Help Pairing the OUKITEL A28 - Other SmartWatches

Ok so I am no dummy. I have an LG G Watch on my LG G4. I am having a problem pairing *COMPLETELY* my Oukitel A28 with the MediaTek Smart app.
I tried this on the LG G4 and LG G2 (thinking because I have my LG G Watch/G4 might be causing the problem). I paired the phone. It is connected. It synced the contacts. I downloaded the App and went through the motions of selecting notification access and bla bla bla.
But the App never connects. All I see is "connecting..." I deleted the BT profile and tried to load this up multiple ways but all end in the same result.
The weird thing is calls and some things actually go through the watch. I can play music and make/take calls. But all of the other features like Messaging and stuff just says "Pair phone first".
I am not sure exactly what is going on. There are 2 A28 devices found on the phones. Both are paired. Seems I am missing something. I tried this on 2 phones with the same results.

Hi Player911,
I was in your same shoes just this morning but Google helped out.
You may follow the step-by-step guide for the watch at China Gadgets Reviews.
All the credit goes to Stefan Danut.:highfive:
After following these steps, I was able to explore 100% of the watch's functionalities. It is definitely one of the best clones out there.
Hope it helps.

Hi Kempest,
Can you post a link to the instructions you are referring to? I'm having the exact same problem with my A28.

Pairing the A28
Just got mine today (A28) and experienced the same problems.
Solution: Install an updated Mediatek App.
I found the update here: Google Chinagadgetsreviews. Search for A28 hands on first impressions. Sorry, but XDA won't let me post the link!
Look for this text
You can also download the latest version v.2015.07.06 of MediaTekSmartDevice.apk & speechengine.apk from here or from here (12 MB)
The "here" and "here" are links. I clicked on the second (using PC) and downloaded the newer App (RAR Format). Unzipped the RAR and then I copied it to my Android and installed.

Hi,
I have a problem installing the mediatek smart device apk on my oneplus running mokee rom. I was able to download the newest version but get a message "app not installed" every time I try installing it. Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks.

Clarification
After downloading the APK file, you must go to your downloads and run the file to install.

Cool suggestions. I just installed the app from the play store as the built in scanner barcode lead me to a chinese website where the Android version was not loading the page properly.
Kind of silly that the newest working app is out there but the play store has a broken non working version. One would think that would be high priority.

Clarification 2
I installed the PlayStore version first, only to find that it wouldn't function correctly. I used a PC to download the newer version, in zipped and transferred it to the Android. Once on the Android, I just had to execute the APK file. Note my instructions of 11/08/2015.

I have the oukitel a28 aswell, and stand alone i have to say its a pretty good watch for the price. BUT i cant get it to sync to healthkit on my iphone running ios 8.4, anyone else using this watch with iphone?, i can pair it as headset and notifications, but what i really bought it for was the health stats. Ive also read somewhere about some other sync app on the phone that would work with mediatek chip devices, but cant seem to find it again? suggestions please, i know about Mediatek smartdevice and Fundo wear, none of those will sync with ios healthkit..

Hello there, thanks for the suggestion, thats the QR-code link, have tried both fundo wear and the mediatek sync app, none of those sync the health stats, and fundo's servers are very slow and fail most of the times. Such a shame with the sync, when the watch seems great otherwise.

Get Galaxy Gear working with the HTC M8

Hey Guys,
After some frustration, I can confirm that this method works for connecting the original Galaxy Gear with the HTC One (M8) no problem since it's running Bluetooth 4.0 LE, obviously with the Samsung apps limitations.
1. Download Gear Manager 1.6.111801 (com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.apk) (if you are on a page with a whole list of apks, don't lose it!)
2. Change extension from .apk to .zip
3. Transfer to your phone
(3.33 Make sure you have a file manager on your phone. I like Astro if you don't have one already)
(3.67 Make sure you have allowed installing from)
4. Open com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.zip
5. Navigate to assets>preInstallApks and install all the APK (there's something like 16 of them)
6. Navigate back to the original folder and rename com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.zip to com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.apk
7. Install com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.111801.apk
8. Download Gear Manager 1.7.031004 and put it on the phone (com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.7.031004.apk)
9. Run com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.7.031004.apk
10. If your watch is brand new, you're going to have to update it to the newest software: google it.
11. At this point if your watch is on, your phone should start searching for it, and maybe find it. I rebooted my phone once while it was trying to connect and when I opened up Gear Manager, it requested a sync and boom, synced.
Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Weather doesn't work as well as s-voice, obviously, nor does the media controller, but the dialer, find my phone, contacts, camera and photo transfer I can confirm are working.
Edit: after a couple of different ideas, I still can't get notifications working on the stock software. If anyone set up a rommed watch, let me know if you have notifications.
I've tried ATN Manager v1.2.3 for the notifications and it's been a success (I can't read the actual message but the notification is sent to the gear)
Just make sure you go into settings > security > notification access > make sure ATN Manager is check marked

so i setup my M8 phone just like described in the op, my watch has the latest firmware, i try to sync and it pairs it and then tries to connect but it wont connect. I read some other forums that said you need gear manager stub in /system/app. Is that true? anyone have it? Also when I first launch the software it wants to update a gear manager plugin 1 and something else. Am i suppose to let these update? I am not sure how to get around them. Any help would be great. Thanks guys. Would really love this to work.
Thanks for this timely thread. I just got my M8 and an eager to connect it to my Gear. Can you please tell me how I can get the gear manager apks you mentioned? My S4 had already been sold.
Gear fit works with M8
http://9to5google.com/2014/04/12/how-to-use-samsungs-gear-fit-smartwatch-with-other-android-devices/
We have also learned that an initial update of the Gear Fit may be necessary to get this method working. This Gear Fit must be updated with a compatible Samsung device or the Gear Manager app could have trouble connecting with it during the setup process on an unsupported device.

Thanks to this thread I wanted to give it a shot.
I have a Gear 2 Neo and got it working with my M8 in pretty simple way.
Gear Manger .apk the latest from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593066
Install the .apk and run through the setup. It will install a bunch of apks and ask to reset the Gear 2 Neo, but for me its all working great.
I did go into settings on the Gear 2 and check for the watch to be bluetooth visible. Other than that it was a snap.
I have an Factory Unlocked M8 on Att.
Will this work with the Galaxy Gear?? Not the Gear 2, the 2013 version. Was really hoping to get the notifications etc working on my m8 and gear watch. HELP!!
Hopefully this will work. Might have to give it a go with a demo gear at work before purchasing. Thanks for the great guide, and I'll be back if it does/doesn't work for me
Having trouble getting this to work. Will try again later

Hello, did you manage to change watch faces. i have linked gear with M8, however with watchfaces challenged. please advice.
thanks in advance

Is this topic dead? The Gear Manager in the M8 works as in the Samsung? No bugs at all? I don't want to buy a Samsung just because of Galaxy Gear. Now I have a Sony SmartWatch 2 and it works as a charm with my M8... Why Samsung doesn't make the Gear for everyone?!
Any more news or reports from anyone doing this?

Amazfit chinese version Sync with Strava

Hello all,
few days ago I purchased a amazfit chinese version. The phone in my possession is an iPhone 6 Plus.
I downloaded from the Apple store the app Amazfit where I have managed without problem to activate the phone.
Unfortunately, however, I can't do the sync with Strava, there's no way. Tells me to log in on the Street asks me for authorization, and then if I agree I do not go out much.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks to all,
Vincenzo

The trick on Android was to change from Chinese App to the Playstore version as the Chinese watch is not intended to be synched with Strava.
But i don't know how they do it on iOS.
One solution might be to flash the watch to US version and then pair it but i am not sure if that will work.
If they check serial number when pairing it will not work, if they check firmware version it will.

Hello
in the end I fixed it and the sync between Strava and the iPhone 6 Plus works without problems.
The initial problem I think it was Strava as it took a long time to sync. Now I can just go to run and log my activities on the Amazfit then when I get home to pair everything with the iPhone and then sync everything with Strava.

Do you have the chinese amazifit watch with PACEfied?
If so what Amazfit app do you have in your iPhone? In mine there is NO option for sync with Strava, don't know if my app is the chinese one...
So after months, is there any possibility now to use PACEfied with google play Amazfit version and sync with Strava? I can't scan the barcode (it says that I need cn version)

Pulsepoint App notification on these watches

Hey everyone, I had a chance to play with an A1/W88 smartwatch today and noticed that it pushed every notification except for pulsepoint, even after fiddling with the settings and using different bt notification apps in the appstore.
Does anyone know if the GT08, GT18, DZ09, or any of the other ones with stock or custom firmware will show PulsePoint app notifications?
Thanks!
So just an update, someone messaged me and said to try the Mediatek SmartDevice android app and I can confirm that it does push PulsePoint on the A1. I guess I need to try all of the apps and see which one I like best and which ones work or don't.
i am using the fundo app which seems to push everything as push msg correclty - i use the chinese version though, as the version on google play has half the features only.
link: http://ledong.boyu199.com/download/tjdsmart_app.apk (partially text on the smartphone apk is not translated too english, but i can live with that.)
edit: seems only to do allright with mtk2502 ... and is not installable along mediatek smartdevice or other apps like that.

How to install in nubia watch

I have a Galaxy Note 10+(Up to date)

[PORTING REQUEST] Fitbit app for Wear OS 3 watches (apk here)

Here's a thread with the Pixel watch APKs and build.prop - anyone want to look at the Fitbit related apps and see if they'll run on non Pixel watches? I'm picking up a Wear 3 watch soon to try, currently Skagen Gen 6 is still on WOS2, it won't even install them.
Sure it would be nice if someone could port this app. I 've heard that it has very good sleep tracking.
I've used bugjaeger to install the Fitbit APK from the dump on my galaxy watch 5. The app works. Unfortunately it won't let you sign into your Fitbit account. It says unsupported device when you try to sign in.
Thats the main problem. I dont thing it is usefull without login.

Agreed. Since I can already track my steps with Samsung health it's probably just draining my battery by having it installed. Someone that knows more than I do would have to figure out how to trick the app to think the device is a pixel watch. I'm not sure if editing build props is still a think but even if it is it would probably break more than it fixes to change it
Hope that google adds fitbit sleeptracking on google fit or release fitbit for all devises with full features. Then I will desamsung the watch 4..
I could try to decompile the apk and see if there's a list of supported devices, if it's that simple and not a cloud check then maybe we could do it
This would be great....any progress?
