with the altimeters my bad experience was about battery consumption
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.

@optics-field-test just scroll down. 3rd post is on the same page…

@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?
-
@egika sounds like a plan thanks
-
@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

@flypg thanks mate for the tip about Baro trend
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?
-
@optics-field-test You’re welcome!
Sorry that I can’t help you from here with ADB.
When you have your S7 connected and execute the:adb devicesYou 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. -
@optics-field-test Do you have an Android phone? There is a nice android app for side loading apps on a Wear OS watch.

@aeroild I have an iPhone but also have accessibility to an android phone. Please let me know how I would load the app to my watch using the android phone? Thanks
