S13 Watch / Vwar core 5. With Android 13 and AMOLED screen

I didn’t realise that you were having to use adb to get Assistant to work.

Basically, it would have been better if you said it didn’t work until you issued these adb commands.

Anyway, it’s pretty much a moot point now. No one in their right mind would buy such a dodgy device, unless they have an extremely good reason. I think this assistant topic is dead - for both the S13 and the dodgy crap that was sent out.

Unless you people can think of any good reason to continue? If you do - you might consider opening up a new topic specifically for this.

@Raide you need to post your firmware version please. This is the only important piece of information that is needed right now to help identify the watch’s real identity and specification.

I have asked for a HWinfo report, but still nothing from you. Is it the same as the one @bsdinis posted? See below.

At the start I wasn’t using adb commands … I’m using them now to try to get the assistant to stick … for some reason after a period of time it wants to run the setup again.

As for firmware, I’m confused … I posted that up above, or are you looking for something else?

I may have missed it in the many notifications I get every day.

Can you humour me and post it again please?

Just wanted to make sure that it doesn’t start with C29 xxxxx thanks @Raide

Cheers

Actually, found it Thanks

Sure no problem… I’ve included the link to the video of it running …

Yep, just confirming that this is Android 8 and not A13.

Thanks for confirming that this is not an S13.

Needed to confirm

Cheers

As I said before, let’s drop the Google Assistant crap.

At the end of the day, this is an unknown device which has a Unisoc chipset that has no relationship with what this topic is about.

I’d still be interested in who you are purchasing from, just so others don’t make the same mistake.

And I’m guessing that the adb commands you use for Google Assistant do not persist after a reboot?

Cheers

I bought mine, like @bsdinis , from aliexpress but a different seller. Ironically I found THIS site because aliexpress is using the exact same images and description …. is there a better group for this

As for Assistant - it just seems to be time, after minutes/hours, when I go back to use it it wants to setup again, its like some process is unbinding it? Its strange. I am really only trying to figure out assistant to see if its stopping android auto from working, and also to learn more, ( I haven’t used Android in a long time)

Google Assistant is very important on our watches because size of screen, personnaly i dont buy a watch without Google Assistant.

I was able to get a refund for this fake watch and they didn’t even ask to send it back, the return shipping is probably more expensive than this crap. I had to wait exactly 23 hours for their automated system to provide me with two solutions, and when I chose the full refund and return solution I still had to wait another 48 hours before it was automatically approved by their system. they didn’t even bother to reply to the return/refund process and just let the system automatically handle it when the deadlines end. in the meantime, I also got an email from support saying that they see that I have opened a return process for order number xxx and that I would need to pay a small shipping fee to return the item, that was either a dumb automated response or just Chinese tactics to ragebait people into issuing a chargeback too early before exhausting every possible solution with the merchant.
I bought some silicone-like black adhesive sealant and I will attempt to glue the watch back together, but it is very difficult to get the battery wires folded just right, and I still don’t know how am I going to hold everything securely in place while waiting for the sealant to dry.

I have a VWAR Core5. Don’t be sad that you can’t buy one. The watch works perfectly, but I really don’t like that the Core5 can’t use 2G 3G networks, only LTE.

WVAR core5 available now in set. VWAR Core5

i dont think that matters any more because the public 2g 3g signal tower is long shut down any you may find is basicaly a scam

May be out of stock on Aliexpress but not on the official Vwar website…

In my country it’s an official advertissement from the operators : no more 2G/3G in 2 years max…

but that is the official Whatsapp business contact for Vwar.fit…

here already removed all 2g 3g infastructure a while back

May be your contact on Whatsapp tell you a wrong information, if you go on the official website : 43 items on stock at the moment and you can pay with Paypal, so no risks…

Futur will tell the truth about shut down 2G/3G ; at the moment in my country when i place a call all of my watches switches to 3G, none of my watches rest on 4 G durind a call…
