[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Problem1: Can you drag down the notification bar and click the settings icon right above? If so then you could probably set from there the home app.

Problem2: I don't think its really important for the system to operate since lgslideaside is like an gesture app switching with 3 fingers you can switch apps if you slide your fingers to the other side so slideaside ;p

I don't know or you can reset the device with the setupwizard frozen I think you can but did you tryed to enable it from the Apps tab in the settings?

Else if setupwizard is really screwed and if its important then you could maybe push the setupwizard and the lgslideaside to your phone but you have to take it from the same rom you have but if you have stock then try to find a stock rom from the same android version and the the apk/odex. If everything doesn't work then you maybe need to flash the Stock android 4.4.2 kdz or jellybean in normal mode but This would be the last thing i would recommend to you since your phone is still booting ;p

Try my things and i hope your problem couldbe solved:good:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobe2427:
I'm fairly new to Android. I've had my S5 for about 3 weeks and like most people I have been playing around with various configurations to see what I like the most. I bricked my phone over the weekend and had to flash back to stock. Ever since I have been able to root using the NCG to NE9 method with no issues. I installed Safestrap, flashed Symbiote Syndicate to a rom slot, created a backup, deleted the rom slot and flashed over stock. All this worked with no issues. Overall I'm getting good performance but somehow I have lost root access and Towelroot won't work. I assume I was stupid and missed a step somewhere but it's happened every time I've started over the past 2 days. I tried searching the forums but couldn't find any help but I apologize in advance if I missed a thread that already answers my question.

Hello,

I am new to the site and I have just purchased myself an o2 orbit. I am really happy with it but also very keen to understand how I can enhance its performance or tweak it.

Will their be a section for this phone?

Sorry if I am being impatient but I am raring to go.

Has anyone else got this phone yet? if so what have you done with it? Also where can I buy accessories for it?

I look forward to your responses.

Orbit and TomTom

Hi

i am very new to this thread, so hello and i thank you in advance for any help people are willing to offer.

I am going to be picking my Orbit up tomorrow from my local O2 store. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that TomTom is definately included with the UK models. I have seen on a couple of forums that some people are saying it isn't.

:cool:

Obit

Hi all,

I have never owned an XDA but thought I would put a post about the Orbit that I purchased 2 days ago.

It is an excellent piece of kit .. By default it does not come with TomTom (I was offered CoPilot with a £40 contract but I already had TomTom so I declined. I have put TomTom on the device and it works brilliant .. it seems much more accurate than my palm version (probably more accurate GPS device inside).

I used TomTom for an hour today and my battery went down 2%! Brilliant.

Everything is good about the device .. the only gripe I have is that the microphone socket is mini usb (but I am sure there is a convertor out there for that).

The radio is good too (this also seems to have a minimal drain on the battery).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie3045:
So Im on Bell Mobility, I have hboot 1.57 and my firmware is the latest from Bell as I pull it out of the sense 6.0 OTA.

Im using a Telus Sense 6.0 nandroid that i put on my phone a few months back.

When using mobile data I only have see LTE (which is normal) or 3G (which is not). When I was on fully stock bell in places where i now see 3G i used to get H+. When I check network under the about section it says im connected to the HSPAP network, UMTS Network and others. I never see H+ displayed on my screen though.

I am S-Off, rooted, and unlocked. Im trying to figure out how I can get the H+ internet to display again. Would switching to supercid help? my cid now is BM___001 or whatever but the rom is TELUS001. if i switched to supercid would my phone connect to the proper mobile networks or is there something i can change in the rom to fix it.
[Other SmartWatches] acb123:
I love the way it's detachable from the strap but still looks good. Waiting for a clone to buy ;)
[Other SmartWatches] hackerse7en:
WHAT!?!?!??!?! :0

This is almost the exact copy of motorola MOTOACTV!!!!

Wtf

:eek::eek::eek:
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
Yes indeed! The Chinese have done it again. :D

Only, this is different hardware with better specs all across the board. It is a bit bulkier (13mm thick instead of 9.6mm), but for that you get a 5MP camera and full standalone ability with a pretty good built-in speaker and mic. The only thing that seems identical is the glass top, which they probably took from the discontinued Motoactv manufacturing line. It is not a coincidence that this showed up not too long after the Motoactv was discontinued…

What is without any doubt worse though, is the software it ships with. Anyone looking for a finished ready-to-use product like the Motoactv should not buy this. But once it is flashed with a better ROM, it becomes a very capable tiny wearable smartwatch.

$299 dollars on aliexpress

all these chinese watches kinda suck....

edit: this one is also standalone and costs 1/10th :)

[IMG="big watch"]http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_151081_1.jpg[/IMG]
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
Funny that you picked that one, because it was the first watch phone I had… six years ago. People had no idea what it was back then and were pretty surprised when I told it was a telephone. Was actually pretty decent as a phone, but a thick lump when worn on the wrist, and had a prehistoric operating system.
[Other SmartWatches] KOAO:
Where did you buy it?

Where did you buy this?
[Other SmartWatches] acb123:
You can get this on Taobao, or try searching the keyword abardeen on Aliexpress, the price should be around $230 or $180 ( :confused: )
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
Got this on AliExpress indeed, had to nag the reseller because availability seemed low at the moment. Availability seems better now. Try combinations of "F80", "watch", "abardeen", and "abargoo". There appear to be two variations, one with the "Abardeen" logo and one with "AbarGoo", the latter might have some extras like NFC, charging contacts at the rear, and limited 3G.
[Other SmartWatches] arovaris:
Dr. Lex i find this watch in Aliexpress for 179.00. In description, says that this watch can be used like a companion watch. Its true in your watch?
[Other SmartWatches] gerhardo:
Interesting, good review. I would like to see a comparison to a real sports watch, but that only makes sense when BTLE is supported, which requires Android 4.3 or later. KitKat is expected for MT6572 soon, maybe MediaTek has made a better job and maybe even releases sources?

Hopefully the MT watches can cooperate, as DrLex started here.

It has some extras like FM and wired headphone I could live without. My use case is as a sports watch replacing a Garmin. I miss vibration, IP67 (even if it seems decent) and a barometer, NFC (as in the AbarGoo) and ANT+ would be a big bonus too.

A Sport Watch must be possible to operate without the screen, this at least has 4 buttons. That works OK with IpBike and an adapted Xposed Additions module: I can get multi and combo actions. (A link in Omate TrueSmart thread)

I consider giving up on my Omate TrueSmart, GPS broken which is a key feature for me.

Hm, should I wait for something better or get a TomTom with barometer instead?
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
With the right app like SWApp Link installed, it should work as companion (haven't tried it). In the stock ROM there is an app that is supposed to have link functionality, but it is something custom that requires an APK to be downloaded from a Chinese only website, and manually installed on the other phone. That's probably the meaning of the description on AliExpress…
[Other SmartWatches] arovaris:
Please, can you make a YouTube review??
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
If you can wait, I won't have the opportunity to do that the next three weeks…
[Other SmartWatches] gerhardo:
There are YouTube reviews or at least presentations of SWapp Link.

The weak point is not the app but the connection between the connected devices.

The Omate TS defualt ROM did not work for me at all, the BT ROM DrLex used for the F80 should work better.
[Other SmartWatches] arovaris:
Sorry, I want a f80 YouTube review.

[Other SmartWatches] jbocreative:
I believe the PLUM GATOR uses a Mediatek MT6572A chipset too

And it seems that it has been already upgraded to Android 4.4 (Download link to the ROM...)

Search "Upgrade/Update Plum Gator 4.4.2 KitKat"

(I would I liked to post the link but ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages)

Looking forward to see that happening on the ABARDEEN F80 too.
[Other SmartWatches] arovaris:
Bad. I buyer from a aliexpress seller but bad description. pictures are "abargoo ", but watch is abardeen, without 3g. Order cancelled.

[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
Can someone kindly provide links to the cheapest one, I found $236 on AliExpress.

its ¥ 1388.00 on their site
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
Indeed, a classic problem (not only with Chinese sellers, people who import these things into the EU or USA also often do not verify the specs of what they are reselling).

You should ask the seller to make photos of what they have in stock.
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
Thanks for the help but it is no longer needed: just before I went on holiday, I figured out how to port the recovery kernel to the TWRP image from the TrueSmart custom ROM. It works! I will upload it one of the upcoming days, together with a TWRP version of the FrankenROM.

If anyone has got their hands on the AbarGoo variant of the F80, I would be highly interested in a copy of its system partition. I wonder if the lack of 3G on the Abardeen might be only a matter of lacking kernel modules/library files. Someone said that 3G should be supported by any MT6572-based phone, but I seriously doubt this. As far as I know there is always a bit of additional hardware required outside the SoC.
[Other SmartWatches] perpe:
Some weeks ago I found this site: http://www.cwtcn.com/en/design/f80.html

At the moment it's off, it is/was the homepage of Abargoo f80. At http://www.cwtcn.com/en/download.html was a ROM download. I tried to download it (out of curiosity, I don't own that device), but the download was too slow and failed on every try,

Maybe it will work again. You can also try the links without en/, then you could get the Chinese site, if it works.
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
Interesting! The site currently loads, but shows some kind of file upload button…

By the way, version 2 of the FrankenROM is now available (see original post). Next to adding TWRP recovery (and being installable through TWRP), it also fixes the incorrect shutdown that caused the charging animation to be messed up and required a forced shutdown to get into recovery. This probably also avoids some other glitches like the backlight going crazy sometimes.
[Other SmartWatches] perpe:
Yes, I saw it. http://www.cwtcn.com was down, too, but now it loads the Abardeen homepage. It was an other site before it went down. It's partially availble in Google cache -> http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...d=1&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de&client=ubuntu-browser

and the cached download site -> http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...d=1&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de&client=ubuntu-browser

The speed problems could be a baidu problem. A lot of site and file downloads from baidu servers are very slow.
[Other SmartWatches] arovaris:
Companion app is here, but in Chinese.
[Other SmartWatches] hackerse7en:
Thanks a lot for the review, the recovery and the rom ;)

i will buy mine on 21st this month,but i will buy the abardeen since i cant find abargoo(the version with nfc and 3g).

thanks, and btw, hipotheticly speaking, do you think is possible to port a 4.4 rom from another MT6572 soc to this little beast, thanks a lot ;)
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
I am starting to wonder whether the AbarGoo exists at all, aside from the prototype that can be seen on some of sales pages. I have not heard of anyone who received one, only of people who got the Abardeen. That disappearing website found by perpe, was strange too. Someone reported having an Abardeen with “AbarGoo” logo during boot, but I lost contact with that person. If anyone has a model with actual “AbarGoo” logo printed on the back and front, and can confirm that it supports 3G, we'd be glad to hear about it here…

I don't know if it is feasible to port 4.4. I'm not experienced enough to know whether binaries from 4.2 can be combined with a 4.4 system… Also, I am not sufficiently interested in trying it myself, but maybe you'll find other volunteers ;)
[Other SmartWatches] clyevo:
I have few question regarding this watch phone

I have read Dr. Lex extensive review on this phone few times in fact

I still havent decided what watch phone to buy or to wait for Gear S

The one thing i like about this phone is the fact it is detachable and has 3.5mm audio jack, that means it can be used as mp3 player with lanyard on neck

There is no other watch phone on the market that has 3.5mm audio jack apart from neptune pine.

The question is how is the audio quality if compare with any other mp3 player, and more importantly the max volume, and how long the battery last.
[Other SmartWatches] hackerse7en:
DrLex what really concerns' me is the internet although you dont have 3g, you still can acess internet from sim card?, without wifi.

Do you think an update to android 4.4 is probable? I need 4.4 to make sure my bluetooth smart heart rate sensor works.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
What is the IP rating?
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
There is no information about that (which almost certainly means it is not IP67, otherwise they would be proud to mention that). My wet-finger guess (pun intended) would be IP66. I wouldn't submerge it in anything deeper than 15cm, and not longer than a few seconds.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
DrLex you wrote:

"My biggest gripes with the hardware, are the lack of 3G/4G connectivity, the subpar cell phone signal reception which can lead to poor sound quality and drop-outs during calls, and the lack of a vibrator."

I can live with 2G, the call quality issue is a bummer though, any fixes or way round it, i mean how poor is sound quality? What's your thoughts on this?

Has anyone else tried the call quality?
[Other SmartWatches] acb123:
Not 2 rocks, but I guess what you receive will be a totally different watch to what you are expecting, considering the look and the strap of the one you purchased.
[Other SmartWatches] hackerse7en:
ah?? whats wrong with the straps?
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
If its not as described you just ask for a refund, AliEx is good for that.
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
Well, as long as you make calls in a place with good cell signal strength, there are no problems. But the F80 has worse sensitivity than other phones. It is probably a combination of its tiny size, its metal casing, and not too good antenna placement. Buzzing can be heard on outgoing audio when signal strength is borderline, but it is not as bad as on many other watch phones where the buzzing drowns out the voice altogether.

From test calls and looking at signal strength in engineer mode, I can tell that the worst way to make calls is to wear the phone on the wrist. This is something I have experienced with every watch phone I have owned so far, and it makes sense because an arm is a chunk of signal-absorbing meat large enough to interfere with the wavelengths of GSM signals. This is yet another reason why I want a detachable watch phone.

Signal strength is best when keeping all body parts away from the phone, e.g. placing it on a table and not touching it. Holding it with two fingers is also OK. If you hold it close to your ear, it seems best to keep the display pointed away from your head, probably because the device has a metal casing and all signals need to go through the screen.

I can live with the mediocre phone signal reception because I do not often make voice calls. I mostly text and use it as an internet device, and for those things it is excellent. If you really want a watch phone that performs well as a phone, I would recommend the IKWear IK8. It performed really well when I tested it and it had no buzzing noise at all. But, it is not detachable.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
Thanks Alex :D - i'm on your site looking at the IKWEAR IK8.

From all the Stand-alones you've had, what's the best battery life watch?
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
That would be the first one, the Nova N800, although the MQ668 came close. But you don't want either of those, as the N800 is a 6-year-old model and the MQ668 is full of bugs and falls apart after a few months of usage.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
..and from the newer watches that you've tried, which has better battery life?
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
That is difficult to tell because it depends heavily on how you use the watch. The ZGPAX S5 can be easily dismissed because it is basically a small electric heater. Between the IK8 and F80, the IK8 (at least when equipped with a 700mAh battery) wins by a small margin, probably because it has a better antenna and therefore needs less power for its transmitter. I haven't used the IK8 beyond the short time I reviewed it, but during a simple test where I left it mostly alone with only the phone system enabled (and turned off at night), it lasted slightly longer than three days.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
I see, it depends mostly on the battery, the IK8 seems decent but the Bluetooth is (most likely) on BT.4, right?

So I might go for the Unova Iron man or a similar one. As they have 650 0r 600 mAh battery.

The Z15 or Z01 (same watch) are cheaper, and the Iron man is being $200 but IP67 and slightly better spec'.

Thanks for your help. :D shame i cant live with the poor call quality of the F80, else it very good. :good:
[Other SmartWatches] DrLex:
The IK8 is based on MT6577. According to spec sheets it should support BT4, but I'm not sure whether that guarantees that any phone built with that chipset supports it. If you have any way of checking it, I still haven't sold my IK8…

The mAh value is only a rough indication of how long a phone can last on a charge (and to make things worse, some Chinese are not afraid of printing a higher number than the true capacity). How long a phone will last on one charge, depends on many factors like how efficient the hardware and software is, and what you do with it. For instance the ZGPAX S5 can also be equipped with a 700mAh battery but that will still not get it through one day on normal usage.

If you're going to buy any random Chinese watch phone, chances are unfortunately pretty high that call quality will be bad. I recommend finding a review of whatever you plan to buy, or at least make sure you can get a refund ;)
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
Thank you x2 ? I emailed you, sorry for the duplication.

Its hardwork trying to find a decent standalone to use as an occasional phone. The Unova Ironman is same as the Omate so the Omates thread should reveal some info.
[Other SmartWatches] perpe:

[MENTION=3460902]hackerse7en[/MENTION] - when are you expecting your watch to be delivered?

I've ordered (a different watch) from the same seller.
[Other SmartWatches] gerhardo:
That is a Umeox x202, a slight upgrade to the Umeox x201 that exists in many variants (Omate TrueSmart, Callisto 100, Pearl Simvalley etc).

The x202 is adding a 320x320 screen (the one you are referring to has still 240x240), KitKat, proximity sensor etc, basically the same PCB supposedly.

There are many complaints on the TrueSmart. Most due to delays and specifications not as in KickStarter. There has been HW quality problems too. I got a replacement, the alu version w 1 GB RAM, similar to the Unova Ironman. The call quality is not great, but much better than the early items that were unusable. My biggest complaint is the Android variant for the TrueSmart, but there are some uncompilable source floating around, that should be usable for the F80 too. Dont know if that solves the TS issues. Have not seen any Unova IronMan review.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
In the end i decided not to buy the IronMan 240 res, due to the issues.
[Other SmartWatches] gerhardo:
Dont mix unhappy Kickstarters with early devices and the HW quality.

The Omate (and other Umeox I assume) may not have the quality of Chinese brands like Oppo, but I doubt the latest batches has worse HW quality than a regular Chinese device. The quality issues are on the SW side, shared with the F80 it seems. The device makers seem to mostly use the crappy Mediatek builds (they may not have the source even), so that is shared with most devices.

I posted in this topic as there is a common interest in getting MT6572 devices ported to KitKat, most have similar problems.
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
You're quite right software issues are the main hurdle. You see I have the added disadvantage of not being a developer so i can't fix software issues which means if no one else fixes an issue then I'm stuck. So i can only buy a watch once its been reviewed. Hence i couldn't buy the Unova Ironman.

In the end i purchased the IKWEAR IK8 only because its was $70, call quality is good and big battery.
