New here so first, Hello to everyone.
I am planning to buy a LEMFO Lem4 pro. The things that attracted me most is the large screen and full call functionality. Have watched a number of reviews on YT which helped to gain trust on the build quality & battery so far, but left with the following questions-
1. Once YT video I saw on "Hidden Settings" where every app opended were in Potrait mode. So, is there any option to make all apps in landscpae orientation, to work comfortably from wrist?
2. I saw some posts regarding problems after OTA. So, id there anyway to disable OTA update or there is a fix already?
3. Saw something regarding GPS/Accelarometer not working but starts working after inserting SIM. Does that problem still prevails or any solution out there?
4. Can someone give a hands on review after a month / number of days use? How it's still going? How much stress it still handles? Touch response slow? Wrist turning activating watch slow? something like these.
5. Is it okay to stay with the stock android if I strictly want to use for making calls, reading emails, sending text and use absolute necessary apps like Google maps or YT. Or there is a way to root yet?
6. Previously I was planing to buy Finow Q1 pro, then saw a serious notification problem (from XDA board). Is there any software related issue with the stock android also?
Thanks for you patience .
Re Lem4 pro
I have a Lemfo Lem4 pro since 3 months and i use it as my primary phone with sim inside.
1 : use 'rotation control' apk on play store.
2 : no problems after OTA.
3 : no problem with GPS (but i have my sim inside).
5 : it's ok with stock Android and not rooted.
This is the best watchphone i ever get ( have tested more than 10 models since 10 years ), the sound is really good in phone call, the screen is great (cool for the eyes), GPS is ok with Google-Map, wifi and bluetooth ok, despite the big screen she's cool to wear because lightweight, strap can be change... I use it with vocal command (Google) for everything : call, reply to sms, research, etc...
No problems and happy with this watch.
I have already bought the new Lemfo LEM4 Pro watch phone about 1 month ago and I love it! Nice big enough 2.2 inch screen, easily visible at daylight
Looks Slimmer and weights lighter than the Neptune Pine and with 16 Gigabyte of onboard non-removable memory, I have already installed many apps and used almost half of its memory (only apps, no music, photos or videos as they take huge amounts of memory, but I did copy some of all aforementioned files just for fun and they work great)
It comes with a very restrictive app launcher, just install any launcher from the Google Play store and you can install any widgets and apps you like, I went for the Nova Launcher and it works great
On the negative side, the GPS doesn't work (maybe I am doing something wrong?), it has only one useless other than video conferencing front facing camera that has terrible resolution and accelerometer doesn't work for some reason
But I much prefer it than the bulky Neptune Pine, also thinking of buying a cheap flat camera for the occasional snapshot that I need to take while on the go

I have to agree. I have two Neptunes 128GB. I also have a lem4. They are all wasted by the crippled Kernel and OS.
Now the LEM 4 PRO. Wow, I paid over the odds for it, but I didn't mind as LEMFO UK, have always been good to me.

Its semi rooted. Very frustrating, as I cant use any of my banking apps.
I ended up fully rooting. Rooting was tricky. I started by following what I posted in LEM4 thread. Root fails. So you have to factory reset phone. Install the Windows version of Kingoroot and run that on freshly erased LEM4 PRO. It will take a while and then come back saying its failed. Reboot LEM4 PRO, install SuperSU app and you will find its rooted even though it failed. Bonus is now it didn't install all the Kingo crap.

many thanks for the replies everyone. I have already ordered Lem4Pro and now waiting for this to arrive. About the rooting, can you elaborate the process a little? May be 6-7 bullet points? That would be very helpful. And I remember to read some guide line about the GPD issue ... here it goes for you guys to try out-
I found a solution to broken GPS on Lem4 pro if it has failed for some if they factory reset watch after the latest firmware upgrade. I flashed back the Aug 2 firmware and did not factory reset after this update and GPS returned to normal. To keep GPS working you must not factory reset watch after OTA or Flashing firmware All good now This is a temp fix until or if a new firmware fix becomes available.

Hi, could you share a link with aug 2 firmware? Unfortunately GPS does not work in my lem4 pro too. Thank you.
How Can I remove google account on my Lem4 Pro? I need to change google account on my Play Store in Lem4 pro. How to change it?
Phone call quality.
Hi all!
Regarding phone call quality of you useing the watch as a stand alone, how good is it? How good is the signal strength compared to regular cell phone?
And how well does Google assistant translate voice accurately? Does it mess up text messages?
I've had Lemfo lem 4 and was disappointed about phone call quality, even changing providers. People couldn't hear all of what I said when having lesser reception, even if my cell phone had no problems in same areas. I live in Stockholm, so signals should not be a problem unless it's a week antenna on the Lemfo.
Any experiences about this would be much appreciated!
Best regards!

Excellent info!
One question; do you have experience of the regular lem4 (not the pro), and if so, is the call quality or signal strength any better?
Reason for question is that I owned the regular lem4 and had problems with the antenna.
Thx!
Beware that this device is not equipped with a magnetic sensor. Very sad, given I bought it exactly for navigation (why else would you want a smartwatch with huge screen? who would expect that nowadays devices without compass still exist?!) GPS navigation software will not be able to show you direction of you walk, only change in your location - very inconvenient...
Guys,
Have one of these but find if i charge it from a pc then the display becomes corrupt and disappears. The only way to fix
this is to reboot the watch after every recharge. Is this normal?.Thanks
les
Good to know about the gps hardware that is non-existent!!
Actually, this is just one more thing to frustrate me even more right now.
Im from Brazil and I just bought this new huge thing in my tiny wrist ( the pictures I've seen on internet do no justice of it's size and bulkiness) and the one thing i have to say is: i dont know what im doing.
I wasnt able to put another keyboard that was easier to use,
i couldnt syncronize with my phone so that I could receive the notifications
I wasnt able to get it to recognize my sim card until one day later with it inserted
I wasnt able to get it to respond to my "ok google".
the google voice command that people told me to install receive my commands in portuguese but only obeys if they in english (?! wtf) so I can't really use it because it recognizes what i am saying in english as the closest word in portuguese there is...
I wasnt able to do voice-to-text writing even tho it came with the device settings.....
realsed only just now that there practically no apps for this particular smart watch that really is fitted for it.
all of the apps for smart watches on the play store are for Android Wear watches and dont work on it, because this is an Android 5.1 especifically made for this product...
I'm just lost as, on top of all that, all the content I find on the internet to educate myself is in english and in technical jargon
Very frustrated!
Lemfo Lem4 Pedometer
Hi,
I have an issue with my Lemfo Lem4 Pro, which is pedometer functionality.
With embedded watchfaces very often pedometer counter resets to 0, rarerly allowing to count more than 1000 steps. This is annoying
Additional applications for counting steps installed work properly and count.
Any ideas?
Have you tried this launcher? Works ok on the Lem4 Pro.

I still prefer the Google Launcher though.

Seems to be a round watch launcher. The LEMFO in this forum is the square one.
Does it need rooting?
Yes it works perfectly for the 640x320 screen of the LEM4 Pro without any adjustments. I'm testing that launcher now and am very impressed so far. It seems to be popular with fans of the watch.

Replacement Charger Cable
I have the LEMFO LEM4 Pro and my charger has been damaged and will not charge my watch. The wires have separated near the magnetic connector. Would anybody know where I could get a replacement charger for my LEM4 Pro?

Check AliExpress. Make sure you double check the style of charger. Some are curved like the Lem6 / Lem5

Hey, guys.
I've trouble with my smartwatch "Ticwatch E2" and think it's occur because wear os problem.
My watch is disconnect from bluetooth or even wifi randomly.
I've tried restart ,reset watch or reinstall latest wear os on my phone (Galasy S9) but problem still occur.
I've noticed this problem occur when I've enter game or open many apps on my phone. (I suggest it's battery saving feature on android oreo) Could it be the reason? If so, How could I shut it down even its drain my battery? (I've checked my app list and it has already shown "exemp")
Anyway, I've searched for any solution but have not found permanent solution yet.
Could anyone can help me for this problem?
Thank you for every comments
You're not alone, I have tried everything, I even flashed Lineage OS 16 on my Mi 5s Plus, this is supposed to fix that issue but no change I have a Moto 360 Gen. 2.
Help!
Hy, I have redmi note 7, it is not pairing with my smart watch (ticwatch e2), my watch is pairing with other cellphones like ( iPhone and Motorola) but not with xiaomi redmi phones I tried to pair it with redmi note 4 as well, kindly look into this

Does your disconnection also happen when opening some app? If yes, can you try to repeat if that is reproduceable consistently?

What is the ROM at Redmi Note 7 or 4? If you are using custom ROM, there might some extra restriction preventing it from pairing. Example is LineageOS privacy guard, if this is enabled for the wear os app, you can't pair it properly. You have to exclude it. I use RR pie, which has LOS privacy guard too, have no problem with pairing, since I exclude it.
I have just got rid of my s9 to get the 6t and now I cant seem to get the galaxy wearable app on my 6t to see my watch.. seeing as they are pretty much exact same chipsets.. is it some in the build.prop I can edit to get it to work?
Not sure about editing the build.prop but I have the Gear Fit 2 Pro and the Gear S3 Frontier both connected to my 6T. I found that sometimes the app is kind of finicky to get connected and I will have to turn Bluetooth off and on again, sometimes a couple of times to get connected the first time. Also keep the screen on your phone on to see if there is a popup to connect. Maybe even cycle the watch off and back on also along with the phone if all else fails. I was ready to give up at one point and it all the sudden connected. If none of that works I'm not sure what else to try but maybe someone else will have some ideas.

Along with the Galaxy Wearable app there is also a Gear S Plugin that needs to be installed. The first time I set up my Gear S3 Frontier the plugin was automatically installed but when I had to set my watch up a second time I had to manually install the plugin.

I have the gear S3 frontier and fit2 pro. I paired them with minimal issues. Did you reset your watch before trying to pair it?
I have an S3 Frontier, and every clean install ROM switch I have to reset the watch. I think they do it for security purposes? Unless someone knows something I don't, I've never found a way to reconnect the watch to a different device without resetting the watch. The backup of the watch puts everything right back once connected, but still kind of annoying (as it adds back in "removed" programs and such).
I have to use the MagiskHide Props Module to get all the correct things installed for my watch to work. However on a stock 6T it should just work. That module should only come into play on a rooted / unlocked device.
hello senior experts re telegram group and custom rom link
i am looking for stable raily om for samsung trite snapdragon. sm 910

the best so far aicp, however when powerd down with off button batt out in 3 days. ok if batt removed n put back.
I HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER FONE MI 11 LITE 5G .. IT HAS NO PERMENANT MISSED MESSAGE ALERT (allways on display/alert menu option no permenant)
PLEASE
PLS could expert give me a link to telegram group with stable working daily rom that can run modern apps
OR PLS could expert give me link on xda for a stable working rom that runs the essential modern apps
Or PLS could expert give me link to the most recent aicp that would power off properly
THANKYOU
Need big led for missed messages, (or ALLWAYS on display with alert ... headfone jack, ... exp sd card storage, ir camera bluetooth and rcan un modern apps...

louis.. you have the point exactly..... there seems to be no rom that makes the fone work relaiably, i dont care about features animation whatever, but fone bluetooth etc has to work reliably. "battery drains when fone off " so so so bad the rom cant be used like this. Ive bought 2 new 5g fones recently, the note 4 is way easier to use cause things like big led alert light. The latest missed message alert using aod on xiomi on many models only gives notification for 10 mins !! and 3rd party apps break on updates. please let me know and provide link if you find a note 4 snapdragon trite rom that makes the fone work reliably, and runs around android 9 so that modern apps like my soundbar setup will work.

louis, just so i understand, what exactly is the problem with getting a reliable stable rom, has something changed since android 9 aand 10 released, or did they never work properly? and is this a general rom problem, or is the 910f snapdragon difficult in some way? .. so if i load a custom rom onto my samsung ace 4 willi have the same problems, As said, for £150 can buy fab new 5g fone, but no permenant missed message alert led some no 3.5 jack , sd storage, infra red and of course removable battery. The most annoying is no PERMENANT missed message alert. Its difficult to find out if a particular fone have this or not from the helplines. (For others, the latest mi 11 lite 5g is max 10 mins aod, "permenant" does not exist on the settings menu. and 3rd party apps break on updates )
Actually, I am no expert so I don't what issues are there with new roms, but indeed they are not usable on a daily basis.
