Does anyone use a GPS logging app? Do they output any type of useful stuff that might prove I was at a certain point at a certain time?
I'll explain: Pennsylvania has a new "Toll by Plate" system. I think it's a scam. Instead of paying a toll you just drive through. It snaps a picture of your license, then snaps a picture when you get off and sends a bill in the mail.
I got a bill for $6.35 or something. No problem. I knew about it. I was with a friend.
But another one? I went to Microcenter after work one day to pick up a Raspberry Pi 3. it's an hour drive for me.. I'm in New Jersey. Drive all the way there.. no problem.. today I get a bill in the mail for $30.05!! My little $25 RPI3 turned into a $50+ thing with this toll.
Anyway, I know the software can't help me now, but maybe in the future it'd be good to have. I can go into Google Maps and see my history, but it's not detailed. It's only that I left work and went to Microcenter, tacos, and home. Not to prove where I got on the Turnpike.
I use GPS logger on Android and it does all that. I use it to log trails on the 4500 acres we ride and hunt on.

i happily used GPS logger developed by Mendhak previously on my samsung Note3
but later i had a problem on P9 plus vie29-c185b360 android 7 that if i close screen or unplug phone form charger the GPS logger app will be stopped even if i add the app to the protected apps ( Huawei protected app means that it will be keept running in backgroud )
the only thing i tested and working is rollback to android MM and root my device with srk tool then disable the power genie app by renaming the app then restarted the device
the solution i found on the following post :

Hi,
I really have bad luck with my Polar M600. I bought the watch as soon as it was available. Well, first one was defective out of the box (random crashes, hangs). Got a replacement. Second one - not water resistant, defective case. Died as soon as I used it for swimming metrics. Now, third one (already got the update to Wear 2.0) will not get a GPS signal anymore. Tried everything I could think of, factory reset etc, checked settings and permissions - the watch will never get a GPS signal. Any ideas on what to try out before I return it a third time?
Go into your phone app sport profiles ans activate the gps there
I wouldn't return it. I got one that had great gps for months, and now I have the same issue you're experiencing. I'm extremely sure that the issue is due to the latest wear update. I'll post if I hear any news or find a workaround.
I do have to vent some frustration if there's a polar/google employee reading this. I HATE THIS STUPID INTERNET CONNECTED CONTSTANT UPDATING. I'm a serious runner and bought the watch not knowing it had android wear, I don't mind the features but ensuring that the watch can perform it's basic purpose as a sports tracker should be the highest priority.
Same here... My m600 was working nicely with Android wear 1.x... And then Android wear 2.0 was released and the now the gps rarely works!! They could have tested the update before rolling it out!!
I've had it for a couple of weeks now - unfortunetely Xiaomi decided to start over with the software for the Mi Watch line, which doesn't seem to be as open as the Mi Band and Amazfit lines. Still a lot of watch for the money...
Had to find the Mi Wear android app on Xiaomis app store or a mirror, as it wasn't available to me in google play
Most of the app is in english, and it easily found and connected to the watch
New firmware installed in 10 minutes after first connect (needed for english on the watch)
Switching the watch to english was easy
Always on display is nice
Starting tracking from the watch was fast
GPS locking take 2-5 minutes when in the city. 1 minute in the country side
App seems to be okay to navigate
App sync fast and doesn't seem to have problems connecting to the app
App doesn't seem to use to much battery
Translations could be better (distance is called "Mileage (Km)" which is just silly)
The Stress and body resource seems to be working great (same First Beat method as my garmin)
I need to test sleep more, but it seems better then garmin (who is not using first beats sleep feature), and hopefully on par with fitbit
The map display the app seems broken, the route is there, but no map, unless I zoom to display a huge area (like 100x100km)
It's not possible to manually add or edit any training data (in the app or on the watch)
It doesn't register naps
It have an auto max-heart-rate option, but it's doesn't seem to adjust it self. Mine is higher then the 175 suggested, which means it thinks I'm stressed all the time
Doesn't seem to be able to connect to any other fitness apps (like google fit, endomondo or strava)
It calls the watch "Mi Watch Revolve" (maybe it's just the translation)
There's a Chinese forum for it, that can sort of be read using google translate
I've had one instance of the always-on-display not updating (woke up at 7 and it said it was 5:50, until I turned it on)
heart-rate graphs are often empty in the app
There's no auto-detect exercise (like it will detect you are taking a walk), which I miss more then I expected
There was a new version the app release yesterday that didn't have any useful fixes for me, and the new firmware only seems to have swimming added, from what I can see in the forum
Can you turn off the bluetooth? When you do not use it with smartphone? Thanks.
Does the latest phone software version work for you? when i install it it doesnt show me the option to pair the watch color or revolve, had to roll back. New watch firmware is fine though.
My experience is pretty positive, sometimes takes a while to sync data into the app (well, sync seems fast enohgh, but not all data is showing in the app immediately, takes a minute or 2, especially sleep and heart. )
Would have been nice to link up to strava or something, but hard to beat the battery life of the thing. Only take it off for a shower and charge then, and its keeping up just fine.
p.s.: in the stress app it mentions that activities are not counted towards stress, but you have to manually start those.

I m confused with Xiaomi Mi watches. Do you mean this model?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/313413751270?ul_noapp=true
The new Xiaomi Mi watch should be a candidate for Linux Asteroid OS:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/asteroidos-1-0-released.3791430/
Is it the one which can be bought on ebay?
Not seeing much on here about this watch so I thought I would start a new thread just for it! Who has one on their wrist? Tell us what you think. It is high on my list for my next Smartwatch.

I've had one for several weeks. Absolutely love it. I've had several other Mobvoi watches, but this is the best of them all. I'm getting close to 3 days battery life with all sensors turned on, using the secondary display. I'm able to sleep with it on to use the TicSleep app. Play Store loads quickly on it, and runs smoothly. If I get a call while wearing my ear buds, the call comes in simultaneously on my phone, my buds, and the watch, giving me the option to pick which one to answer the call. No other watch has ever responded that quickly to calls. All in all, a great watch. Well worth the expense.

Mine is supposed to show up this Friday. Can't wait! I'm using an Amazfit Pace so I expect a huge improvement. Still, my Pace that I use since 2 years does a fine job.
Ticwatch Pro 3 gps
Just received my Ticwatch Pro 3 gps and loving it so far. Took 20 days for delivery, what they didn't mentioned when ordering, they stated 4 to 6 days from ordering, but ok. On the Mobvoi forum, i have read some disturbing post on the watch and poor customer service from Mobvoi. But isn't that with all forums, you just only complain if something is wrong, not if everything works ok. Well have fun with the watch!
Hello.
I hope for a few opinions from the owners of the watch, which are a consequence of yesterday's software update?
Been using mine for a month. This is what a wearos watch should have always been. Great batt life, fabulous display. Got a deal for $200 direct from mobvoi, pre ordered.
Sounds like a good wear os watch...
I pre-ordered this watch and have had it around 5 weeks now.
This is my first wearOS watch by choice. I waited for a processor that was half decent and that came with the Snapdragon Wear4100.
This watch lasts be between 2.5 to 3 days with me doing a GPS tracked walk every evening for around 1 hour, 24 hour heart rate monitoring, constantly connected via Bluetooth to my phone.
This watch also doesn't have the latest WearOS update that is supposed to improve app opening times etc but even without that, this watch is smooth and it doesn't feel like there are lags anywhere.
There isn't a custom ROM yet but if they come in time this watch would only get better.
In short, if you want a WearOS watch, this is a clear winner and overall great watch.

My watch arrived a few hours ago, delighted so far - but I'm unable to register on the Mobvoi site, no matter what I enter the page always gives the error "Please enter correct phone".

EDIT: and the answer is - you enter your email address in the field marked "Phone number" (!)
Just got mine today and it's a nice watch. My first one too. The announced endurance, récents update of the os, the price, the snapdragon and the two screens convince me to finally buy one. Waiting for a really good one since the firsts Lg watch. Hope it will work for a long.
Calls are clear, large choices of apps and themes.
I think I'll buy another bracelet and an protection glass. If anyone had one to recommend.
Fr customer.
It's been more than a week with the watch and I'm impressed with everything around it. Many applications and sensors for everything that interests us in everyday life. Responds quickly to everything, when receiving notifications and when making calls, the screen responds immediately without delay.
I got mine yetserday.. gods I missed the wearOS line.. so glad I'm past my Tizen device now.
Some questions though:
whats happened to the gestures?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WhKuklpQ9A
I dont seem to be able to do the "perform an action" "dip" Gesture anymore
Also where is the setting that "lights up" the grey screen? I don't seem to have that option
*Edit* Fixed this, had to turn OFF the "Tilt to Wake" to get the light up...
If i understand your question, this gestures are in Settings/ Gestures/ For navigation.
On another question for lighting in FTN screen, there is no option to change time to light.
We have option to disable the light on ftn screen, just set theater mode from quick buttons.
For light, set tilt to wake OFF.
What is for you dip gesture?

The "Dip" gesture let you dip your hand down to "open the notification"
and the reverse "lift" gesture to close the opened app (go back essentially)
These two dont seem to be on WearOS anymore
Hi, anyone got this issue?
I try to test the watch to less than 5%, but it doesn't automatically switch to essential mode. Anyone know what might be wrong? I have tried to set it in the essential mode apps but seems doesn't change a thing. Thanks
This must be the kernel source of this watch according to the official forum:

hart reset
does someone know, how to really hart reset the ticwatch pro 3 gps? I played around with these adb commands and the normal hart reset via system does not bring the whole system back. I would like to wipe out of a recovery modus ? I played around, because my battery time was incredible: just one day juice ... tried to deinstall the whole tic - system, but something went wrong, from now, I´ve got no sensor activities!
Thanks in advance

There are a lot of issues with the sensors at the moment, including myself after the latest firmware;
Since i am a new user I cannot link to an external site. But:
h ttps://forum.mobvoi.com/viewtopic.php?p=74876#p74876
Pretty happy with mine but my only gripe is I'm not getting notifications for the Messenger app. And searching for the app in play store on the watch comes up with nothing.
Anyone else having the same problem?

I have TWP model 2019 and TWP 3. Activating a watch with Redmi Note 8T is a horror. When successful, the watch does not work as a handsfree. After attempting to make a telephone connection from the watch, the BT pairing is canceled and he must reset both the watch and the phone to reconnect it. Various discussions suggest that this is a common problem. Does anyone know the solution?
Hello.
I've had the Galaxy S5 for a while now (5 years), and while it is not my main device at this stage, I still keep it around as a backup phone.
On Pie-based ROMs and earlier, the heart-rate monitor worked just fine, on Samsung Health it just required to download a little apk and it would function with no issues, and 3rd-party apps like Cardiograph would be able to use it with no issues.
However, it seems that in Android 10 and 11, the HRM can't be accessed at all. It is detected, Samsung Health shows the option, but the sensor just doesn't do anything. And in 3rd-party apps, it isn't even an option I can use. I only can use the flashlight and camera combo, which I really don't want to use.
Does anyone know why it doesn't work? Is it something to do with how 10 and up work? And can something be done about? Or will I have to remain on Pie?
