[MENTION=6415310]ColonelRunner[/MENTION] I have had problems getting gps lock the last two times I've been out, where as normally it takes seconds. I'm sure one of them was caused by the Google play api where I get gps location though. I took my phone with me on my bike but turned off GPS on the phone which normally forces the watch to use its own. But for 5 minutes I hung around waiting for signal and I wasn't until I turned off Bluetooth on my phone(breaking the connection) that I got gps signal on the watch. I'm going to do some more test on this.

Craig[/QUOTE]

Just finished a 12km run, and it took me only a few seconds to get a gps signal on my SmartWatch3 (standalone).

Everything was ok, i've had no gps freezes (no signal lost).

Maybe the 0.76 version fixed some issues or something?

Hope all will work properly again in next sessions !
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dan-htc-touch:
love this app

Just wondering if there are any plans to add sound or vibrate prompts for things like set times or distances and heart rate zones?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] timostr:
Version 0.77 crashed

Was running today and tried ghost feature (report each km). Ghostracer stopped recording GPS after 4,7 km and I did not notice vibration per km or ghost report per km (ghost interval). Btw. I rebooted watch just beforehand.

However I must admit, I have not fully understood the ghost feature.

I'm using Version 0.77 (latest). Weather was wet (rain).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jwelch010:
I probably know less about the app th

I need to find a way to lock the screen.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] oliverr871:
Put it in "Theater Mode" (double press the side button twice)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andyrtr:
Using latest Ghostracer 0.77 I can't upload or access the new gpx files anymore. Strava upload is broken now throwing an error. Runkeeper G+ login hangs here and manual gpx export gives an empty 0 kb file. Have I lost my last trainings?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ColonelRunner:
Well... just had a 10km running session, and my SW3 stopped tracking GPS after... 80 meters.... :rolleyes:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] simika:
to Mr happened with "my track" at half of my 10km..while with ghostracer I never had a problem
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Gah73:
I have a generic BT Smart heart rate Monitor.

It connects to apps on my phone no problem but will not connect to the watch.

Does anyone have any suggestions for connecting to the watch?

Also, if I need to buy a new one does the polar H7 work or the Scosche Rhythm +?

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cuckpro:
How do I set Ghostracer to default to my SmartWatch 3's built in GPS, and not the phones?

When my phone and watch are connected, Ghostracer will not work unless I have GPS on the phone on. I thought the GPS in the watch was broken, but as soon as I disconnect the watch from the phone the GPS instantly connects. When I connect it again, it stops tracking. Really frustrating as that's the whole reason I bought the SmartWatch 3 for it's built in GPS.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cjkiller:
I think this a bug in Google Play services. Before I could turn off location on the phone and the watch would use the GPS. But last time I tried I ended up having to turn off bluetooth for my watch to get GPS. Hopefully Google will fix this. Though Google want you to use the phones gps when the watch is connected to save the battery on the watch.

How about adding cadence showing while running to check efficiency? Should be easy to implement using internal step counter.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ColonelRunner:
Heart rate percent metric feature added in v.0.79 is really nice, good job @ the devs !

I always dreamt about it, thank you for making it come true :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Anyone have any luck connecting runkeeper to ghost racer via Google+? I click google, type in my information, and than it just sits on a white screen doing nothing. Any ideas?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Batman85:
Elevation gain: nice job!

What a surprise! There an elevation gain on the new v0.79 update!

It's great! Thanks a lot to the Developper(s)!!!

Maybe I'll test the accuracy of this option in the near future (for the moment I can't)

I think there is no other Android Wear applications like Ghostracer which are able to do that yet! You're the one, guy!

There is a positive elevation gain... But what about negative elevation gain? Will it be implemented on the app in the future?

Will be a way to keep summaries of our tracks directly on the watch (altitude graph, map trip, all sorts of datas, etc...)?

Thanks again for the elevation gain option! It's exactly what I need!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ColonelRunner:
Ghostracer is clearly getting the best standalone app for SmartWatch3 :good:

Keep up the good work !
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cjkiller:
I can only get it working for the standard login at the moment. I tested another fitness app and that worked the same.

Craig
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Tracked a run today, saved it, an it never showed up on the ghost racer app on my phone. So annoying. Anything I could be doing wrong?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cjkiller:
I think there is a bug shopping the saving of the database for some reason on the phone. Hopefully you have not lost the run. I added a button in the android wear settings on the phone to try re save the last activity. Try that first. If it does not appear after that, try recording on the watch again and save it. You don't have to move. This should send the old activity across again with the new one if the old one was still on the watch.

Good luck

Craig
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
That worked! Thanks a lot. Now to just try and get the auto upload feature to work.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
Sorry if i missed this, but just a quick question - despite changing the settings, the display on the watch is stuck on KM, and i can get it to show otherwise. Not the end of the world, but i am kinda a miles guy, and it is easier for my non metirc mind to read.

Is there something i should be doing on the watch, or might this just a bug..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] robcanrun:
Testing

Hi, I am running with Smartwatch3 find it very good.

Couple of things i have experienced after 2-3 runs.

Pacing seems a little hit and miss.

I can't workout how to get display in imperial measurements. (I'm English and I like my miles) is this an option?

can display show last mile/KM pace?

After stopping can there be a "discard" option as well as finish and save?

I like it though, thanks for your work on this.

No GPS

Hi just been out for a run with my new SW3 running Ghostrunner

HRM worked perfectly with my Jabra Pulse headphones

But I could not get GPS to work, just constant moving bars. Any thoughts as to why this would be?

Is there a simple way of checking that the GPS on the SW3 is actually working? Could be fault from new I guess.....

A disappointing start, but i am not giving up yet!!

Cheers

Jerry
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jerrytlr:
Update

I think this may be a faulty watch, as I have just found out about the Developer mode and tested the GPS, after a minute standing outside in the street only 1 satellite detected..... going to return it :(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Graffin:
Check if you have the location activated in the watch. I turned it off one day and forgot about it, later I couldn't understand why gps didn't work.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] redrob2:
Accuracy?

Hi all,

Let me first thank you Craig for all the amazing work you've done on this app. Fantastic work and your app is far and away the best on the market today because of your efforts.

Now I have a question for everyone else. I just purchased the SW3 a couple days ago for my wife's marathon training. Overall I like it but it's still in its infancy and not sure someone who doesn't put up with flaky tech bugs will be OK with this in the long run now. Maybe in a few months when things are more stable, but probably not now. one of the bugs I've seen a couple times now is I start a run on the watch with GPS lock and the distance never changes. I need to restart my watch and then it'll work again. I think I saw something like this mentioned in a previous post. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or can do to keep this from happening in the future?

The other issue I saw was last night I simultaneously logged a walk on my smartphone and on the SW3 (both with GR). According to Google Maps it should have been 0.70 miles. The smartphone was dead on but the SW3 was 0.75 which seemed a little odd and when training for a marathon that difference adds up. I'd have to run approximately 28.1 on the watch to get to 26.2 mi of actual distance. The math might not be correct but you get the general idea. I went and looked a the GPS tracking and the phone was smooth and very accurate. I noted where I crossed the roads and such and it lined up. I looked at the SW3 tracking and it looked like a kid drew it ... I was walking through houses and on the wrong side of the street. It wasn't THAT far off, but enough to give obviously bad readings. Just wanted to note that it was below freezing and cloudy at the time. I went out this morning to test it again and it was sunny and still below freezing to do another walk. This time it was perfect. Dead on accuracy with the phone. Any ideas about this? I can't believe it's the app, but possibly a poor GPS signal (even though both times it showed 4 bars)? Could the weather have effected the outcome? Does the SW3 have a "weak" GPS? Sorry if this isn't the place for these types of comments but I wasn't sure if it was app or hardware related.

Thanks again for your time!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jerrytlr:
now have replacement watch but ghostracer won't start...

Hi all

I have a replacement watch and synced it up but when I try and start ghostracer I get the error message "Google api on connection failed. Google Play service needs updating". Any suggestions??

Cheers

Jerry
[Sony Smartwatch 3] redrob2:
So a little update, I went out this morning for another walk and this time turned off my phone and then restarted my SW3. It picked up a GPS within 20-30 seconds and I went on ~2 mile walk. I got back and checked the GPS accuracy and this time it was VERY jagged and all over the place. It had be again walking through houses, skipping over to the next street, etc. Is this an issue with how the SW3 locks onto a GPS signal? Is it some sort of A-GPS implementation? Do I have a bad unit? It doesn't seem like a software issue but at this point I have no idea what is going on.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Batman85:
Elevation gain accracy: OK!

I've tested the accuracy of the elevation gain during à 21km trail (in a forest). Some of my friends had some specific watches, and one of us had a very precise elevation gain mesurement (his watch compare an GPS altitude signal to an barometer measurement and show very precises altitudes informations)

And the result is: on 21 km, there less than 10m differences between Ghostracer on SW3 and another specific running watch.

So for me it as precise as I need! It's perfect!

Nice job, and thanks a lot!

I'm impatient to see the next functions improvements!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] marc.knuckle:
hi guys, i will be receiving my SSM3 within days and am looking forward to playing around with it.

i have been doing a 5k each weekend and have seen some very slight improvement in my time but wanted something that could update me in real time as to whether i am ahead of my best pace, will the SSM3 and ghostracer be able to do that? i have the beta version of the app installed and ready to go.

my current times are held in the strava app and i have gone into the ghostracer app and logged in to strava.

also, is there a general tutorial for ghostracer i can have a look at while i am waiting for the SSM3?

thanks all.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crash447:
My experience is very similar to yours...when I test the GPS in the developer options I instantly pull coordinates and within just a few seconds it has found 16 satellites...however, GR only gets two bars and if I try to go on a run it drops GPS right and left. It was just suggested on Google + for me to test with Runkeeper and My Tracks to compare and see if they are having issues as well...my biggest problem if it is an issue with GR is that it is the only one that supports HR monitors.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] redrob2:
I had the same issues with runkeeper too. Although I didn't have much hope since it seemed like everyone is saying how far behind in development it is.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crash447:
I did a short test with Runkeeper and it seemed the same...did a factory reset on my watch and reinstalled Android Wear and then went to go for a run and now can't get my HR monitor paired again no matter what I try. I am still going to test runkeeper/ghostracer without HR today if I can't get HR working again in GR, but my frustration with this watch is about to hit max and I have tons of patience with technology. Maybe I am just too early to this ballgame.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] simika:
guys what can i say? unfortunatelly even Ghostracer is giving me lots of problems recently..

in the last 2 races it just got STUCK at a certain point.. so while time would still go KM would get stuck.. :(

i'm gonna try also Edmondo .. maybe try again runkeeper .. but it's a pity i can't just use my SW3 for running without " risking " to lose track of my run !

in all these months i always went running with sw3 and my " small " smartphone, that's why i didn't lose any data !
[Sony Smartwatch 3] crash447:
Like I've mentioned in the previous posts, I am beating my head against the wall with the SW3 and GPS as of late...it has just seemed to get worse and worse...makes me wonder, could this have anything to do with the most recent update to android wear and is there a way to roll it back?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] marc.knuckle:
Hi guys.

My watch is on 5.0.2 and i'm using ghostracer 0.82.

I used it today for the first time. The course shown on the map is very accurate and the time is about 30 seconds different to using strava on my phone over a ~27 minute run so it's so far very impressive.

So, for my next run I'd like to race against that previous run as either using the times such as average pace or an actual figure on a map (if that's possible on the smartwatch?) how can i make sure this works for next time?

Cheers.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Divine_Madcat:
So, sorry for a bit a bit of cross posting, but curious if Ghostrunner people have any info:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59958089&postcount=33

As noted, the refresh rate seems to be somewhat random.. Any idea if the GPS polling rate for the watch is variable, or can it do 1hz.. or...?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] eXPerience1983:
very Interesting, I want to know how to get better accuracy for GPS, I lose a lot of distance recorded compared to garmin watches. almost 30mt per KM.

just one thing, Is it possible to add an option to vibrate every KM?

Any way to select Heart Rate Monitor?, because I don't know how it will know which one to connect when I'll be on a race. It work nice when I go alone, but it is the first time I use it, so don't know how it will work on a race.

Another question, if I use it as "paired mode" will it uses phone GPS? Because altitude recorded from he watch is an aberration (I know that it is GPS problem) but my Xperia Z2 has a barometer so when I use phone GPS in other apps it should be a lot accurate (just for altitude, because I have the same problem versus Garmin watches with GPS, I lose about 30m per KM) .

Thank you a lot, Is the first time I use it, and I like it. I just want to know if it is (or will be) an option to select heart rate monitor, an option to the watch to vibrate every km and about accuracy for GPS and altitude before I pay for the PREMIUM options.

thx a lot.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] gs05:
For the KM indicator, you need to setup a ghost.

1. Go to android app and add a ghost named "Mile" and set it to 1mi or km.

2. Save it

3. Go to watch app, scroll down in screen until ghost screen and hit refresh icon

Watch will not vibrate at every 1KM with your pace

As for HRM, thats a good point and I suggest you add it to "Ghostracer Google+" forum.

Regarding the accuracy, I have no ideas as it is plenty close for me

Ghost racer export data

I've been testing Ghost racer the last couple of days on the bike side by side with my Polar setup (Speed, cadence, heart rate) and it looks quite good. I haven't added my Strava account to Ghost racer yet, so I was doing only a live comparison.

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction as the app has an export function:

1. Where are the export files stored (Android Lollipop), I can't seem to find them

2. What kind of format do they have?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sirrelevant:
Race advice - start the app and turn on your hrm before you go to the starting line. The only way it would link to someone else's hrm is if their's is also on and unpaired (and close enough) when you start the app. Once they are paired, they will only talk to each other.

You'll want to have that sorted before that point, anyway. It's a nervous enough time as it is.... get the app running, turn on your hrm, head to the start. It takes a bit to get a gps lock, too. The heart on the start screen lets you know it's connected. Just tap start at the pistol.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] flowjob:
1. Should be on the (virtual) sdcard in the folder named "Ghostracer" (Nexus 5: "sdcard/Ghostracer")

2. gpx-Format named like the Description on the history detail page of the run/ride (usually "Ghostracer *date*.gpx)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] washandje:
Found them with ES File Explorer and set it up to upload them to Google Drive.

Maybe it's out of scope for this app but I've tried Ghost racer on an (static) indoor ride yesterday, but it produced an empty gpx (Waiting for gps probably...). I would love to see this option so I can record heart rate and cadence sensor on an indoor training activity.

Is there a way to not use watch GPS when starting it from the watch?

I just want to use the watch as remote for the phone, but every time I start it from the watch it will start it using watch GPS, not phone's GPS. Phone is connected and "force watch GPS" is unchecked in settings. If I disable Location in watch settings it will just complain about GPS missing.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] freewing70:
Hello experts. Maybe someone could help me from XDA.

I'm using GR pro (I'm beta tester) on my Sony Smartwatch 3 in "stand alone" mode (no phone) for running, and have few doubts maybe you can solve.

1st PACE

The pace (the instant, not the average) is fluctuating a lot: I get 4:30" and 3 seconds after 5:20"; can you find a way to filter/optimize the instant reading?

2nd SCREEN OFF

If I set "screen off", GR after a while disappears and runs in backgroud; to see it I need to launch it again. Is this behavior correct?

3rd AUDIO

I link my SWR50 to a BT headset to run and listen to my music: I launch Google Play in the background before starting GR; today, at the 10th Km, the music stopped and I had to make it start again manually; what's up? This never happened before running other apps. Suggestions?

TIP: it would be great to have the possibility to control a playlist directly from GR.

4th SYNC

Today, after running this session:

https://www.strava.com/activities/287784941

I had a "500 error" while syncing to the phone; what did it happen?

5th QUESTION: is there a manual where I can read about all GR settings? The FAQ doesn't show all options; for example it's not evident for me the difference between screen "low power, always on, etc". I'd love to have GR as "top screen app" in totally dimmed mode: is this possible?

Thanks a lot for all patient replies you're giving

Enrico

PS

I noticed that the track recording is a bit unprecise even if GR gives full GPS signal; I think this is a SWR50 limit. Any suggestion to get a better GPS fix?﻿
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wph:
Today both Ghostracer and the Android Wear app were updated (not Android Wear on the watch) and today was the first time my workout didn't sync with Strava or Runkeeper. I'm a beta tester and I have the paid version of the app.

I tried re-adding the activity from my phone in the Ghostracer app, it said 'done' but it didn't work.

Any possibility to get my workout from the watch to sync? Or is it lost?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] freewing70:
TRY THIS:

Go outside, record a small track, then re-add your activity.

Hi all,

I've noticed i can't get a steady GPS signal anymore on my SW3 using Ghostracer - standalone.

I had a few 12km runs last couples of weeks, and it only recorded 2 or 3 km.

So i reinstalled Runkeeper to test my GPS watch and i had no problems, it recorded everything.

Does anyone know what's going on with Ghostracer?

I tried running in different places - It didn't help.

Thabk You.

0kb export files from watch

Hi,

I'm having an issue with 0kb filesize for exported runs. Cannot upload to Strava. The runs show total distance, time and avg. pace, but don't seem to contain any data. I've had it logging the entire run with HRM and it did show the data on the watch. Any way to recover the lost data or is it gone for good?

If I try to add the 0kb file as a ghost the phone app FC's.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mscano:
Hi,

Thanks to all for this great amount of usefull information,

I go walking and sometimes speed varies a lot, but it´s not real (GPS errors). It also happens with GPS altitude.

Would it be possible to have a more precise instant speed using the SW3 accelerometer/gyro signals to modify the GPS signal?¿? (like suunto/garmin fuse speed/fuse altitude)

Any way to connect a bluetooth 4.0 altimeter/barometer sensor to the app?¿? it could be used to calibrate/upgrade the GPS altitude signal, which is not very precise (these errors acummulate, and the final altitude gain/lost numbers are complety wrong)

Thanks again
