Nova Launcher Problem

Hi Jason, as I know inside the strap there is antenna GPS and some other cables (in fact it is very strong touching it). You can't replace the strap. That's a pity also for me, I use it for running and the "leather" strap is not the very best.

Now let's run into my problem.. I installed Nova launcher and unfortunatly I blocked the desktop with its own option. I was searching for the best grid solutions and made a wrong setting, so now I cant't tap on Nova icon because fell off the display and I can't run into Android options because the display is blocked..

Is there any possibility to change launcher from folders by pc or any other solutions.. ?

Does anybody know how to boot in recovery mode, (a part from opening the watch and use the little buttons, I try, but to me they are not real mini buttons .. so I not pushed on..)

Thank you very much. Cheers!

After taking root will I continue to receive information about updates to the system?

Root had just done, but I wonder if also upload Imperium W812a ROM v1.2.0.

Does give much more functionality than the stock rom? There is no perhaps some presentation of this ROM? Film on Youtube or something else?

music remote

hey guys, how can ı remote the music player of phone from no 1 d5? i couldnt find out sory if i missed
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
use swapp link.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

do you use the notifications app that is on the watch? is it on your phone too? if so you can delete the Nova from there i think.

other option is to install mobizen mirroring on your watch and pc and then you can access everything on the watch by pc.
[Other SmartWatches] Shearlok:
Hi Dear Friend, unfortunatly it's not that point.. I try to explain better but first of all I must tell everybody "DO NOT TOUCH THE MINI BUTTONS (POST #1242 ) " . This morning I open the case and realize that are pins (not buttons) and they're very delicates, infact one fell off and I was also delicate!! I don't know if that little part is useful or not, but since I close and connect the watch the pc can't recognise the USB driver (before the SD worked well) ... GRRRRRRRR!!!!! I don't know if this is only a coincidence.. but now when I connect the watch to pc it shows "USB not recognised".. The watch seems to function but I only have the possibility to turn on and see the NOVA screen that shows me the phone and the contact, every other icon "disappears" due to display settings, I can't do anything. I was triyng to use Flash tools to reset but my Win 7 PC seems not accept the friendship of MTK drivers.. :crying:
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Two comments for you. The three little switches are not switches but contacts. You can enter recovery mode by shorting the center contact with one of the side contacts when the watch is off and holding it for a short while. That said, the recovery menu is in Chinese, so if you know what you're looking for, I guess you're OK. I got my D5 into that mode but didn't have a clue where to go next, so I bailed out.

Secondly, if you set up the triple tap zoom option in the Accessibility settings (reachable through the app Settings Search -- not the stock Settings), then you can triple tap near an edge of the watch and going up a little more off-screen space. If you're lucky, you may be able to touch something around the edge which could help you out of the Nova launcher. Not sure if it will help here, but a good trick to know.
[Other SmartWatches] Shearlok:
Hi smartwatchticks, thank for your reply. I'm glad to know I lost a contact :(:good: But it's only my fault! I hope that it is useful only to let the device in Recovery mode and obviously I dont' know chinese so if it is, it doesn't matter.. Thank you also for the info about the display, unfortunatly I cant' set Triple Tap I can't access to any settings.. (but it is a good think to know). I think the only way for me it's to use Flash tools and reset via Recovery. I'm going to keep you update to my result. Thank you very much.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Sorry to hear about the pins I said before... The only thing you had to do was touching as the other guy told you... Sorry about that. Regarding your current problem, as I told in that post I have the same problem with my D5 and I can not do anything because non pc or mac recognize the watch(i have tried in 5 different PCs with different windows, re-installing the drivers and so on and nothing...)

I have finish buying a new K9....

[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
have you check the four internal spring contacts and the contacts inside the charger dock ?
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Good point. I've noticed on one of my docks -- and others folks' docks according to a couple of posts here -- the 3rd contact is pushed down a little bit. Rather than rip into mine or try and place a dob of solder on the end of the contact, I simply turn my dock over and bang it on the table a few times. That seems to aid the spring in pushing the pin back up so when I make contact with the watch, everything works. Give it a try. Works for me.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
All docks have the third contact pushed down, it's made on porpuse I suppose... I could think is to first touch power and then data or viceversa (I dont really know the reason). But if you see into the dock you can see that is not the pin but the dock has this shape (I also have tried changing the pins and the result was the same..).

[Other SmartWatches] subhuman:
Greetings,

Can this watch display notifications (missed calls, sms, calendars, viber, skype...) from mobile phone via Wifi only (I want to turn off Bluetooth connection)?
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
yes, you can use M2D sender on the phone and M2D reciever no your watch and get all notifications and even some of them you can answer with the watch, it suppost also support recieving and answering and make calls but it is not working anymore and i've tried everything and the developer not even answering any messeges.
[Other SmartWatches] Shearlok:
Dear Negriton don't worry, as I said it's only my fault! I'm going to try on some different pcs to find out if the driver works.. Thank you very much anyway I'm going to let you know my progress.. Cheers!
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Hey Sonia, are you still able to receive all the different notifications on the watch, just not make or receive phone calls from the watch using M2D? How about SMS messages? Are you able to read the text of each one? Can you reply from the watch? Does it handle MMS and display images on the watch as well? I was thinking you weren't getting M2D to work at all.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
well, you can get notifications and part of them you can reply from the watch , no you can't see any videos or pictures that were sent via mms or whatsapp and phone calls still not working but everything else work but as i said not all of them you can reply from the watch. whatsapp, gmail, sms yes, but facebook, hangout no.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Its a pity that I dont use whatsapp "app" y use Disa App for whatsapp and fb messenger and is not supported.

BTW I only got to have Gmail notis... I tried SMS or facebook and nothing...

I was thinking on it and I think it would be normal that this way uses more battery than the native app... or I'm wrong?

Eduroam (EAP/TTLS+PAP) connection

Hi!

I'm trying to connect with my D5 to an eduroam hotspot.

It uses EAP with TTLS and PAP as phase-2-authentication.

But I can't connect. I cann't specify the TTLS and PAP method. Is any way to do this?

Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] subhuman:
Cool, sounds like it works (enough).

For me, the only important thing is that following things work ON WIFI (!):

- notification about new emails (reply is not important)

- notification about new sms (reply is not important)

- notification for calendar event, meeting (very very important)

- notification about incoming call or message on viber (reply is not important)

- notification about incoming call or message on skype (reply is not important)

- notification about incoming call or message on hangouts (reply is not important)

If all these things work - this watch is perfect for me.

Could you please confirm?
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
gmail (email), calendar, hangouts, skype,viber you can run them directly on the watch so you will get notifications there under wifi/bluetooth tethered....

and then, sms and phone calls it is supposed that you should get the notis using that app but does not work (for me).

Btw, You can always use the native bluetooth companion app that allows you to read all notifications... but only read them
[Other SmartWatches] subhuman:
sorry to hear that. :( without sms and call notifications by WIFI - it is not usable for me.

thank you for the answer.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Why by Wi-Fi? Why not under Bluetooth that is more battery-friendly?

[Other SmartWatches] subhuman:
I need a smartwatch that I can use at work - because with Wifi I can leave the phone at my desk and still receive notifications on another floor. I need the smartwatch only because I don't want to carry my phone around the office building and be able to see notifications.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
actually it does'nt drain the battery at all even if you have full usage of the app, i changed in the menu on the phone and it let me get notifications of sms and reply them but still can't with FB or phone calls. the battery life of this watch with many apps just great something that i did'nt have with the s8 or the s82.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

as negriton said most of what you mentined you can install on the watch but as i said i've done something in the app's menu on the phone which allowed me to get any notification on the watch i did it to see if i can answer calls from the watch and get sms and for sms it worked and all apps that on the phone for calls i get notifications and can call back from the watch but i get notification after the ring stops and i get notification on my watch.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Could you share your settings?

[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Have you tried Heads Up Notifications ? It works well enough for me.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
gladly:)

under your encryption key i've marked everything and when i get notification it shows on the phone if i want to get notification from this app and i say yes same for calls but the problem with calls that i get notification only when it stop ringing on the phone and i see a missed call on the watch and i can call back but no notification during the call.

the only thing that i do'nt understand is the line which says remove gmail notifications... i used to recieve calls and i've changed something and i'm sure that is why i've stopped recieving calls i just do'nt know what i did.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Oooookkkkkkk I have managed to make this app work.

As you said, you have to click the option that ask you if you want to add apps to notify you. Then, with the app opened, when you receive a notification, the app will ask you to add Notis of the other app... Then it will notify you... I don't know why developer didn't add the option to add apps yourself.... Much easier.

And I'm quite happy because DISA, the app that I use for whatsapp and fb messenger (as I told before) works well, actually you can chose whether answer from whatsapp or fb messenger.

I'm still testing but I think I have to have the phone unlocked to answer... I have to test it well

[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
are you sure about FB? i tried but there is no option to answer, not that it metter most FB messeges i only look at them at night when i have time. you're right i think the developer (which still no nothing from him:\) made an option to which app we want to be notified as in Watch Helper. i hope you'll secceed with calls i'm sure it can be done just need time to figure it out.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
As I said, I can answer both wahstapp and fb Messenger using DISA App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disa) from the watch....

The problem is that you need to have the screen ON to answer. Others like Gmail turn screen ON autamitacaly since I think this app is programmed to do it natively but DISA is not programmed ... I think you could solve this with Tasker but I don't know how to do it...

[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
i did'nt notice that you meant messenger and not FB itself:) i accually do'nt mind that the screen do'nt turn on and get just a sound it does'nt drain the battery that way. if you succeed with the calls notify us:)

Hi all.

Is there a way to increase gyro sensitivity and extend 'screen on' time on D5?. When I turn my hand to see the time I have to wait a while to get screen on. And it dim after about 3 seconds. On my previous C5 sport one reaction on hand rotating was very quick and screen was off after 10 seconds. Any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
If you install heads up notifications from the play store you will get a pop up message from any app you set it up for - sms, FB, messenger or what ever you choose.

I use it - works great and gives you the content of the message as well.
[Other SmartWatches] marcinsu:
Is any calculator for D5?
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
yes, i have it i love this app too but on the d5 strangly it does'nt work all the time.
[Other SmartWatches] TIRPIC:
Try Floating calc from Google Play. I use this app.
[Other SmartWatches] D5_user:
All,

i just received (2) No.1 D5 watches today, what a great gadget!

Tried several apps, watched the video's on smartwathticks channel and played around with it today.

I installed the "watch helper" APK from no.1 website and installed this on my mobile Phone, everyting works fine!

however......

i'd like to read full whatsapp mesages on the watch... the watch helper apps notices that there is a new message and displays this message perfectly, but only if there is just one new message.

If you get 2 or more new messages, the watch only says " .... new messages" without the actual messages.

Is there anyway to forward the whatsapp messages from the Phone completely? (ofcourse without installing a sim-card and download the full whatsapp aplication with a new number)

All answers are welcome!

regards
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
yes, you can use M2D sender and reciever on the watch and phone and you can even reply from the watch. on the phone make sure that in settings everything is marked and when you get notification on the phone choose "yes" that way you'll get all notifications on the watch.
[Other SmartWatches] mzaccaria:
Thanks Sonia for information but it's not so easy to setup M2D on the watch because the screen is too small and don't show all fields.

Could you help me with some tips?
[Other SmartWatches] mzaccaria:
I found the triple tap function that allow to view pixels near the round border and now I'm able to configure M2D.

Thanks anyway
[Other SmartWatches] piffs:
Sorry, where can i find the triple tap function?

thanks in advance for a kind answer:o
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
can you plz share with us does it work with the google apps store? i used mobizen to see the whole app but even on the watch i was able to enter settings just press the right corner of the app but not always works :\
[Other SmartWatches] mzaccaria:
I have installed the Settings Search app from Play Store and with this app is possible to access to not showed function.

In the Accessibility section of this app is possible to activate the Triple Tap that is a Magnification (zoom) function.

Now M2D works fine but only with WiFi and doesn't work with 3G, do you have the same problem?
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
only when signal is weak :\ one bar but higher i get notifications.
[Other SmartWatches] D5_user:
thanks for the information,

now i can see whatsapp messages by opening the m2d receiver on the watch, is it possible to get these notifications without opening the app?

For example when the watch is in "sleep" modus?
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
it works great in my case under wifi, 3g, etc... but I don't know why it duplicates or even triplicates the notis in my watch (if I receive a whastapp it notis me 2 or 3 times the same whatsapp...)
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Hey Sonia, did you ever get a reply from the M2D developer?
[Other SmartWatches] madtheo:
How did you turn on the function to get the watch on when you turn your hand? (Gyro?)

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
no :\ that is just rude, i mean one of the apps has ads on it and i put with it cos i like it but to get no respond from him.. the problem is as much as i searched i did'nt find something like this.
[Other SmartWatches] piffs:
i confirm that m2d receiver works well.

I can receive text messages and get a replay but can't download pictures...
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:

hold the power off button and when you get to the screen you'll there find the option to turn on the watch.

All,

can anyone tell me if there are apps that can make use of the heart-rate sensor?

For example any third-party application that can monitor the hearth rate during the day, night or during a sport session without having to tap the button all the time?

and has anyknow experience with a good fitness tracker?

hey guys, good news the developer of M2D responded to my messege on his thread so if you have any question about his apps plz go there and ask, i hope that he'll check out the problem with the calls, he wrote that calls can't be answered but from usage i know that they can be.

A little apples to apples perspective

If you thought the K8 Round, D5 and X5 was bad, take a look at THIS.

This is the battery life of it's closest brand name competitor while sleeping, and with almost no syncs active. It's lucky to make it a day as a paperweight.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
this is the first Comparison between the Wear and the full Android watches, thanks Loki:) now i can upload your link to www.iandorid.co.il site for ppl who look for somthing else than the Wear watches.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
What's funny is I'm getting multiple Wear users telling me that's considered very good battery life. Meanwhile, every Chinese standalone I have (TrueSmart, InWatch Z, K18 Round, D5) gets two days or more under the same "paperweight" conditions. And all of them have smaller batteries.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
true, if i do'nt use much the watch and turn off gps and use it when i need it i do get more days on the watch and if i leave it without any use it can last more then 72 hours, i always thought the Wear in terms of battery usage is better than the standalone , again thanks for your review:)
[Other SmartWatches] Gandalf67:
My D5 without Bluetooth, step counting and hearth rate lasts 4 days - just as a watch. Not bad,
[Other SmartWatches] icla:
After exploring the watch for 2 months I can say that unless their will be a new firmware & software, that can improve the watch connection with the smartphone , this watch is usless ! and believe me I tried everything with this watch . From now I will wait for a new firmware and hopefully a better smartwatch helper app .
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
have you used M2D or Swapp Link? did you unmark the option that make turn off everything when the screen is off?
[Other SmartWatches] icla:
The answer is yes. I tried everything. Those apps are not designed for smartwatches and especialy not for round ones. The connection is unstable. and there in no good solution for whatsapp.

Battery life

I'm using this watch as I think it is supposed to be used:

Bluetooth enabled, connected to my smartphone and a SIM inserted, just to receive calls. (Data not enabled)

I switched off GPS, no WiFi and get my notifications from my smartphone, about 20 a day or so.

I barely make it through the day. My watch is being charged until 6:30, that's the time I get up and start wearing it. If I'm lucky, it lasts until 7 or 8 in the evening, but sometimes it doesn't make it that long.

I'm reading this forum, and there are a lot of people claiming 24 or even 36 hours. What am I doing wrong??

And, without having to be a computer engineer, rooting, cracking or flashing this device, how can I make it last at least through the day???

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

I selected the No1 D5 because of the ability to change the watch face. In my opinion, a SmartWatch should be a watch in the first place. So I should be able to choose a watch face that I like. And that exactly what the D5 offers. I do love that. I already made my own watch face and I'm very happy with that. Previously I selected a "normal" watch only on how it looked and whether I thought the appearance fitted my style. A SmartWatch gives me the possibility to change the appearance based on a certain occasion. Great..

In the second place, it should give me information that a normal watch doesn't. So I guess that's why it called Smart. Connecting it to my phone, gives me the ability to see the messages and emails and decide whether I should take my phone from my pocket or not. I can instantly decide the message is important and need to be read or replied, or it can be dealt with later. Fantastic....

Now, it should just last a normal day, doing what it is supposed to do from lets say 7am until 10pm.
