K.. Maybe someone can extract theirs for you and pop it into Dropbox..

With that in mind, might have to keep bumping this thread until a kind soul comes to the party for you..

Then it could be just a matter of packing it into one of those other MCU zip packages and flash it.. Or someone zips it into a flashable pack for you.. I am guessing that using 7zip maybe work..but better confirm that with a developer..

Also on that note.. As been pointed out before... MCU flashing can lead to bad things happening as with these units not only using a rom + kernel but the MCU package as well ., thus if you are new to these units....

Read....read.. Check.. Before you do anything...

Universal 7" 2din android

Hello everybody ! I saw this forum yesterday, i found it interesting. I am also in trouble with my 2 DIN android 7" [ ebay item num.: 141797471889 ] .... After all connections made,

it only operates and shows up Android logo, after a moment only the light of the screen is on.....

I told the seller, and he sent me 2 files ( 4.4 MCU - 复件(3).zip & 4.4.4system - 复件(3).zip ) , i unzipped the files that he sent me, and he told me to copy only the 173 MB mcu file to the SD card.

So after all, i connected again the power wire , i pressed eject button and i inserted the SD card to the CAR DVD and I pressed the HOME & MENU button till it shows up an option . As he said...

Nothing !!!! I tried all the 4 files

( 1 mcu files from 4.4 & 3 mcu files from 4.4.4 )

Here are all, 4.4 zip file extracts folder: 4.2系统最新下滑MCU with file : 4bf18a00-297a-11e3-ab19-000c29ba27c0

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigabit7178:
Hi guys bought a brand new nexus 6 from eglobalcentral im sure some of you have heard of them located in china, took 6 days to get to the uk here. Anyway looked brand new all happy, noticed the battery cover was slightly raised near volume rockers no big deal im not a petty customer heated it up and held in place with case on and is fine now. However plugged in with turbo charger supplied left for 1 hour , click power button empty battery icon comes up to indicate its charging but as soon as you hold the power button the logo dissapears and nothing comes on the screen?

I dont think its dead but completely drained beyond control and would need boosting via a power supply?

anyone experience this make believe issue?

Hello,

Right now I have RUU_Hermes_QTEK_WWE_2.11.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship installed. Right after I got the device (I *think*) I put Hard-SPL-V7.zip on it and then flashed with above ROM.

Q1: If I were to install HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108 now, do I have to run Hard-SPL-V7.zip again, prior to running the new WM6 ROM, or can I just go right ahead now and install the WM6?

Q2: If I were to run now the Hard-SPL-V7.zip again, would that do any damage?

I already lost one Hermes due to upgrading (managed to get a free replacement though), so please, I need 100% answers!

Thank you!

Kosta
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] todd_jg:
Q1: No, you don't have to reinstall hardspl.

Q2: It would not hurt it if you tried.

Hi everyone

my mother got a Blaupunkt America smartphone and it's almost impossible to find anything of it on the web.... the manual is purely in german language.

I can surf the web with no problem but I'm not able to play any youtube video and market app does not work either.

I have tried to manually download root apps (framaroot, gingerbreak, z4root... etc.) and insert them in the SD card but I did not get success...

I also have downloaded root software for Windows but none is able to root this fu** phone or add new ROM's

what do I have to do ? why does market app work for other people ? :(

s3.vidimg.popscreen.com/original/13/eG93dzJjMTI=_o_blaupunkt-america-test-review-hd-deutsch-german-.jpg

I'm sorry if this is not the correct place for posting this message.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Pre-order only at the moment but if it's anywhere near as good as the round K8 / K18 it will be worth it.

Slightly smaller screen but great looking build quality http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_263293.html
[Other SmartWatches] simple1i:
The smaller screen might help the 450mAh battery life, assuming the spec's are correct.

You can't trust these website, including Gearbest, inaccurate details, dodgy delivery. But that's what we pay for.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Very true :)
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
WOW I think this might be my new smartwatch! I like the silver version but it is not yet on presale. I think I will wait if it is available for sure and maybe buy in another store. I had my problems with gearbest in the past with a smartwatch lost on the way and it took a lot of time and help from paypal to get my refund at last.

But this watch looks really great and specs are ok. I'm really looking forward to this :fingers-crossed:

New Watch K8 mini

Hey, I got this watch are very satisfied. I installed two OTA update. They solved the problem appeared to K8 APN. APN can now add manually. Battery lasts about two days. Full load in 45 minutes. A good day. Please your opinion.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Thanks mate. Mine should arrive in a couple of days.
[Other SmartWatches] galaxito segundo:
I bought one. It will take a while for it to arrive though. The question is :will K8 big model updates and fixes work in K8 mini smartwatch?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Most of the updates and fixes will have been implemented already when you get this watch.

The software will be the same but resolution will be slightly different.

I'm very interested to see if the TFT screen on the new mini will use less power than the OLED screen of the larger K8.
[Other SmartWatches] galaxito segundo:
Me too. It is going to be my first smartwatch. Since lg urbane 2nd edition was cancelled I have decided to give cheap smartwatches a try. So I do not expect high performance, although I am curious about the device.
[Other SmartWatches] ryvandal:
Would love to see an actual review on this, I have been eyeing for awhile.... Love the circuluar frame, and the smallness of it.

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

How much space does this watch ACTUALLY have?

It says on all the websites: RAM+ROM: 512MB (471.89MB available) + 4GB (3.59GB available)

But on the video:

https://youtu.be/SufIK4Rh_vs?t=4m12s

right at 4 minutes and 12 seconds in device memory it says "used: 1.21 gb. available: 106.95 mb"

So is this false advertising? 100 megs isnt much memory... maybe like 20 songs... no room for additional OTA apps.... Or did this guy in the video use up 1.2 gb before uploading the video?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
It will have 1.3gb of storage space free. Same as the K8 regular version. I still want to pull the bigger one apart to see if I can get at the storage but I'm almost certain that it's soldered to the board.

How to change faces

Did you now if it's posible to add faces from a wear apk or other apk ?
[Other SmartWatches] ryvandal:
I am curious to this aswell! There are plenty of google apps on the app store.... will they work for this watch?
[Other SmartWatches] cdespina:
To me it has 2.1 Gb free.

Does it have any "health" app installed? I've bought the NO.1 D5 that's the same, but I don't have any health pre installed app. Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] cdespina:
It Is. Pedometer, calories calculation and heart rate.
[Other SmartWatches] hystrix65:
Can you please add an image of the icon of the app? thanks
[Other SmartWatches] mike_79:
Ordered one.
[Other SmartWatches] mled_6:
Can you confirm me the dimensions and weigth, please?

- K8 : 47*58*13 mm and 55g

- mini k8: 46*55*12 mm and 78g

Is this possible????

Thank you so much

Another question: the only difference is the screen?
[Other SmartWatches] hideffer:
Glad you got it working. I'm sure the files that [MENTION=517216]pablo11[/MENTION] attached would have also worked. Thanks for the app recommendations. I will probably install the Remote Shot application. I have a Pebble watch that does the same remote camera trigger function and it would be nice to have on the K8 Mini.

I believe it was [MENTION=6786847]smartwatchticks[/MENTION] who recommended "CALCU" for a calculator watch and that is what I am using at the moment. It is not perfectly aligned but I like the utility.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Yep, that's the one. You can reach all the buttons even though you can't see the "1" or "=".

And for a tip calculator, I recommend Tippy Tipper (I tried a huuuuge number of them and most are junk on this round watch).

For stopwatch try this apk: Stopwatch-uk.co.dedmondson.timer.split
[Other SmartWatches] Loopoo:
Here is an other one:

at f-droid.org -> home.jmstudios.calc

The field with the dot (left/bottom)) is still sensitive. The bottom bar can be slided upwards for additional math functions.

Battery drain

I have the K8 mini just for two days, but I suffer from a huge battery drain. Even I switched of WiFi, GPS, data transfers, it still consumes more than 10% of battery in one hour. :confused:

Any suggestion? Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Factory reset., do not install any apps after the reset. If it's fine, then install one app per day making sure the battery life is good each time. If it's not fine after the reset, there may be a deeper issue.
[Other SmartWatches] tibinet:
I havent install any application yet, it is still in the state as I received it. But for sure, I will give a try.

Thanks a lot
[Other SmartWatches] tibinet:
Update: I tried the factory reset, but without a big difference. I can go over 10 hours battery life only in battery saver mode, what is bad.

Should I try to install the custom ROM?

I read that the stock launcher drains a battery, in my case it is around 15%. I installed the Nova launcher, but how can I come back to watch screen from Nova launcher (I mean without stock launcher)?

Thanks...
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Try the ROM. The whole thing about the stock launcher being a battery eater I could never duplicate on the D5.

Anything other than the stock launcher = no K8 mini / D5 watchfaces.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Thanks for the lead on this. I installed it and you're right, it works well on my D5 (and I assume K8 mini as well). Now we have two options!

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Maybe check the download TAB on the top of the original post :)

I think it's been taken down for a bug check at the moment though...
[Other SmartWatches] tibinet:
I think so because I checked the download tab, for sure
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yeah, I think there's a cellular 2g issue
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
I put v1.2.0 back up in the new thread. It lacks the new D5 firmware rotation support but at least is works.
[Other SmartWatches] tibinet:
Thanks!

Does this ROM still support the bringing up the display by hand tilt? Because the original K8 mini stopped to do this, you can bring it up only by the button...
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Every firmware supports it, just most don't have it turned on by default. Here's how to check- Long press the button, power/options menu come up, enable the middle row far left option, done.

Hello,

I 'm trying to improve GPS accuracy .

I've seen manuals to change gps.conf

But it need root,

Can anyone send me the modified file to Spain - gps.conf ?
[Other SmartWatches] tibinet:
Update: I found the solution. If you want just a vibration, you have to choose a ringing in your watch. If you choose vibration only, the Good vibration does not work...

Settings in Good vibration completely replaces the watch settings, thought.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
Posting this on multiple threads as Mobizen has been discussed on each for remote control of Android standalone smart watch phones that have access to the Google Play Store. Apologies for the duplicates, but all of us on all these devices are locked out of Mobizen at this point. Just a reminder, when doing the dual authentication six digit number entry on your watch (yes, you have to do it all over again), if your screen is overtaken with your keyboard for data entry, back out of that and place a check mark in the box on the screen so this becomes a trusted link and you don't have to do the dual authentication process again. Then enter the code and move on. Subtle, but a trip-up point if you're not aware.

UPDATE 3/30/2016: Yikes! Today Mobizen updated their main app, stripped the mirroring out, put it in a different app, and changed their main app to be screen recording ONLY. The impact is that the Mobizen you have been using WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE.

To get Mobizen screen control again you need to download their new app, "Mobizen Mirroring" from the Play Store. Here's the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsupport.mobizen.cn

Download this, get it up and running, and use it to get control of your watch. Then, use this new Mobizen Miroring app to navigate through the opening screens on your old Mobizen app (now Mobizen Screen Recorder) to get it configured if you want to use that recording feature on your watch, otherwise back it up with your App Backup and Restore app and uninstall it from your watch to free up space. You won't need it for controlling your watch.

[Other SmartWatches] hideffer:
I had a similar problem. I opened the watch and disconnected the battery for a minute, reattached and rebooted. This helped with a completely "dead" watch to a watch with just the logo screen. I then used SP Tool and flash the K9 firmware on my K8 Mini and my watch is back to normal.

good morning

Apparently this watch is the same no.1 D5, may be i am wrong. But if i am right, can i use the firmware of no.1 D5 in this k8 mini?

If it is not possible, Is there any firmware for k8 mini or some official web like no.1 ?

Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I still haven't got mine yet so I cannot confirm.

I am hoping that the firmware can be used on both devices as they are exactly the same hardware, however the D5 or the K8 mini may have some software security and so caution is needed.

He use Smartwatch to run an listen music whit Spotify application,

the problem is:

The data connection enters the energy saving 10-15min, the streaming music application stops working.

I've looked at all the options. Android custom is limited and can not see more options .

Is there any solution for this?

I hope understand hahaha

Please don't try root the watch until we have made sure that it's safe to do so. We have a development project for this and the K8 round watch and the No1 D5.

If you root it now you may prevent future updates from working on the watch.

A little more time and we'll be able to share some great results with you guys. [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] is helping me to bring this together and I strongly recommend that you wait for the results :)

I have purchased this watch and coming from and LG W120 and Inwatch Z was not expecting much. Notes: LG W120 has no connectivity apaart from Wifi and Bluetooth waiting for Uk service providers to rally to GSMA embedded sim provisioning; Inwatch Z no sound from vibration speaker. Hence the purchase of the W812A K8 smart watch.

I am still getting used to the watch. Loaded a nano sim and use the watch helper connected to my work phone. Works surprisingly well until to add a bluetooth headset then the connection drops but this is intermittent. A days usage can be obtained most days. I purchased the black version for £91.00 from Ebay. I do not want to load too much on this device; I previously purchased a ZGPAX S8 which had the smae amount of RAM 512 which could not cope with the text2speech software I threw at it. I have subscribed to this thread and wait to read other users experiences.

Is the No 1 D5 and W812A K8 clones of eachother?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Looks like it. Slightly different software but exactly some specs and build quality.....

I don't exactly, but i can say that i downloaded the firmware of no.1 D5 and in the scratter file you can read:

"partition_index: SYS0

is_download: true

OK, thanks. I can wait until you can give us more information. I'm testing the battery in some scenarios (only clock, pedometer, pulse, bluetooth, wifi,...).

Has anyone tried to install live wallpapers and especially the watchmaker lwp on this watch?

Today I got my No1 D5 which is quite the same watch. I installed nova launcher because I wanted the classic homescreens and it worked very well. Then I installed the watchmaker lwp but it doesn't run. I get the message: 'Unfortunally this device doesn't support the Live Wallpaper chooser. You may need to upgrade your firmware.'
