I have big problems with the D5 and the companion app on my smartphone (Meizu Mx4).

I paired the device and lanched the application in order to sync also whatsapp notifications...but...

after a while the connection is lost and I'm not able to reconnect them because the app say that there is no connection?!.

I also tried to unpair the devices and pair them again, but it does not work.

Maybe someone has some ideas? :confused:

Hello everyone.

I´m new and I´d want to make some questions.

Anyone has used as a phone?

How it works?

I have a ZG PAX s8 and I´m very happy with it, but this NO. 1 D5, since I`ve watched it I´m in love with it:rolleyes:D. I want it to use it as a phone like my ZG PAX s8. Anyone knows if it works as ZG PAX s8, (whatsapp, playstore, etc.). I would like to use it with a sim.

Thanks in advanced.
[Other SmartWatches] aeron16:
I have an s8 too. the d5 works fine for whatsapp, play store etc although some apps are not that easy to use with a round screen. using mine with a sim as well for calls and data. main thing though is there is no camera built in unlike the S8
[Other SmartWatches] Netkune:
Best ZGPAX s8 or NO.1 D5?

Certainly yes, D5 has not camera, I´d like the watch had camera instead heart rate sensor but anyway the watch it,s really cool.:D

Have you tested D5 with sim? Would you change s8 by D5?

Thanks in advanced from Asturias.
[Other SmartWatches] ruggs1234:
Can I ask an unrelated question? (As you have an S8 and a D5).

How strong is the vibrate on an D5? I have an S8 and the vibrate is too weak to be reliable. An Android Wear Sony Smartwatch 3 has a much stronger vibrate.

How does the vibrate on the D5 compare with the S8?
[Other SmartWatches] avipenina:
any one??

what about apps that support this kind of watch (calc,stopwatch,etc..)
[Other SmartWatches] probstc:
It does this as well for me, and I personally appreciate this feature as without it you risk depleting the battery in no time. Also as I use it as a full fledged phone with cellular and data, once the WiFi stops the cellular data continues to pick up notifications. The D5 seems optimized for maximum battery conservation, which is a good thing.
[Other SmartWatches] aeron16:
yes I do use my D5 with a sim. works fine for that purpose. looks wise and stock interface wise it is way ahead of the S8 and I do. it regret getting the D5!

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

The vibrate on my D5 (especially when using the watch helper app) is way stronger than my S8. sometimes it's too strong to me! however due to this, it also makes quite a loud buzzing sound when vibrating!

Dear All Hi Good Morning

I bought a D5 Watch from Gearbest.com. I received it yesterday. Its not connecting to charger properly means when i connect it to charger its not charging. Charger is not gripping the watch tightly. I used a hair clip to hold them both then it started charging.... Bad Experience with no. 1. Now trying to negotiate with gearbest. I am using LG G watch with similar kind of magnetic charger and it never did so.

Hi,

I have just received my D5 from Gearbest. However, i have a issue with the wake up feature.

Once my D5 went to sleep mode, i will not be able to wake it up despite pressing the side button. The screen will stay blank(black) and i will need to reboot it in order to get the watch working again

I have already done the following setting (Settings - Power saving - Open Flip bright screen).

Could someone kindly advise what is wrong with my watch?

Thanks.

For me Is too much aswell... I it was just 1 vibration but is 3....
[Other SmartWatches] kromano:
Hi there,

I really like this watch (D5), so I am think I´ll buy this, but I have some questions:

1) I want to use this without SIM card - just remote my phone (sms, calling, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Gooogle now, remote camera,...). Is it possible?

2) Is it possilbe remote music player (I don´t want to listen music through watch - just remote music player in my phone)

3) Is it working on this watch Sygic or another navigation app?

4) You say the strap is not changeable, but what happens, when I will try to change it for the metal one? Just no working wifi and GPS or it is realy not possilble?

and the last question - is there any differences between "K8 mini" and "D5" or this is same product?

Many thanks

While waiting for m No1 D5 to arrive I came across someone who had trouble with connecting to USB to PC.

Solution was to open the watch charging dock and resolder.

My watch has the same problem...... but now i cannot find the pictures / how to of this guy who re solderd it...

LOL nevermind

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65123139&postcount=240

Update:

Fixxed the problem.

Take off the rubber ring,

unscrew 4 screws and

take the back off

unscrew 1 screw in the middle and take out the PCB

Look at the 4 pins that should touch the PCB.

here one was lying a lot lower than the other 3.

took a small screwdriver and wiggled it a bit. then pushed it back and put the screwdriver in the hole just to make it a tiny bit wider.

now all is working fine!

It seems abnormal behaviour. I am using d5 watch despite the charging issue its good in wake up and whenever i raise my wrist it wakes up and i found it very smooth.
[Other SmartWatches] sagetan:
So it is likely my watch is defective? Cos when i raise up my wrist, it also did not wake up the watch. Do u need to do some additional setting to the watch?

Thanks.

I don't know why but my watch drains battery...

Just 2 hours of use and 50% ....

Using with SIM; Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS off....

Is that normal?

Could be the "OpenMic app"? I downloaded 2 days ago and I started to see the battery drains.... Let's see disable it....

Another question.... I just receive whatsapp if I open the app...

Who could solve this?

Thanks

[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Regarding the whatsapp "problem", I have just realized that data network stops working after a while... And also Wi-Fi stops working once my screen turns off...therefore, I start to receive notifications 1 minute (aprox.) after screen turns on again (that is, when I got Wi-Fi again)

Sooo... The problem is in data network...

Any solution? Thanks

Has anyone tried the d5 with an iPhone? What works and what doesn't?

Antennas are definitely embedded in the strap!

This past week I was unfortunately able to confirm that antenna wires are definitely embedded in the watch strap. This happened when my watch strap came loose from the watch and bent just enough to show me how close I was to losing either WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular or GPS. Fortunately a bit of super glue has everything in its proper place for now, but now I am starting to seriously question the durability of this watch. Not very promising having to perform repairs after less than a month of ownership! :(
[Other SmartWatches] sagetan:
Hi Fazal1,

Thanks for the advice. Finally my D5 is able to wake up when i raise up my wrist. [emoji1]

Also, is it normal that once the D5 wake up after i raise my wrist to see the time, it only on for maybe 3 second and it went to sleep mode again? Anyway to keep it awake for a longer time once i raise up my wrist to see the time or is default factory setting?

Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] Elroy_b:
Hi,

i'm using the D5 for about 3 days now, and i must say most of it works like a charm!

However i do have some problems which i would like to notice and ask if more people have same problems or solutions for it:

- GPS: This doesn;t work here. GPS fix say 16 sattelites but never been able to get a gps fix. Anyone did?

- Got a T mobile simcard installed. This does work, but not all the time. When i try to call trough D5 it says: "Simcard Roaming, continue?" The strange thing is that i'm in my own country.. Anyone got same problems?

- I did install Nova launcher which works pretty good!. Problem that i'm expieriencing is: Sometime the "downswipe" for back doesn't work anymore and i have to restart the watch. It does appear in Original launcher as well as the nova launcher.

- Battery time is quite good.. easy runs for 10 hours with about 30% remaining.. and thats with quite a lot of use (first 2 days i have the watch :) )

- Stunned about how it reacts to the keyboard. That small and almost all keystrokes are right in place which i would like them.

- Heartrate... well i does work.. and sometimes its accurate too.. Sometimes it just gives me 100++ rate when i'm not doing anything :D

So, hopefully some other guy;s here get me some ideas or fixxes???

oh almost forgot:

- Facebook Messenger and Facebook. Installed them but after login and opening it the app's cahce/date size increases very rapid to about 160 mb each which results in full memory of the watch... anyone has an idea how to fix that?
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
In my case, GPS stopped working too... I have just done a factory reset and now it is working again...

About Data roaming... In my case (Spain) I have a "Virtual" network company that needs "Data Roaming" for Internet ... BTW if you have this notification you probably have "Data Roaming" enable in Settings/Network
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Myself and other developers have seen FB use more resources than the entire Android OS on multiple devices. FB is in fact one of the biggest impacts on both performance and memory short of high end games. The options are wait til FB fixes their junk (been waiting years), or not use FB. This is especially relevant on a 512MB RAM device running 4.4 where even on a clean install, the OS eats more than half that.
[Other SmartWatches] guygenius:
I have bought this watch from Gearbest and waiting for it to be delivered. I do not intend to use this watch as a standalone watch but more as a BT tethered solution. After reading this thread, I have few questions:

1) Some folks have reported that one cannot accept or make calls in tethered mode. Is this still true? Seems like a SW limitation though that can be corrected through a FW update. Although I am not sure how good No. 1 is with SW updates.

2) How does Whatsapp notification occur? Is one able to read what has been sent or simply a notification that message has come. This is assuming that the app is not installed on the watch since it is being used in BT tethered mode.
[Other SmartWatches] homer4evr:
I just purchased a few days ago, still a while before it shows up. My question is has anyone seen the actual antenna in the strap? Is it just a wire or is there more, like a chip?

Is it a wire or a ribbon strip?

My plan is to remove the wire and replace the strap with a metal band and find a way to attach the wire to the back side of the band. ( glue or clear vinyl strip) Assuming that it is just a wire and not a chip as well. I have searched everywhere and went over every picture of this watch on Google, and nothing.

Has anyone broken one and willing to cut the antenna out of the strap for the greater good?

Thanks hoping for a solution to the ugly strap.

Before anyone says that a metal band would mess with the signal strength, I completely understand that, but to me the look of a metal band and still having some function is better then how it is now.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
When I break mine I will do something like that. I have a thick rubber band and I plan to make a gap and introduce antennas there...but I also have to ser how are the antennas...

Hi! Just ordered new No1 D5 black.

I am currently using a Suunto Core All Black and I hope it will be not bigger than that.

I have seen that the companion app for D5 on IOS is Mediatek Smartdevice.

Can someone explain differences when using D5 with internal SIM vs companion app and WiFi?

In previous messages I have read that you cannot use smartwatch for calling (speaker and mic) when using as companion.....is this the only difference?

I am planning to use most of time my office and home WIFI so 3G data is only used when outside (from companion app and phone)....will it work in this way?

Other little questions :) :

- have someone installed domotics apps like Netatmo or Philips Hue?

- does it supports notifications from companion app relating to exchange email accounts and whatsapp?

- does it marks messages on the iphone as read when notification is read and closed from smartwatch?

- does iphone companion app sync with Apple Health?

- HR monitor is only activated by hand or is it possible to have periodic auto measuration within the day?

Thank you

Chris

GPS is not the best with this watch, and for me only works reliably when I set to High Accuracy.

I have not tried any new launchers, as I am quite fond of the one preinstalled, but when I find it, I can share a video with tweaks for non rooted watch phones.

As far as GSM reception, does T-Mobile use GSM and/ or WCDMA 850 MHz frequency in your area. My wireless provider in Canada uses these frequencies everywhere, but I have heard T-Mobile's reception can vary by region.

Finally, forget about using FB or Messenger on your D5, even if they are the only apps you install. There are some decent FB wrapper apps that give you most of the functionality of the FB app, like Metal and FB Fast. I have long ago abandoned the FB app, even on my smartphone (Samsung Note 4), as it is such a resource hog.

Good luck and enjoy your D5!

Hi all!

I like this smartwatch but i have several questions:

Can I use this smartwatch WITHOUT sim card, and pair it with my phone through BT, and make & answer calls??? what APP can I use?

Can I use the Internet connection of my phone in the smartwatch through BT???

thanks to all!
[Other SmartWatches] Elroy_b:
- Gps does work and I installed sygic. This does work, but the GPS sensor isn't very good.. (takes long for a fix using GPS test/GPS test)

- Problem with sim card is still there, it asks for Roaming.. But it does work fine for calling etc.

- Do not install Facebook or Facebook messenger! (Thanks for all replies confirming)

What i have installed so far:

NOVA launcher (for me the really makes the watch much more useful, it's not made for round screen, but works perfectly!)

Do not set nova launcher to start all the time, just tick use once. You can easy switch between Nova and original launcher.

I installed Transparant weather widget for putting on my nova launcher home screen,

Further i have gmail widget, gmail calendar widget outlook widget (all on separate home screens)

- Whatsapp

- GPs status (for downloading xtra data)

- GPs fix

- Android wear store (lot of android wear apps seems to work, Like Google Fit for android wear)

- App 2 sd

- Cpuz

- Quicksupport for teamviewer (Realy must have for setting up your device quick trough pc!)

- Sygic

- Wifi Analyzer

I have not used the Bluetooth app for notifications from my phone.. Just using it as stand alone without phone.

So far, battery time is pretty awesome, have the display set to maximum (3) brightness

Today i used it like normal and it is running 8 hours with 48% battery left.

Charging it is also fast!
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
Bluetooth tethering works. I don't have an extra sim card for the watch but I can use the mobile data from my smartphone with my watch.

You can try swapplink app to make the watch work as a companion. It must be running on your smartphone and on your watch and it must be configured properly.

-You can receive notifications from all your selected apps and mostly read them (whatsapp), but you can not answer them.

-It is possible to send sms from your watch and start/receive/reject calls, but you can not use the watch for the call itself, meaning to listen and answer.

-You can remotely start apps on your phone, but you can not see them on your watch or control them.

You see it is not perfect but there are not many alternatives I'm afraid.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
I have to say that swappLink (At least in my watch) drains the battery ....I said some post above that battery life was useless .... in 2 hours just 50% drain... but was unistalled SWLink and battery started work as people say....

I also use Nova when I use the watch as a "smartphone" (There are some videos of my watch using Nova in a theatre call "best launchers for K8 mini", or something like that). If I use it just as a companion one, just use the stock launcher.

In my case, GPS only works with Data (I did a factory reset and seem to work properly but after I dont know when/what just work under data (and you have to wait a while to get GPSs))

Nevertheless.... I hae to say that for 100€ is pretty awesome!

[Other SmartWatches] probstc:
Personally I own a Samsung Note 4, but I have noticed that the D5 sends out two Bluetooth signals, one that identifies itself as the D5 and a bizarre one that identifies itself as X1-NC - Could this be the one to use to successfully pair to an iPhone?

As for apps, I have Google Maps, and email program called Cloud Magic, Google news, MX Pro video player, a sports score app, Google Keep and the Google Keyboard. Most work OK, but have limitations due to the round display.

I have been more or less satisfied with the D5 except the build quality as I have had to perform repairs to the watch strap. All the sensors work and battery life is considerably better than expected, lasting about 20 hours with normal use (USB connected, occasional WiFI and cellular).
[Other SmartWatches] chrispazz:
If you look and translate this review

http://www.s-tune.com/archives/673

It says that X1-NC is the real name of the watch.

Also it says that the HR monitor is not standard and is not compatible with external applications....

Hi,

I am using an iPhone 4s with iOS 8..... that maybe could be the problem. But for performance reasons I do not like to update to iOS 9. Yesterday I tried to test it on my iPad and at least there I could immediately connect to the watch. And one additional menu item in MediaTek Smart devices turned from greyblack ("Health data"). But there do data is available. That´s again a bit strange for me as of course I cannot expect phone functions on my Wifi only iPad but having no access to the data is quite strange...

I am very curious about your experiences with your iPhone 6 (I suppose iOS 9) and the D5 - hope to get a report ;)

[MENTION=273612]chrispazz[/MENTION]

Thanks a lot for this information. It´s a pity that means that the heart rate function will be useless :( I really hoped that I could use the watch as HR monitor when I am doing workout.....

[MENTION=1322304]Massu4[/MENTION]

Did you try resoldering the contacts in the docking station as proposed by others here? I also cannot connect the watch via USB yet, will try to re-solder the docking station after I received the replacement dock I ordered some days ago.

[MENTION=266966]elroy[/MENTION]

Hi Elroy, thanks a lot for these nice tips. Nova Launcher really seems to be very useful. Could you tell me how to install there new widgets?

Maybe you know how to sync the Google Calendar with the watch? Is your Gmail calendar widget showing your calendar entries?

Thanks, have a nice day!
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
Has anyone an idea if it is possible to resize the memory partitions? I can hardly install any apps on the watch because I always get the message that there is not enough memory free. I have not installed many apps so far, most system space is used by the google stuff and can't be moved to the other partition. On the other partition I have about 1,5GB free memory but I can't use it for install.
