Hey guys, so I got the Smart Bracelet i5 plus on the mail today, which is a Chinese attempt of a smart watch and I must say it is pretty good. One feature that I always wanted a smart watch for was to get incoming notifications from my Android. Although the bracelet has the feature, it is limited to Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp, Skype, and text messages. I actually found a cool trick for the bracelet to display all notifications. Go into the Zeroner app, then go into the message push option. There select sms application. Now this is where the magic happens. Select the Android System option. Now, every Android notification will look as if you were getting a text message (in the notification, it will say "sms" and the text). That's it, now you can use your smart bracelet to check all notifications. If you have any questions or would like to say thanks, do so in the comments below. [Update 05/23/2016]: I have seen that there is big flow of questions related to this watch. Many of them I cannot answer because my watch broke a long time ago due to some water getting inside of it (Yes, the smartband is not completely water proof, keep that in mind). However, I will try my best to write a Q&A below to help with any problems I can help with. That is the most I can do in my position. Q&AQ: I can't get my bracelet to show me my messages or notification.
A: Make sure that you have the zeroner app installed in your phone, and also make sure you have paired your smartband with the phone properly. Then if you are on Android you must enable the the notification access for the zeroner application. Go to settings > sound & notifications > notification access. Q: My smartband is not powering on the screen, but only powers on the led. A: Your smartband might be malfunctioning and you should return it to the seller. Q: My smartband won't stop vibrating. A: Your smartband might be malfunctioning and you should return it to the seller. Q: My smartband is powering on but I can't move through the menu. A: Your smartband might be malfunctioning and you should return it to the seller. Q: How to I enable sedentary reminders? A: Zeroner app > Device Settings > Sedentary reminders. Q: I can't get any notifications on my iphone A: This tutorial was made for Android devices, hopefully someone can help you in the comments because I can't. Q: My smartband keeps randomly vibrating A: You might have sedentary reminders enable. Q: How can I read the whole message instead of just the notification A: The way that this tutorial works, it will only show you the name of the notification that you got, not the actual text of the notification. For the apps supported by the zeroner app (Facebook, Twitter, whatsapp and Skype) it should show you the whole text of the message. If you can do some trickery with tasker or any other automation app which will make the message the title of the notification then it should work, but that is a very technical solution for this issue, consider getting a smartwatch if you want to see full notifications all the time. Those are the main questions that most people have been asking. Please, If you have any other questions, send them to whoever you got your smartband from, I can not help you guys because I do not have the smartband anymore.

Hello friend, I use mines with the latest version of the firmware and it does work fine. My phone is a Samsung Note 3. Be sure to check that Message notify is enabled in the Zeroner app, and also check that the bluetooth device is connected through the app too, for some reason you have to also connect it on the app even if you have it connected through the Android settings.

It happens. So based on what you said, it seems to be getting the notifications through. Saddly, the watch doesn't show the message string of the notification, it only shows the name of the notification. I hope that they eventually end up patching that and adding the message in the notification too. There is still a lot of flaws that the developers need to fix, and that's likely why they have such a low rating on the google play store. For me, sometimes the notifications go through, and sometimes they do not randomly. Sometimes I get notifications from one person but I do not get notifications from another even using the same app.

Hello, that could be an issue introduced by an update to the application. I can't be of much help right now because mines got wet and ended up breaking.

Make sure your unit is not malfunctioning. Go to the zeroner app > device settings > 24 hours and turn it off

Is there a way for me to actually read the text message on the bracelet, instead of just seeing that I have a notification?

Just got my Smart Bracelet I5 but it does not power on. However, the white power indicator light that goes on when plugged into a USB port, remains on - the computer does not see a new device either. Light on the bracelet goes off after few hours BUT no LED shows up. Can't pair this with Bluetooth.
