Here's the thing, that "can I use the speaker and mic for calls" thing gets asked and answered every couple of pages. Sometimes, it's asked and answered multiple times on the same page. One has to almost ignore the entire thread to not see that it's been addressed.

Found a bug with SIM card. if I use the watch only at home and in the office no problem.

if use on the road, changing different radio cells, and sometime loosing signal, after a while, watch does not receive and send phone calls.

If I do a manual operator search does not find any operator.

The only way to make phone calls is reboot.

Tested with 2 different sim card.

if adb works for you, a simple solution is:

- Watch on

- launch sp tool on your PC , do settings and click download button

- with adb:

. adb shell

. reboot

normaly it is ok, the download start...[/QUOTE]

Hello again !:eek:

I do not understand what wrong I do. When I connect the clock to the USB, I get asked if I want to enable USB on the clock and then e: explorer.

but when I started sb flash tool and put in the right information in the scatter loading, choose download only. start download. and press the button on the clock so I can choose to turn off. so nothing happens ..

First: If you don't have adb on your PC , forget all

If you have adb on your PC:

1/ before to connect your Watch:

- go to setting's Watch

- go to about the device (last entry)

- go to dev option (second option)

- go to USB debug (7) and check it

=> now, you can connect your Watch without enable usb ......

2/ Connect your Watch on PC, use adb command from your PC as I told you.

I would personally prefer that your efforts are on ROM development.

is there anyway a simple website could be put together with the key areas as a go to page for new folks with queries?

Maybe this is something that could be taken on by us folk and checked off by yourself and the other experienced members?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Watch THIS VIDEO and pay close attention to the order in which I do things and device detection sounds. Win7 vs Win10 aside, you should see and hear the same thing as in the video.

So would I, but this repeated asking of the same questions is way out of hand. I mean I could always start the compendium thread as a WIP covering the basics and update it on a weekly basis. That way I could still allocate time to development.

Except for flashing, and clockskins, I have most of common Q's covered in the offline template I started working on today. If I don't sleep tonight, I might be able to get the core of it done.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Thanks Lokifish. I will sleep extra deep for you tonight knowing you are taking care of this. Much needed. Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] edmaronline:
Hi guys. I really liked this watch. But how far is this watch from LG Urbane Watch?

How long is the battery life? I saw that it's running Android 4.4 and no Android Wear. Is there many differences? What about the apps? They are different?

Thanks for all the help.

Best regards.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Many if not all of your basic questions are answered via YouTube videos on the SmartWatchTicks channel. Just look for the D5 videos (they all start with No.1 D5) and bring yourself completely up to speed. Here's the link:

http://YouTube.com/smartwatchticks

PS. If a video doesn't answer it for you, check the comments. Your questions are asked and answered many times over there.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
The compendium is live, and growing (like a scary monster of information). Most common questions are already answered (man, it's a long list and that's just what I remembered off the top of my head)

If it could be added to the OP that would be great.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Trouble is we will need a mod to add you as an editor to post no 1. The guy who opened this thread looks like a vendor. Similar to the K8 thread.

They throw in thread opener about how fantastic the product looks and then you never hear from them again.

I am absolutely mortified at the thought of a dev having to step up and "soft mod" a thread. I know it's insane in here lately but your skills are much better focused in the right areas. I guess you got to the point where you just can't stand it anymore.

We did the same thing in the K8 thread and I'm not sure if it made a difference or not.
[Other SmartWatches] edmaronline:
Understood. But my big question is if this watch is so much different from LG urbane. But thanks for your help.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Are you serious? After all this you ask a question like that?

That's what google is for mate.
[Other SmartWatches] edmaronline:
Is this for me? If it is, calm down man!

I saw a lot of videos from this watch in youtube and I can see a big difference between this watch and an watch with android wear. If you can not answer my question, ignore it. There is no need to be stupid!

Most of the people are new with this smartwatch's stuff. I KNOW HOW TO USE GOOGLE. I DID MY RESEARCH BEFORE ASKING HERE. If I asked a question is because I would like to see the answer from the xda comunity. Again, if you wrote for me, calm down. And if are not able to aswer the question be quiet!
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I'm actually quite calm thanks :)

Just that this question has already been asked and that's exactly what the last few posts have been all about lol.

Here's just one example where it was discussed http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/oth...-look-1-d5-t3270656/post65282599#post65282599

Don't take it so personally - it's just been a little frustrating around here lately and your question just popped up.

It's not about you in particular .. So apologies if I offended you.
[Other SmartWatches] edmaronline:
Understood. But before ask here I went to THREAD SEARCH and I typed Urbane Watch and I received no match. But it's ok.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Even if I got mod rights, I might be able to fit a quarter of what the compendium will have into one post. I think I'm already over the 10k character limit on a post now and I'm just getting started. About the only thing I would be able to reasonably do to the OP is post the index from the compendium.

Your question is very vague. Can you narrow it down AFTER you read the Compendium. And here's a hint, If you have seen one Android Wear device, you have pretty much seen them all. So looking for a specific Wear device comparison is inefficient.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Fair enough :good:
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Yes, it is totally different. The urbane, the moto 360, all of them are Android Wear. This D5 and it's derivatives, the K8 mini, the K18, and similar watches like the K8 (round, not the Apple clone), and sometimes called K9, K10, etc., are all straight Android. They don't do Wear. So the watch faces, for example, won't have touch areas to bring up apps. The loadable apps are any of the thousands of Android phone and tablet apps (some work on the tiny screen, some don't), and none of the Wear apps that work on the LG will load into these watches. So other than being round, don't know how much similar they can be.
[Other SmartWatches] archat68:
What about starting a Wiki page?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Tried that with the Omate Truesmart. Either folks would forget it existed, couldn't find it in an xda search, or I have to edit the thing once a week because somebody keep putting in marketing specs vs the actual specs.

Dear smartwatchticks!

Does your vibrate work when you turn on the "vibrate when message arrived" ?

[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yep - this is the way I control my watch. I've been recommending it since I got the first K8 round watch.

It's the easiest, free way to get great results for those outside the round screen buttons.

Need help!

I've been waiting for the Bluboo xwatch to be released for a long time but now I've been looking for some other options. I like the D5 because it has a lot of features, but I need your help. I want an independant watch but also need to receive notifications from my phone and being able to answer them from the watch. Also I have a MI band, but really looking forward to install some specific health apps on the D5, like endomondo, runtastic (for biking and running) and sleep as android. Do these apps work on the D5? Also does the GPS need WiFi to work? Do you think this is the purchase for me or should I wait for the Xwatch or other android wear compatible watch? Thank you very much!
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
[MENTION=7356024]diegotorrestaylor[/MENTION] Consider this to be the same as using another mobile phone. That's exactly what it is.

Except the battery does not last as long and running these apps you mention would kill it fairly quickly

[Other SmartWatches] PaulBort:
I put the latest firmware on March 10, and noticed that vibration has become much weaker.

And notice that the function switch the screen when turning the hand works only when the clock is at rest, ie when walking not be able to see the clock by simply turning the hand - it is necessary to press the button. The same is true for the firmware 1.2.0. At the initial firmware for the K8 mini screen lights up when you turn the hands while driving. Do not know if so specifically made to the screen does not light when playing sports. But it is not very convenient.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
I haven't updated yet so I can't look for this, but did No.1 put in a sensitivity adjustment for the flip sensor in the settings?
[Other SmartWatches] PaulBort:
Yes

I said - if the clock is at rest, the screen lights up when turning. And if you move, then when you turn the screen does not light up, it is necessary to press the button.

Thanks to trying to help me :good::good:

but i found this

TO DISABLE WINDOWS 10 64 BIT DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT:

On your 64 bit Windows 10 desktop click on Start then on Settings

Click on Update & security then in the left pane click on Recovery

Under Advanced startup click on Restart now button

Click on Troubleshoot then on Advanced options

Click on Startup Settings then on Restart button

The computer will restart with the Startup Settings screen

To disable the driver signature enforcement until next restart press on number key 7 or F7 on your keyboard.

After restart you can proceed with the unsigned MTK drivers installation for your 64 bit Windows

After you install the unsigned drivers, to use them again in the future, you have to repeat this procedure

TO INSTALL THE MTK VCOM USB DRIVERS ON 32 & 64 BIT WINDOWS 10:

Download the drivers *.zip archive and extract the folder from inside on to the desktop:

Download Windows 10 MTK VCOM USB Preloader Drivers - laurentiumihet.ro.zip

Hi!

My phone's gsm radio randomly freezing (every 1 or 2 days).

I can't make or receive phone call.

I see the signal bars like normaly, but don't change if I move the watch.

I if try to scan for an available network, it show a white screen with round waiting icon, but can't find anytingh. The only solution is reboot.

I have changed the simcard to a new one, but issue is still there.

I select only ITA frequencies, using mtk tool, but issue is still there.

I lock the radio on 2g gsm only but issue is still there.

Anybody have this problem too or known any solution ?

I noticed thats happpen when the watch try to reconect to the operator, after signal lost on uncovered area.

My network operator: ITA wind and ITA tim

It does not see the watch on the remote control. > Remote Control Declined

When you try to connect from your pc you have look at the watch screen and grant permission from the watch.

Vibrálás

Szia Ugyi007 !

Neked működik SIM kártya nélkül a vibráció? Az aplikációban ki van pipálva, hogy "vibrate - vibrate when message arrived" de sose moccan meg az óra vibrációja. Legújabb firmware van rajta, és android telefonhoz csatlakozik. Az üzenetek megjönnek az órára de a fránya vibrárlás sehol sincs, pedig e célból vettem főleg. Te tudnál ebben segíteni, mert a többieknak hiába írtam ez ügyben.

That "modem_1_wg_n.img" is the baseband. It could be there is an issue with that file. If the older firmware worked, you can swap out the file. If the issue still continues after that, then there's something else going on.

K8 died

My K8 died last night :crying:

It had N01 D5 firmware 2016 Mar 10

I wanted to charge it at night as it was at 30% battery left,

but I didn't see the charging icon.

Then I put it off and connected it USB and saw the charging (red line) icon and didn't notice any further.

When a few hours later I want to put it on, it didn't respond at all.

I put it on USB again, nothing happened.

I connected it to pc, it bleeped, it shows device Mediatek Preloader USB, bleeped disconnect device, windows error USB-deviceproblem , bleep, connect, bleep disconnect and so on. nothing to see on de watchscreen.

I disconnected and connected battery no change.

I checked charging device, 5V on the 2 right pins looking from the middle, right is +.

When charging I meassured 5.1 V but Amp keeps floating 0 A, 0.45A, 0A, 0.45A, after a minute Amps show most of the time 0A and sometimes 0.45A.

I think I'm going to RMA it.

[Other SmartWatches] forforum:
I had a similar scare with my D5. It wouldn't turn on, the same symptoms when connected to a PC. However, disconnect and reconnect the battery bought the watch back to life for me. May be you can try again and leave it off for a bit longer, just in case some charges left.
[Other SmartWatches] HansMulder:
I can try that, but the battery has only 3V left, That wouldn't be ebough to start the watch. I think in you case there was enough power left?
[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
I involuntarily denied root permissions to mobileuncle.

I would like to restore them but the window is too big and I do not see the OK button

How can I fix it ?
[Other SmartWatches] SPACSYSTEM:
Or, after disconnect the battery and wait (2 or 3) minutes, reconnect the battery but don't turn on the watch.

Prepare the system for flashing, and try flash the watch.

I hope you have success with this method.

List of Apps that work and don't drain battery?

Hi everyone,

Can anyone provide a list of various apps (email, productivity, improved functionality of the D5) that work really well and don't drain battery. Even if someone could reply and say what they have on their D5 and if it is good. I am looking at apps that really improve how the D5 functions as a standalone google device - but would love ability to reply to sms as well.

I have watched all of Mr Ticks YouTube videos (that took a long time!) and although it does provide good information on what installs and how they work it doesn't let us know how the apps are at draining battery and how useful they are after a period of time or if a better app is available etc.

I installed the assistive touch app to get google search it completely drained the battery (1% per minute - giving the watch a very short life) - this wasn't good so I uninstalled.

Currently I have gmail, google fit, strava (running gps app) all running well.

Any help would be appreciated, sharing is caring an all that!

Keep up the good work (particularly all the developers who are doing amazing work with the D5!)
[Other SmartWatches] :
So today I attempted to flash my NO.1 D5 smart watch following all of the tutorials. Flash process was working well, though part way I hit the USB cable with my leg at 66% and now of course the device fails to power on. I've attempted to re-flash as Windows does still detect the MTK device when plugged in. However the SP Flash Tools does not do anything once the Download button has been pressed. I fully appreciate that this is my fault, but complete accident. Is there anything I can do? Help is greatly appreciated right now. Thank you.

I had a similar accident, i opened the watch, disconnect and reconnect the battery plug, try flash process again and works perfect.

OK, this is really handy to know. Did try to remove the battery cable, but it was in there pretty tight. Maybe I'll just wait for the battery to drain. :)
[Other SmartWatches] SPACSYSTEM:
The battery cable has a small plug that you have to pull up and then waits a litle bit and turns connecting the plug again and flash.

In NO.1 D5 has plug.
[Other SmartWatches] HansMulder:
Ik K8 mini you have to lift the plug, do not pull it sideways. When connecting again press it vertically, do not slide it in.

Didn't help me so far, internal battery is empy now (0 V) yesterday it had still 3V, and it does not load (0 A).

The pins on de charger work well when connected with the magnet to the watchcover it shows 5V on the inside of the cover

I think the battery is broken, any ideas before I RMA it?

Best running app

For running track app, I use Runkeeper with 3G data, and it work fine (it costs some minuts of running to get the GPS signal). But looklike it drains quite alot of battery. 20-30% for one hour with screen turn off, just bluetooth headset connect for time and distance notice (without music playing; with music playing it around 40% per hour).
