    How does these work? When you park in multilevel car park? Where no reception..? Or if there is reception but different levels to find car?

    • psdillon on 12/10/2023 - 07:56

      Once you're in bluetooth range of the tag then GPS signal is not needed. I think I read that the bluetooth range was about 80m depending on obstructions.

      If you have a phone with UWB, the phone will show you a 3D compass with an accurate distance in meters, so you can see if the tag is above or below you. It's usually the ultra and plus Galaxy phones that have UWB.

      If your phone doesn't have UWB, I believe it will give you a distance in meters, with no compass, though if no GPS signal I don't think it would be too accurate, so long as it shows if you are getting closer then good enough.

        The tags don't have GPS, they rely on the phone GPS of whatever connects to it.

        • psdillon on 14/10/2023 - 09:02

          Yeah that's not what I said. Zeee's scenario is being in a multilevel carpark where your phone doesn't get a GPS signal, and other people's phones detecting your tag don't have GPS signal either.

      It goes back to around the galaxy s10 i think which is around 4 years old as well. Its not just flagship models as well, the A range of phones etc can detect.
      The network is not a concern.

      Like how Samsung had fast charging on the Galaxy 3 in 2013 but Apple released fast charging on the iPhone X in 2017? Or did they create that idea from scratch and it's just a coincidence?

          It doesnt affect its signal and hence reduce its discoverability?

          Unless your luggage is metal it won't affect it much. The main tracking signal runs off Bluetooth at 2.4GHz which would have no problem passing through typical plastic luggage walls. The 7.98GHz UWB signal for localisation would be slightly affected, but would still work.

    Anyone used the existing smart tags with their dog and can advise how it went? Have a samsung s22 base model (no UWB) so looking at this new tag though looks like it may be a bit annoying on the dog's collar…

    • String name on 12/10/2023 - 15:18

      a bit annoying on the dog's collar…

      It's not. Cases like this exist which should barely be noticeable to the dog

      I've even used fabric tape with the tag on the outside of the collar. Worked a treat.
      I would recommend noting if the collar sits a certain way (i.e. heavier. side down due to tags) and place it on that side so it's on the part of the collar that hangs off the puppers neck

      As for how it went, I have a Tile. I find it slow to update but the one time I did test it (by marking the Tile as "lost"), it was very accurate

            13 mins in .. "these are useless" for tacking stolen cars when other phones dont go past.. they also say only gps is reliable.

            Imagine a pet that is stolen or runs into bushland..

              @CauseNEffect: Once again, as I said, it does not look like you know how they work.

              Do note that you said Bluetooth is good for 10 meters.

              The video I linked is meant to show you how they work. I was not suggesting that they should be used for tracking stolen cars. You can clearly see they are good for far more than 10 meters.

              Imagine a pet that is stolen or runs into bushland..

              It's amusing seeing you make up scenarios to suit your argument. If someone wanted to steal your pet, they would clearly see a GPS collar and simply remove it and stomp on it or toss it in a bin. Not only would you lose your pet, you would have lost your expensive tracker as well.

              I'm not sure why you cannot accept that other people's pets may behave differently to yours, and that different people are allowed to have different requirements to you.

              If you happen to live near bushland and your pet has a tendency to run into it, then a GPS tracker can make sense.

              If the nearest bushland is 20km away and your cat escapes maybe once every three years, it might not make much sense to buy your cat what is effectively a mobile SIM with a monthly fee and recharge its "phone" every few days.

              What suits you may not suit everyone else. What suits everyone else may not suit you.

                @eug: You are arguing something you have no clue about. I own and use these bluetooth/ smartphone based devices as well as a true GPS tracker.

                My point is that they are not suitable for live tracking pets. If you owned a pet you would understand that that dont often sit still for long periods of time when they are out of the home. They move- quickly.. yes a stolen dog could have the gps tracker removed much the same as a smart tag… don't see how that invalidates a gps tracker in anyway.

                Last known location is better than nothing for sure and gives an idea of where to start looking but is no way comparable to gps which doesnt have deadspot areas like phones and tells you exactly the spot within a 3M radius.

                  You earlier said Bluetooth trackers are only good for 10 metres. You compared that to a GPS tracker that can track anywhere in the world.

                  If you only got 10 metres tracking range from your Bluetooth tracker, you either "have no clue" about how they work or are using them incorrectly.

                  That is why I linked the video that shows these trackers are not limited to just 10 metres.

                  yes a stolen dog could have the gps tracker removed much the same as a smart tag… don't see how that invalidates a gps tracker in anyway.

                  You were saying a Bluetooth tracker is useless if a pet got stolen. That is literally no different to a GPS tracker - it would be just as useless.

                  Last known location is better than nothing for sure and gives an idea of where to start looking but is no way comparable to gps which doesnt have deadspot areas like phones and tells you exactly the spot within a 3M radius.

                  At least you're changing your tone now. You were saying in your first post that Bluetooth trackers were practically useless for pets.

                  I still find it amusing that you are unwilling to accept that different people and pets can be different to you and your pets. What suits you may not suit everyone else. Not every cat needs its own mobile network plan - sometimes a Bluetooth tracker like this is sufficient. The update rate on these Samsung tags are faster than other trackers like AirTags too.
