Hi all,
I finally decided to go for the Finow X5 plus after reading you a lot, I thought AMOLED display was worthy, and it is.
I've spend 1 week with it and I have some "difficulties" , most on software part.
-I cannot pair the watch with my S7 Edge via bluetooth, I just can only tethering internet connection, but not pairing in order to get notifications.
I've tried every single app you recomend in other threads but the thing is devices can't be paired if is not for tethering, in connection"/Bluetooth I see my phone, I click on it but it does nothing,I need to click on the right side nut to set the tethering to connect...has anyone faced this issue before?
-Menu distribution is such a pain, to get the apps icon you need to scroll 5 times, not handy at all. I decided to install Nova Launcher, it works great, also de gestures are very usefull, but when using it ".vxp" watchface cannot be displayed and a clockwidget needs to be used as watchface. Is there any way to have Nova Launcher working in background so gestures still work while displaying ".vxp" watchface? that would solve a lot of daily use issues this firmware has.
Thanks for your replies
Can you tell me if the GPS in it is good outside? Mainly walking/running?

I haven't tried it yet, I'll reply to you when I do, hopefuly tomorrow
EDIT: I've used it today in the country side and GPS worked well, good signal all day waearing it on my wrist.
I have one question regarding FINOW X5 Plus.
Is it waterproof? Or just IP55/54?
I can`t find this info...
To connect to your smartphone you need to download app. You may easily find link to this application by selecting "Watch helper" app on your smartwatch and on the bottom is QR code with this link (tip: click it to enlarge).
Next, you need to enable Bluetooth both on your smartwatch and phone. Next, try to pair both devices. You'll propably see verification code, select "Pair" option.
You cannot pair your watch from bluetooth menu, so please open Watch Helper app, click "Select device" and click your watch on the list (propably mentioned as "X5 Plus"). Now youre connected to your smartwatch

Hello Friend, how are you ?
I have an X5 plus that came with GPS problem (which finds satellites but does not set). It is probably the NVRAM.bin file that has a problem.. Can you send me a copy?
I already asked the file for Finow, but unfortunately there is no support, no one answers.
If you can help me, I'll explain how to copy the file.
can you help me ? Thank you

Have you tried a factory reset by recovery? With the clock off, hold down the power button + down button, when the finow logo appears, release the power button and continue holding the down button. You will enter the recovery screen. Using the physical buttons, go to clear emmc and confirm with the power button. This will erase all data from your smartwatch.

I use M2D bluetooth manager, M2D sender (on phone) and M2D receiver (on watch). It works great.
---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------
Dear sirs,
1. Is it normal that battery last only about 8-9 hours although I have put on flight mode and only enabled Bluetooth for notifications from my phone.
2. On X5 plus, how can I check what applications are draining the battery life? It shows the battery percentage only. (X5 can see but not in X5 plus)
3. How can I find more of the different watch styles and download to use?
4. Its a pain in the butt to scroll to the Apps or Settings page each time. I have tried using the floating accessibility ball or such but significantly drained the battery. Are there any other shortcuts button/launcher for round watch available?
5. Google map, how can I zoom out after zooming in?
Thanks a lot.
Finow x5 plus Smart watch suddenly stopped and will not turn on. Please help
The wacht suddenly stopped and the screen is Black. No image when starting the watch. Even connection on pc with USB will not response. Pushing buttons gives no action. Does someone has an idea how to restart the watch

Hi guys,
I had a look for such a discussion but did not find sucha thread. I have the Chinese Rwatch M26 smart watch and iPhone 5 with iOS 8. Is it possible somehow to connect it to my device and get the push notifications on screen for messages, Facebook, email, etc. It works with Android phone, tested, but is there a way to do this with an iOS device? Currently I can only dial, take calls and that's it basically.
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies!
Do you have any idea? I found some apps which say they send all the notifications to a bluetooth device but do not seem to work.
Heard it is possible to get m26 to work with ios. I believe you need to jailbreak then go to Cydia. There you will find app to push notifications. Forgot name of app
Hi there, thanks for the reply.
Yes, I found BTNotificationEnabler on Cydia, but it does not seem to work with iOS 8. The menus are different and the Bluetooth options do not appear anywhere... Ano other options for an app which does this?
Best,
Rangel
Connect iPhone and RWatch M26
Hi, you need to install SmartBluePlus from the App Store and connect your phone with that app.
When you connect, it asks you to pair. When this succeeds you will get notifications you also get on you iPhone's lock screen. Good luck
I need help!! I bought a M26 Rwatch... When I plug it in to charge it keeps saying "charging error" and won't charge anymore.. Does anyone have any ideas??

Hi I've downloaded the Smartblue and Smart blue plus from the App Store and neither identifies my watch. Any suggested apps that will actually connect. I can make and receive calls but that's it. I even downloaded the btnotifier and nothing worked.
Thanking you for your suggestions/ help in advance.
Hi, I'm looking for a cheap smart watch and i have found this one. There's not much info about it on Google..
"Smart Watch A9"
Someone can give me a opinion ? Thanks.
Sorry, XDA dont allow me to post links , there's some info about it ... aliexpress . com / store/product/Heart-Rate-Monitoring-A9-Wrist-Wearable-Digital-Bluetooth-Smart-Watch-Devices-for-Samsung-LG-Android-Phone/1085663_32383810547.html?storeId=1085663
Bump. Anyone ?
I just received my A9 yesterday, and it is a pretty good product. All notifications work well with my Note 4. Callers can hear me loud and clear when in phone mode. The 240x240 screen resolution, although not 320x320 or higher like name brand models, is better than I expected. The UI is user friendly and easy to navigate. The heart rate moniter works, but I have not compared it to traditional heart rate devices/instruments, so I can't speak on the accuracy. The "lost device" feature works as well. Since I find myself walking away from my phone a lot when I'm home, I usually disable that feature because notification on the watch becomes quite annoying. I purchased mine from a popular Chinese distributor for $56 with free shipping. It took 3 weeks to arrive, but it was worth the price and the wait. Overall, it's a good buy. Anyone not sure about buying the A9, I say go for it.
It is a good smartwatch, enough some updating. how you can update the firmware?
I am having trouble with syncing messages and notifications. I can make phone calls and sync call logs but I can't find a way for it to work all the features with my S5. Any help would be great

My A9
Hi Guys,
Received my A9 today. Bought it as it was only 65 Euro and because I was curious as what it would be like as a 'clone'. Initially I was impressed by the looks, feel and the way it operated. This initial positove feeling was quickly followed by disappointment as the Mediatek Smartwatch app won;t connect with the watch. I'm using a Note 4 and although there is a Bluetooth connection the app which is crucial for many features and functions says 'connecting' but nothing happens. I see others here have had or are having the same issues. Any recommendations to get this sorted are welcome.
Ps. I made sure that my settings in Accessibility are correct and that I have the latest version of the App etc.
Many thanks,
Sly.

Have you paired it initially in the android settings menu under the bluetooth tab? That has to be done first. Or mediatek smartdevice wont find it.

Hi I paired the watch with my phone through the BLuetooth pairing procedure on the phone as I would with any Bluetooth device. The Mediatek App simply stays in the 'connecting' mode.
When i check my Bluetooth settings is shows that the phone is connected to the watch for 'Call audio' 'Media Audio' profiles and Allow access to 'Contact and Phone log'.
I get calls coming through on the watch and that side is all working alright.
I'd still very much like to have the messages showing up on the watch...
I think it is a good watch, but the watch faces are ugly as hell.
Can't we develop better watchfaces for this watch? Or just edit the existing ones?
I received a reply from the supplier which contained a QR code. I downloaded the APK App and thought I was on a 'winner' but after installing the App I discovered it was all in Chinese
They are now going to send me a link to the English version of the App which seems to look completely different to the Mediatek Smartdevice App that is supposed to be working with the watch...
Do you have the qr code? And can you add the English version here?

Hi, not yet, the QR I have is for the Chinese App I hope to have the English version tomorrow morning and I will share it no problem.
I really want more watch faces. Does anybody have an idea, how to do it?
I think the OUKITEL A28 or i95 is great too,and with a lower price from tinydeal.
All working
I've installed the 'Fundo Wear' App and it communicates with the A9, SMS messages are coming through, calls can be made and you can add some more Apps like Google Weather. It's basic but for the money I'm satisfied with what it does.
The App wants you to register with a website for your health tracking details but although I did I cannot login with the App as it keeps telling me my password is incorrect...and it isn't

I think you need to activate your account with the incoming email from Fundo. I did but I can not connect my watch with this fundo app. It doesn't see my watch. But mediatek does.

I've completed the registration and that is now also working. I did notice that every time the watch disconnects from the phone because it's out of range it is a balls to get it to connect again...
So after a few hours with an App that seems to be working with the A9 I can come to the conclusion that it doesn't really. When connected it's OK. It does some nice things but unfortunately the connections is dropped on a regular basis and every time the connection is lost it's a total nightmare to get the App to talk to the watch again.
I simply couldn't rate this as a finished product or something that should be sold as such unless there is another App out there that actually works with the device.
On its own it's a decent watch but that really isn't really very 'smart'.
I'll keep messing around with it and try different Apps and will report back here if anything changes...
Techmade Smartwatch
I've said goodbye to the Fundo Wear App as it was a nightmare trying to connect the phone and watch every time the connection was lost. I've now installed the Techmade Smartwatch App which seems to connect immediately and offer similar functionality. The App is in Italian but its simple enough to get round this

Hello everyone.
I own the A9 watch too and I believe its a great build smartwatch.
But, I really want to know if there is a way to update the firmware and how can we change these ugly faces, the watch styles, maybe to rearrange the icons?
Is it possible? How can we "explore" inside the watch?
Thanks in advance

EDIT: FIRMWARE FOUND!!
It's in this thread.
If anyone has the original firmware please let me know.
I need to start developing this rom as soon as possible.

Ok, I'll get it uploaded soon - done
Here you go. Make sure you read up thoroughly before you attempt to use this.
Be sure to get the correct tools needed - I was given this file and I've checked it over. It seems fine but I haven't tested it yet.
this one should be flash-able as is - unzip and select the files with flash-tool https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68912738/!Files_to_FlashTool.zip
This is a backup dump https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68912738/W806_150901_backup_151018-125932.zip
Search XDA for the latest flash tool - you will need it
Thank you very much.
You saved me now !
and 1 more thing can u show me how to do it because my watch is stuck on boot logo
thank in advance
Too bad now my watch is dead maybe i miss some step
I heard the start up sound but it doesn't show anything on my screen
my watch is K8 Smart watch but it's not round
Go over to the k8 square watch thread - grab the firmware and flash it with MTK SP tool. It's fairly hard to brick this watch.

I played around with the K18 Round I got from GearBest.
Short review:
+ very nice
+ good quality
+ not as heavy as iMacwear M7
+ touchscreen works fine (no dead areas like on M7)
+ nice UI
+ fast charging in less than 1 hour from zero
+ hardware buttons can be used while charging
- no Playstore. I had many tries, but logging into my Google account isn't successful.
- Android system and apps are not designed for round displays. So mostly you miss some important buttons like OK, Next or Menu. IMHO this watch is not for beginners who want to use more than the pre-installed apps.

I agree with you.
I have contacted the manufacturer to see if they want to fix the Google apps issue - I'm happy to work with them on it.
After all, Gearbest advertised the watch as having google play store.
i thought it was the same.
and i also can't find any rom for that device
this is my last choice
@ pablo
About playstore:
It is strange because I could add all necessary apk to the firmware and I didn't get any errors when starting the watch. But after logging in with account and password I got the message that they don't match.
Never had something like that before. Seems that Google sees that the watch is not compatible.

Thanks mate.
It's got to be the default or build.prop or MNS .xml that is set to something Google does not like.
Did you get google services/settings running? That would probably be a key apk in this.
I installed 4 or 5 apk like services, framework, playstore / vending / provision, gas or so. As I said there were no forced closes.
I didn't find anything in the build.prop. And I tried using the complete etc/permissions from M7.

kernel sources wanted!
Does anyone know if kernel sources/config is available for this or similar device?
I'd modify the display driver to have kind of 'overscroll' empty bars on top and bottom of screen so that you could access all the info and controls in apps. Something similar you have on other devices with emulated home/back buttons on the bottom of touchscreen, so should be easy to implement.
@photoncounter
I reckon the Omate trusmart is the closest device to this OS wise.
I've contacted the manufacturer but no reply yet. If I find anything I'll post it here.
Hi guys,
I have a Mate 8 NXT-L29 with Android 7. Recently I bought a fitness smart bracelet who use an app: "Smart Wrist Band". I downloaded it from Google Play.
The problem is that the app is running well for an hour (more or less) and then the it close by itself.
I tried to add in Settings>Apps>Settings>Special access>Ignore Battery optimization but nothing is changed.
I also have a MI fitness bracelet and everything is working well (even without adding the app in battery optimization option).
Before this I had another band with Day Day app. This was working well.
What do you think? Is it a problem with the app? I saw in the comments section that I'm not the only one with lack of the connection problem.
Thank you!
Tap that square navigator button, select the app, and then tap the Lock icon on its upper-right corner.
James, thank you for your reply. I tried to use tasker (to open the app when it is closed but...without success).
I tried your solution. Until now, the app is on. I'll wait until tomorrow.
I will come back with the results. Thank you!

i don't think mirroring feature is in yota 3

I expected the way of working like Yotaphone 2
Could you please tell me exactly how mirroring works on Yota3? On yotaphone 2 I can use epd just like color. How about yota3?

I am a Chinese Yota3 user.
Yota brand was bought by a Chinese company, which turned out to be a disaster. You need some tricks to make yota3 easy to use.
There is still mirror mode, but need some effort to turn on.
Download a app named More shortcuts, long press at desktop to open widgets, add more shortcuts.
Choose Activity - Factory test - Mirror activity.
Then there will be a shortcuts added for mirror mode.
In this mode, only Back Button can be used. You may need a gusture app to help. (Like assistive Touch in iphone）
Or You can use Direct app mode (newly introduced in yotaphone3) to launch an app on eink. (talk later)
（btw, how can I post a screenshot here)

As a new user of Yota3, I'm really interested by the "Direct app mode" and the shortcuts... I missed these function. Yotaphone 2 with the mirror mode was much more easy to use

In OTA updates after Feb. there are several app shortcuts added to Discover page on EDP which can help to launch them on EDP if already installed in color screen. This is called Direct app mode. But you cannot customize the app shortcuts on Discover page (stupid).
The shortcuts launch by package name.
Here is how we go. Change any launcher's (or any other app you'd like) package name to any of the shortcuts on Dicover page. Install to color screen. Launch it on eink Discover page.
I have a modified eink launcher at hand. But dont know how to upload.
* ATTENTION If you OTA update to Dec version or later (included Feb version) battery usage will increase a lot. And newly added apps/functions are mostly for Chinese user. You can only send back to factory in China if you wanna go back to ealier version. COZ no root yet.

Thanks for your answer. For now, I didn't updated the phone, it's still on Y3SCN06A1000MPX1712021 Rom.
You can send attachments with your posts (if the app is not too big) with the "clip" icon , near the smiley icon, when writing a message.
Another question: do you know how if the latest firmware upgrade add some changes to the screen timeout time? With my firmware, I can only set maximum 30 min: when I choose "Screen always on"" (Settings-Display- Sleep-"Screen always On"), it doesn't work. This may help when using Mirror mode, otherwise after 30 minutes, it will quit this mode if you don't touch the screen (I use the mirror mode with GPS app).
I tried the method suggested by awayu using Activity Launcher app, but couldn't quite get it to work.
But I went to Baidu in a hope to find more info on this on Chinese forums and found this one:
tieba.baidu.com/p/5587584209
It offers to download and install apk that impersonates Hinhua News (新华社 - top leftmost on Discovery screen) and provides up app launcher on e-ink screen instead.
So I've bitten the bullet and installed this apk and seems to be working.
In a way this is even better solution as it gives you menu of apps to launch, but at the cost of installing random apk. It was a bit re-assuring that it doesn't seem to require any permissions.
I'm not affiliated with the author of the post at baidu, use at your own risk!
Alternative way of mirror mode
Specially thanks to awayu who sent me this modified E-ink launcher app which really works. Under the command of this launcher users can have good control of the apps on the front screen when using EPD. For instance I can even turn on mobile network under the reading mode (long press the power bottom to switch) so I can have access to any phone calls when reading. After installing this app I am pretty much happy about Yota 3 now.
English google play stops working
It just can't be opened. I reset several times but same issue. What to do ???
Try to avoid using the preinstalled "AppStore"
Perform factory reset to get back to the "clean state". Disable the preinstalled AppStore (or freeze it) to prevent it from installing any untrusted apps by Chinese developers. Instead using the (preinstalled) browser to find the necessary apk(s) to install google frameworks. Remember not to install any untrusted apps and from then on you should be fine.

Specially thanks to awayu who sent me this modified E-ink launcher app which really works. Under the command of this launcher users can have good control of the apps on the front screen when using EPD. For instance I can even turn on mobile network under the reading mode (long press the power bottom to switch) so I can have access to any phone calls when reading. After installing this app I am pretty much happy about Yota 3 now.

That E-ink launcher app makes mirror mode looks like yotaphone2? I have been thinking between Hisense a2 pro and yotaphone3 for several months.

@awayu,
Thanks for your help.
To upload, try the paper-clip icon. I am attaching a picture.
Best regards,
Yotahub search on Yotaphone 3
Now I realize I am a bit fan of Yotaphone 2 and not of Yotaphone 3( after the recent purchase of it).
I like Yotaphone 3 e-ink display to be the same (visually) as Yotaphone 2. is it achievable? Want to put e-ink apps and widget as Yotaphone 2 does.
My question is, is there a way to achieve it? Any help. :fingers-crossed:
