Database Info

Any recommendation for an app that shows the trend for the barometer ?

I think I've tried a good part of the apps found on the Playstore that display the barometric pressure by using the sensor inside the phone. All of them show the instant value, but not the trend which is more important if you want to track (roughly) the weather changes. Any of you found a good app for this purpose? Thanks!

It seems that usually the barometer apps are closed by the Huawei's Phone Manager at screen-off. Adding the app on the white list in that app seems to solve the issue.
It's my fault, I'm new to the Huawei's software, I guess the thread can be closed.
LE: I spoke too soon. Even after the Barometer program is set "protected" in Phone Manager - > Battery Manager and the Service seem to be up and running, the measurements stop when the phone is in deep sleep. The programs that I used are Barometer Monitor (free) and Barometer ($4) available on Google Playstore.

System Cleaners - NO

I've tried nearly all the paid android system cleaners and the devs are ripping you off. Let's take CCleaner as an example, it runs through the cookies, cache, storage etc and tells you that over 300mb has been deleted, (LIE). You go into device care and storage, might say 700mb to erase. So please stay well away from all these apps because the devs are just having a laugh, just use the stock system care.

100% percent true, the same goes for antivirus, system and weather apps. They all also need to know too much of your info and usage/data and privacy.

I not i agree with you i use SD Maid app from first day when i found it and i use it long time ago on my Galaxy S1, Note 3 and Note 8 and now on my S10+ and its best app cleaner and optimizer...But you need PRO version

I'm not really sure how accurate this app is, because according to the optimization process it's cleaned up 22GB in 5 weeks. I don't believe that one bit, I've not really added or removed many apps, files etc. So what is it cleaning?

Same here, it says that it cleans alot, but what does it clean... I have no idea.
Same thing when you put apps asleep, is it something you really need?
Im confused about this one, but have not disabled it yet.
I think to get the best answer, is to tey it out with and without. Maybe someone already done it?

Why would you disable it Papa, it's free and it's the only one that works and regarding the anti-virus (gee2012), who's ever heard of anyone getting a virus on any Samsung phone or any smart phone. I've had every Galaxy phone/tab since the S2 and without using an AV and I've never had a virus. Yet another lie by our lovely Developers.

I like the fact that the samsung one can automatically optimize once per 24 hours (I set it to be done at 5am as I am always sleeping then, even in weekends) but on my S7 edge I used SD maid which I like as well, or at least it gives you the feeling it works/cleans something but it can be a placebo effect. But by every know phone I try to install as less apps as possible and it will build up while you use it longer and longer of course.

I just asked because I was wondering if it was more or less on the battery, using it or disabling it.
Agree that I've never had any problems with the program, but someone might have got better battery life without it or the like.
I will keep it if no one can prove the opposite. Only me who is curious about someone already tested

Yeah Papa, maybe try disabling it with Package Disabler and let us know how it goes, doubt that would be eating the battery. My battery has been running great over the last 3 months since I got PD, I'll post you a list of my disabled apps if you'd like, let us know.

Yes do so please. I have disabled alot of apps through PD, and uninstalled through ADB
I'll test it in the weekend

System apps disabled are my choice and apps I don’t/never use and maybe not be yours but my phone is 100% working. A lot of these apps you will use daily but I don't and my battery is loving it.

Check again after a few days.... Btfery drain is always worse after a factory reset or on a new phone as Android learns your usage Patterns

I have a 10+ running on Pie.
It took me months to sort out excessive battery usage. If your phone is running warm at idle you need to track down the causes. I use PD MDM package blocker which helps a lot if used wisely. A lot of junk that needs to be disable in settins too. My nominal battery usage screen off, plain jane AOD on is 1% an hour. Surfing the web, watching a vid is about 10% an hour. Your device probably uses more though even when optimized not sure though.
In Samsung Device Care, use factory load if it is the one with 360 degrees on it. Do not update.
•In Device Care punch Optimize for power/screen setting.
•Toggle on fast charging and -nothing- else. (see image)
You can then package block this app.
•This configuration will also keep power management from unwantedly killing apps in use like Poweramp. All other unused apps should go into standby mode when not in use or screen off... without power management options being toggled!
Use no 3rd party power management and for now don't toggle any apps to sleep.
•In Developer options>stand by apps, all buckets should show as active, if not unwanted power management is active.
Let the base Google default settings handle power management. Enabling advanced power management appears to cause conflicts leading to excessive CPU/battery usage.
•Any cloud app will steal power and bandwidth, Google Backup Transport and Goggle Services Framework are prime offenders.
•Disable all carrier, Samsung, Google etc diagnostic feedback as well as carrier updates and Playstore.
Enable as needed.
•Use Samsung Gallaxy Labs Battery Tracker to help track usage.
Framework will still show usage with AOD is active about 1% @ hour when blocked. It should be well below 1% when phone is active.
I've posted more detailed info in the 10+ forum.
Each phone configuration varies so try these suggestions, what works for me may or may not work for you.
Get a package disabler and start locking it down... play with it.

Thanks for sharing your tips here.
Which app are you referring to? Is it Package Disabler Pro? Searching "PD MDM" brings up a whole load of different PD apps on the Play Store.

You're welcome.
They aren't on Playstore. You have to look a little or know about them.
Been using it for at least 3 years probably longer. Very stable. A great tool for non-rooted Samsungs.

Stopped using that paid one from Police-whatever because their lame app stopped being able to block AT&T updates.

Thanks for link. It's weird though, as the app made by Policedeveloper on the Play Store has the same UI and same name, they also use identical screenshots with an old Samsung phone model! I wonder if they are the same developer or one has copied the other.
I was using the one on the Play Store but it did break after upgrading to Android 10. I am considering buying the app you recommend but don't want to get burned again. I know its not a lot of money but I don't want to be sold a lemon!

Don't know who stole what but know I'll never use anything from Policedeveloper again. Trashware.
Didn't appreciate their lame attitude when I emailed them either.
I've used PD MDM on Kitkat and Pie. Lol, no plans to jam Q into my 10+ though; it's running stable and fast.
I was apprehensive at first too, but they have consistently given me a quality app.
If they say it's compatible you should be good to go.

In Google Play Services>app permissions, disable all to get Google Transport Framework from using excessive battery. Google Transport Framework and Google Transport are package blocked as well. The former is the last step to shut these power sucking background apks down. So far I haven't lost any functionality I use.
Took me a year to track all of these down. Ha!
Should be 94 blocked apks, may have lost some in the confusion of manipulating the list.
Some of the blocked apks I've enabled the widget toogle to turn them off/on like Playstore.
•I'm running a 10+ on Pie... no idea how the Fold on Q will respond to this list but probably similarly.
•This list is customized for my set up and circumstances; each user's needs are different.
Best practice is to formulate your own list... the hard way. That way you'll learn what the apks you're blocking do and how the apks interact/their dependencies.

How to make the Google Digital Wellness app work?

(Not sure if this is the proper forum, I never understood the massive split here at XDA)
I recently discovered that the Google version of this apps includes the ability to schedule the focus mode and to pause it momentarily, which makes it perfect to avoid being distracted by the phone constantly.
Of course, for some reason, Samsung's version of it doesn't include those features. I was able to install the Google app through APKMirror but it simply doesn't start. There is no error message of any kind. I don't really know the Android app and system development process so I don't how Samsung is preventing it from running or Google has banned it from doing it (The manifest? I don't know).
I tried disabling the built-in Samsung app, but it didn't work.
Is there anything that can be done? Can I maybe see the system logs when trying to open the Google version through ADB? (I'm not rooted)

Not as trusted as Playstore. Side loading is always an extra risk. At least scan the download online with Virustotal.
I meant your end goal ie the ability to do what functions?
Just to see your usage stats?
I blew that apk off the first day I had my 10+... I'll take my digital chances. I find it decidedly creepy as the mentality behind it.
I pretty much lock down data mining Gookill as much as possible.
With Google you're not the customer, you're the product. Consider the implications with that truism... very little is for free especially with Google.

Samsung has Digital Wellbeing but I can't remember what it can do.
Bixby can also be used to set routines and rules.
Do Not Disturb can be customized as well and is probably your best bet, least invasive/battery consuming option.
Google apps are nothing but trouble. Google is constantly screwing them up to the point were I still run Gmaps and Gmail in their factory load albeit heavily restricted. Playstore is usually disable as well Google play Services.
Google backup Transport, Firebase and Framework are always disabled.
Trashware. My Note 10+ runs some much better without it even if I need to do an extra step or two to work around Gookill's junk... it's worth it.
Get out of my way big sister Google...

Question ECG in Samsung Health app?

Hey
Where can i see my ECG records in the Samsung Health app? Its all calibrated with the Samsung Health Monitor app, or is this the only place to see this?
Cheers

Samsung Health Monitor - its different than Samsung Health - this is where you get to see the graphs
See here as you may need to take steps to enable and use it depending on your location:
[RESTRICTIONS-REMOVED] Samsung Health Monitor - WearOS - 1.1.3.002 - Root, Age, Country & Device Restriction Removed - 23rd May 2023

forum.xda-developers.com

I have done this, Blood Pressure data is showing in the Samsung Health app, but no ECG info, its only in the monitor app.

ECG is a graph, if you think about it logically, theres no way to present that in the concise gui that Samsung health uses...Samsung Health is more of a concise overview of easily digested metrics, where as ECG is a linear graph, the two are not really compatible
Also figure in Samsung Health Monitors main purpose is to export that graph as a PDF, so its ideally not even meant to be viewed on the device at all...

I was able to install Phone.WearOS.SHM.MOD.1.1.1.171.dante63.apk on my phone and Watch4.SHM.MOD.1.1.0.185.dante63.apk on my watch using the procedures documented. I could not get these two apps to communicate. The phone app looked for the watch, but couldn't find it and eventually timed out. Has Samsung made further changes to their software to keep this from working or is there something else going on? Any insights would be most appreciated. Thanks.

1st of all you'll need to download the file "FeatureManagerOn" from the XDA Google drive downloads link found here admittedly while @Dante63 is good at unlocking these apps I don't think much to the layout of his/her guides. Look for "~~~ FILES and Description ~~~" download link will be under that, it's important to have this file sitting as such (root of Android phone) /DOWNLOAD/SAMSUNGHEALTH/FeatureManagerOn before following (opening the Samsung health app)
Open the latest version of Samsung health app, mines (6.21.2.007) just in case they lock it down even more... so if you'res is newer by the time you see this and the instructions I'm giving don't work, they probably locked it down more, press the "3 dots" found at the top right hand side, press "settings" scroll all the way down till you see about samsung health, press the version number several times till the option "set features" shows up, don't mistake this for "developer mode"
Once inside set features change health analysis to dev, and set data platform to enable developer mode
While I am supplying help here I am in no way saying I've done this to my watch 4, however I'm very happy that non Samsung smart phones are able to get the same level of data. Shame on Samsung for locking this up, joke is they are running the watch and their phones off of a open source operating system they are not apple and they should be opening this up to everyone, the code the lot. as they agreed to use a open source operating system and are profiting from it so should be giving back to the community, that they rely on, I'm disgusted with this company's behaviour and mistreating of code which by nature isn't theirs and shouldn't be locked down, all Android phones can run this there's no hardware reason... They are not apple they didn't build wear os or android.
So thank you @Dante63 I know it seems like I'm criticising you're work but I'm not, it's just that this shouldn't be a requirement for this to all work with standard non Samsung phones and the whole situation has annoyed me please write down how to do the steps in you're guide I literally didn't watch the video till after 9 attempts

1st of all you'll need to download the file "FeatureManagerOn" from the XDA Google drive downloads link found here admittedly while @Dante63 is good at unlocking these apps I don't think much to the layout of his/her guides.

Non taken, there is a written guide in Google drive, you can see a READ ME file, and on the thread (but briefly due to XDA characters limit)...
I made this for those who don't want to watch the video...
I'm always open for feedbacks and suggestions to improve guide and video

I didn't expect a reply, you're a legend for getting this working please keep updating/unlocking the APK files for Samsung health monitor, till Samsung see sense at least
Another app that needs unlocking is the Samsung galaxy wearos app found here, and there's another variant of the health app found here, give them no where to hide unlock everything I say including all the stuff off their galaxy store... Which is locked to Samsung phone it's outrageous!
Thanks again @Dante63

Unfortunately, core applications cannot be modded without breaking cloud services...

Hi all, got the phone and watch mods installed and now have both blood pressure and ECG. The blood pressure syncs to the Health Monitor app but not the ECG. The ECG tab says it can't connect to my watch while the blood pressure tab does. Any clue?
