[Samsung Gear S3] dhonzik:
I am very disappointed with the Samsung Barometer/Altimeter app, The barometer only registers in whole inches of mercury. All watches I had in the past, register in hundredths of inches of mercury. I wonder who else feels the same and would like Samsung to fix this error or maybe a developer could create a replacement app.

Edit: They finally updated the app and it shows the barometric pressure in 100th of a inch of mercury. Big thumbs up
[Samsung Gear S3] jrf1025:
I agree. Hopefully Samsung does address it. Meanwhile I found a free app called "FBarometer." Just search/install via Gear app. Seems pretty accurate, doesn't register in hundredths but does do tenths so a step up from wholes inches at least.
[Samsung Gear S3] fgr:
I have a feeling Samsung rushed to get this watch out (obviously, everythings backordered now it seems).

I have a feeling there will be many updates in the near future. At least I hope so.
[Samsung Gear S3] TheNatclanwy:
If you touch the barometer to display the trend look at the outside ring, the barometric pressure is displayed gauge style with a red dash marking the pressure and the units are to the hundreds place. It's still not great but you can at least tell the difference between 28.5 and 29.
[Samsung Gear S3] jb.traveller:
I live 77m above sea level and my watch shows -97m, a bit out me thinks.
[Samsung Gear S3] blackspp:
Barometer and altimeter are useless. I live between - 90 and plus 154 meters, in Amsterdam which is - 3. Consequently also the floor counter is facked up.
[Samsung Gear S3] bagmanone:
You can use another very good app called Barometer & Altimeter. I use it when go mountain. I talked to author this app before download it. It was tested by a few climbers and created with help mathematicians and physicists. The measurement error is < 1%. It is better than my stock altimeter GPS-based. Very good app, absolutely worth buying.
[Samsung Gear S3] fastmike:
I totally agree! Looks like the sensors that Samsung has choosen are totally pieces of crap.

Altimeter: from my sofa 5m... couple of hours later 35m!!!

Barometer and heart rates are also giving vera random figures compare to 'real' hardware.

Samsung just wanted to show more features and be in line with competition but it does not work.

They better should have left very useful features that were present on previous model likre IR Remote that I had on my Gear 2 Neo!

I will never understand Samsung when they decide to replace features in place of add new features. Mainly when they remove very useful and working gears and replace those with unreliable sensors....

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Samsung Gear S3] Lakota:
You do realise that the altimeter is air pressure based right?

If the air pressure has changed during the two hours you were on the sofa then the altimeter will show a different reading.

That's the whole point of calibrating it before you set of on a climb or whatever you're up to.
[Samsung Gear S3] jb.traveller:
[MENTION=297460]Lakota[/MENTION]

Where is the setting screen, been through settings tried hold the screen nothing.
[Samsung Gear S3] Stormglider:
Tap on the widget and scroll right.
[Samsung Gear S3] jb.traveller:
Thanks Stormglider sorted.
[Samsung Gear S3] blackspp:
Yes it's barometric. And altitude jumps all over the place even when the pressure is constant. Eg walking up the stairs, 2 stories, results in a climb of -12 to +30 meters, should be - 3 to +4. And my daily run which is totally flat at - 3 shows 116 meter hills. It's true and authentic crap and I'm gonna replace for the Fenix 5 as soon as possible!
[Samsung Gear S3] jb.traveller:
Thats why shealth thinks i climbed 10 flights of stairs while just walking about for nine hours.
[Samsung Gear S3] fastmike:
To those who think that their Gear S3 sensors are any accurate, just try to disconnect your phone Position/GPS or to use the gear S3 alone. You will then see the truth about those very inaccurate sensors that Samsung has put in the Gear!

They are only 'providing' you with accurate figures when position/gps on your phone is on, in other words, the 'accurate' info you are seeing are provided by internet data, and not by the sensors themselves... Shame on Samsung for that!
[Samsung Gear S3] graylish:
i have the same issue. at 155 ft above sea level, but watch states between -150 and +435

it also only counts 1/10th of floors climbed
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
I don't get accurate floor counts but I know for a fact the gps works well without my phone. At least the golf app I use gives me accurate readings in standalone mode.
[Samsung Gear S3] HussainAkbar:
Same here. I stood outside under a clear sky around 30m above sea level. Tried calibrating thrice but each time it says -7M.
[Samsung Gear S3] ZEUSSkydive:
Skydiving

I have used the S3 Frontier when I skydive along with my Viso II Digital Altimeter and they are within 25-50ft of each other. This is without the phone. It is actually pretty accurate. I do not use the built in app. I use one from the store called Skydiver Altimeter. It works great.
[Samsung Gear S3] Zeblade:
Well no clue about others.. but just got mine and comparing with two others one ming Suunto and its like some others pretty darn accurate. Just going up a few feet.. was spot on. I wonder if like the phone you need to reset it at now and again.
[Samsung Gear S3] konvalink:
I agree, internal app is not so good. But what is important for you?

Is it current altitude at home? Altitude in the office? OK, I understand, but it is number, which you can easily read form map.

For me, it is more interesting, how many meters did you do up/down in specified time. If so, try my free app Elevation tracker - https://xdaforums.com/gear-s3/themes/app-elevation-tracker-gear-app-store-t3635451

It has implemented algorithm of polishing altitude, so small changes of pressure (like at home in bed during night) are ignored.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] yodalf:
Hello again,

Again I post here because I am denied posting in the correct spot. I suppose this silly denial will end, eventually.

I have a question for [MENTION=4551757]Silesh.Nair[/MENTION] :

In the dev thread, you tell somebody that he can build CM14.1 from source himself, using that guide:

http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763

In a further post, you seem to indicate that the Moto G4 Plus build is obtained direct from the CM source repo.

I found that github repo for CM on the moto G4: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_athene

Unfortunately, the latest tag is marked CM 13 ... and there is nowhere to find the BSP files for CM 14.1.

Now, since it seems quite evident to you, but not at all for me, could you please kindly tell us where we can obtain the BSP files (device tree, vendor, kernel) for CM14.1 - Athene?

Thank you for your understanding my confusion.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Silesh.Nair:
You cannot post on a dev forum till you get to 10 posts.

You obviously cannot build cm14.1 using the device tree in cm github.

You have to sync the sources and add your device, vendor and kernel repos from here in your local manifest file.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] yodalf:
Thank you

Thank you for this snippet of information. I will look further into it.

In the world of embedded systems, when you have a generic operating system that can be used with many different hardware targets, a Board Support Package ("BSP") is the set of files that are required to build the generic OS on a specific target. For example here the BSP is all the files that are specific for the Moto G4/Plus (e.g. device tree, vendor, kernel), once you have a generic CM 14.1 distribution to start with. "BSP" refers to all the target-specific files that would not be the same on another target (i.e. a different phone).

I think this nomenclature is quite appropriate for the subject at hand.

[Sony Xperia L] Japamala:
Install TWRP, and format the SDcard using that.

edit your permission first on system/etc/platform.xml then find

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

</permission>

add this before </permission>

<group gid="media_rw" />

until it become like this

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

Save and exit .

move platform.xml.bak for the backup files

Reboot your phone and check again your platform.xml ,

it's work for Kitkat and above.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theborkz:
My 6p's Wi-Fi just stopped working all together 3 or 4 months ago. Every other network feature seems to work completely fine except for the Wi-Fi just completely unable to locate a network every other device works fine with. I've tried everything: Restoring backups that worked, mixing and matching vendor images and ROMs/Kernels and flashing OTA and factory images over fastboot. I've reset my router/access points and device, tried it at other people's houses, ad hoc hotspots (It doesn't seem to be able to produce a hotspot itself either), etc.. I was flashing everything from factory images manually save to not lose my internal storage but I just ran a full flash-all with the latest factory image, 7.0.0 (NBD91K, Nov 2016) and of course nothing's changed.

I sold leave this info as well, it may have some clues. I've had the 6p since April when I promptly unlocked and rooted it off the bat, trying out and fully switching to the latest ROMs/Kernels relatively often unless updating the vendor image though TWRP. Everything was working fine until at some point around August when I started having issues staying connected to an access point, but I had similar issues with my Nexus 10 and realized it was the hodgepodge of extenders, access points, and home automation stud my dad had been adding to the network without configuring anything properly. I got rid of all the random devices and set up the fios MoCA access points and configured them properly. This fixed the issue for other devices but now my 6p was crashing quite often, I think mostly when it would hand off to the different access points on the same SSID. I figured it was because it was the only AC client, but soon after I wound up here where it just entirety ceased to work.

I'm at a complete loss at this point, I can't find anyone with an issue to this extent. Am I completely missing something or doing something totally wrong? Is it possible I've bricked just that partition or something? Or could there be a hardware malfunction? I was pretty certain it was my fault until now so I'll can up Google tomorrow and hound them but if anyone has the slightest idea or suggestion it would be extremely appreciated. Thanks for any help In advance.

TL;DR: Nexus 6p somewhat randomly stopped detecting, connecting, or otherwise to any perfectly functioning Wi-Fi even after restores and wipe+flashing latest factory images.

I installed the nougat but then realized that i dont have stock apps in my phone, so by mistakely tried to install TWRP for 6.0 Marshmallow and my problem started here.

Now my phone can not boot. its stuck in Phone is booting now ( the screen when you unlock bootloader after huawei logo) , and its never booting. it stays like that.

I tried to flash rboot.img , recovery.img and System.Img from fast boot. but whenever im trying to flash system.img after boot and recovery.img, a get an error and never succeeded to flash system.img. Im trying to flash these .img files from L19C636b180.

Can you please help me or give me some advice because none of mobile services couldnt fix and flash new software. maybe because they dont know exactly what should they do. and in my country i couldnt find anyofficial huawei service provider.

Hello

I have a problem with my acer a700.

It doesn't boot at all, it was ok before. It was on CM10.

Last thing i did was formating through recovery, then I did a restore from an old backup I had through recovery also.

But in the process of restoration it took too long on restoring cache and i mean too long so i shut it down by holding power button, then booted back to recovery but it it started acting strange didn't want to reset/format or restore at all.

Then all of sudden it turned off.

I thought of the battery but i inspected and it's charged.

Now it doesn't boot at all no light no vibration nothing, tried booting recovery and fastboot nothing and the reset button doesn't do anything.

Any ideas what to do? I have a small knowledge in electronics i can take it apart and test using a volt meter.

Any help?
