Glad to hear it worked!

Soon I will complete the app for changing themes and icons so you'll be able to change yourself things in your firmware
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
Do you know why the touch screen is inverted?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
It is getting inverted to me as well if i'm installing certain firmwares, it is just a slight difference in the touchscreen driver
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
The touch screen on my watch is inverted... Very Frustrating... Can anybody help.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Which firmware you tried by now?

Did you do <Readback> before t start flashing?

Your display is inverse than mine, did you try for instance this one link ?
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
When I use the gt08 firmware the touchscreen works perfectly, but when I use the dz09 firmware The X and Y axis on the touch screen are inverted.

(The dz09 firmware is the one I want to use)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
We cannot change drivers inside firmware, these drivers are part of the core, you can try this link which is different version of DZ09 or this link which is GV08 with mostly same type of menu
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
Both of those had inverted touch screens so I guess I have to stick with gt08 firmware. Do you know if there is a way to delete apps on the gt08 firmware then?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
It looks like so, I don't like either too much gt08 menu style

I suppose if you go in file manager and you delete things from MRE folder the app will dissapear from main menu as well
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
Could anybody show me the VXP apps that works for the gt08.

Hello guys, maybe this is a stupid question but I have the gt08 for about 3 days now and I was wondering if this watch actualy vibrates or not. Cause I really hate the very loud sounds it makes so everyone in my block nows I have an ongoing notification :p

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Yes, it is, even pretty well
[Other SmartWatches] avsmartmobiles:
Mine doesnt. And I have no setting for vibrations whatsoever. Can anyone help??

Hi, i'm thinking of buying a GT08 to connect with my samsung s5

The only 2 questions i have is:

I know it's possible to get notification of whatsapp on the watch, but is it also possible to answer whatsapp through the watch?

Is it possible to control the music that your mobile is playing? (So i have a headset in my mobile, music is on, wanne click next number on my watch)

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
Could somebody tell me which VXP app they found off this website that works on the gt08. http://www.dmax.wapka.mobi/site_files.html?get-p=3379&get-i=785&get-f=13&get-i=817
[Other SmartWatches] jonathan1538:
You can't reply Whatsapp messages. You can only reply to text messages.

You can't control music on the watch. I believe if you connect the watch with your phone, all sounds made from your phone goes to your watch.

You can store music on the watch's SD card, then you can control which music to play on your watch.
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
Is there some way to return your watch to the original firmware that it had when it came out of the box. by factory resetting it or something?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Be more specific, did you flashed different firmware? in this case no, there is no reset button for going back to the original firmware
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
is there a way to fix the imei?the watch tell me invalid imei
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Of course! always when you flash a firmware the NVRAM data is wiped out so you have to write it back every time, here at the link is an app link working 100%, open it, press system config, MD1_DB, select BPLGUI file you have in the firmware folder, make sure there is checked JUST IMEI, press save, press start, wait initialization and the message that is waiting for connection, connect your phone (exactly as for flash tool), willask for IMEI, write it, ok operation succesfuly message and ready

another method is - connect your phone through blutooth as in this older tutorial I've made some time ago LINK TUTORIAL, and after in the command window you type AT + EGMR = 1 , 7 , "your IMEI" and enter and TADA!
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
thank you for your excellent help but i have missing the bplgui file...there to find that?

i have only 5 files which the names of them is VIVA,ROM,EXT_BOOTLOADER,cat.cfg and BOOTLOADER

so there can i find that file?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
find it in another firmware kit, the only condition is to be a gt08 firmware kit
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
thank you for you help finally i find it and flash it...everythink is ok now
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
hope you didn't misunderstand, I tried to say that bplgui is interchangeable between firmwares so if you don't have this file in the firmware kit you just flashed you can borrow one from other similar firmware in order to burn back your IMEI
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
yes i understood

thank you very mutch for your help

everythink is working fine now..

Thanks for all your efforts.

Can't wait to receive mine.

And we really need to find a way use SD card for apps and clock faces. Or find a way to make the watch think the SD card is internal memory
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Man, this is way above my pay grade and quite improbable by my humble opinion, still there is a chance if we could discover the secret key commands for bluetooth serial port, check here an older review of mine - link - for sure if we have enough information we could access directly ROM zone - in the next moment can be created a pc-suite for mtk smartwatches
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Hello to all!

I bought my GT08 a month ago. I am an iOS user and knew that the full potential of the smartwatch is not accessible but was satisfied. Overall, it costed me less than $30...

After some time I decided to check around what could be done with the smartwatch and saw the thread.

After reading all replies, I can say huge THANKS to everyone who improved the thread and helped improve the GT08.

I believe the watch has hidden potential yet to be uncovered and look forward about it.

So, what I did - got the v 1.2 firmware - was satisfied with the new clock faces, but the camera function and the video recording stopped working.

Can anyone suggest why and share if has the same problem?

I also tried to switch the old clock faces with new .gif ones. Did it successfully and saved the ROM file. However, I am not sure how exactly to flash that file into the watch - if someone can help me here will appreciate it.

In addition, I have an issue while the phone is connected to the watch. The phone is put on silent, watch is on meeting profile with vibrate only, 0 volume and still, when I recieve an incoming call, the phone does not ring, but the watch is playing a ringtone (the same one set on the phone while not on silent). I tried changing profiles, settings and so on but did not help... can someone help here, as its really not OK to have my watch ringing while at work :)

And last but not least, can anyone share what applications in .vxp are working with the watch because I tried to install several but without success.

Thanks in advance!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Hi there! Man, first of all, you said too many things and they got mixed. So, let's try step by step

1. You have flashed V1.2 and now your camera is not working

- all of us got through this, these watces are produced by different factories, the PCB is always the same (nonreplaceble) but they are buying sometimes displays, touchscreens, cameras, microphones, shells and so on from different providers. Different hardware components equal different drivers which the firmware you have flashed doesn't have!

2. You didn't mention but I suppose (hope) you did a readback for original firmware - in which case you have a 16MB ROM dump, keep it in safe untouched! do a copy of it and get here at this - link - and do all the steps, in this way you'll extract the original firmware for your watch (with all hardware full functional) you can after flash in your phone as any other firmware kit

3. I didn't hear yet about full functional vxp apps

Hope it helps!
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Thanks for the fast reply Golem_!

I summarized my questions in one thread, still have many more though :)

So, bad to hear that with 1.2 everyone has the issue with the camera, is there any idea if 1.3 will be out soon and what can be expected there?

For the readback - actually haven't done one since I have a second watch, 1:1, with untouched firmware which I will use for the readback and can flash it again with the changed clock faces (there are some really good ones ;) )

And for the vxp - I believe I read earlier in the thread that someone managed to install Asphalt, facebook etc. but in my case what I downloaded and tried to install didn't work...

Hope to hear new good news for that watch, its good one for its price :)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
1.2 doesn't have any issue, just the firmware used for development is coming from a different factory, that's all, if there appear a new version be sure we are the first to know

Glad to know you have your back secured by a second watch

for more information you could check as well dz09 threads
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Thanks again! Lets hope 1.3 will surprise us good :)

And one more thing that I find quite annoying at the time:

"In addition, I have an issue while the phone is connected to the watch. The phone is put on silent, watch is on meeting profile with vibrate only, 0 volume and still, when I recieve an incoming call, the phone does not ring, but the watch is playing a ringtone (the same one set on the phone while not on silent). I tried changing profiles, settings and so on but did not help... can someone help here, as its really not OK to have my watch ringing while at work" - any idea how can I make the watch NOT play any tones while ringing ? :(
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Choose a profile, Meeting for instance or which one you want to have it active at your work place, set on <Vib. and Ring> and set volume to zero, so you'll have just vibration (do the same for messages)
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Still the same...whatever profile options I choose (vib. only; vib + ring etc. ) and however I try to mute the phone(volume=0 + silent), I still get the watch ringing with my phone's ringtone...

Could that profiles be more or less for the internal SIM calls of the watch and not to work while on bluetooth ?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Hey there neighbor! (now I have noticed you're from bulgaria, I'm from romania)

maybe is the app you're using in your android phone? this one is working flawless for me - link -

if you are using directly connection without any app, the watch behave like a simple bluetooth headset so is transmitting just the phone sends so that you have to choose on phone a "soundless" ringtone, a sound that is pure no sound record
[Other SmartWatches] PetarKr:
Buna :)

Well, I am using iPhone (happens to say it - unfortunately ) I know there is still no app for iOS ... maybe just it doesn't communicate well with the watch... will try on my girlfriend's Android phone with BTNotifier if her watch also rings on Meeting (vib. only) and revert back here soon

Hello,

I have same problem with update to firmware 1.2 i've updated and now camera recording don't work, unfortunatly i've don't know anything about readback now, could anyone post official firmware? Help:crying:
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
If you'd read all the stuff around you will realize that there is no "official firmware", I have few firmwares but they would work even worse on your watch (scrambled touchscreen or inverse colors for display) , most probably your watch descends from new generation with new kind of camera hardware, user PetarKr has to extract soon the original firmware, ask him nicely for a copy

I know that the firmware on needrom.com will not work for me , but i just want to change the watchfaces.

Any ideas ? Any help ?

That's the problem.

That's the problem , a cannot make a reedback the flashtool is looking scater file first. When i try to make a reedback with flashtool and scater file u post Earlier i have an error it wont make me a readbeck.

Maybe its the drivers but i dont think so cuz flashtool recognize the correct comport from my watch.

don't try anything by yourself, because it is about a different hardware there is a big chance to mess up with your firmware and brick your watch

Also, someone know how to fix the invested touch with DZ09?

Can you explain how you got the PDF Reader working? Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] magofita:
Of course!

Just install DZ Operative System and then in the last page you will have the apps installed.

I installed "PDF+Reader.vxp"

The problem with the GT 1.2 Operative System is that is ussing a diferent O. S. For the apps, is because you can't install apps in this system.

Anyone knows how to add a new app to this system? I tryed but...I can't find the apps using the computer...

Hey guys, I havent forgotten about that readback.

Actually I had very short time to try it as I wasn't that much in front of the PC, however, the readback for some reason did not work.

I had the readback setting in the flashtool set, and pressing the Readback button + connecting the untouched watch (W1) did not started anything.

I checked the COM ports - all were ok (later on I managed to re-flash the already reflashed watch (W2) with some new watchfaces (Thanks to Golem_ ) and the flashtool recognized W2, flash managed to happen without issues.

I am supposing to be something with the drivers... have a similar issue with another MTK device ( a tablet, by the way if someone could help here will appreciate - thread) where I have the MTK drivers most probably the root cause of the problem.

At the end of the day, I have at least some good news :) Mediatek Smart Device app from Google play worked amazing! All functions worked, all notifications appeared (Facebook messages even possible to be read from the pop-up notification) only Viber notifications do not show the text of the message... but the remote camera of W1 , the silent/meeting modes - everything was great :) My girlfiriend who is using the untouched watch with Android was really really happy to have it finally working (as for some reason BT Notification app was not doing what was meant to).

i think u didnt understand my question correctly, what i want is to make my watch not go to sleep(not let the screen turn off), something like ambient mode. is this possible?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
GT08 has some issues in creating new menu pages. . . For sure your apps are effective but full invisible, for me are working but I'm a "defector", I have switched on DZ09 firmware some time ago, why so, better looking menu and animations, easier to MOD its media, better battery life and better GSM signal, less bugs, of course my camera doesn't work but who has need of 0.3 MPx???

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

man, did you test what I have said there? triggering ESLP is doing exactly what you have asked for, the screen is not going in sleep mode anymore but the lights get turned off, our watches have TFT, not LCD or OLED, hard to believe that you could see something on the screen without the backlight led coming from a very specific angle and direction, that's why I told you about ELSM which will make possible for you to see that the watch is not going in sleep mode ever

Hey Golem_

Maybe you don't remember but I ordered a Gt08 but there was a problem with the seller so the order got canceled.

Now I'm not sure if I should buy another Gt08 or another Smartwatch I know gv18 Gt08 and dz09 are almost the same but looks. But maybe you can suggest one?

Maybe the easiest one to customize or with the best firmware.

I would like an android standalone Smartwatch but they often are 5 times the price. And battery often sucks.

I would like a Smartwatch that can play music from SD card so not crap like u8

I know you roam this forum a lot so hope you can advise me :).

Thanks man
