Posted at 2023-05-06 by HughB Thats interesting, which Pedometer widget are you using? It should work on either wrist. I will try a test with a Bangle on each wrist. Posted at 2023-05-06 by bb5 Today. Right hand and shopping: Posted at 2023-05-06 by HughB ok. Just been out and done 6000 steps, before getting back in the car. First 2000 steps, watch 1 on left, watch 2 on right - both within 100 steps Which firmware are you using ? Install the firmware clock_info and you can see it via the Lato clock. There was an issue with some Bangles having a DC offset but this was fixed a while ago. Unless you are on realy old firmware you should not see that issue. Are you saying you definitely only recorded 20 steps when looking at the step count in Lato (which uses the clock_info and reads direct from the step count I would not expect the GadgetBridge step count to reflect total steps unless you have been carrying round your phone all the time. See Posted at 2023-05-06 by bb5
There are many other quirks
So my conclusion for today is:
@Morning update Attachments: Posted at 2023-05-07 by bb5 So. Is there some kind of divider there maybe? Posted at 2023-05-07 by HughB Suugest a couple of thing.
See how that goes. Posted at 2023-05-07 by bb5
Strangely there is some of "movement" values stored there but I have to check if its somehow correlated. I will wipe everything now + add only Lato pedometer widget to check if anything different will happend. BTW. Is accelerometer responsible for counting steps? Or other sensor? Attachments: Posted at 2023-05-07 by HughB Your watch is not counting steps properly - it looks like something to do with the accelerometer. Yes the step counter works off the accelerometer data. So does the movement measurement. Movement is something different. I have not looked at the code for movement - but I it will get triggered for any movement where as the step counter is looking for a regular sequence of cycles that match the normal pattern and timing of walking. Also the changes in g force back and forth have to be above a certain threshold. The threshold is quite sensitive but we seem to have it right as its been about 1-2 years since anyone had a problem with step counting. I spent a lof of time testing the step counter to work out how to make it work so I'm probably an expert on it. Posted at 2023-05-07 by bb5 Where I can gather those logs? Posted at 2023-05-07 by HughB https://banglejs.com/apps/?id=accellog Posted at 2023-05-07 by HughB Just do a log of say 2 minutes normal walking or 500 steps. Posted at 2023-05-08 by bb5 @hughb Attachments: Posted at 2023-05-08 by user140377 I would more look into resetting the accelerometer (run until battery is empty or does a soft reset work?) instead of wiping the code. Posted at 2023-05-08 by bb5 Resetting the watch did the trick for HRM so I honestly will try everything as long as I don't have to return it (sphipping fee was mental) Posted at 2023-05-08 by user140377 Did you already try the 6s-button reboot? http://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2#resetting Posted at 2023-05-08 by bb5 Yup. No luck there. I think i also wiped it couple of times. Posted at 2023-05-08 by user140377 Don't know if Gordon has a better idea but I would suggest to run the Bangle until its battery is empty. You can speed it up under settings->util Posted at 2023-05-08 by bb5 No luck either. I will top up a bit and go for a walk to gather data. Posted at 2023-05-08 by bb5 @hughb
any advice? Posted at 2023-05-08 by HughB Unless a flatten the battery reset fixes it, it looks like a broken accelerometer. Step counters that only one axis tend to stop working in certain positions - eg one of the Garmin (£500) smartwatch wont count steps if you walk with sticks. Posted at 2023-05-08 by HughB You could always step sideways (sorry could not resist the image in my head). Posted at 2023-05-08 by bb5 I will flatten battery again. Previous attempt not helped as i wrote before. Posted at 2023-05-08 by HughB Did you try factory reset via the Settings / Utils menu for a full wipe ? Posted at 2023-05-08 by bb5
Yes.
I noticed when I realy hard shake watch in rythm it will count but no z axis activity sadly.
I imagined Quicksilver wall walk ;) Posted at 2023-05-09 by @gfwilliams Hi, Sorry to hear this - that's a really strange problem. I think this is very unlikely to be a software issue, and something up with the accelerometer itself - it's likely it has just got misconfigured somehow . You mentioned above you were going to try flattening the watch again - did you manage to give that a go? Make sure it completely turns off and wait several minutes before putting it on charge again. If the watch does need replacing it's probably best to contact us and we'll send one out free of charge - if Berrybase send one out they'll likely end up billing us for a full-price replacement. Posted at 2023-05-09 by bb5 Yeah. I run it flat, power it on to drain it once again and when it not even keep on for a seconds i left it for a 3 hours walk. Posted at 2023-05-11 by bb5 VICTORY! @gfwilliams @user140377 @hughb Posted at 2023-05-11 by HughB That is good news. Interesting that it can take 12 hours to totally drain residual power from the accelerometer. One to bear in mind in the future. Posted at 2023-05-12 by @gfwilliams That's great news! It's surprising it really did take that long though but I'm glad it wasn't a physical hardware issue after all that! Posted at 2023-05-12 by bb5 I believe that long is not necessary. I found that first tries even after draining, it still turn on for a minute after that. |

Hi. Just recently I had discovered that pedometer in my unit is in fact working but only for left hand.
I will try to flip the screen but as I got used to analog watches and my previous BIP I just wear it without it and it registers only like 1% or less
@edit
Looks like no help with left handed flip
