Hope it will be useful to G-Note user.

I didn't know about this! Thanks!

Samsung Dive is an excellent tool.
it also helps with few other things.
The other day i misplaced my note under my desk and i went online and made it ring( it rings even in silent mode )

Sounds great! I will have to check this out. I have been using SeekDroid since it came out, but this might be a more fool proof way, since I have had issues with Seekdroid while running practice tests. Thanks!

Doesn't seem to work in the US. Saying my ZIP is not enough digits and I don't see the setting on the phone menu to "find my mobile."
Edit: nevermind, deleted the optional address information. Still not working yet...added +10000000000 (0's are my phone number) since I'm in the US....
Edit 2: I previously had a SGSII on my Samsung account. Perhaps it's trying to locate that device (hehe, the new owner is probably panicking).
How can I delete that device and add my Note?
Edit 3: Nevermind, figured out how to add the Note here:
https://v2.samsungdive.com/help/guideRemoteControls.do
Doesn't say how to delete a device I no longer own though....

thanks for this
Although find my mobile worked fine with me "lock mobile" and "ring mobile" didn't although it is showing as succeeded on the web
any idea?

The FAQ says to delete (disable) the feature on your phone before selling it.
I factory reset it so it had to be disabled as the phone re-formatted.
Oh well. Works on my Note but I hope I don't wipe some guy's SGSII that I sold it to lol.

this is a really good tool, i played around with it for a while and its an asset

guys lock screen and all is working for you ?
any specific apk should be installed?
what ROM are you using ?

Thank you very much! It's working like a charm

THANK YOU!!
I saw this in the settings and wondered from where on the net one can control it.
@ArticCat: Are your phone's data/wifi enabled? 'Cause it needs to communicate with the servers.

Noooooo
No no no no nooooooooo, definitley not, couldnt bear the thought of knowing i was been tracked at any moment, dont like the idea of that software, like the people upstairs dont already have their beady eyes on us, how do we know samsung wouldnt make this info available to the government for some corrupt scheme. big no from me...

Tinfoilhat and all, but any and all cell companies know where you are 24x7. Hint: they could give two ****s.
I, on the other hand, want to wipe my phone if I lose it, so I'm in. Samsung can watch me drive around all they want but I'd be willing to bet they have better things to do, like make Touchwiz more bloated and the like.

To continue on his point, I trust Samsung more than the guy who accidentally/purposefully acquires my phone with all my personal info on it. WIPE WIPE WIPE!

Works great, I had this with my galaxy s and now the note ;-)
And it works very good, I am in sweden.

Motoactv remote control android phone music player

I'm researching The Motoactv and I'm having problems finding information regarding the possibility to remote controlling the music player on a android phone using the Motoactv and Bluetooth. It's one feature I really want to have on a smart watch!
Edit 1: I found a piece of software named Media Remote that act's as a BT headset. I tested with my phone and tablet both are running on the latest version of vanilla root box. It got everything I need play, pause, previous track, next track, mute and a volume controller. But I don't know if it works on the Motoactv.
If someone could test this software or know of something that works it would make my day.
Edit:2 adden link to Media Remote

I don't know if it will or not, but why would you want to? It can hold and play your music all on its own lol. If there's a bt remote app on the play store, it'll most likely work, though.

Well one could use the Motoactv as music player but I'm using a wired hedset and running a cord from my ears to my wrist would look stupid and be in practical. And I got 44gb storage on my phone and only 8gb on the Motoactv I'm looking to buy now. I have collection of audio books and music I like to carry with me at all times.
As stated above in my edited first post it would make my day if someone could test out the application media remote and report back on how it works on the Motoactv maybe even post a image off how it looks.

It doesn't look stupid..I do it all the time. Mind you I'm usually wearing a sweatshirt at the time, so I can feed the cord through the sleeve up to my ear. Works awesome actually.
That being said, it would be cool to control your phone music app with the watch. I'll give it a try when I have time.

So i finally got a motoactv (finding a used one for a good price in Sweden is not easy) and can report that the app Media Remote works like a charm on said device.

Thanks for the info man. Getting my motoactv in two weeks.
Looks better than the sony smartwatch 2 already.
Wonder if it would work to control music on my laptop as well....or if there is something to control slide shows on my lappy. :|

I haven't had any success getting it up and running. Was there any additional setup required on the phone side?

I installed the app on my motoactv but it my phone(Samsung S3) and the motoactv(8gb) will not hold a connection:S

What i did for it to work for me was. Install the app on both the phone and the motoactv, press antenna on the phone and motoactv (to make sure BT is active on both devices) then the magnifying glass on the phone and selecting the motoactv. and it connects for me. pressing the magnifying glass on the watch and selecting my phone will only result in unable to connect or if its connected already it will disconnect. I don't know why that is but guessing it has something to do with the motoactv app already being connected from the phone to the motoactv.
oh and a side note just noticed that you can change the volume using the hardware keys on the watch when the watch is displaying the media remote app (screen have to be turned on).

So I just checked the watch now about 3 h after connecting the phone and watch (when i did my last post) and it was disconnected, pressed the magnifying glass on the watch and selected my phone and it connected and worked just fine without even touching the phone. Its strange that it didn't worked last time i tried. now if I press it again it will disconnect and then a third time it will connect again.

There is another similar to the media remote application. It's called Music Remote. I really wish test both Media Remote and Music Remote however google play is unavailable in my country. And I have no way of downloading the applications (apk's) to my phone or computer.
So I am here to beg someone to please, please, please send me the apk's for Media Remote and Music Remote for testing.
Been searching for weeks now for these two apk's on alternative websites but cant find em. I really want to control my phone and computers music features using the motoactv.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help.

Z01 Android 4.2 3G Smart Bluetooth Watch

Hi there,
didn't find, despite looking, any post regarding the watch I recently bought and about to receive, so take liberty to call for info if anyone has any.
The watch is sold in many sites as:
Z01 Android 4.2 3G Smart Bluetooth Watch 1.3GHZ MTK6572 Dual Core 4GB ROM Camera
Except for "Z01", no specific name or brand. The watch is merely described by its specs, as many other watches are.
The watch looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does anyone have more details on it? Info on the producer / maker? I'm interested in the software it runs and the sources (I know it's gonna be hard to find any).
Update: been more lucky with my second attempt and finding more info on the Net.
Turns out this Z01 is actually the "DW08" by a Chinese company called something like DCool.
Cheers,
Ka.

same that simvalley MOBILE AW-414.Go = iconBIT NetTAB Callisto 300 = Omate Truesmart...
I'm wondering why Omate Launched a Crowfounding campaign for this smartwatch... they are so clever..

looks like another omate clone.
but with newer android??? would be nice if someone could test the rom on a truesmart

@kast have you been on the Omate smartwatch forum to get more info about this watch?
There's also the Z8 thread too. This was sold as Z8 too.
As far as standalone watches this seems like the best option to date. The InWatch Z is better but costs too much for a 2G radio.
What is your experience so far?
Does it come with PlayStore?
How's the battery life?
And importantly how does it work with notifications?
One issue was it wasn't secure.

Would be great if someone could port that watchface to Zgpax.

Hi there,
after a few days with it, can say I'm relatively pleased. Ok, watch is definitely "bulkier" than what the picture in the online store might suggests but it's working pretty well. With the watch forced in 2G, Wifi on (to connect when available) and moderate use, battery lasts about 1.5-2 days, which is pretty good, considering the wee battery it has.
No crashes or crazy reboots... Seems behaving quite nice. Too bad there is no way to get the kernel sources and hack it a bit.
It does come with the Play Store though and can be easily rooted.
Take care,
Ka.

Hi,
I also purchased the same watch phone named WP3 (...?).
I would appreciate some assistance:
First, how did you root it?
Second, is there a way to have widgets such as direct contact dial?
Third, in the watch AD. and checking with "Z Device Test" it "appears" as the watch has compass capability but practically it doesn't work... is it right?
Thank you in advance
George

I purchased an identical watch named "WP3" :
- It is waterproof
- Doesn't have FM radio
- Being waterproof - there are no inputs/plugs of any kind apart from 5 contacts that, using a special adapter, allows you to connect to micro USB.
- The only accessories are the special micro USB adapter and a tiny screw driver for SIM and SD card installation.

Rooting it is not that difficult as "adb shell" grants you a root shell.
With that you remount /system as rw:
busybox mount -o,remount rw /system
Grap the superuser update zip and extract it, then you adb push "su" to /system/xbin
remember to suid it (chmod 4755)
Then remount system ro:
busybox mount -o,remount ro /system
and install "superuser" or "supersu" from the store.
Those will update the su binary properly.
From memory, mind the steps

My previous watchphone was the Z1 having Android 2.2 which I rooted simply running "Z4Root" application .
Is there something similar for this watchphone? Or any tutorial to follow step by step the method you explained from memory?
Sorry to bother you and thanks again for you assistance...

Thanks again,
I tried "SRSRoot" with no success - rooting was easy, the program indicated that the watch was rooted but the "Root Checker" concluded - "No Root Access".
On the other hand, I ran "RootGenius" - http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ (no setup needed) - and it went like a dream - couple of seconds and the watch was properly ROOTED (confirmed by "Root Checker") !!!!

Hello!
I'm happy to hear that the watch feels promising. Everything with it looks pretty good I'd say. I've been drooling for this watch for a few days now and I'm about to order one next week. I would like to have confirmation about some of the specs before buying if you have the time to answer.
1. Does it support sd card? There's not reference to it at dealsmachine dot com.
2. Where did you buy it yourself?
3. Does it have an audio plug? The site says it has 2.5mm audio plug, but I can't see it in the pictures. And the store would like to send a free headset with 3.5mm plug with the watch...
4. Does it get hot when used?
I know there's a lot of clones of this watch and it may have been sold by another name in different stores, but some of them could have some specs different. All in all the sd card support is the most important spec for me.
Thanks!

No need to answer anymore. I already ordered z15-model which seems to be roughly similar to the z01. I did check out some reviews of the site I was going to order the z01 and people didn't seem to be happy with it so I ordered elsewhere.
Z15 doesn't have support for sd cards either (unless there's a hidden slot under the "warranty void" back panel like some of truesmart...)
All the specs seems to be same as in the z01 except the form of the device is a little bit different.
Let's see what I'm going to get.

hi , i would like to know if wattsupp works and if the camera works properly.. thanck you!!

Yes, I received it safe and sound in about 2 weeks of time. Do yo want to know something about it? I could write up a little review about the watch.

Noob question: Apps behavior and wheel control on custom roms.

Hi Guys!
My new android head unit has a very ugly and poor designed software for using while driving, so I'm already thinking about trying a custom firmware or return it and be back to my stereo + cellphone + BT.
Maybe if I list my issues if you can tell me if a custom rom can solve my problems.
If I can't solve it, maybe it can be useful for developers.
1- Sound switching: Some apps like the FM radio do not pause when another app try to use the audio output, so if a want to run, for example, the Deezer, I have to stop the radio first and only after that I can play the music. (could not find another good radio app)
It is not only annoying, but it is kinda dangerous to look soo much to the screen while driving. In the ideal scenario, when I choose the source using the steering wheel control, the chosen app will play in it last state (the music play keep playing the last song, the radio play the last station etc).
2- Automation: For example, in my original stereo, if I remove the USB stick while playing it will go back to the radio or bluetooth and keep playing music. And if I insert it again, it will detect that is the same USB stick and start to play from the same music again.
3- Steering wheel button mapping: Some apps (mostly the radio again) do not respond to the same logic as the others softwares, so, if I press the pause button, mostly apps will stop/pause playing, but the radio will try to find the next station.
Another problem is that the unit wheel software do not map long pressing the keys, so the numbers of commands are very limited.
4- Fast and accurate volume control: That problem is addressed by the Agama launcher using a gesture on the central ring on the main screen and it works very well, almost like a physical button. But again I could not use the Agama as my solution cause I cannot use the steering wheel control to change the source. In the Agama, If I press the source button to go the bluetooth receiver or the radio, it will stay on the app screen and I have to press the home button to have the main screen again.
If you made it until here, LOL, I think it may work something like this:
- You could choose the main apps to be selected by the source button (kinda like it is now, but you can choose how many sources you have).
- In the SWC (steering wheel control) some buttons would be global and others could be send to the application on the source "slot". Long pressing mapping too.
- Some commands of the SWC could change depending on the chosen source, so it can be more useful in different apps.
- Automation: if you are stopped, you can use the apps and the screen as a normal tablet, but if you reach a chosen speed, the unit will go to the home screen and the apps will run in second plane, unless it is in the list of apps that can stay on the main screen while moving (custom).
- Widgets to control radio and music apps could share the same area on main screen and will be show depending on the source choose.
- When moving, the main screen could priorize gestures to control main functions like volume and screen brightness or turn screen off. The gesture priority could stay on until the first single touch gesture. If you are stopped, the first single touch will enable the "tablet mode" again to permit full use of the unit. The gesture priority would be back as soon you reach the set speed again.
Hope it can be useful. =)

Better you return it. ;-)

Sorry to say, but Torsten is right.
Nevertheless... You even did not tell anything about your unit.
What make, which MCU and of course the current used firmware.
May be one would be able to give some answers...

Sorry, I did read the rules, but when I was trying other launchers, the unit stopped to show the screen after the google logo.
At the time I started to write that giant message I was waiting to the seller to send me the recovery files/procedures, so I would be able look at the MCU model and put it in the specific forum. Happen that he did not sent it yet and I could do it. =)
If I can use your patience for one last question before the weekend, can I run those ROMs in virtual machines to see how they work? I do not have much time to decide to return it, so I'm trying to make the best use of this time.
It is 2-din 9 inches generic capacitive buttons unit with automatic Android Auto and Carplay. (2g+32g 4 cores uis8141 CPU). It has a very good screen, it is very fluida and looks amazing in the car. My main problem it is not drive friendly.
I'm not that laze guy. I did watch and read tons of reviews in forums before decide to buy and honestly, I was not expecting to looking for a custom rom so soon, cause nobody tells how it is not drive friendly. To me, I would only change the launcher for a better looking one.
Another option would be keeping it as a learn lesson and join the development group to try yo make my own mods.
Thank you for any extra help!

Sorry, I did read the rules, but when I was trying other launchers, the unit stopped to show the screen after the google logo.
At the time I started to write that giant message I was waiting to the seller to send me the recovery files/procedures, so I would be able look at the MCU model and put it in the specific forum. Happen that he did not sent it yet and I could do it. =)
If I can use your patience for one last question before the weekend, can I run those ROMs in virtual machines to see how they work? I do not have much time to decide to return it, so I'm trying to make the best use of this time.

There is unfortunately no single custom ROM for these UIS8141.
There are 2-3 other threads talking about these units, but that´s it. Just search in this forum for UIS8141.
By the way... Even if you find any other firmware for these units, I would not recommend to use it. You need to give the Chinese guys at least some time to answer. They start working at least 6hrs earlier (for Europe) and leave work 4-6 hrs earlier than we do.
Wait until Monday and send a reminder early in the morning, that your unit has stopped working.

I hope you've written them a short, simple and easy to understand message. Often enough their answers doesn't fit to the question.

Thank you! They send me file to reload the firmware using an USB stick and it is working again.
I was think all those Chinese tablet style units had similar software, like the cellphones works, but the Android is very modified. Next time I will try to buy one with a more popular CPU and firmware.
I do realize if I use the original launcher and apps and change only the standard navigation app it works fine, with a very limited interface in terms of customization and information, but works.
The most interesting part (in a bad way) is the system does not allow android widgets to work, so any launcher like Vivid that uses widgets to do custom screens are useless.
I also kinda make it work using the Agama launcher and the NavRadio to control the radio but still a not so fluid experience. The original is "better".
Thank you anyway, you did help a lot.

It is a good tip. I'm not having problem to talk to the Chineses on AliExpress. They just answer only on question per day. LOL
Since this seller in specific sells a lot of these units, I was expecting a better custom service, but it is very crude. No site, no online detailed user manuals... they did send me a very poor quality video on youtube to show how to force the USB upgrade. The seller store is LEHX.
Thank you for the help!

Same problem with other sellers. The Chinese support is very weak and they don't know much about the devices they are selling. Especially if the question is not standard you often get no valuable answer.

You may try Fcc Car Launcher. This is a widget based launcher and works with a lot of different CPU combination.
By the way:
Exactly this is the reason I buy from Klyde.
I can get in contact with Klyde via WeChat and if I have something special, I have a direct connection to the developer and get information or new firmware within 1-2 days.
I don´t buy this kind of things on AliExpress. I never did that and I won´t do that at all. Cheap small things for some bucks... okay, but nothing over $100.

Me too. I think was the first time I bough something over $50 on Aliexpress. Here in Brazil, if you buy anything under $50 for personal use you do not need to pay import fees.
About the Fcc Car Launcher, I did realize the unit are not allowing widgets from any source to be installed, so none of those nice Launchers work as intended.
But it is getting better. The radio integration is better using the NavRadio app from here and now I'm trying to work around the widget problem.
Found some users here that are unlocking the widgets installation on the Amazon Fire Tablet using the ADB and the config files looks identical to mine. If I can find a USB drive that works, maybe I can make the widigets work and make it look a little better.
After the initial frustration, I'm kinda enjoying tinkering with it. Still not sure if I will install it cause I'm very serious about security while driving.
Thank you again. Regards!
By the way, the only reason I'm insisting on it is cause I think it fits very well on my car (a mk2 Ford Focus) and since it has native Carplay, maybe it will be not so bad to use. We will see...

Need help identifying Android 12 HU

So I got this thing from Amazon there's like 300 bucks on sale so it's worth a little bit more than that which from my experience with previous PX3 px5 systems usually if you spend a little bit more you get a better quality product. But this one doesn't seem to be an mtcb or an MTC I can't really figure out which head unit it is. It says it came with Android 12 and a octa core processor. Also says it has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. It looks very similar to my old dasaita hu. It says the processor is a b200 and I've never even heard of that although it said it came within AC8*** processor here's a screenshot of the setting screen if you guys could help me identify so I can find a custom rom and get some information on what I can do with this thing that would be cool. Thank you.

It's an STM32 type device.

Awesome. Thanks.

Yeah I'm very aware of what the search function is. I just wasn't sure which terms I should be using to search, hence me asking.

Hence providing the search terms in addition to answering your question which was so graciously gratified. I could have remarked without remiss for a post in the wrong forum, including a software development forum for what might be considered a request for others to do leg work
You really don't want a custom rom and they do not exist. Even the MTCD hacks are just modded factory ROMS which largely fix problems.
Suggest relegating the STM32 to experience and replacing with an UIS7862 FYT based unit. Don't take it personally, the forum is littered with posts from those that buy first and then read the forums second to resolve issues or determine what would have been better. Could also be an opportunity to start a new thread in the correct (Android head-units) forum and start (limited) development for this odd ball.
Not (MTCD) requested moderator move to (Android head-units) forum

Yeah you make a really good point. I didn't think it was going to be that hard to find information on this thing. It'd be cool to have a modded ROM for this particular device as it's not necessarily slow. It just needs some love a little fine-tuning and probably a smack across the face. Haha. Yeah I may look into just selling it and getting another one. Thanks for your input I appreciate it

It looks like I just fell into the same hole! Very similar firmware - STM32 - 20220607-11-BD3-57 but mine also says it's a B100 4 core 32gb/2gb and is running android 12 (supposedly - can't be sure based on others comments of the os/cpu, etc. being faked!) - Only just fitted a few days ago and it's working ok with the navigation software included / plexamp / reversing camera. I'm not too worried about customising the rom in this case but the issues I've had so far:
Google apps all run VERY slow - google maps virtually unuseable, play store is terribly slow to download anything.
Bluetooth to ODB2 adapter won't connect no matter how I try
Can't change the start logo as with other models
Under the Factory settings menu you can log on with code 8888 OR 6666 - using 6666 there is an extra menu item of 'Settings Item Hiding' - I'm guessing that maybe further options for setting up ODB2 might be hidden in there but I can't figure out what the code might be!!

Yeah I've been using Aurora store instead of the Google Play store and I found it more than adequate. I stopped using the play store whenever I could. Plus because it's a stereo other people can get into your car or borrow it I don't like being signed into a Gmail account or any sort of personal data being left on there so what I did is kind of a hybrid method. I use Aurora store for all my Google Play needs I just don't sign into Google Play or Gmail or anything and then I use an account that I made just for my car to like get notifications or at the very least be able to sign into things with Google like Spotify and still be able to have like a playlist personalized and all that but not leave any of my personal account data at risk.
But yeah Google Play store Google maps all of its completely unreliable and unusual so I just went in and disabled Google Play store and I'm probably just going to disable Google Play services as well because it's ****ing useless. Unless one of the other frameworks like a minified open source version or implementation of GSF you know just me better success I'm not really sure what else to do. Switching to another browser will help for your browsing needs so instead of chrome I haven't checked to see if chromium is available for Android but I know Firefox works great so I may switch to that. I'm still in the process of setting mine up. I think when I get some down time later on tonight I'm going to actually try and pull apart the wrong and see what kind of fixes or tweaks I can apply to it. Who knows maybe I can at least get the ball rolling on some sort of development for it and then some of the old hands can come in here then show us how it's done. Maybe if somebody show some actual effort into making these particular units worth modifying as far as their software goes other people will start doing it cuz the processor itself shows promise and it's definitely not slow. I mean in any benchmark that I've seen the AC8257 is ranked in like the top three I guess a lot of the rockchips soc.
And yeah I just actually got into that menu earlier and it doesn't open up much it does give you some engineering tools to modify the camera and the radio a bit. I mean other than it being slow for Google services and not being able to change the default launcher very well or customize how it looks I mean it's doing its job it's just in some aspects it's lacking. I'm hoping I can change that so I don't have to go just flat out by another head unit.
