Yes, I figured each SIM behaves differently, none allows Apn settings, 1 out of 3 connects to Mobile data, and unfortunately it’s the one I use for work…which I can’t leave in the watch.
By the way am I the only one with battery charging issues? I tried 3 different chargers and it doesn’t charge well. Last night I put to charge at 39% and this morning,after 7 hours of charge, it was at 87%…and it is a good one because often I find it in the morning at 50 or 60%.
It probably means that the watch got disconnected during the night. Bad connection ?
It is curious because the firmware is exactly the same as the firmware that @droidtrix talks about.
The only difference is a few drivers and cosmetics.
I have tested this and the settings can be edited and Sim can be hot swapped if you follow the instructions.
The settings you change are automatically saved if you swipe “back”
I have tested this as well.
I recommend using swipe back and not the back button.
Have you spoken to @droidtrix about this in his thread about APNs?
using the back button saves the changes and swiping from the edge of the screen also saves the changes, but swiping in the middle of the screen does not save the changes, so I would recommend using the button
Quick update: received the first of the 2 new SIMs I ordered. This is a SIM for domotic applications, just bought it to see if I can apply the suggested workaround. Unfortunately still not working.
When I put the new SIM it connects to network and I can see and edit APN but like the others, it can not be saved, back button or swipe back make no difference as APN immediately goes back to the one of the SIM. I also tried to 1) enter APN 2) Remove the SIM while still seeing on the screen the APN settings I just entered (meaning without using Back button or swipe back) 3) put the other SIM… In this case watch does not recognize the SIM.
I tried the process a dozen of times, with Mobile data on or off, WiFi on or off…nothing.
I will get the second new SIM tomorrow, but honestly I don’t expect it will work. In the meantime I managed to spend 4.50 euro to buy Nova Launcher Prime as I found a YouTube video explaining that it could solve the problem… Obviously it didn’t not work.
In my opinion it’s a Firmware thing and it would be good to mention to Lemfo.
I’m discussing with Bangood to return the watch.
Yesterday after trying different SIM back and forth I was able to save APN while using my ‘work SIM’ . Indeed Back button does the trick.
I was very excited to have finally the solution… But as soon on as I put the ‘watch SIM’ I get usual error ‘APN settings not available for this user’.
Considering that ‘work SIM’ works ok on the watch and ‘watch SIM’ works ok on the phone, then it’s just that the Lem14 is not accepting the ‘watch SIM’ (only for AON as for the rest I have connection and can make calls). So I guess there is no solution and besides the watch, I’m stuck with unusable SIM with 2 years abonament.
Update on charging issues. Put it to charge a 23pm last night at 3%, this morning at 4am it was at 46%, as I think something causes the watch to stop charging, perhaps the notifications, I powered it off… This morning at 8am it was 86%.So 9 hours charging does not get to 100%
I suspect that the Sim APN is not compatible if this has happened.
But I can’t be 100 % sure…
The charging issue can be because of a built in protection circuit.
These newer devices are not recommended to be charged all night.
The latest information suggests that charging until full and disconnecting the watch is the better way.
If you have the charging dock you should connect it to a USB power source if charging from empty.
It is designed to be used when the battery reaches around 40% capacity if you are mobile.
If you charge from empty I recommend that you use the cable directly to the watch.
Either way - it is far better to charge until full and then disconnect.
Otherwise it begins the cycle again and I think it is not good for the battery.
It is the same for modern mobile phones.
Overcharging is not a good idea.
Thank you. Is there any way to inform Lemfo and to get the SIM issue fixed via firmware update? I guess I won’t be the only one with the issue.
Regarding the charging issue, that is not the case. I don’t have charging dock, only cable. Now it’s 11am and I got to 94%…it never got to 100%. its been charging 12 hours straight and still no 100%. I’ll see if I can return it.
No, because as I have explained in previous posts - the actual Android 10 APN editing menu requires the Android “navbar” to be able to function as intended.
Given the round screen this has not been possible.
There is a a possible solution being developed at the moment but I could not say if it would be implemented for this model. Or even at all.
If it becomes a possibility I will let everyone know…
But just so you understand - navbar is only available for square screens - so it’s not a simple fix.
I always advise people to use Sim cards that are known to work, for this very reason.
About the charging issue - if the information I have given does not apply to you - then I have no idea.
If you are unsatisfied with the watch then I suggest that you return it.
Hi …
I dont know if you are still around
Can you provide more information on how you customize your watch / luncher to look like this?
Try this
Never used it but heard good things
Yup, Nova Launcher can do that, I use it.
I will try it… thanks
Hi all,
I hope someone can help me with this problem: I would like to create a personal dictionary, so I can create a shortcut for my email. When I go here:
Settings->System->Language&input->Virtual keyboard->Android keyboard(AOSP)->Text correction->Personal dictionary there is no way to press the plus sign (hidden?) even with an external keyboard. Any idea?
Have you tried an app like vysor to see the whole screen ?
And here it is . Its a usefull tool even if this doesnt help your problem. I often use this to set up new watches
Write an SMS with your email address. You don’t send anywhere this SMS. Exit the application and the keyboard has learned your email address. (Vysor does not help in this case)
Thank @gyuri for this alternative, but I was looking for a way to create a keyword that turn into a long long character sequence. Like: “eml” that turn into “myfullemail@gmail.com” or “myadr” that turn into my full address. Not sure that feature exist in A10 or in the ASOP virtual keyboard.
Thank, I didn’t know this tool. For myself, I use Teamviewer free edition, that work in wireless and allow file transfer.
In your example, if you type “myfull” it will offer the email address in the top row of the keyboard.
