Does anyone have the i95 smartwatch? - Other SmartWatches

Hi ive been looking on the gearbest website and looking at the i95 smartwatch it looks like a nice low priced android watch I cant find any English reviews fort this watch does anyone have this watch and can do a review or tell me if its any good also what's the likelihood of me having to pay import duty when buying from them when shipping to uk?

The watch looks really beautiful and the specs are ok, but it has no slots for SIM or TF card as it seems. You can not use this one as stand-alone phone and access mobile data.
I have also bought a smartwatch from gearbest last week but I'm still waiting for it. In the shipping message they said it is shipped from the netherlands. In this case there would be no import duty/taxes because it is in the EU. But I don't know exactly yet, I'll have to wait until it arrives.

It looks very interesting. I asked from several places and it seems to be in stock. I just placed an order in gearbest, it was the cheapest place. App can be found from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ingenic.watchmanager

i95 smartwatch
I've just taken the plunge and ordered one of these too. Can't find any reviews whatsovever online, so will post a full review of this watch once I receive it. Looking at the specs, its very similar to the Sony Smartwatch 3, but obviously at a fraction of the cost. Also, I've ordered from Gearbest on a few occasions and can say the service has always been good. Will keep you posted.

Gearbest does NOT have it in stock. Maybe in 10 days or so (this is what their customer care says)! And to be exact, no one has it yet!
Fact is that neither the manufacturer knows when they will be able to deliver the product anywhere (just checked with them!)
So @suunnittelija stop selling lies! I hope Gearbest is paying you well.

Interesting info. thanks setmov. At least I know now not to expect the watch for at least a couple of weeks. Will do write up and possibly a video review once received.

I didn't say that Gearbest has it it stock, I said I asked from several places -> from aliexpress suppliers. I said also that I placed an order in gearbest because it was the cheapest place to get it -> aliexpress suppliers have price tag for $125.
I have received confirmation from gearbest that they do not have it in stock at the moment, so from that part you are right @setmov.

I read quite well, and if this is the story, then the people on aliexpress lied to you, and you (unintentionally) lied all of us, since the manufacturer hasn't shipped any watch so far. So if this is the case, then please accept my sincere apologies!

No problem, apologies accepted I should learn to write, I was typing with a phone in a hurry so I didn't be so specific on my original post
Back to the original topic. I have LG G watch and been tired of waiting Huawei Watch and Moto 360 2nd gen. I'm also not so convinced about Android Wear, specially because there's need to install all apps into the phone. Interesting to see how i95 works and what it can do out of the box.

One of the main reasons I want this is because of the metal strap I would get a k8 or s8 but straps are rubber

I already got couple of days ago from focalprice.
mine is Extreme edition which is has metal band.
current version x3-2015810_0959 is not fully function.
some internal apps not installed "compass","bluetooth networksharing"
browser doesn't work coz. couldn't enable bluetooth tethering.
(also browser and games apps in Chinese)
no USB storage function, always recognize as a adb even not enable USB debugging in developer option
so internal video player and photo viewer is no way to use.
language is automatically set from smartphone.
Heart rate monitor is works fine I compare with my pulse oximeter
USB adapter is clip type but material of clip (plastic) is seems very weak quite easily is broke.
Firmware of this smartwatch is looks still under development so need to wait newer version of firmware...

TC,
Why are you trying to sell your (broken/faulty/stolen/illegal) products here?
Good day.
in the picture you can clearly see it's not broken especially in the second one where the device is actually on... That was a very ignorent and prejudice post... if you're not interested... then ignore the post and go away....
Never make assumptions
because you will be an ass and the umm... will shun you!

TC,
It's nothing personal or prejudiced. It's called common sense. Something is clearly wrong with the phone. And it's also because of common sense (in other people) that you still have 2 remaining, as opposed to having already sold them all in your initial advertisement in which you were told specifically not to post more than one advert.
So I maintain my position, something is wrong with the phones and you're trying to minimize your loss by selling them off cheap.
Good day.
ok.. nothing personal
well yeah... so i posted something a couple days ago and sold one already? ok
and im sure the mod meant one advert that day... obviously posting so many in one i can udnerstand would be a problem... but if i come back a couple days later to repost shouldnt be wrong.... should it? especially if the other post is forgotten by my standards
also... im unsure on what you mean by cheap? how much do you want to pay for it? the reason i have so many are due to impulse for good prices... ive seen them go on ebay for a lil over 600 brand new... mines are used so i think im giving a competitive price

ebf_flores,
Alright, I'm curious then. Why exactly do you have 3 X1i-s to begin with, and why sell them off now? And what are their production weeks?
Cheers.
bought one when they were first released in America for about 800
last month saw a deal to get one for a lil less than 600 hundred and had to get it dont know why cause of the price (sold my ipod touch and sony mylo to get some money for it)
then a friend of mine saw them and decided he want one so i got one for him but then the time the thing got here he decides he cant afford so i stuck with it
now if i tell the reason im for certain you will use it against me... right?
the last two I have say 08W46 on the back under the battery... the one i sold was 08W44

Like I said, it's nothing personal. Now that you've explained more on how you came to own so many X1is, I take back my initial post and apologize if I came out as rude and offensive.
Good luck trying to sell them then, it's unfortunate that you have those production weeks. Whatever the reason you are trying to sell them for, I know it won't be as good as it can be, so if you'd rather not share it, that's fine.
Cheers.
understood... although it was a bid rude in my opinion but i guess i misunderstood your point of view
well there's no cracks on them by the stylus or on the battery so i dont think i got any of the bad ones... i can take pics if anyone wants to see em
well... my reason is i crashed my car (Audi A4) and semi totaled it.... i got another one (salvage... missing transmission) bought from New York and while i was able to afford the car itself... shippin from new york to my location is about a grand and something so i need to let these go to recover the cost

If your looking for games, there's a dedicated thread in the apps and themes section. There's also a list of the best free games for the N7.
I can post links to them if you want
BTW, no worries. Just glad I could help someone, my good deed for the day
Once again thanks very much.
One thing I wanted to ask is my n7 has been shipped today but how do I know if im getting a white or black one? Im really excited for it to arrive

You get a black (or brown - what ever it is..) one, because the white backcover was only a special edition for the I/O presentation.
The most of the reviewed N7's are withe because only the guys at the I/O got them.
It will be the black version, they stopped making the brown version a bit ago. If i read correctly, I don't think the brown ones were actually assembled by ASUS, not too sure about that. (I got the brown one from Tesco last month, didn't know it was brown until it was mentioned on here and I looked on the box )
EDIT: Like flomitdreio said above, you won't get a white version.
I have received mine today but guess what. No charger, open seal, fingerprints all over the screen
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Really unlucky :crying:, I take it that your sending it back? If you get a replacement and there are fingerprints on the screen and the seal is open it might just have been quality control checked by ASUS. Also, If you bought it from the Play Store, did you tick the option to have your details on it when you were paying for it? This might also be the reason for the broken seal and fingerprints.
It doesn't excuse there being no charger though...
I have called google theyve passed on the details to the department that deal with it and will apparently contact me in a couple of days. Honestly I wouldnt have minded but the fact theres no charger its outraging...

Theres wrapping for the plug. But no plug.
Now when I spoke to google first, the cssn number on the box was not in my name or for my details. The second time I called nothing of that was mentioned however, when I look on the delivery note I got the same serial number. Atm I cannot see any issues, lets see what google says.
So angry
Theres also scuffs on the box
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
An update. Just got off the phone again to google. The lady was I gotta say very helpful and told me my cssn number is actually linked to two devices somehow. So basically now the "specialist team" have this info and will get back to me in 48 hours I was told. I asked if the replacement is a new device or a refurb. She told me its a new device. I will apparently receive an RMA email which will contain a link to order my replacement
Do you guys think I should play around with this n7 until replacement??
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Shame that you've got a bad experience with ASUS before you even turn the device on. If I were you, I'd use it until they send you a new one out. Just don't root it or do anything like that. You can always restore it to the factory settings. Can't do any harm to play around with a device that you've paid at least 169 quid for.
Looking at the box, I'd say that someone had it before you and have returned it for some reason. Mine didn't have any scuffs or scratches on it......

That was my exact thoughts. So hopefully ill hear from them soon. Lol I paid 199 quid for mine.lol so its like a lot of mony for me considering I dont earn much. I even applied for a credit card with a limit of 250 quid and well this what happens
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I hope that you get a good one soon. It's really a top notch tablet when you get one that works well, especially for 200 quid. Good luck with getting a perfect one back. (mines got a bit of screen flicker, so I'm half and half to return it until I know that I'll get a good one back)
Just out of interest, does it say on the box that it's brown or back?

Hi i just checked my box and i can confirm that it says brown. When i get my replacement i will also then let you know what it says on the box.
Thanks for your reassurance guys. I cant wait to get my OWN new nexus 7 that i can use to full functionality and make it my own. I have been using this ome, though there is nothing wrong with the device i.e. screen lifts or flickers however i am loving it so far.
I recommend you Xda Premium

I am getting so anxious..how long do google take to reply. I am starting to love this device however dont wanna get used to it too much, obviously because of the replacement im hoping to receive.

Just a quick update guys. Received an rma email not too long ago but cant process the replacement order due to insufficient funds. What shall I do guys? I have to wait two weeks till I get paid or can I call my credit card company that I used to buy my n7?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
If I were you, I'd ring Google and tell them that your not getting paid until in two weeks, and that you'll have to sort it out then. There's no point messing around with the credit card when everything can be sorted easily in 2 weeks.
I suppose if everything if perfect with the device except from the charger, could you just ask them to send a charger out. You'll still keep the years warranty in case anything does go wrong.........

OnePlus taking pre-orders for one hour on 10/27 & 11/17

OnePlus One pre-orders are just around the corner. To make things a little easier, you can go ahead and get your order just the way you want it. Save your cart, mark your calendar, and relax. You've got this.

Edit: As we found out later, this just for one hour and not a permanent change in their way of doing business.
At least one blog says the sale is only for one hour. If so, the invite system would seem to be intact.

That's right, the preorder will just accompany the invite system. Means, if you get an invite, you can "jump the queue" of preorders and get your One directly.
It will be a ddos on request...
That site will go down, taking in hardly any pre-orders.
Enough with the hyping, start selling the device already.

The don't have the cash flow or capital of some other companies. If they produce too many phones and they don't sell, then they are gone. The way they do it at the moment means their inventory comes straight off the production line and out the door, it's a much safer bet for a new business. What concerns me though is how they intend to grow the business on such thin margins.
Mmm bacon
Does anyone know if this site is selling the international version (just in case I wasn't able to pre-order for a reason or another)?

It may be chineese version but CM11S installed. International version is available only on the official OnePlus site.
I can't wait to witness the aftermath of the "1 hour preorder" disaster. This forum is going to be FLOODDED with people who weren't able to get their order completed due to the OnePlus site being overwhelmed and crashing. There will also be others *****ing because their payment couldn't be processed due to lack of funds (and somehow blame OnePlus for this...).
It's going to be entertaining.

Internet tears will flow stronger than the Amazon river in the days after the OPO pre-order. The stories will be so sad it'll be funny! I guarantee you that they have a fixed number available for immediate order and as soon as they sell those within the first 5 minutes the system will just claim that the servers are overloaded and to keep trying.
So, I should probably wait until the 27 to sell my extra OPO in order to get the best price if all this is going to do is cause chaos

Just a quick question of opinion..
Do you guys think I should skip the preorder the 27:th and wait for an invite instead?
My concern is that I might wind up in the bottom of the pile of all the orders that'll be placed and I heard that invites will have a higher priority.
Thanks!

Get set up for the pre-order online as its worth a shot and try your best to get an invite as you'll still be able to use it.
Due to the technical difficulties with the first pre-order session, OnePlus is giving their customers another crack at it:
Besides deciding that an apology was in order, OnePlus has decided to give consumers a second chance to pre-order its flagship phone. So on November 17th, starting at 10am EST, another OnePlus One pre-order period will begin.

I did. I do not expect to be selected, I never win stuff like this, but I figured it was no harm no foul since I did not have to - just to enter - do 5 stupid things on social media for a chance to be picked. You really only have to give a name and email.
But the downside to this is that this may not bode well for USA release time. If this is signing up for a trial run, and it just got posted this week, and they do not say when people will be picked, it is kind of hard to imagine they would do all of this and scramble to get the phones into people's hands for what 1-2 weeks of "testing" before a true USA launch. My point is, I think this would have been done earlier than just now IF we are still hoping for a June USA release.
IF YOU GET PICKED and are an XDA user, post up here. I'd be curious if anyone here gets in on the test drive.
The site you posted is different from what my invitation linked. Its said clearly I am selected being a loyal customer Xd. The first 276 invites who signed up will get a LG G4 WiFi which cost $325. Maybe yours is a different promotion.

You got a direct invitation sent to you? As what you show is not what is on the general public facing entry page. I suspect you have other LG products? So I bet you got an automatic invite & selection. Lucky you.

That's because it ended at midnight yesterday.
I registered a couple days ago but I too don't expect to be selected. I don't usually win those things.
I signed up when I saw the Pocketnow posting a post about this event, but like everyone has mentioned, the chances of ACTUALLY getting selected are pretty slim. Would be sweet to be one of the chosen ones though.
This probably sounds dumb, but I honestly dunno. For those who get selected, can you actually keep the device then use it with your carrier? It seems obvious that you'd be able to keep it, but still, would be nice to be sure.

It's WiFi only and you have to return it. (I think. The return part might just be for the UK demo thing.)

Hmm, I looked at the official rules and it says that winners have to pay for the taxes and fees for the device. Doesn't say anything about returning it, so unless I read the rules wrong, you get to keep it.

I got this same email last night at midnight. Filled out and sent back at 12:01. Lol
I am curious about it being wifi only, without radios.
It would be fun to try their program though..
I'm registered the beginning of May and still waiting...
I did and they are coming to tampa lol. I live 20 minutes west of there
Today is the big day hopefully. Whoever wins sweepstakes, let us know.
For those of us not picked, LG and T-Mobile are having a tour where you can see and test it out. Dates & cities. I plan to try it in person if the location in my city is reasonable to get to.

Hey man...what makes you think today is the big day? Just curious. I couldn't find anything about winner being notified in any of LG's documentation

The sweepstakes entry's ended on the 11th and winners drawn on the 13th. It was in terms and conditions, which will not open for me now. But that's what I read

Nvidia recalls Shield Tablet due to possible overheating

NVIDIA has announced a recall of its SHIELD tablets, sold between July 2014 and July 2015:
Information on how to obtain a replacement device: http://www.nvidia.com/support/tabletrecall
Official nVidia notice: http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/notice-for-nvidia-tablet-customers
This should be stickied - this is big news.
Actual Nvidia statement here:
http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/notice-for-nvidia-tablet-customers-nasdaq-nvda-2043927.htm
Coincidentally I'm just awaiting a replacement. My defective unit (not for overheating) reached them yesterday. Hoping they send me out an unaffected replacement by close of play today, though may be subject to delay now I guess.
Yeah new tablet for all \o/
also, double check this: http://tabletrecall.expertproductinquiry.com/registration/registration
how to check battery type on non-stock ROMs?
does anyone know how to check battery type on non-stock roms? I have CM12.1 currently installed and I would rather not need to go back to stock just to find out I have the non-recallable battery type.

Agreed, but not even the stock 4.4.2 rom has the option as far as I can tell.

The battery type check was added in the latest OTA along with a recall app that is opened if you have the right battery type. You will probably have to flash the new stock build to check.

Have a look at the faq: http://tabletrecall.expertproductinquiry.com/faq/6x1gnn
Q. How do I know if my tablet is affected?
A. The recall includes NVIDIA SHIELD tablets (both WIFI and LTE) sold between July 2014 and July 2015.
Model numbers P1761, P1761W and P1761WX and serial numbers 0410215901781 through 0425214604018 are included in this recall. The model and serial numbers are etched on the left side edge of the tablets and printed on the packaging.
Please go to www.nvidia.com/support/tabletrecall and follow the instructions. You will need to update your tablet with the latest software to determine if your tablet is affected.

Alternatively call them and ask. Numbers are on faq page.
Thanks, that helps. My serial is in the range so I guess i'll figure out how to unroot and update. Thanks!
Anyone knows what to do as a EU consumer?
Also, damn it. I use my shield tablet during field work. This will be a hard blow for my work flow

I'd like to figure it out too, so while we're here: do we have to re-virgin our tablets to ask for replacement? And if so, how can we unroot and wipe the heck out of it?

I'm not 100% sure. XDA has changed a bit and theres no sticky guides any more. I rooted it like 8 months ago and was happy where it was so I didn't follow any of the development on it

Having literally gone through the RMA process myself for an unrelated issue, I'm assuming you complete that online form and they will send a replacement. You have to agree to a statement that your old affected device will be remotely wiped on receipt of your new one. I'm assuming they'll include a prepaid label for you to return it (goes to an address in the Netherlands).
Usual RMA process is you send the defective unit back and upon receipt they will send out the replacement. Has it been made clear what the process is for this recall? It looks to me, given that statement you consent to, they will forward a replacement right away. If so, that is pretty trusting.
I knew unrooting was not a problem, prolly a factory reset suffice but I'm not sure. The problem is the unlocked bootloader. That can't be undone afaik. In any case there is no word about the roms/root/bootloader type we flashed in the meanwhile on the nvidia official faq pages. This an hadrware defect and looks quite serious to them if they ask for a worldwide return, so I'm not even sure we need to worry about whatever software we flashed in

Thanks Cris_c81. Ive to come home and use the reclamation process from the shield tablet.
And Im glad that Nvidia makes it smooth for us consumer to get a safe product now when the current one is proclaimed unsafe to use.
Also, is it ok to make a RMA and then unroot the tablet while I wait for a replacement?
Just did the whole process.
Yes you could call and check your serial number without restoring back to stock, however the RMA process has you using the app( built into the latest OTA) to retrieve RMA code to complete the online process. You do agree to the remote wipe once your replacement is turned on. It also says it will render the tablet in usable. (They likely has a kill switch in the latest OTA also). Just got the confirmation email and it looks to be here in 2-4 weeks. No where during the online process does it say of they want the old device back, however in the email it seems to imply they do. Only way to know for sure is if there is a return postage in the RMA box.

I did the whole process as well for Romania and for some reason i have not received any emails yet -_-
Also i see that they want to return the tablet and i have no problem with that as long as they send any UPS/DHL/DPD courier to my door to pick it up and they pay for the transport since it's their stupid fault.

See this is what I don't know. Because the standard RMA process they ask the customer to foot the cost of paying for FedEx or similar. Unless of course you complain to support and then they send you a prepaid FedEx label, which is what I did

Consider the ginormous screw-up that they did with the battery and reading the process on the page it would seem that they will send you a new tablet and when you open it, the other one will be rendered unusable which basically makes it a giant ball of turd or a brick
Not sure if they want it shipped back or not but by what i'm reading they won't. Even so i don't mind keeping the blank one for spare pieces.
