*snip advice for finding apps for the ROM, which BT stack is in the ROM, and MS VC info*

OK, got it. That's what I was trying to figure out, thank you very much for the info.

Ok, I will do this. The amount of information at this site is overwhelming to say the least. My first stop has always been the wiki (which is what a newbie is supposed to do), followed by the forum search. I have spent days worth of time searching and reading both trying to figure things out before I posted anything (I've been reading the following the site as much as I can since the BA was the top of the line phone). Due to the amount of people always stating to check the wiki made it seem that the wiki was the final repository of information, which it isn't always per your post. This alone will help me find the info I may be looking for as I won't have to spend so much time looking both places and getting more and more frustrated in the process. :-)

Oh, believe me, I know this and don't expect the developers to drop everything, as it were, to answer any and all questions that come their way (I see enough people on some open source project mailing lists who do that already).

In fact, I went and signed up for a MSDN account today. I didn't see any info on developing for MW6, just 5 at the moment, but I hope that I will be able to give back to the community that has provided such a great resource.

Oh, I'm not offended in the least. You have provided me with good information, answered some of the sticking points I was running into, and gave me some very good advice and pointers on where to go from here. This is perfect for me. Now i know a bit more than I did before and know where to look.

I have no problem RTFMing, as it were, I just need to know where TFM is. :-D

Thanks again!

hello

is there any way to sim unlock the galaxy s+ by this date other than by code? i've unlocked a normal galaxy s back in the day but this model dosent have the nv_data file. some said its rom locked but its not true
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
I think it is the best fitness companion and here's why.

It has phone.

Heart rate monitor.

Music player with Bluetooth headset.

Light weight.

Tracks steps

GPS.

[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
I think the pedometer on the note 4 is much better then on the gear s. It says I have walked way more then my phone does. Off by about 700 steps from the phone. Watch showing more. I was in the car most of the day today so not sure how I did 2k steps.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
How much of this is because you literally do not have the phone in your hand as much as the watch on your wrist?

I am coming from the fitbit line and this watch tends to give me less credit the fitbits do.

So, I just get a base line number and improve about it.
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
Look at the photos. To me the watch is much better

[MENTION=6113918]NeatSheep[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
By the way it's measuring my steps, speed, location heart rate at the same time with a chart and a map. You can see that in the photos

[MENTION=6113918]NeatSheep[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
I will have to test it out at work as im always walking there. Maybe it is better. I never had a pedometer that was not my phone so maybe this is more accurate.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
Does the s health app give you verbal specs for while you are out? Like split times, or lap times and such?
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
Yes you you choose an exercise it will start recording the time, distance, speed, calories burned, location on the map and heart rate.

[MENTION=6113918]NeatSheep[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] richlum:
The problem with a pedometer on your wrist is that it will register steps just from the movement of you hand. If you are like me and move your hands a lot when you speak, or point a lot at a board (I'm a teacher) it registers way more steps than a pedometer attached to your hip or a phone in your pocket.

I also note that when I'm sitting at my desk, flipping pages of an article or assignment will register steps too ?
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
To be honest. If it making you move more the it's doing its job. And the normal steps they don't do much and it can tell you the healthy pace that really matters.

And you can only depend on the star an exercise function and it can tell the time you moved so you look at the chart and remove the steps that you know that are not correct.

There is may ways to solve the problem but i say if it's making you feel good and makes to want more and move more then why not.

[MENTION=6113918]NeatSheep[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] highlordkram:
I had two Nike Fuelbands, and believe you need to look at any wrist device like they do. They all give you "points", whether they call them Fuel or steps, etc. Just establish a baseline and improve from there. I put my hands on my knee during biking at the gym, and get points this way, and don't worry that the elliptical is not real steps either, and I use the poles on this machine instead of keeping my hands stationary on the smaller arm rest handles. Improvement is the key. I lost 88 lbs. this year and credit my Gear 2 very much in helping me push my goals daily. I have it set still at 11000, but today got 16,000 points for example. Have fun with it. I am loving the new Gear S too.
[Samsung Gear S] richlum:
True. If you use it to establish a baseline and set goals, it should be a good way to motivate yourself and improve.

I just laugh when it says I've 8,000 steps and I know if just sat on my ass in the office and car all day :)
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
I have never gotten that to work flipping pages.

Go through a normal day and see the number steps you get. Then set your goal higher than that. Nothing will be perfect, but that gets "you" moving more, and isn't that the goal?

[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
1) Does it have Nike+ app already?

2) Has anybody used any semi pro watch in the past? Forerunner, ambit? Just wondering how Gear S compared to those devices.
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
Yes it has a Nike+

And most pedometer not professional.

I have a Garmin GPS watch. I can compare them together if you want

[MENTION=6113918]NeatSheep[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
I have many questions.. if you can answer - that's nice. I have experience with Garmin Forerunner 620 and Endomondo mobile app. Both suites me fine. And I just want to know if Gear S can replace them.

1) How often would you need to charge it if you would do 1 hour running every second day?

2) Is heartbeat recorded during the running or after the run? Is HB recorded by Nike+ app?

3) Can Nike+ app:

- Show average pace of the last kilometer? (after each km)

- Vibrate or in any other way inform every 1km?

4) In one of the videos I've seen Endomondo icon in Gear S. Have you tried it?

- Can Gear S+Endomondo work without!! the phone? That would be ideal solution for me.

- That stuff Endomondo records during workout? GPS coordinates? Heart rate?
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
Ok lets see. First i have garmin forerunner 910xt and i stopped using it and replaced it with gear s.

1. I charge my gear s sometimes every 2 days and the fact that the charger has a battery is good for me because sometimes i change it on the way to work.

2. I didnt run with the watch but walked really fast and it kept recording my heart rate during that time.

3. Nike+ works without phone after setup(UPDATE )************

4. Endomondo don't work without the phone

[MENTION=6113918]NeatSheep[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
If Even Nike+ can't work without a phone - that's a no go for me :(

Does that mean that only Samsung fitness apps can utilize the mobility and GPS of Gear S?
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
How are you getting away with charging every 2 days? When i use the gear s for my runs it needs a charge every 11 hours.
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
Ninja, how long are your runs?
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
I am sorry. When i tried nike+ it didn't and asked me to install the app on my phone so I thought it wouldn't work without the phone and I was mistaken cuz after I run the initial setup progress and programmed my Nike app on the phone now I can use the app on the watch without connecting to the phone so you can use Nike without a phone

And the app works great but I couldn't test it properly because I don't have a data sim in my watch so it needs the internet and if you can make a wifi it will disable the GPS and when I disable the wifi on the watch to stop using the Internet the GPS signals come back again but says to me that now you don't have data connection so I think if you put a sim card with a data plan inside it it will work fine [MENTION=6113918]NeatSheep[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
As of right now, there is no working fitness app from Samsung that will work correctly with either my Gear S or Gear Fitness on my GS3. Samsung's own S Health app that supports these two new devices only works with the latest GS5, Note4 or Alpha. Older phones like GS4 can only run an older version of S Health from what I can tell. Phones like GS3 doesn't get S Heath app support at all. The only app from Samsung that can sync with either of these two devices on my GS3 is Fitness for Gear and it is only half working, as it can't sync with S Health cloud with steps and exercises. So, fitness my ass. Samsung can't even make its own software working consistently across its own product line.

The only good thing is these two devices do track those information on the device itself. But without a working app on its own phones, the ones claimed to be supported by Samsung, it's half baked at best. That's why I will not buy another Samsung smartphone until they get their act together.
[Samsung Gear S] NeatSheep:
I can use my watch for at least 2 days because I don't have a sim card inside it I think that's why and I don't use it that much and when I am sleeping I switch it off

[MENTION=6113918]NeatSheep[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
I personally don't care about Samsung Apps.

I just want third parties (for instance Endomondo) to fully utilize the Gear S hardware (heart rate, GPS etc.). If Endomondo will fully support Gear S and won't require phone - I will buy Gear S the next day.

But I assume Android Wear will get GPS sensor faster than Samsung will let Endomondo have fully functioning app for Gear S.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

Gotcha. I'm with Sprint. So I don't have a sim card, but the watch does have it's own phone line.
[Samsung Gear S] John McClane:
Hi guys and gals. I got my Gear S yesterday. I'm an avid runner ? too and currently training for a half marathon. ?

I jumped in to this device for its fitness capabilities coming from a Fitbit Force and Zephyr heart rate.

I'm also a Nike+, Endomondo and S Health user.

I upgraded to a SG-Note 4 recently and hope to get the best of these devices.

Good day!
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
I use Endomondo a lot. It's like Facebook replacement for me and my running pals.

Let me know can you continue using Endomondo with Gear S? Can you export workouts from S Heatlh of Nike+ and importo to Endomondo?
[Samsung Gear S] John McClane:
:D Indeed! I love the Nike+ Cheers especially when you've reached like your 6 or 7 mile :laugh:

Will keep posted. I'll plan to run today and see what happens. Nice to know another fellow runner.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
I can't get my heart rate data to show with endomondo. Nike + and s health show it. S health will even show a cool graph ON THE WATCH but it doesn't translate to the phone at all.
[Samsung Gear S] richlum:
Endomondo shows heart rate for me. You have to configure it on the phone app to choose the info you want displayed.

The thing that I don't like about endomondo is that when the screen goes off, if you wake it up again it shows the watch face and you have to go back into the app.

SHealth keeps showing your tracking data when you wake up the watch.

Yeah, I could change the settings to show last screen, but doing that every time I want to use endomondo is a hassle.
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
So can endomondo work without a phone nearby?
[Samsung Gear S] richlum:
No.

If it loses connection to the phone, it gives and error about being disconnected from the server.

Bear in mind though that I don't have a SIM in my Gear S. I just use a BT connection.

Maybe if it had a 3G connection to the phone it would still work? I'm not sure.
[Samsung Gear S] John McClane:
Here's my insight for yesterday's run.

It took me awhile to set up my headphones(BT) and figuring out playing music. Then having 3 apps running: Nike, S Health, and Endomondo. /sigh.....

Nike+ worked like a charm. When the Gear S turned off if I clicked the home button it will show the Nike app running.

S Health didn't recorded my run, every time I pressed the home button and tried to run the app it will pop the screen with log a new exercise. :(

As for Endomondo it worked simultaneously with Nike+. As one member pointed out, to look at the stats either scroll thru the apps and click on it, or running it from recents. I didn't tried running Endomondo without the phone, that's on my list for the next run. I do have a SIM card, so it's on my ToDo list. :)

What I liked was, controlling the Music from the Gear's Music App. It connected remotely to Poweramp on my Note4 and could literally skip music from the Gear. :victory::D

Here's the screenshot from Nike. Few Peaks on my run. :silly: Running while setting the Gear got me an erratic run :laugh::laugh::laugh::p

Wanted to chime in here. I am an avid runner too, and trying to find the best ap to run with on the phone. I don't use the sim yet, but I will soon.

Had an awesome golf course run before sunrise, but the watch didn't record it right, and those long holes can wear ya out!
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
Endomondo sent me this regarding allowing their app to work without bt connectivity.

Hi Ninja-Mom

Thanks for contacting Endomondo Support, and thanks for your feedback.*

We are currently looking in to utilizing the possibilities that the Gear S provides, but unfortunately we can't say more than that yet. Stay tuned atblog.endomondo.com!

[Samsung Gear S] barbarosg:
And what about battery ? Im wondering how long i can run with Gear s.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
For every hour I run with call forwarding, continuous hrm and gps, running app (Nike+ or s health) my battery takes a 30% hit.
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
Thanks! Then I will wait.

And can Nike+ work (track gps data) without phone? Is it possible to export Nike workout an import to Endomondo?
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
That I do not know. Will have to look.
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
Please do that.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Gear S] riverlander:
GPS and HR accuracy

I’m curious to see if a Gear S is as accurate at tracking distance and HR as a Garmin. Can anyone make a comparison? ;)
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
It has already been posted. It is as accurate as Garmin. For distance, it uses GPS data, so there should be no difference. Heart rate is not that difficult to measure either as long as you wear it correctly. The only downside of Gear S doing so is the battery life. You loss 20 to 30% of battery every hour when you track these things.
[Samsung Gear S] riverlander:
Thanks foxbat121 !!!!

Where is the comparison that you say? in this thread?
[Samsung Gear S] John McClane:
Nike+ can track gps and heart rate without needing the phone.

Exporting it to Endomondo don't think so. I tried even via web and is not possible.

Though it can be imported with Map My Run. I synced my account with Nike and all my runs appeared.
[Samsung Gear S] garaq1:
With this tool you are able to export your gps track from nike+

xhttps://mattstuehler.com/lab/NikePlus/new.html
[Samsung Gear S] John McClane:
Sounds promising. Did you tried it?

I'm a little skeptic with the idea of giving my email and password.. But that's just me.

?
[Samsung Gear S] ozaghloul:
Any cyclists here? What is the best app for biking? On the note 4 I use Sportstracker, but that's not available for the Gear S. I like the S Health app (but hate the fact that there is no web or desktop interface.)
[Samsung Gear S] garaq1:
Yes I tried it and it worked. But needet too a few hours before to think about putting in my mailadress + pw
[Samsung Gear S] John McClane:
There's also a site which imports data from Nike+, Garmin, and other apps. It doesn't import from S Health which would be great, but at least looks good.

www.smashrun.com

Edit: Seems to just import.. ?

Can't export Nike data yet...

/sigh....
[Samsung Gear S] Geletis:
S Health seems to be the only current option for cyclists with the Gear S. The Nike app doesn't have a cycling mode, just running.
[Samsung Gear S] Roastman:
I am still curious as to how effective the heart rate monitor is, in comparison to other devices. The optical HRM on my Tomtom Cardio matches near perfectly with a chest strap, so I don't want to invest in the Gear S unless it is similar.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
In comparison to my polar i found it to be quite accurate.
[Samsung Gear S] Roastman:
Thank you. I am really hesitant on this product (normally I just go out and buy), as I have both an iPhone 6 Plus and a Samsung Note 4. As a device, I like both phones, although the call quality on the iPhone is a touch better. However, the Samsung is more customisable. Decisions, decisions.... Wait for the Apple watch or splash out on the Gear S. I really want to replace my Pebble, fitness watch and my activity tracker. Both of these smart watches sound like they will do exactly that.
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
I'm not am apple girl, and I love my Gear S. So I go Gear S. But i guess you need to base your decision on which phone do you enjoy more and get the watch to compliment that phone.
[Samsung Gear S] Jeffruby:
I think the biggest issue with the gear s is poor instructions. Many are simply using the device incorrectly.

When watch is connected to the phone via bt, WiFi (or remote?) - the watch IS your phone. Won't work jogging like this. You must setup apps while phone is attached first....(one time event). Then- go to phone and disconnect gear s from phone.

Make sure gear network is on (if on auto will take over a minute before your online) - and make sure gps is on. (note- gear network can be off but you will not be able to receive text or calls on gear # or phones # (if you forwarded calls prior to disconnecting phone).

Nike and s health both work independently equally as well. Both monitor continuous hr (useless to me personally and likely hurt precious battery-cant turn off as of yet).

Both give instant pace (a bit jumpy and while the avg (can only get at end of run unfortunately) is accurate, the instant is not IMHO).

Both do not give any audio or vibratory alerts during workout (huge bummer as I like split pace alerts every mile).

Both use approx 30% per hour battery even if gear net off during run!
[Samsung Gear S] bat0nas:
30% battery per mile of running? 3 miles and you're out of juice?

Unbelievable.

Sent from my SM-N910C
[Samsung Gear S] Jeffruby:
Woops. I meant 30% per hour of running!
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
I'll make it easy for you: Get the Gear S now, and the Apple watch whenever it comes out, ... have they even committed to Q1 2015? It may be half a year until you are even able to buy one.
[Samsung Gear S] bennie joe:
While that sounds like a great solution, how do you explain to regular, non-techie people why you need to wear 2 watches? I have a similar problem, getting an iPhone 6 for work (blackberry bold is finally being retired) and love my personal Note 3... And want the smart watch experience for both, preferably in one device !
[Samsung Gear S] Roastman:
I've made a decision and ordered the watch. In a few weeks (will take about that time for it to arrive), I will be able to form an opinion either way. Another thread explained how to link this to an iPhone, so I will give that a try first (obviously will need to use the Note 4 for the initial set-up). If it does not work well with the iPhone, I'll switch back to the Note 4. It is nice to have the choice. Luckily, our phone plan for work gives us a decent tech spend each year and our staff don't tend to need the latest phone. It means we get to play!
[Samsung Gear S] Roastman:
I have been pleasantly surprised by the heart rate monitor. It compares quite well against my Tomtom Multisport Cardio and is always within a couple of beats. The minor difference can be explained by the smoothing algorithms they use, but the average heart rate over a run is nearly identical. I expected to be disappointed, but I have found that by simply tightening it one more watch and placing it in a firm position (slightly higher than I wear it as a watch), it functions perfectly. The GPS is more accurate than my old Adidas Smart Run, although the S Health app needs a web interface with decent reporting. Overall, quite happy with the watch, but it would be better with decent third party support that works with the inbuilt GPS. Currently, I believe all of the running apps (except S Health) only use the GPS of a partnered phone? I would also love to see S Health syncing with Myfitnesspal, but that is a gripe for another day.
[Samsung Gear S] Jeffruby:
Not sure if it's a new option or I missed it, but s health run on menu has an option to turn off hr monitor! When it's warmer out I'll test it for battery savings.

Like Nike app but can't turn off hr (big issue if my experiment above shows battery savings) and the colors are harder to read while running.

Both apps don't audibly give you 1 mile split times or written split times. Unreal!
[Samsung Gear S] bennie joe:
I actually contacted my fitness pal and asked them if they had plans to support the. Gear S. At the time (last November) they did not. But perhaps if more people request support, they change their mind? Can't hurt to try.
