I have read all the previous posts on trying to find this to install it. I posted the question by mistake on accessories. Anyway, this is one answer to finding it someone posted.
"Try to install manually from: Asus Sync: confused:??? where is Asus Sync???) dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/Utility/setup_1.0.40.exe MyDesktop_SplashTop: "
Now could someone explain that to me in plain
English. If this is supposed to be a web site, there is no such animal. It looks like a program to me as it is executable, but pray tell, if so, where might one find this program. (a link would be sooooo helpful)
Could someone who is much more computer and Android literate please break it down for me. Is this software (PC Suite & Sync) supposed to go on your Windows PC as well as your Asus Transformer? Is there an actual website? I have been all over Asus web sites and can not find it. I would be most happy to install it, IF I COULD JUST FIND IT.
Please someone give me step by step instructions on this, as I am about to throw this Asus Transformer out the window, and I don't want to do that. I know it is my ignorance (or at least I think so)
I see many have posted this same question, so some good soul who knows his/her stuff, please help the rest of us out.
SplashTop App
Asus Web Storage App
Asus Sync
These are the three apps that the downloader is suppose to install. I had the same issue as you but I found another post on here that listed where to find them on Asus' site, so just saved them in Dropbox so I won't have to worry about it. Hope this helps.
It confused the hell out me too. I run linux, which pc sync doesn't support.
I wanted to see if it was actually anything I needed so I installed all the drivers and downloaded the PC Suite (which was only a few KBs when I downloaded it for some reason) and it wouldn't install, so I downloaded just the sync app and installed it. Even though all the drivers were installed correctly it still wouldn't connect, I eventually find out it was because I had ADB debugging enabled on the TF, once I disabled it, it connected fine.
Once I opened it, it was just as I expected: pretty worthless. It allows you to sync your contacts and calendar from the device to the computer (which is kind of dumb considering all that is synced to google's servers, so there's no real need to sync from TF to PC IMO) and to install apks that are on your pc to your TF.
What I was really looking for was a way to put my music and pictures on there, but couldn't find a way. I found out that you have to use a music player such as winamp to copy your music over, you can't simply drag and drop.

You could setup a ftp server on your asus TF and upload it via ftp client on windows/linux/mac.
I'll probably end up doing that. My friend introduced me to File Expert (which you should totally check out if you havent already) which has built in web and ftp servers. Best of all its free!
Could always use Wifi File Explorer as well
Market Link for it
Thank you for your responces. I got them loaded now. Only problem is I can't
Transfer contacts. In Asus sync cause it won't recognize transformer device. It is there when I go into COMPTER along with my other drives. However whenever I open Asus Sync, it is darkened and you can't highlights or checking anything.
You need this: Samba Filesharing by funkyFresh
I called mine "android" and I have read/write access from my pc to my trans at \\android\sdcard
To save space just use Audiogalaxy for music. It doesn't get much simpler and you can stream your music from anywhere.
Hi i just got my DM98 smartwatch and had a few questions for anybody that has the answers.
1.) I got the watch synced to my phone and i wanted to be able to send and receive text messages, make and receive phone calls, and use the internet.
Question: is there an app or trick to make this possible or am i just S.O.L. ?
2.) I have read that it is possible to create your own clock faces.
Question: Is there a guide that details how to do this?
3.) Question; if i want to do anything do i need to root?
These are all the questions i have at the moment. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

The trick is simple - go to the play market and look for notification software with a set of features you want.

The guide is simple - you should write your program. It's the most flexible way. Second option - you can go to the market and look for face designer or similar application. It' limited, of course, but you can try it. Third option - get watch face that you like and go into it's folder. There you'll find some pictures and may be fonts. Now you can delete the pictures and replace them with your own (with same name, of course), then restart your watch face application and you'll see your pictures instead of removed. It's most limited customization, but it's simplest.
Here is one watch face application.

let me clarify a little bit.... i want to do this all through bluetooth. i have tried a bunch of apps and none see my DM98 Smartwatch as a bluetooth headset or anything of the like so i am a little confused with the explanation.

It shouldn't be a headset. It should be something like phone or smartphone with the ability to transfer any data. To connect to DM98 first turn bluetooth on on both devices (DM98 and your phone), next make one of the devices available to connection requests, then the device will advertise itself and second device should see it. When it's seen just touch it and select "pair". Only after this you can start your notification software and use it's communication features.
In short - you should pair devices BEFORE any third party application can do something for you. The pairing is performed using Android's bluetooth settings, no third parties should be involved.

You are talking about communication software. Chinese smart watches usually have just a subset of such functionality. It means you won't get everything pushed. But you can try to look for such software at the market. Search for key words like "notification" "smart watch" and so on.

well if that if the case i have tried many different apps and nothing works so i guess i am s.o.l. and need to return the watch so i can find one that does what i want. i really like this watch though because it is running full android 4.4 with full access to any app in the play store.

Dm 98 stuck in layout mode
I was an idiot was messing with developer options and got it stuck in layout out mode can't close the down to get to main screen the edges are past the pinch to make smaller. With one button can't do hard reset it's not rooted so it doesn't show up when I plug it into computer is there any way to fix this or am I stuck with basically a brick. I really love this device. Can you guys help.
my watch not opening. when i press power button there is nothing happen. what can i do? is there anyway to reset with a button on this watch?
Hi, I have a question, how we do for have the sms on the watch via bluetooth?
Reset
Have you ever tried resetting the smartwatch there's like a small pin hole in the very back of it take something to stick in it the watch will shut off and you just restart the watch back up and that should have fixed the issue
No 1, you can try these aps to enhance your dm98
1. Watch android phone
2. Android control panel
3. Heads up notifications
4. Rotation control
[SOLVED] Still getting used to the tiny keyboard, I had a typo.
I just got the Dev C14 (Bluetooth reports it's actually the DM98) and when I try to log into the Playstore with my existing account, I get past the email and password, but then it says to "Type in the text you see here" with a prompt but I don't see the text. Can anyone help please?
Cannot connect DM98 to Galaxy S8 Active
Hello fellow smartwatch owners. I have the DM98 like the size memory WiFI but cannot get it to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. The phone shows the watch and vis a versa, they both are paired, but when they connect the connection is lost right away. Please help if you can

For downloading software use wifi. Start with Google play, etc. Best for installing software is to do it from your computer: just log in to Google Play windows.

Personally I use the much more stable Droid Phone and Droid Watch, on Google Play.
Finding little information on this, i'd like to be able to use tasker to trigger things such as notifications or audio on the watch or send events to my phone, and preferable some mor eadvanced things so i can use the watch with my home automation, has anyone played around with this? i saw someone mention side loading apps somewhere but i lost the post, as i understand it LiteOS is a version of android so being able to load Tasker directly onto the watch would be nice.
Hi,
not sure if this would be possible at all.
But I notice that I can connect my smart watch to PC via bluetooth, and was wondering if there was a way to do stuff like tapping the watch screen, and something would happen on the PC.
Eg. play music, open a browser, put the computer to sleep....etc. etc.
it would just be handy if there was a very common task, that you could simply tap your watch screen.
I got a cheap smart watch here, and maybe it's not possible with this watch, and I may need a more expensive watch.
But I am using windows 10, and I presume some sort of script would need to be written in windows to achieve this.
I know it;s a strange one, but if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be interested in looking into it further.
So I am need of help in order to get some custom/ Third Party watch faces for this spare watch of mine.
Smartwatch: Noisefit Halo
First of all I'm unable to determine the OS used in this smartwatch. I wanted to download some third party watch faces for my watch however unable to do so bcz of the unknown OS, also this Watch doesn't seems to have the ability to install any sort of "apps" as well. Otherwise would have used Facer etc. Like in my galaxy watch 4.
Any help is appreciated.
I tried to find specs but had fail. 466x466 display only. very looks like usual chinese watch but without waterproof.
by price and resolution I'll suppose what it's a rtl8763 series chip. so more likely what it have a some sort of modification of rtos. it means what it more likely have a custom watch face format. share few original watch faces of this watch and m.b. I can tell you a bit more.
Thank you for the quick reply.
Yes, this is a IP68, AMOLED watch.
By original do I share the faces from Watch or the companion app that it works with ?
I have attached the screenshot of the watch faces. I really do not know if there is another way of sharing it as a file.
Once again, thanks a lot helping.

not sure what you able to extract watch faces from the watch. I need exactly watch face file from the companion app. mostly it's a "*.bin" files, usually in app folder.
My apologies. It seems the device needs to be rooted in order to see the files
I'll share the link of the app itself for your reference. Hope that helps somehow

no, root is not required. and no, I can't use this app because I have no appropriate watch to connect. and without watch connecting I can't download any watch face.
I'd install it and seems files must store at "android\data\myapps\com.noisefit\files\" perhaps it'll be have a folder "downloads" inside. watch faces files will apper in this folder only after installing/downloading via app.
Hi, so after fiddling around for a while a found the folders but they are of no use.
Two of them contain logs. One for watch and the other for my current phone.
Others are just empty. Enabled the hidden files as well.
Then there's this zip files which cannot be shared no matter what and it cannot be opened as well.
I've attached the ss so you may see and guide me further.
did you already install any wf via app? if no, install anyone and check ".\com.noisefit\files\" folder.
also share that "watchface.zip" file. not sure what it's useful, but file name at least promising.

just zip it once more. or copy to regular "download" folder before.
Yes. Earlier there were no such folders but when i installed the watch face and immediately wen to the com.noisefit folder the zip file and other folders appeared somehow.
As for the zip file I tried it all but it's not opening and gives me an error. No matter what app I use.
I'll try to copy to it to a different location and then attach it to see if that allows me to atleast share the file.
Thanks for the quick response mate.
sorry, did not found in "zip" any useful info. and yes, it's not a zip, and data inside this file not looks like a graphics.
what about files in ".\com.noisefit\files\" folder?
Everything else is empty sir, there's literally nothing and I've used several different file managers. Explored using every possible method
then sorry. in this case I know only the last way, but seems it'll be over hard for you:
- sniff the app to intercept watch face files (not so hard)
- analyze the app how it upload watch face file to the watch and write your own upploader (a way harder, even if you'll decide just to modify blestarter)
you may also try to find some sort of another compatible app (orunning, chronos, perhaps some gadget bridge based app...), but chances is too low.
Alright. It seems there are no locally downloaded wf available. They are all cloud based and do not download to the Device before getting synced with the watch itself. Log file said the same.
Thanks for all your help. I'll keep on fiddling around until I find it. M.b then i can share those files with you
you are welcome and good luck in your investigations.
n.b. if you just want to intercept app requests, use a some ssl capture app. you'll catch something like this: http://ft-cn.hetangsmart.com/public...032305191400427040BBCF&lcd=24&toolVersion=1.5 but for your app with watch faces list for your watch.
