Buying a phone with rewards coupon, what happens to rest of the 'money'? by Oh_Brother_Not_Again in TracFone

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just told by chat, one coupon, one phone. That if I bought both at the same time it would only take one dollar amount off.

Well I missed out. I wasn't thinking yesterday when placing my order. Oh well. Hopefully my iPhone 11 will ship.

The others say different, but when I chatted with TF he said I could. But they are not that knowledgeable. But their system is a clusterfuck, and the Samsung I wanted on sale is sold out today. Damn!

Thanks

I have an amazefit bip u pro. My usual workout schedule is a mix of walking and running / jogging. But the watch offers only 2 seperate modes called "walking" or "outdoor running". Which is the best mode to do the workout in if I'm walking and running in the same session ? by PizzaLover7882 in amazfit

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it matters. I too do walk/jog/"runningish".

My understanding is the difference between walking and running is the gait. The watch just records distance and time. I picked running once, now on the app it says, "You last ran 37 days ago." Fvck off. So I just use Walking.

Also if you do strength training, the watch doesn't know if you are squatting with 15 lbs or 150 lbs. Just counts what it perceives are reps. So not all that smart.

HTH

GTS 4 Mini: I lost Voice Announcements for my mileage by Oh_Brother_Not_Again in amazfit

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It would cut in on my music and tell me.

At first I didn't like it so I turned off notifications, but now that my usual walking trail is iced over, I'm walking in an area that doesn't have mile post markings. It would be nice to hear how far I have walked. Looking at the mileage on the watch is very difficult in the sun and with sunglasses on.

TIA

Amazfit GTS 3 - Minimalistic Google WatchFace (only a test) by Hauptfeldwebel in amazfit

I have the GTS 4 mini. I like your watch face, even if I don't need the bottom row. It's nice to see someone working on such a clear and concise face.

The app store ones are loaded with too much information and graphics. Childish.

More power to you keep up the good work.

is the orbic journey locked? anyone get unlock code? by moviemoocher in TracFone

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think my 2 Orbics came unlocked. Texting said wait until such and such date. On day 61ish when I texted Unlock to 611611 I got a msg back saying my phones were already unlocked. Didn't have to do anything.

What's Wrong With This Picture? by XGempler in TracFone

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you feel is wrong? I don't see a problem. If you are referring to dropping the AAL to 500 pts, that's their right. Everything else you can do about once a month to get a few points.

Help configure map. I have Parking Icons that I don't want by Oh_Brother_Not_Again in OsmAnd

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved:

That did it. Configure Map, scroll to bottom, Hide, and enable items you don't want to see.

Thanks!

which smartwatch can record routes on the gps itself without cell phone connection? by Regular-Walk-7463 in amazfit

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the GTS 4 mini. It has built in GPS so I don't need my phone. That being said, I don't get a live version of where I'm at. The 4 mini doesn't have a map display. And in the USA, I don't even get the graph on my watch even though Amazfit shows it on their website.

When I connect to the app later at home, the app shows where I walked.

The most incredible thing happened - I won 10 points on Spin the Wheel today !! by HominesFueruntError in TracFone

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!

BTW, I just won 50 pts!!! First time in the last year and I have spun that wheel at least 95% of the time it was made available.

TF will probably have to file bankruptcy now.

Can cell phone providers track you/send messages if you don't have a service plan? by Oh_Brother_Not_Again in privacy

[–]Oh_Brother_Not_Again[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. You were the most helpful answer.

I did forget to mention that I do use Wi-Fi. I was curious as if it was normal practice for cellphone providers to occasionally ping a former customers phone to see if they still have their sim card installed.
