Hopefully someone knows more about bluetooth accessories than I do (which is next to nothing)
I mountain bike often and use the endomondo application. I was just curious if the one x is compatible with heart rate monitors such as this
http://us.store.endomondo.com/collections/frontpage/products/wahoobluehr
The one x is bluetooth 4 I believe , but what is a smart ready device?
Hi Aimetti,
A bit late reply but I found this thread with Google.
I've bought a Polar H7 bluetooth heart rate sensor to use with Endomondo Sports Tracker PRO on my HTC One X.
Unfortunatly the HTC One X/Android ICS is having a issue with bluetooth smart ready (Bluetooth 4.0).
>> HERE you can read more about it.
Hopefully a hotfix will come soon.
Another update, I've returned the Polar H7.
Now I bought this >> Zephyr heartrate sensor and it works great on my HTC One X.
You can also charge it with you pc and usb cable.
I use it with Runtastic app, Endomondo is great too but Runtastic has manual input options and is a bit easier in use as Endomondo to my opinion,
manual input I need as I use the app indoor for Cardio and weight lifting (Indoor it doesn't track distance and other measures).
Thanks alot !
been a while since i posted this and forgot about it lol. I will check that one out.
Thanks again

This is a super niche question, but I thought I would give it a shot.
The photon Q comes with the hardware for Bluetooth 4, but my question is whether the motorola drivers include all the power profiles, specifically the ones needed for the low-power heart rate monitors on the market.
To give some background: several phones have the BT4 hardware, but stock ICS doesn't actually support it. The drivers motorola rolled for their phones are said to work, however (the latest razr is given as an example).
These are the specific models of HR monitor (if anyone might have them to try):
Polar H7
Wahoo Blue HR
These are different from the other other HR sensors from these companies in that they use the new Bluetooth Smart protocol for lower power consumption.
So I though it might be the battery in my device, so i replaced it... still no go.
The polar wearlink bluetooth heart rate monitor will not even show up on my nexus 5.
Any ideas? any known bluetooth issues with other devices?
Anyone else have this issue?
I'm on stock rooted nexus 5.
Link below to the polar site for the product.

Thanks all,
RR
P.S.- the polar wearlink appears to be bluetooth 2.0, it should still work on the nexus 5 bluetooth 4.0 right?
Any news or solution to this topic ? I changed my phone from Nokia/Symbian to Nexus 5 and would liek to continue using the HRM monitor. Otherwise I will start looking for an activity tracker (fitbit or equivalent) but ... before buying more gadgets would be great to find a solution.
THanks,

Hello everybody,
I have a big problem, a generic heart rate monitor (BLE) can't be used with my Xperia Z3, the phone itself manages to connect it but I am not able to use it in any app. The funny things is that it worked flawlessly with Z1 compact 2 months ago. Runtastic and Endomondo are the apps which I am using. Also, the heart rate monitor works without issues on iPhone 5.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Bump!
Hello,
I have similar problem with Xperia Z2, programs see my bluetooth smart belt but I don't get heart rate. But on Nexus 5 the belt seems to work.
+1 here. Generic BLE HR monitor works flawlessly with my friend's iphone 6 but not with my nexus 5. Tried a hell of apps like endomondo, runtastic, micoach etc. and tested with a bunch of android devices too with no sign of my heart. Think it is about android.
Probably the problem is with the version of android, both on Z1C and Z3 BLE worked on 4.4.
Hi,
I have had the Gear Sport for a few weeks and while I miss the battery life of my Pebble Time Steel and the app selection of an android wear watch, overall I am pretty happy with it apart from one thing. I bought it as a present to myself to get a bit of inspiration to be more active, mainly running and cycling. Spotify offline and GPS tracking works very well, but I wish I could say the same about heart rate monitoring. It monitors the heart rate OK when I am not active, even if it skips some of the measurements when set at 10 minute interval, but it tolerable. However, when I am running or cycling - apart for some jumps up, or down, the trend is normally just a flat line. I have tried tight strap, loose strap, re-position, inside wrist, etc, but to no avail. I have managed to track HR as it should for one run when I actively used the HR widget (while under running activity) and by that kind of forced (turning off and on a few times) the watch to track HR. Not very practical though.. I can see from the flashing IR that it is continuously trying to measure HR during activity, so apparently there is no hardware faults with my watch. For info I have also tried factory resetting the watch.
I know that wrist HR monitoring will never be accurate, but for a watch with Sport in the name I did expect better than this. Is this just one of the drawbacks with this watch, or do I have a faulty watch and should return it? Experience from other users would be highly appreciated.

For info - I gave up this watch due to the above mentioned issues and returned it in favour of a Polar M600.

Here the heart rate monitoring works ok during my gym time.
Same problem too.. I was wondering if it is a defective unit..
After month i have to say that i have no problem with mine at all.
I have had the same problem. I have tried everything like you have. Worn it tighter, looser, other wrist, other side, ect. It is completely unreliable as a fitness monitor. For something that is at a premium price, and supposed to work underwater, I am appalled that it cannot handle a basic workout without going blank. I was hoping for a patch or update but even today I am seeing the same issues. I cannot recommend this to anybody and will be jumping ship to a different brand as soon as I get another chunk of money saved up.
One thing that helped slightly during daily use was the continuous heat monitor setting.
the gear sport is a piece of **** !
Sharing Experience of your smart watch
When i was going to buy smart watch, i was not sure that it is good or not. But after buying it, its help me to manage many things. That was my first smartwatch. . It came with a small box with a watch, charging cable, and a user manual. The build quality and the touch response is amazing. Talking about the display, the display size is good with awesome screen quality. It's a phone in the size of the smartwatch. It can do all basics tasks like a smartphone. It has a sim card slot for calling, plus it also has a front camera for capturing pictures. All the pictures and music can be stored in the memory card. In addition to that, it can play songs on its inbuilt speaker.
Can I use the Gear S3 Frontier to display the output of an external (chest strap) heart rate monitor that is connected to my phone using Endomondo?
Basically I need more accuracy than the built in HR sensor and on my old LG G Watch R, I could see the output of my Garmin ANT+ HR strap connected to my S8+. So in other words, I'll still take the phone with me but want to use the phone to watch my heart rate.
Thanks.

Unfortunately no as far as I know.

There is a watch face called "Sporty Watch" by Stefan Thomas. It says it will display the HR from various chest straps. Not sure about the linkage with Endomondo. I haven't tried it yet - just read about it.

I think I've explained myself poorly....I am not interested in using the watch on its own. I just need to use Endomondo on my mobile phone and see amongst others my heart rate on the watch. This heart rate will be calculated by the Garmin heart rate strap connected to the phone. The phone is just used as a display.
It seems possible in the phone app and I think it is as i can see the same settings as used on Androidwear but would like to confirm before buying the watch.

Nope, that's just related to the watch's app. I just need to check how the watch behaves when connected to the phone....seems like it's tougher than I thought....
Same question here.
Only need is to see heart rate from my garmin heart rate sensor with ant+ connected to my galaxy s10e.
Is there a solution?
