FAQ

Which phone do you recommend to use with the app?

Here's a list of recommended devices on GSMArena. We strongly recommend a device that has:

Barometer sensor (or get yourself a RuuviTag)

Android 8.0 or newer.

A barometer sensor is essential for any serious use. A phone without a barometer will work fine, but Power, Energy, Altitude, Ascent/Descent and Slope metrics will not be as accurate, and may even be very inaccurate.

As noted, the app supports external barometer sensors. The most famous one is RuuviTag, and it is highly recommended for accuracy even if your phone has an internal barometer.

How can I backup my tracks?

Starting with version v8.00 (2024-03-25) there has been a change in tracks storage paradigm.

    New method (v8.xx)

Please go to the Settings > Storage, and choose data storage location. This can be any folder you want. Then use your preferred method to backup this folder, for example by syncing with an online storage service (see below).

There's no need to backup other configuration files from the app's internal folder anymore. They are being automatically backed up by the Android system and restored when you change phones. You must be using the same account on both phones, though. If you plan to use a different account, please use the method below to also back up your profiles and other configuration data.

    Old method (v7.xx and older)

The best way is to set up an automatic sync of the entire /Android/data/com.sublimis.urbanbiker/files/Documents/UrbanBiker folder to a desired storage service.

    Backup your data online

Sync your data to a desired online storage service using the following apps:

- For Google Drive, you can use Autosync Google Drive app.

- For Dropbox, you can use Autosync Dropbox app.

Many other apps are available for this purpose, and also for other services. Please pick the one that suits you best.

How to keep tracks and settings when changing to a new phone?

Starting with version v8.00 (2024-03-25) there has been a change in data storage paradigm.

    New method (v8.xx)

1. Old phone: Finish all tracks in all profiles!

2. Then simply copy the entire data storage location/folder from the old phone (or the backup location) to the new phone. A file manager app like the Cx File Explorer can be useful.

3. New phone: Launch the app. Go to the Settings > Storage, and choose data storage location to be the folder where you previously copied your data.

There's no need to manually backup and restore other configuration files from the app's internal folder anymore. They are being automatically backed up by the Android system and restored when you change phones. You must be using the same account on both phones, though. If you plan to use a different account, please use the method below to also back up and restore your profiles and other configuration data.

    Old method (v7.xx and older)

1. Do not install the app on the new phone just yet.

2. First make sure to FINISH all tracks in all profiles on the old phone!

3. Then simply copy the entire /Android/data/com.sublimis.urbanbiker/files/Documents/UrbanBiker folder from the old phone (or the backup location) to the new phone before installing the app. Make sure you put the folder into the same location, i.e. to the (internal) USB storage, NOT on a SD card! If you were using a very (very!) old version of the app, also copy /Documents/UrbanBiker folder if it exists. Use a file manager app like the Cx File Explorer for this.

4. Install the app on the new phone and launch it.

If you've made a mistake and notice that your profiles, data and settings are not restored, reinstall the app and do everything again.
