stupid me:) i did'nt see the 5 day only looked at the hours:) that is amazing results. i think it can even last a week just as a watch without nothing turned on.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

true, i've rooted my watch the moment i could and installed WLD to see what is going on with the apps and usage so i do recommend that.

anyway, why do you charge the watch the whole night, i charge it before i go to sleep and turn off all connections and put it on low brightness and in the morning i've lost only 2%\3%, you should get a full 24hr usage if not more because you are not a heavy user. install settings search and from there see what is running throgh the day and disable the ones you do'nt want to run. for me it easier with WLD (Wakelock Detector app it need root)

sync your phone book from your phone to the watch.

The designed usage would be companion (No SIM) or standalone (with SIM) but not both. You are doing both at the same time so the battery life would be shorter. Based on a bunch of calculations on battery drain and logging of battery life, the max you should normally see is 3-4 days as companion and 1-2 days as a standalone. As a watch only almost week should be possible.

Personally, I use mine as a standalone with email, G+, calendar, weather syncs, "OK Google". The basic "smart" stuff really. With rotate to wake on in that configuration I get close to 2 days with light use, with about 20-30 notifications a day.

I can tell you this though, I'm trying out an Urbane LTE 2nd Edition (almost twice the cost) with a much larger battery (570mAh vs 430mAh) as a standalone with remote 3G sync to a phone. It's lucky to last half as long as the D5.

I agree with soniasophie9697, you should use a WLD to check to see what's eating the battery. I'd also suggest usign it as either a companion or standalone for a day and see what you get.

Features are:

- Always On heart rate monitoring

- defining intervals and duration of heart rate monitoring

- turn heart rate sensor on/off

- read the sensordata from your watchface

Knowing Bug:

I think the app should build the mean of the heartrate over time to improve the current value. Actually it's a little bit volatile.

More feature will come.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
thanks, downloaded and will report about it.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
this is my full usage with everything on gps, wifi (when at home), 3g (BT only when i workout for music and heartrate chest belt) icluding the step counter and notifications from the phone through M2D.

Thanks a lot for your advice.

I installed GSam Battery Monitor, as it doesn't require rooting. After 1 day the device eating the most was "Phone Radio" with almost 85%. So today I removed the SIM card and started again. I'll try it for 1 or 2 days more and let you know the result.

Is there any app for D5 to remote camera on smartphone?

Ok, answer - remote shot app (on D5 and smartphone) :)
[Other SmartWatches] mmm876:
remote shot
[Other SmartWatches] jiten.kanani:
Great app!! I tested the app and have couple of quick things to highlight:

1. Display remains continuously on even I have kept the interval to 3600 secs (as I understand it needs to be in secs). This is draining the battery. Though a good alternative feature for people who wanted 'Always on'.

2. It does not reflect in the HR history of the firmware HR app.

If these 2 points can be fixed then its an excellent app.

Found one more issue that Turn On/Off option is not working. I need to restart the watch. Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
hey, i downloaded it to my pc and then copy it to my watch but the watch can't open it.
[Other SmartWatches] fisch92:
Thank you! :)

1. I already fixed it. Next version will also track hr when the display is off.

2. Next Version will have his own history, with a nice chart. (I hope you find it nice too) :D

Oh äh thanks this also will work in next version :) I think I will upload it this week.

Can you descripe a little bit more?

Had your watch installed the app?

Have you any custom rom or an similar watch to the No. 1 D5?

How do you try to open it?

I have created a thread fro the app:

Did anyone get an gps fix at arm wrist?

When wearing at the wrist just 1 or 2 sattelites are found and they are shown grey in GPS test (so bad connection I think) After 1 1/2 hour the battery got empty but it never got a fix.

When I took it of the wrist and put the straps flat to the watch in oppsite directions (like it lays flat on the ground) I get a gps fix in under 5 seconds. But is it normal that it doenst work at arm wrist? So its useless for me.

People I have a problem. Before I wrote that d5 lasted me almost a week. Now I noticed that the battery disappears a little too fast. I checked WLD and ...

Within six hours Google Play 2648 times, alarms 186 times (I do not have any alarms set), the memory of the calendar 189 times. How to block it?

I can not remove, after all these applications because they are needed in the system.

Battery life

Well, tried a few days and it looks not too good.

With SIM and Companion, just about 8 hours. Without SIM, and in "Airplane mode" with Bluetooth switched on after going into Airplane mode, about 12 hours. From 6am to 6pm.

Lokifish, would your ROM make a difference? What are the main improvements on your ROM?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
If you are only getting 12hrs before it dies then you need to start looking for issues. Wake lock detector is going to be your best bet.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
just stop them do'nt disable them and see how your is battery life, if not reset the watch and check again before you install apps on it.
[Other SmartWatches] elephant_ml:
I stopped these 3 applications at once. Now, after another 3hours. I see that GooglePlay has 2649 times, alarms 287 times, 293 times the memory of the calendar.

System and so launched a closed applications.

[Other SmartWatches] gerd.nixdorf:
This was my way to get GPS working:

You need to root your watch. I made this with "kingo root" from the playstore. After that install "busybox" from playstore.

Then you have to install "MTK EPO GPS fixer" from playstore. By starting first time it will download and install the EPO files.

Now you have to activate the "location service" in "settings" on your watch, take the first option (highest precision or so).

By starting (and only by starting) of "MTK EPO GPS fixer" you'll see a menu. There is an entry "YGPS", it will show you the connection status. Forget "GPS Test".

The first time i've got the fix after 12 min, now it's between 1 and 5 minutes. Good luck!

[MENTION=7414402]Anthony_V[/MENTION] my friend, i have install the laster official firmware, and i have right now 68% and time is 21:30 ( i have unlpuged it 5:00 in the morning)

im using it with wifi on, and extra notification for facebook, twitter, watsapp, viber, paypal. Also sync my google callendars is on

im really sure that something going wrong with your settings, i think that you have to make an update.
[Other SmartWatches] Anthony_V:
I really wonder who this watch was made for...

IT experts that can root, trim, modify, flash and I don't know what??

Or ordinary people who just want to use it as a companion or standalone phone??

I belong to the last group. I just want this to work, at least a day long. If you need to root this thing to get GPS working, I think there is something fundamentally wrong. The same for getting it to work just 1 day. And if there is a setting that draining the battery, which one would that be? Out of the box, this watch doesn't do what it is supposed to do.

I'm getting a little frustrated. I came to this forum to get some answers to my questions. I must admit, people took the time to reply, but there hasn't been that answer like: OK, goto settings, choose this, do that, disable this, disable that and most likely you will get 1 day.

Isn't there anyone who has a checklist with this kind of suggestions? Something like a "Beginners guide to long battery life"...
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
You don't need to root it to get GPS to work, what you need is a working data connection and sometimes wifi turned on. But if you read the thread you would know that.

I already told you there is an issue and gave you a suggestion, not my problem if you don't like the answer or give any details

For most, the D5 does exactly what it's designed to do and gets good battery life

Again, you were given answers. It hasn't helped that your complaints have essentially been "it's broke, spoon feed me a super simple fix". It's pretty much a freaking Urbane LTE for $150, to not expect there to be issues from time to time is childish ignorance.

In closing, an entitled attitude will get you no where.
[Other SmartWatches] Anthony_V:
Wow, that was a very helpful suggestion. Please look at post 1378. Someone is suggesting to root, and do something to get GPS working. It wasn't me who was asking this, I just used it as an example what kind of skills you need to get something simple as GPS to work.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting frustrated with this forum, I'm getting frustrated with this watch. I followed your suggestions, even thanked you for it, but it didn't work. But I guess it's to much work and trouble for people "who know it all" to help nitwits like us with simple checklists and steps.

Talking about "entitled attitude"????

Sorry if I have offended you, seems being critical and trying to get information is considered to be "entitled attitude".... Really funny.

I probably came to the wrong forum, asking the wrong questions. This is XDA developers forum, I'm just a user, not a developer.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Here's what you are missing that's pretty important;

What firmware version

What apps have installed

What do you have syncing

How long do you have the display on

What is Wake Lock telling you? (which has been suggested to you with no response as to the results)

And even with all that, there's still not going to be a simple answer.

Most of the guides , info, and faqs for over 500 users are either written by me or maintained by me. So yeah, I don't do anything to help average users.

battery runs out very fast in every scenario. to use D5 as real smart watch is very questionable. not only because of battery but also the fact that the nice features does not function in every day use.

nevertheless I like D5 though :)

it has many features and some of those are working everytime.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I got one from Gearbest. You cannot normally purchase them anywhere else except the dealer where you bought the watch.

Best smartwatch I have ever owned (first impressions)

After waiting for what to me seemed an eternity, I finally received my No. 1 D5 smartwatch yesterday. My first impressions are that this is THE smartwatch I have been looking for a long time! Here are some initial pros and cons:

PROS:

-	Looks and build quality are excellent. Even the non-removable, leather watchband has started to grow on me and is not nearly as uncomfortable as I had feared.

-	Display is simply gorgeous!

-	Battery life is incredible. I have had the watch on for the past hour and while it is connected to Bluetooth (paired with my phone) and 3G, it remains at 100%.

-	Connectivity is fantastic. All the radios work perfectly, and even the 2G/ 3G cellular (which according to Geekbuying.com the watch does not have) has excellent reception.

-	Functionality, launcher and included software is very good. Very little “bloatware” and many useful apps come preinstalled. So far everything I installed from Google Play works, but I did run into memory issues when I got carried away with the installation of several apps – This is not a smartphone!

CONS:

-	When replacing the back cover after installing the nano-SIM card I had a difficult time, damaging two of the micro screws and the crappy screw driver included. Fortunately there are 4 extra screws and I has another screwdriver.

-	It was a bit of a challenge to connect the smartwatch to a computer via USB, but once connected it transferred files quickly.

-	Many apps are not made for a round screen, so information might be missing on the edges. This is an issue with all round smartwatches.

-	When swiping the screen to navigate you can get unexpected results, and I have yet to find a feature to calibrate the screen.

All in all this smartwatch has so much potential, and here are my initial grades:

-	Build, display and looks: 9/10 (only because of the non-removable watchband, otherwise a perfect 10)

-	Connectivity: 9.5/10 (it has everything one could ask of a smartwatch, unless NFC is a must for you)

-	Battery: 9.5/10 (only because the battery is not removable, and once it dies in a year or two, you will need to buy another smartwatch)

-	Functionality: 8/10 (due to the limits of the round screen to display apps properly and the memory constraints)

-	Waterproof: N/A (while I feel confident that this watch can live up to its IP65 rating, I will not tempt fate trying it out)

:victory:

I have added a picture of the back of the device at the request of another member of XDA.

i have windows 8.1 if this is important and ive tried it with 2 different laptops (both windows 8.1)
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
That's because the battery level is not calibrated. A properly calibrated battery level should immediately drop to 99% as soon as you remove it from the charger.
[Other SmartWatches] probstc:
Perhaps, but over the course of the six hours I had the watch on without charging it dropped 10% (always paired with Bluetooth and with cellular on), without any sudden drops you would expect with an improperly calibrated battery. Of course time will tell how good the battery is, but compared to other Chinese smartwatches I have had this one looks promising.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

I managed with a Windows 7 machine (work), but I will try again with my Windows 10 PC (home) and let you know how that goes.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
4.25v = 100%, as soon as you take it off the charger that drops to 4.24v. That's 99% on a properly calibrated device (which most aren't). Now if the uncalibrated/improperly calibrated device sees 4.0v as 100% you will get 100% til 3.99v, at which point it will read 99%. After that it will drop on a normal curve, albeit slightly faster. The sudden drops in a V reading is a bug where the device reads a certain V then doesn't update for a period of time. This is compounded by poor quality batteries that have rapid falloff after a certain V.

Now of the 12 smartwatches I still have in my collection, only the MTK based smartwatches have either a 100% forever issue, a sudden drop off issue, or both. I've also seen this exact same thing MTK based phones as well, but extremely rarely on any other SOC to the degree that is common on MTK.

In my watch Google fit recognize the steps.

Step counter shouldn't train the battery very much. It's a passive sensor , so it should only need a few micro Ampere. If you turn it off you will add maximal a few minutes to your battery life.

When you rooting the watch you can uninstall the system calendar app with an uninstaller app from the market.

HRM should be always off, if you don't turn it on or installed some strange apps from this forum :D
