I use version v5.1352.01 sp flash tools and the file scatter original and it worked after I reflash with the backup of the last update it works again then it was completely dead I flash it without battery after unplug and it works

Yep, that'll do it - had a similar experience shortly after I bought it months ago.

It's documented way back in this thread :)

Yes it is enough to understand the procedure to follow my goal and to change the bluetooth connection to make it compatible with Google android wear as a smartwatch w3 is something that a to the rom of this smartwatch I'm interested
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I am putting this out in all three - four threads for our watches.

If anyone has a dead/broken K8, K8 Mini, K18, K18 Mini, D5 or X1 which they do not want or can donate - please let me know via private message.

I am looking at this from a hardware level to see what battery options and storage improvements can be made and I need a watch that I can pull apart.

Please let me know - I know it's a big ask but worth a shot.

Cheers

UPDATE

Don't bother. The K8 Round and D5 will show similar battery usage and the results were really bad. Went to bed about 1AM, woke about 8AM- 48% battery left. Sleep as Android tracks a lot of data, so a more basic tracker may do better.

For those having battery life issues

If using as a companion device

Go to Connections in Settings

Put device into Airplane mode

Go to Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth back on

What this does is turn off the Cellular radios and WiFi. Both WiFi and cellular do a full scan of all available signals every few seconds. this has a noticeable impact on battery life.

If using as a standalone

Disable BT and WiFi if you are not using it

Schedule your syncs (email, weather, etc.) for a cycle that suits you. The longer the sync cycle the better your battery life will be.

Social media apps are a battery killer as they use push (read "constant pinging")

For both modes

Having multiple health tracking apps running will have a notable impact.

[MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] has made some progress with root - I hope you don't mind me saying this mate?

I am saying it because we need to let this progress be made so that people will not try to root their devices and be unable to get back to stock or accept an OTA and brick it.

Please hang on a little longer guys :good:

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Also, I need to say that a forum member has come forward and donated a watch to me so that I can alter the hardware.

Thankyou very much for this and it is much appreciated - I haven't named that person because I'm not sure if they wanted to be named.

I will say this - our community here is strong and we will achieve some good results because of this.

Great stuff :)
[Other SmartWatches] ernie346:
I am using Nova Launcher & Prime on the K18 (unrooted). The center button no longer turns the screen off. Not a major problem as I can use the button to return to Home Screen and apply the Turn Off App for the backlight. I assume Nova Gestures overwrites the normal task but wonder is there is another way around the screen -off issue.

A number of members seem to have battery problems. I do not know if I am lucky with my battery or if Nova is more efficient but I am getting 3 days with Sim & raise to turn screen on (about the same without the latter). The 1st alarm comes at 30% battery but there is still a full days use at that point. Granted my K18 is mainly used as a watch but I will mention my set-up in case it is of use, as reducing frequency of charging is said to extend the useful life of the watch

I use Battery Saver mode (long press on center button). Run PhoneLeash (GearAndroid) on my phone to forward texts & details of missed calls to my watch - so I do not need to use Bluetooth. Sim takes care of incoming and I only use WiFi briefly to update or where required for Apps.

Nova Launcher - saves a lot of time compared to standard launcher.

Digi Clock Widget (ForestTree) - getting long sighted so I like large digital screen

Pitch Black Wallpaper (Tecdrop Tools) - black should be better for battery & I do not need backgrounds on a 1" screen

Battery Solo Widget (Pedro Maicas) Like a clear indication of battery on my Home screen

Turn Off Screen (Marinelli.TV Tools) Put on Home screen to overcome Nova problem

Acalander, CCleaner, TomTom, Riptide GP (to show off)
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
I use Nova too and I use double tap to off screen

I used my watch yesterday as a standalone from 15:00 and at 20:30 I had to put it in charge.... Is useless...

[Other SmartWatches] ernie346:
Many thanks.

Could the "double tap" be using that much power?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
I'm fine with that. The current method is multiple steps on the Mini/D5 and would be the same on the K8. However, full proper root is possible. As it stands there's some universally safe rules that I suggest folks follow;

Root and/or firmware mods = NO Stock OTAs for obvious reasons

Stock firmware = Stock OTAs but little to no mods or root

When you get the parts watch I may bug you for some detailed images.

Hi Guys,

Small question please, I see that K8 watch have 3 buttons, are all of it real or just fake button?
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
All working and that's a great feature!

Upper is for back

Middle is for power on/off and home

Lower is for menu

And they are also very useful for booting in recovery mode by pressing lower and power button togheter (that's not possible on the K8 mini and No.1 D5)

Watch Faces with SWApp Link

(1) I do not know if this is mentioned in this thread:

You can use SWApp Link for watchfaces. It works quit well.

The new betas can import watchfaces in the Facer-format

https://plus.google.com/+CyrilPreiss0/posts/YrNDXdk2GLf

(2) The k8 has no power button and no lockscreen.

The middle button is the home button.

When you press the home button it powers on the screen and you see the stock launcher.

The main page of this launcher is the stock watchface.

In Nova Launcher you can bind the home button to power off.

[MENTION=1536807]developers[/MENTION]: perhaps it is possible to import watchfaces to the stock launcher.
[Other SmartWatches] lphovercraft:
I browsed through this thread and saw chatter about 3G and baseband. I noticed the K9 3G of Gearbest purported to support 1900 in the US. So I ordered one to see how it would behave using the SIM from my now-trashed TrueSmart. I'll likely report on that in a new thread but thought it worth mentioning here.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
I'll probably bug you about pulling the baseband for me at some point after you verify it works on 1900.
[Other SmartWatches] giol:
To be precise, the watchfaces on the k8 are the daydream function of the launcher.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Odd, I removed daydreams from the D5 completely and the faces still work. That K8 really needs to hurry up.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I have daydream completely disabled on my large K8 and the faces work fine. Not related to daydream as far as I kno. The watchface is just the home screen of the launcher.

Daydream = a screensaver / a feature in the stock android alarm clock.

Daydream can also means Google on LSD :D

[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
I will see how swaplink works as a "launcher". You can also put whatever watchface (I have to investigate which kind of format is supported)

As the back buttom/gesture goes to "real principal launcher" y put as a principal launcher Nova launcher. So that, I will use the "back bottom" to go to "apps".

Hi!

I received the k8 two weeks ago. I use it with the original firmware and i am happy with this SW but yesterday, i carry it with more things in my hand i dont know what happend or what botton i push that when i saw the SW, the screen was black with some opcions in blue chinese letters. I select one opcion and the k8 recovery with the originals settings, with the last version but now the screen doesnt light with the hand movement. How can i put this opcion again? Or what was the diferents opcions i saw in the screen.

And the second thing, in my k8, the third botton doesnt work or it doesnt do anything, can i put some actions in this botton with the original FW? Without root or something like this, because i never do it i dont want brick it.

Thank all for help and sorry for my english, i know it isnt the best...
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yes, it does.

If you look back in this thread you will find out how it was done.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

Do you mean you don't know how to select it or it has been selected but no longer works?

If you need to select it - you can long press the middle button while you are on the watch face home screen.

You will get a menu screen and you need to select the option which looks like a little hand - on the left side of the screen.

Or you can get to it through the battery saving menu in "settings"
[Other SmartWatches] maitrot:
This watch is almost impossible to brick since it is an MTK device. what you saw was either the recovery/fastboot mode.

[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
You could also connect the watch to your computer (usb-debugging enabled) and use 'mobizen' app. It will display the screen of your watch on your pc in a square shape, so that you can reach every button.

Works also over wlan but slower.

Greetings! I have a slight issue. Perhaps someone could point me to a correct procedure. After a SP Flash tools frozen flashing procedure and seemingly successful second attempt afterwards, I have also somehow lost/formatted the sd card. It shows 0 mb. Flashing back to stock rom does not make a difference. Perhaps I have missed some tutorials or postings on this, but I somehow have not found how to overcome this issue and recover the sd card.

Have you tried a factory reset after flashing?
[Other SmartWatches] tiberalex:
I'm using a bluetooth mouse to reach any place on the smartwatch screen...
[Other SmartWatches] maitrot:
NICE!

Now we have five guides how to reach the corners... i´ll summarize for the sake of completeness:

1. 3x tap enabled in accessesibility settings through "gesture search" app

2. use "Mobizen" app and connect to pc to get square screen on pc

3. use "Teamviewer quic support" app and connect to pc to get square screen on pc

4. use BT mouse to reach corners

5. use xposed app "one handed mode" to get ACTUAL square screen on the watch and combine with "Appsettings" (root, xposed)

My smartwatch works perfectly, but has a problem with the battery, works for a few hours, then suddenly shuts down.and i have to recharge the battery again. can you help me?
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
You can try to edit the watchfaces by selecting every single element of the watchface and push it up a little by changing the '-y' entry. It also helps to select 'square' shape in the watchmaker settings. I have done this on my No.1 D5 and there is still a little black space on the top but it is not big as you see on the pictures. I had the same problem on my zgpax s8 and I think it is maybe some reserved space for a notification bar (which we don't have). If someone has made better results I would really like a hint.
