Yes, I confirm, bluetooth is not working good, can't receive notifications from phone and sinwear can't sinchronize watch data.
[Other SmartWatches] jordisalt:
Hi,

I also confirm, bluetooth disconnects every time.

I have an iphone 6, I have tried sinwear app for IOS and the first time when you pair the "blitz" with the app, I receive all notifications from notification center and I can receive call notifications, SMS, mail, ... but after, 1 hour, 2 hours the smartwatch loses the bluetooth connection.

Sometimes it loses also the language configuration and date/time.

I have tried also install other BT apps like LE or BLE and I have the same result.

"Bluetooth disconnects!!!"

In the specifications from smartwatch says that the ios is in development, maybe is the reason for notifications, but I think that the problem for the bluetooth is for all platforms.

I seems that they have a big problem with this.

The battery life if you put hand bright screen to off is better, for me all day.

Hi,

Hi,

I hesitate between several watches, Zeblaze Blitz, No1 D5+ and K9. The only one certified IP67 is the Zeblaze so I think this is my preference.

Can you tell me if it's Micro (as most of phones) or Nano Sim (as iPhone 5, 6,...) ?

Do you think it's possible (using GSM with the watch) to hangup and answer textos with the phone connected by bluetooth ? It's easier to use phone keyboard instead of the watch one.

Is it possible to spell the texto instead of using keyboard ?

Is it possible to download and install new watch faces ?

Many thanks

Sorry for my english...
[Other SmartWatches] artyfarty:
nano sim

for bluetooth features, read previous posts, all users (me too) have problems with bluetooth.

watch faces: you can use only the installed ones (approx 20 watch faces)

spell the text: you can use "ok google features" to make calls, send sms and whatsapp without keyboard

ciao!

Bluetooth is a problem on all these sinsoft launcher based watches I2, S99, Blitz, KW88 etc etc

Battery is also terrible on all except the I2 - if on the newer firmware - but this has phone-call related bugs.

Watch Faces are a no go until we get more info from the Manufacturer - it's coming in August most likely.....

They all use a nano sim.

PS: DO NOT TRY TO CROSS FLASH FIRMWARE ON THESE WATCHES - you will end up with a bricked watch.

They all have security checks built in to prevent this.
[Other SmartWatches] artyfarty:
update: watch is on, battery at 64% --> watch shut down itself. plug in charger --> battery at 0%.

I am very happy about this watch....................... :eek:
[Other SmartWatches] mukyo:
i am so far ok with this.

yes battery wont last long. But usually i just use it for strava without 3G. battery seems to last long with that.

I think after root it should get better. Not sure how to do though

Any idea how to do backup?
[Other SmartWatches] Jappse:
Same problem here. It dies when it's supposed to have around 50-60% left. I'm going to RMA my watch and hopefully get refund. Trying to record when it happens at the moment. We'll see what happens I guess :crying:

[Other SmartWatches] Maastodonte:
Hi guys,

I am quite surprised with your bad experiences with this smartwatch because I am very pleased with my Zeblaze Blitz for now.

I have it since 2 weeks and am very satisfied with it. So I upvoted it :)

I use it as a companion with my phone and only use bluetooth with tethering to have internet on the watch. The bad part with tethering is that I have to activate my bluetooth as a modem on my phone each time I activate it and then go to bluetooth settings on the watch, find my phone and check "Internet access" to enable it. Doing this each time is quite frustrating...

Synchronization is done with the sinwear official app and I receive all notifications from my phone (mails, hangouts, sms/mms, phone call) without a problem.

I tested SWApp Link which works pretty well (new possibility to respond sms and hangouts directly from the watch AND to reject phone call with or without a message, respond did not work for me) and add new watchfaces but it drains the battery too fast for a full day use.

The only bluetooth deconnections I noticed are when I go too far from my phone and I need to resync the watch via sinwear on the phone when I am back but it took only a few secs.

My build is Z9-KY-V06, I made an update directly through the watch right after getting it from Z9-KY-V04 (I think it was a 4 at the end but I am not sure at 100%).

The battery lasts a little more than 2 working days, I power it up when I go to work and power it off shortly after coming back home so I will say it lasts around 25-28hours in my usage. I am actually at 15% on my third morning and will need to charge it not long after lunch.

I did'nt try yet its waterproof functionality but I will tell you if it's still working when drenched while running :D

Podometer is not that accurate (according to it I make some steps while just gesturing or typing on my keyboard while seated) but give a good idea of what you travelled.

I hope it will help you, do not hesitate if you have any question ;)

PS : My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo.

PS2 : I tested Pokemon GO for my wife with GPS and wifi activated and it is working ! I cannot say more because I won't give her my new watch nor am I interested in that game, but if some of you guys are... :D

I'm have this smartwatch but brand Lemfo Lem3. i can't connect with Android Wear, can paired but can't connect stuck in updating screen, Any solve problems ? when i install Sinwear, i understan't but language in chinnese (mandarin), How i install Sinwear in english ? what this smartwatch add watch faces ? how ?

thanks and sorry with my english.
[Other SmartWatches] Maastodonte:
We cannot add new watchfaces for now but you can follow the community "Round Android Smartwatches- ROMs, Faces and FAQs" on Google+ (can't add links), if something new emerges it will be indicated there !

Did you flash the sinwear code directly from the watch ? I downloaded it that way on my phone and it was in english.

Maybe it's different with Lem3 than with Blitz.

------

I tested gesture clock and it always shows for a short second a minimalistic but nice 4 digits bi-colour hour minute. I think it shows my watchface before I updated but I can't say for sure because I didn't use that a lot.

I don't find it problematic not to have the full clock face when just wanting to check the hour, I think it's better for the battery life. But this behavior requires to push a button each time we want to really use the watch and not only check the time.

Talking of battery life I didn't precise that I use a custom level of brightness somewhere between mid and low and that I deactivated all sounds. I am sure those two steps greatly helps my watch longevity :)
[Other SmartWatches] split52:
i cant conecct with usb and my pc, this is possible with this watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Maastodonte:
Yes it is, but you need to plug your watch to its charging dock first.

If it is not working try activating usb debugging in the developer menu on the watch.

Some other people have a problem with their battery, unplug and plug it again a minute later seems to solve some problems.

If yours persists you should contact the vendor.

hi i got a zeblaze watch too..i want to use it just to have remote notifications via bt ONLY.. no interested about using wifi, local apps, or 3g simcard...

the issue concerning continuous bt disconnection from my paired phone (huawei mediapad x32) , for me, is a BIG and SERIOUS issue..since it's related to a basic function (remote notifs via bt) that SHOULD work like a charm :cowboy:

hope to see from split52 the porting of kw88 rom for our blitz ;)
[Other SmartWatches] split52:
hi, test the last port and very good too, for me is the best, ii will make a flashtool rom, one day more and give the link

Hi split52, thank you for the answer.

I see the smartwatch Mlais with android 5.1 that is similar to androidnwear (fitwear app). Do you think that is possible to port that Rom on Zeblaze,Kw88..watch?

Thank you again
[Other SmartWatches] joancargo1:
thanks split52, flashed rom and all ok.

I hope you continue with the development of this watch. Thanks again.

Guys, anyone else has problems with the dialer? Most of the time, when I make or receive a call, I can't hear anything, but they can still hear me on the other side. I need to go back from the call screen and re-enter the dialer to hear normally. Is it a common issue?
[Other SmartWatches] split52:
change my mind, after reading about fitwear, lets work
[Other SmartWatches] Ceccis:
I never installed a rom without a sd card, so, just to be sure, what is the correct order to perform?

Put zip on sd, boot in recovery, flash the zip (or maybe restore?), then wipe everything, reboot?

Thank you man, good job
[Other SmartWatches] split52:
yes, put the xip in sd , recovery, install zip , after finish reboot, cant need wipe, first boot need 7 minuts, enjoy my rom
[Other SmartWatches] Ceccis:

steps for new rom on blitz

My blitz has the usual problem of creeping memory loss.

I am a bit puzzled though.

I install The mediatek usb driver on my windows computer.

Then I install SP flash tools v5.1628

All so far as per the tutorial how to update the blitz.

Then where do i get the custom rom from and then how to install it. There

seems to be several youtube videos of different roms but I'm not sure where they come from.

Sorry to be so dim.

I have read thru the whole thread but get nervous when it says don't do it unless 101% sure

thanks
[Other SmartWatches] split52:
all mtk devices is the same method for flashing, forget 101%.,,,,,,only 100%;)
[Other SmartWatches] macsfax:
Thanks

I have managed to get twrp and root into the phone.

Should save all of the Zeblaze Blitz root deodex.zip onto the blitz and then install that from twrp?

It's a big file.

If i unzip it on the computer which files should I copy to the watch for install?

I'm puzzled.

Thanks.

Hi [MENTION=4560967]split52[/MENTION]

Is it possible to use this across on the IQI I2 platform or KW88 - or just the Blitz?

Was hoping it would be ok for the I2 - I know it's got different screen resolution to the KW88.....
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
I'm really interested in this port as I like the Fitwear. I could give you some help with development and testing, even on I2 and KW88.

Let me know
[Other SmartWatches] Sam CWS:
I am not sure about the battery life but do seems like dropping very fast because I just open and try it for a few hours and notice the battery already dropped to abt 50-60% . I also notice the followings:

1) Even it's a 1.3 Mhz quad core processor, it seems to take a bit long to installation an apps.

2) Not sure whether is there a 512mb rom and 4 GB of ram build-in or not but seems like it's over memory is only 2 GB. I just installed the update of Google Play Service, Google maps, youtube and it said "Not enough memory" when I tried to install "Email" (yah, there's no email but only gmail) apps. It show 1.7xx uesd / 0.2xx GB left.

3) I took a picture and tried to copy it to my computer by connecting it through mini usb and it can not be recognised! Sinwear can transfer but can not receive photo from the watch.

4) Other then watch face is nice with the round watch face, most apps are not suitable to show in round format.

5) There's no common apps like compass (no build-in sensor), calculator, calendar (schedule) and email pre-installed.

6) The "Notification" apps is just to notify you there's a message or a call came in. It doesn't show the content of the message or you can answer or reject a call.

Overall, I still love my pebble watch although it cannot play sound, small low res non-touch screen and simple color format. It works much better.
[Other SmartWatches] split52:
its the same mtk chip, so, only change your boot.img(your boot.img from your i2 or kw88) in my files, flash it, screen resolution is not a big problem, maybe with your boot.img you dont get root.

hi there,

has anyone experienced overheat problem? i use this watch mainly for jogging and a radio app is a must. however, try several radio apps and the watch turns hot after a short while. difficult to solved, right?

i have tried two 3g smart watch from china (the other one is X3), overall they are good. but the overheat issue seems cannot be avoid during downloading data and using FM radio app.

i have never used other big brand name smart watch comes with sim card such as LG urbane or samsung gear s3. is the overheating problem all similar in such a small watch equipped with 3g／lte? anyone have ideas whether these watch have similar problem or not?

[Other SmartWatches] Ceccis:
This issue is really annoying. I was using 3g with tethering to download a 300mb file on another device. The watch went really hot and it was draining battery faster than charging.

If I use 3g to make a whatsapp call, the same result: after maybe 15 min, 30% battery drain and I get the message that the battery is too hot and I should remove it (yeah sure, I wish I could).

This is giving me troubles actually...

Unfortunately the I2 has a secure boot image :(

Every time we install TWRP it is fine - until you change the system partition.

Then everything is locked - like crypto locker.........
[Other SmartWatches] macsfax:
I have got the sling52 rom installed on my blitz.

Some tips ensure that you allow usb debugging.

I had to install pdanet desktop on the windows 7 computer and then the blitz was recognized thru usb.

Then download the spflashtool to windows computer.

Use download agent button to select MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin

Next select Scatter-loading and I used MT6580_Android_scatter

Then attach watch to usb connection and make sure power is off.

Then click the green download arrow and after the bottom bar has gone to 100% yellow and downloaded a tick appears saying successful.

Then close sptools and disconnect watch, I plugged into a power supply and then rebooted the watch and after a cup of tea new rom had installed.

More memory and the battery is good, but I can't receive texts, can send them ok, also can use 3g.

Haven't worked out the answer to this problem yet.

Hope this clarifies things for the nervous who want to use the split52 rom.

If you swipe to the left when on a call and then select "back to call in progress" the sound comes back on. It's a workaround for now

GPS sensitivity

Hi !

Can anybody test GPS sensitivity of this watch. I was testing it and it is very very poor. I was using "GPS Test" application. I have never seen green signal bars (some yellow and most orange, and rest gray) even at clean sky. When i put it on hand the sensitivity going down - drastic signal level drops. I was trying to running - no way - any track. I want to compare to other. Can You help and test it?

Hi mate,

I get the system partition is too big error when I got to flash in sp tools

Any ideas? I guess it's the scatter file ...

Attached original I2 scatter

Thanks mate
[Other SmartWatches] split52:
try again with this one, only flash my boot.img.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
You mean literally just the boot image?

i2 - i thought I would flash your system image and boot image and be ok ?

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

I mean - just drop your sys and boot images in with the rest of my standard I2 images and flash.

Does your scatter take care of the larger sys partition ?

first try flashing the boot.img, if your i2 boot ok, its better flash my system in twrp mode backup, let me know first with only boot.img

my scatter dont give any error in my flashtool

[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Quick update,

I managed to get it to work by using your system and boot image along with the rest of the standard I2 images, Ciro's I2 recovery and using the upgrade firmware option in SP Tools.

Normally I wouldn't do this but I backed up my nvram with TWRP before I did it, because you have to flash the pre-loader when firmware upgrade is used.

Anyway, all worked out well and I'm very grateful for the work you've put into this. ??

I think it would be better using the I2 system base. Better google integration and icons.

Thanks again though. Great work ?

By the way, Ciro made a TWRP for the KW88 but no matter what we tried, the UI is always inverted. No matter if you edit the default prop in the Z image or not.

ro.software-rotation makes no difference at all ?

I have the source packages if you're interested in how far we got, any advice would be appreciated ??

Cheers

Will it be possible for someone to make a flashable twrp image of it? OTA upgrade is broken for us who installed a custom recovery.
[Other SmartWatches] Maastodonte:
Sadly not, not with Galaxy S5 or any other phone. Sinwear doesn't work this way.

I tested SWApp Link and was able to answer a phone call from the watch, I hear the other person but he didn't hear me back... mic didn't work. Maybe a new version of SWApp Link will correct that, or a custom rom on the Blitz. But this application drains the battery very fast !
