"How I forced Adventure Sync to track more accurately"
#PokemonGO: Note: I did this on a Samsung Galaxy S9+ and my husband tested it on a Samsung Note 9, it worked for both of us but I can't asure you it will work on other phones. Also, I apologize in advance for any confusing phrasing, english isn't my first language.Sorry in advance for the long post.Last week, I set myself the goal to get to 50km to obtain the Adventure week rewards. Long story short, I had never reached that goal before because AS sucks big time and even when I actually walked/biked/roller skated more than 50 km per week, I rarely ever got to over 25. But this week I was determined. After a bit of research here on Silph Road, I saw this post and got an idea. Here's what I did to make AS to sync as accurately as possible with Google Fit:Open Google Fit (make sure location is on)Tap on "Track Workout" and select "Walking"DO NOT OPEN POKEMON GO AT ALLWalk, bike, etc and let Google Fit run.When you're done walking, tap on finish workout, close Google FitOpen Pokemon Go and wait. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for it to sync.Now, Google Fit tracks your steps even if you don't select "Track Workout", but in my experience, Pokemon Go rarely adds "untracked" steps to AS. So basically what I did was having Google Fit actively tracking everything I did as a workout. It was a bit of a hassle, I'm not gonna lie, but I managed to get 51km last week. I even turned on tracking when I was cleaning the house.So, for example, yesterday I went out on a walk. There's a park about a mile from my house and it has a few stops and gyms, so what I did was tracking several workouts. One on my way there, one between each walk to each stop. I couldn't have Pokemon Go open in the background because if I do this, the workout is not added to the AS distance. So, basically it's: Track work out -> Finish Workout -> Open Pokemon Go -> Spin stop, fight gym, etc -> close Pokemon Go -> Start over.This were the results from yesterday:Workoutshttps://i.redd.it/3ym05to7vr331.jpghttps://i.redd.it/0pho5nnjvr331.jpghttps://i.redd.it/60mzdjtmvr331.jpg via /r/TheSilphRoad http://bit.ly/2WIltUA
