Operation of Raremono / thanko / 1.8" (1.5") metal

[stefanb]

Hello,

I just found this forum after having goggled around the internet to find an solution on my problem with this watch.

The problem is a glitch or something in the connector (usb/headphone) wich make it impossible to start the watch with the phones (or anything really) fully connected to it.

If I try to start the watch with the phones plugged all the way in the screen just flicker a bit and then it dies. If a then disconnect the phones it all worked great again, but I cant hear anting because there is no phones plugged in

BUT, if I just plugg the phones in until the last notch (so that about 1 millimiter is not in) it works fine and the sond i great. But if I then dry to plugg it in all the way or disconnecting it (moving simply) the watch dies.

So, the must be som kind of glicth but I don't know how to fix it. Mabye it need to be insulated like Blaze did when he fixed the screen, or it's something else.

I'm not that good with thees things so any tip or help would be greatly appreciated!

(I hop my english didnt scare you away )

You will have to open it up to be sure, but it will probably work fine if you insulate it. IF you are good at working with electronics, you should be able to do it. If you are not comfortable taking something like this apart, you might want to send it back and let the factory fix or replace it.

Thanks for your respons!

I hve been testing this ting for a while now and I'm pretty sure that it's the insulat that needs to be fixed. Just have to buy som smal skrewdrivers tomorrow and we will get the answer

Yes, it was the insulation thas was the problem.

Has anyone manage to change the firmware? Or just maby the clockdisplay? I'd like something more stylish like http://www.dynamism.com/mp4-watch/main.shtml or something.

Well I ordered the 4G version on July 24th and they say it takes 6-12 days to process and then it will ship so I will have to keep my excitement in check for a little longer.

stefanb - I am with you on wanting to change the clock. It is not very exciting and I would love to find a way to jazz it up. Let us know if you find something.

Blaze - have you learned anything new or good ways to get the most out of the watch?

[ike075]

Well they really wait until the last day to ship my order. It is finally on its way. I will let you know when it arrives.

Anyone have an update on your findings so far?

This is the same watch I have and I tried to extract the firmware but s1fwx did not detect it. The mic sucks but everything else is fine. I bought a 4gb off of ebay for $125 (overall with s&h) but I really wanted to download a better theme since the one on it sucks. Any help?

Hi,
I own the 4 Gig version for some weeks.
Now I found out that the watch discharges itself during a few days without any usage of the display.
Can anybody confirm this?
Can this been solved by the insulating stripes as written and shown above?
Any hints are welcome.

I really like it but chargin every two or three days isn't the way I like to use it.

Thanks in advance and Shine On, Frank

I just got the 2GB watch i got it off EBay and it was working great though one day it stopped working. it doesn't turn on. please help

Is the watch fully charged? Does it switch the display on when connected to the wall charger or the USB port of a computer.

If not I would check the connections of the battery inside the watch by screwing out the four little screws, but be aware: the rubber seal is hard to reassable again.
Another failure source could be the micro switch of the on/off button or the mechanical contact of the button and the micro switch.

Btw.: Do you really just bought this model?
