download the google search .apk (newest version) to phone (i like to use the download folder in phone its makes it easyer to find in phone) with your phone open the smanager app use remote file manager

click the three white dots at the top right click send file select sdcard0 then find were you placed the google search.apk (in my case i told it to go to teh download folder) in your phone

when you find the apk click it it will bluetooth transfer the apk to your watch when it is done

Part 2 go into your watch opens apps look for file manager in watch click phone storage look for were you put the search apk (remember i used the download folder) then click the apk then it will prompt you to install app click install the there you go

p.s dont install every app you see because some apps will crash the watch even popular apps (mostly apps that look at your contacts these apps really screw the watch up) skype works but contacts in watch will no longer work once installed (untill you uninstall)gmail works chrome works google maps works (do not turn on gps you can only look at the maps you can not do a gps search with google maps) it will crash the watch gps function is kinda of a joke in this watch

or

in watch under dev options turn on usb debugging

unplug then replug in the watch to pc it will ask to turn on usb storage click it then the watch files will pop up on the pc drag the apks to the watch then just follow

part 2

yes dont try to root it its pointless at this point and risky

install google search apk it is the only app that comes close to a keyboard that can work in this watch

do not leave wifi on in watch if your not using wifi it will kill the watch very fast

i know when you first get it its a new toy and your gonna play with it for awhile but they ship the watch completely dead so let it fully charger before you play and remember if you try to use this watch as a extra android device to browse the web or emails 30 times a day and not just as a watch it will only last about 4 hours if that

If anyone wants to type on a field on the swatch, when you are on it , on the swatch manager on the phone will open a window to type on the phone keyboard , it is not necesary to have a keyboard on the swatch
[Other SmartWatches] coolkid893:
lol ya we know that but its a pain in the a** were talking about a keyboard in the watch

New gear 3 clone? http://www.pandawill.com/atongm-sma...ch-touch-screen-with-camera-black-p91841.html
[Other SmartWatches] MrRimmer:
Looks a bit rubbish compared to the K2.
[Other SmartWatches] lukesan:
Finally mine is ordered via Aliexpress and I hope it will be here this week, so it looks I will be joining in.

Hopefully it pairs fine with the Oneplus One on ColorOS
[Other SmartWatches] dbz2020:
I've had the K2 for about a month now, and I ordered a similar watch to the one on Pandawill about a week ago. When the new one gets in, I guess I'll be able to tell if it is as nice as the K2's build and write a post about the comparison.

But I like the look. K2=Original Galaxy Gear Clone

PIctured one = Galaxy 2 clone

For me, this means new style no longer has speaker in the watch band clasp (so I could potentially change the band now - not so on the K2), and there is no more camera buldge as it is in the band.

I won't know the true specs till mine comes in. Not sure the Pandawill one is the same as the LX36 mentioned in this post (looks identical, but specs are all over the place). The one I ordered from DHGate says it has bluetooth 4.0 and Tizen OS - believe it or not. I suspect they may have just copied the look of Tizen.

For me the K2 build feels nice, but I've had ongoing trouble getting the sync app to work or even install. I also have the same problem that I've seen reported about the "wrist wakeup" function not working. It functioned for about a day, then would not work at all since. This is strange since the compass and the g-sensor both seem functional. The pedometer will record steps, the compass shows correct directions, and the screen will rotate if I have that option selected. I'm going to try the two APK files associated with the watch on the Pandawill site to see if they will sync with the K2, which should tell me if they are similar or even same watch repackaged.
[Other SmartWatches] anomal:
I have tried both apk from pandawill and does not synchronize with the k2, the V 4 X X asks for a login, the V3.xx no.
[Other SmartWatches] gavin-phelan:
So which one worked for u
[Other SmartWatches] dbz2020:
Neither worked for me. You can get around the v4 login request by pressing the link at the bottom of the app - I think it says "try again" or something like that, but it actually takes you into the app interface. It looks interesting, but without being able to pair, I couldn't really tell how well any of it worked. I did notice that the app splash screen shows 2 devices, one a fitness armband kind of think and the other a smartwatch that looks suspiciously like the U8 smartwatch. It makes me wonder if this app was meant for one of those devices, or if the Pandawill version is a re-styled version of the U8. Time will tell what I get when my watch comes in - shipping Singapore post to the US, which I've been told is very, very slow - even compared to packages from China post, which I know for a fact are very slow.

Like other post I've read, and I've posted this myself above, the auto-backlight feature of this watch seems questionable at best.

About the only thing I've reliably noticed is that when I have the feature activated, and am typing on my computer, the watch display will come on every so often - so much so that my battery runs down very quickly if I am doing a lot of typing at work, because the backlight comes on almost as soon as it goes to sleep.

Anyway, I just about gave up on the feature (I don't give up easily) when I thought it must have something to do with the angle of my wrist and the small jerky motions when I type, because no amount of lifting my wrist, shaking the watch, or otherwise tapping on the watch screen or camera (saw that in the review video) seemed to reliably activate the watch screen.

So, eliminating all the rest, I thought maybe the g-sensor might be off calibration somehow. I think I recall some similar device needing to be placed on a flat surface while being powered up in order to calibrate the g-sensor. I tried that by turning off the watch, placing face down on a flat desk (you cannot see the screen in this position), and then powering the watch back on - making sure to give it enough time to boot completely before touching it.

Well that seemed to make a huge difference. I am now able to reliably trigger the backlight. It seems very sensitive, and at least somewhat dependent on the angle of the watch face (about 35 degrees from horizontal for me). When held at that angle and ever so slightly "jiggle" my wrist, the watch will light up. This is very repeatable in my case.

In order to test, I repeated my calibration, this time with the watch face held as close to vertical as I could while re-powering. This seemed to have a different, but still repeatable affect on the angle and movement needed to wake the watch face.

Now I just need a few others to try this "calibration" method and see if this helps with the auto-wake feature...
[Other SmartWatches] Originalkingpin:
k2 in US

see many on China sites, where you can buy in the U.S. takes to long for shipping from China. Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
I tried your suggested "calibration" steps, both of them not successful for me. No gesture wakes up my watch. I also tried several apps (like WakeUp Screen, Shake Screen-On), but nothing works... I kind of gave up on that feature...
[Other SmartWatches] dbz2020:
Thanks for trying. Yes, I gave up as well, but it's so inconvenient to have to press the button all the time just to see the time, especially if I'm writing or doing something else where a "normal" watch you just need to glance at. It was also troublesome to me that when I had the feature turned on, it would not work no matter what I did, except when I was typing, and noticing that the watch was coming on all the time. It's even more frustrating when my Zwatch only takes me bringing the watch up to activate, and works 100% of the time.

Anyway, as an update, I continued to try the wake feature for a while, and noticed that it would not work at all if I was in motion. I literally had to be still while making the gesture. It does seem the 35 degree angle was intended, as this happened to be just about the most natural angle of my wrist when I would look at the watch without thinking. Also seems to be the natural angle of my wrist (in the opposite direction) when I am typing. I could get it to work consistently as long as I held it at the angle, it did not even take much motion to activate.

However, eventually the wake feature stopped working again. I turned it off/on again in the settings, it works for a few hours, and then stopped working again. So, I've managed to find the WAY to activate the wake feature reliably, but some process on the watch must be freezing or blocking the process responsible for the wake function.

So far I have not tried to root or add apps to this watch, so maybe I haven't given up completely yet. The watch seemed so much more useful just with the addition of this one function.
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
I'm also interested in what are the differences in the several build numbers/models. I saw that many people have build number and model which begins with "02_sw_jbl", while mine is "02_sw_jh". As the major difference I just found out that mine did not have a browser installed from the beginning (and the motion gesture does not work). My full build number is: 02_sw_jh_20140509 . And I can not find any updates.

What are your build numbers?
[Other SmartWatches] standef:
02_sw_jbl_20140613

Motion gesture does not work on mine either.

Bluetooth randomly disconnects ( and then reconnects) al the time.

I lose a lot of push notifications because it's not connected.

Have to go in to accessibility on my phone and re-connect

'advanced notification' It says its on but it really isn't.

Seller of phone has not addressed the issues I am having saying they will contact manufacturer. Yeah right....

When it works it's a nice BUT....... these issues need to be addressed.
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
What phone do you have? As somebody already wrote in this thread, Bluetooth is not one of many MediaTek SoCs biggest strengths. I used the watch with my THL W200 (MTK6589T) and it worked fine for a day or two, then several reconnects and connections losses per day, untill I resetted the watch/application again. With my new phone UMI X1 Pro (MTK6582) the connection has been much (!) more stable over a week now...

[Other SmartWatches] miklosandras:
Yesterday I received my own swatch from AliExpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DHL-...ch-watch-gear-camera-wifi-gps/1991456772.html

My full build number is: 02_sw_jh_20140702 :)

I will try to save the firmware, when I will have time.
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
Yes, that would be nice, that seems to be the newest I have seen around.

To come back to the Motion Wake Up feature: I updated to the ROM from needrom (02_sw_jbl_20140613), and its working perfectly (although i modified the ROM in order to remove the GAPPS, will upload it later also to needrom). So it seems it does not matter if you originally have the jbl or jh model. But now finally the Wake Up feature started working!!! Well, lets not say its working perfectly, but it at least sometimes works! And I could exactly experience what dbz2020 wrote: The position booting seems to have an influence. Then for a while it works (yes, especially while typing for me too :D), but suddenly it stops.

I also noticed different SWatchManager apk's between the versions, but did not really experience any differences in the app yet.
[Other SmartWatches] arovaris:
Well, o hads this version, but motion works only in beginning of activation for me.
[Other SmartWatches] lukesan:
Just received mine today. It's a mlais and has firmware 02_sw_jbl_mlais_20140611

I haven't been browsing through the forum yet but it seems wise to fully back it up before I start playing with it.
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
Wow, there seem to be even more names for it. I didnt know this one, Mlais Watch (http://gadget-help.com/smart-watches-mlais-watch-for-80-photo/). The interesting thing, there is a rom for it on needrom:

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/mlais-watch/ (02_sw_jbl_mlais_20140611)

Who flashes it and tells us their experience :D?
[Other SmartWatches] lukesan:
I have it LOL.

Well I finally ordered from this seller http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6178033788.html

I must say, very correct and fast response to emails.

Device was updated, put in English and tested before shipped. As a matter of fact it was still in Singapore yesterday morning which is unbelievable.

Seems I will buy more stuff from this shop (wife will kill me tonight)
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
Hahah :D.

Can you tell us what kind of application you have installed on the watch? And if you activate the "Wake Up"-Feature in Settings->Motions, can you wake up the screen by shaking or similiar (and does it work constant?)? Would be nice to know if it's worth it flashing ;).
[Other SmartWatches] lukesan:
I think it has exactly the same apps as the other ones, probably it's a standard image with another bootscreen. I activated motion but it seems to do it's own things. mmm maybe the motion sensors are not calibrated.

Will check that tonight if I have time.
[Other SmartWatches] lukesan:
Ok, rooted and all, pretty damn easy.

Now the lol part. want to test the FM receiver? Download MTK engineer mode on the play store and switch on the FM receiver. Just insert the usb charging cable and you have your receiver. Plays music over the speaker. edit: also found a working fm tuner in my build

I find the wifi to be pretty sensitive.

Google voice search works so you don't actually have a watch, just say 'what time is it?'

GPS works but I need to fiddle a bit with that since a lock takes a while.

Now that motion thing, rather have something like double tab to wake.

You absolutely need a BT keyboard since pressing back on my onscreen kb is mega frustrating. Any other option?
[Other SmartWatches] standef:
Install the fleksy keyboard. Respond very accurately even with large fingers.
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
LOL. Just tried that part with the USB cable as receiver cable and it works damm fine. WTF :D. Never would have come on that clue, many thanks :D.

Is the double tap constant working for you? My waking up feature stops after lets say an hour or so most of the time...
[Other SmartWatches] lukesan:
Is there a double tab on your phone?
[Other SmartWatches] standef:
This is the way to go ( double tap) if someone knows an app that will do it.. please pass it on!
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
Ah no, sorry, I missunderstood your post, I thought your watch would something like that. I tried many shake to wake up apps from the store, but none of them work. It seems like for external apps the sensor stops sending data when going to sleep.

Does any one can tell me how to install a system app on this watch. For some reason my stopwatch and timer is gone. Found out that it is the deskclock.apk. tried it to reinstall by hand or via adb and even just copy with a root file manager into system/app and set permissions good. But no go.

Also just cleared cache and davik - cache and rebooted. But still no go.

Some help is really appreciated.

Does anyone have a reputable source to buy this watch? It seems to be out of stock at all the typical outlets and I can't seem to find it on ebay, despite it's million different names. Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] falum:
In hind sight I think I would buy a galaxy gear and root and install null rom. You have freedom of root and gear manager to install official watch apps.
[Other SmartWatches] kram12085:
And by doing so it can be used with non-Galaxy Android phones? I don't have a Galaxy so I've mostly ignored Samsung watches, and almost no other watches have a camera.
[Other SmartWatches] falum:
Good point. Looking in the gear forums there is varying mileage using non Samsung phones.

Does anyone know how to add wallpaper to this watch?
[Other SmartWatches] dbz2020:
I just got my watch (ordered through DHGATE), of the one on pandawill mentioned above and sometimes described as the LX36. Mine has almost the same contents as pictures on the pandawill site, but box says "x-watch" on it instead of atongm. Screen shots and feature set is exactly as pictured on the pandawill site, but DHGATE description was very off in several instances (watch does not seem to be BLE, have a heart rate monitor, or have wifi).

My suspicion is that the LX36 is a repackaged U8. There are even some virtual buttons (you cannot see them, but they are there) on the face of the watch. This is mainly based on the fact that the U8 appears in the splash screen for the APK contained within the watch, and that the U8 APK works with this watch.

All in all I am very disappointed in this watch (I also have a metawatch frame, zWatch, and Star K2). The build quality is somewhere between the zWatch and the Star K2 (metawatch is very professional "tank", and not anything like these others). I like the build of the K2 better, but the styling of the LX36 is better since it has a simpler band and all electronics are in the watch body.

My disappointment is that this does not seem to be an android based watch, there seems to be no wifi or browser support. There is no wake feature, the notifications and usefulness of the features seems very limited. Surprisingly, this watch works with the iphone (4s in my case), but only as a remote headset, so you can dial and answer calls (there is mic and speaker). It even syncs the address book, but there are no notifications or other interaction possible. You can also control music on the phone from the watch, but no files I put on it locally would play or even show up in the media player local list. Pretty much the same functionality with android, except the APK to send notifications.

Since this watch is not waterproof, I decided to go ahead and open it up to see what was inside (sorry no pics). The last surprise I got was that this watch was advertised with 8GB of storage. Given that the K2 and zWatch both actually have less storage available than advertised, I was shocked to see an actual 8GB micro SD card (sandisk no less) in a locking holder on the watch motherboard. I did not check to see if the watch would recognize anything larger - I didn't see the point since the watch doesn't even seem good as a media player.
