You are so right on alibaba you can find it much less than what they want for it, but you need to contact the seller for price but the prices there are reasonable. it is called W10 just like the d5\x3\x1\k8 mini\.... i prefer the D5 because no.1 has good quality of watches. i did'nt like the W10 that much the speaker is in the band itself.

Oh well, it's hard to follow you guys without getting the watch... I am still waiting it to be shipped... So, for you what would be the best watch software for the watch itself and for the smartphone side ?

Backup?

Since I have some time this weekend, I'm going to flash twrp recovery and install supersu to get root access on my D5. For now I just want to keep the stock rom and gain root access.

My question is: Which backup method would be recommended for that before starting? Do I need a backup at all just for the old recovery? Later I can make backups of the rom with twrp...
[Other SmartWatches] Irongut36:
how do I just root the d5 and keep everything else stock?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
KingRoot (the desktop version). Not recommended as it tends to like to install a bunch of third party Chinese apps without permission and the app UI is not the easiest to deal with.

TWRP recovery and flashing SuperSU is a far better solution but breaks your "everything else stock" requirement.

I'd buy one on gearbest with -12% coupon ( 16WATCH12 ) and waiting now :D

Has anyone bought from dealsmachine?

I'm completely fed up with the customer service from Gearbest in relation to my faulty D5. They are now asking me to pay additional shipping costs which isn't going to happen.

Dealsmachine have the D5 (sorry K8 Mini) listed for £74.12 atm which is a decent price. I'm just unsure as I've never purchased anything from them before. Any feedback would be great!

I'm still working on the SMS companion app for the people that are interested, I just haven't had a lot of free time recently.

I have it all working in Tasker but the trouble I'm having at the moment is getting it working in a standalone app, this would obviously make it a lot simpler to set up. Should hopefully not be too much longer.
[Other SmartWatches] timbiker:
Thanks dc5daft !

Of course I'm interested in this app. That would be so a great function to answer sms writing on the watch !

For information, I ordered mine few weeks ago during the Gearbest flash sale for 106 USD which is such a good price. Now I am waiting them to ship it as my order is still pending for more than 10 days now...

What is sure is that when I will receive it, it will be perfectly settled and functionnal thanks to you and this thread !!!

Much like Gearbest, my purchase history has been nil with DealsMachine, as they would not accept my payment with PayPal. I purchase my "tech toys" from Geekbuying (who are glad to accept my money via PayPal) and I would say their service is decent. Their prices are a tad higher, but they do include shipping, so you might want to consider this - Here is the link to the Geekbuying ad for the D5: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/NO-1...eter-GPS-For-Android-iOS---Silver-361268.html

Also, be advised, when you buy from China, and everything works, you get a great deal, when there are problems with your device, you can consider it a loss - This is true for all vendors...

They are exactly the same. I think there has been a few differences in firmware and the NO.1 d5 has laser engraving on the base but other than that they are identical.

having a problem with my D5........echo!

Hello all,

very new to this in fact first time I've ever posted! hope I get this right.

Since I bought my D5 I have had a nagging problem...... an echo when I call someone or they call me,it doesn't matter, they hear there voice echoing, but I hear them perfectly through the watch speaker though. I've tried everything you could probably think of to correct this, including checking there phones voice properties to see if there is any adjustment, but it seems to be only when i use the watch with the sim card installed.

Any thoughts on what else I should check? did I miss something on the watch settings?

Thank you for your input,

John
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
I recently made some very positive experiences with the gearbest customer support. I bought my D5 there and now my charger is faulty. One of the golden pins does not come up again and can't contact to the watch. It feels loosely somehow, like a metal spring inside might be broken.

I contacted gearbest and they are going to send me a new charger for free, I don't even have to send the broken one back, so I will have a spare to take pins from if it happens again. Ok, it was a little annoying that I had to explain everything twice but anyway they were friendly and they are going to help me.
[Other SmartWatches] Elroy_b:
you can try to fix by opening up the watch dock/base and see if all pins inside are okay..
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
I already did that and the pin is broken. There must be some metal spring inside the pin that pushes both ends out of the pin's shell. But on the damaged one this doesn't happen.
[Other SmartWatches] alexD:
Have you guys ever bought from Aliexpress?

I've bought my D5 with them at the end of january. Still (eagerly) waiting for it =(

But fact is I have been buying stuff at this store for over 4 years, and I don't think on buying at other site, unless the difference in prices is too big.

Not sure if they accept Paypal, but I buy with confidence using my credit card. Aliexpress itself holds the money until the buyer confirms he received the items, they work properly and they match the seller's description.

Of course I have received faulty items, but in that case you only need to open a dispute. They do a full refund and usually you don't need to send the faulty item back.

Fortunately that never happened with more expensive products (like a $400 in dash car multimedia). Only for cheap ones (I'd say less than $15). So I am not sure, in the case you have to return it back, if the expenses would be on you or on the buyer.

But overall, I'm pretty satisfied with them.

Not receiving anything for advertising the site =D

Just thought it could be helpful for some of you guys that did not purchase your whatch yet.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Up until the D5 I have bought all my smartwatches and other electronic goodies through Aliexpress. They even cancelled a couple of my orders and gave me an immediate refund when they detected a vendor who wasn't up to their standards. I've done a few claims for small stuff and they were resolved for me. I got my D5 through a flash sale from GearBest and had no problems other than slow delivery. Aliexpress doesn't yet take PayPal, but I've had no problem with credit card, other than it takes a day or two for it to clear their system to be charged.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
Yeah I have bought quite a bit of stuff from Aliexpress. It's very good. Some good tech suppliers but they can be more expensive sometimes.

[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
Purchased from AliExpress a few times, never had a problem with delivery, in fact I received a delivery in 7 days from China to U.K for a previous order.

I have used Banggood before for a couple of orders, everything went well with them too. It is my first time ordering from Gearbest, still not received my D5 yet as they are 'waiting for stock', my order still in 'processing' since the 11th Feb.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
I just got my tracking number from geekbuying so DHL should be here in 3-5 days! I escalated my dispute with gearbest and am looking forward to a refund. I unfortunately haven't had a great experience but this isn't to say others will have the same. Gearbest are a safe bet to purchase from with paypal protection and I haven't had a issue with smaller orders.

Simply pairing the iPhone to X1-NC will send notifications to the watch. Granted it's limited as to what it will send to the watch (call, sms, etc) but it does work.

Strange that on your charger the same pin is damaged. I suspected how the pin would look from the inside but I was not able to open it, could you add some words to the pictures please?

Actually I can't even tell what this one pin does, because even without it I can charge my watch and connect to pc. Maybe it is for stabilisation or better alignment only...

[Other SmartWatches] chrispazz:
First consideration after some use (iphone 6)

- WIFI not working if not with SIM inside (mobile data connection disabled)

- MAC address problem (I have setup the watch to mantain connection also when display is off so it will not change IP so often when attached to DHCP servers)

- if you put "nothing" as ringtone for incoming calls, sometimes it loose setup and it put back some ringtone (so no full silenced vibration)

- no way to call from watch to iphone without using SIM connection

- Installed whatsapp (usign the internal SIM number) and calling to other whatsapp users is perfect

About sync with iphone

- some notification from phone does not arrive with text but ony with sender (whatsapp!!)

- sometimes if I do not cancel notifications from phone, the watch start to notifiy me all again (also the ones already notified)

- can't send sms using iphone connection

What I tried:

- Philips HUE (original one is not compatible so I used another free app that is working ok)

- Netatmo (thermostat is not all visible)

- Mobizen (Ok)

- Google Maps (Ok)

- Weather is working ok (Italy here)

What I need:

- Activating google voice without digging into menus.....
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
I didnt try it but this app seems to solve your notification "problem" in iphones (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tiki.droidsync.plugin)

regarding "only vibration Mode". I usually use Nova Launcher and on it I have a widget called "Toggle Widget". Then you can add a "volumen" bottom and putting "rigtone" volumen in "0" but without changing the mode you'r going to have only vibration... then you can back to the stock launcher. (I dont need volumen due to if it vibrates I'll feel the notification/call...)

I have also noticed that when you move your wrist, sometimes the watch lights up after a couple of seconds (best timing I achieved) but often it lights up after 3/4 seconds or not at all.....

Is it normal?
[Other SmartWatches] Massu4:
I don't know if it is normal, but also mine is a bit lazy to wake up...
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Got you covered on this one. Three apps:

Open Mic+ -- When working properly, it works like the standard "OK Google" even from your watch face screen. Pretty cool when it doesn't crash.

Floating Commander -- Puts a little dot on your watch which, when touched, activates google voice by default. You have lots of options to change settings as well.

Try saying "Open App Manager" with Floating Commander and watch what happens. Nice.

Speech to Clipboard -- An app you would have to hunt down to activate, but when you do, you have several options not found in the other two (like saying "PASTE get milk at the store today" and it will copy that to the clipboard and open a dialog to pick which app you want it pasted into. Very cool. The developer and I worked on that one over a year ago).

I have all three on my D5. They're small apps.

[Other SmartWatches] aero276:
Alright so I just got my watch yesterday but hAve played with it quiet a bit, here's a few key things I've discovered, might help others.

*the watch is awesome!

*If you're in the US, only ATT might work, I tried a att prepaid Sim and it hasn't worked yet, I'm thinking I'm just not currently in a coverage area. I'll keep trying.

*the best keyboards I've used so far are Fleksy, Google handwriting and the jbak2 keyboard with PaulBorts mod. Fleksy is my personal favorite, itso still cut off but it's the easiest to type on.

*using hangouts over WiFi with your Google voice number works great for calling and texting.

*Open mic + is a necessity to be able to voice command from any screen.

*chrome works but is very cut off.

So far so good, battery life is about a day. And Bluetooth works great, if anyone has any advice on the best browser to use I'd appreciate it!
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Part of the problem with Open Mic+ is the delay. A simple rotate wake without interacting with the screen doesn't give enough time for it to work properly. However, if you wake using the button it works fine.

I've tried to get "OK Google" everywhere to function but even after removing all the stock apks, libs and doing a proper gapps flash, the option is still not there. This is not watch specific either, as every other MTK6572 based smartwatch I own does the same thing. I also have some phones that are like this as well.

Figured I'd ask first. You fine if I include your layout in the next ROM release?
[Other SmartWatches] PaulBort:
I'm ok. But author new version jbak do new direction with settings - sdcard/jbak2Keyboard.

And if the user automatically updates the version of the program, it will create a new directory jbak2Keyboard and all new versions of the templates will be available.

If we put at once a new version, and I can change it to a zip file with the templates and settings for jbak2Keyboard.

For last version in PlayMarket: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jbak2.JbakKeyboard

Settins for jbak2Keyboard: https://yadi.sk/d/bBDI9fN6pdFfi

Unzip on sdcard/jbak2Keyboard with replase files.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
What I'm looking at doing is embedding at a system level (testing that right now) and if possible, having the round layouts be the defaults in the apk itself. Just need to decompile the apk and dig around.

If apk modification doesn't work, I can implement a "first boot" script that essentially restores the round layout settings with English as the default (I can post a guide on how to make other predefined configs). This way, even if you factory reset the device everything's ready to go. All you have to do is select the KB in Lang/Input settings
[Other SmartWatches] chrispazz:
Just installed Easy Touch from Play store.

It is amazing.

I now using this as launcher also for voice commands.....
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Awesome ideas. That would really make this keyboard an easy install for the non tech users. Looking forward to what you discover through this endeavor. There were a couple of other keyboards that hadn't been updated to round comparable last time I downloaded the package. Calculator was one of them I think. Don't remember the other. Have they all been reconfigured? Would be nice to have a complete set before you finalize what you are about to do.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

This seems to be another issue of the WiFi disconnecting and taking a few seconds to reconnect when the watch comes alive. Same thing happens with Floating Commander. You tap the button and the voice isn't ready. Only after waking the watch and waiting 10 sec or so can you use either of these. If the WiFi disconnect problem could be solves I think we will see these voice activating apps work as they should. Appreciate what you're doing to look into that Lokifish. Way over my head.
[Other SmartWatches] chrispazz:
You can change that setting in energy saving menu
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Yes, the watch is AWESOME!

USA uses 1900MHz most everywhere as 3G band, which this watch doesn't support. I think there's an effort on this Forum to unlock that band, but haven't heard if it has been successful yet. You may get some at&t connectivity at 850MHz (I think that's the second band), but that's area dependent. We really need 1900.

I'll look into Fleksy and TouchPal (another recommendation). I've done a keyboard video on some other ones that work over at https://www.youtube.com/smartwatchticks

Thanks for the tip on Hangouts. I've been using GrooveIP for free VOIP, but that's yet another phone number, so hangouts may be an option. Gotta compare overall installed file size of these options for our limited watch memory.

Open Mic+ is great, but as we are learning, we need to activate the watch and wait for WiFi to reconnect before using it. Not sure if this is an issue with 3G connectivity. Anyone using Open Mic+ on a data connection that can let us know if you can "OK Google" after flipping your wrist before the time display goes out? That would help in knowing if it will work if we can get WiFi to stay on in the background.

I recommend APUS browser. Not APUS Turbo (it does really weird things to expanding the keyboard -- any keyboard -- beyond the edges). APUS browser is tiny in size and supports ad blocking. You've got a home screen with installable favorite buttons. Nice for a watch.
[Other SmartWatches] aero276:
Thanks for the tips! Also great video ill have to try some of those keyboards. That apus browser is great, much much smaller than chrome! Still wish there was some kind of way to make Android wear apps work on this watch since most of them are made for round screens.
