Has anyone successfully added Moto 360 to S Health as a device? I use the app on my Note 3 and I want to add to my watch as the device and not phone.
I've tried to pair on an S4 with no luck. I think Samsung has S Health to where it only works with a few devices and Samsung watches...
Google fit is the only one I know of that works with the Moto for health.
Sleep for android works as a sleep tracker.
Give time, it'll eventually have the compatibility or someone will make it have compatibility.
Has anyone found a work around for this yet? I would love to be able to pair my Moto 360 with S-Health.
I would love this!

S Health doesn't share data with Android Wear anyway. The S4 comes with S Health, unless you rooted and deleted it, or you have the S4 GPe. You can try getting it back from the Samsung Apps store, that's where it receives updates from.

Yeah my phone is rooted and they probably got rid of it, but since it doesn't sync up, screw it. thanks
Hi all,
I've noticed the Alfawise Tab tablet on Gearbest Mod Edit: Selling site link removed.
As reviewed by some, this tablet seems great at a very low cost. It has the screen, the sounds, the battery, the form factor etc...
Mod Edit: Video link removed for promoting selling site.
Sadly, searching for at least a "support" or "download firmware" doesn't return any results.
It only has Android 6 with security patches from March 2016.
I'm a bit concerned about security, but not that much, since I only use my current tablet for reading and browsing (so... a pdf reader and Chrome is enough).
I've seen in some other review that an anti-malware check returned nothing (minute 5m 24s, in the view below). So, this tablet may be clean, just the software outdated.
Mod Edit: Video link removed for promoting commercial selling.
So, I'm just interested in BUGS right now, if any. The iFive tablet seems to also have an outdated Android 6 version and it has some pretty annoying issues mentioned HERE, on XDA forums
If you have this tablet, please tell me: what bugs did you find? Force crashes of apps, deadlocks, SoD, etc... ?
Kind regards
I have the tablet since last week now...
i have to say I have several Android tablet Teclast x98Air, x98Air2, Cube i7, iFive 4S... I have rooted all my tablet, some by mounting a factory system partition on my computer and manually adding su binaries. I switched also to iPad mini 4 for 1 year and half or so... In short, I know what kind of issue you can meet and what is a good tablet according to chinese standard and can compare with other kind of devices...
The Alfawise Tab is an amazing piece of hardware AND software for the bucks :
Hardware :
- Good Audio
- Slim. Not as much as an iPad mini but slimmer then iFive 4s (which is a ****ing piece of crap).
- Great screen : it's 1536 x 2048. Clear, bright... You get it.
- USB-C charge.
- Storage seems fast enough.
- Decent battery life.
- It's metal. Not ****ty plastic like iFive.
- Good build according to chinese standard. Not as good as Xiaomi but still pretty good. Better than Teclast.
Software :
- No bloatware, crapware, ****ware of any kind... It's stock Android. Period.
- Fully loaded with google suite : Appstore and the whole google ecosystem (map, book, film, chatting stuffs, music, assistant, youtube).
- NO SoD, NO crash, no infamous shutdown... Nothing. The thing is as stable and smooth as swiss clock.
- It's fast. NO lags. (But i idn't test any game. And I'm more like puzzle game than car or fight).
Only downside : I couldn't find any factory rom on the web, neither boot image. There is no "su" binary in the system partition (???), the rom is a production one and adb root is disabled so there is no way to make a dump of boot and system partition as a backup or material to root or custom rom (as far as I know). Couldn't find a way to contact Alfawise. There is no contact form or any information on that matter on their website to ask them to release the factory rom for public consumption.
Great reply, @w1nst0n sm1th, and I totally agree with you about the downsides!

First of all, thank you very much for replying with such useful information. I too noticed the PROs of this and I'm glad you confirmed them.
As for the downsides, yes!, those quoted concern me the most. No support, no contact, no "download firmware" section.
However, this is not really that bad, given that other popular brands in China will make you almost flash a new ROM when they release an update (no OTA or not working).
For example, the iFive is backed by a s***ty website with updates and support. Each update is tagged with a hardware version. In their case, you have to update the right tablet with the corresponding ROM, otherwise you are probably screwed. (please correct me if I'm wrong regarding the updating process in the case of iFive)
I prefer a stable OS with no updates and no support page :good: rather than an unstable OS , with updates that patch the issues reported on an official support page.
Thank you again for your opinion.
I hope others will join this thread with hands-on experiences.
@w1nst0n sm1th do you feel like it's a good upgrade from ifive mini 4s (battery life, audio output, video decoding)? have you tried 10 bit videos? thinking of upgrading, using it mostly for reading, watching x265 videos & Twitch.
looks like they can be contacted through here : https://www.alfawise.com/category-contact

It's definitelly a good upgrade. Quality is clearly above iFive 4s, as well for hardware than software.

I don't really measure it. But since i had the occasion to compare with iFive 4s I bought 2 months earlier, it seemed to me the battery life lasted longer, as long as you don't leave the tablet in a state of heavy duty without putting it in deep sleep (screen switched off), like screen on with a game started on the foreground or background.
Once on heavy duty, the battery will soon decrease rapidly, but that's the case with every tablet.
Does it support Full HD Netflix?
Hi all,
Does this tablet support viewing Netflix in Full HD?
I know many of the chinese tablets do not support this due to moded or non-certified OS...
Kind regards

Stupid me .... I needed the pull down menu .... and choose file transfer instead of usb charging ......omg , stupid me.
Its working now.
firmware
The tablet is a rebranded JDtab 01. In order to find firmware for this one google "needrom jdtab" (i can't post a link), but it needs a premium account, i also found it and downloaded from another site, google "panuso.com52949643", i uploaded it to my google drive (i can email the link to anyone that need it). I think it's possible to use the scatter file from the JDtab's rom to take a backup for the rom and create CWM recovery, in order to root, or even flash the entire rom to the tablet (there is a post at androidiani.com, you can google "androidiani. alfawise tab root" in order to find it. Also you can google "rom development for Mediatek MT8173 & MT8176 " , maybe you find something useful.
Bugs?
Has anyone managed to root the device , take a backup or flash Jdtab's rom? I have a problem with many apps that want to draw over other and I can't give them the permission to do it. Also there isn't a reboot selection (strange for Android 6). Another major problem is that there isn't Wi-Fi hot-spot setting and there isn't any way to activate it, (unable to use shareit or midrop). Lastly, when you power off the device and boot it again, it takes a very long time to boot.
ROOT for JDTAB
Here is a tutorial that i found, explaining hot to root JDTAB: Google "baidu5615963852"
Maybe appliable to our tablet by only flashing boot.img (if the boot.img is compatible with ours).
I also found that MTK8173 can be generally rooted with magidisk, but we can only use JDTAB'S boot.img.
So if someone is risky enough, can give it a try.
I made flashable rom zip for custom recovery (TWRp etc) using JDTAB'S stock rom for spflashtools with android kitchen. I HAVEN'T TESTED IT
Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/11aWntKplL8p8Ik_0O5rNr5b85JKzwbs2/view
There is a MT8173 TWRP for porting, maybe someone can make a working TWRP. I used Alfawise's stock recovery and tried 3 differend methods, none worked.

Spflashtools JDTAB rom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ckEkkvXeqtFDjzttvDewVNFgfxWUAiIT
Alfawise tab firmware
Good news!
I managed to get the official firmware and tool from Gearbest.
So if anyone ends bricking his device, can hopefully restore it with this firmware.
I will also try to port TWRP with this stock recovery.img
Here is the alfawise image&tool download address in baidu cloud:
https://pan.baidu.com/s/12ojEZHuw16uUS42Op2qWaw
PassWord：fz8b
I will also upload it to Google Drive tomorrow.
For now, here is Alfawise's stock recovery.img and scatter: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ppChA43MamPdVtli6JKnc9Hp33zHWMid
ROOT tutorial for JDTAB, probably appliable to Alfawise: https://tieba.baidu.com/p/5615963852

i bought the tab from gearbest. the tab switches on rarely. currently the tab wont switch on and don't know if it'll ever switch on. from day 1 i'm facing this issue. Don't know if it's the battery/ power / display issue. the charging indicator light is displayed when connected to battery. pressing the power + volume down button continuously for more than a minute is also not helping. tried charging the battery one whole night. still no luck. Any help is appreciated

First try to hold the power button pressed over 15 seconds . If that doesn't help, try to reflash the official firmware.
Still no luck

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, reflashing the official firmware too didn't help resolve the issue.

In this case you should open a Ticket to Gearbest (do not mention that you reflashed the firmware).
Hi. I did a debloat to my Samsung a32 4g. I manually adjusted the list so it won't remove stuff I need, but I realised that I don't have dolby atmos anymore. Is there any way to get it back?
I also was thinking to update to new android 13 update which I still didn't do.
Because after debloat, phone works faster than new and that is amazing! I'm afraid that it will become more slow after update. Do you know is it true? Or if I will debloat it again it will be OK?
I found that dolby atmos maybe connected to this line com.sec.android.app.soundalive?
I was thinking if I do an update, all the bloat will be back, and I will use the debloat list again, only I will also remove that line so it won't delete. Does android 13 one ui5 requires any additional debloat list and apps and where to find it?
Thanks so much for help
Oh and I also wanted to ask is there any decent screen recorder available because these from
Playstore are laggy and slow. On my old xiaomi I could do this in a second and have a small size good quality file ready to send immediately. I'm having problems with that as there was no pre installed screen recorder lol

search for galaxy s20 ultra debloat list. it is universal for all samsung phones. also, using adb to unbloat is kinda bad cuz some apps just reactive themselves, so i suggest you to root your phone and install the Knox Patcher if u want secure folder, private share etc back

HI there. to get dolby back if you used that gui adb tool you could easily restore. for now i think factory reset is your only option unlessand until we get the dolby's app name so you could reinstall it.
As for the update part let me tell you one ui 5.1 update i did feel it is smoother. I only used it for a while before switching to a custom gsi. But it felt way smoother. Although note it includes a binary bump. The latest one ui firmware is not downgradable. you wont be able to go back to android 12 or android 11

You can use RecMe screen recorder at max bitrate possible, and yeah, back when i used to have this phone, it was laggy recording videos, this phone actually sucks in almost everything. Don't talk about your xIaOmI phone on samsung forums please, but as you started saying about it imma finish it... xiaomi phones have a far lighter user interface, that is MIUI, but it is really really bad and actually spies you, and meh, i hate these chinese phones for this exact reason, spying. You can root your samsung and install a GSI like crdroid or other stuff

you could use my floating.xml tweaks if rooted. Otherwise using a third party app is the way to go. Tbh my experience on gsi's has been better than one ui.
