Hey Jorge,

I started up the tool, selected the .cfg as configuration file and clicked Download. Are there any other steps? Is there another tool other than the one used to flash the No1 firmware in the first place?

Thank you for your help

Hello guys, Im thinking about buying this watch. Can anyone who had it for a few weeks give a review? And tell us how does it work with calls, messages, controlling music etc.

It would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Yoel

nothing has changed except the custom watchfaces which can be solved by flashing the NO.1 firmware but that reduses the battery life by half.

Hi.

i've used my watch 1 day. And I install Digitall WatchFace trough MediatekSmartDevice and try to apply strange empty watchface. And now It didnt work. I see only start animation.

How can I do hardreset or reinstall firmware?

Please help.

UPD. Tried connect with usb and on the 100' attempts it started working!

And now i try to cure anoter "bug" watch take calls like blutooth hands-free ehen i start and recieve call. But I really don't want it!
[Other SmartWatches] mford120:
Been using the GW01 for two weeks now. Overall I am happy. Works well and looks nice but there are a few things that bug me with the notifications.

1. It pops up for 5 seconds and then returns to the watch face. I prefer it stay up until dismissed like on my old U10 watch.

2. When there are 2 or more notifications, it just says "2 notifications" instead of showing the most recent one and having the ability to scroll to the next one. so I have to navigate to the notifications and scroll through each one at a time.

3. There is no CLEAR ALL on the notifications so you have to delete one at a time. A huge pain if you are getting 20 notifications an hour

These would not be much of an issue if there was a "nice" watch face that showed the notification count and a link directly to the notifications screen

Both of these issues were better on the u10 but that was really cheap. Speaker broke within a few weeks and the bluetooth kept disconnecting

Hi all, since my K88H is dead, I would like to buy new round watch. And I found this GW01, it looks cool because of full round face. My question is, are we able to change/remove the strap of the watch? Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
Hye guys. I've found a way to create .vxp watch faces. I have tested it in my K88H watch, and it is working. I'm wondering if GW01 can also use it. Anybody wanted to try it?

Here I attach the .vxp watch face that I created. Just copy paste all files into /appmanager/ folder in you phone sdcard/storage. then install it using Mediatek Smart Device or Fundo. but I only test to install using Mediatek Smart Device.
[Other SmartWatches] Jorge Moreira:
It's works.

Don't appear the data of day number. But works the rest.[emoji41]

How you made this works? What is the program?

Hi, thank you for trying. yes I made the .vxp. A xda member name "zcj" teach me. I wanted to make a details tutorial thread for how to make the vxp but now my watch is dead so I cannot do it.

the "zcj" member have create a thread sharing vxp face and he also put links to the original tutorial.

Here is the thread : http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/watch-vxp-files-t3437311
[Other SmartWatches] HoustonReal:
The GW01 uses a standard spring bar system, so all standard 22mm leather and non-end link bands will work. Mine came on a Milanese loop stainless strap, instead of leather. Changing the strap is the same as a regular watch, but the lugs are a little closer to the body.
[Other SmartWatches] mooncrown_ksk:
very good clock face but not working day...
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
Thank you. yeah that's the problem. right now it is only possible to create watch face with only hour, minute and seconds hands. other function such as date, battery, does not work.
[Other SmartWatches] mooncrown_ksk:
Thank you for your interest. original clock faces in batteries and other functions, is not it possible to adapt it works on the clock? I ask you a gw01 Have the original clock faces of the first hour.
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
There is no way to extract the original clock, and no source codes. maybe in future we can. The guy who teach me how to build the vxp have update the tutorial, now we can create digital watch face!
[Other SmartWatches] HansTheRabit:
can someone help me?! i delited a watchface while it was active and on, activated on the watch so you culd see the time. After the delete my watch froze, stoped working i saw only a black screen, after restart there was only connecting screen always on.

i recorded the watch but cant post outside links... yet

could i repair it with flashing a new rom or... pls help
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
this happen to my old watch, and now is dead forever since it cannot flash. but thankfully gw01 can be flash using flashtool. just explore this thread, there is the stock stock rom for gw01.
[Other SmartWatches] W3hrWolf:
Hi,

we need much more watchfaces :)

I like my GW1, very cool smartwatch!! But, we need much more vxp watchfaces. I anybody out there, who can create these vxp watchfaces? Pleaaaseeeeeeeee..

Best Regards

Edit: Some of these are working: s2 and citizen XDA-Thread. The rest will have some problems wont show clockhands or the background.
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
there are limit when installing the vxp watch face. as example if you install 3 watch faces together, only 1 will work properly. Best practice is to install 1 watch face at a time. Also be careful! DO NOT UNINSTALL WATCH FACES WHILE YOU ARE USING/DISPLAYING THEM. this will result in your watch brick, like what happen to my old watch.

I'm still waiting for my GW01, when I get it I will start to create more watch face.
[Other SmartWatches] W3hrWolf:
Hi,

hope you will get it soon :)

..and thanks for the hint to deinstall and install of watchfaces. :)

I try to make my own Watchface, but i need a tutorial.

I don´t understand the Post "How to build watch face .vxp"

For example the Resolution on point 2. I can not change it to 240x240......
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
you don't have to change the resolution. just let it be. You just only need to resize the pictures to 240x240.
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
Hi, anybody have the latest gw01 firmware? Mine just brick, thankfully I manage to fix it by flashing Jeorge backup (thank you so much). But it looks like an older version. Mine have does not have the roman face and the simple digital clock, but have other digital clock which is so nice. Thank you.

For those curious, I'm creating and experimenting vxp watch face, and it bricks haha.
[Other SmartWatches] Jorge Moreira:
Hi [MENTION=4318666]zafrix8[/MENTION],

My firmware backup you used is the first firmwares that came out. The version is 14.04.2016.

From what I've seen here, since there are two versions then mine.

I am glad for my backup to help you. In this case your Ulefone GW01. ;)

Best regards,

Jorge Moreira
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
Okay thanks. I'm so glad this GW01 can be reflash firmware. my old watch (k88h) cannot be flash. I was freaking out just now. Thankfully your backup and this thread(flash tutorial) is there to the rescue. And another different that I notice from my firmware is that the new firmware will not showing the bluetooth icon, headset icon and battery icon anymore in the digital face.

For your information I have continue creating vxp watch faces now, since I just received my watch today. Thank you!

here is my GW01 :)

Just visit the vxp watch file thread. but in starting next week I will stop for a while, since I have final examinations.
[Other SmartWatches] cartridgegames:
Is there any chance to get this watchface? I guess this watchface belongs to some other firmware. There is a watchface similar to that but I guess this is official with date option.

And I have a question, my other smartwatch had storage which lets me play music or browse photos in its file explorer thingy. Well for Ulefone GW01, it says it has "ROM: 128MB" So how am I going to use it for photo or music storage? I would like to play some music or change my ringtone. Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
to answer for your 1st question:

The watch face is in early version of gw01 firmware. You can flash Jeorge firmware backup tu get that watch face, or install this unofficial vxp watch face, but it does not display date:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68389480&postcount=73

newer firmware does not have it, but have galaxy and sea digital face.
[Other SmartWatches] HoustonReal:
I was able to recreate a similar face with the help of another member, but without day or date (a restriction of the current MDK software/knowledgebase).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68389480&postcount=73

[IMG="Roman face"]http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/thumbs/3/8/5/5/9/9/4/3855994.png[/IMG]

As for the other question, only 1MB is available for app and watch faces. From my experience, you can load only five additional faces at a time. You can electronically load more faces than those five, but they won't show up in the CLOCK app.

The GW01 can't store music files. It will store about 5:11 minutes of voice memo recordings. The 128MB listed is mostly taken up by, or reserved for, the installed applications.
[Other SmartWatches] cartridgegames:
Flashing to the old firmware does not sounds nice to me, and probably will cause some battery-life problems etc. But I have that watchface on my phone too, I guess I just have to feel okay with that :laugh:

Thanks, I saw it and I have that watchface on my watch already, I just wanted to know if there is any chance to get this official one :/ Anyway we just have to wait for some officials to show how to put dates and temp to watchfaces for better watchfaces

About second question, It's really bad, I was planning to store some music. So is this hardware issue, or is it just because of software, like stopping you to store anything at all like protection maybe? I mean, If I flash it to NO.1 G3's firmware, can I solve this at least for 1-2 songs?
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
Yes if the official one release, then we can start experimenting.

sorry I do not know about second question.
[Other SmartWatches] HoustonReal:
The face I used to recreate the old Roman dial was from the Huawei smart watch. Ulefone basically "borrowed" the design. The Chinese don't mind IP theft as long as it's not from a Chinese firm. I think they faced some problems continuing to use something they ripped off from Huawei.

There should be a way to add day, date, battery and reposition the second hands. I've also noticed that the add on digital faces don't include seconds. There should also be a way to add hands to a "Dual Clock" type face for analog/digital displays. Unfortunately, no one takes ownership for the GW01 (no branding on watch or manual), although Ulefone has admitted to Ulefans.net that they produce them for Gearbest and their affiliates.
[Other SmartWatches] igorlion:
I recived my Ulefone gw01 yesterday....try music, calls, step work good...but health index, heart rate, ecg temperature not working... :( just retry apear...try reseting watch and try again same...any solution please?!? Thanks in advance!!!
[Other SmartWatches] HoustonReal:
When using ECG, Heart Rate or Basal Body Temp, take off the watch and check if the green led on the back center is flashing. It sound like you may have one with a defective LED, sensor or their circuits. I would return the watch if these don't seem to work. the health index may use them as well (BMI + heart rate).
[Other SmartWatches] cartridgegames:
Oh I see.. Gearbest sucks at customer service and I really don't want to know how they fail at product service by contacting with them to learn all these. I'm sure they won't bother to ask to Ulefone at all.

So what about flashing to NO.1 G3's firmware? What is the cons and pros of flashing to NO.1 G3's firmware? I guess changing and creating new watchfaces far more easy in NO.1 G3, right?
[Other SmartWatches] igorlion:
only one led is flashing green...other one not. They should both flash?!
[Other SmartWatches] W3hrWolf:
I use the original firmware, works good, battery life is good (2-3 days), watchface change works good via vxp watchfaces. For me no need to change the firmware.
[Other SmartWatches] HoustonReal:
No, I misstated that. One LED flashes and the other is the receiver/sensor. Bottomline is that if those apps don't work, you probably should return the watch.
[Other SmartWatches] igorlion:
I solve the problem....the led was flashing with pour light so i punch with a finger and light go stronger.....now everything working... Thanks for helping :)

Also I need help with these...when watch and phone connected if i receive a call i cannot answer with phone but i have to answer trough watch...is there a way to answer trough the phone?! Have to be some settings thing but cannot figure it out....

Thanks and all the best!!!
[Other SmartWatches] Vip3r86:
Hi,

i recently bought this smartwatch.

For me there is one really annoying thing: When paired with my phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro) incoming calls are always taken by the GW01 as handsfree. Switching to internal speaker during the call has no effect - mic of the GW01 is still used. Only possibility seems to be disconnecting the watch. Disabling the phone audio profile in phones bluetooth settings also doesn't work because then GW01 is unable to receive any push notifications.

Is there a workaround for this issue?
[Other SmartWatches] danih:
Hi!

I might just had bricked my GW01 :(

What I tried: installing Yahoo Weather.

What happened: watch display vanished, there was no feedback of a successful install.

What I tried: turning it off and back on again (obviously, hehe)

So now when I turn it on the welcome intro animation comes up as normally, and the SMART WATCH text appears. However, the thing is that the text should disappear quickly and the watchface should be displayed. This does not happen - SMART WATCH text remains on the screen for about 20 seconds. Then blank screen for a few seconds, and the Connecting text appears. Of course it never connects, neither does the Connecting text disappear. I have to turn it off again.

Any chances of bringing it back?

Thank you guys
[Other SmartWatches] JoshyFun:
Hello,

I'm just in the same situation for second time :) This happens to me when uninstalled a watchface vpx file, when this is performed by the watch the current watchface is changed :-? and if you uninstall the current one soft brick.

To "unbrick" it the first time I first put the watch in the charge base connected to a PC and the software in the phone "Mediatek smartdevice" or maybe "Fondoo"...

[Unbricked mine while writing...]

Now with the watch in the base power it on (hold on button 10 seconds for forced poweroff), now let it boot and wait to see the "Internal storage" message in the watch (that's the reason of connected PC) now try to connect using the Mediatek SmartDevice (Pressing the watch icon on screen), this procedure usually fails but after 3 or 5 tries it connectes for a few seconds (around 10-20 seconds) and let you install and uninstall apps.

Try to install the vpx that was uninstalled just before the crash, you say that the hang was when you try to install Yahoo (it does not work for me) but I'm quite sure the hang was just before, when you uninstall a watchface as the brick seems to be related to not be able to run the actual face as it is no more in the device.

Good luck.

Hello,

My procedure is not with a Xiaomi but with an Ulefone Future, bluetooth connection is complete except phone audio profile as in my case if I remove phone and multimedia profile GW01 keeps disconnecting constantly or not connecting at all, so I keep multimedia and the other profiles except phone profile. In my case multimedia routed to GW01 is also a problem, all sound notifications go to the watch (great) but also music and youtube videos (Argggg!). As disconnect the multimedia creates a problem I went to Play Store and download "SoundAbout" app and instruct it to route all multimedia audio to the phone (unconditionally), keeping my GW01 working as a notification receiver and some nice watchfaces in an elegant watch.

I'm not sure if "SoundAbout" can also route phne calls to phone unconditionally.
[Other SmartWatches] danih:
Dude, this helped. Took me a few tries, I installed/uninstalled random watchfaces in the MediaTek app but I fixed it!

In my case though, install took forever. So after the third try or so out of boredom I started swiping the on the blank screen of the watch left and right. And after a few secs the menu showed up! I could go into options and change my watchface!

It can, I use it sometimes.

[Other SmartWatches] cyrusalmighty:
Can someone give me their opinion who has knowledge of smart watches? Is this watch worth buying now? I am not fully sure if I should buy the GW 01 or No 1 G3 or just wait until an android west watch lowers in price.

These seem nice and do mostly all I need a watch to do. I am interested in nice watch faces, BT notifications (without looking at phone in pocket)(I am electrician who can't be seen on phone all day. ;) ), and decent battery life. I do not need google maps or movies on a 1.5" screen or to download apps to watch.lol.(maybe google keep for reminders but maybe that can be seen on watch from BT).

I am almost ready to pull the trigger and buy GW 01 from gearbest for $53 including priority S&H to USA. Anyone know of a cheaper/better option for me that offers what this watch does?

Also is it true you can flash G3 FW on GW01 and is there an advantage to doing this?
[Other SmartWatches] zafrix8:
Hi there. GW01 and No.1 G3 is same hardware, except that G3 can insert sim card.

Yes GW01 can be flash with No.1 G3 firmware, due to their same hardware.

The advantage is that No.1 G3 firmware we can create "clock" folder inside the watch storage, and just copy and paste watch face png images. That is to install new watch face, but this only for 1 watch face at a time.

But you can also install .vxp watch face, as I reply to your comment in the other thread.

Overall after about 2 weeks of using this watch, and compare to my other watch K88H, GW01 watch is really good for the price. The design is beautiful, looks like normal watch, not to big and thick. And what I like is the watch strap/band can be change to any other type such as leather or steel.

If I'm not mistaken, No.1 G3 cannot change the strap/band, due to the antenna resides inside the straps, any watch that have sim card cannot change the strap.
[Other SmartWatches] HoustonReal:
I also have a GW01. I have the one with the metal strap, which is quite comfortable. I figured I could always switch to leather for a few dollars (eBay has them for less than $1), but not the other way around.

[IMG="GW01 Smart Watch"]http://gloimg.gearbest.com/gb/pdm-product-pic/Electronic/2016/06/24/goods-img/1466734872305003505.jpg[/IMG]

The GW01 is well made and works fairly well, but it is not an Android Wear equivalent. The GW01 screen is only 240x240 vs 360x360 for most Android Wear models. The battery life is about double because the functions are more limited. You can buy a 1st Gen Moto 360 NIB off eBay for $80.

I have a problem. When I use the watch sync with my nexus 5x I have a huge battery drain. Bluetooth keep the Phone always awake. This is normal? My battery flies with bluetooth connected with the watch. But this didnt hapen if I connect to my car stereo.

Is this device compatible with android 6?
[Other SmartWatches] cyrusalmighty:
Does anyone know If I have watch connected to my phone (which I stream music out of to my Bluetooth headset), could I use watch to skip tracks or control music? This most likely isn't possible but I had to ask.

I don't want to listen to music out of watch speaker or care to stream music out of watch to headset like some have been asking about. It would be awesome to control the music from watch like a "media remote".

Kodi has a WiFi remote called Kore for android which works when on same WiFi network. This is similar idea to what I want. :(

Can we change watch faces by same folder as No 1 G3 smart watch can? They go to File manager>clock folder> there needs to be 5 images (bg.jpg, hour_hand.png, minute_hang.PNG, second_hand.png, and preview.png). Can this method work on GW01 also? In GW01 the folder is already there for me.
