>>38878137>Or if you open the game and there's nothing, are you just fucked?yes at least in my case if i open the game and the distance didnt increase it was worthless but with the 10 minutes at least method it happens very rarely so i dont have to complain, with that said i do it like this and its the only way it has worked reliably;
>close pokemon go and go to setting, apps and force detention on the app not just closing it normally>open google fit and wait some minutes before putting in the sock (the wait thing might not be necessary but again this has worked reliably for me)>put in in the sock and just shake it for 5 minutes check how much distance i have gotten so far after the 5 minutesi do this cuz sometimes not only pogo is retarded but google fit is too and doesnt count the shaking as steps
>put it on the sock again and shake it for 5 more minutes>stop, check google fit and wait a minute or so before opening pogo>????>profit
