Just wanted to know if Android Wear could be put on the GV08 smartwatch? The mediatek processor it uses is clocked between 500-800mhz and there are other watches that runAndroid with this processor in them. I've built roms from source but have yet to dabble in Android Wear stuff. Thanks!

There are no watches (or any other devices) that run Android using the MTK6260A processor. There are plenty of sellers on sites like Aliexpress and DHGate that claim the watches run Android...but, they all run Nucleus RTOS. The processor clocks at 360 mhz, not 500-800 mhz. The memory requirement is another issue. KitKat, which Wear is based off of (it's Android 4.4w), requires a minimum of 512 megs of RAM. The GV08 has 64 megs of RAM.
So, no. It's not feasible. Even getting something like Android 1.0 on there would be challenging and would require a development board.

Okay, thanks anyway . I only paid $35 for it so I'm not sweating it. Waiting eagerly on this LG G Watch R!! That's where the money is going!

I have a GV08s which is a nice smartwatch but it keeps disconnecting from my Galaxy Note 2 and will not keep a BT connecting. I also have a U8 which is not as nice, but connects without a problem. The problem appears to be with the GV08s...just not sure if it is this particular watch or if the GV08s has a problem...also I cannot change the weather to our local weather...nice screen, can see it in the sun and also the menus are great, just wish it would hold a BT connection.
Also, I checked the IC and it is a NS06272, I am not sure if this is partially compatible with Android, as I really like the functionality of the watch and would love to get something that is similar, but will stay connected to my Galaxy Note 2.
Can we port android wear to Fifine W9 smartwatch
Hello,
I came to this thread while searching for any method to port android wear to smartwatch running on android Kitkat Firmware. I have Fifine W9 android smartwatch , with KitKat 4.4 rom and 1 Gb ram.Its batterry is 400mah and processor is MTK 6572 .I rooted it using Kingo root.
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)
Kindly help me
Hello everybody, and happy new year! (kinda late )
My question is, that which phone is better. What do you think about these phones and do you have some experience with these phones??
There are a lot phones at the price around 230$, but these are one of the best ones for that price. (I think)
I prefer Galaxy S3 Neo, because of its functions and because is not that big as ZenFone 5, and because of its Android. ZenUI is not that bad on ASUS, but there is almost everything new and you need accustom to it. What I "hate" on the ASUS is design of the phone, but it doesn't matter. On hardware I think ASUS is better, but in camera not, it doesn't have that nice quality pictures and on S3 Neo look better. I will be happy If you post some about these phones what do you think is better and if you have some experience with it, if it is lagging or something like that. Just If you're happy with that phone (if you own it). I don't understand a lot a technology and I'm not expert , sorry for my english and hope you will post something. Thank to everybody.
Zenfone has 2 cores at 1.6Ghz and the S3 neo has 4 cores at 1.2/1.4Ghz. I dont know about cpu cores in mobile devices so i cant tell if those +2 cores are something wow.
ZenFone 5

Yes, it is true, but everybody says that its "behaving" as quad core 1,6 GHz... (btw. S3 Neo in my country has 1,4 GHZ CPU)

Well antutu says its 22k and the s3 neo is about 20k points. So probably take the zenfone 5 because of the bigger screen but i dont know if it matches the s3 neo in multitasking and general speed. Is it like "Zenfone 5 has an intel cpu with 2 that matches an amd cpu with 4 cores"?
I would always prefer to take qcom device because there is huge support from codeaurora and google ....
Also 1.4 x 4 ghz > 1.6 x 2 ghz , AMOLED > IPS ...
Well, I'm mostly listening to music, sometimes play games (games like Clash of Clans and more...) and browse YT or internet, so I don't think that I need some great multitasking. BTW. I have heard. that ZenFone 5's battery at Android KitKat is really draining... ASUS's Intel CPU is not acting like dual-core, there are some enhanced functions, so it's like quad-core. Also, ZenFone gets Lollipop on April, but i don't think that I need it too much . If you look at GSMArena, people are really happy with S3 Neo, but ZenFone, everybody talking about bad battery, and camera... - So, may I choose S3 Neo?
You can post some other phones for that price, for example some other brands, S3 Neo and ZenFone 5 are the most liked for that price in my country.
I'm not using my phone for games, I need some great phone, which has good battery life, big RAM (because I have a lot of apps on the background) and camera too.... it will be good, if it has some new Android (Lollipop).
ey,
I'm debating getting one of these two units.
https://www.carjoying.com/in-dash-g...gation-system-support-steering-wheel-con.html
http://www.in-dash.net/buy_en/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=188
So heres the dilemma. The joying one is a9 quad core, but only has 1 gig. Plus, while I know joying isn't high quality at least I've heard of them.
In-dash is octocore (which is really just a second set of pointless quads) a7 but 2 gis of ram.
I currently have a pugug dual core a9 with 1 gig.
Is the 2 gigs more helpful or the a9? Does anyone have experience with in-dash?
Can in root the joying or upload a newer version of android on the joying?
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello, Im pretty much like you so I've come to share the info that I've got so far
The Joying Units are the first to have Android 5.1.1 lollipop in about two weeks, this units also are under testing to have DAB and now have a cold boot time under 20 secs, you can see this on their youtube channel and facebook page, they have show everything and you can see most of the tests, also you can see many user videos with the 4.4.4 units and I ssume that in a few weeks we will see the ones with 5.1.1.
BUT this units are based on Rockchip RK3188 wich ONLY have SDK support up to android 4.4.4, Joying is doing Lollipop using a very old kernel and some pieces of RK3288 code as far as I know. so this is probably s fr s the RK3188 Units will get development wise, wich is a pitty becuse its a powerful enough chipset for car lo last long time
On the other side the InDsahnet units are using the Allwinner A83T (maybe at 2.0GHz top) Octa Core with 8 cortex A7 cores NOT 4A7+4A15, the A7 is low end vs the A9 middle end, but draws less power and produces less heat thant the A9, if well implemented this could mean longer standby times and less fan noise, the GPU is a PowerVR SGX544MP wich is a little bit faster than the Mali-400 of the RK3188, this will make difference only in newer GPS Software, the 2GB DDR3 of RAM should make good difference if you have/use many apps, this units are based on Android 4.4.4 but Android 5.1.1 is in the works with the great difference over Joying that Allwinner A83T has official 5.1.1 lollipop support and is powerful enough to have Marsmallow in the future, but so far indashnet has said that there are no plan for Android 6.0.1 yet. This Units re limited to 800x480 resolution if you get the 6.2 inches screen and 1024x600 ONLY if you get the 10.1 inches screen, wich for me is an overkill in size
And now the Big BUT... BUT so far I havent been able to find a real video, review or photo (the photos on their store are generic and low res), so, its leap of faith here for me, I would like to see youtube channel like Joying
Right now my advise is to wait if you can, see the Joying units videos nd reviews in a couple of weeks with lollipop and try to contact InDashnet with to ask for some videos... maybe if enough of us ask for it, they will put up a youtube channel like Joying
Another idea that has been in my head is to ask for new SoM's maybe Joying can fuly use an RK3288 wich supports 5.1.1 lollipop and many RK3188 HU users just need to buy a compatible SoM board with RK3288 and upgrade the software, this has been done before from the RK3066 to RK3188, but we need someone with expertise, Joying seems like the natural choice since they seems to be using 3288 code for the lollipop version of RK3188, for this we should contact Joying and show them tht there is a rel demand... thats what made them create the lollipop rom for the RK3188 in the first place
Finally let me tell you that there are a couple of FAR BETTER units on the chinese market, but they are hard to find here in Europe where I live, this are made by the manufacturer Flyaudio and use Quallcomm Snapdragon 400 (G8 series) and Snapdragon 801 (G9 series) Quad cores processors, this units can go to Quallcomm deep sleep and remain in standby mode for days, booting in a couple of seconds, this units can be seen on web stores and youtube videos and seem to work great.
BUT the stores so far are chinese wb stores or russian web stores, the chinesse web store is TaoBao, wich is actually the store from wich Aliexpress gets all its products, so I dont know why this units doesnt show on Aliexpress yet
I have ll the info and links, but cant post links until I have at least ten posts on the forum, I you want the, I'll send them to you
Hope this post was useful for you and others
As we've posted before, most heating is normal, as phones give off heat when using power or when charging.

Honestly, I don't think there's a problem. Newer phones, with more powerful processors and functions, running more demanding apps, run warmer than older models. We need to know the temperature of the phone that the user thinks is too hot to see if the phone is running within operating specifications.
People who change phones every year will probably not be surprised by today's warmer-running phones. People who have used the same phone for two years or more, probably will be.
And yes, warming is normal. But we want to help you get used to the way these newer phones run.

Arey yar just stop posting here. If you post then make some sense of it. Motorola knows our problems. They are searching for a solution. Finally I say don't post silly comments over here.
Hey guys,
First of all pardon me for the length of this post. I have been following this thread for almost 2 weeks now. And all the statements, made by the senior members/moderators of this forum have been to the same effect, most heating is normal. Infact, one of the senior members even went on to say that he/she would help us get used to the way these newer phones ran! So i decided to find out for myself if this is how the newer phones ran. And as some of our Indian friends blamed us of over-reacting, i also needed to find out, are we posting silly comments? Does motorola really know our problems and are we hindering their 'solution finding'? Lets find out...
Below is the list of some the branded phones in budget segment(except oneplus 3,which i will explain later y i included) that have released in the last one year or so. All these phones were tested by the same person(geekyranjit) under the same conditions. The test was to measure the temperature of these phones after gaming on them for 10-12 minutes. All the tests were done using the same games. Lets find out how normal is our phone compared to other newer phones..
Oneplus 3
Snapdragon 820(Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo)
Current price: ₹27999
Front: 42.0
Back : 41.6(went to 43 in asphalt 8)
Leeco/Letv le2
Snapdragon 652 (Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A72)
Current price: ₹11999
Front: 40.1
Back : 40.5
Xiaomi redmi note 3
Snapdragon 650(Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & Dual-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A72)
Current price: ₹11999(32 gb)
Front : 43.6
Back(Aluminium): 38.3
Moto G turbo
Snapdragon 615(Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53)
Current price: ₹12499
Front : 41.7
Back : 42.0
Lenovo K4 Note
Mediatek MT6753(Octa-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53)
Current price: ₹11999
Front : 43.3
Back : 43.5
Lenovo Zuk z1
Snapdragon 801(Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400)
Current price: ₹13499
Front 43.5
Back 44.3
Lenovo Moto g4 plus
Snapdragon 617(Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53)
Current price: ₹14999
Front 45.5(paticularly hot at top)
Back 44.2
Ash from c4etech got 48.6 degree at front top after 30 minutes of gaming. Abhinav from phonebunch got 47.1 degree in the front and 50.3 degree at the back while gaming for 15 minutes without an AC on but in indoor conditions.
Please Note:
All the tests are done indoors under an AC with an ambient temperature of 27-28 degrees, unless specified otherwise. So heatwave has nothing to do with these temperatures.(Not getting personal, just clarifying)
One plus 3 does not fall under the 'budget' smartphone category but i included it in the list because it uses the latest and the most powerful chipset in the midrange smartphone segment. So if such heat was normal in today's faster processors, this phone should exhibit the most heat.
Conclusion:
All Lenovo phones heat quite a bit more than the other smartphones in this category and that is why probably moderators think that such heat is normal. But no branded phone heats as much as moto g4 plus, not even lenovo's other devices in this segment. So how many of u guys think that this is all normal? Except for oneplus 3 every phone in this list is cheaper than moto g4 plus and most of them have almost the same specs. Do u still think that we are over-reacting and everything is normal with this phone?
and yes they give quick charge 1.0??**** moto
yeah this phone has heating issue, I think the main reason is processor, any intensive processor using apps will heat it up quickly, in 10 minutes and I don't think this could be solved with software update, this is bad because it will lower the life of phone, so in my opinion if you haven't got this phone yet, don't buy it, get redmi note 3 3gb ram instead
i already got it just today but i am normal user...fb whatsapp and coc just
I tested with 'Made In China' and 'Made in India' g4+....quite obviously Indian Device is getting more warmer in less time and even Display is not bright enough when compared to Chinese(Original).
What I'm trying to say is people I saw who are worrying too much about the heating issue are owners of "Made in India". Mine is working fine after the Initial update but getting little warmer after playing too much(I play Nova, asphalt) but I can live with this..
So check your device manufacturer .. and I can say if you bought recently(and got USB charger) then it is Indian and If you purchased at earlier it is Chinese
PS: Mine is chinese..not Indian (check your device box for Name of Manufacturer to know)

Bro mine is a chinese one ....... But have found the reason for overheating during turbo charging......... Check out my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/cracked-reason-moto-g4-heats-turbo-t3403612
And ya over heating upto 45°C is just fine its some thing thats common between my
octacore,3gbram moto g4+
Quadcore,1gb ram sony xperia e3d2212
And quadcore,also 1gb ram hp 7 voicetab.......
Its pretty much common in evryphone now a days
But would like to mention something that i had experienced with my xperia e3
Its that after i rooted it and got rid of a few actually a lot of system apps i dint notice overheating in it evn while playing games like MC4 for almost 3hours continuously with my charger plugged it......
In case of moto g4+ therz no bloatware too(very very less bloatware)so it just might be the chance of over usage...etc....apart from the time of gaming and turbo charging i dont really think the phone heats up to a level that u would have to worry(like 3g all day long with whatsapp snapchat and instagram running all day long)......
wanted to know

i want to buy this device from amazon but i worried wether i get a indian made or china made version. i wnt to know is indian version is worth buying cos of dull white display and less powerful charger ???
So i'm slightly confused that there are watches out there like the
NO.1 D5+ with a potential of:
Processor::Quad Core 1.3GHz MTK6580
Operating System::Android
Display::1.3 inch 360 x 360 pixel
Memory::8 GB, 1 GB
Battery::450mAh 2-3 days of use
Sensors::Heart rate measurement, Pedometer, Gyro Sensor, Barometer, GPS
and noone considered to build a custom "android wear" rom for it? my thing is I´d like to have a smartwatch under 150$ with similar specs and android wear.
but googeling it it gives me mostly answers like this: "You can buy an lg g watch like me... it s cheap if you find a second hand one. Me and my friend paid 50€ for one. G watch has no heart beat sensor ,no wifi and other small things but, it s 100 times better than any Chinese watches ."
sorry but NO! just the specs:
Processor::Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7
Operating System::Android Wear
Display::1.3 inches P-OLED
RAM::4 GB, 512 MB
Battery::Li-Ion 410 mAh battery 1.5 days of usage
Sensors::Accelerometer, gyro, proximity,Heart rate monitor, barometer
Battery and Ram are my problems and the only availeable 2. hand watches are the LG G Watch W100 and Sony SmartWatch 2 SW2
really sad.
If someone could tell me if there is a smart watch out there with:
-specs like the D5+ (Quad core 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM, 450mAh)
-android wear OS (even if i have to flash it) (THE MOST IMPORTANT)
-under 150$
PLEASE TELL ME!

The comment you found it's mine, but when I wrote it , no android wear watch was near 150€ price tag. Now you have the ticwatch with android wear that it's better and cost only 3 times the g watch, but do to you a favor and don't buy any crap chinese watch. In any aspect g watch is 100 times better, you don't only need to look at specs, but even at software integration and optimization . Any chinese watch with a full android os or custom os are nowhere near android wear experience , trust me.
With the g watch for 50€ you get a decent watch specs, and maybe the best community support you can find on a watch
naah
Still not what i am looking for
I´d like to have at least stats that are from this year not 2014/15

Where did you bought it only for 109€
Maybe Verizon's Wear24? Its quite cheap now and not so bad looking i think case is not plastic? If you don't mind LTE you can even change watch straps. Quite big battery 410 mAh.
Or full plastic Ticwatch E if you want pay bit more and get future Android Wear system updates and way easier to change watch straps. But small battery 300 mAh
Specs aren't everything they're not having such high meaning in Android Wear like on full Android. Full Android has higher requirements for hardware than Android Wear. Better specs dosent always mean better performance. Android Wear doesn't need such high specs. Full Android that's bit outdated (mostly common 5.1 no 7 yet) is bad for such small battery that's inside Android watches.

I bought it from geekbuying. And I am very satisfied. It is plastic yes, but it has full Android Wear 2.8 features and with the new update I still have 70% battery with a full day usage connected always to my phone and always on display
