Yes I know, I also don't trust the rating, but it's better than the "no rating at all" of k18 and k18mini. Splash proof is enough for a smartwatch of this kind..
[Other SmartWatches] linsh:
Hi, could you tell me did D5 has speakers. I have no any sound on it. Geekbuying told there is any volume on this watch...
[Other SmartWatches] aero276:
So I ordered the D5 a couple days ago, does anyone know what US cellular providers would work with this watch? it says it uses GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz; WCDMA 850/2100, and Im worried about the 850/2100 for the 3g...Maybe Tmobile?
[Other SmartWatches] probstc:
With the reported GSM / WCDMA coverage you should be good on AT&T and TMobile (in some places). You are out luck with Verizon though.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
For U.S. market, the K8/Mini/D5, and all the others, are a bad buy. 2100 3G isn't used by itself in the U.S. (T-Mo requires 1700/2100 AWS support or 1900), and 850 3G is extremely limited (I drove from the west coast to the east coast and never got an 850 3G connection).

To make matters worse, all 2G coverage is supposed to go away for AT&T customers by Jan 1st 2017. The only option for these devices is that somebody get the firmware from another MTK6572 device running 4.4 that has a 1900 3G baseband so myself, or somebody else, can do a baseband swap. Even with the swap, and modem tuning, 3G reception will not be the best. So far, I have had no luck in finding a copy of such firmware, even devices to pull from are exceedingly rare.
[Other SmartWatches] aero276:
Hmm. It seems it might not even be worth it to setup the 3g service on this watch, i might get too curious and try it anyways but ill probably just use it for the wifi in combination with Hangouts so I can still call and text.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Fingers crossed that the flood of new devices hitting the market may include this band.

Did the Trusmart watch have it? I noticed it had 4.4 firmware upgrade but as you were involved in that circle - no doubt you have already checked it out....
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
It should have built in speakers. Sounds like a fault.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
The TS never got official 4.4, a number of the other x201's did but not one had support for 1900mhz. Even the new TS+ and TSi lacks 1900mhz support. So 1900 baseband pull from a TS is a dead end. One of the MTK6572 smartwatches that has a thread here supposedly has it (zgpax s82) but nobody ever posted firmware for it.

[Other SmartWatches] jrosado:
I was considering the Bluboo XWatch, but it's taking sometime for it to appear on the market. This seems very similar. Can you answer phone calls with it?

Which one has a better chipset?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
S82, hmmmm. I'll dig around for it. Finally got my K8 mini/D5 today. Hopefully yours will turn up soon.
[Other SmartWatches] MarcSX:
i got the D5 yesterday and my first opinion is.. it is a really great watch...

i inserted a sim card and its working without problem.

now i wanted to install runtastic but it sais my device is not supported... anyone got a good advice for a nice workout and sleeptracking app for this watch?

And my other small prob is.. if i connect my watch to my pc it displays it as a drive and few seconds later its gone.. and again its displayed.. and so on

Hope someone can help me out ;)

thanks

No 1 d5 can open app for Android Wear s.o ?

Someone knows how to apply any watch faces from Google Play?
[Other SmartWatches] hystrix65:
When i had the D5 i installed Runtastic and it worked fine, even if it didn't recognize the hrm. Try to install it from apkmirror instead of google play.

I didn'tfind any sleep tracking.

I had the same problem with my pc, a message appeared: too much energy absorption

2. Creating folder for apps or switches.

3. Changing the floating button style, or DIY your own button.

4. Changing the panel's color, or customize your own color.

5. Set the black list to auto hide the point.

6. Customize the click action of point.

Features list:

1. Clear memory

2. Back/Home button (Need ROOT)

3. Favor apps

Need some help from the community

Trying to verify a possible bug in the D5 160310 firmware.

Parameters:

Fresh install or factory rest of firmware

2G cellular connection only on AT&T (I have no 3G service in my area)

Verified APN entries with AT&T

Issue:

Setting up Google account (launching Play Store method) results in an RH01 error (error retrieving information)

Effect:

Calendar, contacts, Play Store, and even third party email apps, never connect to Google. It always end in an error. I didn't catch this til now because I've been using wifi during initial setup. Doing it over 2G takes way too long.

Requesting:

If some folks could factory reset and try to verify on both a 2G only and 3G connection, that would be a big help. Also please let me know what carrier you are on.

Answer calls & talk directly from No.1 D5 mic while smartphone is connected via BT

Hi, as far as I understand, right now you cannot answer directly a phone call from the No.1 D5 when iPhone6 or an android smartphone is connected and synched with the smartwatch via bluetooth.

Since, this is a big limitation, do you think that sooner or later a firmware upgrade could make it possible? Or this smartwatch will never allow the above funcionality?

Thank you in advance for your highly appreciated support.

Luigi

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Since I read in other articles that it is impossible to make/answer calls and then speak directly through the No.1 D5 (when it is connectecd and sync via bluetooh with a smartphone), can you confirm that you use the No.1 D5 as a phone (listen and talk) with no SIM, but just via bluetooth?

Do you also know if it works even with an iPhone6?

Thank you in advance for your kind reply.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
[MENTION=7363117]luigidelos[/MENTION] No, you cannot use the D5 or K8 Mini as a bluetooth speaker and mic for you phone. It is a firmware issue that can be fixed by the OEM, but if they will ever do it? Not likely.

There is and ever growing thread which has the answers to almost every valid question asked about the D5, K8 Mini and K9. There is a link to that thread in every post I make.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
It is possible the message you quoted is using Bluetooth for tethering to a BT headset, and using the phone feature of the watch from the watch's SIM and NOT tethered also to a phone. That would be logical and should work just like streaming music to a BT headset. You are bringing up perhaps the most wanted feature in a standalone smartwatch phone, and that is to ALSO be able to tether to a separate phone's SIM for placing and receiving calls from the watch without using a SIM in the watch.

I totally don't understand why this isn't a standard part of the firmware for all SIM capable watches, but, as far as I know, it has appeared in only ONE watch so far, the ZGPAX S19 dual watch. Review posted here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la2PUPEsGCo

The problem with that watch is it is extremely limited, has no memory on board to make it useful, doesn't support the Google stuff, including the Play Store, etc. It's just a cheap tethering watch BUT it includes a SIM socket and ability to use BOTH calling methods.

I've gone on and on about this over on the YouTube channel, and still we get this same question over and over. It is puzzling to understand why BT tethering phone calls can be done on a $10 smartwatch but isn't build into a $100+ 'high end' Android watch. I'm going to repeat this one more time in all caps in hopes No.1 or ZGPAX or the raw phone developers are, by chance, following these forums:

<FLAME>

THE FIRST SMARTPHONE DEVELOPER/VENDOR/STORE TO OFFER A STANDALONE SMART WATCH PHONE WHICH, IN ADDITION TO ALLOWING PHONE CALLS FROM THE WATCH VIA A SEPARATE SIM CARD, WILL BE ABLE TO TETHER VIA BLUETOOTH TO ANY STANDARD SMARTPHONE AND PLACE/RECEIVE, TALK/LISTEN FROM THE WATCH USING THE PHONE'S SIM CARD WILL S*E*L*L A L*O*T OF WATCHES!! START INTEGRATE TRUE TETHERING TECHNOLOGY INTO YOUR STANDALONE ANDROID SMARTWATCHES!!

</FLAME>

Oh, that felt good. Now let's hope they listen. There's a lot of money to be made here, and perhaps even a way to blast these Android watches into mainstream use well beyond the overpriced Wear watches.
[Other SmartWatches] ditotay:
Yes, that's true! I've been looking for a smartwatch like that for a long time. I think that a good option could be the Bluboo Xwatch if Bluboo launches it :rolleyes::fingers-crossed:

Let's see.. If someone find a smartwatch with both options please write a post here, lol!
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Bluboo Xwatch is a completely different class of smartwatch. Granted they both run full Android, but the D5 is a watchphone with some companion capability, while the Xwatch is a companion only smartwatch.
[Other SmartWatches] nypdauxx:
Question about launcher sizing

There is alot of helpful info on here but one question I have is is there a launcher that would round out the interface to fit the watch screen perfect. Or a way to tweak it to fit perfect circle on the screen so there are no cut off text etc. If not I think this would be a good idea for a developer to look into and would help alot
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Trying to verify this now - if could get the Fxxxing keyboard to work properly - lol

I'll get there soon and post my results.

One strange thing I have noticed is that USB storage connection seems to be a little odd.

The watch now gets quite hot when transferring large files across and it's fairly unstable.

Don't get me wrong - I know it's unlikely that anything you've done is going to have caused this so I'm wondering if it's another anomaly in the new firmware......

The K9 base did not have this issue for example..
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Well, got the keyboard working at last and it was relatively easy once I pulled my head out of my arse.

I cannot get the same error as you with 2g connectivity though.

It's extremely slow but it works.

USB storage issue seems to have gone as well - must have been a bad setup before - who knows....
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Just to make sure.You set it to 2G only, signed into Google and got working email, play store (tried downloading a small app), calendar, contacts sync? Ugh, I did this on every W812 firmware and ROM release yesterday and only the D5 160310 stock and the 160310 based ROM failed. And is only across 2G that it happens, using BT tether works, using wifi works, as soon as I go to 2G, Google sync issues.

If I can get some more results back from folks that would be big help.
[Other SmartWatches] luigidelos:
I have a Lemfo lem1. Nothing to compare with the power of D5. Nevertheless, I can answer calls and speak from the smartwatch, if connected via bluetooth with my iPhone6. I do not understand why the producer do not allow this option on the D5.

To be honest, I like very much the D5, but I will never use it as a watchphone (to expensive to add a new monthly tariff plan just to play with it).

I just like to have a smartwatch with the possibility to add new clock faces and eventually navigate on the web (or using som apps from the google store) connected to my smartphone via bluetooth (i.e. using data traffic of the SIM inside my smartphone.... But I do not know if it exists?

Any adice?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I only used playstore but it was working. I'll give it another test though because one time I tested it after I'd set the account using 3g.

Then I switched to 2g edge and it was still working.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
I don't even get that. 2G = no google accounts related services at all no matter how it was set up initially. Yeah, I may be able to open the Play Store if it was set up using BT or WiFi but any download errors out.

[MENTION=7363117]luigidelos[/MENTION] The Lem1 and the D5 are two completely different device classes. The D5's primary function is as a phone, the Lem1's only function is as an accessory.
[Other SmartWatches] guygenius:
I may sell my D5 on ebay for precisely the same reason. The smartwatch is of no used to me if I can't receive calls or whatsapp messages on the watch. Have you looked at No 1's latest offering - No1 G3 - which is basically mimics Samsung Gear S2. Sells for <$60 on GeekBuying. From the review videos that I saw, you can receive calls on the watch. The companion helper app in phone also seems to be having more bells and whistles. It also has GSM capability (just 2G) and supports micro SD card upto 16GB.
[Other SmartWatches] Jequan:
It can't recieve whatsapp messages either? Damn i thought it only lacks bluetooth tethered phone calls. No push to D5? I guess mine gets sold the moment i get it. I thought you can connect it to the phone via watch app. No whattsapp support via that app? The shop i bought it from says sync notices from your phone though.
[Other SmartWatches] guygenius:
It just notifies that you have received message but you won't know what the content is or who has sent it.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
I don't use whatsapp, but I thought you could download the basic app from the Google Play Store and it would work on the watch. If whatsapp is tied to your phone number on your phone, I remember reading somewhere that you could put your phone's SIM in another phone (or, in this case, your D5 watch), login to whatsapp referencing the installed SIM, then remove your SIM and still have whatsapp connectivity. In other words, I think the article was indicating you could have one whatsapp account (in your phone) but receive and send from two devices logged into the same account. That would get you your whatsapp stuff on the watch as long as you were connected WiFi. Does this make sense? Is this correct? Has (can) anyone try this?

It is clear there is limited whatsapp notification to the watch using the lame BT tethering, but, being a standalone Android phone, is there the possibility of full whatsapp functionality by installing the app directly?
[Other SmartWatches] guygenius:
Unfortunately, that is not true for whatsapp. You can only get it to run on one device. One can activate whatsapp on a tablet for example by doing some tricks but then mobile device will stop getting whatsapp messages.
[Other SmartWatches] ido.aflalo:
Maybe someone can make it to work - Whatsapp

First of all, I am new in XDA so don't kill me :) Second, I am sorry if my English will be weird.

I am a big fan of whatsapp, I am using it all day.

I have a rooted No.1 D5 watch. Like the other people who said above, when you receive a notification in your watch, you get only the title and the content.

In the whatsapp case:

The title is: Whatsapp(The name of the app).

The content: the content of the message(Without the name of the contact: only the content).

I am not a big expert but I used the app "Show Java - A Java Decompiler" and I managed to see all of the files. I think that maybe someone can change the app to send parameters different(Maybe something with the Xml's files).

I mean instead of sending the title of the app, it will send the name of the contact in the title and the content will be the same.

Or even, to make the title the same(with the name of the app) and to make the name of the contact to appear in the content.(For ex, Title: Whatsapp ; Content: hello |To be like -->| Title: Whatsapp ; Content: (the name of the contact)+ hello(the message)).

If someone can make it, It will help for many people.

Thanks!!

I cannot attach link for downloading the app so you can find it on google by searching: app2open download
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
first of all I LOVE my D5 way better than zgpax s8\s82 and the k9 (not round).

second if u have BT headset and u see a call on your watch you can use the BT to answer it even my watch is conacted to the BT when i'm not with my phone. third the ONLY app which does'nt allow you to put it on more than one device is whatsapp, i do'nt really like this app because of that i prefer the hangout more and i use the same one on my watch and phone the same for most apps like gmail, massenger... most watches that u can answer calls and sms ( who use???) are limited, to answer calls and sms you need the phone to be around so you get notification and if it is important to you to answer it just pick the phone up and call as i said BT.

BTW i'm amazed how fast it charges less than a half an hour (i use my note 4 fast charger).

The only issue with 2g and 3g (they work but not great) i want to check if it is because of the sim or as been said the last update got something to do with it.

Need some help please with my NO.1 D5. I am experiencing problems when trying to make & receive calls / messages. I live in the UK. See below trouble shooting steps carried out;

1. Inserted my EE SIM to which it started working on & off through out the day (had to keep on rebooting). So I therefore re-flashed the firmware to see if that was the issue.

2. Now I am unable to make & receive calls / messages, despite that I have a strong connection (according to the signal bar).

3. Tried another EE SIM which determined I had new voicemail, but again was unable to make & receive calls / messages

4. Inserted Vodafone SIM and did not get a signal at all

5. Tried the alternative ROM mentioned on Page 1, however the 'Mobile Connection' section under Settings was completely greyed out

When the above mentioned SIMs are inserted into other phones then they work without error.

I'm really hoping that this is a software bug and not hardware, don't really want to be sending my item back.

Is anyone able to assist please?

Thank you

[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Glad you like your D5! About your comment on answering phone calls, I'm not sure I understand fully. It sounds like you have your watch connected via BT to your phone using tethering and you have your watch connected to your headset, also using BT. So you have two active BT connections with your watch, right? So you're saying if a call comes into your phone, you will see the notification on your watch, and, if you want to take the call, you activate your BT headset and you will be connected to the call?

Just to be clear, you're not BT connected from your headset to your phone, but instead connected from your headset to your watch? So as long as you wear your watch and BT headset, and have your phone somewhere nearby within BT range, you can see who's calling on your watch and answer by activating your BT headset? There's still no way to call out with this connection, right? All you can do is answer, but you don't need to touch your phone, right?

Now, about whatsapp. I found the articles I was talking about and share them with you (and others) here. Can you look through them and see if this might work? It's focused on no-SIM WiFi only tablets, but it might apply to another SIMless phone or a D5 watch. Real curious if this approach, either with Chrome or standalone app will work. As I said, I don't use whatsapp (yet), so I'm relying on you and/or others to try this out and report back. Thanks! Here are the links:

[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
Check the four small springs on the circuit board. They have to touch the four pad inside the back cover of the watch.

Check also the four springs inside dock charger.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
I've been trying to track this issue down for days with no luck. I've eliminated SIM, carrier, Google, and gapps as the cause. I put up a public request for verification from other users in the D5 G+ community (which is where I'm spending most of my time now).
[Other SmartWatches] :
Following on from this, I emailed Gearbest who have informed me that the watch cannot support the SIM card I'm using here in the UK. Seems a tad odd considering when I inserted my EE SIM on day 1, I was able to make & receive calls / messages (did have to reboot at times). Maybe I'll try downgrading back to the December 2015 firmware...
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
i think it is more the bands and coverage issue than the watch itself for example the k9 (not round) did'nt work at all i could'nt even get to apn settings. the only downside of 3g is that it is always roaming even when it is not checked.

Does the wifi issue of turning off when the screen is off can be fixed?

i have a bug with SIM card. if I use the watch only at home or work - no problem.

if use on the road, changing different radio cells, and sometime loosing signal (elevator or underground), after a while, watch does not receive and send phone calls.

If I do a manual operator search does not find any operator.

The only way to make phone calls is reboot. Tested with different sim card and carrier.

Please! somebody help solve this problem!
