Problem with the sound
Hi
I got this Watch around 2 months ago, but havent used it that much.
Worked flawless out of the box, but sounded a bit to much so changed some kind of settings to remove the sound. After that I cant seem to get it back.
Did reinstall both the Watch and the mediatek app, but cant get the sound back on the Watch. When someone tries to call me, the Clock vibrates, but no sound, and when I answer they can hear me, but I cant hear them. Same with Music and voice memos etc. I cant get any sound from the Watch :/
Anyone experienced something similiar?

Help please
Hello, recently bricked my watch and want to use your firmware for the GW01 , however I don't know what to do. I would really appreciate if you wouldn't mind listing step by step instructions on how to do it. I'm quite new to flashing firmware so I'm a rookie. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Running tracker w intensity zones
Hi,
the GW01 has all hardware functionality to support cardio training (running): heart rate measurement, vibration, BT (BLE / GATT). There are also great android apps supporting it incl. intensity zones. E.g. Sports Tracker Running & Biking.
But I couldn't connect the app (running Android 7.01) and the GW01 so I see the HR on the app.
Anyone tested? Needs a firmware upgrade? or the G3 firmware?
thx

Hi. I now am in your situation. Seems like only G3+ firmware that can pass the firmware installation but does not revieve the watch. Did you figure it out on how to unbrick it?
Please advise.

Good news! I have just revived my watch back by using the firmware i found on Russian website
[Instructions]
Just extract it to your c:\ then open your flash tool and point the target config file to this.
The funny thing is flash tool keep saying "the config file is invalid" if you put the firmware to any other directories besides c:\
I hope this would work out for you too!
Since i am a newbie and XDA does not let newbies include external link in post. I will inbox you with the link.

Yes it works after tested here is the file...
As a tip to the flashtool choose first total format and then reconnect and do the install

2 - I replaced it with a stainless steel silver band, it's looking better.
Smart Watch Free Shipping 20mm 22mm Width Silver Color Stainless Steel Mesh Watch Strap Band Buckle With 2 Spring Bars

(from AliExpress Android)
You can use another one of course, just the width should be 22mm. This one that I have it's a little bit wobbly, but it's ok. The thing is that the watch is matte, the band is shiny, but it doesn't look that it does not belong.

Jorge Moreira3GW01 Secret Codes
Hello,
I had found some "secret" codes in my GW01, this is the list and a description:
Code:*#9966*# Factory Test Mode *#996810# Unknown (Shows Done!) *#931# Shows a message and dissapears *#902# Returns to app menu *#932# Same as 931 *#903# Returns to menu *#993646633# Engineer Mode *#933# Show a message and dissapears *#1234# AD2P PTS mode (message) *#63342835# Mediatek logo *#998375# Version information *#06# IMEI (None) *#9987# Automatic Test (screen, sound, ...)3I've got mine for about a week now and i have mixed feelings.
First of all, i really wanted to remote control the music and the calls from the watch. But this is not possible.
GW01 has and embedded speaker and microphone so you answer calls(listen and speak) and you hear music from the watch. If you wanted to use it while having a bluetooth headset connected, just like i did, you can't.
Pairing with your phone gives you 4 uses:
- Phone audio
- Media audio
- Input device
- Contact sharing
As you would have guessed, disabling Phone audio will disable the calling and messaging functions, disabling Media audio will disable Music playback and control. This means that the "Apps" will ask for the missing permissions and will not launch. And if you give those uses to the GW01, you will not be able to pair it with a headset at the same time.
There are 2 heart rate related Apps. One gives you a fixed heart rate while the other gives you a continuous feedback.
The body temperature seems to work just fine. As for the UV, seems a bit too much since you can just look up.
There is a vibrate app that just vibrates the watch. No other use... or at least i cant find one. Maybe for testing vibration or something?
The notifications are a bit strange but i think it has to do with the way the phone's app sends it to the watch. For example facebook group messages show the sender's name while direct fb pm's don't show the sender.
There are some strange options for notification like "open" which opens the notification on the phone. Why would i want something like that? On the other hand, the "like" option is pretty cool for a fast reply.
The gesture control is a little bit buggy and i disabled it after a day's use. It detects not the movement but the turn of the wrist. So in 45 degrees the screen is off, turn it 10-15 degrees it wakes, turn it a little more and it's off again. Plus while walking hands moving around, the watch was continuously going on and off again.
On the up side, the speaker is loud enough for everyone to hear your call in a crowded place while the microphone is decent if you hold the watch near your mouth. Move it a little far and you are silent.
The watches' battery status appears on the notification bar thanks to the fundo app so that's another plus.
The watchfaces was another big disappointment. There are so few of them. But as it seems on other watches having the same OS, they found a way to add your own custom made faces so i will keep my hopes up and go on searching.
Last but not least, the battery time is better than expected. having the screen timeout at 15 seconds and using it connected to the bluetooth all the time i've got a little over 2 days of use without charge.
I would say it is a decent first smartwatch if your budget is miles away from an android wear.
P.S. If someone finds a way to fix that call/music control issue or add more watchfaces (except the ones through the FundoApp), leave a note2Hi!
I might just had bricked my GW01
[...]
Hello,
I'm just in the same situation for second time This happens to me when uninstalled a watchface vpx file, when this is performed by the watch the current watchface is changed :-? and if you uninstall the current one soft brick.
To "unbrick" it the first time I first put the watch in the charge base connected to a PC and the software in the phone "Mediatek smartdevice" or maybe "Fondoo"...
[Unbricked mine while writing...]
Now with the watch in the base power it on (hold on button 10 seconds for forced poweroff), now let it boot and wait to see the "Internal storage" message in the watch (that's the reason of connected PC) now try to connect using the Mediatek SmartDevice (Pressing the watch icon on screen), this procedure usually fails but after 3 or 5 tries it connectes for a few seconds (around 10-20 seconds) and let you install and uninstall apps.
Try to install the vpx that was uninstalled just before the crash, you say that the hang was when you try to install Yahoo (it does not work for me) but I'm quite sure the hang was just before, when you uninstall a watchface as the brick seems to be related to not be able to run the actual face as it is no more in the device.
Good luck.

Hello,
My procedure is not with a Xiaomi but with an Ulefone Future, bluetooth connection is complete except phone audio profile as in my case if I remove phone and multimedia profile GW01 keeps disconnecting constantly or not connecting at all, so I keep multimedia and the other profiles except phone profile. In my case multimedia routed to GW01 is also a problem, all sound notifications go to the watch (great) but also music and youtube videos (Argggg!). As disconnect the multimedia creates a problem I went to Play Store and download "SoundAbout" app and instruct it to route all multimedia audio to the phone (unconditionally), keeping my GW01 working as a notification receiver and some nice watchfaces in an elegant watch.
I'm not sure if "SoundAbout" can also route phne calls to phone unconditionally.
