[ISSUES/Q&A] Umeox x201, TrueSmart, AW-414/420 - Ornate TrueSmart

THIS THREAD IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE PLANNING ON BUYING ONE OF THESE WATCHES...OR USERS THAT WISH TO SHARE BUGS OR PROBLEMS THEY'VE ENCOUNTERED.​
I'll start....
First off, what is the true RAM of the AW-420/1? Ive read up to 2gb (421) and as low as 512mb...
What is the issue with the 201/421s mic? Is it an hardware or software issue? If SW, does Loki's ROM address this?
I am seeing many comments that criticize the IPxx rating...even simple washing of hands will cause leakage....comments?
I read in multiple posts on German based forums that users were able to install 32GB and 64GB SD, class 10 cards in the 421 and they mounted fine. Has anyone confirmed this?
Does anyone know of a vendor or retailer that is willing to ship either the 201, 420, 421 etc. to the US?
Or....is there anyone in EU willing to help US buyers get these watch's delivered overseas?

i can confirm 32 GB installed and working fast with X201

The proper firmware version can be found by going to Settings/System/About. It is the bottom entry in the about. The current firmware is 20140120
EDIT:
fixed the firmware version. Haven't even had my fist cup of coffee yet, sorry.

root and security patch 1.02 on AW-420
Hi, I just tried to install lokifishs root and security patch 1.02 on my AW-420 FW 20131230, but this simply doesn't seem to work. While adb is running a lot of error Messages are displayed, saying either that files cannot be found or that they cannot be written.
Best, nilix24

Hi, I just installed the TalkBack Screen reading accessibility Service from the Play store, but the button to turn it on is simply missing. It seems to be positioned outside the TalkBack introductary message window, but also cannot be focused using an external Keyboard. My hope was that this could eventually be fixed by installing lokifishs root and security patch, but as I wrote in my last post that doesn't work on my AW-420.
I allready read that the Firmware of the AW-414/420 and also the TrueSmart do have issues with the accessibility Services, but couldn't figure this out more detailed. For me accessibility / using TalkBack is essential, so what can be done to solve this?
Many thanks, nilix24

TrueSmart microphone quality
The sound on my to smart for phone calls coming in is great. But when I speak it is just garbled and in audible to the other end. I have held the phone in various positions to little avail. This makes no sense because the voice recognition apps are able to follow me reasonably accurately. Anybody else had this problem and does anyone have any advice?
Also, how do I adjust up and down the volume of the speaker for example for phone calls but for other things as well.

Hi,
I have the same problem and it's very frustrating for me that' The watch looks beautiful and works well and I can not understand why there is a loud noise when I speak, I hope it's a software problem and the next versions will be resolved.
thanks,
Arie/

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but it seems to be the most logical place.
Question: Is it possible to choose your home screen or your last viewed screen as default when you turn on your TS screen? Currently, when you unlock your screen, it goes to the watch. I would prefer it to go to my home android screen.

Thanks for your help with the watch face default screen.
I have one more issue I am trying to solve. I followed Daniel Ortiz's "GPS Calibration and Quick Lock Fix" https://plus.google.com/u/0/111628072657804333818/posts/5UyzcSadTmw
Everything worked as shown in the pictures, however, once I leave wifi, I still cannot get a location fix using GPS. This means I cannot use cycling apps, google maps, and the damn time is always wrong. :crying: Does anyone know what steps need to be taken after the GPS calibration guide to have GPS working properly?

To be honest, one of two things MUST happen.... Either we get the source and the dev community fixes...or we are given firmware that works. In regards to the BT and GPS, I think this is gonna be about as good as it gets.

Well the bluetooth is working great for me (thanks to all the developers on XDA who made that possible), and BT was the most important thing for me, so I can't complain. Of course, I wish Omate released a properly functioning product, but as a startup company, I do understand having these early issues.

I have to reset my headset a couple times a day. And my BT speaker has to be paired every time I use it. I don't have much need for the GPS, I feel the screen size hinders most of the apps I use.
Btw, It's not really Omate...the TS has many cousins....it's a combination of Umeox and MTK. Both parties have gotten dirty in this situation.

Good to know about the BT. I have yet to test the BT connection to a wireless speaker/headphones for an extended period of time. There were some posts in the BT tether rom thread that stated that using just the Ensec security patch and not the BT tether rom gave a more stable BT connection.

I'm using Operative. Super battery life...great 3G connection periods and signal. Stable and fast too. With all that the patch offers, I will live with the minor BT disconnects.
I wish that the onboard Mic/speaker get fixed. Without the headset, a SIM equipped TS is basically useless for calls. I've read that a few people have mentioned decent quality...but very few. I actually am quite surprised how bad the quality is for the caller. If needed tho, I found that if you cover the Mic while the caller is talking, this can reduce the echo and distortion.

Pairing a bluetooth headset
Hi,
I got a kickstarter model from eBay, and updated / flashed the ROM to 20140115.153703_V2.0.
On my Bluetooth page, there is no 'Scanning' option to pair a headset.
I can pair the TS to a phone, but not TS to headset.
I have the Omate headset.
Is there a ROM or patch to allow pairing?
I have tethering wrking, but that is WiFi, and i have had the companion working also.
I am now using as a full phone (sim card) and calls are ok, but would really like to pair a headset.
