      @flypg Thanks pal, that’s a nice graph!

      How accurate is the auto switch between Baro/Alt?

      My Suunto Traverse takes about 13 minutes to move from Alti to Baro reading?

        So, from my point of view neither of them work fine.

        @rooldaa Didn’t accurate results?
        On baro apps I got good ones, for example now my National Weather Service display 1017.3 hPa for my city and I get 1017.6 hPa on the app, a logic difference. With altimeter I had similar results but with the altimeters my bad experience was about battery consumption. I uninstalled them and posted this thread just in case that we can get a great altimeter tile from Suunto like the recent additions of the HR, Sleep, etc.

        @Optics-field-Test You’re welcome!
        You mean about switch the altimeter source from GPS to Baro? Some apps use directly the barometer sensor information and others also are calibrated with baro + GPS.

        On my experience with the Storm Alarms, always I got false positives here, with the apps but also with S9B and A3P in their moment. But I repeat, with the apps that I tested for this, I got too much battery consumption until now. One advatage on S7 is that all of these app it’s on continue evolution and you can test one or other, and repeart the test few months after, perhaps the app that for me is great for you no, and viceversa.

          even with this one? it works pretty well in my opinion without depleting battery (~1…3%)

            @g-q yes, It is one of the ones I tried and I published here. Maybe I need to give a new chance testing this apps again because this was few months back. Thanks.

                @brad_olwin Thanks mate!

                Ordered my S7 and should have it tomorrow. Will report back once I install ABC app.

                Any tips to get best battery life?

                I am aiming to use it for the odd hikes on weekend and to check notification ie: text messages and ring doorbell

                Thanks

                                @flypg Thanks i found it however, I cannot install 1.16 apk.

                                The direr time I was doing it I got a prompt on the watch to always allow, I did that but then I realised that I typed in the command version 1.15apk. Oops

                                Since that nothing seem to work. My understanding is you place the apk file Inside the ADB folder anywhere ? Correct?

                                  @optics-field-test maybe it is a good idea to solve the adb issues directly in the xda developer forum?

                                      @flypg Hiho, I sent a message to XDA today to find out why I cannot install Alti-Baro on my S7 but received no response.

                                      I followed the instruction to the letter however when adding the last bit adb install Alti-Barometer 1.16apk I realised I typed in 1.15apk. Since this error, I always keep getting Apk not found under 😄

                                      I am using windows 10

                                      Any help would be appreciated

                                      Thanks

                                        @optics-field-test Hello!, it’s difficult to give support about ADB, but you need to add the correct path to your .apk file. It’s not complicated. If you like the easy way for the barometer you can use this directly from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tugberkakdogan.weartools

                                        PS- Correct path and filename

                                          With Alti/Baro I literally dropped the APK file inside the and folder and then followed the instruction

                                          Not sure where it’s going wrong?

                                            Sorry that I can’t help you from here with ADB.
                                            When you have your S7 connected and execute the:

                                            adb devices
                                            

                                            You could see your S7 listed?
                                            It’s a simple process, but if don’t understand at all what you do it, better not do it.
                                            And, know that installing apps with adb command it’s not always safe for your device.
