I get to the page and it says battery calibration simulation…
Is this correct? Simulated Battery Calibration_v1.5_apkpure.com.apk (3.0 MB)
That is correct.

This is the video when Mr. Kronos says of that app from where you can call from phone. Starts at 7: 35 to say about an app that can be found on google play, TEXT NOW is the name. Do you have any idea about it?
Do you live in USA or Canada ?
Basically this is nothing to do with Bluetooth.
If you are in that country you can use it and I believe it is free but I can’t comment further because I do not live there and so it does not appear in the Play Store for me.

# Is TextNow Available In My Country?
We’re very excited to say that TextNow is available for download in many countries outside of the US and Canada. As long as you have a data connection (like WiFi) you can get a free number and call North American numbers for free. If you want to call a local number outside of the US/Canada you will need to buy International Long Distance credits.
Hi. My new Genesis is totally locked. The pattern I have forgot and The Bluetooth with the app don’t work. What to do ?
I don’t understand why you would tell him to flash the firmware when he really hasn’t identified his problem.
For example what were you doing when the watch “locked” and what do you mean by locked is it just not responding to touch?
When he says pattern what does he mean? Did he put in a screen lock and now doesn’t remember it.
What does the BT app have to do with the problem?
Without knowing anything else I would initially reboot the watch.
At some point he may have to flash the firmware to restore the watch but if he is new to these watches he could just make it worse if he doesn’t know how to flash a device.

that’s how I understood it
my guess about that is that he thought it would work like an android wear watch where you control about everything on the watch from the phone

Yes I forgot the pattern. In the app you can unlock device
This is not possible with these watches. You can try to find the right pattern, but flashing the watch will help for sure. You should read the post that @noidremained linked for you.
You are the guy that Jason emailed and I replied to?
As I said in the email you have to flash the firmware. It cannot be unlocked once you have forgotten the pass pattern.
Flashing is simple as I said in the email.
Just pop over to the Genesis firmware thread and download what you need.
Watch a couple of videos on YouTube about "flashing firmware using SP flash tool " to gain confidence if needed.

Yes I am. I will try that. Thanks
Can not find this file:
-Dismiss the warning and use the scatter file browse button to browse to the firmware IMAGE folder which is in your extracted firmware folder. Select the scatter file.
So you have installed the drivers?
Extracted the firmware onto the pc.
Once you open the flash tool you click on the scatter file browse button in the flash tool.
Then navigate to the directory where you extracted the firmware.
Open the folder called image.
Select the scatter file and the firmware will load in the flash tool.
Make sure you follow my steps in the post.
Watch off etc etc
Ok, so the app gives the watch a phone number of its own without the need of a sim card, so when you use it to call someone, you will call from that number and not from the number of your phone.
Jason doesn’t mention bluetooth, so I don’t know why you got the impression that it uses a bluetooth connection. All it needs is a connection to the internet, so it can be connected through your home wifi, wifi hotspot from the phone (this is what Jason mentioned) or possibly you might be able to share the phones internet connection through bluetooth. I think some users here have succeeded in sharing the internet connection through bluetooth, but it seems to be difficult to get it working.
Also, look at the following post where @roswell108 mentions a similar app:
@noidremained That looks just like my post up above
