Update. My u8 pro keeps freezing, rebooting and unpairing by itself. Odd. The U8 never did that. And battery seems to drain super fast. Like a day. Think I am gonna sell it. Oh well.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

Whomever has the u8 pro. Can u tell me once your in messages program. Then click on inbox and then you hit the side button. Does it turn off the watch. Mine seems to like do a soft boot after that every time.

music
[Other SmartWatches] alakimaki:
If i have pedometer or sleep monitor on battery will last one day, maybe 3-4 days without. i doubt you would get a days worth by listening to music. on android 4.0 you can select from bluetooth settings whether music and calls go to bluetooth. i think you might need to have at least one selected to get notifications. try disabling bluetooth and enabling again and it might connect back.

i think the u8 driver should work for u8 pro as well. maybe the download agent does not work or some flashtool setting is wrong. i get some kind of ram error iirc.

as far as 3.5 jack goes..

thank you
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
I think I got a bad battery. Pedometer and sleep timer off and battery barely last a day.

Thanks both for your answers...... Have ordered the watch.... Hopefully be here in a couple of days

So i have found 4 versions of BT notify.. Seems like 1.3.21 works the best for me.. Everything works and seems faster..

The latest version 3.01, the remote camera didn't work.

Here are the links

[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
these are for the u pro right? not for the u8?
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
It's universal. I use to have u8 now I have u8 pro. It works for both.
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
oh ok, thanks for the links!
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
This may be off topic but wanted to ask. So on android. Is there a way to make a certain bluetooth the default connection. Since watch is connected, when u walk into my car. I want my car bluetooth to activate instead of the watch? Is there a setting or app? Or if someone knows how to use tasker program well? Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
well is the bluetooth in your car for music or phone calls? i have my bluetooth headphones and watch synced at the same time and when i play music on my music app (shuttle+) it prioritizes the headphones before the watch. and i have media and phone audio enabled for the watch but only media audio enabled for the headphones. idk if it would work the same for you car though.
[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
customised alarm files

I

The btnotifier on the above link seems to work best yet.

It is possible to set the alarm on the watch to any small .mp3 file you choose by moving the file into the photo folder in the watch using the supplied USB cable and a computer. The watch must be off when doing this. I say small .mp3 file because there is not much room on the watch.

I tried putting it in the download folder but the file didn't seem to be viewable. I now get the watch to bug me by telling me to take my medication in my own voice.

So in my car. I want it to play music and receive phone calls. For my watch I only want phone calls. No music. therefore music is unchecked under bluetooth settings. But let say I walk into my car with my watch on. It will activate the music part but not the phone calls. Phone calls still go thru the watch which is what I don't want. I tried some app call bluetooth auto connect but still can't seem to get it to work.

[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
yeah, i dont think it will do it automatically, ill keep messing with my headphone and watch combo and see if i can get it automatically prioritize my bluetooth devices. doing it manually works but it's definitely a hassle and annoyance. i'll post back if i find anything.
[Other SmartWatches] hcsceo:
My U8 Pro came in today. It seems to work just fine. Like the others have mentioned if a call comes in and you pick it up with your phone then the audio will be on the phone. If you answer on the watch then it will be on the watch. Same with placing calls. One thing that I noticed is that my watch does not have "sleep monitor" or "remote camera" on it. There might be some other features it's missing but immediately I noticed that. Do you guys know if there is firmware available?
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
can you list all the apps you have? and i dont know about firmware, my watch doesnt have the ability to reply to texts. when i try to reply there is only a "forward" option. and when i do try to send texts it sends the text to myself. there is also no option to see what version firmware you're running so im not sure as to how you would upgrade the firmware if you have no idea what version you have.
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
very odd... seems like u guys have diff firmwares... on my watch.. everything works... i can reply to text, remote camera, sleep monitor, etc...

Hope you guys are talking about the u8 pro and not the regular u8, because the regular u8 cannot reply to text... thats why i upgraded to pro

Here are the programs i have on u8 pro:

call, messaging, phonebook, call history, image viewer, FM radio, audio player, camera, alarm, stopwatch, settings, bluetooth, notice, anti lost, pedometer, personal, car theft, find phone, remote camera, sleep monitor...
[Other SmartWatches] my2234:
bt notifier

If after you have loaded btnotify app using the link in this thread make sure that play store is not automatically updating it to a version that is not as compatible with the watch.
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
i have the u8 pro (check pictures in my previous post) but i guess i have an older firmware or something. i have the same apps as you as well but i still cannot reply to texts, texting in general just doesnt work for me which is sad because that was one of 3 reasons why i got the u8 pro over the u8

i still have the one i posted in my earlier post and i have playstore set to not automatically update apps (i chose when to update them)
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
Sure u already know. But I can only text with messaging app. Not the notice app.
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
yeah im using the messaging app. i tried again right now and i can send texts through the "write message" option but i cant go into the inbox and reply to a text
[Other SmartWatches] riahim:
I'm able to reply to texts. So you don't have the option reply? What do you see if you go to your inbox, open up a message, and hold the screen for the options to come up? My first option is reply. I'm not sure what version I have as I have no idea where to view this but if I find out, I'll let you know what version I'm running.

edit: I can't send a reply through the notifications either, just through messaging
[Other SmartWatches] hcsceo:
Yes mine is a pro version. It has 4 clock faces, call, messaging, phone book, call history, image viewer, fm radio, audio player, camera, alarm, stopwatch, settings, Bluetooth, notice, anti lost, pedometer, personal.

It's like I'm missing one screen of apps. All functions work including reply in the messaging center. Any ideas? I'm going to try a reset.

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

I just reset to factory defaults and still missing the screen with sleep and remote camera.
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
when i long hold the a text in the messaging app, i only have the options to forward, delete and details. (see photo:http://i.imgur.com/MtHP2Ye.jpg) and that is in the messaging app.

edit: also, i cant seem to get the "anti lost" nor the "find my phone" app to work, any body else have this problem? i left my phone in the car when i went to class yesterday and had to walk all the way back to my car to get it. the app would have helped me out but idk why it doesnt work :/ (and yes i have it enabled)

bt notifier

Can't get any of your links to actually download anything, where is the original link for 1321 version?
[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
Can you get into the file dropper website? I accessed from desktop and mobile chrome and it worked.

One thing to bear in mind is that the catcha code is case sensitive.

I don't have 1.3.21,but here is the official link for 1.3.20

http://dl.vmall.com/c0wl4l104v

Edit, found this on the playstore.... Seems to work well.. Is the 3.02 firmware. Am waiting to receive a notification to see if it displays as much info as the mediatek one- edit it displays sender and subject from Gmail app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bt.smartwatch

The Dev also has another app, but doesn't seem to have as many options
[Other SmartWatches] ahdelarge:
Hi all, I found this forum while searching for info on the U8 Pro watch and thought I better sign up after my watch arrived.

Very happy with the smartwatch for the price. The battery lasted around 4 days with minimal usage which I thought was pretty good.

I originally downloaded the Mediatek app on my Samsung Note 3, but after pairing the watch, it wasn't displaying text messages or notifications, but I was able to use it as a phone paired with my Note 3. When I tried to check text messages, I was greeted with a QR code and a message to download the app from the manufacturer.

I have since downloaded the Notification app on the Play Store mentioned in the quoted text above (as I am a new user, it isn't letting me paste a URL). I now get my notifications, but I have to navigate through the menus to see the notifications and text messages. Is there a way for the messages to automatically appear on the watch screen without wading through the menus? I thought I may have missed something.

Regards,

Adam.
[Other SmartWatches] bustanut666:
From what I remember. The original u8 display info when it comes in but the u8 pro doesn't. Sucks.
[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
Yeah, the pro doesn't automatically display what the notification is.... You have to find the notice section on the watch.

Might be that a firmware update would fix.... But nobody seems to know where to get pro firmware, or if it shares same firmware with u8.
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
i have the pedometer switch on (the one that allows the screen to come on when you lift your hand up) and then i launch the "notice" app and let the screen time out/turn off (not touching the button to turn the screen off) and so when i raise my hand i can read what notifications come through but if i need to see the time i push the button and then raise my hand at the same time so that the clock appears first. its a little complicated but it works.
[Other SmartWatches] ahdelarge:
changed afficr

This is perfect! I had the notice app open and during my drive to work this morning, my watch vibrated and by the time I had checked my wrist, the message was up and I could quickly glance at my phone at the traffic lights.

Did the original U8 have the contents of the message in the notification or just a generic message to say a text message had arrived?

Cheers!

Adam.
[Other SmartWatches] mahnameisjaime1:
yeah i do the same thing when i drive, it comes in handy. i dont like to be distracted when i drive, i never touch my phone when i drive, so sometimes i miss out on things. last time i was driving home from school and i got a text 5 minutes from the school, when i finally got to read it at home it turned out to be my friend who needed a ride home from school (the drive is about 35 minutes) so he ended up having to get a ride from some one else, but if i had the watch at that time i could have turned around and picked him up. this is one of 3 reasons why i got this watch.

and the regular u8 showed the contents like the the u8 pro but it would come on with or without the app running. so you can see the u8 and the u8 pro each have their own pros and cons
[Other SmartWatches] ahdelarge:
I'm tempted to get a regular U8 as a comparison. My dad was excited about the FM radio in the watch and wanted me to get him one. haha

My only complaint: a calculator would have been handy and for some reason, my clock keeps jumping forward an hour. Does anyone have any ideas on why that would be happening?

Cheers!

Adam.

Thanks for that, have ordered one. Will be good to have a spare as am bound to lose the original.
[Other SmartWatches] riahim:
How do you check what firmware the watch is running.

I tried connecting the watch to my pc and the only way for the pc to even recognize the watch is to have the watch off. Even then, I can't find much. Just 3 folders(@playlists,download,photos), phb_video.dat, and a bunch of sleepdata text files. Also, the pc sees the watch as "product". Maybe I don't have the right drivers, but could anyone shed some light?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] riahim:
Anyone?
[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
I don't think it's possible unfortunately. The normal u8 has an option under settings, but we don't. I thought about emailing the manufacturer but they don't have an email address listed.

I might be wrong but don't think pro is high on their list of priorities.... Bt notifier app hasn't been updated on their website since March.
[Other SmartWatches] jimacid:
guys i just saw this smartwatch in a greek electronics-computers megastore.

is it the u8 pro clock????
[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
Yes, it looks like it. Specs seem to match and buttons/camera are in the right place
[Other SmartWatches] ahdelarge:
Could someone please post an image of what an incoming text message looks like on the regular U8 watch?

And what happened to the Mickey Mouse watch face??? So disappointed that it shows in all the promo images, but not included in the watch. haha

Cheers!

Adam.
[Other SmartWatches] jimacid:
ok so if it really is the same watch, there is a good thing and a bad thing about the watch.

the good one is that in the photo it appears to have a different clock face and it has greek language too so the guys from the megastore has made a new rom for their branded watch.

with a little luck we may be able to get the rom from them.

now the bad thing is that this specific megastore along with the other products orders massive units of china oem devices and brands them as Turbo-X

the thing is that all the turbo-x products is way to ****ty to go and buy them.

all the turbo-x stuff is probably the worst products ever manufactured and the u8pro watch now seems to be one of the turbo-x devices... :crying:

definately a deal breaker for any greek guy who knows the turbo-x devices quality...
[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
The clock face is the same as what I have (see photo).

Because it's in Greek just means they have updated language strings, not a new rom, but definitely worth asking.

Looking at the photos again, and is Def the same watch so build quality will be the same as everyone's.... And I am happy with mine (yes the strap isn't great, but it doesn't look like it will break)... Screen is good, and feels solid.

One thing I'll add is that 99 euro is way to expensive for this watch (double what I paid here in the uk).... Shop around.... Try eBay and aliexpress for example
[Other SmartWatches] jimacid:
also i just saw this "new" u8 watch pro in ebay...

has anybody seen it or knows anything about it?
[Other SmartWatches] standef:
I believe this is the old U8 NOT the U8 Pro.

Spec look the old U8
[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
Agreed, specs seem wrong and there is also no mention of a new u8 pro on manufacturer website.... Dodgy ebayer me thinks
[Other SmartWatches] jimacid:
yeah my bad... i was fooled of the photos. now that i checked again the simple u8 watch it really seems the same.

can you please post again the manufacturer website? im not sure i have it

Watch bricked?

Hey guys, I was wearing my U8 Pro around for a few hours and when I next tried to use it the screen was just black. Unresponsive to the power button and touchscreen. Initially, I had though it had suddenly run out of battery. However, I had used the stock cable to charge it and the watch screen just flashes white for a second and goes back to black. I tested the cable on other devices and they charge fine. Anyone has a solution to my problem? It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)
[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
Haven't heard of this exactly, might be a faulty watch..... But 2 things you can try are the reset hole on the side of the watch and also try a battery pull (leave battery out for a couple of mins)
[Other SmartWatches] Airith:
This seems to be the only thread on the internet actually talking about this smart watch. I just bought a regular U8 (M28_KHR.CN1.V019) and installed the SmartWatch app (4.1.0) but I can't seem to get the sleep monitor function to work. The sport function works fine, although it's not very accurate. The sleep monitor seems to hang and when I go anywhere else in the app it reverts to the sport function.

Can someone explain how to get this function working? If you can explain how the U8 Pro's sleep monitor function works that might be helpful too.

also is there a way to keep clock on all times??

thanks in advance!

[Other SmartWatches] Kev23:
I am pretty sure that android won't allow you to connect to more than one device at a time.

You can alter the time out settings to a max of 60 seconds, but you can't leave on permanently (it would kill your battery anyway) . There is a pedometer setting that will activate the display when you raise your wrist ,but I can't get it to work reliably.
[Other SmartWatches] ntreik:
Yep but the watch has a sim. can't we connect the headset to watch only?

Screen Protectors?

Has anyone found any screen protectors that fit the U8 Pro? Or is a screen protector unneccessary? I don't want to take the film off of it just incase its a cheap piece of glass that scratches easily... and I'm not sure which popular watch screen is closest in size to this watch. Any suggestions would be most helpful.

So far I like the watch for the price (its just a little more than some of the cheaper throw away watches I get at target) Money well spent, just had to wait for like 3 weeks before it arrived from china...
