Mi-W2 smartwatch - Other SmartWatches

Hello all,
I bought a smart watch from here : http://www.banggood.com/MI-W2-Pedometer-Sync-Phonebook-SMS-Camera-Control-Bluetooth-Smart-Watch-For-Android-p-990272.html
I have several issues with this smart watch, and I need your help, guide.
The user manual inside the box is not for this watch. The application it suggests to use, can not even connect to it.
What the watch offers application, points to Podoor. The closest Podoor smart watch, based on look and feel is the PW305.
Problems with the watch: displays Fahrenheit, can not set it to celsius. Can not sync phonebook.
Further investigation:
Processor is MT6260A. In the menu it says model: SM-1 and Version: V0.6.
Questions: where can I find the latest firmware with Celsius? Do you have other guides, like how to backup the watch? Methods described with 6250 doesn't work: unknown flash_id.

Phone .apk can be downloaded from Mimi websitehttp://www.mimi-hk.com/download.php
the phonebook is pushed from the phone using that software. Joe's Tech Review http://joestechreview.ning.com/page/mi-w2-smartwatch uploaded firmware a while ago, I'd start looking there.

Based on that site, my smartwatch is a W2A, something translated as "adaptation watch" with firmware 0.6 and later. This application says Error: Not connect to SmartWatch! (connection according to BT settings and the watch itself is fine)
I tried the application for v0.5 watches just to be sure, same error message. Could be an issue with the watch itself?

I've only seen that error when the smartwatch software wasn't enabled in Settings>Accessibility on the phone.

This was the first thing I turned on after installing the app, after a reboot I am waiting for a replacement watch (same model), I will see if it has the same issue or not. I also tried it with another phone, running Android 5.0, same error.

I received my second smart watch. Same model, same errors. This is the look and feel of the only application capable to do at least something with it (it is offered by the watch itself) : http://imgur.com/OhzD1H0
It is capable to:
Find watch
Set weather city and send it to watch
Retrieve sport data from watch
If I click Camera, it says waiting for conformation forever. If I initiate it from watch, it works. Sync contacts doesn't work. I guess it also requires a confirmation on the watch, but no dialog is shown. And the weather data displayed in Fahrenheit, no way to set it to Celsius.
Any suggestions?

I noticed on the PCB an RX and TX pad. Connecting a serial module, it displays (115200 8-N-1 mode):
Code:
F1: 0000 0000

**===================================================**
Bye bye bootloader, jump to=0x100102d8

I extracted all the chip numbers from the PCB, hope it helps someone to identify the watch.
This is an uncompressed high resolution version: http://imgur.com/fQQxY12
Other side of the PCB says 1516 W2S_MBPCB_V3.0.

I found this apk: http://joestechreview.ning.com/page/new-apk-mi-w2
With this, pretty much everything works, but you have to initiate everything from the watch, like phonebook sync.
But I am afraid the watch is pretty much useless:
Sync is not really a sync, if you sync twice, you get all contacts 2 times
Temperature is only Fahrenheit
Voice quaility is terrible

GoClever Chronos Eco

Hi there!
I note at the outset that the device with which you want to mention is not provided with the software from under the sign of green android. But because it works very well with Android, it is worth to write about it.
That's exactly what it is: Goclever Chronos Eco.
Technical specification can be found here:
http://www.goclever.com/pl/produkty,c1/smartwear,c114/chronos-eco-smartwatch,a455.html
I bought this watch on Friday at a price: 40EUR
Currently testing the length of battery life.
Yesterday I had a software update to version 3.17.
I have read the whole topic of "WeloopTommy" and a total of everything repeats itself, they are the same device.
So far I am very happy with my purchase.
The watch is pretty decent run.
Declared by the manufacturer options work well.
Have also tested the water-tightness. All right after the tests.
Android app is also quite well done, although it could do with a few things to improve.
Link below some pictures of my watch immediately after purchase:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5GyBZSPVuA7dUEyQzllcW9fQjg&usp=sharing
Since the hardware is the same but the name is different, it adds about the linked subject that is already developed or "Weloop":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sma...s/weloop-tommy-smartwatch-looks-best-t2864444
Topic I add that people looking for the same name also could have a chance to read about the benefits of this equipment.
PS. If moderation deems it appropriate, please add it in the name of the theme Chronos Eco GoClever and merge threads.
I got mine tooday, they are very nice and solid BUT my phone keeps disconnecting so i cant even load watchfaces.
Still no link on that site to buy it. No mather what country i select.
Cause 40euro is okay.
No registration
I try to register to the android app but nothing happen.....?? The app work for some seconds and after return to the registration. I have a Moto X 2013
Watch face error
I have a GoClever eco. I installed the app, but when I try to change the watch face I cand look this pop-up : "Sync failed". What can I do ?

Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth LE Band Protocol reverse engineered!

Since there is no Forum for the Mi Band ...
After receiving my Mi Band yesterday I started digging inside the sourcecode of the Mi Band App to find out interesting stuff.
It works with all BLE device, not only Xiaomi ones
It uses an unsecure protocoll which can be reverse engineered, so you could build an API out of it or port it to other mobile OS.
I will update algorithms & the protocol asap, but there is already a lot of usefull stuff on the protocol inside my blog: http://allmydroids.blogspot.de/2014/12/xiaomi-mi-band-ble-protocol-reverse.html
If someone is interested in writing an API, contact me.
Great! But some questions:
1) when you say "I started digging inside the sourcecode" you mean the smali decompiled from the app apk, right? Or is there some open code I missed?
2) if we create an apk which exposes the API (for example via android intents) can it connect to the device at the same time with the original Mi app? Or is the pairing exclusive to an app so we have to hack the app itself (for example via an Xposed module)? (Note: I'm extremely ignorant about bluetooth LE).
Thank you!

Decompiled and looked at smali + java from smali (which skips stuff so make sure to check original smali, too)

We are currently developing a BLE app to a customer and I agree that it is horrible. Android has really messed up everything they could when it comes to BLE.
Other apps could access at the same time. Pairing is done through the Android not the app itself. Although it could be that the band itself limits this somehow. I will check that soon.
Awesome...I'm glad I found this. I just got my band and didn't realize it only worked with the app from XIAOMI. Very disappointed. Also, I can't even set mine up right now. I set up an account and when I go to sign in it says I have the wrong password! When I go to reset the password it has to SMS me a verification code and it NEVER COMES. Total waste.
I hope you guys get this working soon and we can use it with apps that won't send our data back to mainland China. Do you know if this will work with 'Sleep as Android'? That's what I got this for. I thought it was a basic bluetooth device, not some proprietary POS.

I uploaded a very first Android App today but it can do only very few things yet - but currently it doesn't do the setup. I don't know that app so I don't know if it can interact with other devices and if, how good. But the Miband can detect sleep phases (pretty good for me) and can wake you, so I guess it could be possible.

Ah you tried the .apk from /bin? Thats not working. You have to compile it. I will upload a working one when it has some more features.
Hello again,
downloaded and installed Android Studio. Compiled your project, all went quite smooth. Unfortunatly the app still does not quite work. Without the band close it quickly complains that there is no band around (good). With my miband close, it scans for ever (not good). Somehow it does not communicate with it.
The BLE Device Monitor detects it well.

Hi,
I tried the same actions. Seems problem with discovering.
According to google:
startLeScan: Added in API level 18 This method was deprecated in API level 21.
Changed API from default 21 to 18 - nothing has changed.
MI device is visible in other BLE apps, in Bluetooth settings as well. Original translated app working well.
Nexus 4, android 4.4.4
Android Studio 1.0.1
Regards,
Klym
yeah, I commented out the code that actually loads data. Will fix that.
Could you get the Mi Band to sync with Google Fit?

There is an api for Sleep as Android.
https://sites.google.com/site/sleepasandroid/doc/sleepcloud-api
How about accelerometer raw data or sleep data, is it available?
Hi,
i try to connect my miBand with my laptop.
I found this site with some source code:
https://bitbucket.org/OscarAcena/mibanda
I installed all dependencies and run this as sudo python miband.py:
Code:
from gattlib import DiscoveryService
service = DiscoveryService("hci0")
devices = service.discover(2)
for address, name in devices.items():
print("name: {}, address: {}".format(name, address))
But after 10 seconds, I get an empty result.
My hciconfig shows this:
Code:
[email protected]:~$ hciconfig
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB
BD Address: 00:C2:C6:59:91:73 ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8

Does anyone know, what to do?
I'd happily swing a few bucks for an app where it can link with google fit.

Well...
I just have a quick questions about the possible functionality of the MiBand and what has been discovered thus far. Can the LEDs be individually controlled? Also, I know you can dismiss an alarm by touching the MiBand, does it detect this touch through motion or is there a capacitive switch in the MiBand?
I don't know how much help I can be, but I'm just curious about the technologies that they've been able to pack into the band.

Seems there is no "touchpad", when needed (alarm and pairing) bracelet just detect vibrations from finger knocks.
Very likely it's internal firmware function and can't be accessed outside.
Also some advertising: useful additions for Mi Band
@motioncoding
Can you please tell me what Bluetooth profiles are supported by Mi Band ?
For this:
1. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone
2. There you will see the names of Bluetooth devices listed including the Mi Band
3. There will be a gear (or options) icon beside the name... tap on that and please post a screenshot of the screen that appears.
Thank You

LEMFO LEM1 Smart watch with Custom Band. Must See.

I brought the watch last week, the watch and band on amazon for $77. It works pretty good with my Huawei Mediapad X2 and my LG HBS-900 headset. It works pretty good with the headset set for phone bluetooth and the watch set for media bluetooth and contact sharing. Only problem is when both are enabled you cant answer the phone from the watch because phone is set for headset. But you will get notification who calls, emails, calendar, or anything you have enabled. You can use the application they provide with the scan or goto the playstore and download the mediatek smartdevice app. They are the same. Far as I know any of them are the same, I tested a few of them, they just have different names with the same exact layout. The mediatek will let you scan for firmware update. THey are selling it as a 320x320 but in the hardware details it is listed as 240x240, but thats cool, it is still clear and sharp. Just need more faces. I will find out how to add them. Some one the planet has to have modded the watch.
Here are some Pictures of the Watch

Hacking the Casio G-Shock GW-B5600 BLE

Hello all, this is my first post here!
In this article I will explain my method of hacking the Square G-Shocks that make use of a Bluetooth module (I have a GW-B5600, but it should theoretically work on the GMW-B5000 too) with the goal to create our own Android app that will allow to get info and set the watch via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) commands/requests.
The tools I am using are: (sorry no link I am too new)
nRF Connect for Android by Nordic Semiconductor from the Play Store
Wireshark desktop (Windows/Mac) from the official website
The official "G-Shock Connected" Android app from the Play Store
And adb that can be found in the Android platform tools (by default in "C:\Users\usrname\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools")
Your phone does not need to be rooted but needs the Developer options enabled.
1 Discover the services offered by the G-Shock
I am using nRF Connect installed from the Play Store to scan for BT devices.
Long-press the (C) (bottom left) button on the B5600 to enable BT on the watch.
Hit Scan in nRF and search for "CASIO GW-B5600" and tap it to show the following details:
Code:
Device BT Name: CASIO GW-B5600
Device BT Address: [B]EB:1C:FF:90:C2:34[/B]
Offered services: 0x1801 Generic Attribute
0x1800 Generic Access
0x2A00 (R) Device Name
0x2A01 (R) Appearance
0x1804 Tx Power
0x2A07 (R) Tx Power Level
0x26EB00 0D Unknown Service
(UUID 0x2902 for all)
[B]0x26EB002C (W*) Custom Service #2C[/B]
[B]0x26EB002D (NW) Custom Service #2D[/B]
0x26EB0023 (NW) Custom Service #23
0x26EB0024 (NW*)Custom Service #24
(R) is read only (W) write (W*) write no response (N) notify.
The important information has been set in bold: the BT address that we will use to analyze the packets, and the 2 services that I called #2C and #2D that are used by the official G-Shock app to get and set info from/to the watch.
2 Enable Bluetooth traces on the phone
After that, open the phone Developer options > Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log.
Or use the USB debugging mode, plug the phone to the computer and type the following command in a prompt:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure bluetooth_hci_log 1
To know where the BT traces will be stored, type the following command:
Code:
adb shell cat /etc/bluetooth/bt_stack.conf
and look at the line starting with 'BtSnoopFileName=' to locate the BT log files.
3 Capture BT activity and save the logs on computer
Install and run the "G-Shock Connected" app on your phone from the Play Store.
Do manipulations between the watch and the app, take note of the time you make them.
Then plug the phone and type:
Code:
adb pull /data/log/bt/btsnoop_hci*.log
Note: the place and name of the logs are for my Huawei Mate 10. You will need to adapt the path with the one you got at step 2.
4 Analyze the BT traces in Wireshark
Open Wireshark and drag and drop one of the "btsnoop_hci*.log" files pulled to the computer onto the program.
Add a filter on the G-Shock BT address we got from nRF Connect at step 1:
Code:
bluetooth.addr==EB:1C:FF:90:C2:34
And hit enter to see the BLE activity on the watch.
Now the fun (or the boring part, it depends ) begins... Understanding the BT requests/answers (get info) and BT commands (set info)!
In Wireshark, the important information for each BT frame are contained in the fields
Bluetooth Attribute Protocol > Handle > UUID
and in Bluetooth Attribute Protocol > Value
The very first -easiest- command I was able to identify is the one to Get and Set the Home City and the 5 World Time (WT) Cities.
When you analyse the BT packets, you can see the name of the cities written in all letters in the Value field:
Code:
0000 1f 01 48 4f ..HO
0010 4e 47 20 4b 4f 4e 47 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 NG KONG.........
We can observe that to GET the Home City, we send a Write command with the value 1F00 to the service 0x26EB002C (aka Custom Service #2C). In return, we will receive a notification through the service 0x26EB002D (aka Custom Service #2D) containing an echo of the Command ID (1F00) followed by the name of the Home City in upper-case (e.g. "PARIS").
To SET the Home City is just as easy: we send a Write request to the service 0x26EB002D (Custom Service #2D) with the value 1F00 followed by the name of the new Home City on 18 Bytes (e.g. "PARIS"), tailed with 0x00.
GETting and SETting the 5 World Time Cities is very similar: you only need to use the Command IDs 1F01 to 1F05...
The next command I reverse engineered is the one to set the date and time.
I started to search for the hexadecimal value "07 E4" in the traces (2020 in decimal = the current year). The search returned zero result... If finding a WORD (value encoded on 2 bytes) in big endian* fails, you gotta try searching it in little endian* so I did another search for "E4 07" this time, and bingo! It appears in a SET command starting with the ID 0x09.
* search Wikipedia for "Endianness"
The full structure of the binary value is:
Code:
([B]09[/B]) YYYY MM DD HH mm ss ?? ?? 01 ?? ?? is the milliseconds in big endian(?)
[B]Mon.13-JAN (15:54:10) traces[/B]
([B]09[/B]) E4 07 01 0D 0F 36 0B 01 F2 01 --> 2020-01-13 15:54:11 (,498?)
[B]Wed.15-JAN (15:29:27) traces[/B]
([B]09[/B]) E4 07 01 0F 0F 1D 1E 03 44 01 --> 2020-01-15 15:29:30 (,836?)
You can notice there's a difference in the trace timestamp and the time sent, respectively 1 second and 3 seconds. That is quite normal: I disabled the time synchronization in the watch settings, so the watch time can deviate from the atomic time by a few seconds (the user guide states a tolerance of +/- 15s per month average).
Hey, did you ever manage to get any further with this @mougino ? I've also got one of these watches, and have been playing around with the BLE connection to it. I've managed to successfully set the alarm times and on/off state – but so far haven't had any luck with setting the actual time. I tried writing with the op-code you suggested of 0x09, but it doesn't seem to actually do anything for me.
Up its interesting.
Hope somebody can help me. I'm having trouble getting/setting time on my Casio GW-B5600BC-2BJF. I can get and Set most other things like alarms, home city, etc using the #2D command (Characteristic: 26eb002d-b012-49a8-b1f8-394fb2032b0f), but when I try to set the time, it has no effect. The command does not complain, but does not change the time. Should I be using a different characteristic? Here are supported BLE services on my watch:

I was planning on having something running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W – I can program, but I've never made an Android app. My plan was to do something in Python, ideally having the Pi Zero running somewhere in my bedroom so that the Casio watch can do the time synchronisation at night. If I can get that working I'd also thought about setting some alarms and reminders for the day ahead, like maybe connect it to a calendar and put any important events into the reminders function of the watch, things that the existing Casio app can't do. An Android app would be a better way of doing this, but I figured I'd get it working in Python first since it's faster for me.
Ok, thanks for the info.
I more or less figured out how to set the time. It involves setting the DST for all world locations first. I guess makes sense, since the casio will update the time for all locations. I still don't understand some things so I will need to figure it out first, and I can share if you are interested.
I am working on an open source Android app to integrate the Casio watch with Google services on android, such as calendar and Alarm ckock. It will not replace the official app. I have been working on this app for about a month now, and got the alarms and now the time setting working. I think the callender integration will be the most challenging, since I don't know what the data means to Casio.
Currently the github is private, because it is WIP, but I will make it public when it is ready.
That would be very cool! I'll be happy to do some beta testing if you end up getting to that stage. Good luck!
@seanlano I have the basic app running, except for the reminders. If you like to try it, here is the github:
GitHub - izivkov/CasioGShockSmartSync
Contribute to izivkov/CasioGShockSmartSync development by creating an account on GitHub.

It is private, so not sure if you can access it, so let me know.
If you don't want to bother building the APK, I have put it on on my Google drive:
Google Drive: Sign-in
Access Google Drive with a Google account (for personal use) or Google Workspace account (for business use).
drive.google.com
I'm curious to see if for you the local time works properly, and the battery level is correct. Where are you located?
Of course, use at your own risk. It might screw up some settings on your watch. In that case, you may have to reset it like this:

Hey @izivkov, I tried it out and it seems to mostly work!
The time setting worked correctly (I made sure by manually setting the time to be very wrong, and your app brought it back to the correct time). The home time zone (Sydney) was correct too.
However, the battery level didn't work – the Casio app shows my watch at 100% but your app shows only maybe 20%.
The alarms worked well too, although I found that any time I set the alarms it turns off the hourly signal, and the app doesn't have a way to turn it back on (this isn't a big deal though, since it's only a couple of buttons to press on the watch).
Keep up the good work!

Hey, thanks for the feedback.
- I did not notice the hourly signal setting and will fix it. Possibly add a setting to the app to turn it on/off.
- For the battery level, I was not sure I was getting the right value, but for me seemed to be about right. Obviously, should look at other ways to set it.
- I'm working on Calendar events integration with Watch's reminders, and when I finish this and fix these issues you mentioned I will have another version and will let you know.
Cheers

Hay, thanks for starring my github. I moved the code to another repository: https://github.com/izivkov/CasioGShockPhoneSync, which is now public. Feel free to star the new one. ;-)
Basically, I added Google calendar event support, and fixed the issue with hourly chime getting reset. Still cannot figure out how the battery level is read. I get a value using command 0x28, but the value does not make sense. I get back something like 0x28 0x0f 0x17 0x00 for about 25% charged battery, and 0x28 0x13 0x19 0x00 for almost fully charged one. I think I will disable the battery icon until I can figure what is going on.
Anyway, adding some documentation now. Hope other people can contribute to this project and possibly support more watch models.
I'm a bit stuck. I'm trying to detect the difference between GW-B5600 long-press lower left button and short-press lower-right button as far at connection to the Android device is concerned. The app on the phone should be able to tell the difference, becase the official app acts differntly when the right button is pressed, i.e. sets the current location. This does not happen for left-button connection. But the data sent to the phone from the watch is identical. If somebody has figured this out, please let me know.
For those who are interested in how to communicate with the Casio G-Shock 5600 BT watches, here is the latest github I created:
GitHub - izivkov/CasioGShockSmartSync
Contribute to izivkov/CasioGShockSmartSync development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
And you can get the android app on PlayStore:
Casio G-Shock Smart Sync - Apps on Google Play
Add Smart functions to your Casio G-Shock Bluetooth (B5600, B5000, B2100) watch.
play.google.com
Enjoy
I've been working on a very similar app but for a slightly different Casio model. I'm not very familiar with the BLE and getting to a point where I'd happily pay someone for investigating the communication.
Would anyone be willing to figure it out?

Hammelo said:
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and wanted to join this discussion. I also recently got an android radio with hizpo's Qf001 built in. https://www.ebay.de/itm/394318953952
I have the following problems with the device: 1) The USB port on the front of the user is not working. However, the USB port for charging works.
2) I wanted to install FCC and create my own launcher. Unfortunately FCC doesn't start automatically and crashes after a while when I start it manually.
3) What I totally miss about the device is the GALA function, as well as Speed Volume Control. You can install the apps for it, but the device doesn't allow the apps to control the volume. I wrote to the seller on ebay and he sent me the following message
Dear Customer,
sorry for your trouble.
Please try updating the device and see if it can solve the problem.
The system firmware link:
https://jitufirmware1128.oss-eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com/update.zip

1.Download the two firmwares to your computer from the two links, they are <Update.zip> and <MCU.bin>, please do not unzip them.
2.Copy the <Update.zip> document to your Udisk root path. Copy the <MCU> document to your Udisk root path.
3.Connect your Udisk to our player, then follow Settings-General-System-Upgrade, and then it will update itself, please don't turn off the power during the upgrade. And the player will restart. This step takes about 6 minutes.
4. When you have finished upgrading the system, follow Settings-General-MCU-Upgrade - select the upgrade file - confirm and it will update itself. This step takes about 1 minute.
5.After you update everything, we also need to enable the Weather APK, please connect your cell phone wifi hotspot name as FYQP5QRG and YOU connect the player wifi to your cell phone hotspot, and then it will die Weather - Activate APK. If you are using an iPhone, please don't connect your iPhone to our player via Bluetooth before you enable Weather APK. This is very important. After enabling the Weather APK, you can connect your iPhone normally via Bluetooth.
6.The MCU upgrade may cause the touch screen and touch panel to work improperly. Please use your five fingers to touch the screen and enter calibration mode to adjust the touch screen. And regarding the touch panel, please follow the steps Settings-Factory-8888-OK-Touch-Learn button, this way YOU can set it right.
7.After the upgrade, you need to set the correct CANBUS type. If your car has CANBUS system, please follow the steps Settings-Factory-8888 ok-Car-Model
8. Firmware upgrade may cause the Carletter APK not to ACTIVATE. Please take a photo of the QR code and send it to us, we will activate it for you.

Hi good people,
I have the S4 version (Ossuret) running on 20221126. Does anyone know whether there is a newer version for the S4? Also, is there a list of the changes when you update to a newer version? I see in this thread some firmware update links, but what are they exactly adding/removing/changing?
And does personal data such as downloaded apps get removed when updating the firmware?
Thanks!
