Same problem for me. When it loses the signal is no longer able to connect with the network. Signal indicator freezes. The search does not find any network. Sometimes I can reset it by turning on and off airplane mode. Other times I have to restart the watch.

I also tried to record a log using mtk engineering. I started the log with working network, then went underground to lose signal. When the clock froze I stopped the log. But the log file is very difficult to understand for me.

I think it's a problem with the baseband or sim incompatibility.

Please can someone try to lose signal and check this problem ?
[Other SmartWatches] alexD:
I've been reading all related threads (D5, K8/mini, watch faces, etc.) for a couple of months now. Even before I had even received my D5.

But I have to confess (as a noob) I'm a little lost on the best options of Rom to flash and how to root the watch.

I understand your latest Rom (based on the last firmware made available by N1) had some kind of problem and you had to roll back, right?

So I'll probably be one of the happy watch owners that will be grateful for your guide and list of needed tools.

Many thanks for your time!

I covered it in the FAQs on G+, it seems to work as long as you have wifi on. Wifi doesn''t have to be connected to anything, just turned on. Not sure if there even needs to be a detected wifi signal, still need to disconnect to wifi antenna to watch to verify.

Oh, it seems to only effect the app though. With wifi off, faces still seem to update. Odd to say the least.

Hi, does this watch support Google now? I.e. Can I wake it up by saying ok Google and asking a question? Also, does it support always on where it will display time all day long without me having to wake it up?

Thank you!

No to both.

thanks i'll try it :)
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
For " wake it up by saying ok Google", Open Mic+ doesn't work well. The display has an extremely short timeout, and gives you all of 2-3 seconds to trigger Open Mic+ with "OK Google", have it launch Google, ask your question, and provide results. Even with the CPU locked at both cores running at 1ghz all the time, the chance of success is very slim.

In practical use, Open Mic combined with a power button press is the only way it works with any reasonable amount of success.

EDIT

Support from Google as to why the "OK Google" everywhere option is missing on any device that should support it is nonexistent.

Try the itunes/playstore app "Medaitek SmartDevice" this is an android app which you install on your phone. The app lists 15 functions one of which is push inbox messages from phone to the watch.

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

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mediatek-smartdevice/id897767175?mt=8

My D5 Bluetooth paired to my android phone, under "settings", "connect", "bluetooth", "(name of my paired phone)", "(settings icon)", "profiles" lists only "Internet access. Use for internet access". When you tap that, it says "Unable to use bluetooth tethering when connected to wifi". This might be the firmware bug referred to by Lokifish Marz. It doesn't let you use bluetooth to exchange audio/messages/data with your phone, while you're on wifi.

Any ideas how to get D5 and iphone 6, latest ios, work together with health app?

Mediatek smartdevice doesn't find D5, phone and watch is connected via X1-NC.

I would love to get that working...
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
"MediaTek Smartdevice" is for smartwatches with MTK25xx and 26xx CPU's running NucleusOS only, so it won't work for the D5. The proper method for notifications on iOS is covered in my FAQs.

The only thing I reference regarding BT is the lack of full BT services. Which is more an omission on their part vs a bug.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Very true. I found an interesting workaround though. When raising my arm, I touch the display when I see the watch face. That activates the watch and gives time for WiFi to connect. I give it about 10 seconds or so, then OK Google away. Since the results are going to take you away from where you are anyway, it doesn't much matter that you're not on the watch face. What mattered was for the watch to stay active for a little longer than the arm raising allows. I keep looking for tricks to avoid using my sacred button whenever possible. :)

[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Wow, I don't have an answer for you on that as I always use WiFi, even when hotspoting to my phone. I'll try and look into it and I'll be following other answers you receive here as well. If a solution pops up that doesn't require rooting, flashing, or factory resetting, I'll probably do a video on it to help others out as well. I have read that there appear to be two different BT signals coming from the watch, so perhaps one works for what you want and the other may be for headset audio. Curious to see what you find out, and if it will work consistently and with decent speed compared to WiFi. Also interested in comparing battery drain between the two. Thanks for asking this.

Bluetooth Tethering from D5 to Android Phone

Wow, I just tried it and it worked first time! Stable, too. OK here's what I did. I'm on an LG G3. Start with WiFi off on your watch and BT off on both you watch and phone. Here are my steps. I'm going to do it again right now:

1. On your phone, go to Settings and under the Networks tab, select Tethering & networks

2. Turn Bluetooth tethering on -- if it passes Authenticating your good to go, otherwise contact your carrier for authorization

3. On your watch, go to Settings and then Connect and finally Bluetooth.

4. Turn Bluetooth on and press Search at the bottom.

5. Look for your phone's name in the list and tap the configuration icon to the right of the name.

6. Put a check next to Internet Access. DON'T SKIP THIS STEP OR IT WON'T WORK!

7. Your first time you may get a warning to make sure the code shown matches on both devices. If it does, tap OK and you're connected.

Now it's your turn: You get to do a power test for us all by running an hour or so on BT tethering starting with full charge and letting the battery drain. Then do it again after charging back up and using WiFi hotspot. Let us know which is more power efficient, OK? Thanks!

UPDATE:

I'm getting 18MB Down and 4MB Up speed from my phone's WiFi connection

I'm getting 0.85MB Down and 0.75MB Up from my D5 via BT tethering to my phone (connected to WiFi as above)

With my D5 watch connected to the same WiFi as my phone, I'm getting 26MB Down and 5.5 MB Up

I could D5 connect WiFi to my phone in hotspot, but connectivity would depend on my cellular speed. This is enough to tell me that I won't be watching YouTube on my watch while BT tethering. Interesting.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

I'm connected by my phone through WiFi, not SIM data. You might try turning carrier data off, set WiFi on and give it a try. If that doesn't work, try WiFi off and carrier data on. If neither work, contact your carrier to make sure they support BT tethering. Also make sure you're not automatically connecting to another BT device. Delete all your paired devices -- oh, and delete the paring to your phone each time and start over with BT off, then on, etc.

By the way, you've shown me a way I can now tether the watch to my phone and just switch my phone from WiFi to cellular data and back and not have to mess with WiFi hotspotting which forces my phone's WiFi off and makes me use cellular data. I never really thought about the advantages of Bluetooth tethering. Nice.

Bluetooth tethering works fine with my HTC ONE phone too. Stable and not too hungry on power. It can use my HTC's wifi as internet source, so, works without 3g on the HTC.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yep, BT tethering works very well and with the CELL data and WiFi turned off, it can help your watch stay on for a much longer time.

Battery usage

Hi! And sorry for my bad english, for the beggining:D

Last week i tested my D5 for battery usage, and what i had seen:

Working: 3G + Facebook Lite + K9 mail +Heads-Up notifications

The clock on the table - battery consumption 2% per hour

The clock on the wrist - battery consumption 5% per hour

It because of PEDOMETER?:confused::confused::confused:

Hey pablo11, have you tried to do it the other way round? Using the phone as the client to bluetooth tether to the D5? My main sim is in the phone now and a prepaid sim in the D5.

I have D5. Is it possible to change the strap of the watch on the rubber, similar to that in the k9?

[Other SmartWatches] Mark_Lee:
D5 have an antenna in the strap. So it can't be replaced without some special skills. You must take antenna out of strap without interrupting, and than insert it into the new strap. For me the strap of D5 is not replaceable))

bluetooth problems

I'm connected to watch via bluetooth.

i'm on the new march 10 firmware.

My smartphone is galaxy s5

i'm encountering a lot of disconnections during the day. the only solution is to reboot the watch.

can somebody have a solution for this ? or it is a known problem with this watch.
[Other SmartWatches] Elroy_b:
pablo11 , maybe you know this:

Since i installed the latest update from D5 for MAC adress fix i have the following problem:

Did a fresh install of everything including nova launcher.

Before i could choose a lot of Widgets direct from nova launcher like; Gmail. Whatsapp message, Google Fit etc.

Now these widgets doesn't appear in the widget list anymore, even in other launchers they are not there.

Setting back the saved settings file from my watch before update gives me the widget gmail, but it states something like setup/initialize (not sure how it's stated in english)

Do you know what the problem might be, or maybe someone else?
[Other SmartWatches] alexD:
Hi all. Finally got my hands on my D5 a few days ago =)

I bought it as a N.1 D5, but it's probably from a different manufacturer, as it arrived with a white regular package (not the colored N.1 box I've seen on some videos around), neither it shows the N.1 logo on booting.

But that is OK because it works perfectly so far and it's so beautiful!

Even tested 3G, and it works well with my TIM Brazil SIM card. Tested only in one spot though. Did not move to see it's behavior while changing antennas.

I'm pretty amazed with it and so glad I bought it, even though I had to pay for importing taxes =(

Next steps will be flashing Loki's Rom on it, and starting playing with skins, which I've been seeing you guys having so much fun with it :D

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

I've been playing around testing several apps on my D5, and decided to share my thoughts about a couple of them that I wanted to keep, and maybe help someone out there seeking for this kind of apps.

The first one is a file manager, as the stock one is not too powerful.

This one has even the possibility to link to your DropBox and Drive accounts.

It's called File Manager, as dozens of them are =), so I put the play store link on the description of the YouTube video.

It's a pretty simple video but it shows how the app works on the round screen.

Here's another one: Brave Browser.

So far, this is the browser that works better for me on this device.

It works with "bubbles" as a layer on top of any other app (even the watch face) and it's so easy to open/close them, as well as switch between open pages with just a swipe.

Back to previous page can also be done with a simple gesture.

But the best thing is, when you swipe the page all the way up, it shows the bubble on the top, moving the window a little down, what gives you a way to access the website menus, which are many times at the top right or top left of the page.

Heart rate sensor

Hello. First time poster here, but long time reader & follower. Loving the D5 thus far.

Quick question for the group - does your heart rate sensor show 2 green flashing lights when measuring, or only 1? I noticed mine only uses 1 and the heart rate results are usually much different when compared to my phone's heart rate sensor (ie: 55bpm vs. 85bpm).

I'm thinking I may have a defective sensor, and figured if most of you have 2 blinking lights that would prove the issue.

Thanks in advance,
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Don't worry - mine and I think all of them only use the one green beam for heart rate.
