Coming soon?

Coming soon is fine for a new movie but this product has yet to see one app released for it aside from the fitness stuff that comes with it and a ton of watch faces. The Gear Fit has things like phone dialer, contact manager, calendar, calculator, camera remote, gallery viewer, flashlight, weather station, alarm clock, voice recorder, wallet, mouse, game console, reminder and more. Gear Fit 2 can play music and health monitor, that's it. So what kind of time frame is "coming soon" (other than watch faces) as what's "going soon" will be the Gear Fit 2 back to the store if all it's going to do is fitness and play music.

Oh yeah, there's a notification customizer app that has a 1 star rating and every review says doesn't work at all.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Eddiemc:
I don't think that kind of apps are coming at all. It would be very nice if they did, but I bet samsung wants to keep some of the functionality exclusive to gear (we did get alarm clock though).

Either there's no developers interested in this device or there is simply not hardware capability (api access) to do much. It'd be nice if a developer could chime in here, because if it's a lack of access/limitation we'd know for sure.

A Camera remote would be handy..

My bet is "never":crying:

I have some usefull app on my Gear Fit 1 but 0 app on the Fit 2.

Fit 1 :

- Calendar

- Weather

- Calculator

- Color Note for some memos

- Dialer

- Phone setting : Sound, wifi, see phone batt
[Samsung Gear Fit] zigismall:
Would be problems with apps for Gear Fit 2. I heard from my friend who developed apps for watches that Samsung

doesn't allow to distribute apps for GF2 by 3rd party developers. Now there are only a few apps from Samsung on the Samsung Apps store.

Samsung behaves very bizarre...
[Samsung Gear Fit] dersie:
Gear Fit 1 have a specific OS.

Gear Fit 2 run Tizen OS like other Gear Product Gear 1,2,S,S2. Better because is Tizen, Bad because not compatible with specific Gear 1 OS.

I've created a group in Facebook to share all about the Gear Fit2. If you want to have a look or share something, you wil be welcome:

I would also want a nice face with weather. I see some out there just nothing that really works for me
[Samsung Gear Fit] dersie:
There are just the integrated face with weather complication wich works and show current weather.

All others faces have just an icon shortcut to launch the hidden weather app but it nice even though :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] zigismall:
There is no problem with creating apps for Gear Fit 2. This watch is fully compatible with Gear S2 (TizenOS 2.3.) and its developer tools (SDK).

The problem is, that Samsung dosen't allow to distribute apps for Gear Fit 2 by 3rd party developers. Now only watchfaces are allowed to distribute by developers. Finally, we have over 10000 watchfaces for GF2 but none other app like simple Calculator, Calendar, Remote phone settings or simple games.

I wrote to Samsung about missing apps for GF2. They re-sent my email to Samsung developing department and nothing so far...
[Samsung Gear Fit] dersie:
Maybe Samsung do not want users drain Fit2 battery with apps and keep the band to Fitness Only, for compare with others like Fitbit.... ?
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
Hello,

its absolutly possible to develop real apps for Fit2. I've done a calculator. But it's not possible for 3rd party devs to upload these apps to the certification process. I've managed to get 2 special exceptions for this purpose: only a Galaxy S5 Neo can install my simple Calculator. And it worked, because I got one comment from an user.

There is no battery issue or something like that. The Fit2 acts like the S2.

I think its a market thing: Fit2 should be a lower priced smart fitness tracker, nothing more. If you want more, then you have to buy the S2.

So, we - the devs - are asked to have some clever ideas: No Apps, but clever watchfaces...

Cheers,

Stefan Thomas
[Samsung Gear Fit] Wertti:
Hey, we would like to have a watch face with Dual Digital timezones. Samsung phones lock screen can handle local time from network and keep the "home time" side by side. Is it possible? Gear fit 1 had a watchface like that...

Issues purchasing watch faces

I apologize...I created a thread asking about my issues before i saw this thread. Basically I cannot purchase watch faces for my Gear Fit 2. I can purchase other apps from the Galaxy Apps store with my stored credit card but when it comes to watch faces it shows the progress bar after I try to purchase then it just goes way without completing the purchase and no error message. Any ideas? Im accessing the store via Note 7 if that matters. Everything is updated to current versions as well.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
Hi,

do you have a link to the other thread?

If you have trouble with payment, please contact Samsung Support first. If they are out of any ideas, please contact me again by mail: support@qooapps.com - may we find a way around ;)

Appears I'm not the only one with the issue.
[Samsung Gear Fit] notgreg:
I've found a new app on the Gear Fit 2 called "Lifesum". It's about taking care of what we eat, calculating calories burned...

And there is an app on the smartphone associated to the GF2 app.

By the way, I wanted yesterday to test the difficulty to create an app on tizen OS; actually it's not so difficult: at the end of the day, I was able to display on the GF2 real time heart rate, display a watch stop and display geolocation (gps) information.
[Samsung Gear Fit] gdroos:
Could you share such an app so we can see if everybody can install 3rd party apps.

[Samsung Gear Fit] notgreg:
[MENTION=318071]gdroos[/MENTION]: I think you won't be able to run it on your gear; Samsung security system; Elsewhere that would be easy for me to send my app freely (or not!) to everbody who want it and bypassing the Samsung GF2 store. But maybe there is way to test the code on only few gears.
[Samsung Gear Fit] bjhill2112:
Perhaps sharing the process for creating it... I'm assuming that each user would have to compile their own version because of the need for the security cert right?
[Samsung Gear Fit] billykxda:
New to Fit 2.

Could use a good calendar and alarm apps.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Gear Fit] dersie:
There are an Alarm app in the store. For Calendar you must use some Calendar Watchface because there are 0 (almost) apps for the Fit2.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zigismall:
It because Samsung doesn't allow to upload apps for Gear Fit 2. It should be simple band with a few health and fit apps

and thousands of watch faces.
[Samsung Gear Fit] krommenaas:
Why no apps?

So after several months the GF2 still has no custom apps (watch faces aren't apps). Does anyone know why (too hard? Samsung won't allow it?) and if it is likely to stay this way? This is hugely disappointing and makes me wish I'd bought an Android watch instead.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zigismall:
Samsung wants to have Gear Fit 2 as bracelet with a few health and fitness apps.

Developers can't create custom apps for Fit 2. Samsung doesn't allow to publish such apps.

Only watch faces created by Gear Watch Designer are allowed to publish.

You shouldn't buy Gear Fit 2, it is dying - were no apps and will not be in future.

I consider to sale my Gear Fit 2, despite it is perfect hardware but without apps,

only hundreds ugly watch faces (expect a few). Samsung has killing Gear Fit 2...

Furthermore, Samsung blocked updating existed apps/watch faces a few weeks ago. I can't update

Phone Remote Watch. I paid for it and can't get update! Developer said me, he can't cause

Samsung disallowed to publish/update apps created by tizen Web SDK.

Hopefully Samy changes its mind about Fit 2 soon. I love Fit 2 and previously I got

Gear S2, both great piece of hardware.
[Samsung Gear Fit] billykxda:
I've since figured-out how to get read-only weather and calendar events on the Fit 2.

That's all I need really. Otherwise, the Fit 2 would really be redundant to the Note 7 that is sitting a few inches away.

I agree that most watch faces are pretty awful - but there are a couple of good designs, IMO.

We need more. :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] hakarune:
How did you get calendar and weather read? What does it?
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
Most of the watchfaces, I'm developed, have this ability:

Fit Chronograph

Fit Chronograph Red

Calendar Fit Watch (can be configured in option for the bottom area)

Dual Clock (can be configured in option for the bottom area)

My next project will realize a calculator.

Cheers,

Stefan Thomas
[Samsung Gear Fit] hakarune:
Just downloaded the chronograph one to give it a whirl. It's pretty much what I planned on making for myself. Is there a way to change the weather provider or is it built into the face?
[Samsung Gear Fit] hakarune:
Can't we just sideload apps for the fit2 via BT/WiFi debugging? We could just create our own app spot here on XDA or or something and then load apps that way. I'm going to see if I can find a TPK app that's ready for the Fit2 or maybe create a simple one myself and see if it works....
[Samsung Gear Fit] Qzic:
Thank you Stefan - the Chronograph watch face is fantastic. I found it when I got my GF2, but I'm thrilled to learn it was developed by an XDAer.

I'm hoping someone makes a native app for maps. With 4gb room we have plenty for a basic navigation app and 1 state at a time kind of a deal. Most states are 100-300mb in the US. Great for hikes/ bikes and the map data is already available free all over. Just need an app to utilize them.
[Samsung Gear Fit] dingokid01:
However pairs well with a samsung device but pairing with HTC One Mini 2, android 4.4.4 , 900 MB RAM not working. The gear app. can"t see the phone somehow. Is it possible to send the band data to PC or even to have an alternative 3rd party app such like in case of older gear fit?
[Samsung Gear Fit] arielas:
Infinity :)

"Last weekend they resolved an issue with the device lists in the app submissions. Thus could be a lingering issue, or Samsung just taking longer than expected to iron out the new market sections. I'm seeing around 100 faces on Galaxy Apps right now. "

I absolutely adore your watchfaces Stefan :)

They really need to release for 3rd party apps for their platform. You could do make some seriously amazing things. Any word on when we might see more apps? I just want to make sure whatever it is, that the HRM is there.

I would like to see to see a compass, a calendar, a flashlight, calculator, and some integration with google/Android. Maybe someone will simply make an android os that can be uploaded to the dang thing through rooting. (Oh did I just say hack the planet? Oh no, I would never say such a thing while tipping my white hat and drinking tea).

I just bought my Gear Fit 2 , and your's were the first faces I saw :) Rocking a Samsung galaxy Note 4 (which i love to bits and despite PIXEL, will not abandon.) I contemplated returning this thing after realizing the lack of Apps. and getting a zen, only to find out the new Zen does not have a HRM, and that is the major thing I needed.

UGH, I am a gear deficient gadget geek suddenly. SIGH :) Make a girl happy and build me some lovely apps. <3
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
I'll do my best - an Outdoor Watchface including a compass is in progress.

[Samsung Gear Fit] arielas:
Stephan

I bought your Chronograph a little bit ago, and it is seamless. Put it in the pink tone on my black gf2. Beautiful work! If I want to use the calculator or a lamp, I just switch to your Tools Fit watchface. I am a happy. Any room to add those two to the Chronograph ?

For maps I got the navigator clock, which pulls google maps from my phone,. I downloaded way too many of these things. LOL. Now i want to make them :) Sounds like fun and a coding nightmare :) Now if i can find one with an a blue and white theme with Israeli stars floating about, and one with a NCC 1701, I am set. LOL :fingers-crossed::highfive:
[Samsung Gear Fit] arielas:
awesome Update

Love the updates you did to the Tools Watchface! Thank you! :highfive::good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
The Fit Chronograph is developed using the Gear Watch Designer aka GWD, the Tools Fit Watch is done with Tizen SDK. The GWD has very limited functionality, but access to daily health data. SDK has only hidden access to raw sensor data, but has all the flexibility for tools and stuff behind.

Merging of these watchfaces is not possible - not now :mad:

If you want to do some own projects - just do it. Ask if you have problems. Let us know your progress.

any chance of being able to use your calculator somehow?

calculator and and being able to view google keep and i would be happy
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
Samsung don't allow standalone apps from indie devs. So any functionality must be packed inside a watchface app.

Google Keep would be nice, but as far as I know they don't have an API. Does somebody know something else?

Cheers, Stefan
[Samsung Gear Fit] 5URV1V0R:
There is one watchface that has a calculater and called Tools Fit Watch. It also gives you access to all other apps exisiting on the Gear Fit 2 (like the weather, alarm, schedule, music player, etc) as well as S Health tabs
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
The calculator is part of this watchface and not a standalone app.

I know best, because I'm the dev of this watchface.

I'm developed a standalone calculator app too and this app is in the appstore, but only for the combination Fit2-Neo5.

Sound's odd.

Yes I know about this Option, but I prefer big Seconds on first page for examples instead of Count of stairs or calendar. And calendar can be by double Tap on Date, which is at the Bottom.

Gear Fit 2 manager for iOs?

Wondering if anyone has an update when the Gear Fit 2 manager will be available for iOs.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mcrzeppelin:
I recently received my gear fit 2 as part of the note 7 promotion with T-Mobile and I must say I am extremely disappointed with the amount of apps available.

I'm trying to find a similar app to this one for the gear fit 2. Its a flashlight that can flash different colors. I do a lot of night running and a flashing light in my wrist would be great to increase my visibility to others.

I have found watchfaces that include tool shortcuts to a flashlight, such as yours Stefan, and works amazing! Any possibilty to create a watchface, with a multicolor changing flashlight tool?
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
Should be no problem, but I just need more requirements: Which colors?

I would suggest du switch the colors by tapping on the bottom area and to exit by tapping on the upper area.

Next time I start flahslight, should the last color appear or everytime white?

Cheers

Stefan
[Samsung Gear Fit] mcrzeppelin:
That's me for the prompt response Stefan. I think kusr defaulting back to the last color uses would be best. Like a red light each time would work perfectly!

navigation app that send notifications

Although I have the Gear Navigator app on my phone which works with the Navigator Clock Fit to show maps and navigation assistance on the Gear Fit 2, this is not the best software for mapping/navigation.

So I was wondering for navigation: the gear fit 2 can display all the notifications that are shown on the phone. Are there any navigation apps in Android that give their directions with a notification? Because then at least the directions can be read on the Gear Fit 2?
[Samsung Gear Fit] sondi89:
Hello, I have read everything from the page 1 and having a problem with my gf2 few questions came to me. First question is about steps counting system. When watch faces are created I assume steps are taken from built in counter? I would love to be able to at least turn off steps and floors counters as they keep counting when I drive or just shake my hand. (it is because of a counting system that recognises shakes of your arm and consider it as walking.) I am a truck driver and have to take the gf2 off to stay accurate. Is it possible to turn it off or create separate counting system ?

Other than that my gf2 is quite OK...

Any thoughts or ideas?
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
What about your app?

Is it approved?

I've tried to upload a Fit2 app, but got no devices.

Seems it's still not possible.

Cheers,

Stefan
[Samsung Gear Fit] mikeathome:
It would be wonderful to have an app which works like a GPS data logger, combining the accelerator sensor with the GPS and the barometric sensor and then recording a GPS track while you are on the move (and actually only when you move, not like the usual GPS logger which keeps recording until you switch it off).

Similar to the Walking/Hiking exercise app. Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to get the GPS log from the GF2 for a walk. It must be there somewhere, since it is used to produce the map!

The file-system on the GF2 is locked and cannot be accessed for these data unless you're root. I looked at it using the SDB bridge to no avail.

That's a pity, it would make this device so useful!
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
When you've done an exercise, using the standard app, you can see this walk/run/whatever in S-Health app on your smartphone. There is an option (on the bottom of the view) to export as GPX on the mobile.

Is it working for you or do you need something more?

Maybe when you're walking/hiking, you want to have a lower data rate to save battery?

Cheers,

Stefan
[Samsung Gear Fit] mikeathome:
I have the iOS (Beta) version of S-health, there's no option to export a logged track. I can't check it out on a Samsung (I don't have one). I've not seen any reports about this feature yet. Can you post a picture or an sample track...

It would be awesome if this is working!

Q: Is it using the barometric sensor, and does it store the altitude in the track log? How is the barometric pressure calibrated to the corresponding altitude for a specific weather status?

Is it using the accelerator sensor to stop logging when you're not moving (I guess so, since it uses the data for S-health, which counts only distance traveled, steps).

It would be great to get some answers. Are you the developer of the GPS Status Watch face?

When I setup the Tizen Studio yesterday (new version released yesterday) I saw there's no Project template for the Fit2 yet. Did you develop everything from scratch?

On the data rate:

I would recommend to program it in a way, that it takes a sample every ten steps counted, that way it stops logging when there's no 'step' events comming.

Before logging, a calibration of the barometric sensor would be required (in case someone wants to record accurate altitude in the GPS log). Like: Show altitude at norm pressure and let the user change it ot the real altitude (+- dial in 5m steps) and a reset button). Makes sense?

If someone is up to it I would contribute with technical information about GPX/KML and barometric pressure/altitude calculation... I am not a coder, some JS knowledge. I have a homepage which show GPX tracks on various map-sources. PM me if you want to check this out.

cheers, Thomas
[Samsung Gear Fit] qooapps:
Hi Thomas,

you're using iOS - that's difficult to Android, that I'm using.

I've done some GPS based projects - GPS Info Watch is one of them :D

But I've never checked altitude. I also cannot clearly say, if it's possible the get data directly from barometric sensor. I think it's only used internally and mabye only for doing floor climbing counter. It would be very hard to develop your logic combined with step counter - which is also not really taken out via API.

In Tizen Studio you can use the Tizen Wearable 2.3.1 Template. In the next step select Watch. :cool:

That's it.

Cheers,

Stefan
