Something else i noticed today:

Wifi is working fine without any problems.

When scanning in wifi analyzer app it always shows me NVRAM WARNING Err = 0x10.

In original wifi menu it only shows available wifi networks.

Should i just ignore this.

Do more uses see this in wifi analyzer app??
[Other SmartWatches] auchentoshan:
Same here... Think it can be ignored.

WLAN works perfect for me too both at home, in the office and in a restaurant I was yesterday evening....

best
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
even when screen is off? Mine (and I have been told that all) when screen turns off wifi turns off too..
[Other SmartWatches] auchentoshan:
Yes, sreen off, WLAN off! But as soon as it gets on again it reconnects automatically. I think this is part of the power saving strategy of the watch and it makes sense somehow
[Other SmartWatches] Elroy_b:
Need some help.

Indeed wifi turns off when screen goes off.

When it comes back on it enables wifi and reconnects.

Please check following:

When connected to wifi router; write down ip

Turn screen off, turn screen back on, wifi reconnects to same router, compare ip adress if it's the same or different.

Today i crashed my works wifi because of this:

Every time the watch goes to sleep and back on, the watch gets a new ip adress from ip lease pool.

Think it's changing the mac adress every time it comes back on...

can someone check if watch ip stays same or changes every standby off/on??

---- edit------

just checked using app: Wifi mac adress checker.

Indeed the mac changes after every standby

Anyone has a fix for this????

or root method?

[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
The MAC address changes every time the screen goes off and therefore the IP will change.

The solution requires root.

A fully rooted rom is on it's way but is taking a little time due to hardware failures on watches that are being used to develop this rom.

As soon as it's available it will be announced.

Cheers

This is twrp recovery 2.8.1.0 full work for D5, You should only set the theme to fit your resolution 360 x 360 ...

To extract it you have to use this tool.

Just received my watch yesterday. Extremely fast shipping on free shipping fron NLpost. less than 3 weeks. Only missing in package is the mini screw driver and extra screws. Won't have time to play with it yet. My goal is the swap out the leather band. I know antenna are there. It seems its in both side of the band, I'm suspecting 3 wires total. Have to find once open the watch.

The band are spring loaded on one side for sure as Im able to remove the metal pin partially. I popped it back again afterwards as I want to check the inside first.
[Other SmartWatches] homer4evr:
I plan on doing the same, the best info I could find to give an idea as to where and how big the antennas are was a pic on gear best of the k9 smart watch, it shows on the rubber strap a cut out of where they are located. Should be generally the same setup as the d5, I found a metal band with curved ends to match the housing and big links to hold the antenna flat as possible. I will jb weld the first link and curved filler link together and then jb weld the antenna smooth to that. I just ordered a few days ago so I have some time before it comes. If you get to cutting out the antenna please post up some pics.
[Other SmartWatches] Massu4:
Not yet because I didn't understand well where I have to respond. Everything looks OK into the chip of the dock.

Is there anyone that can show how to do the resold with pictures? Thank-you

Install NOVA launcher and long press home screen.

Select widget hold it and put it on home screen.

You can download widgets in the app store like Transparant weather widget.

Google calendar is also a widget. I installed Gmail App, and logged in. Then put the Google calendar widget, which you can select in nova, on one of the home screens.

Works perfect.

I'm still not seasoned enough here on xdadevelpers to be able to post links, but I would appreciate if you could post the link to my D5 Playlist on my Youtube channel if you feel it would be worthwhile. I've started a series of detailed reviews of this AMAZING watch. To have a look, just surf to Youtube, hunt down the channel SmartWatchTicks, and navigate to the playlists. When you're on the "No.1 D5 Smart Watch Phone" playlist, that should be the direct playlist link. There are two videos up and many more coming. Thanks for your help!

BTW, do you have any idea how to take a screenshot with this watch? There's no volume button to "press power+volumedown" at the same time as with standard Android phones for capturing screenshots. I'd love to have some screenshots for upcoming videos, but I can't seem to figure that one out. Again, thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
I contacted NO.1 about this because if you look at the D5 page on the No.1 site, they say to use X1. This may explain it. I haven't got my replacement D5 yet to test but will in the next few weeks hopefully.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
What I've done is use my phone as a WiFi hotspot and then installed and use Groove IP on the watch. It's a free VOIP, but, so far, it appears to be really free in that I can call out unlimited without having to earn credits or pay money. They claim to be moving from their carrier provider this month (February) so I don't know what that means. Hopefully, those with active accounts will be 'grandfathered' into whatever is next. Of course, the phone calling/receiving from the watch (without SIM) works from any WiFi connection, not just a phone's hotspot. What I have yet to try is a bluetooth headset connected to the watch for talking/listening. If I get that to work, I'll be making a video on it on my Youtube channel SmartWatchTicks.
[Other SmartWatches] chrispazz:
What about skype?
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
I highly suggest you install the app Mobizen from the Google Play Store once you are set up enough to start downloading apps. When you have it configured and running, you can completely control your watch from any browser on any platform, including phone and tablet, (within the same WiFi zone). This is especially useful for using a full keyboard rather than tapping things out on the watch.

I'm having this problem too. I've heard there's and app out there which will force square display info into a box WITHIN the circle, rather that the box expanding out as it presently does, loosing all four corners. I'm asking for help with locating this type of app. I've heard it may have something to do with "Xposed framework" but I'm not familiar with that.

On the good news side, I've downloaded Mobizen to the watch and use it to to basic configuration. On most apps, the display in the connected browser of the watch face will allow access to the corners letting you do things like open up the left menu in Google Play Store so you can update your installed apps, etc. (which you can't do on the watch). I've had to pass over many wonderful apps simply because the buttons are out of reach on a round screen. A square box in a round circle would be a blessing. Any help or ideas you folks have would be greatly appreciated!

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Did you go to "About" in settings on your watch, tap on the "Build Number" a slew of times, and turn on Developer Options? If not, do that. Then you can then go there and activate "USB debugging". That should stabilize your connection. Also, activate the "Stay awake" feature so you don't loose connection if your watch times out.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
I haven't tried Skype, or Messenger for that matter. I was looking for a substitute for the SIM card with a real phone number folks could use to call me from a phone, and a working phone number I could forward my cell calls to if I'm out without my phone but know I'll be in a WiFi zone with my watch. I also plan to set up Youmail as my at&t voicemail replacement for my cell phone number on my D5. I already have Youmail installed on my tablet, phone and backup phone, and when a call goes to voicemail they all ring letting me know I have a message. I should be able to listen to VM on my watch whenever I connect to WiFi, even if it came in when I was not connected. Then I can use Groove IP to return the call. It's still a work in progress as the D5 is new and I haven't shaken it out fully yet.

About navigation, do you have any idea why I can't get any gps fix (I'm in eastern europe)?

I tried to use GPS Toolbox, but it shows 0/0 satelites and without root I can't make many things. I suspect that it is because of the GPS server pool. But I can't tell exactly...

Google location services are set on high accuracy and I'm always connected to internet when trying to use GPS.

Did anyone have this problem and solved it? Thanks

Hi,

it surely is worthwhile to post your playlist, because your videos are great. I watched some a while back and really enjoy the way you review smart watches in a calm voice and being amuzing to spice things up. :laugh: Nice that you're doing D5, regrettably I still don't own one, so I can't give an answer regarding the screenshots.

SmartWatch Ticks No.1 D5 playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGZLicZ6A2vUzubykUreyUUD554vwajAl

Almost finished testing now.

I'll post results very soon :)

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

By the way - I find the teamviewer plugin works wonders for remote control of the watch.

Another important PS:

When recovery is released and you install busybox and SuperSu Root - make sure to disable Mount namespace separation in SuperSU.

If you forget this root will be relatively in-effective and you can fumble around for ages if you don't know about this little gottcha !!

It is the same on all these 4.4.2 KitKat watches - don't forget it :)

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------

There is a possibility that the antenna is not working correctly in the watch strap.

If you have messed around with the strap or just been unlucky......
[Other SmartWatches] Elroy_b:
Do you have a sim inserted in the watch?

Try to use GPS status app. This download the GPS xtra data.

mine had same problem, 0 satellites, after using GPS Status it downloaded the xtra data and searched 0/12 satellites... after a while i get fix ( like 1 or 2 minutes)

I managed to take internet from the bluetooth of my iPhone. I paired the phone to the X1-NC Connection (iPhone ---connnected to----> Watch).

Then I enabled tethering on phone and on the watch I searched for devices. I was able to see my phone in the list and pair with it (watch -----connected to------> iPhone). So basically I have 2 connections at the same time between the devices (it worked on 2nd or 3rd time). On the phone I am connected to both X1-NC and D5 "devices".

Next, I clicked on my paired connection on the watch and I was able to select the option to take internet from the bluetooth connection. You must have WiFi connection turned off while trying to take internet from phone.

I hope this will help.

Thanks for confirming the battery. I'm getting similar results. I expected to see a big battery when I took off the back, but it's nowhere to be seen! It must be under that metal plate somewhere. Anyway, I'm responding to ask how do you get Android wear apps to run on this watch? When I downloaded a timer, calculator, and tip calculator, they all gave swipeable screens of info with a wide notice at the bottom that the app would be installed on my wear device in a few minutes. Are the apps selective in which ones will run under standard Android (like the Google Fit)? Is there a way to tell which ones will run and which ones won't? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A. Wear apps can not work in this watch due to is a "phone"... All Android wear are installed in a phone and have a "part" that sincronizes with A. wear watch and give it functions.

Hello everybody,

I have a Zeblaze Crystal but I feel a little bit frustrated with it as it does not allowed many possibilities. I saw this thread and even if you guys did not convinced me 100%, I decided to order it because I saw motivated people here to add new features to this watch.

I read the 36 pages of this thread and there is a lot of good information but, is it possible to add a kind of summary at the beginning of this thread like :

- Watch functions : sens/read/reply sms YES/NO - Make/answer/reject call from the watch with/without SIM : YES/NO

- Changing watch face : go to tutorial here (link) and go to the watch face thread here : (link)

- To read and send SMS from the watch : please install this software and follow this tutorial (link)

- The following apps are known to be working with the watch : app / app / app (links)

- For GPS issue : download GPS fix (link) ...

- USB dock issue : (links)

- Alternative ROM : (tutorail / links...)

- Testing video : (links)

See what I mean ? I can help but it would be easier and faster to do for them who are familiar with the watch and it would be a good information source for everybody, and very useful for future owner. What do you thinks ?

TWRP Recovery for K8 Mini and D5

Now that [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] has published this http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/oth...d5-k8-mini-t3313788/post65293239#post65293239

for the D5, K8 Mini and X1 - here is the SP Tool flashable TWRP recovery image by [MENTION=3882281]cyrux75[/MENTION]

so all credit is to him for this

. :good:

An incredible amount of time and work went into this and I think you will agree that the resulting touch format is fantastic - he has made something special here !!

This recovery is suitable for D5, K8 Mini and X1 and possibly K9 - depending on screen resolution.

Attached a pic of new format

The install is the same procedure as described in the K8 Round custom rom thread so refer to it if in doubt.

Usual disclaimers apply - we are not responsible for anyone's issues here. Use this at your own risk !!

1) Install MTK drivers required - there are many tutorials available for this so please ask me how to do this.

2) Use the supplied scatter file and just select "download" and only tick the recovery image in the list within SP Tool.

3) Make sure watch is powered off and then connect your watch to your pc and it will flash in a couple of seconds. Job done :)

I have also included a copy of MobileUncle.apk - useful for rebooting to recovery amongst other things.

I strongly recommend that you use this in conjunction with the SP Tool flashable rom which Lokifish posted and I linked above - they were made for each other and would have been released together in an ideal world...[/QUOTE]
