Thx a lot. Band successfully flashed in English version. Actually I have a notification that new update is available, should I update or ignore it? Also can't use the weather info since my city is not in China. Is there any fix for this?

Hey Plus Flash will always say you have an update, after flash use a other Hey Plus (English, French, ...).

For weather, only available for China, maybe for all in futur.

Hi. Thx a lot for your help. Is it possible to customize the background to put our own instead of the presets one?

Yes you can, in "Dials", "All", "New". You need uninstall one of default dial in first ("Dials", "Edit").

Install Hey Plus Application and pair your Smartband .

That's the problem. I've tried all possible Hey+ App versions, I simply can't pair.

 

[joaootavioba]

I've tried with Chinese and English app. The QR code screen persists, that's the key point.
The app spins and turns and does not recognize my gadget.
Can I reset Hey+ in any way? (Sorry for my english)

You need to have a Chinese number, apparently. My seller provided me with it, so you might as well ask you seller
