I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY D5+

how do you download the .apk file of the settings search app to the smartphone?

from the playstore?

when i tried it. it just installed the app on my phone.

how can i get the .apk file?
[Other SmartWatches] yager01:
I downloaded on my pc. But you can download an app from the play store on your phone. Fir example apk extractor. With this you can save the apk after transfer file to the watch...then install the apk on your watch
[Other SmartWatches] ranke73:
thanks

did it

but unfortunatly it didnt solve the problem .
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Can any of you guys have a look at your running apps please?

I need to know if you have 2 Google play apps running at once. Or google services etc etc...
[Other SmartWatches] stephenbastic:
I'm having the same issue. I've tried logging in through the store, chrome, etc. Just blue screens. Brand new out of the box. Tried factory reset. I was able to login to google on the watches browser but it didn't keep me logged in anywhere else on the phone. Its basically useless.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Yes theres an IMEI. No just turned on wireless and tried to login to goole play.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Can you tell me if you have two play store apps in running apps please?
[Other SmartWatches] stephenbastic:
No, its straight out of the box.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
You didn't even accept the OTA which was offered as soon as you powered it on?
[Other SmartWatches] iamthebest22:
I have a question, some sites say that this is 3G WCDMA 850/1900/2100Mhz (like on Gearbest), but some other sites say 850/2100 Mhz only, which is a huge difference, because I'm in Canada, and our network require BOTH WCDMA 850 and 1900 Mhz for it to work on their network. Does anyone know the correct frequencies it supports? Thank you!﻿
[Other SmartWatches] Motormouse4:
I think this may be related to the problem. I tried downloading 'settings search' and installed. When I add my google account I have a similar problem, the screen is blocked after accepting t's and c's. I then tried logging into my account on chrome, same problem.

It appears that there is a screen or popup after logging into google, confirmation or something, which is not visible on the small screen. I have to swipe down to dismiss, but then I'm not logged on.
[Other SmartWatches] stephenbastic:
No, it didn't ask me to update. They must of sent it with the OTA already installed. I'm ready to throw it the garbage.
[Other SmartWatches] Motormouse4:
Go into Settings->About->Wireless Update
[Other SmartWatches] stephenbastic:
The problem is people uploaded the OTA and now can't login to google accounts on the d5+. I know where wireless update is. They don't have a fix for this released.
[Other SmartWatches] Motormouse4:
I couldn't log in before the update. I'm now thinking it has something to do with my google account. Could be prompting for a payment method or something.
[Other SmartWatches] stephenbastic:
For me I can login. But after I accept the terms and conditions it black/blue faces or shows a continuously spinning arrow. The firmware version I have is from 11/24/2016. So it should be pre OTA disaster. I even tried creating a new Google account and same result.
[Other SmartWatches] yager01:
Can you login or can't? I don't understand...sorry
[Other SmartWatches] Motormouse4:
No. I enter username/password, which are verified, then there is a screen with terms and conditions, after selecting 'next' the screen gets stuck, I'm assuming there's a popup which is not visible. The only thing I can do is swipe down to go back, but am not logged in.
[Other SmartWatches] yager01:
Ok...and what is the solution ??
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
Install the Google Play Services app would solve this issue. You could download here.APK
[Other SmartWatches] yager01:
This is not working... Same problem :(
[Other SmartWatches] stephenbastic:
That APK solution has helped anybody. I don't know why people posting it. It's been days now and the developers still haven't fixed this crap. Maybe they should test an OTA before they send it out and crash everybody's watch.
[Other SmartWatches] Matki123:
Hi the installing of apk 5.0 works for , i can accses to play store normal again , thanks guys. I just didit as instructet , download apk for android 5.0 and send it to watch with bluetooth , instal get sign in google account and thats it .
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I am personally working on this with Finow (yes-they make the main board in the D5+)

It is not seething that can be fixed simply. Many users are reporting varying degrees of damage caused by this issue.

Some say it is just the Play Store app - some say IMEI has been wiped as well.

Others are reporting 2 versions of the Google apps running after the OTA.

In short it will mean a significant OTA delivery and could mean a complete replacement of all the Google apps and framework which are installed.

Please have some patience .......

Hello guys!

I am expecting my D5+ tomorrow and reading the recent posts I understand that I better not update the firmware due to the login problem in google account.

Is that correct?

Will the watch be ok when I receive it?

Android Wear

Hi is there any possibility to create Android wear ROM for these watches, they have perfect HW, and Android wear optimized for watches could bring great user experience.

I have tried to install huawei watch ROM but it didn't worked. Do you have any experience with creating custom ROM ?

thank you very much.

:fingers-crossed: No, it's not possible to install the Android Wear ROM. You can't put the different things together.
[Other SmartWatches] darkmage1975:
Hi, I got this watch, I think it's really nice. But there's a problem about all of these chinese watches that mount a full version of Android: manage windows app form factor or dimension. I mean: I tried to install Google Fit, when I run it I see the first window in a square form factor that's not scrollable. So it says "please accept terms of service" or something like that, but the "confirm" button (that should be in the lower right corner) is not visible!

There's a way to solve these issues? Google fit is only an example, I found other apps with the same problem...

Thank you.
[Other SmartWatches] Tomojpuszek:
Hi,

Try to install Settings Search on you watch, and there is an option like "triple-tap to zoom" in the display menu, in this way you can access to hidden icons in corners,, it's the solution I use ;)

I have also configure my google/play store account via this program, and menu "Add an account", after having some issues with the "payment configuration" window when installing something from the play store.

Hope it helps ;)
[Other SmartWatches] jrosado:
Hi:

I'm considering between this watch and the D6 model. Does anyone knows if the option "1, Change watch interface to square format" added in last firmware enables to run applications that expect a square screen without problem and son we can access to setting options that do not apear on the screen?
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
According to this news, it does support this feature.News But D6 may not need this feature. My D6 works well:D
[Other SmartWatches] jrosado:
Thanks for your quick answer. In the meantime, I'm giving up on the idea to buy a smartwach. I've being performing some experiments with the ZGPAX S99 i offered my kids, and no matter i try, i'm unable to make sports tracker to communicate with my heart rate band (polar HR-7), even though the watch is able to pair with it on the Bluetooth connection.

I'm going to keep on using my armband with my Nexus 5 and probably upgrade my phone to a Vodafone Smart Platinum 7, which has longer battery duration.
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
You can't pair the watch with a smartband. They are all companion devices but not as a standalone smartphone.

And I agree, for sports tracker, smartband is more specialized. And of course, more battery life.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
WARNING !!

read this http://www.chinawatchs.com/new-soc-in-no-1-d5-plus/
[Other SmartWatches] jrosado:
It was not a smartband. It was a chest Bluetooth heart rate band (Polar modal HR-7). I was able to pair the watch with it and in once of the times sports tracker was also able to connect with it, but when simulating a running, the heart rate measurement did not appear.
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
It did pair via Bluetooth but it won't work. The smartwatch is not smart enough to handle this heart rate monitor.

I think the only companion device is headset.:D
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
There have been quite a bit of people with issues with Systemless root, there are some apps that are not recognizing root, i had this issue with my Oneplus One on COS 13.1 and now the same thing works with our OnePlus 3 on OxygenOS

I had come across this on another forum, i don't recall where so i don't want to take the credit for this, i just want to provide the fix for people who have this phone and having issues

Download Terminal from app store and type

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
touch /system/bin/su
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SDMU:
Thank you ! Before I try this , can you tell me what this method is doing ? All I can tell is that it is mounting something as read only instead of read write :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
I belive it creates a dummy file bc some apps require it to show as a system file
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Squabl:
1. su
2. mount -o remount,rw /system
3. touch /system/bin/su
4. mount -o remount,ro /system
5. reboot

1. To get root privileges

2. Remounts /system partition in writable mode

3. Creates an empty file called su to /system/bin/ folder

4. Remounts /system partition to read only mode.

5. reboot

Edit. As stated above, some apps still check root access by looking su file in /system/bin folder
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] candiesdoodle:
This defeats the purpose of a system less su, I.e., not modifying the system partition. Step 3 modifies the system partition.

The reason apps are not seeing the su in system less state is because they have been written incorrectly. Chainfire already said these apps should be re written
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Squabl:
Yes, it "disables" systemless root and afterwards it is just a root and banking apps and ota updates etc will fail. I don't need systemless root so I have modified my system partition to get some poorly coded apps to function. This method is not recommended if you need systemless root and it's a good thing that you pointed that out!

Hi guys , first of all thanks to those who build blankflash for Moto G (falcon) of Android 5.x. I am stuck in the middle of getting life back of my Moto G.

Blankflash run successful and now i am in fastboot mode. In the post they have mention that we can flash stock rom only when Battery is ok so we have to put moto g in charge for atleast 2 hours(usb charging). But i have plugged it for 6-7 hours continuously and also run the reboot command but still it is in Battery Low condition. So please suggest me some another way.:(:(:(:(:(

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayItsDave:
So last time I had a Samsung device it was a S3 and I have been using and loving my nexus 6 however it finally got a nasty crack in it so I'm downgrading to a Samsung s6. My nexus 6 was originally from AT&T and I just had to fill out some form online to unlock it to work on tmobile and I plan to do the same with the s6 however i was reading up and someone said their are differences between the s6 on AT&T and tmobile most notably Hotspot and wifi calling are disabled. Is this still true? Will I need to flash a TMobile ROM on my s6? Or will those features be unlocked once I insert my tmobile sim card? Thanx in advance.
[LG G2 Mini] ivan_aip:
Hi !

I have recently unrooted my lg g2 mini because of heat issue .. I think I did installed a wrong framework for xposed. After unrooting my phone was normal again no heat or battery drainning. So, as I was presenting my phone to my mother so I did a wipe and after that my phone shows that there is network whereas there is no sim card and after inserting sim card also it says there is no sim but showing network bars ! And if I try to give a software update it says it can not be done because, the phone is suspected of rooting.

I did rooted my phone last year with king root.

How I can fix this ?

Thank you.
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:

[XDA Assist] supermaku:
I have an LG V400 which I successfully rooted using KingRoot. I installed Flashify on it and flashed a TWRP image from techbeasts.com. I then used Flashify's built in "Boot into Recovery" option. On boot,

ERROR: Boot certification verify

was written in small print at the top left corner of the tablet. It was stuck there for about 15 minutes, until I hard rebooted it and it came to the lock screen. However, I can not reset the tablet to factory defaults (it need to reboot to do that), nor do I have a backup image of the tablet before the failed installation. If I try to reboot the device, it shows the same error on boot until you hard reboot it. How can I get out of this? (preferably reset the tablet to factory defaults).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanhnn:
Hello guys,

I'm newbie here. I'm not a tech guy, to be honest. My problem is that I'm stuck on the HTC Logo Screen. My phone is HTC One M8 Eye.

So this morning, I was trying to root my phone. I unlocked my phone already ( now my phone said "Software Status: Modified" and "***Unlocked***" ). Everything was good until I was installing SuperSU.zip file. It didn't work. So I tried to search for a newer version of SuperSU, I think it's 2.56 or 2.76. I copied that to my phone, trying to install via TWRP 2.7.0.2. Everything was good, I though. It said "successful" and "all done". But when it rebooted, it got stuck on HTC Logo Screen.

I tried to turn it back on and off by holding the lock botton, volume up and volume botton at the same time. Then I tried to force it to go into the fastboot mode ( I don't know what to do call that ) where it showed me some options like fastboot, hboot, recovery and stuffs...I'm freaked out from this point and tried to relock my phone via the toolkit by Hasoon. Then I also returned my phone to S-on.

Now the problem is that I can get into the recovery screen with options like fastboot, hboot, but I don't have access to my internal storage anymore. And I'm stuck with HTC Logo Screen. The closest time was that it said "HTC One tm" but not "HTC". Then nothing happens next.

I'm pretty sure I messed up...A LOT.

Please, if anyone knows how to solve this, help me? :( I'm like, here, begging you since this phone is really important to me. :(

Thank you in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
1. Your main mistake is using an outdated tool

2. Bigger mistake you used tool meant for M8 not M8 eye (they are different device)

3. Biggest mistake you used an outdated TWRP and not meant to be used on M8 eye.

You can try :

1. Install correct TWRP for M8 eye - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62030698&postcount=144

2. Install SuperSU 2.76

and see your device will boot or not.

If not, you need to restore nandroid backup or RUU
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This is exactly what is supposed to happen when you relock the bootloader, it renders the phone unable to boot into OS. This should never be done, unless you are going to flash an RUU.

Along with the other mistakes already pointed out, it seems you are trying things without properly understanding what the result will be, and without researching properly beforehand.

Also, you say you went back to s-on, but were you ever actually s-off? The only working s-off method is sunshine, which requires root. Therefore, I don't see how the phone could have been s-off (unless you received it that way) and it doesn't actually make sense when you say you returned to s-off.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

That is called the bootloader screen. You were trying to get into fastboot mode, and you got the bootloader screen, which then allow you to select fastboot (use vol keys to move between options, power button to confirm, if fastboot is not already selected) so I don't see what the issue is here?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanhnn:
Hello,

Thank you for your reply. I successfully installed the TWRP version you mentioned. But I don't know how to push the supersu zip file into my phone now since I don't have access to the internal storage. :(

Can you help me please?

Boot into TWRP, and your phone's internal storage should show up if you connect to your PC.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanhnn:
Hello redpoint73,

Thank you for your help. :)

But I'm now stuck in a new problem. I'm stuck at the bootloader screen. :(

I guess I'm somehow closer to finishing fixing my phone ( or I hope so since this is really important to me ).

I tried to install ROM ( which I downloaded from the HTC website I think ) but it didn't work out well. It said it was about to reboot but when it did, it returned to the bootloader screen. I tried to reboot a 2 times already but it always returned to the same screen. :(

What should I do now?

Thank you again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I can't tell from the (lack of) information provided, what you have done to this point.

You said you installed TWRP 3.0? Were you ever able to boot into TWRP (or it just went to bootloader)?

If you were able to boot TWRP, were you able to use it access internal storage, as I suggested? Then what happened next?

What you downloaded is likely an RUU (ROM Update Utility) not just a ROM, there are distinct and critical differences, and you should take care not the mix up the terminology.

What is the (full and exact) file name of the RUU? You need to make sure its the right one for your device, before proceeding. And to make sure which path you want to take: TWRP to flash SuperSU or restore stock backup,

or

RUU. As the process is very different for each. RUU required you relocking the bootloader, which in turn prevents the installation of TWRP. So you need to be sure of which way you want to proceed the path forward, otherwise you will be wasting time going around in circles.

Also, you should do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can see more info about the phone; in order to proceed properly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanhnn:
Dear redpoint73,

Thank you for all the help you have provided until now.

Yes, I can get into the TWRP ( after I selected HBOOT, I selected RECOVERY and there I was, in the TWRP ). I can get to the internal storage but I'm not sure that is what you mentioned before. Which I can access is that I can select the zip file to install ( in the TWRP screen ) , nothing else I guesss. ( I asked yesterday that how could I access the internal storage because I wanted to copy the ROM file into my phone and install it in the TWRP )

I think I downloaded both the RUU and the ROM.

Case 1: WITH THE RUU:

Everything was okay and I'm pretty sure that I downloaded the correct version ( the other two versions said that I had to use the correct one for my phone ). The file name was RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_6.20.502.5_combined. However, I encountered the error 171 although I downloaded the HTC One Drivers already ( which is HTC Sync ). I couldn't get through this error so I gave up and tried something with the ROM.

Case 2: WITH THE ROM:

So I downloaded the ROM first from someone in xda forum. I installed it via TWRP and it said "Successful" on the screen. It said that I just gotta tap "reboot". But when my phone rebooted, it went back the bootloader screen. I rebooted 2 more times and the results were still the same. So I searched for some ROMs from other sources and all the times, it said "Successful" on the screen. It just always went back to the bootloader screen however.

Anyway, this is my phone info ( I think ) from the command getvar all:

version: 0.5

version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000

version-baseband: 1.29.213311711.15G

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Case 1 : wrong RUU for your device

Case 2 : wrong ROM for your device

Do you really read what I posted above ? Your device is M8 eye not M8.

Case 1 : there is no RUU available for M8 eye 5.07.425.1

Case 2 : there is almost no flashable ROM for M8 eye

Using M8 RUU you'll get error, using ROM meant for M8 it won't boot, you'll get stuck on bootloader

Until you can find 5.07.425.1 RUU or backup, temporarily fix your device by restoring 5.07.401.1 backup that you can find in my backup thread.
