Android Color App

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Shall we make this a poll perhaps?

What do you think ?

[suzzlo]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I will prefere to have both options (configurable) but my vote will go to white

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Shall we make this a feature request?
Or an issue and wait till it’s aligned.

IMHO adding an exception for Android only to have black and white would then furstrate iOS users no?

@klunzinger I’m not code guy but the colour is not all. To have black for amoled there has to be coding changed. I’m not saying it’s easy or hard, just worth mentioning. My battery app has black theme but in options I got 2 types: adopted to amoled (where black pixels are off) or standard (where black background illuminates).

Apart from the discussion between black and white, I think the App should reflect the colors that Suunto has implemented so well in the Spartan model. In my opinion, the App is very monotonous and that difficult to differentiate between different sport modes and features within the App (ascents and descents values, heart rate, rhythm acceleration…)

Totally agree, and this is one of the most voted feature request: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/287/unified-product-movescount-looks-and-features

My vote goes for “black/white theme selection on the settings menu”. Its quite frequent on some other Android apps.

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos But is the current SA app UI in any way representative of what the released app will ultimately look like?

I’m sure weeks ago I read it (Android version) just looks very identical to SportsTracker only temporarily as there was a fork from a common code base, and an all new SA UI would follow at some point? (And it seems that’s the case, as some of the ‘over and above’ functionality compared to SportsTracker looks odd…like glued on!)

I’ve refrained from commenting on any thoughts on look and feel for this reason.

Yes new UI is under works

Hi guys,

any news regarding the possibility to change the background color in the app?
For now it’s white and I liked the black one more and would like to have it back
Would be great, if there will be the possibility in the settings to change it based on the user preferenes.

Thanks a lot!

@danielajobova lets see what we can do with the new android Q

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Also the force dark mode on android q kinda works

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

What watch is connected on your SA?

[zhang965]

@Mi_chael looks like s5

[Mi_chael]

@zhang965

Oui, ça a l’air. (Malheureusement)

[zhang965]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos how could you do 7 hours sport? that’s impossible, 3 hours for me it’s already A LOT,

and 7 hours sport only with 2787 steps? rolling in the deep?

but I can easily beat you on sleep time,

In a week ?
Well, of course, if you sleep half a day
Professional sleeper

Always off, to spare batteries. It will reach a year with a single charge

@sartoric

I could create a sport mode with specified intensity zone for example 40 45 50 55 60 I wonder if my s9 will give me a pte 5 next morning
