LEMFO LEM7 - Discussion thread

We are getting reports of bad gps performance with the LEM7. But not with the Thor 4.
As both are the same it is pointing to the strap antenna for the LEM7.

I need to look into this further.

The display of the Thor4 is not on during charging.

Which one do you prefer... any down or + sides using the Thor4 fw? Is the Thor4 also on when charging? Thnx

The display of the Thor4 is not on during charging.

I flashed it and it makes a HUGE difference in the watch temperature when charging so for now, Zeblaze FW it will be for me... We'll see the evolution of both firmware... ALSO, when you boot the watch and reboot it, there's no sound which is also a big + for me.

Not quite sure I understand this... Are you saying that your screen stayed on all the time when you charged the watch previously and it got hot? This is not good at all. Watch should remain powered on when you are charging but screen should be off.

So what version are you using now Sophie? I will have to test it out…

My LEM7 screen was on when charging. Also, when powering up the watch, it was making a "song" and when restarting, it was also doing a "song" (like all Lemfo watches) when booting and the Zeblaze firmware don't so it suits my needs better for now...!

Can you tell me the FW version number in watch settings please?

Ok thanks. That is absolutely terrible. The watch should remain powered on when charging but the screen always turns off after the time out is reached as set in display settings.

So there was definitely a problem with the watch set up the way it was.

Did you take the OTA when you were using the LEM7 firmware?
If so did you factory reset?

I would be very interested to hear what it would be like if you flashed the full firmware package posted here for the LEM7. But understand that it is a pain having to flash again…

I would also be interested to hear what your gps is like using the Thor 4 firmware.

If you can test outside ( no sim ) i’d appreciate it
Thanks

Yep I did.

Here is the result from the engineering app.
But, I still need to talk to Sophie and find out what happened.
I’ve been caught up with work last couple of days…

Hi . Tried same engineering app and nothing ? Not a single blip . Really hope this this is the ota update issue and not hardware .
Thanks

GPS working ok here…V 2.4

A way of training your gps is to go into settings/connect/gps and change to Device only. Leave for a while and use engineering mode and change GPS mode to Hot start. Turn on gpsĀ  to monitor. It should come good off the wrist or outdoors at first. Then on wrist outdoors.
