I have just got a k88h smart watch and I have an android phone. I would like to be able to send custom messages, use whatsapp and customise the user interface but from what i am reading it seems not possible. I have found lots of apps on play store such as android wear and Messages for android wear but they don't seem to work with it unless I'm doing something wrong? I don't understand the great reviews this is getting if this is not possible... Can anyone help me?
Thx

I had an idea while browsing the wear forums on my PC with my phone in my pocket. I got a text message and it popped up on my computer using Pushbullet like normal. However I thought about how I have always wished there was a way to reply to text messages and other types of notifications on my laptop. The actionable notifications added in JellyBean kind of added this but there is still no way to reply to a message from your computer using your keyboard. The big thing stopping this from being a reality is that all app developers would have to support some kind of standard that would tell the phone what to do with the rely you are sending it from your computer.
Now with Android Wear, developers can add these kinds of reply actions to their apps so that they can be controlled by voice on the Android Wear device. My question for those of you more familiar with the Wear API is could an app on the PC interface with your phone over Bluetooth and basically pretend to be an Android Wear device but with its keyboard as input instead of using your voice on the Wear device? This would make it much quicker to reply to messages and maybe even some of the other Wear functionality could be implemented.
So what do you think? Could it be possible or is it more work than it is worth? Or is it not possible to tell from the current state of the Wear API? If it is possible to do and no one else decides they want to work on it I might even try, the novice programmer I am, to play around with it and see if I can get something to work.

i think AndroidWear supposed not use hardware things!
Like what happened on Google Glass and smart-watches.
and About AndroidWear, it s preview and so limited. thr s nothing to install app on AndroidWear Devices
it s just for notifications But it s possible to add action to use keyboard on android device & maybe other device like pc
if i remember correctly u can use AirdDroid to push notification to PC interface through browser and then reply.
:good:
So, I'm looking for a new Smart Watch, and decided to also check the apps. I didn't end up finding any real data on what works with whatand where to get them, so here we are. I started with just some notes, but I decided that maybe some other people could help and use it as well.
So if you happen to have a cheap chinese smartwatch, could you pop in to this list and add what watch you use with what app.
If you've tried a watch with some app and know it doesn't work, that would be swell too.
The idea here is to list compatibility for most, if not all, non-android wear smart watches and the apps floating around.
Hopefully, it will end up being useful so you can test the app before you buy your watch, or if you get fed up with the app it came with, see if there are alternatives.

Hi all!
I'm been searching on google for quite a while, but can't find any information in regards to the number of active android wear users. I'd also like to know advanced information such as how much is spent on android wear apps etc as I'm thinking of developing a game for the platform. It would also be handy to have the same statistics for the apple watch if possible. Does anyone have any idea where I can find the data I'm looking for?
Cheers!
I'd also be curious to see this data. Doesn't help that the likes of Apple won't release their sales figures, and the top charts for Android Wear apps include both apps for the watch and apps that are really meant for the phone and do very little for the watch beyond push notifications.
Hello all,
I wanted a information.
I recently bought the following Smartwatch: K88H. The smartwatch works pretty well with IOS and I don't think it can be seen that the restrictions of IOS.
It is possible to update the firmware inside ?
Thanks to all
Vincenzo
Same boat
+1 - I have been reading what I can find on the internet about hacking/updating K88H but unfortunately there isn't a satisfactory amount of resources regarding this smart watch.
It's a great gadget though - if in doubt, just buy it, a great value for the price!
Back to the topic of this thread - There is value in looking for resources that talk about hacking/updating nuclear os as it's operating system that the watch is using.

How can I install watch faces using my iphone? What app on iphone that can install watch faces and apps on k88h? Mediatek Smartdevice by Liang Lv from App Store can't install watch faces unlike Mediatek Smartdevice by Mediatek Inc from google play.

I also have the K88H. I did not like some of the screens on the Notifications. It has a huge "BLOCK" button that if you touch it the screen pops up asking if you want to block these kinds of messages. I blocked all the apps I wanted in the Mediatek SmartDevice app on my Android Phone. So why would I want that second button in the way?
Long story short I used Golem_'s tutorial and found a better firmware. Follow his instructions to the letter. Make sure you back up your existing firmware before continuing. Our watch is the MTK2502A 128MB. My favorite firmware so far is the X-Watch firmware. Golem_ also has a collection of firmware for you to begin with. Engjoy...
HI there,
I just bought a GT08 smartwatch (what I think it is a clone).
It has a MT6261.
I currently use Mediatek SmartDevice with it, but I have seen I can't get anything else than notification title in remote notifier.
I use a S4 mini with AOKP Android 7.1.
I don't know if it is a problem with the watch firmware not supporting Android 7 or the app from mediatek not supporting Android 7.
By the way, I tested on my other phone, S3 mini, with Android Lollipop, and I can get all notifications which their content, with the same app.
This feature is critical for me because I wanted the watch for reading WhatsApp notifications without taking the phone.
So, is there an app or firmware for the watch that could make notifications to work properly?
I attach a picture of watch version firmware.
Thanks in advance.
in this forum that the Smarty application, really good for what you are looking for
