[Samsung Gear Fit] geokirby:
I don't think this feature is supported with OpenFit. I had to use a display samsung mobile with the official GearFit app at a shop to change the language of my device to my prefered one. If you do it once, it stays then to that language if you always keep it charged. My gear changed to the factory langauge of the device after leaving it uncharged for months. So I guess if you always charge it before the battery runs off the settings and the language will stay.

I'm having the same issue as well on my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact (6.0.1) but not with all messaging applications. For me it is just threema that gets double notifications. On facebook messenger I get the notifications only once, like it is supposed to.

Another issue I am having is that, except for SMS and email, the notifications on my gear for messaging apps (facebook messenger and threema in my case) don't include the senders name. While I was still using the official GearFit app, it used to be included. Open fit just sends the text but not the senders name, which can get confusing, even the more when you get two or three messages from diferent people. Is there a way to fix that? Please :D

Another thing I am missing from the official app would be being able to use "Gear Fit Quick Settings" as a 3rd party app for my gear. It would allow to activate or deaktive mobile data, wifi, vibration etc of the mobile phone using just the gear. Is there a way of having such a fuctionality with OpenFit too? Or would it be to much trouble?

In general I am really happy this app exists. My gear fit would be just useless otherwise after my Samsung Galaxy S4mini died and I decided getting another non Samsung mobile. It even works better than the official app, having more stable connection and reconecting way more quickly. I am not sure if it is true, but I think it might drain less battery life from the gear like the official app did. I have the feeling that my gear lasts one day longer with OpenFit than before when I was using the official app. And last but not least. At last (after bying the premium) google fit integration and it works like a charm. I never liked Samsung fit. It seemed too heavy.

Thanks [MENTION=2992563]jareddlc[/MENTION] for this app :victory::good:

I mean your phone software. Check if there is new software available, I'm not on newest on my G4. I believe it's v20g-EUR-XXX, not sure how it looks on G4c but should be similar. Mine has 2016-07-01 security patches(maybe this has anything to do with it but I don't think so)

Hello yes I am running latest v20d android 6.0 based on the July security release.

So it's not that, I think that my phone since it has only 1mb of ram is closing the open fit app that is running on the background and when it reloads it loses all its settings...

Hi guys,

sorry if my question given away was paid a thousand times, but I would ask if it's possible to use this app for connect gear fit2 to MotoG 2015 (so not Samsung and only 1Gb of RAM ...).

Or if you know a way to do it .. Thanks so much

Hello, I'm not English, so I apologize in advance for the mistakes. I have been using the application for a short time. I am on Huawei Mate 9. And I would like to know if the option to change the wallpaper was planned, or existing if so, or. thank you in advance
[Samsung Gear Fit] nicholasmorassutti:
Guys, congratulations for providing this app for free. The idea is great. I would gladly pay for the full version if I could make it work with my Samsung Galaxy J7 (in Brazil). I'm still trying to figure out how to connect my Gear Fit 2 with it and up to now I've had no success.

Thanks for your initiative and if anyone could give me any hint on how to solve this problem, I'd appreciate.

[Samsung Gear Fit] Giogts:
i have problem with android 7.1.1 nougat, lost often the connection with the app...
[Samsung Gear Fit] action_papst:
As a workaround I kill the app long pressing back button (a nice feature you can find in dev settings). After a restart of the app I can use my gear1 all day.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jareddlc:
Hello and sorry. I've been busy with work and projects. Even though this started out as a simple project for myself, it has grown very large. I am happy for all the people using my first app. I havent had anytime to update Open Fit, and I still get alot of user questions sent via email. I was thinking it may be worth while trying to develop a new app or updated version that will support Gear Fit, Gear Fit 2, Gear S2, etc. However I'm not sure when I can start work on that project. However doing that still wont solve requests that people have been asking for. It was a hard task trying to reverse engineer the features it currently has, and one of the most requested is to allow language change, but I was unsuccessful in implementing, I did not figure out which command it sent to set the language, I was able to see all the text go to the device but no success. I may need some logs if i want to revisit that.

Weather is broken. The API limit has been exceeding. I think the service changed their pricing plan so I will also need to find a solution to this.
[Samsung Gear Fit] eiric:
Hi jareddlc,

And don't be sorry, you already did a great job!

Would you consider to include the Gear 1 (SM-V7000) in your "etc"? :)

We all are orpheans not to be able to use it with non-samsung phones anymore.
[Samsung Gear Fit] razor001_:
Thanks for the update on the project... Regarding the weather APIs... Why not use Yahoo weather API?. Not saying you should, but at least Cyanogenmod uses that one (with a plugin) and its working fine and it gives very exact weather prognostications.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Giogts:
i try it every day but after some minutes it stop to notify

plese improve only the actual functional with nougat....

Any thoughts For gear fit2 ?

Is there any way the openfit can be modified to suit to gear fit 2 ?

Very nice work indeed.

Gear Fit 2 in Open Fit ?

Hello jareddlc,

Thank you for the great work so far.

I have a Gear Fit 2 and do not get them connected to my Galaxy S3 Mini with CM13. The Samsung app "Samsung Gear" does not find the Gear :(.

I would be very happy if you can extend your app for the Gear Fit 2.

Thanks in advance.

Hello first time user with Open Source paired to an OPPO R9. Other than google fit is there another fitness app that will sync the gear fit data? I noticed S Health won't sync with the data from Open Source any help would be great.

Any progress regarding Gear Fit 2 compatibility?
[Samsung Gear Fit] gff1stof3:
Same question here Fit 2 wont work on my Moto G5+

Apparently Samsung doesn't like my Moto G5+ and won't allow their app to install. Says my device is incompatible. Would love open source support for the Fit 2.
[Samsung Gear Fit] pirpank:
Hi, i recently acquired samsung gear fit device.

And the only way i can connect to gearfit is with OpenFit apk.

Most of the things work but i can't reply with short messages and i cant get alarms to work.

Is there a way to get alarm working on Android 7.1?

I am using standard Android clock.

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear Fit] mudnightoil:
Is there a workaround for making the basic functions of the app work without Play Services installed?

I can't install it even if I wanted to, due to the terms of my contract.

For an 'open' app, mandatory Google Play Services seems a bit strange if you're just using the basic pairing function.

P.S. Using Gear Fit 2 Pro.

Multiple notifications

On Nexus 5x using both stock Nougat and Oreo I am getting multiple notifications for each notification.

One notification will be the real notification.

The next notification will be a blank template (OpenFit Title - OpenFit Email).

Any ideas?

I am using the Gear Fit firmware that was recommended in post 1 as well.
[Samsung Gear Fit] jdmst77:
My gear fit2 wouldn't work with my LG G3 (incompatible) so I went to apkmirror and installed a few apps (Samsung Gear & Samsung Health), a plugin (Gear Fit Plugin), and a service (Samsung Accessory Service). It works perfectly with my device now
[Samsung Gear Fit] egret17:
I'm using Open Fit with an original Gear Fit, paired with a Nexus 6P, which is enrolled in the Android Beta Program (the only way to get security updates, as the 6P has aged out of Google's support). Yesterday the phone updated to Android 8.1.0 and now all of the notifications on my Gear Fit are in an Asian character set instead of English. Any suggestions on how to set things back to English?
[Samsung Gear Fit] SmokeThatSkinWagon:
Thanks for the info! I'm looking to give a gear fit2 to the wife (stock nexus 5x) as an Xmas gift, but I thought I'd pick your brain if you don't mind.

Are you rooted or stock? Is this solution still working well for you?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Shiki~:
Hello everyone.

I just updated my old samsung to a custom rom, and OFC gear fit manager does not work anymore.

So I'm looking forward trying this one.

Is OpenFit_8-22-2015.apk the last one ? (cannot find the apk on google play)

Somehow I cannot install it... I'm on android 7.1

Thanks
[Samsung Gear Fit] jdmst77:
Rooted stock no clue how it would work with a nexus 5x. Hope you got it on the black Friday sale. They may still have them for $70 on slickdeals. At that price, it's a good deal. Target has the Pro on sale for double

So sorry if this has already been answered, but I just got a pixel 2 after using Samsungs for years, I got this app and it was working perfectly, but now it is showing my texts and calls in Chinese (I think) characters and I have not been able to fix it. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear Fit] TsuNoDan:
App removed from Play Store, use Gear Fit Pro Lite / Gear Fit Pro. For me works excelent!
[Samsung Gear Fit] jareddlc:
^ This developer forked OpenFit and added abit more features, but the base is still OpenFit

Sorry guys, Google removed OpenFit from the play store due to me not including a privacy policy inside the app. Once i get some free time I will be updating it include a privacy policy, and hopefully shortly after an updated version of the app which refactors code and introduces a new UI. No promises on a deadline, but as soon as I get some free time to update I will. Usually the best place to report issues is on the github project, as i dont check XDA often.

regarding the asian like characters on android 8 someone already reported it today on github, and i'll take a look at whats going on once i get the update ready. thanks again guys for using OpenFit.

It works. For anyone who had my issue, clear all Open Fit Data and turn off everything but bluetooth (not sure if that applied) then do not pair beforehand and simply scan then click on the device and connect. I love you Jarred, thanks for this amazing app!
[Samsung Gear Fit] gundam70:
thanks agan jarred..
[Samsung Gear Fit] daniel3ub:
Hello! Thanks for the app!!!

What's the correct way to use the Gear Fit as an alarm with Open Fit? I see I can get notifications from the stock clock app, but it doesn't trigger anything when an alarm goes off.

However as soon as I dismiss the alarm on the phone, I get a notification on the Fit. Not really useful :)

How do you use the Fit as alarm? Or you just don't?

Thanks!

SM-R350 notification language

I connected my gear fit to my pixel phone and the watch works fine and all menus are in English. However, any notifications that come in (phone call, text, email) all show on the gear fit in Korean. If I pair the gear fit with a Samsung phone and use Gear Fit Manager, notifications come through in English. Any ideas how to fix the notification language?
[Samsung Gear Fit] otter24:
for about a week my gearfit notifications (weather, maps, and texts) are displaying in Chinese. I have an LG nexus and none of my apps on the phone are wrong, just the watch. I've reset it twice now and no luck. I live in US and haven't ever been in Chinese time zones ????????

New update

So good to see a new update for our beloved Open Fit!

Thanks for the Dev :)

Waiting for version 2 coming soon!

Bugs remaining I have see so far:

- Wrong icons notifications (I.e WhatsApp notifications shows like SMS icon)

- Media controller stop working after disconnect Gear Fit (needs do uncheck and check again option to recover function of media controller).

- missing option to change wallpaper

Once again, very thanks for the Developer in keeping this project alive!

[Samsung Gear Fit] jareddlc:
Sorry guys, I have been lagging, but an update will be released. I'm aiming to finish work on my current project, and then start working on the Open Fit update as soon as next week. This update will be mainly a UI update and user experience improvements. I hope to get some new features in, but those usually involve some form of reverse engineering. Does anyone have any features they would like to see? Here a list of what I plan to fix:

* Weather

* Language change (hopefully)

* Improve GoogleFit sync
[Samsung Gear Fit] Arkham42:
Update and new features

Thanks for the reply!

Good to see our beloved project is still alive.

In terms of features, I would appreciate the option to Change Wallpaper and Change Clock Models. That would be awesome.

But for me, the most important thing would be the fix of wrong Icons displayed on notifications.

Example: When I receive an WhatsApp notification, my gear fit shows the SMS icon notifications instead of WhatsApp icon.

This fix would be much appreciated.

Good luck in your other project. I hope you finish that soon and come back for us. :D

I'd love to save my progress for more than a few days. As far as I know, I can now see the stats for the past week or so. Would be nice to have that with unlimited amounts of time. Also pie charts.

I know that's a lot to ask for, but as you were looking for feature requests I thought I might just ask for these :3

Thanks a lot for your awesome work

Been with the project since beginning and great work, just question i had it working great on Android 7 with my lg text would show vertical like my watch display rotation, now with my new phone watch on vertical text come through horizontal. I don't know if i did something last time to get to work correctly the watch was put away for a year, used on 7 again fine for awhile but on 8 seems to have this bug.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Arkham42:
Text rotation

I use Gear Fit 1.

For me, the option to show text vertical or horizontal is made on the Gear Fit itself (Settings > Display), NOT in the Open Fit app.

Try to find this option on your Gear Fit. I belive the app do not control this settings.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Danieldan5152:
You mean Settings > Display > Rotate Screen with the options Horizontal and Vertical, if this is what you mean I have it set to vertical it shows the interface in vertical but when I recieve a message from my phone it displays it horizontal before on my old lg g5 it use to display vertical with display selected vertical. What android you running because if I'm not mistaken it use to be one of the things that we had to over come in the begining of this apps development.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Arkham42:
Yes, that is what I mean.

I'm running Android 7 on Motorola G3 Turbo
[Samsung Gear Fit] Danieldan5152:
See on my android 7 device it was also working fine that is why I ask about it here I mean it could be a new bug to do with android 8.1 someone else has experienced it? [MENTION=2992563]jareddlc[/MENTION] any reports you know of with this bug, I mean not end of the world but worth mentioning since it worked fine previous OS versions. Phone is Nokia 7 Plus android one device 8.1 May 1, 2018 patch

I see.

Indeed this could be a new found bug on Android 8.

Anyone else using Android 8 can confirm this?

I have a pixel 2XL and have been using the app for a few years now and have recommended it to several family and friends. I have never experienced any issues until a few days ago. My phone upgraded to Android pie and whenever I receive a phone call, it causes the open fit app to crash and disconnect. I can go back into the app and connect to the phone and everything seems to work again (until I receive the next phone call). I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. Thanks,
[Samsung Gear Fit] Arkham42:
So it seems that Open Fit is not behaving 100% on new Android versions (Oreo and Pie).

But I belive this kind of bugs related to new OS will be corrected on the next update.

Waiting eager for new release!
[Samsung Gear Fit] bertino:
Are you even able to connect on pie?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Arkham42:
I don't have Pie.

I'm using Open Fit successfully on a Moto G3 Nougat.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Arkham42:
I am still confident and eager for new version. Checking this thread in time to time.

Blessings to the Developer and all the users!
[Samsung Gear Fit] JohnnyBoy662:
Fingers crossed for that. I currently use the 'Gear Fit Pro' app solely because 'Open Fit' doesn't support language changes. Good luck and thanks for the effort!

[Samsung Gear Fit] jareddlc:
Sorry, its been too long. I am currently working on rewriting the app using google's Flutter SDK. I have made some progress and I'm hopeful i will actually update the app soon (maybe 2 months?) Why change to flutter, If things go well, I've decided to try to add support for multiple watches since i no longer use the Gear Fit, and Switched over to a FitBit, i plan to add support for a few more watches like Gear S2, Gear S3, Gear Fit 2, and some fitbit watches as well. This way I can hopefully maintain the app given I will actually be using it. But im sure all of you are tired of me saying an update is coming, and nothing ever being delivered. Its a rewrite from scratch, here is an image:

I'm not certain if this app can be made available as an update, because im still learning flutter, and do not know yet if its possible. If i cannot I will simply create a "new" app in google play and update the current version with a message saying to download the "new" version or something like that.

For some reason, weather widget is not working on my Gear Fit 1.

My android's phone version is 9.

And by the way, weather functionality is working right away with gear fit pro light. (But I don't get call notifications with this one...)

Any ideas?

[Samsung Gear Fit] EliasAlucard:
Good initiative. This app has the potential to replace all smartband apps. Please make it compatible with Sony SmartBand 2 as well (in other words, an open source replacement for Sony Lifelog and its SmartBand 2 app). And a WearFit2.0 replacement as well, because the WearFit apps suck.

There's no good reason to limit this app to Samsung armbands.

By the way, which open source license is this released under? The GPLv3 is the best open source license to publish FOSS software.
