Lotte<p>Considering buying a Garmin watch because they seem to have the best options for monitoring LongCovid/ME/CFS related stuff.

mgorny-nyan (he) :autism:🙀🚂🐧<p>The history of my phones: <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Motorola" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Motorola</span></a> ROKR E6 (running MontaVista Linux) → moto e(2) → moto G6 (stock <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> → <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LineageOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LineageOS</span></a>) → <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> Pixel 8a (<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GrapheneOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrapheneOS</span></a>). Why the change? Well, <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Lenovo</span></a> is killing Motorola brand for years now.</p><p>A few thoughts after the first day using it, and comparing it to 5 year old Motorola with barely working software:</p><p>1. Pixel: 7 years software updates + good alternatives. Motorola: 2 years + poorly working LineageOS port, whose support just ended. You could say you either pay directly to Google, or you buy competition and pay in your data.</p><p>2. It made me think of "value" moto e(2) — no charger, not even a back cover, but there's Gorilla Glass and good hardware. Well, except that the price isn't "value".</p><p>3. It's not really pretty, I'm going to need to find a case to even out the back. Moto G6 was a piece of art compared to it.</p><p>4. It didn't reboot of its own accord even once yet. Moto G6 rebooted at least daily.</p><p>5. You can call more than once. Moto G6 used to hang after a single call — you couldn't make or receive another one, and it drained the battery.</p><p>6. Location catches in a few seconds, compared to a few minutes of standing still with Moto G6, in good weather.</p><p>7. Data transfer was successful. It's much easier when you're doing it across phones, rather than from backups. Even Matrix and <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GadgetBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GadgetBridge</span></a> didn't cause any issues.</p><p>8. Restore in <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreeOTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeOTP</span></a> doesn't work. Fortunately, during the last migration I've backed up all the secrets externally.</p><p>9. The fingerprint reader in the screen is usable, and I'm getting the hang of gesture navigation. However, the under-screen fingerprint reader + navigation in Moto G6 was just brilliant. I still couldn't find any convenient way of locking the screen.</p><p>10. Performance and RAM is much better. It just doesn't keep killing the apps I'm using.</p><p>11. I haven't tested the screen in the sunlight yet, but I suspect it's going to be better. G6 was pretty horrible, even compared to the value e(2).</p><p>12. The government mObywatel app is working. Just saying.</p><p>13. Multiling O keyboard sometimes shows under the bottom "keyboard control" bar, sometimes above it — very annoying.</p>
Aires<p>Decided to play around with <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/Gadgetbridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gadgetbridge</span></a> as an alternative to the <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/Garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Garmin</span></a> apps, and it's way better than I expected! They put a ton of effort into building a UI that looks familiar to Garmin Connect, while also being its own thing. </p><p>The main issues so far: getting my watch to auto-reconnect, no access to the Garmin store, and on a more minor note, not having access to social features. The first one is fixable, but the other two are trickier. But for an open source project trying to reimplement proprietary walled gardens, it's pretty sick</p><p><a href="https://aires.fyi/blog/switching-from-garmin-to-gadgetbridge/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">aires.fyi/blog/switching-from-</span><span class="invisible">garmin-to-gadgetbridge/</span></a></p>
