I would really like to get torque (the obd II car ECU monitoring app) smartwatch extension working properly on the smartwatch 2. Right now it works just fine, but shows up smaller than it should (in the sw1 resolution. Is there a quick way to fix this or do I have to go bug the developer?
I use Endomondo as work out app.
Currently using a Polar BT Smart heart rate monitor, and would like to connect another Bluetooth Smart/LE unit (a cadence censor). Anybody knows if it´s possible to connect TWO units at the same time on the N5?
Hello Guys,
I created this app because i have a kia sportage 2013 with basic bluetooth capabilities pickup calls and bluetooth audio.
So i tried tasker to fullfil my need but tasker was to buggy for me. So decided to create an app that will make my basic bt radio into a smart one but making sure i dont have to look at the phone as that is dangerous and i have seen my self doing stupid stuff just to check on a notification.
So the point is to use the phone but not even look at it so you can pay attention to the road.
This is the best friend (BFF) of your Bluetooth Car Radio or speaker,headsets, headphones.
Features:
-Auto play music from your default player as soon it connects to your Bluetooth device.
Ex: get in your car, turn it. phone auto connects to car and start playing music through bluetooth using your favorite player.
Get off the car bluetooth disconnects, music stops playing.
-Proximity Sensor: You can use the proximity sensor to switch to Next Track on your music player or Open Google Now!
Ex: You are driving, dont like current song, so you dont look at the phone or radio. just hover your hand over the screen and
the next track will start playing. You can also use this option to trigger the assistant and make calls, send SMS, switch to next
song by voice command or any other google voice command.
-SpeakOut incoming Notifications: you can select which apps you want the phone to speak out through your Bluetooth device once you get them, (SMS,Emails, Artist - Song information,hangouts, facebook, etc.
Ex: While driving you will get voice notification of any selected app, you can also use the proximity sensor to shut them up in
case you get something privite and you have company.
-Disable WIFI as soon you connect to your Bluetooth device and re-enable it as soon as you disconnects from bluetooth, perfect for Car rides and save battery.
-Enable Bluetooth if you get a phone call, so it can connect to your Bluetooth device without taking your phone out of your pocket.
Ex: if are into safe as much battery life as you can and dont like to enable BT or you forgot. This option will enable it for
you and connect to your car so you can go hands freeand no stress/danger by looking for your phone in your pocket.
-Max out the Call Volume as soon as you pick it up the call volume incase you turn it down by mistake and ofcourse you cant touch your phone when you drive
-Drive detection,it will enable bluetooth if you are driving a car. in case you forgot to enable BT.
Ex: if you keep BT disable you can use this option to make your phone detect when you are driving so it will auto connect
to your car. It uses GPS but it didnt take more that 1% out of my battery during my testing.
-Android Auto Integration: This option will speak out any notification from android auto.
Ex: if you are privilege and have android auto in your car you can make it shout out all new notification from the android
auto system.
-Still under development, so please bring your feedback and any idea is welcome, i just want people to stay away from their phones while driving and the only way i can do that is to make sure they still have access to the phone with out looking at it.
Thanks and i hope you like. By the way is free:

Since the builtin HR sensor kinda sucks for real fitness monitoring, I would like to use a HR strap for that. I know it's not possible to pair it directly with the watch, but I was thinking to pair it with the phone using S Health (ANT or BT sensor) and then use the strap provided HR instead of the one from the watch in fitness tracking exercises.
Any idea if that would be possible?
Yes. You can use a strap with S-health and pair it wth your phone.
But since the phone allows only 1 bluetooth device to be connected, the phone will have to be connected with the watch by other means (WIFI/LTE)
You can use hr strap with gear S3 - you need watchface called Sporty Watch
There is an option to connect the watch

Pair, you can.
But you can not use the BT connection to more that 1 device + 1 headset
Is there a way to access the HR function on the Gear S2 from my (android) phone as if it was just a HR monitor?
I know I can run an app like Samsung Health or Endomondo on the S2 and have it record my HR, but for super secret reasons known only to me I prefer to run the activity app from my phone. Sadly, in that case, I don't seem to be able to use the S2 HR function.
