Got it a few moments ago and went ahead in testing it. I also had the chance to compare it with v.3.4.1.0. Here's what I got so far with my L1020 under the latest dev prev update and official cyan:
-
Missing/unnecessary/un-updated text in the Settings. In the settings, it says that "Due to Windows Phone OS limitations, when the application runs under screen lock, the accelerometer will get disabled and will not be able to count steps. In that case, it is adviced to enable the 'Do not use acceleration sensor' check box in the General tab of this page and enter a manual stride length." However,
the "Do not use acceleration sensor" check box is no longer present in v.4.0.0.0.
-
Steps are being counted even under lock screen in v.4.0.0.0. I have tried running the app under lock screen by simply switching the screen off (forced screen time out) and by running the app in the background (by going to the start screen without terminating the app). In both cases, it seems that the
accelerometer still runs even under lock screen, since my steps were still being counted. I tried "faking" my steps by bouncing my phone up and down while standing in place and the step count still continued - it was accurate to my bounce count, too! This is
definitely a big plus, as this is not the case for v.3.4.1.0.
In v.3.4.1.0, the accelerometer was deactivated as soon as the screen timed out. I
may need to observe v.4.0.0.0. more on this, perhaps in longer walks and runs.
-
Unusually long "resuming" screen occasionally after unlocking the phone while the app is running under lock screen. Happened only once, and the app did not crash. Switching to another app or the start screen and then returning to the app brings me back to where I left the app.
These are all for now. Will post more as they come up. Good work!
