I have been in direct contact with Podoor in March 2015, right before I decided for the ImacWear M7, as I was eventually planning to buy the PW306II. The contact person informed me that they were working on a new 4.4 watch. I've noticed that the charger cradle for the PW308 has a lock and think...

I did not try that before and just tried it a second ago. The ZGPAX S8, when using play store to install pushbullet, already indicates "Your device isn't compatible with this version". So, for short, the ZGPAX S8 cannot run pushbullet either, unfortunately.

My journey of finding a watch phone started with the goals to: -abandon the smart phone as much as possible -use a tiny screen for the daily tasks (phone, txt, contact list, calendar) -use a tablet, at home, for games -use a PC for heavy duty stuff (writing text, follow on line training...

In that case, the ZGPAX S8 is probably not what you are primarily looking for. There are hybrid devices that will provide you what you require, potentially at a better price. There are people who use it as a companion smartwatch for a smartphone, but that's not what it has been designed for.

Gadget_boy, there are 3 kind of kind like watches: 1) smartwatch phones: Those that are stand alone (like this ZGPAX S8), -they are for people that primarily don't carry another smartphone with them, and are highly portable, wearable all in one devices 2) smartwatches: Those that are companion...

Sorry @@ron, both produce the same behaviour. I've done a factory reset of the phone to see if this helped. No progress either.

Hi, I tried to install it on a HTC Desire S with Android 2.3.5. Message I get is "There is a problem parsing the package" when trying to install

is the apk file still available?

Hi, Kids do all kinds of experiments with new toys. My son has an iMacWear M7. Some time ago, he got it into recovery after using it for less than an hour. I got it out of that state by removing the battery while off, putting the battery in again, hooking to power and booting again. As people...

With respect to play store: it works perfectly on the zgpax s8 (and also on the iMacWear M7). With respect to GPS position accuracy The GPS function is as accurate as the one on my HTC Desire S. It can get you your current location in less then a minute. A tip: -To avoid waiting for GPS...

I have the second version of the watch HW with the shipped version of the OS (3rd). This means I have a fully operational system, that does not have magnet compass capability. It operates flawlessly for over a month now. I would strongly advise to not flash it with one of the 2 OS's for the...

Hi lzwfkv, I've just had a test with: An A2DP device, the Jabra BT3030 (ancestor of the Jabra Steet2) A Bluetooth keyboard, that normally is a companion to the Acer Iconia W700 A Bluetooth mouse, the targus AMB02EU It is possible to use all 3 at the same time. To search for Bluetooth devices...

lzkwfkv, The thing is that these tools are not taking care of typing on the interface. Some only work with SMS, others have a broader range of application but require a wireless connection (which is more battery consuming than a bluetooth solution). In a world where virtually every hardware has...

You just saved me from buying an external bluetooth keyboard. Thanks.

Rectification: The phone history is present. When one opens the stock phone app, at the bottom there is a green call button. Left to it is a orange contacts icon. Swipe this icon from left to right to show a menu featuring the call log. ---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post...

Ronfurro, I just introduced my son to the world of mobile phones (as in: He never had a smartphone or mobile phone before). He's happy to use a smart watch phone (it's the imacwear M7, also discussed in another topic in this forum), while I use the S8 for day to day use for just a month now. The...

he lzwfkv, I'm happy to find someone with experience on the M7. I've tried shake on/off on my zgpax s8 and that worked very nicely. (There is another user called smartwatchticks that has created a video from it). So I tried the same on the M7. It shakes off well, but doesn't shake on. Is the...

Ended up buying 2 watches Hi, I ended up buying 2 watches, the imacwear M7 and the zgpax s8. the ZGPAX S8 has 3 capacitive buttons -menu -home/recent apps -back This post explains how I use the ImacWear M7 in almost exactly the same way: -Standard feature: swipe over left border to right for...

I also seem to remember to have read it is not possible. I own a Jabra BT3030. Its successor is the street2. It is a small bleutooth headset with a microphone fitted in a main housing (a military tag like shape) that hangs from the neck and features large buttons. It features a regular 3.5mm...

Hi HaploVoss, I have the advantage of living in Europe, so I have all that AND 3G. When you type on the keyboard, do you take of the watch then? And put it on the desk or so. How do you go about? As I have an old phone that I'm replacing with the zgpax s8, you gave me the idea to use the phone...

To type SMS I was looking for an app that allowed to link S8 and a tablet to use the tablet as input/read device, solving the big finger problem at least for the second most important thing I use a phone for: SMSes. There are a lot of solutions using a kind of a cloud service, requiring wifi...

Interesting. Thanks for that information. Price seems high. A nice spec Android smart watch phone: less than $200 A nice Android tablet : less than $200 If one has both already, what does it take to use te tablet as a second screen and keyboard? If tablet connects through the Phone hotspot, All...

A good concept I recently became the proud owner of a stand alone smart watch. The main disadvantage of super small stand alone smartphone watches (with only 1.5 inch screen) is that typing sms-es or search criteria becomes a true challenge. The usage of a companion screen that allows for a...

1. seems to do the trick at first sight 2. tried it. On its own a brilliant thing. Buttons remain small on the S8, so typing stays difficult. If we would be able to use a bigger screen to type and take control of the watch then we could type and look at bigger things only when there is a true...

Dealing with the small size I've finally got to putting a 3G card in the ZGPAX and like the quality of the conversation, reception, on mobile phone. Speed on 3G and wireless hotspot are awesome. What I miss is 3 things: 1) The phone history - It's simply absent. How can we browse through...

I have my 2nd gen for a few weeks now. Over the week-end I ignored it completely, while it was charging (for about 3 days it was connected to a charging device) 15/04/2015 After 1 day and 14 hours it is at 94% (only 6% used) Consuption is 45% cell stand by, 35% idle phone, 7% screen, 5% android...

From a video showing how to upgrade the memory it is clear that the outer buttons are not hinged/beared by anything, and just wiggle in their opening between the PCB and the casing. I can confirm that my buttons "wiggle about" as well. This becomes very obvious if one tries to shake the watch on...

I've used mobizen, allowing full keyboard input to start installing things. -Works quite well. -Requires internet connectivity to do a device to device action. With inspiration from this video, I installed "Shake Screen on/of Free" -With no sim inserted and wifi completely off, the watch would...

Hi I did not manage to get a connection to make a backup before starting to use my phone/watch. (Probably because I did not de-solder the battery, a thing I did not want to do). The phone connects to the PC with the preloader but immediately disconnects. Assuming there is a safe copy of the...

New Arrival: How to make a maiden backup? Hi, I ordered this one on the night of the 11th to the 12th of March and it was presented to my home yesterday. I wasn't home and had to wait for this evening to collect it at the post office. I bought it from the same location that Andyt_HW left a...

I'm using information acquired (and the summary of janek69 just above also helped just a tiny bit ;)), putting some logic to practice. (Anybody: If I'm wrong feel free to correct me) 1) The old firmware can be put on the new phone, then the camera will not work. The new phone doesn't have...

Maybe read from about page 45 and then a few pages onward. I'm preparing for reception of my device (was ordered yesterday). I'll report my experience over here.

I didn't order the phone (... yet?), so the ideas have not been proven to function. Few pages back I asked for possibilities with the phone watch, mainly in respect to connectivity. Following that post I understood that by the looks of things it is possible to connect the phone watch to a...

Q&A summary update Hi, Just an update based on information I collected so far: Probably solved: Multiple bluetooth usage is possible 3G is available at 2100 in Benelux. I have this from an informational site. Using external CIRF bluetooth receiver should be a viable backup Further request to...

hesitating between this imacwear m7 and zgpax s8 Hi, I'm hesitating to go either for this phone or the zgpax s8. Anybody able to do a comparison? Main reason why I would take this phone is that this phone is shipped with a 600 mAh battery while the zgpax only has 450 mAh. The battery on this...

Learning questions Hi, Seriously considering to buy this phone. I've noticed it's possible to connect this phone to a bluetooth mouse. Also possible to connect a keyboard? People use mobizen. I was wondering if screen mirroring can be done with this phone to a TV (miracast). Possible...
