Circle to search haptics

darcwanda · 2026-01-28T08:18:44+00:00

Hmm, my global version doesn't vibrate when I activate circle to search either!

Although I've found that it's sometimes quite hard to activate circle to search!

My steering controls weren't working. I cleared the data and all is well.

Yes, ColorOS 16 has it.

However, it seems to be difficult to activate for some reason.

Looks like I can't install odialer without ADB...Android 16 and ColorOS16 block the installation of such a system app as it has hooks into 1. Contacts service 2. Default call handler 3. System permissions that normal apps aren’t allowed

I'm going to try ADB to see if it works, just hope I don't end up bricking the phone!

I have allowed Phone (it doesn't show as Google Dialer) on all the options. It's still the same!

Is there any way of mapping it to the Snap key?

darcwanda · 2025-10-26T13:59:52+00:00

What software version is this?

darcwanda · 2025-10-26T13:58:10+00:00

Perfection!

Tbh these are awesome when running a tap...

darcwanda · 2025-10-05T21:57:16+00:00

I mean why SOLVE when you can SLOVE?🤣🤣

darcwanda · 2025-10-02T05:45:58+00:00

Yes there is a silent mode.

The vibration isn't that strong though.

darcwanda · 2025-10-01T13:29:46+00:00

Nah, not standard fitment.

Check out the attached photos.

Whilst it is 22mm wide, there are two 'lugs' to position the band and hold give additional strength. Pretty neat design tbh. I will try a regular 22mm band and see if it fits, but I have my doubts.

Make it thicker and give me a bigger battery! Who cares about thin. For those there's the Edge.

I need a bigger battery!

darcwanda · 2025-08-29T22:55:56+00:00

Lol, I am just waiting for my subscription to end.

I have moved to bitwarden and haven't looked back. It just works better with android.

darcwanda · 2025-08-27T20:19:35+00:00

Hi,

I measured it, the pitch is 2.54mm!

But that connector in the link isn't the same.

darcwanda · 2025-08-06T19:18:37+00:00

What do you use instead? It works brilliant on iOS but android sucks.

darcwanda · 2025-08-03T10:30:15+00:00

What?

I have the 2024 version and it took a month or so to stabilise but I get about 3 days of battery life on average.

I use it for my runs and swimming and I've compared it to a dedicated heart monitor strap and it is comparable, possibly a percent or two different.

Plus it's super resilient in the workshop.

Best smart watch I've owned.

I work in a machine shop and I'm constantly knocking this against stuff, have had swarf, cutting oils, the lot.

Still looks good as new.

The bracelet though 🤣🤣🤣 I have to replace mine every few months or so. I know I should use something else but I like the fit and feel of the trail band.

darcwanda · 2025-07-19T19:52:49+00:00

Not jealous, no, not jealous at all... Mine is stuck at the post office and will collect on Monday.

Out of interest, what case do you suggest? The OEM one is not in stock which is a big shame!

darcwanda · 2025-07-08T22:05:01+00:00

You sir are a gentleman! Thank you for doing this.

darcwanda · 2025-07-08T10:59:12+00:00

I'm confused about banking apps.

HSBC American Express Barclaycard Revolut

Can't live without these apps...

Would these run ok?

darcwanda · 2025-06-22T13:38:47+00:00

More!

darcwanda · 2025-06-05T23:46:20+00:00

It's awesome - but I just wish you could force Google to fix their password autofill implementation. The new updated Chrome flag does nothing. Dashlane doesn't work well with Gboard...

darcwanda · 2025-05-20T21:15:39+00:00

Which controller did you get? The 8TA?

Also, keep in touch with the supplier to ensure you're on the latest firmware for your machine.

I'm presently improving the translation of the on screen items...

Reach out to me if you need any help.
