / reinstall nothing did the trick.

Guess MediaTek wasn't joking with their description:

Thanks anyways..
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
Hmmm, Ill keep looking for another solution and if I find one, I will be sure to tell you about it.

Sorry it didn't work
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I have extracted the APK that is working for me and added it to the blog post. You can download it at the bottom of the review (near the not working one)

Hope it works
[Other SmartWatches] B0ssH:
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response and help. Will try the APK as soon as I get home from work. I'll let you know if this one works, I think it will.

I saw another app at the playstore with the same version of the MTK apk u just uploaded, and that one connected directly to the watch. Only problem was that it was only in Spanish. So I hope the apk u just uploaded will work the same :)
[Other SmartWatches] nadivar:
Hi, could you tell me what´s this apk in Spanish, Please? url?

Thanks

[Other SmartWatches] nandixtr:
Hello,

I tried to install the APK, but after the download when i try to open the application , it can not be opened.

The other APK, that has the massage "it may not work" is not working for me. I can install the app, but not connecting.

Can you please help me?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
So it seems that the newest version of the APK (one with message "it may not work") does not seem to be working for anyone. the other APK has worked for me and a few others. If it can't be opened I would check that you can install APK from unknown sources in settings but, if you were able to install the other APK then that is not the problem. Try re-downloading the working APK and re-installing it.

Is there an error message or number when you try to install the APK? If so please tell me and I might be able to do some more research.
[Other SmartWatches] nandixtr:
"Can not open file" is the only message .

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

So, i re downloaded the app and now it works. Thank you.

ned help with firmware upgrade

I just got my G2 today and tried to upgrade the firmware to the alternate version with Hebrew support. I followed the directions but get stuck on 0% . I think that the drivers were not installed correctly as when I ran the driver installation prog. (as admin) it gave me the message that XP drivers were installed sucessfully. I tried going into the vista/V7 folder and right clicking the .inf file to install but got the same message that you got in the other thread that this inf can't be installed this way. How did you get around this problem and install the correct drivers?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I have had some problems just like this and unfortunately I have no solution. I can give you some links to update guides.

Link 1 - For the NO1 Sun which should be the same upgrade process

Link 2 - For the NO1 Sun which should be the same upgrade process
[Other SmartWatches] motisu:
Neither of these helped. I still had driver problems. I finally solved the problem by installing the drivers on an old Windows 7 32bit system.. Once they were installed, everything went smoothly. Now I have a different problem. I found a language "C" ROM dated 04-10-2015 and flashed this. It is newer than the "C" ROM on No.1's site which is from 03-02-2015. Unfortunately, in both of these ROM's the Pedometer and the heart rate monitor don't work. Anyone have a newer ROM that they do work in?

BTW, I received the watch with a ROM dated 07-06-2015 and it had "motion" in the settings which allowed the watch to be turned on by wrist movement. also to answer calls and to turn off alarms. It worked very nicely, but it was a "A" language ROM so I overwrote it with the older ROM. I wish that No.1 would make it publicly available and also the "C" language version of it.
[Other SmartWatches] Faizalmattola:
please help

i have same problem with you, but my g2 rom is lang b v1 dated 04-10-2015 where u get lang c dated 04-10-2015 ? and also in the Official website said "NO.1 G2 Official Firmware 2015. May 20" but after download in folder said lang c 03-02-2015 now i confused, have u tried the update from the website, if u do , now the rom is 03-02-2015 or 20-05-2015, cos my g2 often disconnect with my device (meizu m2 note), even they in the close range.

does any body seems like me

Pedometer

Does the pedometer work for anyone? Does it need to be connected to the pedometer on the phone? Thank you
[Other SmartWatches] motisu:
Hebrew support

It did work on the original ROM that the watch came with dated 07-06-2015, but I wiped it because I needed the Hebrew. Unfortunately, I did not know of any way to back that ROM up before I wiped it and it doesn't seem to be available anywhere so it is lost to us for now.
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
It seems to work just fine for me. It does not send the data to the phone and stores all logs on the local memory.
[Other SmartWatches] wroigo:
I'm on 7/6/15 lanb v1 rom and the pedometer doesn't work at all, even tried factory reset.

HI, I have the same versión 7/8/2015 and pedometer works, but I don´t know if the information is correct...
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
It seems to work fine for me even when disconnected from the phone. It does not sync step data with the phone. All of the step data logs are stored on the watch.

Hi all. Is it just me, or when I install the Codoon app. it is all in Chinese, and none of my "so-called" exercise functions work, such as steps, heart rate, anything that deals with health aspect of watch doesn't work. Can you maybe tell me what I am missing or doing wrong?? appreciate any help you can give. Thanks

none of my things work. Pedometer, heart rate, sleeping....etc. and I flashed the newest firmware.

When I turn my watch on it says "application does not exist" you ever seen that? but then it boots up like normal, except that none of the " health " functions work at all. sound familiar?

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

hey guys Im sorry, but one last thing....whenever I go into the notifications tab on the Mediatek app, it always does a " FC "....where you check what notifications you want synced with watch, system and apps,,,always " FC " does this happen to anyone else?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
So I don't know why but it seems that everyone is having trouble with pedometer and stuff. I don't know about Codoon or Fundo. The working Mediatek is located on my review here.
[Other SmartWatches] nadivar:
In my case Mediatek doesnt work
[Other SmartWatches] mlips821:
Yes I have that apk, also have the newest firmware for the watch and the flashing tool for it. will try it again later this morning.

Also, when your watch is connected to your phone via bluetooth, what symbols are on your watch and what color are they?

I have a pair of headphone looking thing ( which is white ) and also the bluetooth symbol, (which is half blue / half green ) does yours look like that? thanks in advance
[Other SmartWatches] motisu:
Did they come originally with this version or did you find it online and flash it? As I said, mine originally came with this version and the pedometer DID work but stopped after I flashed the older version. If you have this ROM as a file, it would be interesting for me to flash it back and see if the pedometer starts working again.....
[Other SmartWatches] nadivar:
I saw four different Bluetooth colors

White - No connected

Blue/green - connected

Only blue????

Only green ????

Could you knows that means?

Anybody has the users manuals?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
Only Green is connected via bluetooth but not connected to the Mediatek app I think.

And I have never had only blue
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I usually have the headphones and the blue/green Bluetooth icon. I will add an explanation of each symbol to my review soon.
[Other SmartWatches] nadivar:
I just update fundo apk to 2.2.8 version.

Try fully powering down the watch and charging it until it is full then forget the watch on your phone. Next re pair the watch with your phone.

Hope that works.

Does anyone know of a way to put more apps on it? Mediatek only has one watch face and 1 app I can get. Is there a way. To make apps for it? And does anyone know if there is a way to root the mediatek link it is on this watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I don't think that there is a way to get more apps on it. Mediatek might have an app development kit somewhere on their site but I'm not sure. Sorry
[Other SmartWatches] zshep99:
Ok, and do you know of a root method or custom Rom for this watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I do not know of any sorry. If you find any could you post them in this fourm? Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] zshep99:
Would there possibly be a way to modify a firmware file and also the flashing utility for updating the is to create a custom Rom?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I am not sure. The firmware and flash tool are located here if you want to give it a try.
[Other SmartWatches] zshep99:
Ok, if I mess up, would I possibly be able to just re flash the stock firmware? I'm kind of a noob to some of this stuff. I always like to have a fail safe
[Other SmartWatches] zshep99:
And what should i use to edit the firmware file and flash utility?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I have no idea sorry D:
[Other SmartWatches] zshep99:
Ok, I will see what I can do, and would I be able to re flash the stock firmware if something goes wrong?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
I think they have the firmware available on their site. People have been reporting that this new firmware didn't work with some of the features including the heart rate monitor. It is your choice if you choose to do this.
[Other SmartWatches] zshep99:
k, i will see what I can do, but I cant seem to find anything to oopen the dmg files and edit them.
[Other SmartWatches] DaGreenMile85:
so i cant add like android wear and be able to change the clocks and what not just the basic thats on the watch

Apps for this device

Hey, I'm getting a NO.1 G2.. Are there any games and other useful apps for this device that I can get, because the inbuilt apps (Digital Clock and Yahoo Weather) aren't too useful to me. Thanks ;)
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
Unfortunately, the only apps that can be installed are the ones from the mediatek app. I believe there is a way to install custom firmware on the watch but I'm not sure.

Yes there is. you can only replace the 2 clock faces and wallpapers ATM, but that is still better than nothing.

Hello, I have the No1 G2 smartwatch and all was working fine for a few days then all of sudden once it auto shuts off it will not come back on. when the home button is pressed as you normally would to turn it back on, the screen just flashes 1 time. I have to do this process like 20 times then finally it turns back on...sometimes. I thought maybe the battery wasn't charged enough but after charging for a decent amount of time it just does the same thing. Anyone else experience this? any suggestions on a fix?
[Other SmartWatches] Kir13y:
Did you test the micro USB cable with a different device to make sure that isn't the problem? If not, I would recommend checking it with a phone or tablet to make sure those are getting charge. I will look around on the web for other solutions as I am guessing you have already tried this.

Google drive is saying the APK file is infected with a virus and its not downloadable anymore.. I need a new link to download it..?

Just got this watch,always wanted it,I got it half price,£24.99 bran new,so it was the only one on ebay at the time.I like it,I got It cos I have gone through about 4 Chinese watches cos they are not waterproof.The last watch I got before this one was a clone of the Apple watch,but thats not waterproof too so that got wet and but manage to get it on the radiator quick enough to save it from short circuiting.I did get 2 other watches too that look like this one but the strap were different and the straps on them watches break at the base of the watch where the strap connect to the watch,they are about £12 now and if you see them of ebay and you will, stay away from them they are crap.Another thing on why I got this watch is cos of it strap ,it uses the same strap as the SG2 Neon.well it would it a clone of it.

You have to say thanks to Star Trek for these watches cos if you look at the first film they made,Star Trek: The motion Picture,it was made in 1979 and guest we would be using them in the future..:) They are taking on a watch to the ship when they are on V'Ger, I always thorght it was Knight Rider,well you can get things wrong,I am only human..:)

How do you go about updating the firmware on the No 1 G2 watch..?

how do you connect it to the PC to flash it..?

is there a step by step guide,I am use to flashing phones so is it the same..?

Mine is AG2_PLUS_LANGB -V1-2015-07-06

One thing that is annoying,is the date on the watch,its backwards,in the UK we say it like this so today's date is.. 01.03.2017 not 2017.03.01 and there is no way of changing it in the settings.
