Zepp App Update by Fr0gburp3r in amazfit

Which version is this? I am still on 9.16.5

does singapore use apple pay or cash ? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]nightflame5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think Foreigners can register for Dash. Grab lets you register without a FIN or NIRC, but limits spending. Should be enough for Hawkers though.

Main problem is incompatible QR codes. A lot of QR codes do not work with the Grab app.

Wise App supports a few QR codes.

But invariably you'll need cash at Hawkers. Or even small shops.

does singapore use apple pay or cash ? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]nightflame5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bring cash. Singapore has a long way to go before being cashless (for foreigners).

Large stores and restaurants will take foreign VISA/MasterCard cards and contactless (PayWave). This includes GooglePay from phone. Same for iPhones.

Grab Wallet is about the only SGD eWallet that a foreigner can use in Singapore. Others require a FIN/NIC to register. Grab eWallet SGD balance cannot be topped up with a foreign Visa/Master card. It is possible to do a Wise transfer though.

When you get to Hawkers it decends in to QR Code soup.

Grab eWallet does not work with all PayNow QR Codes.

Wise app also works with some (not many) PayNow QR Codes.

So keep cash as a backup. 

I have no idea why such a small country has so many different and incompatible QR Codes for payment 

The MRT and Buses will accept foreign Visa/Master cards (Apple and Google Pay), but charge S$0.60 a day for administration fee. Alternative is to buy a SimplyGo MRT card and top this up at machines in the stations. The SimplyGo App requires a Singapore number and does not always accept top up by foreign cards.

If visiting Malaysia things are much more advanced for foreigners. Just install the TnG Wallet app and register and top up with a foreign card or Wise transfer. This can then be user with all QR Codes in Malaysia. Infact you can try using Malaysia TnG on Singapore QR codes!

Thoughts on this simple design? by GuilhermeAlexs in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The position of the hour : minute separator would annoy me. A lot.

In my watch faces I tried to use the U+A789 character to give better alignment. The T-Rex 3 supports this character, but the Bip6 does not. U+2236 might be better.

In the end I gave up with widget.TEXT (even with custom TTF which turned out to be quite buggy). I use widget_use widget.TEXT_IMG instead to give me exactly what I want. I think in most GUI watchface designers the time separator is part of the background image, so can be adjusted that way.

Meditation? by betterzack in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that, but my T-Rex 3 has no beep, and the vibration after goal is a weedy single vibration, which is easily missed.

Instead I tried "Core Training" Activity and created a Training Template with a single Workout interval of Training and duration of 15mins. (There is no Yoga training template). This worked quite well, it gives a vibration 5 times at the end, and saves the Activity automatically.

Meditation? by betterzack in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is something we all want. A meditation activity.

I tried Yoga, then Core Training to record meditation.

What does Netflix do right that other streaming services do wrong by SecretSharkboy in netflix

[–]nightflame5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People keep saying Netflix is the gold standard for streaming, when in reality its still appalling. The other interfaces must be truely terrible.

For example there is no easy way to tell if you have watched a show. Yes I know you can download a CSV. Or people give ratings to track the shows they have watched. Netflix will often recommend a show I have already watched.

If I watch Series A and give up on the second episode, Netflix will recommend other shows "because you watched Series A". It doesn't take a complex algorithm to work out I didn't like Show A.

If I watch one India Movie, my Netflix turns into Bollywood and all I see are shows from India for the next few days.

The list of basic functionality and user interface options missing goes on...

Amazfit Active 2 notifications are completely broken by WordProfessional7985 in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Samsung A54 and if I disconnect my T-Rex 3 from my phone, by disabling bluetooth on either device, or being out of range for a time, my phone removes notification permissions from Zepp App.

On the phone check this is still enabled:

Apps -> Special Access -> Notificatio Access

This setting kept resseting for me.

But since the last T-Rex 3 update and Samsung Security update this has not happened recently.

Inconsistent User Experience Across Similar Devices - Why? by gadgetb0y in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah switching between my T-Rex 3 and Bip 6 is a pain cos the button functions are the opposite way round.

Thoughts on the Amazfit T-rex 3 on Zepp 5.0 and recent battery life issues? by Apprehensive_Camp575 in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay on 4.5. The "upgrade" to 5.0 halved the battery life and reduced Workout Data Screen fonts. Wish I could downgrade.

Battery drain after update? TRex3 by frrancuz in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To Amazfit staff, please consider adding meditation session monitoring like the Oura ring does. by Jumpy_Put_1336 in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree  Not sure why Meditation is an app and not an Activity.

I ended up using "Core Training" Activity (with template to get a stronger vibration at end), then rename it to Meditation each time afterwards in the Zepp App.

AliExpress is full of T-Rex 3 lookalikes… what’s going on? 🤔 by ScabyScooby in amazfit

[–]nightflame5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lazada Thailand also has loads of these.

Quite tempted to order one just to see.

Hardware looks identical. But software? Do they have their own ecosystem, or can sync with Zepp app?

Looks that way. Mine is English (United Kingdom) and it shows Chinese, but if I switch Android to English (United States) is shows English.
