Been in IT for 40 years. Love interprative programming languages. Wrote my own small Emacs in 2000 lines of C (see Atto on Github). Best way to contact me regarding Bangle stuff is through this forum or the private Message service in the forum.

    Does it power on if you try to turn it on with the charge cable connected?

    Usually takes a few days for a pull request to make it into the main app site. You could install it from your own cline of the repository.

    I can't recall if a Rpi has web Bluetooth.
    You might need a ble dongle and the right drivers installing.

    location will be GPS lat/lon ? It will take you at least 20 seconds to power on the GPS and get a fix and that is assuming you have downloaded AGPS data - otherwise expect 12 minutes for the first fix.

    That is good news. Interesting that it can take 12 hours to totally drain residual power from the accelerometer. One to bear in mind in the future.

    BTW you dont need to use gadgetbridge to install apps. You can go straight to the AppLoader page through the standard browser on the phone.

    There is a debug setting in the Settings App. Utils / Debug / Log should capture something in log.txt. You would need to look at it through the IDE (after disconnecting with GadgetBridge).

    I have also experienced randon clock freezes. I have seen them mostly on my Pastel and Lato clocks. Both use the Lato font. Its not frequent enough to narrow down. I saw it twice a couple of weeks back, but not now.

    If you are using the health app check what you have set the heart rate monitor to. If it is on always I would expect you battery to run down in a few days.

    Did you try factory reset via the Settings / Utils menu for a full wipe ?

    You could always step sideways (sorry could not resist the image in my head).

    Unless a flatten the battery reset fixes it, it looks like a broken accelerometer.
    In order for the step counter to work it uses SQRT(X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2).

    Step counters that only one axis tend to stop working in certain positions - eg one of the Garmin (£500) smartwatch wont count steps if you walk with sticks.

    Just do a log of say 2 minutes normal walking or 500 steps.
