Automatic Calibration #87

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Would it be possible to calibrate the device automatically during the first 
night's sleep? When you start the app for the first time you have to run the 
calibration wizard, which isn't ideal if people aren't installing it at home or 
don't want to calibrate it there and then for whatever reason.

How about the following sequence:

Launch app for first time
Welcome tutorial
Click Next and then finish or skip tutorial

If calibrating automatically could go straight to home screen.

OR:
User is presented with calibration screen
Give options: calibrate automatically or calibrate now

User can still run calibration wizard at any time from the settings menu.

I tried automatic calibration for movement in earlier versions. It didn't work 
well because of hardware differences. So I changed movement calibration to be 
more interactive so that the user can visually see how sensitive electricsleep 
is to their movement.

Not presenting calibration to users when they first install would leave most 
users unaware of the feature and many would just use default values then 
complain "DON'T WURK" the next morning when their alarm didn't go off due to 
not enough sensitivity or them having an android 2.1 or a non-compliant device 
that doesn't support accelerometer use when the screen is off.

There are smoother ways to both inform the user what is going on and to get the 
right calibrations, but I haven't fully explored other options yet.
