It works on all my Android phones (Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi) and in Android simulators. I have no idea what's wrong with your stock Pixel7Pro...
p.s. I'll try to search what can be wrong with Pixels...

Hi vadll

I'm currently testing version 1.14.69 and see still the same error as in Post #361.

please do not write position Coordinates: 0°N 0°E into the database
if there is no GPS Fix.

0°N 0°E is not a placeholder for none GPS Fix but a Geo Position (Gulf of Guinea) .

When the real GPS position is received (GPS Fix) one occurs huge offset over 5000 km !

Hi. The App does not write GPS data into DB until it detected by GPS sensor. Are you talking about the online dash or statistics?

Hi,
I'm talking about Session Records if there is no GPS Fix then the position Coordinates: 0°N 0°E is entered.
see the preview of the Session Records in the post number #361
the preview shows the first Position as 0°N 0°E ( in the sea Gulf of Guinea)

Newbie question: my bike (Orbea Rise) does not have a display, only a unit with buttons to control the assist. Will the app be able to display the battery level on my Apple Watch?

I forget about the app on the Apple Watch. The characters are too small to see when I'm riding, so I deleted it. Another option you might prefer is to remove your little clicky-button on the wire, and replace it with a proper computer display mounted to your bars. @Rod B. did a really detailed write-up that you can find elsewhere on this forum. It looks complicated, but it really isn't that bad.

Honestly, I do not want a display and prefer the just-buttons thingy. The only thing I want to know while riding is the battery percentage, because the LED indication is the same for 100% and 20%.

I have both E-Tube and ST Unlocker apps on my phone, but they're very slow to connect and can't be connected to the bike while riding, so not very practical to use them to check the battery.

The Apple Watch connects to the iPhone, not directly to the Shimano system. So if the iPhone is too slow for you, then the watch won't be any better.

Honnêtement, je ne veux pas d’écran et préfère le truc avec juste des boutons. La seule chose que je veux savoir lorsque je roule, c'est le pourcentage de batterie, car l'indication LED est la même pour 100 % et 20 %.

J'ai à la fois les applications E-Tube et ST Unlocker sur mon téléphone, mais elles sont très lentes à se connecter et ne peuvent pas être connectées au vélo pendant la conduite, donc pas très pratique de les utiliser pour vérifier la batterie.

The new 1.18 version was released.
Added ANT+ heart rate sensor and SRAM AXS.

To work with ANT sensors you have to enable it and pair at "App Settings"

I am in the same situation. Just downloaded the app, it's giving me the battery percentage. All I need now is an android phone with a smaller screen than mine ;)

Congrats to the developer, as a retired programmer, I can see all the work that was put in the app.

So, does it allow you mid-ride to just get your phone out of the pocket and instantly see the battery percentage?

I just have the tiny doggle. I don't want more. I just take out the phone to see the battery when I want to. (It connects fine with my iPhone if I start the bike and app in the right sequence.) But I set the app to talk to me from the phone telling battery status from time to time. (The watch is too small to use when riding so the phone is fine.)

Yes. But also talks to you. It tells you the battery status but the status depends on what setting you are in at that particular time. SO It is best to check the phone if you really want to know.

Good morning, everyone, I have an Orbea H30 with a Shimano EP8 RS motor, and I am very satisfied with the ST Ride App, which I find excellent and complete.

However, I have a problem with the speed displayed on the app, which shows approximately 3 km/h higher than the actual speed. In fact, both the Shimano display on the e-bike and also checking with Waze and Maps indicate a speed 3 km/h lower than ST Ride.

Can anyone advise me on how to adjust the speed displayed on the ST Ride App?

Thank you all for your help.

I am sure it has been asked, but here's a suggestion of upgrade I would really love.

The possibility to add a configurable minimal display (battery usage, distance...). This way we could use a smart watch with ST RIDE.

You can do this by yourself by creating a new or modifying existed scheme XML

Wow!

I am not much of a "power user" but I taught programming (embedded systems) for 35 years. So I can appreciate the incredible work you put into this app. Thank you so much.
Is this sarcasm? ;)

It wasn't, your app is really good. In fact I am about to write a post on my home EMTB group to publicize your App.

Configuring the dash was really easy , now I have my dash with the basic info I need when I ride(Battery,distance,time, ride time:

Question: I am thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy 6 (47 mm screen). With the minimal info I want, I should be able to read the display Did someone try it? I resized the screen capture to h=47 mm, so it should look like the pic I included.

@vadII help!

I have ST Ride on iOS and it has been working fine for my normal bike. Since I did a ride with another (rental) bike I have been having crashes - if I start it and try and look at recorded it asks be if I want to resume a session and then crashes, but if I connect to a bike it works, and I can start a session but when I swipe to map view while in active dash view it crashes.

I have removed and reinstalled, and checked for updates. In Finder I can see Imports/Exports folder (empty) a sqlite3 DB and a temp gps file. Is there any trouble shooting steps I can take?
