barometer?

Besides the NFC and the Gyro, I believe it was advertised that NS have the Barometer, but I have checked the built in apps and also apps on the market, seems that none uses it? Is there any simple app that let me have the barometer reading?

Uh where did you her this?

It was in a lot of news when it first came out, however it is not in google's spec page

No but Gingerbread has an API to support one:
Gyroscope and other new sensors, for improved 3D motion processing
Android 2.3 adds API support for several new sensor types, including gyroscope, rotation vector, linear acceleration, gravity, and barometer sensors. Applications can use the new sensors in combination with any other sensors available on the device, to track three-dimensional device motion and orientation change with high precision and accuracy. For example, a game application could use readings from a gyroscope and accelerometer on the device to recognize complex user gestures and motions, such as tilt, spin, thrust, and slice.

What would one use a barometer in a mobile phone for

I thought barometers measured atmospheric pressure, which is usually used to forecast weather. In a phone that has a million ways to receive live weather updates from reliable and high-tech weather stations, this seems a bit pointless.

It would be nice to have an app that publishes pressure readings. I think having an accurate realtime map of this information can help a lot in local weather prediction. What about a seti like app for weather prediction?

everyone needs one to run around like would be storm chasers

Yep! You beat me to it. My sports watch/heart rate monitor (Suunto T-6c) has an altimeter in it (must be barometer based) to track altitude.
I suppose the GPS in our phones can do the same thing; seems like neither technology is particularly accurate at altitude in our consumer level devices, though.

Well, for one moment I thought that Google will use all the barometers in our phones to predict weather that will be more accurate than that of the stations!

Barometer for altimeter seems pointless since gps position querying a map program can find out for you...

So you want a barometer, well you'll have to get one of these:

Anyway, was anybody able to use barometer in Nexus?

[APP] iCare Health Monitor - Measure blood pressure by phone

Your smartphone has a secret superpower: With its camera and flash alone and your finger touch the screen, it can measure your blood pressure, heart rate, SpO2, breath rate.
iCare Health Monitor can measure blood pressure,heart rate,vision,hearing,SpO2,breath rate by the phone
That means that apps are available to track your blood pressure, heart rate, with the aim of helping you improve your health.
EASY TO USE:
1. Pressing the screen with your finger.
2. Lightly place your index finger on the rear camera. Make sure the camera is fully covered.
3. Hold until the measurement is complete.
NOTE:
1. Do not press too hard, otherwise blood circulation will be altered and the results could be
affected
2. When using a smartphone or tablet without a LED flashlight, be sure to take the measurement in a well-lit area (bright daylight works best)
3. Remain calm and try not to move too much during the measurement, as this can compromise measurement accuracy
4. Since the camera and flash are not professional acquisition equipment, We recommend that you measure more than once.
No extra devices needed, iCare Health Monitor is designed for people to measure the following physiological parameters: blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen, vision, hearing, lung capacity, emotion, Autism-spectrum, color blindness, pulse wave, Psychology and other physical data.
✓ The world's 1st blood pressure measurement APP
✓ The world's 1st continuous heart rate measurement APP
✓ The world's 1st blood lipid measurements APP
✓ The world's 1st pulse wave acquisition and analysis software

2. For more than 95% of users, blood pressure error：Within plus or minus 12
3. For more than 92% of users, blood Oxygen error：Within plus or minus 2
4. Identification and accuracy of high blood cholesterol more than 80%
The pulse wave can reflect the dynamic changes of blood pressure well, but there is certain deviation while indicating precise value of blood pressure. Input calibration value can effectively reduce the errors.
The more you test, the more precise the result will be.

[APP] New Altimeter app - working core, collecting suggestions for design

Hi,
I want to do a little survey about redesign my app. Somebody may remember it - Elevation Tracker (here you can find some info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/app-elevation-tracker-gear-app-store-t3635451). I'm using it for a year and I want to find out if there will be enough interest from users.
Mission
To make the most out of the Gear S3's barometric data.
Default Altimeter has nice design, but it's not so practical.
Features
Algorithm for automatic recognizing of altitude change due to movement or barometric change due to weather. Example: You are sitting in the office for 4 hours withnout movement, than took a lunch in the kitchen - two floors higher, then come back for another 4 hours. The weather changes during the day, raining...
Samsung's altimeter: Shows growing the altitude, because the pressure decreases. Looks like you ascended 50m, descended 6m.
This app: Altitude is polished by Suunto algorithm (rule = alti change less than 2 meters in 2 minuts is marked as weather change). It shows you exacly ascended 6m and descended 6m. Graph is clearly flat when you are sitting, ignoring weather changes.
Ascended and descended elevation counter in selected interval. You can go 30 days back in precision of 1 minute. Of course, only if Gear S3 is turned on. Otherwise, gap if filled by flat line.
Using the bezel, you can read single altitude at specified time (date pickers, time pickers implemented). At specified time, you can calibrate altitude, which is taken as reference point for whole selected interval.
Graph shows MIN / MAX.
Main problem
It's not possible to support Tizen OS 2.3 and 3.0 at the same time. That's the reason I deleted the app from store. I updated it to support OS 3.0, but many users are still on 2.3 (I don't know why). Samsung did there very very bad job, unpossible to support both OS at the same time. Also, OS 3.0 is full of bugs for developers, but that is another story...
I like the circle graph. But most of you don't. So I want to add other layouts, recommended by you!
What I need from you
Do you want to use this app? Are you using Tizen OS 3.0? (app will not support OS 2.3)
Please help me with layout, post here some samples. It is easy to redesign the app now, because I have working core. But when I look at Garmin Fenix 5 or Suunto Spartan (see layouts in attached files) altimeters, I'm not sure if that is what the most pople want.
What another function you would like to see in the app?
Donate would be nice - in XDA profile The app will be always free, as it's mainly for me
Other...
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.
Thank you so much for ideas!!

Hey mate,
i've been here on XDA for a while now, but you got my attention enough to finally make an account.
I'd love to support you and your app, but first of all, it needs to be downloadable in Europe (Gears S3 frontier, without LTE).
As a gliderpilot this App could be a real help.
Some ideas include:
- Increase and decrease of altitude (in ft/min and m/s)
- Warning at: above, below, passing through a certain height
- Time between heights (interesting for high altitude hikers as well, like: above XXX ft for YY minutes)
As a pilot I also would like to see the glide slope, but this wouldn't fit into this app.
I'd like to offer my help as developer. I'm goood in C#/Photoshop but never have written something for Tizen. I would need some advice.
Otherwise i could offer a donation (but prefer to work^^)
Greetings
Diego

Hi Diego,
thank you for your post!
About developing for Tizen - it's a bit nightmare It is not difficult, the problem is OS bugs and no compatibility between different versions of OS, which cause bad reviews, which caused suspend of my apps in store. I want to support only latest OS for Gear S3.
Overall, it's not a problem to code your ideas at all. I'm using chart.js, where it's possible to graph almost everything.
I'm using this app a lot by myself, but I deleted it from the store, because OS 3.0 has a bug with rotary bezel (bezel is frozen after date/time picker shows) and I don't want to receive bad reviews. I may rename it as "beta" and post it again...
About your effort, it would be really helpful to design a layout in Photoshop. Than I can try to code it.
As the app is now working in history mode (browsing collected data (1 sample minute)), I would imagine splitting the app for
REAL-TIME mode (new)
HISTORY mode
So, what do you think about making some layouts?
Thanks!

Really interested in this app for Tizen 3.0.
Will it be available in the app store at some point?

Hi Dev,
Thanks for your work.
I used and installed your app, but as many users say, the 360 deg chart is counter-intuitive and ended up uninstalling.
I very much prefer the Suunto one, Garmin in second place.
Altitude charts always with linear x-y axis in my opinion, very intuitive.
Have you considered using altitude data based on location (like Strava does) instead of relying on barometric changes?
If the chart was linear I'd be happy to use again and donate.
IIRC, it was somewhat intricate to pick the timespan for the chart -don't remember the details.
Thanks

Hello,
but many users are still on 2.3 (I don't know why) => because there is not Tizen os 3 on some devices (Gear S2 for instance).
I’ve just reset my watch because I have to change my phone.
There is no way to get all old apps
Dashboard Watchface and altimeter for exemple disappears from my watch and there is no possibility to get it from Galaxy store.
What a shame. This is planned obsolescence.
