Do you have instructions that tell you how to hardware switch on into any form of bootloader for this device... I have the lower spec ordro sw16 with the 512mb ram and 3mp camera. Its essentially identical otherwise and I been really playing with it (anyone want to root or install exposed to improve batt and get more features talk to me, had this since DEC 2015 - also reviewed it on youtube.com search ordro sw16. I have submerged in water for 5 seconds).

I have messed up a little and need to find how to perform a factory reset outside of android os (boot etc)
[Other SmartWatches] JPSavard:
Does anyone know if:

- we can change the battery?

- we can change the strap(is the speaker embedded in the strap btw?)

- does it work with Canada Rogers/Videotron services?

- does it work with Windows Phone bluetooth enabled internet sharing feature?

- we can buy additional charging dock?

Thanks in advance!

Can we port android wear to Fifine W9 smartwatch

Hello

I have these questions

1. How to install recovery

2. How to enter recovery

3. Is there anyway to port android wear firmware to it( instead of KitKat, I prefer android wear as many of the good applications and watch faces in the web is compatible with android wear)
[Other SmartWatches] movieifx:
There are 2 routes that I have tried to access some nice watch faces.

1. Install swapp from xda thread, play store version doesn't have feature. This allows you to import 'facer' watch faces. Swapp acts as your lock screen. If you don't want all the swapp features for syncing your watch to your phone then you can turn these off and just use the watch face feature.

2.install watchmaker live wallpaper and use any watchmaker face as live wallpaper. I currently use this in conjunction with apex launcher. You can then use apex ability to overlap widgets and use widget shapes to clean up launcher screens where you want to hide the watchmaker face.

Doubt we'll ever get android wear build and to be honest I prefer the flexibility that I get from a full android build.
[Other SmartWatches] BigBadSheep:
Hello to you all

I don't own the watch yet but to you all who's asking for watch faces, have some but can't use because it's acting like a phone...have you considered rooting the watch, use some build.prop editor and change the informations regarding type of phone? There's a line in build.prop that if you change it you can give the ID of another compatible device.

Just my 2 cents on it!

Facer watch face not working

Thanks for your king reply

I have installed the SWapp Link from website and downloaded 'Facer watch faces' (not the Facer applications) as described by the owner Cryl Priess, but when I open the other folder, the watch face seen , but when I select it, it disappears. So kindly describe in details what to do next after this step to add these watch faces. Is it needed to install Facer also in the phone or watch.

[Other SmartWatches] AKinsella:
For Watch Faces etc... I have been very busy lately but an idea for this would be to look for an "android wear emulator'' or such (maybe "android wear launcher") that runs on stock android 4.4. and give that a go. Just a thought. Have not had the time to research this at the present time. Good luck.

FIFINE W9 Cant Sign In To Google

Hello all, I just got a copy of FIFINE W9 smart watch, I must confess it's really a wonderful piece of smart watch but I have difficulty signing in to my google account and without it I wont be able to use the google play store to download more apps on the watch. The error message its giving me is "There was a problem communicating with Google servers", please does anyone have any clue to this.

Also I noticed that some of the Apps that are supposed to be pre-installed like GPS and Facebook are not not installed, instead there are some funny Apps like "360", "QQ", "QQMusic", "DU" and "Baidu IME" which are all in chinese language.

lock screen

Hello

The lock screen of the fifine watch is the clock face But the number of clock face is limited.

Now I found watchmaker live wallpaper as good replacement, and you can make or download watch faces you like. But the limitation is that it can be installed in the home screen and the battery drain is a lot. Also on the stock launcher , to get an empty screen is difficult , the only way is to install a n application , then uninstall it, then only you will get an empty screen.

So the good solution will be to find out a way to replace the stock lock screen with watchmaker live wallpaper.

If anybody knows a way to do this , please help me.

Thanking you

dr.saidalavi
[Other SmartWatches] BigBadSheep:
You must have rooted your watch, then download from Google Play a Build.prop editor.

Start running that editor and first of all make a backup of your actual build.prop file, prior to any modification.

Then you must modify two lines:

Edit your Model # by locating ro.product.model= and changing your model #

- change your product brand by locating ro.product.brand=

It's a good thing if you can locate a build.prop file from a Android Wear watch with similar specs for resolution - most of all and copy those two lines in your watch's build.prop' respective lines

Another tweak is that you can modify LCD density to get a higher ppi number but you must do it by trial and error. Don't set a high value rather than your usual or the watch will become unstable with a bootloop or icons that won't fit on your screen. Maybe a plus of 20% of your original density is good to go.

I repeat..do first a backup of your phone (in case of bootloop) and of your build.prop file.

How To Get maximum from Fifine W9 Smartwatch

Hello,

Here I am sharing how I made my Fifine smartwatch the way I liked it.

Initially I was very disappointed as I disliked all the watch faces present as lock screen in the watch , and there is only few watch faces are available in the play store or in the web which can be installed in it., that too with great battery drain, about 12% per hour. Then came the choice of SwaPP link, to me it was also disappointing as there were frequent disconnection plus battery drain. Finally I found a way which I am describing below.

To work this very easily, you should have an android phone same or higher than KitKat 4.4.2 along with the smartwatch

All the application I am describing below should be installed both in the phone as well as in the watch

1- download and buy Watchmaker premium (WMP) and Watchmaker Live Wallpaper(WLWP) from the Play Store and install it

2. download C Locker from Play Store. install it also

3. Download WM watch faces of your liking from face repo or google plus for WM.

4. We can customize these faces using WMP easily in the large screen of android phone. For this go through the tutorial and wiki of WMLWP. These watch faces can be exported using the setting of WMP, which will be saved in the export folder of Beautiful watch faces already present in the storage of the phone, can be retrieved using ES file explorer, copy it to the SD card of the watch

5. Then set these modified watch faces as live wallpaper in the WLWP, save it, set as live wall paper, now it will be the live wallpaper in the stock launcher

6. Now in C locker you can set the live wallpaper same as Home screen, so when the watch is locked this watch face will be seen whenever you rise your hand. Even in the c locker setting you can put any widget you want on the lock screen.

7. in this way no need for any third party launcher, and you can preserve your status bar and notification panel. The only thing is the unlocking method in the setting is to be kept none

7. If the watch is rooted, you can install exposed and activate recent application cleaner, then whenever the phone screen is off, all the recent application except the exempted one will be killed which will save battery.

In C locker if you make the unlocking method as the central ring,you can easily put your favorite application to open directly from the lock screen

By this method , my maximum battery expenditure when the watch is on my hand is about 4- 5%/hr only.

Please try this and if you kindly hit thanks
[Other SmartWatches] drsaidalavi:
Watchmaker LIive Wallpaper and C- locker

Now let me add something useful for Muslims all over the world, others kindly ignore this.

Download Athanotify, a free application from the play store to the watchor any other android devices

This is an excellent apk for knowing the time of prayer in almost all cities around the world, you can automatically set the android device mute during prayers, as well as it has beautiful widget which can be set on the c locker , it will give you the hijridate, the current prayer time , the next prayer time as well the Gregorian Date.

Kindly try and let me know how much you like it.

I want a great help- if somebody knows how to add HIJRI date in watchmaker watch faces, kindly describe it in easy steps here. I asked this question in Google+, but still no answer.

[Other SmartWatches] EndNinja:

[Other SmartWatches] ccbrianf:
What are duplicate/cloned sim cards?

What are duplicate/cloned sim cards, and what does that have to do with the w9? It takes a single sim card. How you obtain one or more does not seem to me to be relevant, but I'm probably just too naive I guess.
[Other SmartWatches] EndNinja:
Well i don't have enough money to buy another plan for my smartwatch so i need something that duplicate/clones my sim card on my phone to my watch. (if its possible, but probably not)

My phone runs with android 4.2. this makes it incompatible with W9. What if I root it? can I make any modifications to make it work with this watch? How about flashing a third party ROM? will that help too? The phone is Xtouch x509.

Is there any kind of support from the manufacturer? Is it still worth to buy them>?

dardontrade

I have received my W9 a couple of days ego, and I'm ready to throw it out the window.

Can't do nothing with it. Can't pair it with my Samsung Galaxy S5, don't know how to download anything on it.

How to even get the play store? Once I get it than what? How to download?

I' know I'm pretty dumb for this, I'm 78 perhaps that is the problem. You gays talk about downloading "popapp" etc.

applications but when I get to the playstore on my phone and get the play store, type in "pop app" and about two hundred different one shows up. Which one do I need? I did set up my internet connection, and bluetooth on the watch and that's about it. I need detailed step by step instructions how to download anything on it.

When I tap BT Remind "empty notification" page shows up.

An other think: In the T-MOBILE office they try to pair it, could not do it. They made me buy an other shim, for $20,

and $10. after that monthly, saying that the shim from my phone would not work. They put a new sim in the watch, I get home I tried to call my wife's cell, it says: "mobile network not available"! What? With a new shim?

And again an other think: What is ruting? Why it's good, what can you do with it? Should I start with that first?

Sorry for all the stupid questions, if somebody would be patient enough to enlighten me, probably would take some time.

Can't find GPS on it either.

Would somebody please help me? Now it is a week later and nobody is writing anything on this watch.
[Other SmartWatches] dardontrade:
The sim card used in your phone, will not work in the watch.

At least this is what I been told by T-Mobil.

Hi nk33.

my watch had Android 4.4.2 (not wear), google playstore, google maps and a little other apps.

You can install apk or apps directly from Playstore.

You can root it and install twrp recovery (or wait for my howto and flash the rom finished with su and twrp).

Best regards.

the main reason i am looking at this watch is the 1gb ram. all the others with full android seem to just have 512mb and this runs out very quickly these days.

are there any other watches i should be looking at to compare before i buy....main requirements for me are:

full android wih play store without having to mess about with it first

1gb ram

splash proof

full vibration and sound
