Hello
My moto 360 when not connected to my phone counts very well my steps (I can see it from the google fit watch face) but when it reconnects to my phone, google fit app erases data from my watch and only "believes" the steps count from my phone....
So when I do sport (without my phone of course) my steps are not taken into account which is really annoying!
Do you know how we can force google fit to use my watch data? Moto body steps count seems to be good but I can't see the counts information on my phone...
Am I the only one in this situation?
Thanks
Unfortunately you're experience is not isolated and there is no way to fix it yourself. It seems to have gotten worse over the past two Google Fit updates. At this point you'll need to wait for Google to fix the issue.
this has been the case ever since
personally, i've switched to using UP for my step tracking... give it a try, you might like it
Hello,
I have recently purchased a LG Nexus 5X, and I'm annoyed with the data usage of Google Play Serivces. It uses about 10MB per day, which is not terrible, but since my monthly FUP limit is 300MB, you can imagine it can be fairly annoying. With my old phone, which was a Xiaomi Redmi 1S, I sometimes, although very rarely, made it through the month without using up all of the FUP.
I have previously bought an LG G Flex 2, which I returned, after trying several factory data resets, because of this issue, and bought the Nexus. Now, the Nexus is having the very same problem, although it does not seem as bad.
I have changed no settings whatsoever, after switching from the Redmi 1S. I don't use Google Fit, but I do use Google Play Music and have Google Now enabled. But I had all of this enabled on the old phone as well. Is this something, that Android 5.0+ does (the Redmi has 4.4.4)? Is there any way around this? I cannot disable background data for Play Services, because I need the notifications. Is it maybe possible that there is something wrong with my Google Account, like some option that drains data a lot enabled? One of my friends has a G Flex 2 too, and as far as I could tell, he did not have this issue.
I am very grateful for any help on this matter, because I am running out of ideas. Thank you very much for any help I get.
Google Play services handles Google Cloud Messages which powers quite some services and applications.
You could use NetGuard to restrict internet access to Wi-Fi or when screen is on only.

Yes, I know it downloads data from quite a lot of applications. But it did this even when nothing, except the default apps was installed. I think it's downloading data in 6MB "batches". Is there really nothing I can do about it? Or is there at least a way to explain why it didn't happen on my Redmi 1S device?
In case you didn't know, the Note 7 unfortunately got recalled for a second time so I now am faced to choose a phone again and I am strongly considering the Pixel. However, I had a few questions that I cannot seem to find the answer to anywhere.
Regarding the camera:
- Does the Pixel have a flash for photos taken with the front camera?
When you take a picture on the Note 7 using the front camera, you see the screen turn a bright white to replicate a flash so if the Pixel had that it would be amazing.
- Does the Pixel have a live/motion photo setting which allows you to see the brief moments of what happened right before the picture was taken?
Regarding transferring data from an old device
- How would a Samsung user go about transferring data from their phone to the Pixel? Does the Pixel support Smartswitch?
Since I've been using Galaxy Notes for the past few years, I was able to backup data to my PC using their software, SmartSwitch, and then restoring the data on my new device. Since the Pixel is a non-Samsung device, I am not sure if SmartSwitch will be compatible with it. And since I have to return a defective Note 7 soon, I won't be able to transfer data from my Note 7 to the Pixel. I think the only option that I would have would be to transfer data from my PC to the Pixel.
If anybody would be able to answer either of my questions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
If you keep all your contacts as Google contacts, photos in Googles photo app, and utilize Google Drive to backup your photos to the cloud, and have the play store set to backup and restore your apps... There's not much left.
Login and password info for each app....maybe?

I believe it comes with some switching software. Here's the link to the video where they explain how it'll work.

My nephew just got a "new" Moto Z Play from the Verizon store for Christmas. However when he turned it on there were a bunch of contacts already loaded in the phone and since apps installed that don't seem like the usual Verizon bloat. Is there any way to determine if this phone is used?
Thanks

Back in the day (I'm talking early digital cell networks here) many devices had lifetime uptime clocks in them. That's what we used to use to determine this. Not sure if that even exists in Android though...
Is this his first Android phone? During the set up progress you can sign into your gmail and itll will restore any apps or contacts you have synced with your google account.
If the phone did not greet you with a set up progress and just went straight into the phone home screen then yes the phone has been used and has not been factory restored..
Id suggest dont do anything on it and bring it back if so.

Ok, here is my situation.
Backstory: I am a private investigator. I have had a LG G3 for about 2.5 years. I have used the G3 for investigative photos and video in that time, using the "Locked files" section of the gallery to store the confidential photos and videos. I had the vast majority of the content saved to the SD card when I locked the files.
Fast forward to about a month ago: The SD card slot on the G3 stopped working. X_x
The screen on the G3 started randomly cutting out a couple weeks later, so I decided to update the old phone to the new z2.
Seeing as I no longer have the ability to read the SD card on the G3, is there any app or desktop program, or a gallery app for the z2 that would allow me to access the locked files?
I have to be in court in 2 weeks with the photo evidence of this chick cheating on her husband, so he doesn't have to pay her a red cent in alimony.
I will also post this in the G3 forum as well (x-post)
If it requires a separate pin then you could find another g3 to borrow. If it encrypts the entire card, then it is tied too the phone.
Next time use a cloud service like Dropbox or Google photos to back them up automatically. The phone had to be disposable at any second without losing anything.
