I have a Galaxy S8 plus (SMG955, Verizon) being used on PagePlus and if you check on updates it states that it is up to date, it is on "QD9". If you run Smart Switch on a Win 10 PC it says that there is a new update, "QG4", but if you tell it to update it just sits there. I realize that it has to download, but I let it sit an hour and it does nothing. I looked at the task manager, and Smart switch is in memory, but there is no cpu or disk use. I tried this on both a desktop, and a laptop and the results were the same. What am I missing?

What did u do?
Ok i too tried everything and it works randomly for me... not sure when it works.. things i do..
kill everything skype, gtalk, blah blah basically have nothing running..
and then download different versions of this chevron tool.. i found like three of them .. it could be the same file.. but jus download all of em..
then in the phone switch off wifi,
switch on airplan mode,
set date to october 1 2011(do this in pc too),
keep the time zones same in both pc and phone..
and now try to unlock from chevron in one folder, doesn't work remove the usb cable connect it again try using chevron from another folder..
do this repeatedly you will get it unlocked at one point of time for sure.... i am still trying to find out which is the correct fix....
Only after you unlock it , you will able to change the registry to mask your phone as HD7 and then only you will be able to download antyhing from market... b4 that you will only get "Cant get this info right now"
hope this helps, dont give up, you will get it done.... even after this i get "Service unavailable" in market... which is weird no one else get that.. i am trying to solve it...
Galaxy S7 edge AT&T tethering works
first of all I wanna say this took some messing around and striking out a lot. I am currently connected on my unlimited At&t USB tether.
here are my steps I took.
Att doesn't let you download PDANET from app store. At least I was unsuccessful. I download it pdanet thru my pc on a wifi network and then drag it over to my phone . Installed it. so now ATT as you know asks for permission every time you try to use regular hotspot or tether or blue tooth. So after searching and searching I came across some instructions.
Open dev mode in your phone...
go to ...
settings/system/about device and click bunch of times over and over on build number.
this will unlock your developer mode in your phone.
go back to settings/system/developer options
turn on following
OEM unlock ...... ON
USB debugging ...... ON
NExt download the following and install on your laptop....
pdanet.co/a ......type this into your browser cant post a link
download the windows version if you have windows. ofcourse
now install.
so your s7 edge is connected to the pc thru your usb port............
turn on pdanet on your phone.
turn on activate USB tether....
on your desktop click the pdanet icon and........
BEHOLD your laptop on ATT unlimited internet.
speedtest.net picture should be attached.
Now for the Hotspot.
Using your laptop.
Another software on your laptop. One I found is called "connectivity Hotspot"
There is a free version, I paid 5$ to use it for a year. They have lots of different options for what ever your needs may be. I really like this one because it tells me what devices are connect, and how much data they have used. I know with unlimited, you do have to be a little carefully, so you don't draw flags and loose unlimited. Basicly in my situation, I use it to play games on my xbox1 at a great speed. I use my sprint unlimited to download. Lol.
I hope I was able to help at least one other person out there, which may have been going thru the frustration I went thru. Enjoy and please share once you get it going.

Hello. I'm new to the group. Like so many others I was looking for a cost effective smartwatch that was not as expensive as Samsung or Apple. The Lemfo Lem5 Pro got very good reviews so I ordered. I use iPhone 7+. According to the company and the seller (Gearbest) this watch works with iPhone.
It arrived today and I find it not very functional at all. Not like in the few review videos I've seen. It won't show me the IOS option in the phone's bluetooth section under available devices although it shows up on my phone and says connected. WiFi also shows connected but I can't seem to do anything online. I can't even get the weather to show up. When I click on the plus side to add more watch faces it simply shows a spinning wheel and does not want to show me the supposed 50+ watch faces available for download. It shows me 4 faces.
I Have tried doing a hard reset of the phone and it still seems to not want to function.
Does anyone have any experience with the Lemfo Chinese smartwatches that can offer some help on why this device might not want to connect to anything? My wifi is very strong and shows connected. The watch shows that it is connected to the iPhone but the LEM5 IOS option does not appear anywhere in my settings so I am at a loss to understand why it isn't doing what it should. The instructions are sadly very minimal and a less than great translation from chinese.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might offer. The watch looks great just doesn't seem to want to do anything.
Just got the LEM5 Pro.
After watching a few videos, i've realised that this more of a Smart Phone in the shape of a watch. So the functionality even with an android phone is very limited.
It can connect to an android phone after u download software, but even then... you cant make calls unless you insert a sim into the "watch".
Filed under "money wasted".
Dear sir,which app I have to download for connecting my Lemfo Lem5pro.I am unable to do any thing with this Watch.Kindly advise me which app I have to download to activate with my phone.
Kindly advise me.
Thanking you.
Where did you got the LEM5 Pro? I am going to order one from coolicool, it is less than 120 bucks now.
same problem
i had the same issue at the beginning i thought it was due to the lemfo server being busy or webpage being hallt for few weeks.
it worked after few days. i have problem in connecting to different android app for watch. i cant even connect to lemfo band app. it only works on lemfo watch app which is pretty useless. if you find any solution to connect bluetooth directly to phone then please share with me. i want control my watch with my phone such as tracking health and other uses of the app. thanks
What about Android phones it has the same issue
Connection
The only way my Galaxy 8 plus will connect to my watch is if I use Bluetooth Tethering. Search for Bluetooth Tethering in the settings of your phone, turn it on, and select the watch from that screen, it'll connect.
The problem I'm having is it won't send texts.
I have a lemfo lem5 pro wich have the same issues,the software seems to have a bad optimization ,to make weather work i insterted a sim ,gps without sim for me is not working , the wireless is working but i don't see a browser ,the 50 faces are showing up but it's takes a lot to load them and sometimes stops loading after a few.
I know the Lem X is a GSM device compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile, but I saw that if on the CDMA platform / Verizon, you should still be able to get call
ALERTS and text ALERTS. I know you can't answer calls on the watch, nor can you respond to texts, but I can get call alerts, but I just cannot get text alerts. Any idea how to make it alert me to texts?
Hello XDA, I appreciate all you have done for me and my tech endeavors SO I found it necessary to post my results with the community.
Recently I was gifted a Note 8, told it was paid-off, not wanting to wait 3 days for Sprint to MAYBE unlock the bootloader, I set off to work around that by searching through these forums to find that the solution was not as simple as I'm used to.
Here's what I've done to gain access to WiFi again.
Note 8 had Oreo installed (and SIM card removed) I used Odin to flash VZW's Pie (using SamFirm to download, as SamMobile is painfully long). Everything finished installing, but before rebooting the final loading screen sorta stalled, then proceeded to boot. As you may know, it showed the Sprint logo (I panicked and held the down button to put device into safe mode, for control). Next, I decided to go through the Pie setup without allowing the device to access Wi-Fi or Data. Turn on airplane mode ASAP. After I got to the home screen, I stopped ALL automatic updates in settinga, opened developer options, running services, and cancelled everything that would let me, specifically: Chameleon, Sprint Hub, Sprint Voicemail, Sprint ID, RootPA, DRParser Mode, MTP Application, bootagent, Sprint OMADM, com.sec.phone (THIS ONE made the difference in ADB, I was actually able to communicate with my device, see the serial code and everything!, THIS is why I wanted to share with this genius community..and this next one, maybe?), com.samsung.android.smartswitchassistant, tethering automation, and security policy updates. Stop all of those processes, and force stop/disable/remove permissions from all of those (when switching device or WiFi on/off, monitor the running services for those & keep them shut off or they WILL help Sprint "seal the deal"). Make sure to disable/force stop "configuration update". After that I entered PhoneUtil by going to the dialer and pressing ##3424#, then switching the UART from PDA to CDMA MODEM.
Now, I turned on my WiFi (with airplane mode still on), and signed into my router, seen Sprint Hub trying to process a request, went to running services, shut it down & force stopped it, seems to stay off until the phone was restarted, at which point I shut it down.
Again, by doing all of this I was able to get ADB & Kingo Root (desktop) to fully recognize the device, I was able to access Wi-Fi & run "harmful" apps that could help use bruteforce our way past the bootloader lock. SO if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks again!
Good night people
Ok?
I just bought an S10 + on it at bestbuy and it arrives tomorrow. then I will read on this forum to see everything you said, but I would like to take advantage of it and post a question that I have for a long time but can not find anything about it on the net. Suddenly you know something about how to make it work. in the pc I have to install the KIES that works until the S4. From S5 forward only works with SMART SWITCH. I would like to know if there is some way to make s10 work in KIES or some similar program, because the smart switch only makes a backup, and kies no, I can access the folders inside the cel and see the thumbnails of the files, which help a lot and I really like this function when saving photos and videos on the pc. is there any program that is similar to kies for s10 or that has to cheat kies so that he can get the s10?
I'm waiting, thank you.
I downloaded kies3 which for some reason detects the phone but then tells me I have to be in some specific usb mode which dosent exist in the phone developer settings, then it fails to show the phone.

maybe this happens because it does not have an s10 driver for windows that works on kies

Samsung Kies is obsolete and deprecated.

No all that's installed Samsung sent me all the links to everything needed for kies3. But it still asks for USB mode MTC or something can't remember exactly now.
My pc recognizes my phone I can navigate and transfer files via Windows 10 file manager. Adb works fine, just kies3 has issue.
This is what I get, even with anti virus and firewalls disabled there's writing allowed.
So
as far as I know kies is no longer updated for many years and only works until S4 or S5, after that only the smart switch
That's why you have these problems.
what makes me annoyed is that it is not possible as there is no program similar to kies or that some programmer can not make kies work with other devices above s4. It should not be difficult for anyone who understands programming and a lot of people who know how to manipulate applications, who modify roms, etc.
