The issue is not a data issue really. Rotate to wake acts more like glimpse, and without any physical interaction it puts the device back to sleep after about 2 seconds no matter what your display timeout is set to. As a result the firmware doesn't see that you (OpenMic) is doing something and puts the device back to sleep. The only "easy way" I've found is to have Open Mic listen all the time which I'm testing this now to get a baseline as to how negatively it affects battery life.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yep, if it were a data issue it would be easy to test. The K9 rom has the data fix and WiFi is on all the time. Just flash that and test - but sounds like [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] has found that the issue is elsewhere...
[Other SmartWatches] archat68:
Is there any way to customize Rotate to wake? In my K8 mini it also seems to be inconsistent. Sometimes it works fine but sometimes doesn't:confused:

[Other SmartWatches] chrispazz:
In Energy Saving menu, the last option is to set if the connection wifi should be remain active or not when the watch display go to stand by.

Setting it to remain connected will get all those connection problem away.....

Did you find it?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
It would require some deep level editing and that's only after you find where the parameters are located. Don't feel bad though, rotate to wake is inconsistent on every smartwatch I've ever owned/messed with including Wear based smartwatches. The one that has consistently performed well is the one that many folks bash, the original Galaxy Gear running Tizen.

Antenna / watch band question: Okay, so I'm sure the cellular, GPS, and Wifi antennas are in the watchband. Does anyone know if the Bluetooth antenna is in the band also? Would love to put another band on the watch. Not planning on using anything but Bluetooth to my phone and usb to computer for copying over files, etc. Any thoughts anyone?

Has anyone actually removed the band to see if installing another band is possible?

thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
I can't find it. On my D5 I have Power Saving, not Energy Saving, and there are only two options, Power Saving and Open Flip bright screen. Nothing about Energy Saving in the Developer Options either. Can you guide us to this menu? Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
This really is a nice little app. I'm having one problem though. Each time it launches it places the dot in the upper left corner of a rectangular screen making it unavailable on the round D5. If I open the watch with the Mobizen app I can drag the dot on the mirror of the watch screen to where it is visible on the actual watch screen, but each time I reboot the watch, the dot returns to the same position off the screen. Disabling and reenabling the app does't change things. It appears to automatically reenable itself after reboot, but, again, with the dot off the screen.

How are you able to keep the dot on the screen so you can launch into all these great features?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
If you want this option you have to flash (at the moment anyway) the K9 readback from the K9 thread. I have it installed and I highly recommend it. It is a more up to date firmware with the data fix included.

Only proceed after learning how to use SP Tools and making a full backup of your current set up.

As of this moment I don't think [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] has included it for his D5 rom yet.

pushing whatsApp notifications to the watch

Hi all,

I got my D5 watch 3 weeks ago so i already mange to get familiar with it and really live it.

But... my only big problem is the WhatsApp massages.

1. I got dual sim in it.

2. I changed to the new rom.

3. I'm using the "notiSync" with the "c notic" apps.

Now as some of you may know, the push notification of WhatsApp contain only the sender name and not the text of the massage. Because I'm a big user of WhatsApp this sucks!

So to solve this I did a little trick... but if you guys have suggestions to improve it, I will be more than glad to hear.

So what is my trick?

1. I installed tasker and autoNotification on my android phone (Samsung note 4)

2. I created a profile > event > UI > notification and chose the WhatsApp app.

3. I created a task > plugin > autoNotification > query > and the setting are:

notificationApp: WhatsApp

Has Replay Action: false

Get All Field: true

4. I created another task > alert > notify > in the title field I putted the %antext variable (autoNotification variable of the notification text)

5. In the notiSync app on my note4 I added costume profile for the tasker app.

6. In the c notice app on my phone I add the notiSync to the notification display list.

Now every WhatsApp massage sent to my phone automatic a 2nd notification is created by tasker (yes a little annoying)

And pushed to the watch and displayed by the c notice.

If this is 1 massage you can see it perfectly.

But when it's more than 1 massage is being sent the number of massages is presented, and the beginning of the 1th massage is shown, there isn't a way to expand it...

(Example: "3 massages. Hello I would like to...")

If you have a better way to push the full WhatsApp massages / improving my way I will be more than glad to hear about it.
[Other SmartWatches] chrispazz:
Sure, when I go home I will post some screenshots.

However I have stock firmware for my D5.

I configured my watch to operate with italian language and I see that third option.

Later I will give you more info....

Pablo, I have the stock D5 firmware.... I have that option but I don't have the MAC address fix.

I have been able to move it using Mobizen.

There is an option in Easy touch settings to let the button move freely everywhere in the screen. In my watch the button is always where I left it (exact center of the screen).
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
something is wrong with my watch...

I have been using it as a "phone" the whole weekend and I have been taken a powerbank with me because battery lasted just 5 or 6 hours...

Yesterday night, I froze Nova Launcher and some apps looking for the app which drains my bat. I also installed "smart touch" (very very usefull for this watch) and today I'm testing to use the watch just as a watch with everything off (BT,Wifi,GPS..), the stock rom and Smart Touch but still more or less the same.... I turned it on at 8:30am and now (15:30pm) just has 40% ( I remember one day that I used it as a "watch" with stock Rom and using the whole day I still had 70-60% )

Any idea witch app is drinking my bat?

To do a really clean restore ?? Cache, Cache Dalvik, data?? or Do I have to wipe anything else?

Thank you!
[Other SmartWatches] corvus:
sometimes it happens to me... I kill all apps or reboot my watch, this should fix the batt problem. Also check that GPS is not enabled (and all not needed features, BT, etc.)

Got my D5 today and I'm very impressed. Few issues stopping me getting the custom rom on though.

1. Where is the menu to turn on USB storage?

2. On my Dell I am getting a power surge at the USB. Is this a problem with older laptops or does anyone have the solution?

On another note, the stock calendar is good for a glance but not much information. What extra features does the new version on the custom rom have?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
I've been digging for over a week on this and there is no universal solution, all MAC solutions are per user fixes. So unless everybody wants to have the same MAC, I can't fix it.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Does the button hold that center position even after rebooting your watch? I sometimes turn mine off when I'm out swimming, for example, and don't want to resort to Mobizen to get access to the button when I restart the watch.

There's a similar app out there (actually both a square and a round version) called Assistive Touch which does basically the same thing, but always places the default dot at about the 3 o'clock position, even after reboot. I like that it has a back button on the Favorites page so I don't have to swipe to go back. The Assistive Touch 2 is a bit newer and cleaner and round for the watch environment.

UPDATE: WARNING! When I went to uninstall the Assistive Touch app, I couldn't. I had given it administrative privileges so it could turn the screen off for me, and in so doing, prevented the app from being uninstalled until I revoke the privileges. The app itself, unlike Easy Touch, does not have an integrated uninstall option built-in (which revokes and uninstalls), so I'm left with hunting down the admin privileges setting within the Security settings. Guess what? It's not accessible on the D5!

So for this app -- and any and all apps that require admin privileges to do certain things -- does anybody know how to get to the appropriate security settings screen to revoke those privileges so these kind of apps can be uninstalled? I'm kinda stuck. Thanks.

I tried the per user setting with mkt engineering but the problem is still there.

I can confirm that easy touch boot again in same position.

Here follows my advanced settings

Assistive touch 2 seems ok but I need a "one touch" button for enabling Bluetooth tethering with my iPhone.

I am always using wifi when at home or at office but if I am outside and want to use iPhone Bluetooth tethering I always have to stop wifi and enable Bluetooth tethering by hand by going in settings and Bluetooth menu.

Guys, I was thinking about creating a Web site (responsive: round-screen friendly) so that we could put all the work about round full android watches in one place and build up a community around this topic? That way we would get rid of question redundancy as we would clasify all knowledge on the topicand make it easily accessible and organised? somehow I think that if we bring our love towards these awesome gadgets together we might create more interest about the topic and trigger others to join us? All watch faces could be uploaded /linked, tutorials, custom roms and mods. All users would have to register and all work would be credited as here?

If everyone uses chamelemac from the play store there will be no more issue. Just need root to use it.

Use teamviewer plugin or mobizen to set it up on a screen big enough to see the menu buttons in chamelemac.

I use it on all my watches and it works perfectly. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelemac&hl=en

Great but I still don't know how to root stock firmware....
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I confirm that this is the menu setting to keep data on when the screen is off - if the button is not ticked.

But - when I was running the stock D5 firmware I noticed that my data was being switched off even with this setting.

Maybe it was just my bad luck but now I'm using the K9 firmware and it definitely does keep my data on all the time.

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

Search any of the K8, D5 or K8 mini watch threads about how to root or use SP Tools to flash the K9 firmware which [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] posted in the K9 thread. http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/k9-3g-da-house-t3313103/post65329346#post65329346

Another way to root is flash TWRP only using SP Tools then use ADB from your pc to reboot to recovery. Then flash Super SU (you need to copy the SU zip to the watch storage first).

Use SP Tools to make a full backup (read back) of your watch first.

THE FINAL WORD ABOUT THE BANDS

​

The antennas are in the band (WiFi, BT, GPS, cellular)

The antenna design is as follows; 1 cellular, 1 GPS, 1 Wifi/BT for a total of 3 antennas

*You CANNOT replace the bands with regular bands and retain radio functionality

Alternative bands are essentially nonexistent

*The only instances in which you can replace the bands is to replace the antennas completely and embed them inside the case, or manufacture a band made of leather or rubber (Natural Rubber, Silicone, Urethane, Polyurethane, etc). Metal bands are not an option.

Regarding embedding in the case, that requires you manufacture new antennas of a different design than what's in the bands. The case itself will however significantly affect signal reception.

Can we please put the bands thing to rest now seeing that most lack the skills or resources to even attempt it?
[Other SmartWatches] aero276:
So I was able to get a 3G connection today on my att prepaid Sim card, worked great for about a couple minutes till I left the area and then it was back to blackout.

Through engineering menu sound volume can be doubled. I yelled so that even the sound I had reduced settings.

Now put AutomateIt program (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=AutomateItPro.mainPackage -Buy paid, but there is also free). It has created two rules:

the first includes airplane mode, provided the screen is turned off and turned on airplane mode (usually more difficult, but the meaning is clear)

second every 10 minutes during the period from 7.00 to 23.00 off airplane mode, at the same time starts the switch on Airplane mode with a delay of 1 minute. For this moment there is getting all the updates via the Internet.

Also, the Flight mode is disabled when the screen is turned on hours.

Let's see how this affects the power consumption mode.

Continuing with my research.... I think I was wrong (or not, I dont know this makes me mad)... what drains my bat (I think now) is the Launcher (or system or whatever) because with everything off (BT,WIFI...) if I keep my screen ON seeing the bat I can see how it dreceases one point every 10-15% sec.

But if Screen is off it lasts long time...

Does it happen in yours?
[Other SmartWatches] CPGOD:
Yes - for me - screen on shows battery decreasing every 10 secs. I suppose it would be interesting to see what happens for 10*100=1000 secs, does the battery completely run out after 16 minutes?

I just activated Weather for the USA! But I need your help....

I'm not sure what happened, but I decided to disable system apps I don't plan on using and/or may be eating battery. Doing this somehow activated the weather app and bot it and the barometer are now working. I did these all at once so I don't know which one(s) are responsible. If you're not receiving weather on your watch and want to give this a try, please disable them one by one and let me know which one was blocking weather. Thanks.

I don't plan on using a SIM so I disabled *Dialer* and *Messages*

I don't plan on using the Chinese keyboard so I disabled *PinyinIME*

I'm not planning on using daydreams, so I disabled *Basic Daydreams*

I'm hoping to use the Google calendar so I disabled the installed *Calendar*

Even though pulse and step are fun, to minimize battery drain I disabled *Health*

After rebooting the weather info magically appeared.

Your help in understanding this would be appreciated. Thanks.

PS. If you're having difficulty getting to the Android App Manager to disable apps, try installing *Settings Search* from the Google Play Store.

Help!!! SIM/GSM Cellular

First off I absolutely love this watch, it is everything I expected and more. I have had it for 2 days now and cannot figure out which cell provider I need. I will get or purchase whatever I need to get this to work. So if anyone in the US has the cellular working on this, if you could provide, in detail, what you have and how you set it up I would appreciate it.

I have tried lycamobile (which is a tmobile mvno) and Project Fi Data only sim (just to see if it would work). But as I said, I don't care what carrier I need to use, the goal is to make phone calls and use my watch without having to take my phone with me.

I ran into the same problem, which is why I updated my post on this app with a warning. It's not just Assistive Touch either, it's any app that requests admin privileges of you, and there are a lot of them out there. Good ones have a built-in uninstaller which revokes permission for you they auto-uninstalls the app. Assistive Touch is not one of them.

I've been trying everything I know, including the app *Settings Search* which one of my SmartWatchTicks subscribers suggested. Although I can get into a lot more system stuff, the Security area remains locked, and that's where this Admin Privileges resides. That's two of us screaming for help now. It's only going to get louder as others slide into this quicksand. Appreciate anyone with ideas/knowledge on this helping us out! Thanks.
