hello to all O2 owners, mine arrived today and I just wanted to make sure that the protective glass is already stuck on them because one is in the packageā€¦ I took off a foil with a piece of paper so at first glance it looks like the protection is there but I wouldnā€™t like to underestimate it and I donā€™t really want to try to peel it off eitherā€¦ thank you

I took conservative approachā€¦When I got mine, I just took out only the piece of paper used for pulling out the 2nd layer and preserved the one I got on the box to use later when existing one starts showing scratchesā€¦

I wanted to try TWRP on my Optimus 2 on top of stock v1.8 and ended up doing oem unlock. Now even if I flash the v1.8 along with preloader, still OEM unlock message is not going off of boot screen. Developer option shows OEM already unlocked. Can some one please suggest what I need to do If I want to the device back to its day 1 factory state ? With out loosing IMEI number.

Tried both WiWatch 2 and Gaofit but none of them worked with my Samsung phone in notifying a incoming call on my Samsung phone on Optimus 2 screen. One suggestion was to use Google Phone app, that does work with WiWatch 2 but then I will loose the automatic call recording option which comes with Samsung Stock ROM dialer.

If you want notifications about calls/messages, etc you can use Watch Droid on your phone and watch to do that, or if you have data you can use bridge to have the notification sent over, but nothing I know of will allow you to use the device like you would an andriod wear device to take calls over bluetooth.

You need to lock again the bootloader to dismiss that message. Relocking the bootloader in these devices need a -rather difficult to set up- tool as we donā€™t have volume buttons to confirm in fastboot that we want to lock again, so it must be ā€˜forcedā€™ in service mode. This is a very technical procedure as you may end bricking your watch if done wrongly so I wonā€™t discuss it more than I already did. We donā€™t encourage modifications or messing with the ROM structure since this is a newbies-mostly forum and we donā€™t want people go bricking their devices (More than it already happens lol)

If you somehow do it on your own, well, no need to worry about losing your IMEI if you follow the usual firmware flashing guide for MTK devices in download mode.

The best companion app is Watchdroid, you might want to check it

There is no need to mess around trying to unlock the boot/preloader.
Just OEM unlock and fastboot flashing unlock should be fine.

I think he already unlocked the bootloader and want the 5 second message warn to be gone :sweat_smile: that just not possible by normal means

My experience with the Optimus 2 would greatly improve if I could get the OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Calendar apps to work. Both apps seem to reboot due to an issue with Google services. The Google Calendar app reboots after the initial screen, and the ChatGPT app canā€™t get past the account login screen. I canā€™t figure out what the problem is or how to fix it any help is appreciated thanks!

Google calender crashes on many watches. However you will find it works just fine on this watch with our FAW firmware

It completely transformed my watch experience! Thank you very much. It must have taken a lot of effort to make it work so smoothly. My battery lasts longer, everything runs faster, and all the apps Iā€™ve wanted work perfectly. Is there a way to donate to the team or show my appreciation in some way?

I now have this problemā€¦! The cable is only getting it to 91% It happened suddenly, after the watch powered itself off due to low batteryā€¦ Is there any benefit to a factory reset?

How long have you had the watch?
The battery rarely retains a 100% charge after about 18 months of constant use.
Put it this way, the reason why you get an amazing amount of compute power, large screen and customer service for such a small amount of money (compared to Samsung, Apple etc) is because the components used to make the device are the best they can provide for the budget (not the best, obviously).

So, in answer to your question - you can factory reset or flash firmware, to clear out any cobwebs. That could actually make a difference :+1:

Apart from that, there is not much you can do.
Unless you have excellent assembly and soldering skills to use a new battery.
A new battery requires the main board connector to be attached.

Iā€™m sorry there is no better advice.
Iā€™m guessing that you already have the FAW firmware on the watch?

Cheers

Hi Pablo,
I have managed to fix my own problem, I usually charge with the cable plugged into one of my computersā€™ usb ports, but I tried using a more powerful source from a power point instead and low and behold it charged to 100%ā€¦so now all is right with the worldā€¦until I find out what happens when they switch off 3G! Even though the watch says its using 4G?
