      @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 šŸ˜„

                            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 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.

                                    @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

                                        @optics-field-test Try Wear Installer. I used it to install the Alti-barometer app on my Suunto 7.

                                          @aeroild thanks will give it a ago. I am assuming my watch also needs to be connected to the same android phone?
                                          Thanks

                                            @optics-field-test You need the app on both phone and watch and on the watch you need to be in the developer mode with ADB debugging enabled. I think the phone and watch connect via wifi. I don’t think the watch needs to be connected to the phone via the Wear OS app. Anyway, let’s hope it doesn’t need to.
