What do you think of this item :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=160314536910 ?
Has anyone tried it ?
Yup. Comes stock with the ATT Fuze. I think you have to edit the registry to allow video output with the adapter. Iv long forgottn, but yes it does work as advertised. Allows charging while using headphone jack which is nice for that nap on the couch, or playing movies on a tv.
i ordered one of these 1st one did not come but got 2nd one.absolute rubbish is all i can say.The on board mic is an anoying waste of time as u cant switch it off,an annoying humm comes through the sound to the tv in tv mode(pic not bad),dose not sound as good as inline 3.5 adapter allso dose not allow booster and it is ruddy hugeso forget useing it in yer pokket so i would not recomend it but thats my experiance off it
cablesmith warning
I tried to order that cable but all I got was the confirmation that PayPal paid him. Nothing after that. No communication, no response to emails, and obviously no cable. Filed dispute with PayPal and keeping the details up to date on www.myspace.com/ebayscammed
I researched this after I ordered mine several weeks ago before he stopped selling them and found where someone had written this, which was same experience for me as well:
"The one I got from cablesmith worked great for me. He had a close family member pass away and just didn't take care of business stuff for a couple of weeks. When I finally got the device I noticed it seemed to give an audible hum on the TV, but I read the instructions provided and was able to take care of it by putting the volume on the phone all the way up with the TV volume down a bit. All functions work perfectly as advertised."
Hey guys, I finally got my Mini HDMI-to-HDMI cable today. I came straight home and right away tried to hook it up and see how it worked. I plugged it into my phone and the tv. then opened the gallery app. i got an interesting rev-Play-fwd screen. when i hit play, it tells me that the file type isnt supported. this makes no sense to me since it should only use this file type. am i missing something here? has anybody else had this problem? am i doing something wrong?
Thanks
what file was it? did you take a picture, or video and try to stream it to the tv?
It's deffinately a bit quarky. Mine will work on my bedroom tv but not my living room tv. Which sucks because the bigger one is in the living room. :/
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yes, im trying to view the pictures i have taken with the phone.
Buggy? well that sucks... ill have to try another tv then. i only have the one, so i'll have to wait till im near another.

Agree.... someone needs to buy and review it!
I just ordered one last night. I'll do a review and possibly a video when I receive it.

I haven't received it yet. These things usually take awhile to arrive since they are being shipped from China.
When your GT08 does arrive, I was wondering if you'd be willing to answer a few questions about it for me:
Does it have a compass? I've seen some product descriptions say "yes" and others say "no". (This is a very important feature to me, for no valid reason whatsoever other than it's cool to have a compass on your watch.)
Is it water-resistant? I don't necessarily need to go diving with it, but something that could survive a quick hit by a water faucet would certainly be useful.
How customizable are the watch faces? I know that it comes with several built in, but is there a way to make a custom watch face?
Is it usable WITHOUT a SIM card just over Bluetooth?
Thanks, and let's hope those ePackets have swift wings!

I just received it. I will still do a more thorough review, but for now I will answer your questions.
There is no compass. Sorry.
I'm afraid to wash my hands while wearing it. I don't think it would survive.
There are 3 watch faces and they cannot be customized.
It is usable over Bluetooth. A lot of the features require an Android phone, so I cannot test them because I have an iPhone. The phone features work and all audio from the phone (music, voice navigation, etc.) can be routed through the watch.
Keep in mind I've seen multiple versions of this watch, so my answers may not apply. Mine has a mix of iPhone and Android icons. I paid $60, so I can't complain. Video review coming soon.

Sneak-peak on how it's look like:
youtube.com /watch?v=my439mw5zOA
Has anyone can make a rom dump installation freware to watch if I give this dump rom?
It is called Aiwatch GT08?
This smartwatch costs only €39,99 on the site tidybuying.com
I like this smart watch and price is relatively low.
It has 1.54 inch screen,
ROM 128 MB
RAM 64 MB
and it supports 2G.
Firmware for GT08
Hi
I'm looking for a firmware to download, because my version has only English and
Chinese languages installed.
Thanks
Klaus
I bought the GT08 smart watch today and can't wait till I get it. I noticed that there were lot of different names for the same thing (GT08, CK3s, Oumax S6 etc...) and the screenshots on the watch look slightly different, so there must be different firmwares. Does anyone know if the firmware can be downloaded, edited or flashed in some way? Is it possible to install apps or games on this system? Java apps perhaps? This would be sooo cool :fingers-crossed:
any good review ? please include available watch faces and what do you think of it ? is it worth buying ?
Smartwatch GT08 / CK3s / Oumax S6
Ok I'll try a short review then...
Hardware
The watch arrived today and on the first sight it looked really cool and good quality. It's big of course but not too big and I like the design very much ( seems they 'borrowed' it from the apple watch) . The belt can not be changed because it contains the nfc antenna. This is bad, because the shutter is really annoying and bad quality. You can insert a micro sim card and a TF card into the watch, so it can be used as a phone itself but I didn't try it out. There is a built in camera but it has only 0.3M and the pictures are really crap (sorry for that). The screen ist colorful and bright but its not IPS and the viewing angles are very small, the touchscreen works very good.
Software
The watch has some strange chinese proprietary firmware and not android wear so it is not possible to install any apps. In fact it feels like a litte time warp to the time before devices had android. There is a filemanager and I've copied some java apps to the watch but the system doesn't know what to to with them. Some of the pre-installed apps don't work either. There is a browser (useless because you don't have wlan or 3g) and a FM-Radio which is also useless, because you have to plug in earphones as antenna and the watch simply has no jack für earphoes. One app is a qr-code to download btnotification software for your smartphone, but the code points to a dead link. There is a pedometer that works, but I don't know what it actually does (at least it doesn't count steps) and some other smaller things (alarm, stopwatch, voice recorder, sleep monitor, etc..)
There are only few possibilities for personalisation: 3 (boring) analog watch faces and 3 themes (meaning backgrounds for the menus).
Bluetooh pairing worked well and after I tried some apps from the playstore I got notifications from my smartphone at last. I was able to remote control my smartphone to make and receive calls with the watch and to access the contact list of my phone. I've tried to use a bluetooth headset with the music player but the sound quality ist so very bad, its abolutely useless. So you have to play the music on the tiny built in speaker but who would want that? So the music player ist also useless, which would have been an important feature for me.
my opinion
Don't buy! I will definately return it to the seller, because it is so very not what I wanted.
Ok, it is a cheap watch with benefits and a telephone funktion. The design and built quality is very good for a chinese smartwatch but when it comes to usability, customisation and all day handling there is hardly anything positive to tell. I wanted to post pictures but I didn't understand how. I clicked the icon and was asked to enter some url? Anyway there are some reviews on youtube, just enter one of the names GT08 / CK3s / Oumax S6 which mean all the same device.

did you try the mediatek app ? it allows you to some stuff, from playstore. does it look cheap ? I think the bezels are too big for the screen. How much did you get it for ? I have a store here selling it for 68$.
Plus, I have seen it pop a keyboard for typing an SMS, and have a reasonably long battery life. I don't know why you didn't like it. What makes the galaxy Gear 1 for example more special than this ? (forget S-crap)
And did you try having the earphones in THE PHONE, maybe that will make the radio work on the watch, just some thought.
Yes, I used the mediatek app. Thats how I made the notifications work although I had some troubles with it loosing the connection or crashing the app. It was not possible to install anything over the app onto the watch, maybe it is made for other models or firmware. It also didn't look, as if there were lot of possibilities with the app and the app had nothing to do with a playstore.
The watch has the ability to write sms and pops up a small onscreen keyboard. It is really small but can be customized. I didn't say I like the Samsung smartwatches better, I didn't try and it would be too expensive and without a real phone funktion. Maybe it's not yet time for a good and cheap smart watch, using real android. There are some offers from simvalley, but their models look really big and ugly.
Of couse I can put earphones in the phone, but what use will the watch have then? It is possible to stream music via bluetooth from the phone to the watch but not the other way. The fm-radio is a feature of the watch and needs the earphones plugged in the watch as an antenna, otherwise noting will happen. I thought it would be possible to use the watch as musicplayer without the phone, but it doesn't work good with bluetooth headset.
I payed about 60€ for the GT08 from a german seller, but I know there are offers from chinese stores about 35$. For me it was important to have the ability to return it easily if something wasn't right and get my money back then.
I have noticed that another member of this forum (BigBison420) has made a review of the oumax s6 smart watch some time ago which is the same device. for additional information it might be worth reading. I'm sorry I can't post links yet, but I'm just new to this forum.
---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------
I mentioned in my review that I will send back the GT08 smart watch, because it was not the real thing I was looking for. Now I found a new device which has nearly the same design, a better screen and runs on android (including playstore). It is just called K8 android 4.2 3G smart watch, I don't know if I'm allowed to tell the sellers page (I cannot post links yet). Here some specs:
OS:Android 4.2
CPU: MTK6572 Dual Core 1.0GHz
GPU: Mali-400 MP
RAM+ROM: 512MB+4GB
Bluetooth version: Bluetooth V2.3
Display: 320*320 pixels
Camera: 2.0MP
Support MP3/MP4/GPS/WiFi/3G Function
Compatibility：Compatible with Android smart phones
Notes: Provide E-file English manual
Note: This phone will only work with GSM+WCDMA networks: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 850/2100MHz
It looks really promising and seems to be a lot smaller and more beautiful than other android watches with those specs and it'll cost below 100$. I can't wait to get it, but delivery will last about two weeks or more. If anyone is interested, I can do another review, altough I didn't have much practice on that...
