I boyght this watch on christmas, and can't use it like a normal watch because the battery life it's reallly terible.

Full charge and after a 6/7hours no battery. So it's sucks.

I already try everthing i now, no wifi, no BT, battery saver on , lasted FW and still no change.

With the lasted 2 FW the Heart rate doesn't work.

I never ser my pedometer work... So i think it's a defective unity.

I have a wear cenario, with the bt off, my smartphone also detects a BT from the wach, but bot the real name off the watch BT (D5+ android) int's the name, and with the BT off, the phone detects an D5+ but can't pair with it.

Any idea?
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
Does it warm up? Usually it's a sign that something is burning your battery. Mine - when on 2G standby is quite cold. When I turn on navigation I can feel temperature rising a bit. With mobile data it gets hot.

I don't use pedometer (actually I tried even to disable it) but I see it counts steps.

I tried heart rate. It works but I don't use it.

The first thing that comes to mind is for you to check running applications tab. You will see there what is currently working so you can disable it. If there is nothing particular maybe it's a faulty watch.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
The Bluetooth service you can see but cannot pair with is the iPhone BT sync service. For some ridiculous reason you cannot disable it without root access......
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
That's weird. With D5+ turned on (2G only) I just checked Bluetooth settings on my Nexus . Nexus is correctly showing D5+ in "paired devices" and "no available devices". The same after rebooting the watch.

You can go with your D5+ to settings/connections and check if Bluetooth is really turned off (toggle switch). If it is and your phone still shows D5+ in available devices try to turn the watch off to find if this is your smartphone problem or D5 really has Bluetooth radio on.
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
:confused: Reset may help. But this is really weird,it seems that the Bluetooth can't be shut down. If it is software issue, you need to reflash the firmware.
[Other SmartWatches] mr_mufy:
hi guys,

weel it's seems that my no.1 D5+ it's faulty.

- i never see my pedometer working, so i have teste all the hardware and findout the sensor g-sensor isn't working...

I have traying to calibrate but without any sucess.

The battery life it's 8Hours top. with out any config like Bt, wifi nothing installed, only the initial setup finished.

Can some one install the app sensor test and see if the sensores are seened?
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
I think your watch is really faulty. My pedometer always count steps. I don't need it so I tried to disable it with no success. Also sensor responsible for turning on watch face with tilting of the hand did work before I turned off this feature. You can always try to flash newest firmware before you return the watch.

As for the battery all depends on configuration. If you don't use browser and have all syncs off this watch easily lasts for two days on phone standby. 2G phone conversations don't use much power either. If you are interested in my experience with this watch you can read this review:

[Other SmartWatches] mr_mufy:
Hello.

I already have install all the firmwares and never resolves, the lasted firmware makes worst. The heart rate doesnt work...

So i really have to send to gearbest warranty.
[Other SmartWatches] Matki123:
Hey guys

Is there any way to make settings and other background black instead of anoying white ?

No.1 D5+
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
I haven't find it yet. There is something like "color inversion" in the Accessibility settings but it doesn't look good. Anyway I don't see white screen much as I use some app that let me launch favorite apps straight from the watch face. Besides, I find white background handy as a quick torch light at night.
[Other SmartWatches] Matki123:
Do you use the floating toucher app , because i use also , but it is not very usable because the layout and the symbols are very small and the APN data switch widget is not working . Do you recommend some other app.
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
No, I'm using SwipePad - Gesture Launcher. This is great app though tricky to learn because it seems to do nothing after install. You have to go to settings, make launching area the biggest possible (mine is set at 7 to 9 a.m.). Then you can launch apps by touching this area and sweeping toward one of 8 corners - apps. You can do it from every screen - even other app interface. Beware that this launcher works in the background so nothing is visible until you touch the hotspot.

I mostly use swipepad to turn on the navigation or settings. This watch has serious downside. You can't change three home screen apps - music, weather, health into others you need more. Having that would be great.

All floating button launchers made me mad because buttons were changing positions hiding behind the corners of the round face.
[Other SmartWatches] Matki123:
Thank you very much for replay, i will try the swipepad ! And another question , what app do you use for navigation , google maps or something else , what is the best offline navi for this watch ?
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
Osmand. I wrote extensively about it here:

https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/1-d5-biased-review-tips-t3536310

But if you don't need topo you can try some others because Osmand is quite hard to learn. This is the price for it's great versatility.

Google maps also work but they are online so they kill battery fast. And no real topo option.
[Other SmartWatches] dimex:
Does anyone know how to fix the display of Google related apps? Hangouts, Inbox, Gmail, and others show as a small square. I actually want it to display fully on the watch. Tried to force fullscreen using Xposed App Settings but it did nothing.
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
I presume that you are on the last firmware which has the square fit display function. You just have to press hard button longer until you see the second home screen which you use for turning off the watch. In the top part of it there are two little icons to choose between full screen display and small square one. (You have also to restart app to see the effect).
[Other SmartWatches] dimex:
It says my watch is up to date within settings, but at the top after long press, the only options are Normal or Silent. Hangouts, Inbox, and Gmail run full screen on yours?
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
I see. I have firmware 20161226 (manufacturer website). It has display setting in the second home screen. The normal/silent settings were in the previous versions of the firmware. One of previous firmwares was also buggy. So I suggest you flash 20161226 firmware.

It works for me very well. Watch is stable and reliable. (Only mobile data are messed up - it can take 10% of battery in 5 minutes and warm up the watch - but otherwise it works. Wifi is fine.)

Here is manufacturer's info if you downloaded buggy firmware:

http://www.chinawatchs.com/warning-do-not-accept-ota-update-on-android-watch/

Edit: Yes, Gmail and Inbox (I don't use Hangouts) run in full screen like every other app.
[Other SmartWatches] Bob #1:
Hi KilgoreT, you can actually. Swipe left to show the health screen or whatever, then long-press in the middle of the screen. Then you can remove the existing screens, or keep swiping to show the Add screen. Press that to add an installed app.
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
Thanks but it doesn't work in my watch. I already tried it before and after last firmware upgrade. When I long press "weather" screen and swipe I do see a big "plus" screen. But when I click it there are only "weather", "music" and health" to choose from. None of my apps shows here. There is more to it: when I removed "health" I couldn't bring it back so now I have only "music" and "weather".

Otherwise, I really like this watch and always use it when going out. Perfect to answer a call when you have your hands busy.
[Other SmartWatches] carvalhon:
Hi guys.

I'm also in the process of buying a smartwatch, and this one seems interesting, and much cheaper than premium ones (motorola, huawei, samsung). The forum is pretty nice, so we have really use opinions, but I still have some doubts.

My interest in the watch is much more simpler. I want to use it as a normal watch, connected with bluetooth to my phone, so I can get sms, calendar, calls and apps notifications, and of course with at least one day of battery duration. It would be nice to use it also as a sports watch and run strava, endomondo or other app, but I already understood the apps cannot get the hrm data (probably the expensive premium watches also have theese problems).

So, my doubts are thefollowing:

1. Does it fit the requirements above;

2. Does it have vibration when notifications from the phone are received, or how we are notified some notification arrived in the watch.

3. If it turns off automatically, and then turned on with the move or the wrist, when we want to check the clock.

Thank you very much for your help

[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
This is a standalone watch phone. It was made to be independent from smartphones. Using it without sim makes not much sense. His bluetooth coupling functions are limited to basics. So this is not a watch for you.

(Otherwise a great watch for all sick of carrying a clunky smartphone.)
[Other SmartWatches] carvalhon:
Hi,

Tks for your answer. What do you mean by limited bluetooth capabilities, notifications aren't sent to the watch?

Tks
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
If you go to manufacturer's page you can read in the blog:

"Message:I'm not being able to accept or reject calls on my watch over bluetooth on an android phone but my brother with an iphone can. Is this a bug?

Reply:No, I think your brother has a tethering watch, so he has the option to accept or reject. But unfortunately, all Android watches can't support this feature."

Hi guys,

Can you please extract stock apps from no.1 D5/+ watch with APK Extractor and share it with others?

I have domino dm360, but the build in apps are not the best.

Please extract especially launcher and other apps for round screen. (launcher, messaging, fit app, maybe keyboard)

Thanks you very much.

Anybody know why the driver link NO.1 D5+ Official Firmware 20161226 is not working for download ?

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

Hello !

I have download NO.1 D5+ Official Firmware 20161124 (20161126 link not working) and then i use flash tool to install this frimware. Then i use OTA update it install to my watch 2 updates.

But my battery (everything i have off GPS - WiFi - Bluetooth etc everything) run out very fast i mean about every 20 hours about i have to recharge. What i have to do ?
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
Hi, I flashed firmware files packed in a folder with name "w612_wgl.d5.common.80.emmc.w.s.161226-172223" so I guess this was 20161126. I don't remember how I downloaded this firmware but it's still on my hard drive if you need it. But I guess It had to be available on manufacturer site.

My D5+ battery lasts longer I believe. I won't tell you exactly how long because when I use this watch I usually turn on GPS tracking/navigation so it eats battery much faster. The only thing I'm sure is that when everything except GSM module is turned off and phone fully charged and left for a night sleep (some 8 hours) - in the morning I see from 87% to 92%. This is about 8 hours sleep. GSM module is energy efficient and I use this watch as my main phone whenever I leave home. With some 2 hours of navigation/tracking (screen of course has to be off) I can make it through the day without charging. The biggest battery drain comes from mobile data. It can kill it in less than half an hour and phone gets really hot in the process. Wifi is fine.
[Other SmartWatches] imazehost:
can you upload somowhere your firmware because i can't find. about the battery. last night i charge it and now it's 07:00 it show me 85% this is too much because as i say before everything is off. no data no wifi nothing this is very bad
[Other SmartWatches] KilgoreT:
I've just checked and I see this firmware available on manufacturer's webpage. They use Google Drive:

Here:

http://en.001phone.cn/download-53.html

or here:

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B4Ay_s354RnceFRJb1VvVkp1YlU&export=download

(15% through the night is not bad - it gives you some 2% drop in every hour so battery should last 50 hours)
[Other SmartWatches] imazehost:
i will try this firmware and i hop. it will fix my battery problem. About the battery now its 15:00 and show me 43% i charge it last night at 00:00 15 hours its to fast to show me 43%

thanks for your help

After attempting to flash a new firmware, though it normally the flash was successful, my watch it's not open.

I tried reflashing the firmware and the sp flash tools it showed "brom error s_ft_enable_dram_fail (4032)"

I read a difference about unbrick mtk6580 but everything was for mobile with hardware button.

Although I tried I could not do anything.

Do you have any suggestions?
[Other SmartWatches] imazehost:
i have exactly the same problem. i flash the last firmware it work 2-3 days and then i dont know why the watch is black can't open. i try to reflash it but no luck what is wrong?

Download the correct firmware, and flash the firmware again.
[Other SmartWatches] michalis1961:
But, this firmware I downloaded and the flashed. However, many things I tried did not do anything. And I could not find anyone with the same problem to solve it.

The same problem is with other smart watch brands, but I have not found a solution
[Other SmartWatches] imazehost:
i have flash the right firmware but my watch looks brick and i cant do nothing :(
[Other SmartWatches] Cathy Hapka:
:confused:Did you figure out what's your D5+ version? W613 or w612? Download the correct firmware and flash it will help. Make sure you have select the firmware update.
[Other SmartWatches] imazehost:
my version is w612 and i have download this firmware 26 the 29 is for w613 i try to flash for w612 but flashtool dont have any respond and doesnt make any update or download or format i have try everything but my watch is black.
[Other SmartWatches] Cathy Hapka:
You need to download the correct firmware version, the w612 version.

Custom firmware for d5+

Hi guyz, I'm wondering is it possible since it's the same processor, to port android from KW88 watch? Newest released version is from the end of 2017, and in d5+ it's end of 2016. My friend have this smartwatch and I must say, it runs more smoothly, even with less RAM, menu is just cool, and bt calling works as well. Can anyone help me with port? I've already launched kw 88 system on d5+, so i think that this is possible, but the thing is that for now on bluetooth not working, screen is rotated 180 degrees and touchscreen works oppositionaly to the pressed place. So when you need to push down button you must tap on the top. I hope that some of hackers from here will be able to help :D. Cheers
[Other SmartWatches] Kignofpain:
Saw that on the Google plus community as I am in the market for a w812a+. Finow is the other one coming out with a "w812a+". Would you recommend waiting for one of the other manufacturers that still supports you guys with devices?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I am in the process of setting up a support plan for the X series watches.

Keep an eye on the community :) :good:
[Other SmartWatches] rebentador:
So, does that mean this watch won't be supported in this forum like the No.1 D5 was?

I have pre-ordered this watch, but i guess it's the best choice that i cancel that pre-order if the support and community development for it will be minimal. Am i right?
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
Thanks for their good job,I have gained a lot from this forum.:good:

It's a pity that they won't cooperate any more.:(

If I have any problem about my D6,I'll turn to their official website for help. :)
[Other SmartWatches] rebentador:
But, for example, anyone knows if we will be able to use the custom clock faces that already exists for the D5?

The thing i am affraid of the d5+ is of me buying the watch and then being limited to the stock watch faces for example. Anyone knows if we will be able to use the d5 custom watch faces in the d5+?
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
OF course.Although there are several firmware updated,but it is also a circle watch(not D6).These faces are generic.
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
Giveaway?:laugh:
[Other SmartWatches] rebentador:
Can anyone tell me if this one will have gps support?

A friend of mine told me he ordered the old d5, because this one did not have gps support?
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
Er.....GPS is a simple but important function.

The smartwatch manufacturers won't miss it.Of course the D5+ support GPS.

[Other SmartWatches] srmanuel:
is it possible to use watchfaces made for the moto 360 and similar ones or is it impossiboe due to not having android wear?
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
Sometimes happened to my D6. If the reboot can't solve it,maybe its screen has broken,or some water slip into it.
[Other SmartWatches] vandal_:
any words about availability? almost 2 months passed from the date of official presentation and still you can not buy them.
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
You can search it on ebay,gearbest ,etc,we don't add ads.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Get X3+ now !

Get the X3+ from here -

it's available now

just search for Finow Store on Google and is probably cheaper.

Exactly the same watch - except it has two buttons (actually nice as the lower one is a physical "back" button) and is supported on the round android watch forum:

Here is the new portal http://roundandroidwatches.proboards.com/

And here is the G+ portal https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109827242607524552712

The benefits of the forum support are custom recovery, full 24hr support, bug fixing and development.

We work directly with the manufacturer (in this case FINOW) which means we get firmware updates and problem solved much quicker than anywhere else.

Lastly - if you really prefer the single button style - the X1+ model (which is the D5+) will be released in a few days as well from the same guys.
[Other SmartWatches] photosmart:
Hi,

I am a bit confused.

I was planning to buy a no.1 d5+ and now after looking the finow x5+ I am not sure anymore.

Is there any important difference between these two or not?

Screen quality, size or build?

What would be your recommendation for me?

Everyone is free to comment.

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
The X5+ is not released yet. I think it will be another month before that comes along.

If you are wondering about the X3+ versus the D5+ it's simple. The only difference is the extra button and a slightly different strap. Inside the cover they are exactly the same.
[Other SmartWatches] skid:
D5+ - battery life is terrible ....

Fully charged last night and 4 hours later there is only 40% left - and power saving is on with NO BT, WIFI connections either!!!
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
That's a shame - it shouldn't be that bad. My X3+ lasts a couple of days with 3g enabled.....

Basically the same watch under the hood.....
[Other SmartWatches] skid:

Maybe there is/will be an update to fix - or do I need to turn anything else off?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
The latest FW is on their site
[Other SmartWatches] skid:
Doing OTA updates now - 20160915 and then 20160923 ... I have the FW as well just in case I need to do it manually!
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
HAHA,you must have read some thread about failing to update via OTA.

Good,that's comprehensive to do that.
[Other SmartWatches] skid:
Battery fixed!

Now that the FW updates are both on 18 hours after the last charge I still have 60% left - RESULT!! Guess they rushed to get the watch out and don't think there are many owners yet so the problem has not been reported.
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
And then finally complaints arrived,the new firmware released. ;)

Like Samsung and other manufacturers do.
[Other SmartWatches] farsight73:
Just got the watch today.. D5+. Does it stay sleep if we flip it up from our wrist..?
[Other SmartWatches] akslow:
What about display type:

X3 - AMOLED

D5+ - IPS

I gonna wait for AMOLED display with memory and CPU like in D5+.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
D5+ and X3+ both have lcd, not amoled. If you want amoled you should wait for the X5+
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
There is always a setting on smartwatch called'auto wake-up' or something.

You can set it for your type.
[Other SmartWatches] farsight73:
I encountered another rather confusing issue here..

My D5+ bluetooth connects with my phone with no problem.

But what is that other Watch-NC at the bottom is?

Trying to touch it, and it try to connect but ends up with error "Couldn't pair with bla-bla-bla because of an incorrect PIN or passkey.”

Edit:

2nd question..

Does the attached picture compatible to our D5+ charging cable??
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
The first question, 'the watch-NC'is the D5+ display for BT searching for IOS.

NO.1 samrtwatch have separated some settings or apps from IOS .

Second,nope,my D6 is rectangular so the charger is straight while the D5+ is a circle one and its charger must be bent.
[Other SmartWatches] DAVID5321:
D5

Hi I have the clock D5

Today update made their way to the device

Since the device does not turn on me, not working at all

Even I am trying to revise their version through the computer I can not do anything

It really ruined my watch I have no response from him at all

How do we solve the problem
[Other SmartWatches] Smith 001:
Do you mean you failed to update it?And now you can't even turn on it?

I think your problem is a failure of OTA update,just download the firmware,try a wired flash.

Download here:http://en.001phone.cn/download-39.html

I know there is a tutorial,you can search it on this web.
[Other SmartWatches] gabrielizi:
Hi i have the same problem on my D5+, i did the OTA update "20160923" but the problem persist.

I tried to bypass the issue by putting a code on the lock-screen and see if im asked to enter the code to unlock but instead i still have black screen.
