    Yes, well, open the app, pair the device, and then turn the screen off and pop the phone in your pocket.

    yeh thatd be handy alright i really only get an hour and 10 continuous play out of the phone but often im out on walks or runs for 2 & 3 hors and im missing loads of km's might definitely be worth the investment.

    Crazy amounts of Cubone and Marowak and to top it off......

    Welcome to the Halloween event. Cubone, Marowak, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Hypno, Drowzee, Meowth are all regular spawns until 1st Nov.

    The Gyrados is special though. Hope you got him.

    FPM is patchy. It works, but there are areas near me which appear to be completely empty

    Out on a walk last night, very disappointed when had covered 5-6 km and yet pogo only registered 1.2! Trying to hatch as many eggs as can for the candies, got 2 squiggle this morning in work from 2 km while sitting in work, seems walking isn't worth it, just find somewhere with weak GPS reception and it clocks up nicely :(

    I opened HUD speedometer on both phones at lunchtime. They were giving completely different speeds all the time. I rode the bike fit 45 minutes at a steady 8kph and managed just two rhyhorn candies. 66% loss... I wouldn't mind du much but the avatar moves properly around the map so it looks as though it knows where I'm going and I make sure to go in large rectangles.

    I'm finding FPM takes forever to complete a scan of the area. Not worth waiting for if you're out and about

    Squares, or better yet just lines. with the 4 minute update, doing anything other than a line is not efficient. It's a real pain. I did a 10km jog and I got nowhere near KM from my eggs.

    I understand that they don't want to ping the server too often but they could at least plot your movements between interactions.:mad:

    Got myself a 10000mah power pack for the weekend 5 full iPhone charges per full pack ... intend on hitting Bull Island , City Center , Dublin Zoo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭gmonov1


    Is this in walkinstown?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭Eirebull


    Pretty much every animal is a pokestop in Dublin zoo. Well worth the visit!

    Lines are great but at some stage I have to come back to work! :D

    It's unprofessional, but fun, to be doing lines at work.

    Picked up two 10k eggs this morning. Is an increased rate of 10ks part of the halloween event?

    Not directly, but the easy availability of candy has everyone walking more and thus increasing the chances of getting one.

    I'm down to two eggs, had just the one last night, 19 pokestops and just one egg from that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭charlietheminxx


    I'm finding it hard to get eggs as well. Also running low on pokeballs for the first time in ages! The ghastly graphic isn't great on my phone either (iPhone 5c), it keeps freezing as I throw the ball.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 36,397 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    I've never once been below 8 eggs since I started.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭rustledjimmies


    If ever there was evidence of the gym side of the game in stagnation, this is it. Check out this fella propping up a low level gym in a park (well, it was low 2/3 level when I added him). Beside a playground. In Dublin city.

    Did I mention I added him on early evening Wednesday? That's roughly 4 hours short of two days and he's still in there...

    Hatched two new pokemon for me, an Ekans and a Diglett.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭brianomc


    I ran out of eggs fully earlier for the first time myself. But I was just sitting on the couch so had I gone for a walk it wouldnt have happened. I went for a walk last night to reload on eggs and came back with less than i started with. I think whereas i would often skip "trash" pokemon I've been actively catching everything in sight for the last week as i don't see these guys as often.

    It registered about 6km just having the app open for 3 hours on the couch. I had to buy eggs when a dratini appeared though.
