I recently bought a pebble frost and I have come across a lot of issues with it such as the rise to wake feature not working so i have decided to flash code to the watch.
Does anyone know how to flash the watch through Bluetooth and how to make a copy of the existing code on the watch as a backup

Hey, I just bought a nice S18 smartwatch. The guts are the same as the LEMFO and ZGPAX models so I guess at least someone has tried this device. I quite like it - The display is nice and sharp and it's comfy to wear. However, I just CANNOT get this thing to connect to my LG G3. It pairs straight away but that's as far as I get. The box gives a username and password to a website that does supply apk downloads for all their products - except the s18. There is a download for a U8 device, which I gave a go but to no success.
Can anyone help? This fairly decent smartwatch is looking very likely to end up in a drawer next to my old nokias, digi cameras and earphone nests.
Just ordered this watch. I have an LG og pro. 7-10 days and I'll post how I make out.
I believe the Flylink S18 (ZGPAX S18) is a standalone phone. I don't believe it supports smartwatch (called Smart Bluetooth Sync by ZGPAX) functionality in terms of pairing with a phone to get notifications. The ZGPAX S12, S15, S28, MQ588, and S19 support Smart Bluetooth Sync.
That's the case. No sync. But calls are clear. Text are a pain but work. Guess next ill put some music on it.

I'd like to buy a smartwatch, however all that meet my requirements (AMOLED, waterproof) are stand-alone versions, with SIM card slot. I've notice that most of these watches do not support full phone synchronization. I'd like my watch to have functionality like: phone camera trigger, answering phone calls, answering SMS or WhatsApp messages...
If some of you can advice me how can I achieve that by external software, or what kind of smartwatch should I buy to meet those requirements, it would be great.
None of them will be able to make or receive calls properly through Bluetooth if that is what you are asking.
There is a reason for this. Google owns the api that allows this kind of interaction with Android. They will never allow it to be used on these watches. To google, these watches go against everything they are working on with Android Wear. They also protest that it is a security issue.
So, long story short - if you want full Bluetooth interactive mode you will need a Wear watch.
Not one of these Bluetooth pairing watches you find on Aliexpress. They also are not allowed to use these api's and cannot make or receive calls over Bluetooth.
If you find one that really works (a lot of them claim to but don't) I'd be interested ?
You might look at the Ticwatch 2. Nice looking watch and is licensed by Google - kind of......

Have you looked at the Imacwear M7? It might be what you're looking for.

Thanks @pablo11, however I can't say that I'm happy with what I've just read So it is not possible to implement this functionality in ROM or with the App?
Samsung watches overspend my budget
I completely don't get it! A 10$ smartwatch (like DZ-09) can answer phone calls and push notification two-way, and 100$ can't?
I bought this watch thinking it was compatible with android wear, it turns out it is a phone in the shape of a watch. (I didn't know this was a thing).
So what can I do with it, I wanted to answer my calls on it (whatsapp calls too), change tracks/pause my music, but no luck Anyway I can flash this or something? Bear in mind I am completely new at this. Best I can do is put in a usb and stransfer files.
edit: I am using watch droid phone app
Also I've gone a walk and all it does is disconnect. Reconnect. Disconnect. Reconnect
Hi,
I'm thinking of entering the smart watch world. I have researched a few but can't find one that caters for what I want but am sure it's out there.
The Zeblaze Thor 4 nearly was the one till I saw it doesn't track GPS when running (I'd like to ditch the phone when running etc).
So I'm looking for something that can be a phone outright not needing to be connected to smart phone. Tracks its own gps. Optional NFC. They are main things , cheers for any suggestions. :good:
What made you think you can't use GPS while running? Isn't it just a question of adding a screen-compatible tracking app, as I did on my older Zeblaze Blitz?
Hey guys,
Brand new to this forum, one of my buddies has been on here for years and recommended me to join in for quite some time now.
I did a bunch of searching for this answer online but havent come across anything helpful yet so I apologize if this has been covered already but I actually even reached out to Samsung and they were unable to give me a straight answer as well lol!
So I just got the S10 along with the Galaxy watch(42mm) and the Galaxy buds, now I can pair both wearable to my s10 but it seems as though you can actually only have one wearable fully functioning at a time. Example: if I pair my watch to my wearable app it will NOT allow both my Buds and my watch to work simultaneously together which is a bit of a hassle considering they will both FUNCTION together BUT if I'm using my watch I have no access to the buds features like the ambient sound or even the equalizer and so forth. I have attempted to pair my buds to my watch as I have seen some people doing this but my watch continues to play media and calls through itself even when I have gone into the BT settings on my watch and selected the buds to process phone calls and media.
I wouldnt consider myself a total noob with technology at all but I'm looking to be able to use both wearables at the same time as being able to adjust settings for them. Has anyone else had this issue? The rep on the phone for samsung mentioned something about having the wearables app on the watch itself but I dont see it anywhere In the store as far as being able to download it strictly for the watch. Any help or input on this would be greatly appreciated and forgive me if I am posting in the wrong thread as i said this is my first post and I havent had much time to explore other than searching for a fix to this issue.
You will get more help in the correct forum for the Samsung Galaxy Watch, not in the Wear OS forum.
