Hi there, from this point of view I can share just my subjective own opinion, even if my watch is not a DZ09 I have opted for its firmware and well I did, much better antenna, easy to customize themes and watchfaces, since I have it no flaws at all, menu is customizable and extendable, accepts applications (gt08 doesn't) and last but not the least battery had a jump with at least 25% (one day more) from the moment I've replaced the firmware in my watch

Now, more than functionality it is a matter of taste. . .
[Other SmartWatches] xeph20:
Yeah I was actually thinking about getting that one

It's also the cheapest at the moment from the watches with the same cpu

And I guess the dz09 firmware will work better on a dz09 than on a Gt08 :P

Is there a lot of support for the dz09 though? Because I often see Gt08 posts mainly because of you but almost never dz09

I don't want to miss you :D

Update:

I wonder how the battery in dz09 will manage because you say with dz09 firmware u get 25% better battery life. And dz09 also has a 380mah battery instead of the Gt08 350mah wich us also a small 10% diffrence
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Man, I'm here on GT08 thread , DZ09 one as some threads I've started lately

As news, now I can MOD a firmware that way to make theme backgrounds and watchfaces replaceble

If you want to play with others firmwares, i have gathered already a impressive collection

For all these, flashing, MODing and so on you have to prepare a computer with XP SP3 or W7, anything above is not working

I wouldn't take literally what they say about capacity, I've made some math researches and the battery for GT08 for instance has about 400mAh, better we talk about how the main firmware programmer managed the energy balance

So, welcome to the club!
[Other SmartWatches] xeph20:
Oh I see.

Still hope the battery would be better though :)

For some reason the cheapest dz09 won't ship to My country it says but it think it's a bug...

Pff it seems like aliexpress doesn't want me to have a Smartwatch :P
[Other SmartWatches] xeph20:
Do you know anything about the JV08S? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-...52&btsid=17fd6333-6d53-4343-8542-6b4e07e26737

It looks a lot like DZ09 all the same specs that i can see but is a bit cheaper and has speakers on the front (good for music listnening i guess) And i think the DZ09 firmware will also work on it but i'm not sure :/

what do you think?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Its firmware is taken from Aplus GV08, those holes are just for design, the watch has speakers based on resonance box concept, you'll not be able to detect from where is coming the sound, just is coming from phone. I'm 100% confident that DZ09 firmware is working on it but you'll have no camera (I'm pretty sure positive has a different type of camera but here I'm not very sure)
[Other SmartWatches] xeph20:
When you change the clock face the "pointers" (arms? sorry for my english) do they also change or stay the same?

I think they stay the same

Is there a way to change them? i like those from the JV08S better than from DZ09
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
For now we cannot change the "hands", maybe in near future, I cannot say for sure about what will be my progress . . .
[Other SmartWatches] xeph20:
So for me it might be best to get the one with the hands i like the most?

Although the hands will probably change when i put the DZ09 firmware on it?

Would be cool if you could backup the hands or take them from the full backup.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Would be cool if we would be used with the way chinese are programming, but it looks like their mind is exactly the same as their writing style :))
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
Golem, could you maybe post the DZ-09 Firmware that you use on you GT-08. Because when I flash the firmware on my GT-08 the firmware works, except the touch screen is inverted. So it is very frustrating to use...
[Other SmartWatches] xeph20:
Ya :P

And yet another question

I'm leaning more towards buying the JV08S because the firmware looks nicer to me

But is it easy to install apps like on DZ09 firmware? and is the battery life also as good?

Hope you know (but i think you tested all firmwares already :P)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I didn't test all, my God, would be to much, but, for instance, I like a lot that for DZ09 the version I'm using has 5 levels for showing battery, GT08 has just 4, this kind of small details making the life bit easier
[Other SmartWatches] hamblett:
I found this two codes in the GT08 Firmware playing with hex editor: (I don't know if already known)

*#993646633# (Internal menu)

*#998375# (Device info)

Anybody can fix the inverted touchscreen with DZ09 firmware on GT08 Watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
The inverted touchscreen is not fixable, it happens because the firmware you have flashed was meant to be installed on a watch with other type of touchscreen hardware, check here, you could find something better which is matching your watch
[Other SmartWatches] hamblett:
Oh thank you friend, one of these firmwares will work with correct touchscreen position on my GT08?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I'm quite positive
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
okay hello again i have some news for you guys

call code *#9966*#

go down to radio fm

radio channel and enter

you can see what the radio plays without headshet or any cable in the smartwatch

i wonder if we can make it play without this menu
[Other SmartWatches] xeph20:
So you never tested the firmware that is by default on JV08S? Because if I could install new apps on it and battery life is good that would be awesome then I wouldn't have to fiddle around with other devices firmware and possibly get problems.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
the JV08S no, but I told you is 1:1 the Aplus GV08 which I tested already, not bad at all
[Other SmartWatches] xeph20:
And have you tried installing new apps to that firmware or not?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I'm not very sure, really I don't remember, it is one of the first I checked on my phone

Btw, I found (MOD'ed for a user more precisely) a weird DZ09 firmware with facebook and twiter standalone app included in the default menu, I'm not sure that firmware would work on all DZ09 versions, but on my watch it worked
[Other SmartWatches] Genaxx:
hey! im new to this and got the watch today. Trying to install the 1.2v but it dosent work. I get this error " META ERROR: Failed to open com port or setup com port"

Im on windows 10

Im getting alos "META ERROR: Error in BootROM communication"
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
When I tried to flash my device using Windows 10 it had the same exact problem, but then I tried it on a Windows XP computer and it worked. You could try that...
[Other SmartWatches] Genaxx:
Does a laptop with windows 7 work?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Of course
[Other SmartWatches] Genaxx:
But there is no ports there. How to get ports?

sorry, im noob
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
It has to have USB sockets, right?
[Other SmartWatches] Genaxx:
yes, but no ports in device manager
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
Do they all work with mine or do i have to figure out which ones work?

EDIT: NVM i thought gt08 meant gt08 firmware not firmware that works with gt08.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
You have to install mtk drivers, right? then you'll have USB COM ports as well

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Theoretically all of them are working on your watch because same PCB and processor, some of them will not match your display, others touchscreen, others camera
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Golem_, I would be happy to try that DZ09 custom firmware that you are using :) Can you please share a link? I am ready for flashing :D
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Of course man here you have the link
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Thanks! I just flashed it, it runs, however the navigation is inverted for me, camera still not working. Anyway, the menu is more beautiful but I will revert to the old firmware that I was using :)

Still looking some iOS devs who can make the MSD app for iOS find my watch :( seems so hard with GT08, some guy made it work with G2 (MTK 2502) but not for mine... investigation continues :)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Man, spare your energy for greater deeds :)) we have mtk6260, there is no way to get in contact through iOS app apart the situation you're hacking yourself that app :) some guy made it with G2 because it is supposed to be like this, I would be surprised to not be able to :)))
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Well, maybe I will suspend for some time the search of light :D Now the other mission is fixing those partitions of my Allview tablet, I am surprised nobody is answering on that thread...

BTW, do we have a list of what .vbx work on GT08 ?
[Other SmartWatches] yurtal:
Vibrate

Is there a way to make the notifications vibrate? I can't for the life of me figure it out!?
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
I believe you can by choosing Vib. & ring setting in your profile (General, Meeting etc.)

Also, if you are using Mediatek SmartDevice app, you can check if there is a vibration setting to be turned on, as well.

Hope it helps :)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Year ago or so bought an Allview as well, piece of crap, not because the tablet but because the android OS itself which, from my point of view, is the biggest fake in the human technology history, I cannot believe so much money were "made" (stolen) cheating entire world by manipulation, there is nobody to say loudly that the king is naked???

About vxp apps, try these link
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Can definitely agree, I cant believe they have no official firmware updates on the website for the last 2 years... and that internal storage partition with 700mb allows me to install... nothing ...

Thanks for the apps, will try them in a few :)

p.s. all of them failed to start :(
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
can i know if this dz09 can install on gt08?beacuse i try it but i have problems with screen

i think wrong drivers
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Man, you have to check from time to time if I'm opening new threads :) I've built lately a huge collection of firmwares (and is growing day by day) you can access from here link

With some patience the chances to find something matching your watch grows to 98% :)
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
thank you for this

but i need a firmware for gt08 what can install apps

have you got any ?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I have checked just very few gt08, I'm really sorry I cannot help you with a certain answer, there are slight chances somewhere is a gt08 version they'd resolved this issue
[Other SmartWatches] yurtal:
I can't find the profile settings anywhere on the watch.

[Other SmartWatches] hamblett:
Negative my friend. I test every firmware from your Google Drive link.

[Other SmartWatches] thushara58844:
i flashed the colmi on mine,but it is in some test mode,debug information is displayed on the screen,how to get rid of it?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I didn't check this firmware, just an opinion, do on dial pad *#3646633# or *#993646633# and get in debug or profiling (don't remember well) and stop anything you find ON there
[Other SmartWatches] thushara58844:
Also can you give a link to the dz09 firmware you are using, in mine the touch screen is inverted.
[Other SmartWatches] iteck4u:
Help i can't install drive
[Other SmartWatches] thushara58844:
thanks man it worked,disabled debugging mode. thanks again
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
It is a bit MOD'ed by me, hope you do not dislike the watchfaces I chose, for sure you'll not dislike dual GSM reception (better antenna lower consume)

restart computer and battery out battery back in the watch
[Other SmartWatches] 16luuk:
no luck (again)

it stil doesn't work, by the way: i remove the battery before plugging it into the pc.

any ideas left?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
no, battery has to be in before to plug, new thing, flash tool doesn't work on usb 3 and above, change on a socket usb 2.0 or lower

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

as well, maybe your watch has a 64Mb NOR, download from collection one firmware on 64 and use the scatter for initialization and try a RAM test

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Try to switch off that stupid certificate check for drivers and install them again

according to that K8 descreption, it would we awesome, but the thing is that the GT08 happens to be available in my country... I don't own a PayPal account nor any credit card, thus can only pay on delievery locally. Im considering getting the watch, if i dont like it,i can return within 3 days.

[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
Hello!

Of course it is your decision. Maybe it is the right device for you and you will like it. Maybe you find additional functions, so feel free to complete my review. As I said, it is a good looking and really well built watch, but I think 60€ and above is way too expensive, according to what you get with this watch. These watches are available in different online-stores below 50$. It seems to me that new models of cheaps smartwatches come out every week, so perhaps it would be better to wait a little longer, they might get better soon. Maybe you should think about having a paypal account if you often like to buy in online-shops. You have a bigger variety of shops you can buy from and you get protection from paypal, if there should be problems.

Best regards!
[Other SmartWatches] alexandercartier:
Steve, I am listening to the watch's streamed music right now on my BT headset, works okay.

K8 looks awesome, but still sells north of 75 €, which still should be something like $ 100...:(

[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
Hello!

When I tried streaming from the watch to bt-headset directly it was a real bad sound quality, like 8bit telephone sound and the connection to the phone was terminated. Maybe there was a Problem with the watch or with the connection to my headset I don't know. Maybe your headset fits better to the watch. I send the watch back already, so I can't experiment with it again.

I'm still waiting for the K8. Yes it ist more expensive of course, but it has real android and you can install android apps there. And it has wifi, gps and 3g mobile data, so you can access the intenet and use navigation with the watch. But of course this is something completly different from the gt08, you can't compare the specs. I payed about 60€ for the gt08 (which was much too expensive) and 87€ for the K8 which is not soo much more.

i got the GT08.... It seems to have some sorta software a tiny bit different than the OUMAX...

I can set whatever wallpaper I like by sending any pic from my Xperia Z3 to it, though it only supports JPG and no PNGs.

.

Sound seems fine enough, and the vibrations are also fine.

.

The Camera is so crappy it's really useless. One thing someone MIGHT find handy is the remote shutter were you shutter with the watch instead of phone...

.

No installable applications, neither software updates or something like that. I can't seem to let that fitness app to actually work, it only shows a barcode and the app on my phone doesnt sync anything with it, if anyone can help about that...

.

Build quality seems good,I like how it looks, although i could use more watch faces, at least one digital face would be nice...

-All in all, it seems good enough to keep. I did not issue a refund request and will keep it. I can do everything with it while the phone is in my pocket...take calls,reply to SMS,read whatsapp and other apps' notifications and of course keep track of time.
[Other SmartWatches] alexandercartier:
How did you "send" the picture from your Xperia?

[MENTION=4932068]alexandercartier[/MENTION] yeah, iphones have much less options to use unlike Android.

FunDo works only on the phone/tablet not on the watch.

How did you set your picture as wallpaper? I have it on sd card but found nothing in settings to select it

Thanks

[Other SmartWatches] Omessy7:
doesnt the watch sync the pedometer to it ? or is Fundo useless for the watch ? no syncing ?!

As i mentioned my software seems a bit different than others... in options while viewing a pic i have set as on screen-set as off screen- set as wallpaper then i get to crop the pic and set it as a wallpaper or as an on/off boot pic.
[Other SmartWatches] klausb65:
the watch should sync the pedometer to the phone and onto fundo but

it doesn’t. I can login into fundo on my pc but when I log out, the I try to login again

the pw is not accepted any more, probably the problem is there with the account.

Did somebody tried to install this firmware?
