Now, my biggest problem, was the Bluetooth of this watch, every time I received or made a call, from my bluetooth car system, the sound of the person, only came from the watch, not from the sound car column

And, I already test it, in 3 different Bluetooth car system, all original from these cars, and nobody works fine.

And, this form me is very import, because almost the time I used this watch in the car.

Because that, and because the factory don`t fix this and other problems, I`m go return and ask for my money.

It`s too much money, for all this problems, don`t you agree?

Hi,

I have a problem in my Q1 Pro, I inserted sim card, i can call and sms, but when i want add APN , showing this message and i cannot add or edit APN and i cannot use cellular net on my watch

message: Access point name settings are not available for this user

can anyone help me about this?
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
Thanks for your advices AKinsella, I do like round watches too but what I wouldn't do no matter what is to preorder it, I don't want to be the first one testing it. That Zeblaze thor 4 looks great, the Lemfo Lem 7 too, but I'll just wait until they are more mature. Untill then, I will try that Microwear H5 since it is really cheap (less than 60€) and I don't know why but Microwear gives me a better feeling than the rest. I hope I have better luck than you with this H5. I really appreciate your warning though.
[Other SmartWatches] AKinsella1:
No problems but if price is a factor please check out the microwear H2 smartwatch it won best smartwatch for 2017 you won;t regret it. And it comes with bluetooth calling app. Massive battery life. And much better than the H5 in every way.
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
Price wasn't really a problem, it's just that I couldn't find anything better (for me) having been properly tested. I thought about the H2 but it comes with one of those magnetic chargers without even being waterproof and the H5 is micro-usb. And then it is when I take the price into consideration, I decided to pay 60€ for the H5 rather than 73€ for the H2 and just use it until I see one of those in the next Android 7 generation becoming mature. If the H5 dies, I will return it asap.

One thing I dislike from the new Android 7 ones is that it seems they want us to carry a huge battery bank like the Lemfo Lem 7 so we will have to worry about two batteries... I hope they change their mind. Furthermore, they didn't make the screen to fill all the round space, you have a huge black bar around the screen and the straps are not removable... I'm not sure if they are really listening to their buyers.
[Other SmartWatches] Mahdi1944:
anyone can provide twrp or any way to root?
[Other SmartWatches] selimsagol:
AKinsella thank you very much for sharing. I installed the apps that you have mentioned and the watch works like a charm. Whatsapp notifications are working wonderfull. I can't understand why the call notification is not working. I also tried other caller apps like trucaller, simplecaller etc. but didn't work out.

The black bar on the apps is a downer. I think it wasn't there before the Square Launcher and Notification Shade. I didn't have an issue before. And also I didn't see that weird yellow notification screen before the installations. Can't we fix this by just disableing the stock notification app?(I don't know how to make it)

And also what can we do about the lock screen, can we add any watchfaces or something with this launcher?

I bought this watch for my child and I am using Life360, it also works like a charm.

There is a disappointment for me about the 3G Video Calls. This watch is unable to do so. In Turkey 3G Video Calls are priced same as the Voice Calls. No data plan, no nothing. But unfortunately this watch can't receive or send any 3G video call.

Other than that, I love the watch, the battery life is fair. I just need some screen protectors, if we can find any from china?
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
I think that black bar has always been there in my Q1 Pro, even before installing Square or Nova Launcher and Notifications Shade. I have found an app called "GMD Immersive" which can be used to temporary hide that black bar (notifications bar) but I haven't played enough with this app.
[Other SmartWatches] Glodigit:
I just got a notification about an update -which I installed - and it seems Finow fixed the black bar issue. I looked in a bunch of apps and it's gone. Can't confirm it's fixed across the board (I only have 1 Q1 after all), but I'm happy because it's like "a room without a roof!"

Also has anyone used Greenify for slower battery consumption? (thread tl;dr :p)
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
Have you tried turning it on with a SIM card installed? It seems it goes black at the "Enter PIN" screen.

Thanks for the Greenify app suggestion, I'll give it a try.
[Other SmartWatches] Glodigit:
I've had a SIM in mine since the day it arrived. I've never used a SIM pin though, so I've never seen the "Enter PIN" screen.
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
If you install that SIM into another Android device, will you be asked to enter a PIN code or the only one not asking for it is the Q1 Pro?

All the SIM cards I've had until today have always asked me for a PIN, even the Q1 Pro.

You are lucky then, I wonder if it would be possible to skip entering the PIN code...

Edit: Fixed, I could disable the PIN request using a mobile phone.

I also tried to enable a lock screen (by patron) and that black screen appeared again even though I hadn't any SIM card installed so I was unable to use the watch anymore. I had to flash the ROM again.
[Other SmartWatches] Jota20:
Hi, Can anyone upload Q1 pro last update? Link broken :D

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Recently I have problems with my Q1 pro. With sim card out, works correct (no missed calls) but with sim card in, the screen goes black after 1 or 2 s, and I can´t do anything (pin screen??)

Actual firmware Q1 pro V1.1, i´m going to try to update to V1.2 ....
[Other SmartWatches] linasjak:
Does Q1 pro vibrate on notification?

Can you run Google calendar on it?
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
Yes, it vibrates on notifications.

I haven't tried Google Calendar but some other apps from Google worked fine for me (Translate, Fit, Maps...)

I would stay away from the Q1 Pro (extremely buggy software and horrible screen, it is very difficult to see something in a sunny day), there are much better options out there.
[Other SmartWatches] galaxys:
What do you recommend rectangular, Android, sim, etc.?
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
I would recommend the Microwear H5 (Android 6) if you really need it to be square. It has a really nice battery life, loud microphone and speaker (useful for phone calls, voice recognition...), 4G in capable areas, extremely bright and responsible screen and micro-usb charging port. It is far more easy to use the keyboard than any other Android square watch I had (the Q1 pro was almost unusable) but they are all very small so it is always difficult. I usually write using voice recognition. You can take a look at some nice reviews in youtube.

But if you also like round smartwatches, the Microwear H2 is now more or less at the same price and it is widely known to be quite reliable and has an amazing battery life. There is an option that allows you to also use it in square mode. I think Microwear H2 runs Android 5.1, which is the only downside I can think of (along with the non-standard charger). There are also some other round watches running Android 7.0 like Zeblaze Thor 4 or Lemfo Lem 7 but they are extremely new technology and it's not my cup of tea buying the latest stuff... but they seem to be nice.
[Other SmartWatches] Glodigit:
Does anyone else use Watch Keyboard 2 on their watches. It's the most reliable one I can type on. Not sure why it's so hard to find on the Play store. Fun fact: this is a reason why I refuse to go to circular watches until one that is larger than 1.5" exists.
[Other SmartWatches] bantig:
Hello

My Q1 Pro don't work (black screen after a charge). Can you upload the last firmware or tell me how unbrick my watch ?
[Other SmartWatches] LServ:
I have my Q1 Pro, with the last firmware who update from OTA (Q1 Pro-V1.1), but it have the same issues, from the past:

- It don`t show any missing calls;

- I can`t connect well with several bluetooth cars systems (from difference brands), only connects the microphone, the output sound came as equal from the watch;

So, I don`t understand, why my last firmware arrived at 2 weeks and it was the version 1.1, and you have the version 1.2?

Maybe that version, was not well tested...
[Other SmartWatches] AKinsella1:
Patwwh : Buttom Mapping: I haven't rooted this watch, and I cannot assign actions like double click for any button, by any Non-Root method or apps.

You might of missed this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irishin.buttonsremapper&hl=en_AU Long hold instead of double click/. Or double click paid version $1
[Other SmartWatches] patwwh:
I knew that app, but it is not effective for Q1 Pro.

If you can make it work, please tell me.
[Other SmartWatches] AKinsella1:
Button Remapper is non root and works fine on the q1 pro. Just have a good play around with it and you will get it to work:) If you continue to have problem I can post a step by step guide.
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
I tried density 72 as you suggested and I was able to install the GoPro app which I couldn't make it work before because it wouldn't fit into the screen. The problem now is that 72 dpi makes everything tiny... Do you have any other (bigger) dpi suggestion to try on this watch?

ADB command to reset density to its default: wm density reset

Thanks for taking the time to share your configuration with us.
[Other SmartWatches] patwwh:
During setup period, using 72dpi and smallest font will allow you to show most options.

After setup period, you may also change dpi back to 120 with smallest or normal font size. But I will just change font size to largest, so that I can easily switch the font size back to smallest whenever needed, without linked to PC for adb command (dpi).

Remarks: If convenience is much more important than beautiful GUI, I would really suggest you to use Nova launcher, instead of SquareHome 2, since the button of latter is really too small. I always need to triple clicks to magnify the buttons whenever I need to change its setting.
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
I always use Nova Launcher.

I will try that, thanks again for your help.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
To be honest I find that using the Chrome plugin - Vysor is the best way to set up or adjust the watches.

As long as you enable USB debugging in watch settings / about watch - it's very easy to use.

I find that menu access is much easier using this.
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
I agree, I also do it that way. Btw, there is a standalone Vysor app for Windows too.
[Other SmartWatches] mutanda:
Hi, I just flashed that firmware with Flash tools for Linux and I find out thata it is the same as latest OTA update...

Version 1.1 of 29/05/2018

... so in this firmware there is nothing more than changing the boot logo from Finow to Android.:D

Version 1.1 of 29/05/2018, this is the latest firmware.

Have a good day.

Really best watch watch for this price but really horrible software!!

Waiting for new firmware...

My solutions was:

-Touch Screen repair app - for screen sensibility,

-Perfect Keyboard , t9 compact and best keyboard in my opinion, cause has predictive words in many languages

-Big Launcher wearable for launcher, big buttons, and compete , suport widgets

-Material Notification Shader for status bar

-Button remaper for volume button

-27 watches faces

[Other SmartWatches] ULTRA01:
After a few days trial, a suitable contact sync module was found and installed finally. The resolution density of 90 was found good enough for getting the necessary icons not out of the screen. Touch screen accuracy improved by some calibrating apps. However I cannot find a solution for the problem of playing audio message in whatsapp. The green LED turned on, screen black out and no sound during play back. I think it was a problem with the proximity sensor. Anyone encounter the same problem? Do anyone have solution? Thank you very much.

It's terribly loud, everyone can hear the whole conversation if I'm not using headphones.
[Other SmartWatches] ULTRA01:
You may try a-volumn widget.

Sim Card issue

Hi,

got my watch last week and have a problem when I insert the sim card in germany. When I turn on the watch the boot sequence starts and the watchface appears for 1 sec and than the screen turns black and I can only reboot or shutdown the watch.

Without Sim card it works great. I've tried 3 different sim cards also from other provider very same result.

Any help is much appreciated as this is a birthday present and I would like to make sure it is working.

Thanks

Thomas

Using BBC iPlayer Radio for about one hour using bluetooth headphones drains about 20%. WiFi off, Location off, Bluetooth on, 4G on, Screen off...

I had the same problem using the latest firmware. I had to put that SIM card into another phone to disable the PIN request. Then, I just put it back into the Q1 Pro and it worked fine.

Second Charger

I'm looking at ordering the Q1 Pro. Does anyone know where to buy an additional charger, a web search turned up nothing. Can anyone confirm this watch works on 3G on AT&T in the USA, or any other USA carriers if not AT&T?
[Other SmartWatches] Zelgius:
The last time I asked Finow if I could purchase an additional charger they answered that straps are the only replacements they are selling at the moment. I wish they came back to regular micro-usb chargers... I hate these magnetic things.

About AT&T I have no idea since I'm in Europe, sorry.

Q1Pro Patched bootimage for Finow M9

[MENTION=6628720]stevea76[/MENTION]

I flashed your "Q1PRO_TWRP & Patched Boot Image" on my Finow M9 . Ithought it might work also on the MT6737m chipset .

It seems to work, SuperSU-App will be called to allow permission for some files.

But the bad thing: I have no back- and confirm- softbuttons anymore :( So, what's to do? Is it usefull to install one of your other OSs like Slim_OS_Q1.zip ? Or are you able to fix the boot.img for the M9?

Installing via TWRP is also not easy, because I see nearly nothing with this display-resolution.

For now, I thank you very much for the good work :good: , because these are good watches and I need for a special app a rooted watch;
[Other SmartWatches] stevea76:
[MENTION=9274633]heini33[/MENTION] If you have the stock boot.img for the M9 you can root it using magisk. Just follow the instructions here:

Hi everybody,

I just received my Q1 pro and I have a quick question for those who have the same. I executed aida64 and I see as brand and manufacturer 'E-Life' rather than 'Finow'. Is this normal or there are fake?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
It's normal to see different board maker details on this particular watch.

The thing is that these were not built by Finow. They were purchased as a solution for the Finow Q1 Pro body. They may come as many as 3 different factories.

As long as all the specs match up - it's probably perfectly fine.
[Other SmartWatches] marmer92:
ok, thanks a lot for your quick response, it reassures me

I got 2 Q1pro, one from finow and the other one from e life. I cannot see any different besides the watch build quality. The one from e life got poor quality that I don't think it could be water proof. I can see it deformed and hear "git git" sound when I press both side of the watch. The button ia not firm enough too. Other than that, they got same function.

I've got a Q1 Pro, how can I transfer files to it, bluetooth keeps on failing saying 'user cancelled transfer', no SD card slot, keyboard far too small for me to get play store or google working, took me most of the day to get wifi password in, did the 3 OTA updates, so am up to date, want to install some apk's (I want to turn it into a walking watch)
[Other SmartWatches] ULTRA01:
Same price from 2 different reseller. I just thought they were the same before I got my 2nd one. Anyway, I still happy with their function. I mean both of them.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Use VYSOR plug in for chrome.. On your pc.

Enable usb debugging on the watch and it will install from pc to the watch via usb.

Then you can control the watch from your pc.

For file transfer it is ok to connect usb and then change the usb connection setting on the watch to file transfer.

Hello,

sorry for my bad english, I´m from Germany.

I´ve got a problem with my Q1 pro.

When I call someone, I can understand him clearly, but the other person (with phone or cellphone) hears me very quietly and with an echo of himself, that sometimes drowns out what has been said. Same problem with What´s App -calls. The microfon works well, voice messages are much better understandable.

Does anyone else have this problem either?

Thank you!
[Other SmartWatches] mrrog:
is your 'mic' hole on the upper left side of the casing, or lower left side?

it should be on the lower left, and if not, this panel is easily prised off (at the ends) and reversed

if its already on the lower left side prise off the panel and look to see if there is a plastic cover on the 'mic' grill, if so you might want to remove or perforate, at the potential cost of waterproofing of course

Hi drellisdee, thanks for your sharing. In case you are going to build LineageOS etc., hope that you can consider as high version of Android as possible, because it will be more and more energy save.
