Thanks Retty.
Just realised that there is too much pressure on the battery contact. When you ease up the 2 screws the watch goes on. So what I've done is apply pressure on the cover from the inside. Bending a bit the cover and the srew holes once you put it back there is less pressure on the contact and the watch is now on.
Thanks again and hopefully this



I have the same problem. It seems to me that stress caused by the battery swelled. Does anyone have instructions to disassemble.
thanks

Bigger 30x30mm is not posible, onlyan thickness can be bigger up to max 7mm (better max 6mm).
The battery is in a 'cage' that not allow get bigger size...
My orginal battery not overall the same thickness. Looks like blows up.

Thanks again and hopefully this way you can fix yours too.

Thank you both! Had given up on my dead, faulty upon arrival, K8 until I saw your fixes. Even ordered a Samsung Gear S yesterday which I still want greatly over this thing because you can install full android on the Gear S now. Nice to see my $140 paper weight I just brought a few months ago is "working" again thanks to retty001 and DomenicoV! Quotes around working because, like discussed, the battery on the thing is crap. The battery percentage is completely off now and it doesn't hold a charge any longer after using a rapid charger cable. Guess we're suppose to know that, smh. Paid only $150 for the Gear S that has a much higher build quality and a huge beautiful curved large screen. Can't wait!

The problem with my K8 mini 3g

Hey guys, I need your help!
I happened to turn on this feature, which is in the developer options (I think it's called "emulation of additional screens" or "overlay №1: 1920x1080").
And now I can't turn it off. How do I do this?

my NEW ARRIVAL K18 working only 8 days!

Hi,
I buy this watch in February, but working only 8 days! I try to use some apk from another store couse google strorage didnt recognize my device. And after some restart my watch software system cant start.

WHAT CAN I DO? HOW TO FIX IT? There is a lot link to software and flash tools but Im not sure which one is working good. I havent any backup...

On boot screen we see only EARTH Photo and system stoped and you cant also turn off device.

Good morning how are you
First I forgive my English because I am using google translator.

My watch has died, when charge is heated and it scares me, if he can start the battery lasts an hour, sometimes not on. I think someone else has happened this, do you know how to solve it? thank you very much

the clock only starts if it is in the charging base, then if you boot. But when empIoys to turn up the heat on and off, and it is impossible to start it, I tried to dismantle but did not reach the battery so I do not know if this swollen or not. Has anyone bought a new one? You know what might be happening and how to fix it ?, Thanks

How about using UI Tuner to scale the screen to an actual square screen? Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bassel.uituner

Somebody tried this Ui tuner app?

Happy new year,
i recieved the watch and rooted within an hour. The best way to root is to flash the recovery (TWRP) posted in this thread through SPflash and then install supersu and busybox.
I installed xposed, tasker, secure settings and xposed additions and i have automated the buttons:
Menu button :
1 click = menu
2 click = toggle one hand mode (this is extremely useful)
long press = recent apps
3 click = go run (gps,bt,mobile data on)
Back button :
1 click = back
2 click = previous app
long press = kill app
3 click = settings

Next step, i am downloading the settings apk from omate ts to replace the one on the watch because it is missing a lot of functionality.
After that i will try to change the dpi per element of the launcher because the notification panel and the app drawer is too big but if you change dpi for the launcher it affects the clock face. Does anyone have any tips of how to change these without too much hassle?

Hello.
I cant assign Toggle one hand Mode with xposed additions!... Just assign to one hand Mode app!
So, I cant use a button to change round/square screen!
Any help please?

Take off the rear case and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. Then reconnect and try again.

I have also had this problem with watch randomly turning off and overheating; thanks for pointing to the fact that it was a battery problem.
The original battery was indeed swollen, pushing main PCB from behind, causing shutdowns with lid on.
To access the battery one has to desolder all antenna cables (GSM, BT/WiFi, GPS), speaker, disconnect 2 cables, then main PCB can be leaned on the side hanging on remaining 3rd flex cable which is soldered.
I've measured the dimensions of the original battery and ordered 550mah battery with standard 503030 size on ebay, then took battery controller PCB with connector from the old one and resoldered it to the new one.
Reassembled the watch, works perfectly. Apparently, the original battery was reeeeally bad.

Hope this helps someone, can post few photos if needed.

Photoncounter, if you can post some photos will be good... I need do same thing. Best Regards

Can you share some photos please?
Thanks a lot

Can you share some photos please?
Thanks a lot

Okay, here!

Mainboard photo:
1,2,3 - simply disconnect (3 is actually battery)
4,5,6,7 - desolder 3 antennas and speaker
8, 9 - I left them connected (8 is a bit trickier to desolder, 9 will lift together with microphone)
then unscrew 2 small screws, they're also on the photo
then you turn the board over to the left - here is your battery!

Two batteries photo:
left is the original one, dead; yellow insulation removed and board unbent from the battery.
In red are the two contacts that you can simply carefully cut.
Right is new battery as is. Remove yellow tape, carefully desolder the board (DO NOT overheat the battery!).

Single battery photo:
board from old battery soldered to new battery.
Add yellow tape, fold all back, put inside, reassemble, done.

That's a standard flex cable connector, unlock the black lock by pulling it up then pull out the cable.

thanks

I personally bought this, seller tesky12:

However, any 503030 should work.
