Changelog:
v0.4: Added radar for US Cities (landscape mode using internal browser), customizable in registry (see 2nd post). Moved Settings button on top next to newly added Exit button. Displaying 5 days of forecast instead of 6 with slightly bigger text. Improved QVGA/WVGA support (bigger buttons for WVGA, fixed missing text for QVGA/WQVGA). Many bug fixes (value checking in forecast, GPS thread termination, station re-searching, duplicate location station search). Removed Exit button from Settings as now there is a main Exit button on top right.
v0.3: More error checking (locations and stations). Better resource management on exit. Moved Tower and GPS finding to a timed thread (timer is customizable in registry, see 2nd post). Fixed small bug with showing high and lows of today's rather than tomorrow's forecast. S2U2 support with wildcards in registry (see 2nd post). Better support for browser link (when clicking on logo). Changed chance of rain to chance of precipitation (moved some things around). Enabled stations picking when using GPS.
v0.2.3: Better error handling (more messages, more checks). Faster connection checking. Some Bug fixes (alerts on startup, lows and humidity on non-metric).
v0.2.2: Better error messages. Connection checking. Some GPS fixes. Exit button added on Settings.
v0.2.1: Fixed a bug with startup registry keys

Any feedback/suggestions very much appreciated.
Reserved
Hints:
- To update the data, either click on the button that is highlighted (i.e. if you are viewing Current data, click on the Current button again to update, etc.), or go to Settings and click Save Settings.
- For using GPS Location, when you enable the option on the settings, it will first try to find your location based on tower information (i.e. you cell provider towers). This does not block the system. Mine takes about 2-3 seconds. If it finds your location, it will show something like: Approx. Location: 37.861111,23.759126. Regardless of finding an approx location, the app will continue on to find your GPS location, based on your GPS receiver. This could take a while but it also does not block the system. Mine (with latest quick gps data) takes another 2-3 seconds. If it finds a GPS location, it will show something like: GPS Location: 37.861123,23.759145. GPS location obviously overwrites Approx Location. You could wait or save settings and come back to settings again later to check if the GPS location is found, at which point you can do save settings again to update with your exact location weather data. By default the app takes 60 seconds to look for a tower location and a GPS position. You can change the timeout in the registry (see Customizations).
Customizations:
Most of the settings data are stored in the registry key (HKCU) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mwunderground. You can use Total Commander or Registry Editor to modify these values. Only do so if you know what you are doing. If something is broken, just reinstall the cab (which uninstalls first and clears the registry).
Radar Customization
To modify the Radar, you can edit the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mwunderground\RadarURL. The current value is:
Code:
http://radblast-mi.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=*RADARID*&brand=manmade&num=6&delay=50&type=N0R&frame=0&scale=1.000&noclutter=0&t=1297546449&lat=*LAT*&lon=*LON*&label=you&showstorms=10&map.x=400&map.y=240¢erx=400¢ery=240&transx=0&transy=0&showlabels=1&severe=1&rainsnow=0&lightning=0&smooth=1
The *RADARID* will be replaced in the application by the proper RadarId based on your location, *LAT* and *LON*, Latitude and Longitude, which are replaced by the station's Latitude and Longitude location. You can modify the remainder of the values. For example, to change the speed of the animation, modify delay=50, to delay=75 (will slow it down by 25%), or to not show labels, set showlabels=1 to showlabels=0.
Tower and GPS connection timeout
To modify the Tower and GPS connection timeout, you can edit the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mwunderground\GPSTimer to the number of seconds you'd like. Default is 60.
SU2U Wildcards
To modify the S2U2 format, you can edit the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mwunderground\S2U2Format.
Code:
Possible S2U2 formats:
ICONS=S, P, W, C
If icon is S, P, W, format is for example: S|*NUMBER*|High|Low
If icon is C, format is: C|*NUMBER*|MESSAGE
*NUMBER* will be replaced by the appropriate icon number based on the ORIGINAL S2U2 icon numbers
Weather Underground icon to S2U2 icon matching:
clear=32(Day)/31(Night), cloudy=26/27, flurries=13, fog=20, hazy=21, mostlycloudy=28/27,
mostlysunny=30/29, partlycloudy=30/29, partlysunny=28/27, rain=12/45, sleet=7,
snow=16/46, sunny=32/31, tstorms=3/47, unknown=0
MESSAGE= can be anything and you can use the following wildcards
*TEMP_C* is replaced by the current temperature in C
*TEMP_F* is replaced by the current temperature in F
*TEMP* is replaced by the current temperature based on your selection in settings (will append °C or °F)
*HIGH_C* is replaced by High temperature in C
*LOW_C* is replaced by Low temperature in C
*HIGH* is replaced by High temperature with units based on your selection in settings (will append °C or °F)
*LOW* is replaced by Low temperature with units based on your selection in settings(will append °C or °F)
*DAY_0_HIGH_C* is replaced by High temperature in C for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *HIGH_C*)
*DAY_0_LOW_C* is replaced by Low temperature in C for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *LOW_C*)
*DAY_1_HIGH_C* is replaced by High temperature in C for day 1 (tomorrow) of forecast
...
*DAY_5_LOW_C* is replaced by Low temperature in C for day 5 of forecast
*DAY_0_HIGH* is replaced by High temperature with units based on your selection in settings for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *HIGH*) (will append °C or °F)
*DAY_0_LOW* is replaced by Low temperature with units based on your selection in settings for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *LOW*) (will append °C or °F)
*HIGH_F* ...
*LOW_F* ...
*DAY_0_HIGH_F* is replaced by High temperature in F for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *HIGH_F*)
*DAY_0_LOW_F* is replaced by Low temperature in F for day 0 (today) of forecast (same as *LOW_F*)
...
*DAY_5_LOW_F* is replaced by Low temperature in F for day 5 of forecast
*DAY_5_LOW* is replaced by Low temperature with units based on your selection in settings for day 5 of forecast (will append °C or °F)
*WEATHER* is replaced by the weather message (i.e. Clear, Heavy Thunderstorms and Snow, etc.)
*WEATHER_ICON* is replaced by the text for the weather icon (i.e. clear, mostlycloudy, etc.)
EXAMPLES=
C|*NUMBER*|*HIGH*/*LOW*
will display the icon with 12°C/6°C underneath (default)
C|*NUMBER*|*HIGH_C*°C/*LOW_C*°C
will display the icon with 12°C/6°C underneath
C|*NUMBER*|H:*HIGH_F*°F/L:*LOW_F*°F
will display the icon with H:65°F / L:45°F underneath
C|*NUMBER*|*WEATHER* (*HIGH_F*°F/*LOW_F*°F)
will display the icon with Clear (65°F/45°F) underneath
C|*NUMBER*|*DAY_0_HIGH_C*°C/*DAY_0_LOW_C*°C - *DAY_1_HIGH_C*°C/*DAY_1_LOW_C*°C - *DAY_2_HIGH_C*°C/*DAY_2_LOW_C*°C
will display the icon with 65°F/45°F - 75°F/55°F - 85°F/65°F underneath
Go crazy!
No QVGA support?

Once I get in the mode of changing things for WVGA, it'll probably not be too hard to make a QVGA one as well.
very nice interface... will give it a shot

Strange. Does it give you any errors? Data plan/wifi working? .NET framework 3.5 installed? I'll do more investigating tomorrow based on your ROM.
Wow, I love munder weather...thanks bro, will give this a whirl...
Won't work on my Topaz (WVGA). Not sure if its the screen size not being supported or something else. .Net 3.5 is installed and i tried both CABs and same result.
A screenshot of the message I'm getting. thanks for the effort tho- I look foward to this program!
It looks really interersting application!
I would love to have it in other languages too (e.g. Greek )

hi you all. first, big thanks for this software. it's amazing, I was hesitating to buy this of ageye, but as I've found yours...
just to say that it's working very very good on my i900, winmo 6.1 swiss-french rom, installed on besides memory (Ma mémoire), screen res 240x400.
Only the texts are pretty small in forecast, but... PERFECT !
a simple big Thanks !!
works fine on my fuze

Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
1. Added on version 0.2.2. Thanks for the suggestion.
2. For manual update, check the 2nd post. I posted a hint. For automatic updates, this is a much bigger task because querying for xml data in windows mobile is quite slow. When I work on optimizing the xml parsing code (3rd iteration!) I'll look at how feasible this is. But it's a big task.
Got this error when changing the settings:
Mwunderground.exe
NullReferenceException

bij System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)
bij Mwunderground.Program.Main()
This error occured after I changed the current location. Now I can not restart the app. I get the same error message every time I restart the app. I can not even get into the start screen.
How can I fix this, besides a reinstall of the cab file?
Another idea I would like to see is support for the CHT 2.0 weather widget.
Can also weather stations from other countries be used. I keep getting a list from Greece.
Post-edit:
I think I have found the issue. I keep getting an error message when changing the weather location based on search option for cell towers/gps option. Somehow this function is causing the app to work incorrectly, perhaps due to interference with the option of a manual search of the location search. The error occurs only after I save the settings. Can you see if this can be fixed?

this document describe about some tips on station and srcs editor.
thanks for sharing !!
It looks really promising, I will have a look on this
wow.. looks like you put a lot of work in!
looks like somethin made by htc!
would really love to see this working in American cities!
Wow, great apps. I wonder if you can have it support other cities too? Like Manila....
cool! soo... how do we add other cities into this software???
Le Vesinet, both stations, are missing.
Works on my HD.
Perhaps you can display all the list when nothing is in the search box.
And add a slider on the right with alphabet for a quicker browsing.
Added: and please remove https from the images links.
Hi,
Nice design and bug free on my Diamond.
A few points :
- When you change the selected map, you have to restart the app before it's taken in account.
- It miss an exit button.
- When I try to edit the maps directly on my phone, the app is crashing at next launch. I guess it's an encoding issue.

in fact, the map data is OPEN, that means we can easily add maps by ourselves.
I'm actually starting the Map Creator developpment. so when i finished, we can create a map very very easy.
of course, i have also some ideas to improve this program.

the map data is formatted with XML in UTF-8 coded. if you like, i will put the format specifictions this evening. so anybody can create a map.
i'm also developping the Map Creator, when it is done. we can create maps by this tool.

- when you touch the map button to change te map, the changes will active immediatly (testCity only contains stationA and stationB for test). in Options form, we change only the "Default Map" - the map loaded on startup.
- yeah, it is not a fullscreen app, i think the x button on the top right is enough, if we hold the x, it will be closed. i will continue receive comment, if more people propose to add exit buttons, i will add one
- Map is Coded in UTF-8, to improve the effecientes, i did not check whether the map is valid. maybe that is a improvement to work when we have more maps.
Thanks for your opinions.
just a question: wouldn't be possible to import (or to use directly) Métro maps? would be easier, and there's plenty of Métro maps
x_sliver said:
the map data is formatted with XML in UTF-8 coded. if you like, i will put the format specifictions this evening. so anybody can create a map.
i'm also developping the Map Creator, when it is done. we can create maps by this tool.

first of all thanks for thins application! too bad it wasnt released in december when i went to paris \
anyway id also like to figure out how to add maps.. I am going to London in 2-3 weeks and it would really help if i could add a map for it..
could you maybe give some info as to where to look for a map and small instructions about the formatting?
once again, thank you
edit:
i see that its quite easy by editing the xml..although its time consuming...i will give it a shot later on today on the london map

Perhaps you can display all the list when nothing is in the search box.
And add a slider on the right with alphabet for a quicker browsing.

Tweaks
You can find some more settings in your registry. HKLM\Software\M_G\TouchWatch2
S2U Users:
If you are using Slide2Unlock there might be a problem if you switch off the device while a timer is running. S2U forces the device to suspend, but the device have to be in unattended mode to work properly.
Take one of this possibilities:
1. Uninstall S2U.
2. or Never switch off the device while a timer is running.
3. or Try to configure S2U like this (settings taken from G-Alarm Homepage):
* Lock when screen is blank > off
* Lock when backlight turns off > off
* Power off in > off
* But blank screen only > off
* Blank screen on talk > off
* Please check those settings on both "On battery power" and "On external power"

nice!
great app and nice look! thanks! but i miss that feature of changing the background image.
I'm running it on a Samsung Omnia (i900) and here are some of my observations:
1. In portrait mode, the application is a little short of the 400 height
2. When I try to draw a line from the top down, the application throws out a "NotSupportedException" error message.
Otherwise, very practical application!
We've written a post about it: http://www.careace.net/2009/05/26/control-stopwatch-and-timer-on-the-touch/
what an awesome app, I was looking for something like this because I coach soccer. Thank you very much
looks good but gwatch works perfect for me already
hi
Just a note to let you know that this does not fill the screen on my HD it just treats it like VGA
Good ! Thks for sharing this tool !
will test it right now, as i'm always looking for ONE tool to be a timer and a counter !
(Today, i run with 2 separates tools... )

Thanks for all the feedback
Hi all,
I have tried to fix the WVGA fitting. Give it a try and test the 2.3 version please. I can't test it because I only have a Diamond.
Thank you very much.
Get it here.
I really like this program but unfortunately when i turn off the screen on my HTC Touch (CDMA), the timer stops working until I turn the screen back on and return to the program. It's like it stalls in the background and stops counting down. I installed it to my storage card rather than main memory. Could this be the problem?
Update: I uninstalled it and reinstalled it to the main memory, soft reset and tried it again. Now once I start the timer and turn the screen off, it makes one short vibration, no sound, no screen turning on, and the timer starts counting upward when the timer reaches zero. Once I manually turn the device on I can see the timer counting upwards and then it starts to vibrate and make sound normally while the timer continues counting upward... really weird. I want this program to work. I really like it. Hope you can reproduce the bug and figure it out.

Hi,
the windows mobile design don't allow to run timers when the device is switched off. There are some workarounds for this (like using alarms), but this isn't a good idea for timers or stopwatches.
You can switch off the screen if you want (there are some tools out there which can do this), but if oyu switch of the device, all timers or stopwatches will stop.
I have noticed that there is a way to run applications in an unattended mode. MAybe this will work. I'll try it.

Ok, found a way that you are able to suspend the device via power button. But the device will not be suspended really. Only the screen and lights are switched off. Timers will run in background and switch on the screen if timer is elapsed.
Will release it soon..
Nice work lopez1_de - this has real promise.
I don't know whether the various reports of issues with the screen sizing on WVGA pre- or post-date your release in whivh you thought WVGA was fixed, but it appears not to be. The screen still comes up with a 'gap' at the bottom.
Keep up the good work though!

Hi Gustopher,
thank you for testing.
Damn, how to get the proper screen dimensions on WVGA devices. C#.NET does not give the correct values for Client.Height I think. I googled so long to find the answer. No luck until now. ...

Yes, I did notice that with some programs. I do however use a timer program called simple timer which allows me to turn off the screen and then lights up and alerts me when the timer is up. Your program is much cooler looking though. Thanks for keeping at it.
OK, finally fixed the WVGA screen fitting. Many thanks goes to Gustopher for testing it.
For all developers:
And here the trick which allow to run things in background while device is "switched off". You have to set the power management of the device to unattended mode. If the user is pressing the power button, the device will not be suspended, it will be in unattended mode. You have to deactivate the unattended mode manually!
Code:
private const int PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE = 0x0003;
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private static extern bool PowerPolicyNotify(int dwMessage, bool dwData);
I will release a new version very soon.
New release!
Version History:
2.32:
* Fixed WVGA fitting.
* Added support for switching the device off while timer/stopwatch is running
* Added S2U2 detection and automatic exception creation.

iMulator
Hey guys,
There is a big chance that you don't know me, cause this is my first release for a Mobile Device. Because of this I'd like to introduce myself before I'll tell something about my latest project.
About me:
I'm an 18 year old TI student living in The Netherlands. I’m studying at the ‘Hogeschool Rotterdam’ but because of my successes I'll switch to the Technical University of Delft ( Which you can compare to MIT ). I've been programming since I was around 15 years old, but as I said in the introduction, this is my first release for a Mobile Device.
About 'iMulator':
I’m the proud owner of a HTC Touch Pro 2 but (as many other Windows Mobile devices) it lacks a truly good music player. Most of the music players that are available for this platform don’t have the features I look for, even the paid versions don't suit my neads. It bothered me so much that I almost regretted buying a TP2 instead of an iPhone.
Spending loads for an iPhone to replace my TP2 that costed me 550€ 8 months earlyer wasn't an option, instead I got the idea to develop my own. I wanted a music player that had the following features:
- Library based
- Finger friendly
- Works smooth
- Lets you find and play your song in no-time
With this list I decided to make an iPhone Music Player Emulator
Requirements:
- Windows Mobile Device
- Windows Media Player ( It's library is used ONLY to play the songs )
- Microsoft's Compact Framework ( Click )
- Approximately 5 MB of RAM
- Approximately 10 MB of Storage
Screen Support List
Supports
- 240 * 320
- 320 * 480
- 480 * 800
Unknown
- The Rest
Does NOT support
- NONE
What is NOT(yet) in it?
- The Landscape album view. ( will NOT not be implemented )
Screenshots:

- Added Album art.
[26 apr 2010]
- Changed when adding media, tags will be updated when 'Modify Time' has changed, instead of the size.
- Changed when adding media, the whole device will be scanned for media, rather than only the storage card.
- Fixed the "Dissapearal" of the current Playing list.
- Fixed the "Index Out Of Range" Exception when browsing songs.

[25 apr 2010]
- Initial Alpha Release
Looks great, will write an article about it at the frontpage!
Edit: BTW good to see a new Dutch developer here at the forums!
i would highly appriciate that
by looking at the screenshot u've provided, this looks exactly the same like another application called S2P..
what's the differences?
please correct me if I'm wrong / or misunderstand..
S2P is also a great application, basicly the only diffrence is that S2P doesnt work with a library, it simply lets you browse your music that is stored on the storage card.

Looks nice!

Hi, also from me, glad to see some dutch talent here !
I tried your alpha release and installed in on the HD2 on the memory card.
When I start your app, I get the start screen asking for all songs, albums, ... When I click any of them, I get an error message:
iMulator. exe
IndexOutOfRangeException

i m also facing the same issue. tried to add songs by File > Add Media to Library.. Threw an exception. Secondly every time an exception is thrown and user re executes the exe file a new process is created eating up memory. Thirdly, i prefer to install applications on storage card but i am unable to install it on SD, it automatically gets installed on memory card (-1).

v5.0:
Added TCX exports. They are saved on Internal Storage/AmazTimer and can be uploaded to strava
Added workout mode. In this mode you have to end sets manually. Useful for weight trainings
Added chrono mode. In this mode it will vibrate by intervals but instead of countdown, screen will show a chrono
Long clicks now increase time by 1m and sets by 5, this will make putting high times faster
Added an option to disable prepare countdown
Improved accuracy checks on heart rate measurements
Big improvement in timer's responsiveness
Some other minor improvements and fixes
v4.3:
Ask for year of birth instead of age
Added heart rate accuracy checks from health app
Improve battery saving mode
Other minor improvements
v4.2:
Added app info tab in settings
Replaced weight and age's seekbar with a list
Increased long vibration time to 700ms
Fixed a lot of possible FCs
Optimized code a lot
Some other minor fixes and improvements
v4.1:
Added heart rate zone to latest training information
Show -- instead of "Reps" in main screen's work text when reps mode enabled
v4.0:
Added reps mode, in this mode work wont have any timer, just rest
Allow timer to run in background (Now timer can run during activities)
Some minor layout fixes
Fixed FC when cancelled timer and there isn't any hr value
v3.0:
Added gender, age and weight (just kg for now) settings, you have to set them if you want accurate kcal measurements
Added avg, min, max hr and kcal measurement, watch them on settings - latest training
Fixed a minor bug (If you cancelled timer from prepare screen it would keep going)
Added an option to extend preparing time to 1 minute, this way you can start timer and then start an activity, so activity will be recorded and you'll have interval timer

Let's see if I can do some test soon.
Seem working good, I try only few second and seem ok. Too feature will be the standby mode work but probably is not easy to work on splt mode. Suggest to put name APK on git instead of general app-release, and miss a good icon but yes is a good starting point

Thanks for your suggestions, I added a name to the files.
I just released v1.2
Great job on the app and thanks for sharing the source code.
Would you have time to add a way to save in the app different profiles of interval trainings? meaning the number of sets and the duration with a possibility in the future to load it?
PS: it was requested many times in this app thread as well.

Guys, is it possible somehow to start this or other application, but in backgound have launched sport activity?
For example I'd like to do sth like this:
1. start normally "indoor fitness"
2. launch somehow AmazTimer v2.0 and make interval training
3. back to "indoor fitness", save and sync to amazfit app
but I don't know how to minimize sport app to have it in background and also how to call it back on top.

Pity. Once I did it by coincidence . So, maybe it would be hint for developers . When I plug charger during training I saw watch face. I thought I lost training stats, but when I tried to open other sport my lost training came back to the top .

I have almost finished adding it for your app in amazmod too. Test it before you start codding because you may be able to launch an app only from main screen.

Introduction
Google's Wear OS lacks many things from competitors... One of these is a Barometer-Altimeter application. So why not building one by getting the inspiration from the best one out in the market?
Read the instructions before installation!

0 - If any previous version in installed, go to "Settings" > "Apps & Notifications" > "App info" > "Alti-Barometer" > "App Info" > "Clear data" > Confirm
1 - Download the latest .apk file
2 - Install the .apk with adb (tutorial on the third post)
3 - Start the app
4 - Grant the Location permission (optional but recommended, if you want the automatic calibration)
Done!
Update instructions
If you want to update this app to a newer version, uninstall the old version and then install the latest using ADB!
Detailed info about the app
Every 5 minutes a the app will get the pressure from the sensor and store the data.
The weather notification is sent if 4 hPa are dropped in the past three hours.
The trend seen in the barometer is calculated in the past 6 hours.
For the first 6 hours the trend is going to be inaccurate because it doesn't have real data to compare.
Altitude is measured using the barometric formula, considering standard the pressure of 1013.25 hPa.
Issues
Automatic calibration not working on Samsung watches. I don't have a watch to test and I can't fix this bug unfortunally.

Changelog
1.11
● Changed the app UI to make it different from the original app
● Added "Advanced Settings"...
... and that's a secret
1.14
● Added manual calibration
● Fixed a bug involving calibration
1.15
● Added fully customisable units
Auto calibration of altitude - explanation of the physics
I think this is cool to share
Air pressure depends on your altitude, but since air pressure changes normally, the readings are not accurate if the instrument is not correctly calibrated.
Manual calibration can be done... but it's just not practical! Automatic calibration is instead much better.
Let's start with the barometric formula:
Ph = P0 × e^(-α × h)
with constant α = (M × g) / (R × T)
The app gets your location, then finds thanks to the weather API the pressure P0 at sea level.
Once found P0, I can substitute it in the same formula to finally find the actual calibrated altitude
h = ln(Ph / P0) / - α
Ph is now the reading from the sensor and h is the current altitude
The calibration of the altitude highly depends on how accurate are the weather forecast provided...
From my testing I had a +- 10 m which is considerably good, but it depends from place to place.
ADB Tutorial
1) You will need to install ADB drivers to your computer. Suggested tutorial --> [OFFICIAL][TOOL][WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
Assuming you are using Windows, you should find a folder named "adb" inside the C drive with some files in it.
2) Place inside this folder the apk you want to install.
3) Enable "USB Debugging" on the device you want to install the apk on. This setting is hidden inside the "Developer Settings", that you can enable by pressing 7 times on the "Build Number" under "Device Info". There are many videos that show this.
4) Open the command prompt inside the "adb" folder. To do so using Windows, just press Shift + Right Click of the mouse and then select "Open PowerShell Window".
5) Connect your smartwatch to the PC with the usb cable.
6) On the PowerShell type "adb devices" without quotes and confirm with enter. Make sure the android device shows a message.
7) On the device press "Allow always" (or something like that).
8) On the PowerShell type "adb install Alti-Barometer1.15.apk" without quotes and confirm with enter.
DONE!

Thank you so much! I'd appreciate a little review here in the comments after you test it so I know if there are some areas that can be improved
Especially the thing i'm most concerned is battery life so if you find problems you know what to do!
New update
● Fixed a minor bug involving a predefined value where for the first three hours of app running, no notification would display
● The altitude graph only displays rounded integers numbers, now is much clearer (no more spikes)
● Fixed a bug involving calibration
To update it is recommended to follow the procedure described in the original post

This project's purpose is to replicate almost identically both in terms of UI and functionality the Samsung Alti-barometer app, which is preinstalled on Samsung smartwatches.
This is the app I'm talking about -> https://galaxystore.samsung.com/geardetail/com.samsung.alti-barometer
I don't understand what you mean by beep sound (what's the beep for?) and location icon (you mean that the app should display an icon when it gets the location?), especially because I don't think the original app has these features.
Final Update
The latest update features a new UI for the tile.

Thanks for your work, Can we access the app from tile and the full app can keep alive (not close itself till we close it.)
from my Suunto 7
and the last quest why altitude num from tile not the same as app itself. (from my picture --3m & --1m)

1) Click on tile added
2) I managed to fix that.
NOTE: Your issue might also be related to always on. If you have always on disabled, after some seconds the display will lock. With this fix, if you turn your wrist (or click a button, or touch the screen), the app will return visible instead of showing the clock.
If you have always on enabled... No issues either because always on is supported and the app will keep open.
3) That's because the tile does not show real time data, while the app does.
This app collects data in the background every five minutes. This data serves for: pressure trend, notification alert and graphs. The value you see in the altimeter and barometer page are instead real time data, polled and computed instantly.
The tile shows the last collected data from the background service so what you see in the tile is at worst five minutes old.
It's not beneficial for battery life to have high refresh rate tiles... and for that there's the application!

This is strange cause I didn't change anything on the background service from last update.
If you followed the installation instructions from original post I'll suggest try checking again these things:
1) Go to "Settings" > "Apps & Notifications" > "App info" > "Alti-Barometer" > "Permissions" and make sure that "Location" is enabled
2) watch has to be connected to the internet, it doesn't matter if through WiFi, through 4G or trough your phone's bluetooth (so no airplane mode)
3) watch's location can depend on phone's location. Try checking if both are active in the settings (but I assume they both are because it worked for you yesterday)
4) as a last step I'll suggest to reboot... Most of the times that solves any issues
Keep in mind calibration is set every 4 hours so if one of these actually solved your problem you'll notice it after some time!
If it still doesn't work let me know because it is strange
Storm Warning Notification is OK.
we have 7 day Weather Forecast, During 3 – 5 Aug, people in the whole country should beware of severe conditions and stay tuned for the weather update. All ships should proceed with caution and should keep ashore including keeping away from thundershower bra bra bra...
and I 've trid to clean new installation hope auto calibration work again.
Altitude is not calibrated, does not calibrate at all, location permission is on, maps work, but altimeter says calibrated never.

I'll definitely have to check what's going on... However one thing that bothers me is that from the weather provider portal I can see that today were made 2 API requests... So somebody has this feature working. I'll dig more and update you if I find something. Also the fact that currently I don't have a phisical watch to test it apart from the emulator doesn't help
finally calibrated by V1.7 , after 4 hrs of Clean install . But don't known why minus altitude value.

Last calibrated was at 18:10 and the altitude +8 m should be more or less correct I guess. What happened in your case is that air pressure in your location increased as happens naturally during the day, tricking the altimeter to think that you went lower on altitude. Probably what's going to happen at 22:10 is a new calibration that should show accurate altitude. From my side I can't do anything about this, It has to do on how accurate the weather API are in your location and on how the pressure changes throughout the day. In days where air pressure is pretty stationary you won't notice it
Consider the altimeter value with a precision of 10 meters on raw value. Delta value (like if you want to measure how tall a building is) are precise instead!
News on the automatic calibration bug
I tested the app with the emulator and managed to fix that issue.
I'll try to explain what the problem was.
This app doesn't use real time GPS for location, it uses instead the so called "coarse location", that is based on cellular towers. The reasons are simple: the app doesn't need the metric precision given by the GPS, and "coarse location" is much less energy consuming.
Right after every reboot, the system location is a "null" value, meaning it is not usable for my app. At this stage the app couldn't calibrate the altimeter.
Then after approximately half an hour, the system location started giving usable values for the app and after that moment the calibration worked every single time.
So in conclusion, after a reboot, the app wants to calibrate the altimeter, but until the system location is not "null", it won't and there's no guarantee that the system will update it soon.
Solving this issue was pretty easy: I had to manually refresh the location right when needed.
Now it should work as expected.
By the way I moved the download link directly to xda attachments
At the time of the edit of this post I just reuploaded ver 1.8... I forgot to replace one thing I used on the debugging phase
I have found another bug. If the location takes a lot of time to be collected (which might happen), the background service will lock, showing a constant notification that is impossible to dismiss... This is not a normal behaviour and I will make a fix hoping that it will be the last.
EDIT: Updated
