I was just browsing for something unrelated and came across this Q18 watch. I have to say it looks like a good looking watch at a great price. Has anyone got one that can give an honest review?

It will be handy if you could post a review as soon as it arrives. Some photos too please!
"Gearbest" is a fake site:
I order the same items two weeks ago (20th Oct 2015). And I have paid extra for Express Delivery (within 7 to 10days). But unfortunately I didn't receive the product nor refund until now and no one is responding from customer service for my queries. Comments in youtube and other blogs proved, this is not a genuine webside to purchase online.
I've ordered several times from GearBest and only ever had one issue which was adequately revolved so I can't agree personally.

Prior to ordering I checked out gearbest.com reviews on this site https://ca.trustpilot.com/review/gearbest.com
I also got a tracking number on my order which according to the number has arrived in my country as of today.
Honestly, I don't like the look of this watch. I am not going to waste my money on this device until there is any good review on it.
I just received it in the mail today! It took 19 business days to arrive not too bad. On first impressions it's not a bad little device. Feels good to wear very comfortable, nice rubber finish on the band. And the metal finish on my model (grey) looks amazing. I will provide a more in depth review very soon!
Here is a quick picture I took of it

Use any QR code scanner from play store. Install it on your phone. One of the apps on the watch is a QR code. Click it and it brings up the code on the watch face. Scan it with your phone and it will take you to a website where you download the sync software. If you have paired your watch and phone with bluetooth it will now install/sync your watch and phone.
Can anyone do a readback of the firmware and share with me...I need this firmware...

I have this watch and would be happy to give you this information but I don't know how to do it. Is it in the watch settings menu? I have read something about an engineering mode but I don;t know how to access it. If you tell me, I will do it. :fingers-crossed:
How to:
First you have need of a full dump of your ROM. Assuming that you already got a Flash Tool 5.15.16 and drivers,and install them on your computer.
Run the flashtool....
1 - press < Readback > in upper menu and so < Add > in the middle menu
2 - click twice on the item appears in the main window, set name as ROM_DZ choose in browser the path and save
3 - set as Physical start address 0x00000000 and as Length 0x01000000 or 0x00800000 or 00400000 (try them in this order) then ok
4 - turn off the watch, press < Readback > in the middle menu wait 2 seconds and connect through USB your watch
5 - wait until the upload is complete (big green ring)
Can I Update the Firmware of this PoS?
I bought this from eBay, really a FUBAR device, I can't get it to connect to anything for more than a few minutes. I can't get any android wear apps to sync, the directions are done in such a small typeface I can't read them. I heard the android wear just release a MM version and was hoping I could flash it to this device, has anyone seen anything for it out there?

It's requesting a Scatter file be loaded in the Download tab. There are no Scatter files in the Flash Tool Directory. Point me to the scatter files and I'll gladly provide the info.
Pls ask golem he can help you.

Here's the Q18 firmware from my backup:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_EZzFL4XjdLMVlrbkpCLWVscDA
Hi, I have issue on the Wei Xin (WeChat). It failed to download and hence cannot be install. However, there is no problem for QQ.
I suspect the library file point to an invalid Wei Xin URL which resulted unable to download. All the app is actually install in the microSD Card.
I remove my microSD card and all application need to be re-install. I format my SD card and try on QQ. No problem. However Wei Xin is still unable to download.
Is anyone manage to do so? Or can anyone pass me the WeiXin library or app which reside in the microSD card so that I can copy in and initiate the installation?
Thanks!

i'm trying that, seems great application, THX :wink:
Is there a web page for it? I may wanted to try it out. PocketBreeze is a bit slow on my already slowed Charmer. However, I tried a lot of other plugins and PBzz is currently the best on for the price of $10.
One of the thing I like about PBzz is the integration of the Tasks and Appointments on the same screen, and birthdays too. Further, I found the others annoying is the fact that they named tomorrow just like any other date, which may undermined the importance of that particular task tomorrow. Hence, everytime I was looking at my Today screen, I have to particularly check todays date to ensure that if the next task/app on the screen is tomorrow or not.
Do a check
can any body from the ones installed this app tells me if it enables me to set the saturday as the first day of the week or no.
Handy little app meschle! Thanks for posting it.

Thats something your end - firewall or antiviral causing that. It downloads fine for me - try downloading on your wizard through internet explorer.
Ok. I've tested it. My comments as mentioned above,
It doesn't show tomorrow as 'Tomorrow' and, it doesn't even show today as 'Today'. Maybe someone would talk to the author and ask him to make those changes, which is, in my opinion a very good improvement.
But other than that, it is a very good today plugin.
@ meschle
Very nice find! at last I may of found a replacement for pocketbreeze Will have a play for the next few days and see......

Copy the cab file over to the device via activesync - place in \my documents on your phone - click on the cab file through file explorer on the device. Install to device not storage card. Do not unzip the file - cab file is a self installing archive.
right all done - is there anyway of tweaking it though so you can alter how many days it shows?

nice app.
only issue is I don't have an icon for the program?
It's just the generic white program box, yet under the .exe properties, I see the BT/Target icon, so it's close...
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I thought that I fixed the icon thing...
I'll put it on my todo list and check it again.
cheers
Thanks. It works great. To putt a icon by your programs you must make up a Shortcut and cut/paste it in your Windows/startup menu/programs folder.

The icon not in SmallMenu Plus
You are right. I haven't seen yet.
OK, I fixed the Icon bug and also a bug in the cab. A shortcut link is now created in the startmenu.

Can you explain that any further? You start btCrawler and directly press the Transfer button. Then the program exits. Have I got this right?

I also see enormous battery drain while scanning/in transfer mode. hovewer probably it's normal? or maybe it's my OS fault? I use 1.0, will try the newest.
I also don't understand interface, after scanning you can click on discovered device, or choose it from combo box. What's difference?
In transfer mode one device sometimes show a few entries with different services, nice to know which one to use to send file/message/bluesnarf.
Is it possible to snarf adressbook only, or for example files/images too?
Anyway I use MDA2, if you want to know

If you want to make a SDP query for a device you must first select it from the drop down box. The listbox has no additional function.

The program shows multiple entries for a device if this device offers multiple services for transfer. Rule of thumb: For bluesnarfing you stick with Object Push. For file transfer you can use all. I personaly always use Object Push.

Currently only the address book is snarfed but maybe I will add the grabbing of all other (like send/received SMS, call history and so on...)
As for the rest: You are right. I should write some kind of documentation but unfortunately I'm currently out of time.
after enabling BlueSnarf pushing Transfer doesn't cause end of program (?)
In transfer mode new discovered devices gains automatically focus. They shouln't because you can accidentally sent message to another person
Abot BlueSnarfing other thing - images seems to give most fun because you can make great jokes with them

Hm, never had that problem with the program exiting on my devices...but if it's gone and no other has similar probs...
I'll check about the autoselct option and will fix it for one of the next releases.
I'll check the pictuer grabbing if I get my SE T610 back...
i've tied snarfing on my own s55 and Nokia 6010 without success
It would be nice to have optional logging of which phone was snarfed un/successfully
Hi there
this is an OPEN-SOURCE program
After looking for a Quran program for a long time, I realised that there is not a single one which works on these new devices (Specially touch HD)
It has all the functions I have been looking for myself!
I have attached a picture.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have tested it on the following only:
HTC Touch HD
HTC Touch Diamond
+anyone who tests this on other device please tell me if it works!
So here is a program for those of you in need!
Here are the functions:
1. you can bookmark pages
2. It will save the last page that you are in automatically
3. It saves the last orientation of the device
4. Both vertical and Horizontal views
5. Next, Previous buttons
6. Clear, big texts
7. Tap and Hold on pages to choose to:
bookmark
go back to the main page
exit
8. You can choose to go to certain : Page, Part, or even chapter
9. Choose orientation in the main page
10. tap the screen to "Page Down" (particularly useful in Diamond which has a smaller screen)
If this is used in any way, or it is to be published in any other place, IT HAS TO BE FREE as this is an open-source program. And the source code should be included if you change anything in the program!
A work by Benedict.s
Hope this is usefull
Cheers
Instructions:
just unZip and copy the program anyware you want the run the "Quran (Benedict.s) .exe" using the file explorer!
You can make a shortcut in the start menu if you want for easier access!
Note: You do need the latest .net framework installed on your device!

Quality Check
Hi there
Do you guys have had any problems so far?
Anything you want to tell me?
And by the way, would anyone consider any sort of donation if I gave my paypal acount address?
Let me know
Cheers
stupid mistake!
I meant "have you guys had any problems so far" not "do you ....."
Thanks for the great application
I have been looking for such a program even before this Ramazan, but to my unfortunate i couldnt find any.
Once I download and install it, I will post a reply once I go through it thoroughly and check every feature.
Edit:
After going through the screenshots, I can say that this program is based on screenshots of Holy Qur'an, but not a textual version.
This isnt a real solution for those who are looking for features like enlarge and shrink font, so that word wrap will occur accordingly.
However, once I download this, I will post again..
After installing this application, I can say that it didnt live upto my expectations. However, I am happy since i got Qur'an installed on my pocket PC, which is really great and my desire.
I will be looking through for a program which can actually use text, not scanned images of pages of Holy Qur'an, so that I can zoom in and out and read easily.
Thanks for the share once again.
May Almighty Allah bless us all and show the right path, Amen!
Thanks,brother I like yhat it's simple than others as you need to install Mobidiv arabizer to use thier quran
Can someone reupload the source files, it's been removed from the original link.
Update
Hi there
Thanks for the enormous amounts of feedbacks that you gave me! Seriously though, tell me something.... could you tell me if it works on pother devices or not?
And by the way, what other sites do you want me to upload the files?
Tell me the ones you want.
And for the source code, I will reupload it whenever I have time (there is something wrong with my internet recently, I get disconnected regularly!)
Cheers
thank you and may Allah bless you.
Jazak Allah-u Khayer thank you very much, could you please re-upload the source code as I am getting an error message that it has been removed
Thank you
Update
Mirrors on zshare (check first post)
Updated link for rapidshare source code!
I do prefer if you guys downloaded from rapidshare!
Links are now up & presumably, they work!
anyone tried the new links yet?
Look guys, 1153 people have downloaded this application! could you at least give some feedback? any errors? have you tried it on any other device other than the ones stated?
Come on!!!!
Alternatives
benedict.s the following quran apps work on my Touch Diamond;
uQuran from guidedways [dot] com
(navigate to Downloads > Mobile Softwares > uQuran: Micro Quran Reciter)
and
Pocket Islam from pocketislam [dot] com
(Download page link is on the right hand side under the blue Pocket Islam clock icon)
I've tried quite a few and between them they offer the best features (translation / transliteration / bookmarks / recitation etc.)
Out of the two Pocket Islam is the fastest but the font is pixelated and uQuran is slower but supports the higer screen resolution Diamond screen.
both are free
but uQuran Pro has lot more features. check out their website for more info.
Hope this helps,
Habs
Try Pocket Islam... it has quran, namaz timings, audio, qibla etc etc.. and I think its free..
but good effort though

I made this for touch hd! Since the screen size was different than the previous ones, I did not find a working quran program!
About pocket islam, I do not know if it has any support for the Touch HD, but I believe you cannot have big texts in it while having kept the page format!
New Version
OK guys,
a new version will be coming out soon...
with new pics (thanks to "kareeem" for providing the new tajveed pages)
Just thought I should let you guys know...
Hey there. This morning my device offered to get fresh updates, but failed to install because of some system .apk files deleted before, I guess. Anyway, I downloaded a full archive of default system files and tried to restore the necessary ones. However, the updating failed again and I applied data factory reset from the settings menu. The problem is after the reboot Acer is stuck at the welcome screen, offering me to choose a language of the system. There is only one box to choose a language and a "Start" button. Also, there is a 'back' arrow in the left corner but it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

Dear support,
this morning my device offered me to get an update;
however, it failed somehow, and I decided to go for factory data reset after searching over some forums. Now my tablet is rebooted and showing the welcome screen. I can choose any language it's offering, press the 'Start' button or ever the 'back' arrow in the left corner, but nothing happens. How do I fix it or is there a way to hard reset the device?

The Serial Number XEH6LEN0121161C40E1500 failed to match any existing system information in our database, we recommend you verify the correct serial number which is a 22 or 13 alphanumeric character or 11 digit SNID number.
There is no physical label with the serial number on the Iconia Tab A500, but there is a label with the tablet's SNID number on the underside of the MicroSD/SIM card cover. Also, both the serial number and the SNID number can be found in the tablet's menus. To locate both the serial and SNID numbers, simply follow the steps below:
- From the Home Screen, tap on Apps, and then Settings.
- Tap on About Tablet, and then Device Information.
If it is Iconia Tab W500 :
The serial number and SNID number for the Iconia Tab W500 can be found on the lower left side of the back panel of the tablet. Also, the serial and SNID numbers can be found in the tablet's software menus.
To locate both the serial and SNID numbers, simply follow the steps below:
- On the home screen, tap on Start, and then All Programs.
- Locate and tap on the folder titled Acer, and then Identity Card.
We also recommend you confirm if the system was brought from US or Canada as we only have information about the systems purchased from US and Canada.

Have a great day!

Ridiculously failed imho.
Have you tried to ADB? Just plug your pc to your tablet and see if you can:
ADB SHELL
SU
if this gives you the ROOT #, then I imagine you can PUSH/COPY the files that you are missing (probably the phone.apk) onto the system.
Otherwise, I regret to inform you that as of now, the only recovery that is available IS the Chinese update.zip.
BE CAREFUL SINCE THE UPDATE.ZIP CHANGES YOUR BOOT PARTITION AND YOUR OTA UPDATES WILL STOP. There is a work around... we're working on it... jejeje
I like how you put "...it failed somehow..." in your original email to Acer and when they responded in a way that doesn't meet you're expectations, you get angry - with them!
Your actions are the kind of stupid **** manufacturers have to deal with all the time when people do unsupported things to their product. And what happens when you screw up and they can't help you? You ***** and whine and hold Acer accountable.
You screwed it up, take responsibility for your actions.
jeez, rascal, calm down.
@op, I had a problem similar to this on a froyo tablet I used to have. I was able to get past the welcome screen by tapping on each corner. I believe you need to tap top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left.
Not sure if this will work on Honeycomb, though. It's worth a try at least.

I'm all for 3rdP development. Totally. Root all you want - I will, when it becomes beneficial to me.
It's the irresponsibility of some people who take those steps, voiding their warranty, then when things go wrong they lie and point fingers at the manufacturer.
That, alone, is just wrong.
Yea, it is, but do you need to be so rude to him about it?
Yes because patting them on the bum and sending them off to play, wishing them well, just perpetuates that problem.
How about you turn your brain on and see the details of both mine and support's messages. I was asking about a concrete problem with the startup screen when the Acer manager is trying to explain me how to find out the SN through the menu (which is obviously not working for me since Android doesn't load), not a single word about the problem itself.
Thank you, Netham. I managed to return it back to the retailer and got another tablet now.
rascal, as he said, he was just asking them a question. He wasn't asking them to replace it, he wasn't asking them to give him anything more than an appropriate answer to the question he asked. Instead they went the route of giving him a 'We can't help you until you open a ticket, you can't open a ticket until the problem you have is solved' answer.
Guy's I'm not interested in reading how you rationalize irresponsibility and lack of accountability.
anusthegreat, it's obvious you're are all to willing to criticize Acer for their handling of your self-induced problem - a problem you created and one you didn't own up to them about, essentially blaming them. "Failed somehow" not even providing them with a correct account of the event. Then, given their response, you call it a fail.
I've been pretty clear about my stance and I won't hesitate to say it again. Like it or not, I honestly don't give a **** guys.
Hi. I have got a smarwatch called Lemfo dt78 or DT No.1 DT78. I need the firmware or anything would help me to modify it to add languages or new skin fasces please. Thanks
Watch faces could be changed through wearfit app 2.0. is there any one who can modify the app and add watch faces.
DT78 Reverse Engineering
I was able to decode the BLE packets sent to and from the watch and connect it to an ESP32 board
I have the firmware but I don't know how to edit
Sorry, I'm a new user so i can't post links
github.com/fbiego/dt78
Are there any substitution sync applications instead of wearfit or wearfit2.0 for DT78 ?

Cool, thank you for your app...I like it.
I will try and give you feeb back. Hope it will available soon on play store, and it will defeat the wearfit and wearfit2.0 to be the best app for DT78/DT92.
However, it seems very difficult to auto establish the connection and reconnecting...after disconnected
EDIT:
So kool...Download DT78-App-Android v1.8
I like the simple look UI of your app, light weight but powerfull
However, it seems that the connection did not stable
Let's me use it for few days and feed back again.
V.1.8 connection unstable, please check...
Dear Fbiego, SAVE MY WATCH...please
Can you make a video to guide us how to update firmware of DT78 by OTA?
My watch's firmware version is v6.06. Which version of your watch?
I saw on youtube some watches have firmware version v8.02
Thanks!
EDIT:
Unluckily,
The version v8.05 is not compatible with my watch. Now, the screen is shifted upward and inversed screen. Anyone can help me, please?
I need v6.06 to back to the original. Huhuhu...

I don't know how the firmware can be reverted. I got the firmware v8.05 in a zip file which also included 2 more .bin files
C23_804_capacitive_hynitron_cst816s_update.bin
C23_test_20200402_1819.bin
Not sure if these are firmware files
Which version is showed on your watch before and after ? Did you OTA without any troubles? And where do you got the firmware?
Thanks
In product specifications description advertisements it is said that OTA is supported but now they refuse to support.
It is fully death after flash this file C23_test_20200402_1819.bin
No longer turn it on
I'm looking for the solution of JTag jump
I got the firmware from russian forum 4pda.ru, I have not updated my firmware using the files as it requires an iPhone.
I currently have v8.02 on the watch
Already bought another, ...
I recommend that DO NOT OTA update firmware for this watch since it has nothing changes except that the version number code: v6.05, v6.06, v6.09, v8.02, v8.04, v8.05 ....even v12.01
All the Chinese smart band's firmware is not interchangeable ... even in the same model code.
Dear Fbiego,
Can you add this function to next update of DT78-App ?. It auto re-connect BLE device if the connection is broken (Wearfit2.0 can do this-for example if we move the watch far from the phone- the connection break, however then if the watch moves back again close to the phone the connection will auto re-connect)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34425662/android-auto-reconnect-ble-devices
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44446587/automatic-connecting-to-a-ble-device-android
What this does is if our device is disconnected it will keep on trying to connect to it until a connection is established.
Code:
else if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED) {
intentAction = ACTION_DISCONNECTED;
DeviceActivity.runOnUI(() -> {
sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
String name_dev_1 = sharedPreferences.getString("Dev_1", null) ;
connectToDevice(name_dev_1);
disconnectGattServer();
});
}
}
Auto re-connect has been there, the reconnection is not immediate as it depends on the phone's scanning interval.
Please note that it may not work if Bluetooth is turned off intentionally or when the app stops due to error 133
Good to know that it's there. cheers

Great app, uses a lot less power compared to wearfit
Is there a way to send watchfaces to the watch?
And maybe add watchfaces?
Thanks

Watch faces are hardcode in the firmware, recently there aren't have the solution to add more watch-face to DT78 (except the three additional option can be changed thru the sync-app)
These three watch-faces also cann't be modified thru the sync-app. Default it is available in the firmware, but not showed-up on the watch; It is only activated by calling the active code thru the sync-app
I dumped data from the SPI flash chip and found watch faces but the format is unknown.
Using RGB8, I get discolored images. 0xFF (white) gives bluish color on the watch
