V4.2.7 of the OpenSeizureDetector Android App is now available for beta testing. It should be available on Play Store in a day or so (after Google have reviewed it), or it is available here now.
This replaces the V4.2.6 published yesterday which included an error where the new BLE2 data source did not attempt to reconnect after it lost the connection to the watch.
The main changes are:
- Fixed problem with notifications in Android 13
- Improved start-up checks for permissions
- Improved system re-start after changing settings – use the new ‘BLE2’ data source for PineTime and BangleJS watches.
- Disabled the CNN algorithm by default as it is causing some false alarms (Issue #170)
- Added watch signal strength history graph and watch battery history graph to main activity (only works for the new BLE2 data source with PineTime and BangleJS watches).
- Added watch data to the system screen of main activity.
- Support for V2.0 and higher of the Garmin Watch App (to reduce battery consumption – thanks to @pmithrandir for making a lot of improvements to the Garmin watch app.
Users of Garmin watches should not see any detrimental effects of this release – please let me know if you do.
Infinitime and BangleJS users should see the system shutdown behave better and give less issues with the app screen flashing between OK and FAULT after changing settings etc. The system should also recover automatically if the watch goes out of bluetooth range then returns. (Note though that PineTime times out and goes to sleep if it is not connected for a while and you need to press the watch button to wake it up – I will fix this in an update to the PineTime firmware soon).
Please feed back experiences of using this version so we can decide what else to change before we make this the main release for everyone.
Thanks
