I’m sorry but i can’t find how to solve the altitude issue i have on my facer watch faces. So maybe someone will be able to help me !
So each time i use a watch face from facer the altitude is wrong.
I have a Samsung galaxy watch 6.
I’m at 16m above the water and on my watch it’s noted -73m no I’m not under the sea
I tried to change from metric to imperial. Same issue.
I ununstalled the app on my watch and downloaded it again. I allowed facer to use location etc but same issue.
On my watch i have an altimeter app, the altitude is correct.
When i use a face watch from else where like google store no problem.
The Altitude Data Facer uses is based on the Batometric Pressure Reading . In the UK the air pressure changes a lot . So that makes the Data change . Also it is impossible to Zero the Data unless you are a Pro . the only way you will get a reasonably accurate reading is from an app that uses GPS . I live near a 100 foot Bench mark and have tested this stuff exaustivly . I used a Barometric Altimiter to gauge how high Watter Bottle Rockets went . The Y were calibrated to Zero just before Launch . I belive they were reasonably accurate . Zero to 500 Foot .
So if i understood, facer will never provide the correct data and we will have to use another app to have the correct altitude ?
So the altitude on the facer watch will be useless as it’s wrong ?
With all the people reporting this issue why facer doesn’t change where they take the data ?
@elo.egypte
What @russellcresser told you is correct, the Facer altitude reading is wrong all the time. One person on here figured out that by multiplying it by Pi (3.14) it became close. When I discovered it didn’t work correctly I stopped putting altitude on my watchfaces.
So Here is a Test I made . Tte pressures near as would ever be . So that is a start . I am at 33 meters .
Or problem is there is no way to Zero the Pressure reading . We can not trap numbers on Facer . We can not even indicate if the pressure is going up or down . So all I can say is sorry . But get into the other stuff that Does work . There is a Load .
.
Thank you so much for your help !
Too bad that their watch faces don’t show the right value. And too bad that facer don’t try to work on it ! Maybe someday !
I will use something else
Yeah the altitude is hidden in the compass ! You have to scroll down in the compass to see it. But in my case it’s better to be outside to have it because they use the GPS.
My altitude problem is only with facer watch faces.
If i use an altimeter app on match or use another watch face from another store the altitude is correct.
Yes . Samsung Compass has Altitude of you switch on GPS . But we can not pass this data to Facer . Ther is so much on Facer that is not on other Platforms we forget the Issues . For example Mobile Phone Power Reading .
You cant put it anywhere to correct others watchfaces that are already giving bad reading.
You would have to put that as source for the altitude text when creating own watchface.
