Need some help.
I like to copy my own watchfaces to the clockskin folder of the lem16. When connecting the watch to my windows PC I can see the lem16 folder. With doppel click I can see the clockskin folder, but it is not possible to copy my watch skins to this folder. With my old Genesis I had to enable USB connection under system/connections, but with the lemfo16 I did not find something similar. How can I enable the USB connection?

What I have found and done : in the developer options under default usb configuration enable file transfer, but it doesnā€™t help.

So you cannot drag and drop into clockskin folder ?

313

Well Iā€™m confused. Usually, choosing data transfer is the only trick needed. Have you tried different USB ports?

No I havenā€™t. It seems to be that I have no right to write into this directory. OK, I check another portā€¦

The same problemā€¦
It is not possible to drag and drop or
Create a new directory (right mouse tap) f. e.
Seems to me that I have no write permissionsā€¦

Hm, with my Genesis everything was or is ok, this is not a problen of windows driver imo. I can see the folders as you, but when making a drag and drop it takes some time, than it comes back and had done nothing. No filetransfer ( growing display) was seen.
Should I install this mtk drivers?

317

Shouldnt do any harm and worth a go

I am traveling, no PC available, and actually I use Dropbox to exchange files, never the PC. Considering Dropbox doesnā€™t work yet, I used Signal and WhatsApp to send myself files.

Hello guys, i ordered the LOKMAT Applp 4 pro two days agoā€¦ Does anyone have it already? Any experience with the LOKMAT brand?

320

seems to be not so easy :after download the latest zip file there are 4 folders:
Driver_AutoInstaller _1524
Driver_AutoInstaller _1612
Driver_AutoInstaller _1632
MTK:Drver_ext

When using the last folder with driverinstaller.exe : the protocoll says nothing is installed ???

What is the right way to install it ?

321

this seems to be another way of sending files to the smartwatch. How did you do it with whatsapp ?

322

I have one WhatsApp account on my phone, and another one for the Watch. Then I simply send from one user to the other. You can send photos, apps, watchface, you name it, but I guess you know that. In case of apps, remember to allow WhatsApp to install apps.

My LEM16 arrived today. So far so good. Iā€™m pleasantly surprised that app compatibility is the best Iā€™ve seen in a stock fw. The one bug Iā€™ve noticed is it doesnā€™t handle the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE intent which Iā€™m sure you already know about.

Thanks @Bozley
@Teebow has found a few issues as well as the ones that have been reported before.

I wonder any of you might have time to test download through the built in Web browsersā€¦?
Chrome and the Android Web browser seem to be failing, according to some feedback.
Third party browsers have been reported as working, but I find that difficult to understand - given the problem with third party apps writing to storage :thinking:

Also another strange report about watching videos using the built-in video player.
Feedback is that a video can be watched once but if you watch the same video again it will fail until the watch is rebooted.
However, using a third party app like VLC for example, does not seem to have the same problem.
Again, this is strange because I am expecting the opposite to be true. :thinking:

Iā€™m sure that you all understand the reason why I am trying to verify as many bugs as possible right now.
There is nothing more frustrating for the solution provider (firmware solution) than fixing a bug and then another one is discovered almost immediately.

Of course, this is to be expected during this early stage of using a particularly secure OS for the first time.
But, I am trying to gather as much information for CONFIRMED bugs so that they can get an OTA out as soon as possible.

I think it is going to be a challenge getting Around 11 to work as they are expecting.
It was always going to be harder for them because of the difficulty in connecting to the same services as most people. In China it is not easy to test due to the great firewall.
On top of this usual problem - the challenges presented by the last 2 years of lock downs and illness has made it much harder than usual.

I really appreciate everyoneā€™s patience while we try to help get these problems fixed.
I am confident that the hardware solution is very good and the issues with the OS will be addressed.
Cheers

I had the same problem, not possible to transfer files with drag and drop on the folder. The copy starts but stays at 0%. Probably due to the same writing restrictions.
I had success using my development tools to transfer files, but I hope the OTA will solve this.

You are using MTK drivers for this watchā€¦?
This is a Unisoc watchā€¦
Maybe try these unisoc drivers.
Run as administrator on x64 win 10 or 11

I donā€™t have this issue.
I copied my faces in without issue.
What version of firmware do you have @mgk and @Eric_Crochemore?
Mind you, one is lemfo and one is Lokmatā€¦
So itā€™s happening to both of you and I will have the same version as @mgk.
