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

@WildsideD
The two opposing magnets must be removed from the holder and reinserted in reverse. Then the metal pins are pushed out and wired as shown in the photo.
However, I will create a more detailed tutorial tomorrow.

Much obliged, good sir; this will be invaluable once the cable arrives. Might have a go at the remote ADB over the weekend to get Watch Droid working, as it would be nice to get texts forwarded over.

Two cameras? 2+9 mpx?

Where’s the second one? I only see a single, rotative camera on the right side.

How you deduce that hardware specs are fake even when hardware detection tools say you other words?

Thanks @G1NT0N1C

Second camera is on the back of the watch.

Designed to be used as a standalone - watch off wrist and use as a camera.

It’s an interesting approach and some think it is controversial.

Matter of taste I guess.

I thought it was 0.3mp side and 5mp rear..

I will upload the spec sheet - ignore the ram and storage figures.

ASR_S13 (2).pdf (64.5 KB)

They are hard coded wrong and should be 3gb ram and 32gb storage. These are the correct figures.

When you send the command via adb it sometimes looks like nothing has happened. When actually it has and now works

hi, is there anyway we could get some kind of tutorial on wich apps to close permissions on to prolong the batterylife? i still have mine but do not use it as i cannot get more than 10 hours of batterylife, even in light-mode…i suppose it has to do with certain apps running in the background…in comparison, my m99 (A8) gets me 36 hours with everything on (gps,wifi,bluetooth and cell)

Dr_Andy_Vishnu · October 25, 2025, 9:10am

So you have a S13 ?

jesax · October 25, 2025, 9:15am

yess doc…had a vwar core 5…sold it a while back…and as i was bored rebought a s13 (much cheaper than the vwar core 5)….it’s only money..

If you take a picture at max resolution, what’s the vertical and horizontal size of the file?

Dr_Andy_Vishnu · October 25, 2025, 12:07pm

No problem . I get easily two days out of mine. Have you updated firmware and factory reset ? For me via adb removing bloatware is a good move.

jesax · October 25, 2025, 12:12pm

yess,upgaded and factory reset….i’ll have a look at the pdf later in the day…thanx a bunch

do you use yours with bt,wifi,sim card and cell? or one of the above?

ideal for me is a bt connection whilst i am close to my phone, and the cell connection when i leave house without the phone…

ideally both on 24/7, as otherwise i forget to switch on and off

wifi can stay off for me, as i use only when installing apps…for the rest the data comes from my sim wich has unrestricted data amount

i charged it fully at 12.30…left it next to my phone without using it, and we are now 2 hours later, and it has gone down to 73%, wothout using it, just incoming notifications…not good

Dr_Andy_Vishnu · October 25, 2025, 12:32pm

I leave bt on and connected via watchdroid. Mobile data also always on

Gps / wifi off

jesax · October 25, 2025, 12:50pm

i just made connection with bugjaeger thru wifi as i do not have the 4pin cable yet…it has worked

anyway of getting a list what can be safely uninstalled?

G1NT0N1C · October 25, 2025, 2:13pm

Since 4-pin cables for the S13 and Vwar core5 are nearly impossible to find (and if you do find them, they cost $18!), I’ve created a guide on how to make an $18 cable from an 89-cent DW89 cable.
I’ll add it to the main post also.

Dr_Andy_Vishnu · October 25, 2025, 4:30pm

Brilliant. Great work mate

G1NT0N1C · October 25, 2025, 4:54pm

Thank you Doc.

BIN_NIE · October 26, 2025, 6:04pm

how to wireless debugging on Raserberry OS?

G1NT0N1C · October 26, 2025, 6:17pm

I don’t know, sorry. I can’t find anything in the net also.

Hi everyone. I can’t make the WatchDroid app “appear on top of other apps”
