Can it be used as a 24/7 tracker? - LG Watch Urbane 2

Hello everyone.
I would really appreciate someone answering this because I am looking for a smartwatch for an elderly person. I want a 24/7 gps tracking.
So can it be used standalone without another phone? Is cerberus or google's find my device available on the app store?
Thanks!

Yes, it can be used as a standalone phone.
Yes, it has a GPS that can be use for "find my device" on your Google devices page.

Thanks! Bought it and so far I am satisfied!

I have no idea what you are asking? Are you asking how to install games from Google Play? You need a google account, set it up on your phone, then you can go into google play and search and download all you want (provided your space allows).

[Q] Reliable alternative to Google Play: is there any?

Hi to all,
I just landed at the Android world. The phone I got is a really really Chinese "Huaexl" (at least the name reminding the better known Huawei XL) not including Google Play as defaut app store. Since I did not find a reliable way to get the Google Play app (Google website does not allow to download it) I tried to install Google Play Service which does nothing else but crash.
Google Play has a certain credibility in my opinion. My problem now is that I want to find a "reliable" way to download apps in case there is no reliable way to install it.
At the moment I'm using 1Mobile Market and Aptoide just to download some utility (such as some hardware monitor or QR code scanner and other basic app) but I would never use such stores for example when it comes to install some banking app
So, to make it short:
would you suggest any "reliable" way to install Google Play or any "reliable" alteriative?
would you suggest me to replace the current Android version and istall another one including Google Play by default?
Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.
PD: what about replacing Android with Ubuntu Touch?
PD2: according to the hardware monitor apps that I installed, such phone should be an optacore, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM
PD3: dispite the camera options get till 13Mpx mode, the quality of the pictures is quite bad
You can download Google Play Store from Android Police

Thanks a lot. However, since I'm new in the Android world, I have never heard of Android Police. Could you please tell me more about them? I've been googling but found nothing about Android Police except what they themselves publish (blog, website, podcasts and so on).
Could you clean my doubts about their "realiability" ?
Sorry for insisting about this topic.
Thanks.
Regards.
Link already given for download. Android police is reliable source

Android Police is a well known blog and info site, loads of new info that's initially start off there and get spread. I can assure you that the website is very reliable. Nothing to worry about.

Ok, now I got your own opinion about it. Thanks a lot, that's a great start!
Is there any other reliable source talking about Android Police. For example any well known online newspaper or something?
Please try to understand my feelings. I want to be straight. Your feedback about your own personal feelings is important for me since I just don't know this world. My dubts will be completely cleaned (well, never be sure 100%) when I could see for example (just a stupid and unreal example) the New York Times telling about Android Police.
I mean, I wish a reliable source may have talked about it. Please tell me if any, I would really really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your understanding and your patience.

Unfortunately Google Play just crashes less than 1 second after launching it. Is there anything I could do?
Or shoud I just give up since it is impossible to install on phones not coming with it already installed by default, as I've been reading somewhere?
Thanks,
regards.

Gear S3 and Nike+ Run Club

Does someone of you has the Nike+ app running on his watch?
I'm not able to get the app working with the gear s3, just as stand alone on the phone.
Many thanks for you help.
/Pallett
Afraid it was pulled a while ago. Not available on the S2 either. Unless you manually install an older version. There is a guide somewhere on here I think under the S2 section.
They pulled it I guess due to the tie in with Apple Nike+ Watch
Longun,
many thanks. Can you recommend any other running app available for the gear s3?
Manx thanks,
/Pallett
I contacted the nike support and this is the answer that gave me :

I'm afraid not. At the moment I'm stuck with S Health syncing to Strava, but only when it fancies it as sometimes it doesn't upload my runs.

This is a game changer for me. Was starting to question this devices ability as a running watch. If Nike+ comes it at least gives it a little more credibility. Ok it'll never be as good as a dedicated running watch but S Health is so bad its untrue.
Still no update from nike....
That's unfortunate. Hope they fulfill their promise soon....
I contacted them again just before Christmas. They confirmed to me it was coming back as well but no ETA. At least it looks promising.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for being a part of the Nike+ Community! It's a great platform for tracking your running performance. I understand that you would like to be able to use the Nike+ Run Club app for Android with your Samsung Gear S3. Allow me to assist you.
Joseph, as of our recent update, the Nike+ Run Club app is not available on the Samsung Gear S devices. However, we have heard your feedback and are planning on bringing it back in the future. At this point, our development team has not offered any specific time frames for this deployment. For now, you can continue to track your runs using the Nike+ Run Club app on your Android device.
Please let me know, if you have any further questions or comments. I will be happy to help you.

S-health results to Nike+
I have discovered a way to sync S-health results to Nike+ so you don't need to have the nike plus app on your wrist.
Requirements:
1. Nike Run account.
2. Garmin connect account.
3. S-health app.
4. Gear S3 (if you really want to leave you phone while you're running).
5. Internet connection (lol).
Steps :
1. Nike Run Club has a partnership with Garmin Connect. You can go to partnership in NRC to connect your Nike to Garmin Connect.
2. In S-health app, you can export your run to .gpx which can be imported to your Garmin Connect. So after you have completed your run, it will be recorded in S-health (after the data from Gear S3 synced). Then, export it to .gpx.
3. Login to garmin.connect.com (please request the desktop version), and after that you can find '+' icon on top right corner and select 'import'. Then import your .gpx file.
4. Open Nike Run Club app and refresh the activity, your run data should be there (synced).
It might seem complicated but I find it easy and simple. At least we have a workaround to stay in Nike Run Club with data come from the gear.
Hope this diagram helps in understanding how it works :
S-health-----GPX import to---->Garmin Connect<------Synced to------NRC

Still not available on the gear app store.
Where can I get the Nike app for direct download? Surely the old app could be made to work on the Gear S3?
Still nothing?
It does not feel like its coming.
Hitherto only the WearOS version was released and is available for download...

Voice input solution needed for Google-free LineageOS 15.1 (Samsung Galaxy S7)

Hi, I've recently set up my new S7 with LineageOS, and I'm determined to not install GAPPs or Google anything on this device. I've been able to find almost everything I need, but I'm still missing speech-to-text functionality.
I installed AnySoftKeyboard from F-Droid because it said it did speech-to-text in its description; however, when I attempted to use STT on the keyboard, I got a popup error message that said, "Voice Input is not installed on your device." The box had a button for installing this feature, but I suspect it pointed to a location on the Google Play store, since it offered to open F-Droid or Uptodown, neither of which had the needed app.
What can I do to obtain STT on this device without getting entangled with Google?
Even if you are using Los there are still Google closed binaries on your device. There is no way of getting away form Google with Android. Not completely.

The only one I know that works on Android (was origianly made to work on feature phones.) is controlled by Google or Apple. There is no real open source free, none tracking, setup.
You could look up the Google less preoject and see if they got it working but last I heard most abonoded the project because it just wasn't worth it.

TTS and SST is bound to google, you can't download it from anywhere, and even if you download it, it won't work without google services, you must install Gapps (Nano), hope it'll help
Seems like this is a dead end, for now, but I found lots of things in the works. I expect that we'll be seeing viable alternative STT services in a few years. Google, Microsoft, and Apple are always going to be at the front in this sort of thing because of their budgets, but open source will catch up.
This may be the reason I get into android app development... local, although not as good, STT is possible, I wrote some stuff in Python to do this on an embedded system. You just have to train, or purchase voice models. There are also many cloud based solutions other than Google at this point, so I don't believe this to be technologically impossible.

Thanks for the feedback. I've actually retired the S7 for a OP 7T, and I'm pretty much resigned to Goggle STT for now.

Finally, with the flashing of my phone, my life is 100% Google free. Not even using MicroG. #GoogleYou'reFired. I'll just be doing without STT until I figure out a solution.

Until I find a satisfactory alternative to Google's email, calendar, contacts, and cloud storage solutions, I'll still be here. Not that I'm looking right now...but one day. Maybe I'll try MicroG on my next phone. Maybe Elon Musk will roll out a linux-based, fully open source phone and supporting systems. Here's hoping!

Yeah, I'm using the synology nas and suite of apps. They are pretty OK. The sacrifices we make to opt out of data mining and the selling of our data to third parties... I currently have no plans to use microg. If elon makes a phone, I'd buy it, hopefully it would be better and more open.

Considering how closed source all of elon projects are I very much doubt he'd bring out an open source android competitor, probs call it the xphone, pay to remove the integrated ****coin miner and some more for the ability to use his new 5g networking but hey maybe it'll have fart sounds as notifactions
