Hi!
Hope someone can inform me about the following:
I am considering buying this phone for running workouts, and was wondering how accurate the GPS is?
And when having a fix, does the GPS logging start right when you press start in your sports app?
Thanks in advance!
Dennis
Anyone? ?

Thanks for your reply!
Actually I intend to use Runkeeper.
Are you familiar with certain apps for GPS tracking on the Samsung A3?

Thanks for that very useful reply! Despite the original posters claims I was trying to gather the opinions of others before I installed the software on my phone.
Clearly you're either new to the internet or have so much money that you can risk your expensive phone by installing unreliable software.
I also use sportypal, whenever i have a time to go cycling, i always keep record on the track with it, and till now i haven't had a problem with it. Plus now there is a newer version 1.0.2.

what do you meen by data package?
This software is very easy to install, you can do it directly from http://www.sportypal.com, The application starts, acquires satellites connectivity, then you hit the “Start” button when you are ready to get moving. When you finish you need to connect to their web site to upload your exercize and that's it.

I believe he's asking if he needs the internet/data package from his carrier in order to use this. I believe the answer is no. The GPS in this software doesn't connect to the internet like google maps does.
Aha I understand, I was thinking about the same. The answer is no, you don't need internet/data package
Love this app, I have been using it as well.
thnks for this link. its a great s/w
Thanks looks good

Found a major flaw -- Greenify can kill the service. So, I suspect, can other task killers that work at the service level.

Thanks a lot, is your phone rooted? if yes, task killers can kill any service,seems no way to avoid. if not rooted, I have to do a deep investigating to see how to improve HI Lock App
thanks again
Hi guys sorry if this is a silly question but I am wondering if the accelerometer on the Sony Smartwatch 2 is activated on the default firmware. I know the Pebble's wasn't until the recent update. According to reading there definitely seems to be one: https://developer.sony.com/develop/wearables/smartwatch-2-apis/guides/hardware-specifications/ but I haven't found an application that actually uses it.
Is it possible to to use it to track your steps via the accelerometer without having to have the phone in your pocket (but obviously having to be within Bluetooth range)?
Unless perhaps my accelerometer on my specific SW2 is broken.
Thanks in advance!
If you download the examples from Sony for developing for SW2, there is an axample app for the sensor.
Anyway the sensibility of the sensor only makes it suitable for detecting movement and turn on screen accordingly and no much more I guess
It's active. I know of 3 apps off the top of my head that use it. Yes, it can be used as a step counter. I know of one app that uses it for that, but it only works when the app is open.

Thanks for the reply. Could you tell me which app it is that counts steps?
According to the attached picture extracted from the Sony site there is definitely an accelerometer capable of being a pedometer. The app I have (walkmate) only counts my step with my phone in my pocket - i.e. it is only using the watch as a display and not a counter.

Hi guys,
I would like to know if there's a possibility to display the battery status of a connected Bluetooth device on the Oneplus 3? Natively or via a third party app? Ideally for me, it should work on the stock ROM but if necessary I would flash a custom one if it would only be possible that way.
Thanks in advance :good:

Hi
Check an app called BatON (by limitium)
Have not used it personally though.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work with my specific pair of headphones :/ If that means that they don't send battery information to the phone I probably can't get it to work with any solution.

Sorry to hear that.
FWIW after suggesting the app to you, I did try it out. It seemed to work with my pair of blue tooth headphones during the limited time I used it..
Going by the comments about the app in the play store, it looks like the usage is limited based on the manufacturer of the blue tooth device....
Just to close this topic: This feature was released in Open Beta 19 and for me it works great!
how to enable that??? by default its not showing when connected......... im on latest beta

How do you activate it? I have a watch connected and it's not showing anything
I didn't have to activate it. For me it just worked. Your Bluetooth device still has to support sending its battery information to the phone. In this months Open Beta update there were some fixes for this feature. Maybe it works for you now?
Edit: grammar

Hi thanx for replying. Yes it's a hardware feature and apparently its supported in the 7 series. We can actually do this with acc module and acca app.

Yes it works. Although I need a bit more time to test how much of a difference it makes and how well it works. Probably will update this weekend.
