Anyone using a fitbit or comparable wearable fitness tracker?

Just wondering how it works on this device, and in general as I'm thinking of trying for the first time ever.

I'm using a mi band. It works without any problems. The mi app is ok-ish, unfortunately there is no way of using the mi band with other apps. For the price I'm quite satisfied.
The only problem is that the band seems to drain my battery much faster. I guess bluetooth LE is not fully implemented into the opo rom atm. The phone still survives a full day without problems. But before I was able to pull three days out of the battery when needed. The battery of the band is awesome though. The promised 30 days are not a lie.

Up24 works for me now. Had an issue with Up app messing up my GPS rendering Waze & Google navi inoperable. Downloaded AppOps from Playstore and turned off Up app location services and solved my problem.
Happy tracking.

Having a major issue since 5.1.1 update

i have a t-mobile galaxy s6 completely stock and since the 5.1.1 update i cant listen to music or podcasts for more than roughly 10 minutes without the app closing on its own. i've tried searching for other people having this problem but i havn't found anything. maybe i was wording my search wrong. but can someone steer me in the right direction to fix the problem before i trade in this phone.
Update: it was an auto stop setting in the battery management section. I guess after the update it selected all apps to auto stop. All is good again.

try to factory reset your phone....but remember it will delete everything...so backup....

It is the crappy memory management that samsung has implemented. Go thank them

Looks like I'll be getting my first LG phone. M9 is such a safe bet though.

just put it on craigslist lmfao...

Not sure this is a memory management problem. My music has NEVER shut off by itself. Doesn't playing music use the mediaserver anyway, which is a part of the OS? Which apps are you using for music/podcasts?

It only happening on 5.1.1? It might be some apps not working property with 5.1.1 only I guess.

Buy this app and freeze all unused and unwanted apps(including system apps) and this will let you free up lots of memory. It doesn't require root and only works for Samsung phones but I'm not sure if it still works on 5.1.1(5.0.2 it works fine).

That has nothing to do with ram management ... Because the same problem was on 5.0.2 andaybe t-mobile messed something up ...

Sounds like lotta people ar having problems with 5.1.1. I think I'll skip it until the next update

ALL IS FIXED! In the battery management section there is a function to auto stop apps after 10 minutes of the screen being off. I guess after the update it selected all apps to be auto stopped. I will go back to loving my phone lol

multitasking underwhelming for a 4gb ram phone?

Not sure if its due to some bugs or just how huawei prioritizes their memory but man do apps just randomly close a bit too frequently, sometimes even switching between 2 apps! The most recent example is if I'm listening to pocketcast and I take a picture, the audio stops and when I return to that app it does a fresh open.
it's somehow worse than my iphone 6 plus which I hated because the 1gb of ram wasn't enough.
This is on the US version. Maybe I should pick up a OP3T... but I swear the other 4gb ram android phones i've used were better at this.
Wonder if there are any tweaks I can do to help?

It's probably just their aggressive battery management. Try from battery optimization settings to check if your podcast app is set to close when not in use.

I have both the 3T and the Mate 9. I was going to sell the 3T but I am now considering going back to it and selling the Mate 9. I have noticed some freezing that goes on when I open apps. It doesn't happen a lot but I do notice sometimes I will click on an app it will freeze for a few seconds and then the app will open. I already reset the phone and it still occurs. Or I will be watching a movie in google movies and I go to exit out of the app and it'll freeze for a few seconds before exiting.
There are also app compatibility issues. When in google movies, if you try to adjust the volume the whole screen will turn black until you close the volume slider.
- Hulu does not work it just shows a black screen. Another user said I need to call Hulu to get it working because the default stream codex they are using doesnt work with the mate 9
- Google voice doesn't work consistently.

nah thats fine. the only time was with the camera... which itself is kind of a slog. Weirdly stuttery when most of the os is smooth. Wonder if there is a memory leak... or does leica tech requires all the 960 to do anything?
emui 5.0 might need a bit more in the oven.

I did have problem previously that runkeeper always closed when I switched to other app. But with latest software it's fixed

Honor 6x Hangs in Nougat

Honor 6x which i purchased a month back was absolutely working smooth in marshmallow.
I did a update to Nougat Emui 5...mobile would work fine & very smooth for some hours after a reboot or clear ram frequently. If we dont clear ram/reboot & use it for more than a day....It just dont...hangs, lags, stutters
Funny part is...it holds apps which i opened almost 7/8 hours ago from ram(i would have opened 8-9 apps easily after opening that app)
It seems emui has some memory management issues which isn't killing very old processes/apps
In developer options...If we set background processes limited to 4....voila!!! it goes smooth again...as old processes are killed
so my question here is ....can we limit background processes to 8-10...as 4 in developer options is so less
if not....any workaround to fix this.....I remember following d above mentioned method in my old galaxy s2, friend's redmi 1s....i feel ashamed to do it my 6x in 2017...c'mon Honor !!!
Y doesn't it kill apps/processes which are too old and allow everything to run in background....Unless & until we open a heavy memory demanding app like a game...it wont kill old processes running in background....WEIRD !!!

Please refrain from clearing apps from RAM. They will just resurrect and come back more RAM hungry.

The phone does have an option in battery optimization to close apps when screen is off. You can use it

I did also an update to 7.0.
Full Low Level format of phone.
No Problem at all. Everything runs perfect. Battery stands as long as in 6.0.
Niche features on Nougat. At the moment i could not see any problems here so long.

It works this way only. Nit only Android but all OS works the same way. It will keep the app/process in memory and once needed they will be in action quickly. Closing app will cause more ram when they are launched again

U didn't get my point bro... I'm saying d same thing.. But emui is keeping too many apps than a normal device in background...

So 8 - 9 apps isn't too mutch opened in RAM, except games or Chrome with 30 pages. And if u play games and use "heavy ram usage apps" is better for u cleared ram manually

But its keeping almost 10-11 apps in memory & not allotting suffecient ram to newly opened apps..
I hope there is some way to limit keeping apps in ram to 8..as we can only limit upto 4 in dev options... Hope someway we can restrict upto 8

The only plausible solution now is to reboot your phone every 24 hrs.

Emui is known for its aggressive killing of app in background. You can have 20 apps stored in ram and if you launch ine more then the 1sr app will be killed. Thats hiw EMUI works

Shashank u can decice how many apps to runned in the background . Probably the smart power 4.0 mean about the battery manager.

Oneplus 8t Fullscreen

Hi,
so i received my Oneplus 8T yesterday and it works like a charm so far. But theres something i am unhappy with, after I did set up everything. I opened up PoGo and noticed that it isnt fullscreen. So I went to the settings and tried to change the Apps to Fullscreen, but there are no apps shown.
I have read some threads with the oneplus 8 pro facing the same issue.
Anyone else got that problem?
Regards,
Alex

Hi,
I was also looking for something to force all apps to fullscreen. Have you found anything on this yet?

It's a OnePlus thing. The OnePlus 8 is the same way. I think it has to be something to do with the Oxygen software. They haven't given us a way to make apps work full screen with the punch hole camera. You should be able to use all apps full screen a OnePlus device with a punch hole camera just like you can on the last 2 generations of Samsung devices with the same kind of camera setup.
I know several people have reached out to OnePlus about it but they haven't said anything and have remained quiet about it.

To force full screen you have to enable developer options and there's an option for cutout and you can disable it, that may be your only option
