More OTA issues… Your help needed please…!
Hi all.
Recent OTA updates to seemingly all of the Finow watch range are causing various issues to the respective watches.
X5+, X3+, D5+, LEM5 and Q1, Q3+ watches have received an OTA very recently. Unfortunately it appears that the OTA causes a very serious problem with your google account. Most people report freezing of the play store app or the screen going black /blank when the play store is activated.
Please post your experience of this problem here along with any error messages or photos of the issue. I will use the results to help have the problem fixed.

Please add any other issues /evidence that you may have of other symptoms you may be experiencing after the last OTA for your watch.
eg, stats for any excessive battery drain. Basically anything that went wrong after the OTA.
This includes the regular X series of watches as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Fresh new X3+ from GB, OTA updated and I cannot proceed into play store. I get a notification that a device “Android” has used my google account (via email, as configured), but the X3+ shows endless google throbber for minutes - and gets really warm.
Note that it will still drain your battery when pression home twice - be sure to kick it via recent app.
WiFi, no 3G.
Anyone knows a trustworthy source for Floating Launcher and Settings Serch App as .apk ?

It’s looking like the OTA has dropped duplicate google play store and services on the watches. So google will reject the watch. It has been noticed on a lot of the Finow watches.

Please let me know in this thread how you get on with it.

How do i know which google play services apk should i download?

@ys_ys
have you checked your IMEI number ?

14

Checking the imei there is a number its not empty.

15

Hi Ade, do you mean just update google play services?

16

X3+ here… yes the OTA removed my IMEI, I had to root to restore it.
Anyone with the same problem can see my post on the proboard forum.

If i see a number in the imei is it ok? This isnt my issue? Sorry for the dumb questions im new to this.

I got the 9/22 update and playstore working with no issues. I wonder why the trouble? Guess I have a lucky watch. I did check the downloaded file and it has an md5 mismatch. The first 7/26 flashed fine in TWRP and then the second update 9/22 went thru stock recovery. I have the update.zip file if anyone wants to see what’s in it. I can’t get it to open on my PC.

@Edward_Henry ​ how did you obtain the http://update.zip? Where is it stored after the OTA downloads it?

BTW, I still have the imei in both my watches (X5 & X5+). Seems to me that even the bugs are very inconsistent.

@Edward_Henry ​ x5+ or regular X5?
And yes I would like to have a look at it please.
I will add though that this may not be the problem update.
I really need the OTA from the recent X plus updates… But I’m interested in this one as well…
