Hello, someone is using the GW01 with an iPhone?

With android if you get far from the phone, so the bluetooth disconnects, when you come back, does it automatically reconnect?

Also, I have read that some people have the issue that by default the audio (call, vocal messages, etc) is sent to the smartwatch speaker, but that it is possible to switch to the internal speaker of the phone. With iPhone this is possible as well. However, when the smartwatch gets disconnected from the phone, and gets connected again, it doesn't remember this setting and I have to switch again the audio output. How about with android?

Finally, I've read how to add new smartwatches with android, do you know if it is possible with iPhone as well?

Thanks!

I have the watch connected to my Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (MIUI 8 & Android 5.0.1), so all I say is based on what I experienced with these 2 devices paired using Mediatek Smartdevice app.

1. The watch automatically reconnects when it come back close to the phone.

2. By default the audio (call, vocal messages, etc) is sent to the smartwatch speaker. This could be fixed by an app coled Soundabout that is able to route the sound to the phone speaker/earpiece. The problems seems to appear when the phone disconnects and connects again, as the phone's volume turns to mute and if you turn the volume on, if you try to make a call it automatically turns to mute again. To solve the problem, you have to open Mediatek Smartdevice app and disconnect the watch from this app, After that, turn off the Soundabout app, connect again the watch from the Mediatek Smartdevice app and turn on again the Soundabout app.

3. As I don't own an Iphone, I don't have any clue how to add watchfaces by Iphone.

Did you guys noticed that the roman numbers clock face on that watch has a bug which is that the day of the week is not shown sundays? any fixes on that?

Which firmware version do you have? I have: R02S_GW01_2_T6_L2_G4_B_160803.

How can I upgrade the firmware?
[Other SmartWatches] igorlion:
I have R02S_GW01_2_T6_L2_G4_A_160801 2016/08/01 ...seems yours version gunther82 is newer then mine....how can I upgrade...?!

drusu.sv can you please gave a link for SoundAbout Pro version?!? and also please explain how to configure it out to be able to answer on phone when you recive the call...Thanks!!!
[Other SmartWatches] gunther82:
I don't know how to upgrade it, I just received the smartwatch with this firmware version.

Regarding the audio with iPhone, I figured that every time the smartwatch reconnects to the phone's bluetooth it is necessary:

- to set the iPhone as default in Airplay (for notification and all the other system sounds)

- to set the iPhone as default speaker when a voice call starts, both in or out, by means of the speaker button appearing during the phone call (for voice call, voice messages, siri)

It's quite annoying, but I don't think there is a more permanent solution, bluetooth technology is quite annoying about personalization, especially on iOS.
[Other SmartWatches] drusu.sv:
for SoundAbout Pro version, check it on Google Play. to be able to answer on phone when you recive the call, you have to set phone call audio on let app decide or earpiece and on connectable device>bluetooth settings>phone call behavior uncheck all options.

anybody knows how to show the contact names on the watch when recieving a call? mine shows just the phone numbers, not the name of the contact who calls me. thanks.

does anyone of you know how to make to have the names of the caller displayed on watch when someone is calling me? currently my watch shows just the caller's number, but not the name. thx.
[Other SmartWatches] cyrusalmighty:
Just wanted to let you GW01 owners know that you can flash GW01 with No. 1 G3 Firmware. You can then add watch faces within file manager of watch. Or you can simply use mediatek android app to add VXP watch faces to appmanager folder. The VPX watch face thread has many created watch faces that work with GW01

Here is the website the XDA member created that has the watch faces for GW01 and other mtk2502. http://vxpface.ml/?i=1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=69484140
[Other SmartWatches] drusu.sv:
You can add watchfaces also without flashing No.1 G3 firmware. just unzip the archive downloaded from http://vxpface.ml and copy the three files in the phone, in appmanager folder. After that, the watchfaces will apear in My applications menu in Mediatek SmartDevice App. From here you can install it to the watch. Don't install too many watchfaces at a time (to be safe install max 4 external watchfaces on watch at a time), otherwise you will brick it. Also be carefull to not uninstall a watchface which is currently in use because that will brick your watch.

So I got a GW01 about a week ago & really love it, especially considering the reasonable price!

I've seen this digital face in a few photos, but my watch didn't come with it.. how can I get it??
[Other SmartWatches] Tornator:
Hi,

seems you have another (newer?) firmware. Please do a backup and post it here !

The requested watch face is in my firmware. I posted it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67661877&postcount=22

According to MediaTek my watch has R02S_GW01_2_T6_L2_G4_B_160803 I guess that's a hair newer than yours? So am I able to "downgrade" my firmware?

Sure I'll post up my version if it's helpful to anyone. I'm bummed my version doesn't have any decent digital watch faces,, just a couple stupid ones that have small numbers & dumb scenery in the background :eek:

Hi,

with my GW01 and a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro there is the problem that it won't reconnect automatically most times when I leave and reenter the area covered by bluetooth. It only seems to work several times when no bluetooth is available for just a few seconds.

Is there a workaround for this issue?

yes, seems you have newer one. A downgrade should be possible. Don't forget to backup your firmware as described in the other thread !

GW01 using tizen face

I just bought GW01 as my first smartwatch. i was surprise that only 5 default face/skin from the watch. i downloaded some faces from this thread. but i wonder, can i use any other faces like from samsung mobile or other, as this GW01 OS is the same Tizen OS ?
[Other SmartWatches] Chief monkey:
be careful adding new watch faces more than one at a time and even more careful deleting them!!Just bricked mine deleting three vpx files I was using.. duh should have read thread.. I did get a flash of a screen that said safe mode with the four icons though ,not just a black screen, but it was totally unresponsive and I only have a Mac no windows machine..does anyone know of a better iOS app than mediatek smart? all it offers is sync with pedometer

more watchfaces here or in this thread

install mediatek smartdevice app from google play

download the watchface archive, unzip it and copy the 3 files to the appmanager folder in internal memory of the phone. after that the watchfaces will appear in my applications menu from mediatek smartdevice app and you 'll be able to install and unninstall them from there

be carefull with installing custom watchfaces. don't install more than 4 at a time and don't unninstall the watchface which is currently in use (be sure to select a stock watchface before uninstalling a custom one) . otherwise you will brick your watch.

There are five watch faces included by default, and you may add five more with the Mediatek Smart app on your smartphone. Change to another face by selecting the clock app on the watch, and select clock face.

Hi Everyone.,

I am planning to buy Smartwatch.

Please suggest me one which has following feature.

1- It should be able to connect to Bluetooth Headset,

so that I don't have to pull out my phone to receive or make call.

2. Alarm(vibration)

3. Good battery life ( at least 6hrs while calling).

4. Notification like SMS/Whatsapp/Gmail.

My goal is to "make / receive calls from the Smartwatch and speak over BT headset, without ever touching the phone. "

PS: I have Xiaomi redmi 2 prime (android lollipop).

Problem with the sound

Hi

I got this Watch around 2 months ago, but havent used it that much.

Worked flawless out of the box, but sounded a bit to much so changed some kind of settings to remove the sound. After that I cant seem to get it back.

Did reinstall both the Watch and the mediatek app, but cant get the sound back on the Watch. When someone tries to call me, the Clock vibrates, but no sound, and when I answer they can hear me, but I cant hear them. Same with Music and voice memos etc. I cant get any sound from the Watch :/

Anyone experienced something similiar?

Running tracker w intensity zones

Hi,

the GW01 has all hardware functionality to support cardio training (running): heart rate measurement, vibration, BT (BLE / GATT). There are also great android apps supporting it incl. intensity zones. E.g. Sports Tracker Running & Biking.

But I couldn't connect the app (running Android 7.01) and the GW01 so I see the HR on the app.

Anyone tested? Needs a firmware upgrade? or the G3 firmware?

thx

Good news! I have just revived my watch back by using the firmware i found on Russian website

[Instructions]

Just extract it to your c:\ then open your flash tool and point the target config file to this.

The funny thing is flash tool keep saying "the config file is invalid" if you put the firmware to any other directories besides c:\

I hope this would work out for you too!

Since i am a newbie and XDA does not let newbies include external link in post. I will inbox you with the link.
[Other SmartWatches] soniccm:
Yes it works after tested here is the file...

As a tip to the flashtool choose first total format and then reconnect and do the install

You can use another one of course, just the width should be 22mm. This one that I have it's a little bit wobbly, but it's ok. The thing is that the watch is matte, the band is shiny, but it doesn't look that it does not belong.

Yesterday, I was trying to unlock my SPH-L720, I followed the thread, it was necessary to change the MF5 Modem .

When I flashed the other Modem that was recommended ( MDC )and when I am done unlocking, I tried to go back flashing the MF5 Modem again, but it failed ! That caused me the "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue" problem, luckly, the Download mode was working so I flashed a TWRP recovery, then I did the wipes, then I flashed Lollipop 5.0.1 official ROM, but when the phone started, it was in mess, sound not working and black screen sometimes, lag ...

So I tried to flash the One Click Odin Restore for SPH-L720, but it failed did not pass and caused again the problem of " Firmware Upgrade ...." then I flashed the recovery again , did the wipes and I was lucky because I flashed the official 4.4.2 ROM and it worked ! The phone was normal again , then I upgraded it to 5.0.1. :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] vatvedt:
Hi,

My phone is rooted, decrypted and TWRP as a recovery, but still running the stock ROM. I'm looking to disable the notification telling me an OTA update is available. I'm guessing I can't easily upgrade the phone without loosing root or worse? The update isn't really that important to me at the moment. I would just like to disable the notification reminding me all the time. Seems there used to be an easy way of doing this on earlier Android versions, but not on Marshmallow? Or maybe Samsung makes this harder?

Any ideas?

Thanks! :)

Anyone? Would love to be able to dismiss the notification without upgrading. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kutulu32:
Why dont you try to freeze the notification with titanium .

I am not sure but try freezing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent

Try also com.samsung.firmware.nfc com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp

I am not rooted but disabled them with package disabler

I think if you freeze them all updating menu doesnt work at all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] vatvedt:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot soon. I'm waiting for my Micro-SD-card to arrive. Right now, my phone is too full to take a Nandroid-backup. I'd like to take a backup before I freeze the ones you mentioned, just in case. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] vatvedt:
Freezing com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent did the trick. Well, most of the trick at least. It removed the notification from the pull-down menu, and hence the lockscreen. It didn't remove it from the settings menu. Tried freezing the other three packages as well, but it didn't seem to change anything else. At least not visual. Removing the notification in the settings menu as well would be great, but at least I got rid of the most annoying one. :D

So again, thanks!

If anyone know of a way to remove the notification in settings (the white large notification "billboard" at the top :laugh: ), let me know.. :D

you mean the quick settings and the search button?

you can remove all shortcuts but still leaves the "edit quick settings" i dont know if we can disable it with package dis

why dont you try to go to notifications advanced more and show system apps. Maybe you can disable the notification from there. "System" is present there.

I was having the same issue with ota notification. My sprint S7 is not rooted (obviously, lol) so I disabled com.wssyncmldm and com.sec.android.soagent as you suggested with Package Disabler Pro and it got rid of the notification. Actually, when I disabled com.wssyncmldm the notification went away instantly so not sure if com.sec.android.soagent was necessary but I left it disabled as well.
