Maybe I'll try to reset my SW3 tomorrow.

Edit:

Reset done, seems to be a bit better, but definitely GPS lock takes at least 30 secs (my estimation only, as I forgot to check Wear GPS this morning).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Minni:
So far as I know, the antenna is located in the bracelet.

Depending on the bracelet or bad contact can cause a failure of receipt.

I have the original strap (black).

Or other app

Like 'Onboard GPS for Watch'

Thanks for the links. I'll take a look.

My SW3 is the stainless model. In fact, I have to admit that the location where I start my run does not have good GPS reception. Even my iPhone Fitbit app complains about it but it will get a lock within seconds whereas my SW3 will take that much longer.

I'm using my Fitbit Charge HR with iphone to monitor my runs, and uses GR for its always on screen for the time, distance and pace. If only the SW3 has heart rate monitoring, I'll be very happy just carrying my SW3 for my runs and brisk walks.

Hopefully, in the near future, I can get the Garmin Vivoactive HR and forget about my current setup. Its cheaper than the Fenix 3 but has good support of all kinds of sports/exercises.

Good app, but I get some abnormal speed and cadence reading( I think that they are glitches that just have to be smoothed away).

I would also like to get my bike speed from the cadence sensor logged.(more data = better)

the ability to log without gps on long rides ( I think that it would save battery)

Thanks for the app, it makes the bike ride more fun....

Greetings.

Everything in my watch seem to work correctly, but I cant get ghostracer to load on my watch. Tried everything, reload phone, reboot. Every other app sync even runkeeper and fit, but not ghostracer. Had anyone reported this before?

Apreciate the help.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] neo9596:
I've got the same problem, and I did not found any solution. Same with strava or sleep as android apps. Some apps load on watch and other imposible even custom rom in watch or hard reset the phone.

The only thing I found is that needs to be updated google play services to 9.2.56. (at the watch)

Edit:

OHH while I write this post the services upgrades to 9.2.56 and sync with watch.

Best regards
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Angelelz:
Ok, reporting back.

I had to download the version 0.9.4.8 to make it work. I dont know if the problem comes from the new version or the fact that I was installing from play store.

I can't seem to get the app to sync to the watch.

I've literally tried everythingg. Restarted watch and phone, resync apps. Just wont do it!?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Simba83:
Have you tried a factory reset on the watch?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] superleeds27:
Yeah, several times. Each time it add/syncs a the apps apart from Ghostracer and Strava!? Any new apps that have the ability to sync, do.

Google Play Services on the watch won't update either, when I first got the watch it updated to 9.2, it's now stuck on 8.7.

I was wondering whether or not to backup my phone up and factory reset both the phone and watch at the same time.... I doubt this will make a difference though
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zard:
I think its a good idea to reset the phone too. Your Android version on the phone might affect your current issue.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] superleeds27:
Using the S7 with the latest July security update. Nothing's changed since this issue started. Hmm..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zard:
I'm using with OnePlus Two Oxygen OS 3.0.2 with June 1, 2016 Android security patch level. No issues with GR, Strata, Runkeeper and Runtastic Pro.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] superleeds27:
Decided the other day to backup all my apps with the Samsung app, haven't rooted this time :).

Did a factory reset of the phone, reinstalled all the apps. Did a factory reset of the watchface too.

After leaving it overnight, play services updated and the three extra apps added them, this included Strava and ghostracer.

Got a feeling it was play services related. Phone seems easier on the battery to so win/win. Thanks for the replies!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zard:
[MENTION=5812856]cjkiller[/MENTION] I have 2 requests for your consideration:

1. In Android Wear - Settings - Customise Screens, can you add color for the text fields? Each row have the option to have a color.

2. SW3 doesn't have built-in HR. I have a Fitbit HR. Is it possible to pull the HR data from the Fitbit HR before uploading to Strava or Runkeeper? At this moment, even though my Fitbit HR is linked to Strava, Strava only takes readings from GR, it doesn't combine with data from Fitbit HR.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] rbrkumaran1:
--------------------

How is the runkeeper update to your OP2 from SSW3? It records in watch and after sycn with OP2, in phone it doesnt show any content for that activity. Also, wondering to know if there is any option for Audio Cues in any of the running apps where we use SSW3 as standlone.

For now, I see Ghostracer displays better content and gives vibration based on lap setting.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zard:
Firstly, make sure that RunKeeper account is linked within GR. It's in Settings - Accounts.

After a run with GR, it will upload to RunKeeper and Strava. There's a Strava notification alerting that data had been uploaded, but not for RunKeeper. You can see under "History Icon", main page of app, top right corner icon, RunKeeper is blue icon.

Fire up your RunKeeper app, you will see your run data under Menu (top left icon - beside "Start"), Me, Activities. I noticed that even though the run data originates from SW3, distance and pace captured in Strava and RunKeeper are different, the latter figures are higher.

Strava - 6.9 km - 7.05 mins/km

RunKeeper - 7.09 km - 7.32 mins/km

Is there a way of tracking your heart rate on the smartwatch instead of using the phone via the polar h7 heart rate chest strap?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] triolight:
yes, you choose this option in the watch app. just scroll down when you see standalone mode option

Gps not Foud...

Hello.

I'm trying to use ghostracer on my Sony Smartwatch 3 in standalone mode but when I start the app can't find signal. Only stays blinking that 4 bars and can't press play for start.

What can be the problem?

Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] HTCHD2NEW:
That sometimes happens with mine, especially if I have moved some distance away from the location of my last run. I power off/on the watch and that usually helps. I've never had the issues where I can't press 'play' though (I have run a few times where the GPS hasn't worked but the watch has still recorded other run details).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bvcosta:
Hi. When this happens you turn off the watch and turn on again and then already can find the gps?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] HTCHD2NEW:
Not immediately but usually within a couple of minutes ...

Sorry for my noobishness: Offline interval training?

I don't quite neither understand my new watch or this app yet, so bear with me if there is an obvious answer to this question:

Is it possible to do an offline run with intervaltraining?

Example:

With my phone and runtastic I make a training pass with 5 min run, 1 min walk, 7 min run, 1 min walk, 2 min hightempo. Runtastic notifies me about intervals saying "next interval 7 minutes moderate" or "Next interval 1 minute slow" and the like. Is something similar possible OFFLINE with Ghostracer on the Sony Smartwatch 3? And how should it be done? I cant figure if it should via the "ghost setting" or you need to import a training pass through a third app like Strava.

Thank you very much in advance.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Mr High Tech:
Hi everyone,

I want to use the watch for running and cycling. The best application today remains Ghostracer I think.

I will like the independent use of the smartphone but I can't, the GPS is constantly looking for the position. Can you help me please ? I will see if the GPS works after putting a sweatband .. The GPS doesn't work without the phone, and no matter the application like maps or runtastic...

Thank you in advance for your help.

Paco.

PS : Sorry for my bad english, i'm french.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] HTCHD2NEW:
Hi. Its worth checking permissions on the watch, to make sure that Ghostracer can use 'Location'

Also confirm that within the app, on the phone, under 'Wearables / Android Wear Settings' that 'Force Watch GPS' is checked.

Other than that - just make sure you allow enough time (especially the first time / or if not used for a while) for the watch to locate position. This took mine 10 minutes the other day (presumably because I'd substantially moved location)

Good luck :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Mr High Tech:
I have tested lot of things but it doesn't work. I already test the GPS in developers's mode and the GPS doesn't work.

Thanks for your help, but my watch was '' broken ''. I have buying the watch just since 2 days but no GPS. I have tested all things but nothing. So I have change my watch to a new watch SW3 in my shop, and after 20-30min I have tested GPS who worked perfectly. So thanks for your help, I think the other watch have a problem who can't repair.

Hi,

perhaps someone can help me. I switched on the NFC on my Smartwatch 3, because i need this function for blood glucose monitoring. But now some Apps like Ghostracer don't appear on my watch anymore. Is this because of the downgrade to 5.xx? Thx

Can anybody help me to connect my smartwatch 3 with a bluetooth heartrate monitor?

Is ist possible with ghostracer?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] hnzlgrmpf:
If you have a Bluetooth Smart 4.0 HR sensor, simply open Ghostracer on your smartphone, go to settings, open sensors, click "+" and let it detect your sensor. Activate it with the switch if necessary. After this procedure it will be available on your SW3. You don't need to pair it with either phone or SW3 in their respective bluetooth settings.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mag13:
Ghostracer does not found my HR Sensor, but other Apps do...

I am using an OnePlus 3 with Android 7, are there any issues about it?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] justbod:
Ghostracer picks up my Tickr quickly when used on my Moto360 Sport, but the HR displayed on the watch seems to stop updating when I'm running. I will run for 5 minutes at .a pace that usually gets my HR into the 140s, but my watch shows me in the 115s. If i stop or start walking, my HR immediately jumps to the 140s. If I keep running, it will stay in the 140s.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] hnzlgrmpf:
[MENTION=1711578]mag13[/MENTION] That's strange. Have you tried contacting Ghostracer's developer about it?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mag13:
No, not yet. How can I contact him?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] hnzlgrmpf:
Try the Ghostracer page on the Play Store. It should have contact information there.

Ghostracer - Sony SW3 paired w/OPO - GPS not precise

Hi, perhaps somebody can help me.

I usually trak my trainings with ghostracer standalone on my sony smartwacth 3 and it's perfect, but recently the battery dries quickly (the watch is more than 2 years old now), so I'd like to use it paired with my OnePlus One but then the GPS tracks the training in a strange way, the distance is more or less ok but the pace is completely wrong.

Did some of you faced a this problem? Is there something I'm doing wrongly?

Thanks in advanced for the help

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Maheidem:
So, today i had a problem with GPS fix.

While running the app began to lose the fix quite often (standalone mode).

Still, losing the fix it´s not an issue in it self, but while the app (ghostracer) was trying to get a fix, I jumped to "wear gps" app, and there it show me the watch had a good fix, with more than 4 sats.....

Did anyone have this issue?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Fullpoweradonf:
Hi all !

Since wear OS update, no way to synchronize Ghostracer App. on SW3 ! Reset, factory reset ..nothing ! The application is only on the smartphone but not on the smartwatch. ..

Had same for about a month for strava and ghost racer. It is now working since an update in mid June. I am not sure what updated but I believe it was play services in the attached android tablet.

Hi, version 9.4.8.0 of Ghostracer is the latest compatible with the SW50...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] da.meniz:
Sony SW3 still works with ghostracer as of Aug 2019

I also got this problem, after upgrading the phone, and looking for solution to still use SW3

So far I managed to do Clean install of Wear OS ver 2 (last version), after sync I installed Ghostracer 9.4.8.0 (clean removed old one first), and I get my watch to work well even TICKRx HR belt works straight. I was able to add account connection for SmashRun and RunKeeper. But not Strava!

When adding strava account it gets stuck on the screen with message

"Retrieving Strava Info" and "Please wait while strava links to ghostracer"

Any tips would be welcome, as I primarily use strava. I also tried to login to strava via web browsers in android, thinking re-authorization won't be needed, but still no change. I do login to strava via FB, maybe that is a additional problem, but don't know how to change account to direct login, as none of passwords work.

So good news is that Sony SW3 can still work as of Aug 2019, but can't sync to Strava. I was also looking for another way to upload to strava, but it's not that easy. From mobile app of strava there is no option to upleoad GPX file, so probably one way is to send it to comp and upload there.

Any of you got further?

Thanks

I know thats one year appart but... how do you managed to do Clean install of Wear OS ver 2 on SW3??

Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] thorsten17:
I like to know this as well. Yesterday I had to change my phone but the apps won't sync. My approach is to install the watch apps via adb debugging like described in another threat but for Ghostracer there is no apk file (for Wear OS) in in apkmirror or similar pages.

So can anybody provide the Ghostracer apk file for the watch? Is there an option to extract this apk file from the apk file for the phone?

Or do you have some other ideas to get Ghostracer back on the watch?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] thorsten17:
Hi, I have to answer myself so that the solution is available for everybody! Finally I've got Ghostracer running on Sony Smartwatch (SW50) again. I took the tool of this threat: https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/huawei-watch/android-wear-2-0-apk-installer-t3472766

Then I've downloaded this Ghostracer version and selected the apk file in the APK wear installer tool

http://ghostracer-gps-run-and-cycle.apk.watch/0.9.7.2

This tool extracted the Wear OS apk and installed it on the watch (via adb sideloading).

I've already checked that it's running. Screens configured on the watch are visible on the watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] MrPilot:
Hello. Why are you guys not using the lastest versions of wear app, fit, ghostracer, etc?

I use the latest version avail on ghostracer. Offline maps, etc. works
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RuiFui:
How did you get to install it on the sony smartwatch 3? I'm getting the Ghostracerv1.0.4.3 apk and using the Android Wear 2.0 apk Installer but when I choose the apk, the apk installer program says "Couldn't find APK to install". How did you do it? Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] MrPilot:
Simple matter of using older wearOS app and then get play services for wear from APK mirror and install it via adb. Easy stuff. Then check your watch services are up to date. Then update wearOS on the phone and then reinstall apps with wear support or try to force app sync via wearOS app instead. You will need some patience as syncing everything Will take some time. Also during Bluetooth app transfer watch gets a little laggy. That's a good sign

My apps are Still up to date. Expect koomot, outdoor active, nav explorer, navbooks etc to sync
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RuiFui:
So, do you mean unnistalling wear os app on the phone and installing an older one? After that installing the most recent available play services for wear and install it via adb? After this update wear os on the phone? And then install the latest Ghostracer app on the phone and you say this will sync via bluetooth with some patience?

I tried installing and old wear os app but the phone didn't allow me so I thought I didn't understand you well. Should I've tried with a little newer wear os app but still old enough on the phone? Maybe it seems easy but I don't have clear what order of the procedure makes thing work and why, sorry

Thanks in advance
[Sony Smartwatch 3] MrPilot:
Try first uninstall wear APK on your phone then reinstall it from play store. Pair if it's not already paired. Then update wearos google play services with APK v. 21.26.21 and sideload it on your watch via ADB. Then reboot watch. Now reinstall apps or try resync apps on the wear app. Install "app manager" on your phone for wearos , it Should auto sync to the watch. This will notify you of any updates happening.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mikaelbeng:
Ghostracer disappeared on the watch. I got it back by installing a very old Ghostracer on the phone, 0.9.7.2. Ghostracer came back immediatley on the watch. After that I could update to latest Ghostracer. Now I can't get Strava auto upload to work. I add Strava and click on Authorize. Then I get a message saying something that http://localhost/ghostracer?XXXXX... can't be found. What can be wrong? It is possible to upload a GPX file from Ghostracer to Strava by Strava Web interface on the phone, but it would be nice if this auto upload works.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] paccX:
Try to just update ghosterunner on the phone and log in to strava, it didn't seem to remove the old wear version on the watch for me.

Got my smartwatch 3 working by updating google play services from 20.21.17 -> 20.45.16 -> 21.12.13 -> 21.39.18

over adb and then installed 9.4.8.0 of Ghostracer, after testing it out I updated ghostracer on phone

but I have not started wear os app on the phone yet fearing it might delete ghostracer.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mikaelbeng:
Ghostrunner works both on phone and on watch currently, but I have a problem with connecting Strava from Ghostrunner on the phone. I have tried to re-install both Ghostrunner and Strava, but it doesn't help. Maybe scratch the phone completely, but I don't want to. Manual update of GPX file works, but it would be nice to have the auto upload working.

Maybe it is better to use a Garmin watch instead of the problems with different version of Android Wear, and the incompatibilty with Google Play Services etc? This is an old watch, so some day it will not work at all I guess, hopefully showing the time at least, like an old-school watch :).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mertzi:
Noticed the "no gps" going away after a while when I was about to bike home. What do the numbers mean? It starts at 128 then goes down to 16, 8, 32 etc. Also I'd still like a countdown timer so you can be prepared to start running at exactly 00:00 with a good stable GPS signal. Even if you're locked early you might still only have 8 satellites. When I'm starting the GPS via developer options it takes around 10-15 seconds to have full reception, which to me is 18 satellites, but I get a lock with 8. If you just start ghostracer to get a GPS lock the screen is dimmed faster than that and if you haven't started an activity it stops searching for your position doesn't it?

And I still think a full screen mode would be great, I think you should be able to get to the stop button in as few steps as possible. The last distance I normally push myself hard and on my phone I disable screen off so I can press stop in Runkeeper at exactly 5km (that's what I usually go for).

Great app nevertheless, nice to be able to export gpx
[Sony Smartwatch 3] XorZone:
BTW, according to Google wear devs 5.0.x update should update wear fit api.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cjkiller:
New wear update.

Also on Google community page -

Looks like the new Android Wear update has broken the app. Activities are not transferring to the phone. At least in my case. Working on a new update but a few things have changed in the wear source code. Such as list views and the grid pager. So I have to fix them before I can start on anything else. Hopefully fixed by tomorrow.

[MENTION=4165538]mertzi[/MENTION] sorry never saw your post before. The numbers are the accuracy of the location. As in accurate to 8 meters and so on. Its been updated to a little status bar in the next update. The gps is only turned on when on the play page when not recording as you said. But the way I use the app is in low power mode, so when the screen dims it does not go back to the watch face it just dims. This is in the options page under Screen. This means its always looking for location before you start. Then this also shows you your stats constantly and are just one swipe away from the pause and stop.

[MENTION=1503452]XorZone[/MENTION] cheers, for the heads up. Looking at it, it should be easier to implement than the way I was going before.
