That is the iOS bluetooth push service and it's for connecting to iPhone devices.

Unfortunatelly it can be disabled by the settings on the watch, you have to root and manually disable that service.
[Other SmartWatches] anhlamrdj22:
oh thank god. can i use kingroot to root finow smartwatch (any version like x3 x5 (plus)). and how to manually disable that service ? please help me. sorry for my bad emglish
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
I released a TWRP for the X5, it is available in this thread, just search it. Rooting will be as easy as installing SuperSU zip via TWRP recovery.

About the service to disable, the master [MENTION=517216]pablo11[/MENTION] could help you.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I don't think the TWRP you made for the older X5 will work on the plus version.. For example, the plus version has the 180° software rotation hard coded in the kernel. I have not tried it but I have my doubts ?
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
That guy is talking abot the X5, about the X5 plus you already know that I'm aware of the rotated issue ;)
[Other SmartWatches] anhlamrdj22:
so do you think kingroot is possible to root x5/x3 plus ?:p
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Ahh, ok. Sorry mate. It sounded like he was asking about the plus series. [emoji33] :)
[Other SmartWatches] anhlamrdj22:
yes. i have an x3 plus and i saw that x3 and x5 plus has the same hardware. and finow x3/x5(plus) has a problem that a kind of bluetooth sevices that always on although i dont turn on the bluetooth. i think that will make battery weak. i dont know how to disable that. sorry for my bad english
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
It's possible to make a recovery which will work but the UI will be upside down. However, even though it is inverted it can still be used to access the adb sideload function and install SuperSu.

I have done this myself and it's not too difficult.

Bear in mind that I have been doing this for years though. That's why I don't share these things because too many bricked watches will turn up.

I STRONGLY urge you not to use King root or similar because of all the silent feedback agents it brings with it. Sending information out to who knows where....
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
X5 or X5 plus? Please be clear, unfortunatelly I don't have much time to waste
[Other SmartWatches] anhlamrdj22:
thank you. i have a k8 smartwatch and used kingroot to root it. i thing all these are from china so that we can use kingroot to root the device. and can we make a backup rom with mtk android tools prevent kingroot fail ?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
What? You were asking about X5....?
[Other SmartWatches] anhlamrdj22:
sorry.i have a x3 plus. and x3 plus is the same hardware with x5plus

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

i mean that can we make a backup rom for finow x3/x5 (plus) prevent kingroot fail ?
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
Congratulations, in 6 post you were able to don't be clear on what is your watch (X3 plus is completely different from X5 plus - PCB, display, firmware), don't reply to the answer for you and ultimately don't even follow the suggestion we give you.

Very bad job :(
[Other SmartWatches] anhlamrdj22:
sorry. i used to have a k8. and now i have a finow x3 plus:(

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

can you tell me how to disable the bluetooth problem that we talked about and i will try to root my watch by myself
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Right, so there is a working TWRP for the X3+ which [MENTION=3882281]cyrux75[/MENTION] posted. You should be fine
[Other SmartWatches] anhlamrdj22:
i will try to root my watch. but i found that finow x3/x5 (plus) has a problem that a kind of bluetooth sevice that always on although i dont turn on the bluetooth. i think that will make battery weak. i dont know how to disable that. do you know how to disable that service. this is the problem that i talked in # 674. can you help me please. i will try to root my watch
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Flash TWRP on your X3 + and then flash latest SuperSu.

Then you need to disable the ios notification service.

I did this by simply searching the root filesystem for it and then re-naming it using root explorer to xx .old

X3 plus is very easy to root using TWRP and SuperSu
[Other SmartWatches] anhlamrdj22:
thank you verymuch:)

Finow X5 Plus - battery

hello,

I bought a Finow X5 Plus few days ago.

But I have a problem with the battery life : only 16 hours with :

- Energy saver mode : ON

- WIFI : OFF

- Bluetooth : OFF

- GPS : OFF

- last firmware updated

do you think it's normal ?

thanks for your answer.

[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
I have compiled a working TWRP recovery for X5 plus but it suffers of the flipped screen issue, so I won't share it.
[Other SmartWatches] ciko84xp:
Flipped screen is not a problem... i ported TWRP from x5+ on LEM5, with same issue, but recovery is full working. Only the screen is upside down (but not touch.. x/y is correct).

I've found a probable solution.. but compile a new BoardConfig.mk from nothing is very hard for me.

In case you want to help me, I'd be really happy! ;)
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
I'm missing the point. You are looking for TWRP for X5 plus, but you already ported a TWRP from X5 plus to Lem5 (leaving apart the fact that they are the same watch and no port is required)?

So what do you exactly need?

[Other SmartWatches] ciko84xp:
Sorry.. i ported TWRP from blitz.... not x5+... sorry for confusion.

But what i really need now is too difficult for me...
[Other SmartWatches] ImacwearM7:
I don't think its normal...

My x5+ lasts 3 days with everything turned off. I use it as a watch with wrist wake up and medium brightness. I check it all the time and change the watch face several times a day. Best watch I've ever had.

Sometimes I use it as a standalone phone with Sim card and WiFi turned on and the battery lasts about 12hrs.
[Other SmartWatches] foxtroll:
Thanks for your answer.

I put airplane mode ON and the battery life is about 3 days.

And maybe the first cycle of charges are not efficient...

Nice smartwatch.

Hello [MENTION=3882281]cyrux75[/MENTION],

Great thanks for your work on these watches, got the watch couple of days ago and I see your name everywhere with contributions

I need to root and install xposed to edit buttons, but have 0 experience for compiling and anything more advanced.. please reconsider or share it. Being flipped is better than not having root&xposed.

Thanks a million

Edit: searched the problem some people say editing .twrps file (change tw_rotation to 0) helps, sorry if you already tried it, I am complete noob and you are the expert here, I am just trying to help anyway possible.. Thanks again
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
X5 or X5 + will be important for Cyrux75 to know
[Other SmartWatches] that_same_guy:
Thank you pablo11

it for the the X5+, Cyrux75 has already released a twrp for x5, he even gave you cridets for it :D
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yes, well we have worked together for a long time. We have both made recovery for the X5 plus but it is not going to be released. If you read up a bit about the X5 + you will see why. Same as the LEM5.

However, I guess Cyrux75 will answer you in a while.

[Other SmartWatches] ygecesefa:
yes it is not imposible to answer your phone call from x5+. Only calling notification and sms etc. Also a god damn connection lost notification. But awkvardly when it connected to an iphone it can do it!!! Guys I m very disapointed. Watch is cool but there isnt a proper connection and sync app between your phone. My cheap android car rear mirror can do this you can answer your call access every thing your phone. But this watch!
[Other SmartWatches] farid65:
I am so upset with my smart watch.(finow x5+)

The biggest problem of this smart watch is that it doesn’t have any app or even support system to sync the watch and the phone (ios an android) so the calls and sms cannot be synced. And it is a big problem I think. While the lemfo 5 smart watch which looks just the same as this watch has the app and the support.

I emailed the finow watch company more than ten times and I also called them many times but no one answered... and that’s so ridiculous. There should be a support system at least for the customers to guide them.. This is when the other company I mean lemfo 5 watch, answered my email as soon as I sent them the email.

Buying a watch with no support is just wasting money. I’m so disappointed with finow Watch Company. I wish I could buy lemfo smart watch.. I hope the finow company see this message and solve the syncying problem..

Any news about the new firmware? I checked and system is pointing to the latest version from 2016-09 but due to the fact that i'm using the custom one (Firmware 160524-034208 2016-05-24 ) it is stopping me with the update.

Someone tried the latest firmware? It is stable and worth to update?:)

Tethering or bluetooth problem on X5+

Hi folks,

Watch Helper (tethering app) woks well on my X5+ since I decided to stop the two applications "IOS Notification Push" (running respectively "smartcardService" and "IosMsgService") thinking that was only for iPhone. When I realized that was required for Android too, I restarted the watch and the two apps appear again in running apps but "Watch Helper" on my smartphone is unable to make the connection with the watch when I select it in the divices list, even if the Bluetooth is paired correctly.

Even after a RESET, Watch Helper can't connect with the watch!!!

I tried M2D and the bluetooth manager can't connect the watch too!!!

Are someone facing a similar problem?

X5 Plus firmware

Hi

Are the firmware listed at on the post at the begining of the thread for the X5 Plus as well as the X5? If not where do i find the latest firmware for the X5 Plus? Is there a page for the downloads on the finow website cos I cant find it?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] chinny reckon:
Microphone and speaker

From reading this thread it seems the X5 plus does not connect to your smartphone as a microphone and speaker to use as a companion (for example controlling Google Now on your phone). Is there an app that can be used to connect the watch as a mic/speaker or another way of doing this?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
No, no way. It's a stand alone watch. You can use M2D for notifications but that's it. It was never meant to be a companion watch

[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
What you have done here is collected just about all the copyright protected faces and launchers ever made and distributed them without permission.

You do not own any of them. You did not make any of them and you have been reported - not just to the XDA admin team but to outside agencies as well.

What did you think you were doing ? It's a blatant act of piracy .......
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Are you kidding? There are thousands there :)

The problem you are having is that G+ has a post count limit on your view - so you have to use the search option.

Search for TAG for example or whatever you're looking for ........

How to root and install twrp in FINOW X5 AIR smart watch

Hello,

I bought Finow x5 air.

Overall I am satisfied with the watch, but there are some disappointments.

I am not able to make the watchmaker live wallpaper work on this watch as the stock launcher not supporting the live wallpaper. Without freezing it , no other launcher can be worked in it.

So anybody can help me to describe how to install TWRP and root this watch using superSU. Kindly provide the download links also.

Second disappointment is that the bluetooth not support launching of google assistant by pressing the dial button of bluetooth head set.Not completely hands free

.Anybody knows any firmware compatible with this watch which support this function

Waiting for your reply.

it is normal ?

can someone tell me how to fix the "bluetooth DC" problem in my X5air when it's not normal..

thankyou btw.. :)
[Other SmartWatches] dArK26:
It is not a problem of the clock, it is the update that finow sack since December, repairs the GPS but Bluetooth disconnects it and closes the native Synchronization app, I recommend you use watch droid assistance and the important thing is to convert this application part of the system and you prevent it from disconnecting.

There is a Russian forum where someone deleted the services of Google and the app store, it works very well since it does not spend a lot of battery if you just want to use the watch with notifications from the mobile

X5 wake up alone and do not return in sleep mode

Hi,

After 18 months, the watch quickly runs out as it wakes up alone (even when it is on the desk) and does not sleep after that (don't turn off the screen) even with a "sleep mode" of 15 seconds. It goes to the emergency call screen or the home screen by itself.

I tried to clean the buttons with compressed air without result. The buttons are not stuck.

I've tried a Reset without any result.

Do you have any solution for that?

Do the notifications including texts,emails etc show on the watch as they would on an Android Wear watch if I am using my phone and not the built in watch abilities. Thanks in advance.

Review of X5 at following link, although it appears mainly an advert

http://www.xiaomitoday.com/finow-x5-review/
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
"In power saving mode, the battery has strong endurance of more than 11 days. "

Seriously? That's like saying it gets good battery life if you don't turn it on. They also get the display diameter right on one line then wrong on the next.
[Other SmartWatches] ditotay:
I'm only interested if this smartwatch has a proper connection with a cellphone, so I can read my notifications. I would love to have a standalone smartwatch, but I also need the tethering function.
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
Yes, it's full of contradictions, that's the reason why I say "it's an advert".

I suspect that the reviewer didn't even see the watch. :(

Reported specs don't even match with the official specs on the vendor web site.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Here's my opinion on it based on years of working with Chinese smartwatches. It will be no different than the K8 Round and D5 in usage and features. So it will have tethering, it will work as a standalone, it will not have fully interactive notifications like Wear, it will not function as a speaker/mic for your phone calls when used as a companion.

Here's a hint when dealing with Chinese smartwatches- if it has the same general specs/features listed as a current/previous model from any other Chinese brand, it's the same watch but with a different case or name.
