I've just received my i5 plus with firmware 2.1.2.3, i've not understand if it is the last firmware or not. If isn't last firmware update where can I find?
[General Accessories] andrei80:
It's the last. Had it not been the last available FW, the app would have notified you and prompted you to download and install
[General Accessories] thuancoihg:
The screen is off too fast when get notification. Anyone have firmware to fix it? I think now screen is off after 5 seconds, i need screen have long time screen on, example 15 seconds after get notification.
[General Accessories] andrei80:
That is true. And it doesn't have notification memory, as the i6. You must be fast to read it or it will just go away.

I just got hit with the bracelet stuck in DFU mode and need help. I have it paired with iWOWNfit app on Android and having noticed that that there is an update, chose to do so and now it is stuck with the app showing an error during the update. It shows up as "i5+-DFU3" along with two more entries "Bracelet-XXXX" and none of the three work for pairing. The Zeroner folder on the internal storage has a file called "rior.bin" of about 6.94KB in size and the datestamp matches the update attempt I tried, however, it seems this is too small to be the firmware update (besides not having the .hex extension). How can I recover from it now? If I must pick a firmware from the OP, how do I determine its version, whether it is 1.0.0x or 1.1.0x?
[General Accessories] andrei80:
Did the phone screen enter standby during update, or bracelet move too far?

First try DFU helper in Profile/Setting in Zeroner/Iwownfit /Pro app. If it doesn't help, there are tutorials with other more advanced methods in thread(never had problems with mine, don't know the methods by heart). Just make sure bracelet is in DFU mode(not completely off), close to phone and phone screen doesnt enter standby. Unfortunately, I don't know how you can tell which revision the bracelet is now that it's in a coma...

A Unicode font can be include to this frameware. Because my language is't suport and because of that my cantacts are not showing on this display properly...

If someone can add uncode please done it for me
[General Accessories] irha:
As luck would have it, my old phone to which this bracelet was bonded has an I5+5p.hex file, so I tried to update firmware from there. For some reason, while trying to pick the file from nRF app showed only rior.bin file in that directory, but by doing a search for "hex" I was able to pick it. After pushing "NO" for the "Init packet" dialog, nothing seemed to happen. I don't see an upload progress and the device is still stuck in the DFU mode.

Edit: It looks like it shows a message, like "DFU FILE NOT FOUND" (see attached picture). Considering that the file was initially filtered out, could the file be incompatible? Either Zerorner/iWOWNfit downloaded it or I did from this thread long ago (I don't remember), so either way I am expecting it to be a good file for this model.
[General Accessories] mojikz:
its too hard for me

dfu cant find my i5

plz help me:crying:
[General Accessories] andrei80:
Bracelet must be started in DFU mode, not off. Unfortunately, I have no experience with flashing these bracelets other than a sucessful update through Zeroner...Just search this thread, you will find all necessary info.

Both zeroner health and iwown fit pro no longer see my i5 plus ! I can't use any of these apps and they looks very good recently. Anyone has them working ? What app are you using ?

LinkSmart but I have used older version than is in Play Store. Everything was working flawless.

After some years my i5 is down, it simply turned off I have try to charge it but after putting it to charger it only light up for a while, earlier it has turned led on and vibrated. Propably the battery is KO.

I have other Q how to disassemble the bracelet to have some chance to assemble it together? Try to lift up the screen? It's glued or there are a gaskets? Thx.

[General Accessories] Zaiaku:
Just wondering have anyone found an upgrade version of the bracelet. I've tried many other bracelets and while the bracelets were good the app didn't provide the same functionality as with this one.
[General Accessories] antouaa:
If you want the same app you must find a bracelet from iwownfit.. A good one that I want to take (when i5 plus will be dead) is IWOWN i6 hrc.

P. S. I agree IWOWNFit app is very good!
[General Accessories] Zaiaku:
definitely a good upgrade, that's for the response, info and recommendation of the i6 hrc.
[General Accessories] oldslowdiver:
I was considering too I6 hr c, but it's still IP67 - and my I5 Plus (which is IP67) got finally damaged after several times I used it in the shower or while swimming, so - for the same price, I opted to get an IP68 such as ID115Plus Color HR.

It works fine with VeryFitPro app.

Just my two cents.
[General Accessories] Zaiaku:
the problem with that one is that the bands stretch out over time and then the device will start to just fall off my wrist many times.
[General Accessories] antouaa:
Another good one but with more money is Honor Band 4
[General Accessories] oldslowdiver:
Yeah, you're right. Actually, it bothered me that I couldn't not use Macrodroid for notifications, and there' s that slight 1sec delay each time I press the bottom to light the screen (I'm talking about ID115Plus Color HR), - so I gave it back to Amazon and found i7a Fitness tracker, which is just a step further after i6 hr c (always by Iwown, and rebranded with several names).

Almost the same software, yet, a cooler smoth design, and look. Easier to remove the straps for recharging. It stores until 5 push messages, there's the weather/degree icon, you can set the vibration mode.. there's more here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRI8LoZnxUM

Cheers.

//////////////////

So, after a couple of weeks with Iwown i7a, which sounded promising, I'm actually going back to i5 plus, because:

i7a is cool, coloured, full of data and fancy features like most of latest fitness wristbands, but it loses too often connection, you can get bluetooth pairing only through two apps (Zeroner Health Pro and Iwownfit pro), and it is impossible to get Android System Bluetooth pairing (I had a try with most of bluetooth pair around, to force bluetooth pairing, - changing pairing pin code, adding mac address, - no way!!!): so, no way to vip list i7A for Google Smart Lock.

Plus, the font used on this fitness tracker is too small for casual reading of push messages, and if you miss one, it's kinda tricky to navigate the menu to reach it again and read it, without the accidental risk of deleting all of the 5 storaged messages.

Last but not least, - the MOST important feature: the bluetooth range is too short, in comparison with i5 Plus.

I have sent a couple of messages to Iwown for assistance, but, no luck.

For hc fans of Iwown, I found these documents of USA FCC which tear down i7a, as well as other Iwown products (https://fccid.io/2AKPH - There's no I5 plus, but, there are shown i7a, i6 hrc, i5hr, i6hr, i6pro) introduced on the american market, from internal photos, to tests, manual etc - pretty cool! https://fccid.io/2AKPH-I7A

Enjoy!
[General Accessories] Zaiaku:
I got the i7a for about a month now. I can't go bacc to the i5+ any more. Here's a few reason why:

band looks and feel more durable (only time will tell)

battery last about 33% longer even with more usage then the i5+ (getting over 3 weeks compare to over 2 weeks)

the band actually let's me know I have a call before my phone does (don't even know how that is possible)

sms notification are the complete msg versus partial

the app is cleaner (i5+ seem to had a few menu that was a pain to get to)

If I can find a way to make all notification to fully display on this thing I will be in heaven.
[General Accessories] oldslowdiver:
Thank you for your feedback. Just for talking: yeah, maybe the band looks more durable, but, it's kinda tricky to remove the tracker from the strap. About the battery during longer.. hmmm kinda hard to tell, it depends on the use you do, - especially if you consider the h24 heart-rate thing, if you want it always on (it's cool!). The push notification is better managed with I7a, yet, the font is too small (they should add an option to make it smaller/bigger through app), - but it's kinda tricky to navigate the menu until the message area, and more than once I accidentally deleted the very message I wanted to read, or I accidentally changed the watch face.

And last but not least: if you temporarily delete the connection with i7a from the app (Zeroner Health Pro or Iwown Pro), and add another wristband (i.e. I5 plus), then you want to re-add i7a, you'll find you have to re-do all the settings from the beginning (alarms, vibrations, push notifications): that pissed me off! - While on the contrary, that won't occur with i5 plus.

And there's still one IMPORTANT THING missing on i7a: the 'find my phone' option. There is not. Since it often loses connection with phone when it's out of (bluetooth) range (and i7a's bluetooth range sucks in comparison with i5 plus, - how strange, maybe they limited the bluetooth spectre to save battery life?), I can't find my phone with i7a, while with i5 plus, yes I can.

i7a:

Bluetooth version: V4.2 BLE

Frequency Range: 2402MHz-2480MHz

Battery 75mah

i5 plus:

Bluetooth version: 4.0 BLE

Freq. Range: I don't know

Battery 75mah

And as I mentioned above, i7a won't work with Google Smart Lock, - it's impossible to make it recognised as trusted device for unlock. - I5 plus will work as a charm, instead.

Of course, i7a's screen is fully readble in a sunny day, but it sucks if you use it (like me) at night, in the dark when you want a small 'torch' always available with you..

Just my two cents!
[General Accessories] antouaa:
Iwown i6 hrC or i7a? Which is better?
[General Accessories] oldslowdiver:
i7a, no doubt about that. i6 hr c doesn't not feature weather (which - still - is fancy as useless and inaccurate). And the band is kinda delicate.

If you find i7G (with gps) is even cooler. But, as mentioned above, I still prefer i5 plus!!!
[General Accessories] Zaiaku:
I don't know how I'm getting a better batter life with it. especially since they have the same battery. The 2 feature you lited, find phone and google smart locc I never use. I really never use the heart-rate censor either. And I do use it as a small torch too lol. Thought I was the only one that did that lol. Removing was weird but after the 3rd time, super simple but we will see how it helps the band last or not.

I haven't accidentally deleted a msg yet. Guess we all have our quirks.
[General Accessories] antouaa:
I think that both of that have the future for weather. Me too I still love my i5 plus and it is difficult to change it.
[General Accessories] andrei80:
I6 HRC is fine. It DOES feature weather, but it only updates when it syncs with app(I7 probably doeas that too), so it's useless because it only autosyncs once a day, as far as I can tell and if you sync manually, you already have access to the forecast. Battery is better than I5, it lasts usually more than 1 week with notifications on. The strap is like a watch strap, so more secure than I5.

One big plus vs I7 seems to be the fact that it has a light sensor and it dims the display when it gets darker, just like a smartphone. That must help with the battery too...

The only little problem I had with it is that recently one of the lips under it that secures it in the strap has brocken. It's still safely in place, but it comes out a bit easier.

the tracking shows it entered France on the 21st, in the morning (Paris CDG airport) so it'll be here, if I'm lucky, tomorrow morning. if not, Monday. this is because they didn't have the all black in stock until the 15th!!!!!!, but that's OK, cause it's now more expensive :)) 20% more... so the wait was worth it!

You can use Zeroner v3.6.6.7 chinesse for upgrade firmware to v 2.0.1.1, for future upgrade check file size into Zeroner folder and use this table for determinate version.

Trick to know the version of a downloaded firmware.

Firmware 1.0.0x file size . hex ~137 - 138 KB. -----> Firmware 2.0.0.x ~ 180 KB.

Firmware 1.1.0x file size .hex ~ 142 -143 KB. -----> Firmware 2.0.0.x ~ 184 - 186 KB

Try to make reset , put pin 23 to ground (yellow point). After try to put in dfu mode.

Hi all,

I'll make a new thread with the iWOWN i7, but for now, I'll tell you about it here, maybe you'l be interested.

It's thin (8.4mm total thickness), light, very well built and although it can be taken apart, it is waterproof (splashes - what I've tested).

I got the full black version (kinda difficult to find, see at geekbuy dot com - the only place where I've found it)

Glass front is tough, the heart sensor is really unnoticeable and, at a close look, it has 2 LEDs, but place for 4 so I'll go on a limb and say it's not gonna do amazing reading for dark skin tones. For me tho', super accurate (verified with a digital medical one)

The battery looks like it'll last for 5 days - I run (during training sessions the heart rate monitor is always on)

It has a dim back light - juust perfect for dark environments.

The touch screen is responsive, tho' I had a few misses with touches, not swipes.

It came in Chinese, but turning everything on end off in the settings menu, you get an icon based menu only and that's the English "version". You have here a hastely made picture album.

Really looking forward to firmware updates. And with this I have a question:

What might cause me to not be able to update the i5 (and it applies for the i7) with zeroner 3.6.6.7? I can only use the procedure in the 2nd post of the thread.
