Since our Galaxy Note has a barometer sensor inside, it would be nice to have some applications that can monitor atmospheric pressure changes.
I found two of them in Market, Barometer HD and Barograph. Barometer HD has poor graphics and no logging options and Barograph is nice but drains battery like hell. Are there other applicatons to monitor pressure changes ?
Right now I do not not the name but it can be found through S-choice (Samsung Apps).
The name is AndroSensor.

AndroSensor is working very very good for all sensors, including the barometer. thank you!
I think AndroSensor's main purpose is to see all the sensors on the device and check their state. It's not intended to monitor a special sensor and graphics are a bit spartan.
AndroSensor is like an app that checks your hardware running well, it seems that it cannot be use as a daily tool.
*#0*# - menu "Sensor"
If you press there "Barometer Selftest" you get the current temperature in C (celsius).

No, the g-sensor is not a magnetic detector, common sense. One detects gravitational fields, the other detects magnetic fields, the two are not interchangeable..... thread should be closed/deleted
You can use the GPS as a compass kind of: http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/
Not as good as a real compass but better than nothing.

Yeah something like that will require movement in order to determine the bearing, which is about as good as the hardware can do. The other option is to use Google Maps - the map is always oriented North-South, so if you can spot a couple of landmarks around you, then orientate the phone to those, then the phone itself will point North.
Cheers,
Steve.

The geocaching application GCz shows you where the sun should be at the current time on it's GPS display. So assuming it's not so overcast you can't see exactly where the sun is, it's very easy to orientate yourself and get a north reference.

WTF
Why would that be then?
with TF101 & android 3.2 ( todays update ),
astro tools ( stars map viewer ) have vertical maps motions then tablet is moved horizontally
compass : North is pointing West
bubble levels : also 90 deg error
candle : flamebending with 90 deg errors versus gravity
I m surprised I did not find similar issus raised : is it a general and known issue, or is it a hardware issue of my tablet and I should send it back ?
Some apps aren't tablet optimized. Strange though, the compass shouldn't be effected though. Mine points north in Google Maps and Locus, maybe it's the app? I think I've used compass before and it uses the accelerometer, not the hardware compass.
i wanted to checked on Maps, but do not find the compass option, is there an add-onor something like to get compass ith maps?
( Maps version is 5.6.1)
thanks,
EDIT : I tried "Navigation" instead of "Maps" ( very similar except the map remains in the same direction versus ground ) , and the North , and north arrow are both in the right direction.
It seems it is not a Hardware issue , rather a software issue ...
Indeed other feedbacks would be interresting
EDIT 2 :
according to catch ( app "compass" ) this is due to the last honeycomb update ...
... very bad joke of g : all the apps for tablets would need to be updated if using magnetometer and it seems accelerometer too !
Yeah to get the compass in Google Maps, you have to use the rotate swipe gesture. Put 2 finger tips on the screen and rotate in the direction you want.
I like my S2 classic much mostly for it`s design and battery life, but there are features that I miss much.
Lets write down wishlist for future updates. Maybe someone makes this come true!
I will update OP periodically
Sleep tracking
Camera remote shutter
Analog tachymeter app
Shazam app to recognize music
It sucks that the S2 lacks quite a few apps I hope in the future it gains more dev support especially with iphone compatibility if Samsung make the S2 work 100% with the iphone's that is. However most of those features you can get on the S2.
For sleep tracking there is GNight costs £1.99 and for the Camera there is Camera controller which is free. This is UK market though so might be different in other countries I don't know.
I would add Samsung Pay for the UK market.
Wishlist
What I need most of all is a modified Nike+ app that shows my heart rate constantly while I'm running in big numerals. It sounds so simple. I love the Nike+ app but it just doesn't have the ability to make this simple adjustment to the settings. Not everybody is interested mainly in how FAR they run/jog.
I am far more interested in what manner I run/jog.
I'd love to see improved GPS performance. Also, would be great if Samsung allowed apps to communicate with phone apps not via Bluetooth, so that the watch can fully work when connected to the phone remotely (kinda takes the point out of the 3g version if most apps only work if the phone is around.
.
like to have more kindes of Sports, like gym, Ski for the Trainings app.

I can buy Gnight for $1.99, but I need sleep tracking app with full Shealth integration.
The only thing I want is android wear with the current ui. Because the UI is literally the only good thing about tizen on a smart watch.
I would love to see Wunderlist (ToDo List App) coming to the S2. It's the only thing that I really miss.

please?
allow wake up gesture to be set to last viewed instead of always defaulting to the watchface.
PIA when using an app, like music player for example, then after a timeout the wake up gesture will show the watchface instead of the music player.

It would be nice to have the option indeed when needed.
Re. your example there are currently three workarounds; music widget next to WF, setting to double click, and dragging down from top of screen then clicking. Granted not as easy as raising your arm but not too bad.
I'd simply like to be able to reorder my WF's. How hard can that be!!?:silly:

Agreed.
Perhaps the attached is worth looking at (hit the store today). Just a thought.

Strength Training app just released in the U.S. Gear store by Samsung India. Also Skimble-linked Workout trainer app, Pear Gear app, and Rossignol's Ski Pursuit are available. I don't know if they're any good, but they do exist.
I would love to have tunein. Power amp extension. hotspot and better always on watch faces
1. Enable mic for calls - I often have the phone in my pocket with headphones on.. would be nice not to have to pull out the phone just to answer a call.
2. Guitar Tuner app - I'm working on writing my own, actually. Seems an ideal use case.
3. Improved SDK and documentation for writing apps - the current SDK is rather easy to "break" and hard to install and get working and although there's some decent documentation online it's fragmented and hard to find exactly what you need.
4. Google Now app or extension.
more blue tooth setting like naming each connection and being able to use mono audio like in android to listen to tunein radio when available if ever

2's more niche, but as a guitar teacher it'd be a godsend.

I thought the watch does not have gps? it only gets the data it needs to put it in maps app from your phone (connected through bluetooth/wifi)
Hi, I wrote new free app and I want to share share it! Please feel free to comment your ideas/proposals/bugs in this topic.
Link to the gear store: http://apps.samsung.com/gear/appDetail.as?appId=NDkpJCxaQ6
************ Gear app store detail *************
By default, Gear S3 is saving pressure data every minute 30 days back. By default, you only got Alti/Baro app capable to show only last 6 hours of this data.
I wrote an app, which can use this resource to:
- Show circle graph of altitude according to selected interval (TAU date/time picker).
- Calculate, what barometric change is due to weather or real altitude change.[*]
- Count you ascended and descended elevation.
- You can read every piece of data (date + altitude[**]) by bezel turning.
My idea of using this app is:
-You are on trail and you can switch Gear S3 to offline mode with display turned off. At evening, in basecamp, you can analyse altitude data. Or event after 30 days!
-During working day, you can easily track when did you used elevator, went the steps etc...
The process of loading a new data (when you select new interval):
1. Graph of barometric pressure[blue] ->
2. Graph of calculated altitude[orange] ->
3. Graph of polished altitude[green], now bezel is enabled.
As this is first release, please let me know here, if I should continue implementing this
If you are interested enough, please donate me (via XDA profile) to support future development :victory:
[*] If altitude changes more than 2 meters in 2 minutes, it is marked as altitude.
[**] Now without any calibration, forced to 1013 hPa. But this app is not altimeter and ASC/DSC meters can be calculated without nearly any difference.
I still don't see why Samsung won't let me view the contents of their store using my computer. It is sometimes more convenient for me to see the info on a larger screen!!! But that is not your issue!
I guess the link is if you are on a Samsung (other??) phone or the Gear watch.
We tackle the app a bit later.
Cool Tool!
Thank you! I really like the app Maybe you could make scrolling adaptive so that the step size increases when you scroll more.

Hi, thanks! There is already fast scrooling implemented - if you rotate bezel fast enough (< 0.3 sec between steps), the speed of scrooling is growing. Did you mean this?

Oh, cool! I did not notice. However, for me, it is still rather slow. Would it be possible to increase the speed even further, or to even skip to the next elevation jump to see its time?
Magnificent app!!!
Could you make it a widget also?
Im not sure but maybe your app des problem with shealth floors counter. When i open your app, i think it didnt count floors. I must reopen shealth app.

I'm sure my app can't cause this kind of problem. It only reads shared public data. It is like watching televison at home, you can't influence other TV watchers in their houses.
App looks really promising. I notice that some text isn't aligned/positioned correctly

Yeah, I noticed this on new Tizen 3.0, which is rolling now. Many apps in store has now problem, I will update it as soon as possible.
Hi, looks like a great app. Just what I am looking for. It is not available in my country. Can you please post a link to it or suggest how I can load it. Thanks!
Loaded app but don't see any data
I went into it on my gear s3.. It asks me for a E my home Altitude.. I enter it. Hit save and reset..
Everytime I open the app it asks for that same info?
Can't find the app on gear store. Any ideas?
Hi,
Sorry if I am a bit out of subject but up to now her is the better place that seems to match my research...
I have a Gear S3 Frotier paired with a OnePlus 3, and I wondered if it exists an application capable of "mirroring" the sensors data (mainly baro and alti) to the phone, just as if those sensors were present in the phone ?
I guess I'm just dreaming for such a feature, but as I'm not a developper so I just can't figure out what is possible or not with Android / Samsung SDK....
Thanks forward for you kind replies.

Hi, this is happening if you performed update OS 2.3 ->3.0 without reset. Upgrade process destroyed many apps, Samsung doesn't want to help developers and we have no clue how to fix apps for OS 3.0. Sorry, I deleted all my apps because Samsung is unable to publish any material for developers about OS 3.0 upgrade and what is causing problems with sensors. API is the same, but apps won't work.
I gave it chance (here in forum), but no one is able to help. Reset works, but it is a dirty solution.
When Samsung finally answers me, I will update the app to the working version for OS 3.0.
Is there any reason why I can't download the app from the store in France? Is the restriction intended?
App Download
Hey thank you so much for developping this app I was looking for an app like this ever since i bought my S3 Gear. However i'm having problems downloading this app it says not available in your country or not compatible. I have a samsung S9 plus and an S3 frontier Gear. Is there an updated link or a way to install it?
Thank you.
I'm a galaxy Watch owner, why i cannot download this app from the store for localization problem?
I'm not able to locate the app at all, Is it still out there?
Hi, why can't I download it on my gear sport? Samsung says "app isn't available in your country or for your device"
Hi all,
I have just released the production-ready v1.0 of the app Battly. Battly is the cross-device battery monitor application. If you have multiple Android phones/tablets it is a really frustrating task to remember what's the battery level and when to charge of each device. If you want to monitor the battery level, health, temperature of all of your device from a single screen try it out.
Some of the other features I added...
- A real-time notification? when any of your devices gets low battery, fully charged
- Any of your devices is over-heating or having overvoltage while charging.
- A home screen widget to help you quickly take a look of the battery status of all of your device right on the home screen.
To add devices, simply install Battly app on each one you want to monitor and link them with your account by simply scanning the QR code.
I am still trying to make Battly easy to use and more feature-full so you don't have to remember when to charge which device.? I will love to hear your feedback (even on the play store description?), feature requests and any possible bug?.
