Well guys, I have a short tip to solve that common problem on the SW2 (as far as I read). I have only tried it on my smartphone, but it worked and you could try just in case. You´ll need root for this. Don't worry, if it doesn't work for you, you can go back to normal easily.
In my case, my phone killed the smartwatch service and then it "revived". So I put the Low Memory Killer (LKM) (not sure if is that the English name, in Spanish it's called "Prefijos de Limpieza de Memoria") into a lower value that it had (depends of the phone). After that, my disconnections problems disappeared
To change it, I recommend use Kernel Adiutor, an awesome kernel tweaker.
I hope this works for you. Tell me your results. Peace
I think this do not happen on modern phone with 1 Go or 2 Go memory.

This is interesting and I would like to try it. Which low memory killer value did you change? I assume you changed 'hidden applications' but I thought I would check.
Thanks,

But yeah, the smartwatch service is just that, a hidden app, so if you just want to change hidden applications it should be enough.
I would change empty apps a little too because when the smartwatch isn't doing anything, my phone thought the service was one. (?)

Thanks, I have Kernel Audiutor as part of my ROM anyway so it is easy to do. I was thinking of playing around with the LMK after reading your post, which preset profile did you finally choose? I actually use two Smartwatches:
An SW2 is attached to the handle bars of my motorcycle for a variety of reasons
I sometimes wear a Cogito Classic
I have many more problems with random disconnects with the Cogito than the SW2 but I will play around.
I also have the canonical problem of the phone randomly disconnecting from my car's Bluetooth and this could be the cure for that ill as well. Of course, it is very difficult to prove the absence of a problem like that.
Thanks again,
Fred

Out of curiosity I quickly put together Wear GPS test app.
It uses build-in GPS only! (Doesn't matter if you connected or disconnected)
Huge thanks to satstat [email protected] https://github.com/mvglasow/satstat for the implementation of SNR and Gps position views.
Install it on your phone and it will sync mobile app. Phone app is solely for installation/uninstallation.
Please let me know how your gps behaves. Mine is really strange - sometimes will fix quickly at home and sometimes outside just jumps between 11/20 to 0/20 to 4/20 to 12/20 withing 5 secs
I guess this attributes to zigzaging track.
Operation - Scroll face right to get into Sat positions view and then left to get back, Long press to exit.

P.S. DOP/HDOP and VDOP are not populated right now.
Changelog:
0.2 Added reset and request AGPS, tho have no idea if it works w/o direct internet connection, also added simple status screen by request
0.1 Initial release
Cool! nice app!
BTW, speaking of jumps, look at the graphs for pace I got with "my tracks" during my last test. As you can see there are a lot of times when the gps signal is lost. This does not happen when I use my tracks in my nexus 5.
This is cool. maybe you could give Runtastic and Endomodo some tips. I haven't found a running app that works with the native GPS yet, they all seem to only work if the phone is tethered to the watch during a run.
didnt find a fitting thread but you look like haveing a plan bout gps...
Im more paranoid user and was wondering, if I turn the gps of my phone, does this also entirely disable the gps module of my smartwatch?
And if the answer is "no" how can this total disable of gps be acchieved?
It looks to work fine on my SWR50.
What I'm missing is a page with ALTITUDE, BEARING, DOP, SATS written in BIG, since on the 1st screen is VERY very difficult to read while you are moving (too small text).
Can you?

FANTASTIC: great job.
Maybe fonts size could be even bigger in page 3.
Thanks a lot: bravo!
great app!
font sice could be a littel bit greater, and is it show the satellites number?
the app itself works like a charm, except if i do a screenshot at the android wear manager, the app closes - but that happens with ervery app if i try to make a screenshot.
my swr50 has no hopping at all, just the altitude is too high (approx. 40 meters), but that is even the case if i open the developer menue.
Altitude is what GPS reports, but it is not reliable at low altitudes, better on a plane.
With app closure it is wear 5.0 feature I believe, but I plan to implement persistent notification in app closure. Once i find some free time - I'll do it...
Bumping an old thread, but still relevant at least ; loaded it on to my new SW3, and seems to work great. Only complaint of course is can't do the swipe to close; not the end of the world, but would be a good future improvement.
Still, thanks for the work!
When a 0.3 release?
Here's another GPS software from GhostRacer developer:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...d=com.bravetheskies.gpstest&rdot=1&feature=md

This is the most annoying issue on this phone. It happens seldom, and the only solution is to restart, but sometimes it doesn't work at all.
I can't find a trigger to it, as I open the same apps each morning in the same order: endomondo, sports-tracker, biko and strava. All of them use the GPS and usually work ok. But suddenly, last week GPS dated started to malfunction and first no satellites in view, then after reboot the problem on the screenshot arises: many satellites in view but no fix.
I tried GPS test and GPS status apps to clear GPS cache, but it doesn't work at all. But sometimes just opening this apps kind of "un jams" the GPS and it gets a fix.
Any idea if this is an Android issue, a Huawei problem and if there is a solution to it?

Bad news, it's back again.
It's not even cloudy.
I've noticed it happens more often in the mornings, at night GPS locks almost immediately. Also, a reboot fixes it most of the times. It has to be something related to system. But what?

Hmmm, i still get problems with the speed but not as badly as i used too, i always leave my gps on so its a warm start, it can take up to 4 mins to download the catalogs from the sats with a cold start, i am afraid the gps will never be perfect ob this phone the best thing is tp try to manage it as best you can, leave it on with gps test and let it download all the catalogs, this will take about 15 mins then always keep gps on, this will help it retain the catalogs, it wont use much battery mine doesnt, this will reduce the lock time, i would also change the setting to autonomous in the setting instead of network assisted and try that.

Just replaced the screen on my z1c and the touch screen is not working properly.
I cannot type q,a caps and num. and all letters are about 5mm out of alignment when touched. I'm running pac 5.1 and this is the second screen I've tried with same outcome.
Is there a screen touch calibrator or something or is the phone stuffed?
BUMP!
Exactly the same issue ... replaced my screen 10 minutes ago. Did the test and could not clear the test picture. about 7mm untouchable on the entire left hand side.
I have the exact same problem, did anyone find a solution?

Rooting doesn't bite you know. You can always get rid of it if it doesn't work but maybe you find other benefits that rooting gives.

I know, but my priority right now is to get the screen fixed/ calibrated, and I'm not sure rooting will help with that. That is unless someone can say for sure that rooting and using the app will fix it.
I tried both those apps and made no difference to screen touch.My screen touch is still about 5mm out and about 1cm of left side will not work. I have tried 3 different screens now.

Hi so I gave a new MI 4 band to my dad, and he's complaining that the font size of the HR value is very small in the stock faces.
I tried using Amazapp on my iphone to download a new face but the face was not working on the latest firmware updated today (1.0.6.16).
Is there any way I can get a face with a bold HR and time only? Thanks in advance!

Send me a bin file or URL of WF which you like the most and I can try to update it.
Ok thanks! I'll look but I only want a face with Time, HR rate both in large font size. Rest I don't want.

Just a proof of concept - I removed everything and kept just time and HR. It works fine with 1.0.6.16 FW.
I'm sorry but don't have an iPhone, so can't advise how to upload custom WFs to the Mi Band.

Wow! that's amazing thanks! I'll try both tomorrow and revert back! Thanks again! Really appreciate it.
If it works I can shuffle things around / use different font, or you can do it yourself, there is a very nice GUI tool for WF creation and simple WFs are very easy to do. [emoji846]

Ok thanks so much things worked all the faces worked! The only thing is I'm re-purchasing the band as I returned my first one as it was not counting steps accurately. BTW any way to make step counts accurate? Thanks!

I find steps counter pretty accurate, online reviews and tests confirm that it's very accurate too, especially during continuous walking/running. Was your band over or under counting? What was the difference to the real number of steps? Please don't forget that the band will ignore short walks (less than 10 steps), so even if you make many short walks, they most probably won't be counted.
Once I had an issue with Mi Band 2 - after completely depleting the battery (forgotten in a drawer) it started absurd over counting, one real step showed as 10 or so. When I did another complete drain until "dead"/charge cycle, it got fixed. Probably not applicable to Mi Band 4 as it can be rebooted unlike Mi Band 2, but who knows..
Hi, im from Argentina so sorry with my english.
I was looking random things about my phone and randomly i found a Youtube video where Android 12 is running in a Moto G30, the video is from Bosnia so i had to use the google translator and says "The local Motorola agency offered us this phone to show Android 12"
This is the video

I'm using it cause... "auto upgrade"...
And all in all I'm ok with it but I'm experiencing one "bug" (see down below). Colors might be more saturated than before, but it's ok for me and it doesn't "hurt my eyes" as some describe it. I'm using the "natural" display mode and the display warmth slider is in the middle.
I read through the linked article a bit but it seams like the experience is very subjective or not all users experience this phenomenon or at least not as bad / strong.
-------
Since my upgrade to Android 12 I'm experiencing one quite annoying bug.
Background:
I'm using my device with the work profile to keep annoying apps at bay.
Using "Shelter" app.
Using "Aurora Store" in work profile to install apps.
No factory reset was performed since upgrade.
Not rooted.
Problem:
Since the upgrade to Android 12 I'm experiencing an quite annoying bug. Using the "phone" app (private profile) I have no sound and microphone sometimes. So I can't hear and can't be heard. If I'm activating the work profile and use the "phone" app (again from private profile) I suddenly have sound and microphone.
Fix / workaround:
Activate the work profile.
Another way to "fix" this problem is to reboot the phone.
After reboot it works for an undefined time. I haven't tested if the problem starts after using work profile and deactivating it again. I'm testing it and I'll try to not forget to post an update for others.
FYI:
If sound from other apps does work, wasn't tested until now. If you need to call you normally have no time for testing, so reboot it was for me.
Tested solutions:
Tested some general "solutions" from REDDIT & Co.
Editing settings in "Sound & vibration" -> "Audio effects": recommended -> "activate Dolby ATMOS". Phone doesn't have that so i resetted the setting (after tapping "Audio effects" tap "Settings" at the bottom then tap 3 dot menu and tap "Reset")
- DIDN'T WORK
Suggestion: it's a carrier problem
Set network selection to manual and select your corresponding network.
- DIDN'T WORK
Deactivate or activate "Wi-Fi calling". (mine was activated so I deactivated it)
- DIDN'T WORK
Enable or disable "VoLTE". (mine was activated so I deactivated it)
- DIDN'T WORK
My questions:
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Has anyone found a solution?
Thanks
