BG2BangleJS vs Plug Off Airplane
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
BG2BangleJS
# Prerequisites For this app to work and to get data the data on your watch, you need: - An Android phone - this app installed - Allow the app to draw over other app's permission and disable battery optimization. - xdrip app installed. - the Gadgetbridge app (bangle version) for the Android phone - A BangleJS - With this widget installed # App ## How to use it Make sure you have all the prerequisites from above. The watch should automatically start displaying values, if there is an arrow visible behind the value, the value is within the not-expired-yet time range changeable in the settings standard is 15 minutes. (I will probably change this in the future, to strike through the text to make expired values clearer). If you click on the text in the app, a test value of 18 as a raw value will be sent to the watch with a valid timestamp. This feature is used for testing if the connection works. Also, make sure to allow the app to draw over other apps's permission. ## Settings In the settings, you can: - Disable/hide the widget - Change the unit from mmol/L to mg/dL - Set a time at which old BG values expire # Developer Developed by Phil Roggenbuck (phrogg) # Disclaimer As well as xdrip you should not use this app to make medical decisions!
Plug Off Airplane
This is a very simple app that turns off Airplane Mode when the USB cable is plugged in. The idea is to make sure Airplane Mode is turned off at least once a day, in a safe location in terms of metadata: the home. Your telecom already knows your device belongs to its billing address. This makes it easier to use Airplane Mode to disable the cellular radio during the day, when it is not needed.
