I don’t have an issue using the camera in third party apps on my Optimus 2 … If you are concerned with that there are apps like Flip Image that might ??? help you ?
There is not a screen size issue (for me) on round or square /rectangle because you choose whatever works best for you…note:::if you choose square/rectangle mode it gives you better access to clickables. It’s always a personal choice unless you are using stock apps. Your apps should all function in both modes.
I haven’t. heard anything on a new version of the Kospet Note but thats not to say Kospet isn’t working on it … It’s still advertised as operating on A7 and lower specs . I don’t know of any other FAW with rotatable flash camera other than the O2 to date. Technology advance surprises’ can be speedy with Kospet.
I mentioned the Google work arounds that I had to put a little effort on with my O2 as anyone may encounter on any FAW due to the conflicts with Google . All Google and other apps are presently functioning perfectly on my O2 , so I choose the Google phone function apps as my default apps because they do more than stock apps… They function in both round and square /rectangle modes.
The Optimus 2 did recently receive an OTA firmware upgrade of build 1.7 on the A10.7 system. As Dr mentioned. above, this forum will be able to provide links to it’s members to a firmware upgrade soon.
As far as water resistant life proof my O2 has not had any fits due to a little splash of me washing hands or doing dishes… I do think one needs to not let water or sweat seep in it near the camera …sim tray or speaker. I have heard others concerned because their screens had fits after wearing it during a rigorous workout
Sounds promising that the camera issue can be solved with a 3rd party app. Re: Google apps working (including in square mode), Dr_s reply earlier (“Google apps - no”) seems to suggest they won’t. To be clear, what I mean is that Google apps like Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, Maps etc are permanently set to square mode, even when I select round mode as the global setting. This was the case on the Prime 2 stock firmware (even after doing an OTA update), and one of the main reasons I went for the international FAW firmware upgrade. Given the other Google app workarounds you mentioned as being necessary, sounds like I should wait until an international FAW firmware upgrade becomes available for the Optimus 2.
When it does, it will be posted in this forum, correct?
Sounds like soccer with the Optimus 2 is still a no-no, but that’s not a huge deal.
Hello all Kospet O2 User,
I can recommend trying the FAW international firmware. EDITED!!
The team here did a great job with it last year!
I don’t think the final FAW firmware announced late last year will ever be released. You don’t have to wait for it.
Unfortunately you can’t recommend this because it is not public and the beta testing is over.
I don’t know how many times I have to say this, but I will publish the Release Candidate as soon as I have access to my pc.
Here in Australia we have been smashed with 13 meter deep water and I can only apologise for what seems like an endless stream of problems that have slowed me down.
But on the other hand, no one is gonna die if it has been delayed.
So I’m not gonna lose sleep over it.
When I’m ready there will be an announcement and a new category.
It is an irony and a great metaphor:
In the circumstances in which you and your country are, you find solutions even for what happens in these smart watches and make our lives even more comfortable than it already is.
Thank you for fighting, for fixing, for moving forward despite the difficulties with your health and the elements of nature.
So I finally bought an Optimus 2 about a month ago and it finally arrived about a week ago.
Finally got some time to test it out yesterday. After fully charging it and using it for a few hours yesterday evening (fairly heavy usage, with several hours Wifi hotspot), I switched it to “lite” mode before bed when it was on about 35% battery. I did not connect it to the charger, as I wanted to see how long standby would last in lite mode.
This morning the battery had run out. I’ve been attempting to charge it with a 5V 3A charger for over 12 hours now, and I still don’t see the blue charging battery animation on the screen. I just tried to turn it on. It responded, but after the startup sequence it showed zero % and immediately shut down again. I reconnected the charging cable and still the charging animation does not show.
This is very disappointing for a brand new watch. Is there any recourse other than sending it back for a replacement?
I would personally charge it using a pc USB port.
Not a 3amp phone charger.
Then if the problem persists send it back.
Kospet are actually very good after sales service and also have European warehouses.
As I have explained several times, lite mode is absolutely pointless.
Don’t use it. It’s the same launcher and operating system but just hides some items from the main menu…
If your battery is still a problem then you can use the chat option on the official Kospet Aliexpress store or email them with proof of purchasing to after-sales@kospet.com
Sent an email to that address on Sunday and still no reply. Ditto for the pop-up chat on the official site (kospet.com). I can’t seem to find any chat option on their Aliexpress store.
Hello everybody I have been really happy with my O2 but recently discover thay it always shows up as a bluetooth discoverable device even with the bluetooth off. If the watch is not on airplane mode it always appears as a discoverable bluetooth devic by the name “WATCH 2” or “Optimus 2”. I think it is a waste of energy since I always use it as an srand alone device maybe somebody know what is going on? maybe it is the lower Soc?
