hard to answer as people use their devices differently.

But I get 2 days on a full charge with light/normal use, however I work from home, so only have WiFi on airplane mode on as I don't need calls at home, general use is checking messages, social media, a few video's etc

Hi, I just received mine and am in mixed mood state.

The watch has improved compare to the original model except the screen (240x240) and thickness but the software seems unfinished.

Some bugs are really embarrassing and I hope we will get some updates :

- Sometimes Wifi disconnect and I must reboot my net box to get it work again ! It could be related to the "NVRAM WARNING" problem (Wifi connections list)

- Phone is working but I am unable to connect in 4G/3G (France) and to set any network parameters.

- Push notifications dont come to the watch.

Did someone get rooting this device ?

Sry for my English !

So why does mine call itself the m1 mintt when its clearly a q1 pro? Also has anyone else experienced the problem where their watch is stuck in military time no matter what setting it is in and how to fix this?

I got an m1 mint also and yes how do we fix the watchfaces always showing military time even if you turned off 24 hour time in time and date settings.

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Mine is also a M1 mintt and yes the watch faces are stuck in military time even if you turned off the 24 hour time in time and date settings. Any fix?

The really positive thing i can say about the q1 pro is that it gets better 2g signals than both my galaxy s7 edge, galaxy s5 and even the other phones used by other people in my house. After all the sadness with its tiny low res and somewhat dim screen, the great signal reception and the water proofing (i drive a scooter in a tropical country known for its really heavy rainy season) is the only consolation i got over the fact that the seller of the lem4 pro at lazada wont fulfill my order and i got this cheaper q1 pro

to be root is possible :

- use Q1PRO_TWRP & Patched Boot Image

- flash with update.zip with twrp

Whenever I try fastboot oem unlock it just seems to hang. This is whether or not I have enabled/disabled the "allow oem unlocking" developer menu item.

Anyone know how to get past this?

The Q1 pro and M1 are the exact same hardware. I was able to successfully load the full Q1 firmware to the M1 convert it. OTA update and everything works.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

Oem unlocking requires a patched bootloader. The OEM one requires pressing the volume key to unlock and they are not mapped in the stock bootloader, you can't see this as the screen is black in bootloader too. I was able to NOP the keypress validation and skip straight to the OEM unlock in a patched bootloader. I have been extremely busy IRL with work lately but will try to upload the patched bootloader I made with directions soon.

Hi, fastboot/ twrp rooting seems to be dead end for now.

Fastboot mode doesn't work properly.

You can root using SP flash tool 5.1836* on PC.

It works for me on 1.5 firmware.

Get scatter file from original firmware (Finow Q1 PRO 1.1).

Install latest Magisk Manager (now - 6.0.1) on watch

On PC - readback original boot.img (addr - 0x1d80000 , size - 0x1000000)

On watch - patch it with Magisk Manager "install" button.

On PC - download patch_boot.img using scatter file (download only, don't use any format options).

Reboot, you are rooted now.

To see "grant" button - adb shell wm size 320x320, then revert back - adb shell wm size 240x240

SPFT note: Disconnect watch, if it is connected. You need to press button, then connect watch.

Android 8 and bluetooth 4.1

Hi all, I've got two questions.

1. Is it possible to upgrade android version from current 6.0 to 8.0, and how is this done ?

2. Is it possible to upgrade the bluetooth from current 4.0 to 4.1? I suspect this is rather hardware dependent than software but am not sure.

Thanx!

I also hope to find Rom of Android 7 or 8 for this Finowatch Q1 Pro, so to save more power and use longer time, but as I know there is none in the market.

The only custom Rom you can find is a Android 6 (LineageOS), but it is not a mature version.

I guess this watch has passed its peak season, so I think no more people will put effort to develope a Rom for it.

I am ok to use stock Rom with tweaking, but I turn on 3G normally for longer run time, and just use 4G in special moment.

BT is decided by hardware.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Sorry I just have time to give brief guide. Please Google for details:

1. In Android, Enable Developer Mode => Enable ADB for USB Connection

2. Connect Android & PC

3. In PC, install Google's Android Studio => Can now run ADB Commands:

$ adb shell

$ wm density 72 (To resume original setting, you can change this to 240)

$ exit

$ adb reboot

Screen protector / watch cover

We use this watch for monitoring our son's blood sugar level (as a part of a CGM). He is 10 year old and we just ordered our third Q1 pro after 2 got broken (yes he is a kid, but Q1 is fragile).

Has anyone found a screen protector / watch cover that fits?

YES I have both Q1 and Q1 PRO the original had not camera and smaller battery and looked like an apple watch clone with lollipop android, the pro looks less so like an apple watch has video calling and 4g in UK and ip67 water resistant rubber seals etc both work with most main stream full android apps with one exception google assistant as resolution is too low.

but i would still recommend both but not quite as daily drivers because of the battery size maybe next year...

Finow Q1 Pro xdrip

What is your firmware version and what are your xdrip settings and xdrip version. I have tested it for few days and received nearly 100% capture rate for Dexcom G6. As of yesterday it stop working and the BG readings are done only every 10 minutes or no readings at all. Usual restarts of the watch doesn't solve the problem. After few hours of such state, watch automatically picks up connections and everything is working without problems.

Some useful apps for Q1 Pro

Hi folks,

Sharing my two cents on setting up this watch. Having followed the valuable hints from [MENTION=580959]patwwh[/MENTION], I've expanded my watch with the following:

Status bar

I've replaced the 'Material Notifications Shade' app which stopped working all of the sudden and is no longer available on play store with AntTek Quick Settings app from AntTek – gets quick toggle settings on swipe down... free, no ads, simple.

Notifications

- Recent Notification from LibApps as a widget in Nova Launcher.

Volume settings

- Slider Widget - Volumes from hinterhofapps. Using it as a widget in Nova Launcher.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

I have updated the firmware about 2 months ago so it must be the latest. Our Q1 Pro is currently broken, waiting for a new one to arrive. We use Xdrip with miaomiao+FSB so not familiar with G5. did you try the Bluetooth settings menu of Xdrip (settings->less common settings)?

BTW If anyone cares, I ended up buying this watch protector

General help needed and issues

Hi everyone, I've just received my Q1 Pro and having some issues (or maybe they are limitations of the watch) -

I have NOT put a SIM card in the watch - I want to use the watch as an extension of my mobile phone.

-BT pairs in standard Android settings but won't stay connected. I have downloaded the BT helper app to my phone and it appears connected but, whilst I am ABLE to see notifications on the watch of calls and messages, I am UNABLE to respond to them or answer calls via the watch. Is this normal?

- The watch doesn't light up on movement, I have to press the button - Is this normal? My GF's smartwatch was half the price and has this feature.

- The pedometer seems to have a mind of its own. This morning it shows 1200 steps. I check later and it says about 400 steps, now it says 1500. Does it get confused?

- Although I elected to share my contacts with the watch from my phone when pairing - they are not there. Is this normal?

-When I click on "location" I get a QR code, I scanned this with my phone and downloaded an app called "Beehome" - I have created an account however this app is difficult to understand - any recommendations or tips?

Sorry for all the questions however from repeated google searches, this seems to be the only place talking about the use of this watch. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Finow Watch square Q1 Pro

Last month bought this watch and the manual states it is Q1 Pro but about watch shows Q1 1.1. OTA upgrade states that I have the latest. Can some one give me a link for the upgarde to 1.2 please? Bluetooth helper paired with my Samsung Tablet, is very limited in use, since notifications do not get sent to tablet. I am not worried about that but want fitness data saved and stored in the tablet, which could be used statitically. Program like fitrun does get the data from smart watches but not for Q1 Pro, which has accessibility stored in the tablet. Any app that is similar to Fitrun compatible with Finow Q1 Pro?

Nobody mentions anything about wakeup on wrist gestures for this watch.

Now I have to push a button just to see the time. I had an old casio didital watch years ago that turned the back light on automatically. This watch has an accelero meter so it should be able to do this. But for me there is not settings/gestures option.

But it is android even though it does not seem to be android wear what is on the phone. (but it must be because it has a "face plate"?)

Is there any application or any other way to make my display turn on when I look at it?

Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] Hans de Groot:
Me again. Because I really do not know where to turn.

Bluetooth is not working between my phone (android 4.4) or tablet (android 6) but my bluetooth keyboard works so at least I can get some input into the watch. So bluetooth is not 100% not working. I did manage te connect 2 times. but every time I have to reboot the phone.

But is seems that you do not need the android wear software on the phone anyway since the one time google wear connected it just wanted me to install the google apk. This android wear software for on your phone is just to control very dumb smartwatches that do not run android at all?

I was so stupid to think that I could collect all kinds of info from my watch (ie step counter and heartbead/bloodpressure?) measured non stop to an android app om my phone so I can check on my what whats going on.

Next I tried to find an extra faceplate for my android smart watch. But how does that work? I need to install aan apk from the play store? Well I tried "Watch Face Z02 Android Wear" and when I run it it complain that android wear is not installed. I tried an other one but that does not open at all.

So how do you get extra faces for the finow q1 pro? I want one that shows new messages , time , battery level , steps , which wifi I am on. you know like information not just the time and date.

Does any one know of a vnc like tool so I can manage my watch from my pc? I really have a lot of trouble reading those small letters.

Well.

Oficial Firmware for Finow Q1 Pro smartwatch

Hi LServ.

If you still have the firmware sent by Miss Lin, can you share it either on Mega or Google drive, because the link that she sent, I cannot download anything.~

I have some how messed up the SW because the battery was dying fast, and just purchased the watch, so I decided to close some programs/apps, and also by mistake closed the facewatch, and now cannot enter the watches settings to tur it back on.

So have no way of factory settings by the watches settings, only by SP flash tool and scatter file.

If you have it, kindly upload on different server.

Best regards.

Boas LServ.

Será possível enviares o firmware para o Finow Q1 Pro que a Miss Lin the enviou, porque não consigo descarregar pelo link que partilhastes.

Se puderes enviar/carregar para o Mega ou Google drive ou outro servidor para que possas me enviar o link para eu efetuar o download?

Fiz asneira em desligar apps para poupar energia, e acabei por desativar também o facewatch, e agora nãp tenho acesso a nada no relógio.

Só com firmware original oficial e SPflash poderei recuperar o relógio.

Se tiveres ainda o firmware, e puderes efetuar upload ou no Mega ou outro servidor e partilhares o link para download visto que não consigo download através do link QQ que a Miss Lin the envio e partilhastes aqui.

Grab the stock firmware linked somewhere in this thread and patch the boot image using magisk.

Then just flash the boot image using SP flash tool.

I think twrp recovery is linked to this thread as well so you can flash both using download only mode. You only flash these images. Not the whole firmware.

You can ask finow support about IMEI.

But the nvram error in Wi-Fi is due to losing persistent Wi-Fi Mac address.

You can fix it using the tool you mentioned BUT the tool must be up to date and you must have the MTK drivers installed.

Which you must have already.

You will need to update the tool though and use it with watch powered off. Similar to flash tool.

What can you do with the watch. Im unable to do nothing with the watch
[Other SmartWatches] patwwh:
I bought this watch because of its great mechanical engineering (i.e. appearance), but its software engineering is really not mature.

1. Notification is unified controlled under its official launcher, but its notification tab is malfunction. As a result, all reminders from calendar, sms, .... won't be pop-up! What a disaster !!

2. Its gas pressure gauge app is malfunction.

N.B. I reported these bugs via its retailer, and today I receive the Online Update. However, during update, it crashed, and the notification tab and gas pressure gauge have been removed without updated version installed yet. A further disaster ! I am now looking for an offline update pack, or a full rom, for solve these problems.

3. The pull-down menu is controlled by its official launcher. So if you install your own launcher, you won't get pull-down menu!

4. Like other Chinese mobile and watch. This is not a real International Rom. It support Google Play, but quite a lot Settings have been removed, e.g. Permission, Factory-Reset, ..... Tweaks are needed.

5. If your tweaking conflict with its abnormal control, the GUI will keep going backward in each few seconds. Very annoying and irreversible !
