v2.4 on Android - stopped counting again
Closed this issue · 13 comments
I'm on v2.4 on Android. It worked after the upgrade but suddenly stopped working today without my intervention.
I'm going back to stable 1.0.5 and will wait there until the 2.x matures.
Yup, same here
Also here. It collects only a few steps even on an hour long walk that usually yields like 5000 steps.

Same here. App wouldn't let me downgrade so had to back up db and uninstall first. Added in a couple hundred steps it missed since updating. Android 11.
I just re-upgraded from 1.0.5 to 2.4, but cannot get it to count more than a few steps. H/w counting not work at all. S/w is very unreliable no matter the sensitivity, even with number of steps before start counting set to 1. Going back to 1.0.5 again.
@Kamuno - is there any chance we could have beta version available via Play Store and / or F Droid in a way we can have both versions installed, side by side? I will be more than happy to test it on my mobile and report issues.
Right now every upgrade to 2.x and then rollback to 1.0.5 means a data loss for me. Thank you.

Apparently, operation is back to normal on my device.
Thanks!

Well, no.
Yesterday it counted 100 steps while I was on a walk and today it counted 4100 steps while the phone was on the desk. Strange.
I've had no luck since 1.0.5 either - that was super reliable. 2.2 didn't work at all and 2.4 isn't much better so I had to delete it.
I just now built and installed the latest version and did some trials. Accelerometer mode doesn't work at all, hardware counter works only while the app is active and visible, and stops working forever after that until it's forced-stop or re-installed.
I notice that 1.0.5 only has services/HardwareStepDetectorService but 2.4 uses services/HardwareStepCounterService which is very different. I suppose it's some logic to have it not run continuously but it looks pretty strange.
I just tried your application (version 2.4) and it won't count a single step. I tried every combination of settings that were possible with no change. The only thing it currently does is drain the battery quickly.
Based on earlier comments I managed to locate version 1.0.5. Did a quick test and it is counting steps and thus far seems very accurate.
I am currently using a Samsung SM-G965W which is running Android 9
I too have reverted to v1.0.5.
I my case, v2.4 behaves like this: I have Use phone's step counting hardware enabled. Let's say the steps start out being counted. Now, as soon as the phone locks, step counting stops. Then even after I unlock the phone, no new steps are counted; only when I tap the pause button at the top-right corner & then tap it (now a start button) again does it start counting again—until the phone locks... & rinse, lather, repeat.
Does this happen with the newest version 3.0.1 still?
