Sorry guys, I need to find a wm6 program that would have a timer for me to start when I arrive at a customer's house with a programable rate (in increments of, let's say, 15 minutes, that I could start from the today screen and when I leave, would calculate an amount based on the time that I stayed. again with programable fields like hour rate, minimum (1 hour), in increments of 10/15 minutes. even cash and check rate... I know, it's kinda picky...but when i arrive at a customers house I would like to start a timer and by the time I leave I just want to look at the phone and tell them: "it's 75 dollars". It would make my life easy... and I did not find anything on the NET about this.
Thanks

Ive set my screen to turn off after 5 mins if the phones not being used.
However Im now using this timer program which will run for about 30 minutes. My phone is still switching off after 5 minutes though! Surely it shouldnt as this timer program is being ran.
here the program: http://interval-timer.com/
Please help as for now Ive got to keep changing the power profile everytime I use the timer program.
I want my gear s2 to notify me when I've reached 1.5 miles as my physical test is 1.5 miles. I can only get it to set increments of 1 miles.
I have similar problem with setting time. It only goes by 10 minutes. I can't do 12 minutes which is usually how long it takes me to run 1.5 miles.
Anyone?
So how do people work around this? I can't imagine I'm the only one
No idea. Maybe ask someone from Samsung store or email them.
I did. They said the watch was unable to do it. However I found a work around
If you set your target to 3 miles, you receive a half way target-achieved vibration.
You would manually have to stop your exercise session
Also, you will receive half-way alerts for calories and time. I made their targets high so I would never reach them.
I also use flaunt to keep my screen alive
Hi guys,
I'm using the S3 a lot for tracking my running and that's going pretty good. Really good actually. Satellites are locked super fast, in 4 or 5 seconds and tracking is accurate.
Today I tried the cycling activity. Unfortunately it does not track kms. Time and heart rate are logged but no distance.
I tried multiple times, satellite is locked, the program is running, time is ticking.
Does anybody have any experience, do I forget to do something?
Nobody tried cycling mode?
Not intentionally, a couple of times driving the S3 has decided I am cycling and offers encouragement.
If you start it manually I recall it has ALL the distance details, including a summary map. I don't think you get that if it senses a ride and starts automatically.

Well, I started it as an activity, so manually.
I'll do it again in a bit, see what happens.
With auto detecting it doesn't seem to use the GPS, like running is detected fine but no track logging.
Update : 1 just cycled 200 meters and it tracked 170. First 30 locking the satellites.
So... Why it didn't do anything yesterday, trying a bunch of times, booting in between, beats me. Maybe it's today's health update?
I'm having the same problem, walking tracks distance covered, but Cycling doesn't. Calories and time were tracked, but not distance. Really disappointing.
I use my Gear S3 to track my cycling activity all the time.
I go to the S Health app on the watch, set activity type to cycling then set a "target" based on how far I plan to cycle.
Whilst in the setup part of the watch app there are selectable options for "location" (make sure you are selecting this or it won't track where you are, which may be why you're not getting distance?)
I also select "auto pause" to pause tracking if I stop cycling. I then scroll up to the top and hit Go.
After a 3 second countdown it starts tracking my ride.
If I stop cycling briefly (at red traffic lights etc) the watch automatically pauses tracking. When I start riding again it automatically starts tracking again.
At the end of the ride I simply choose finish on the watch and confirm I wan't to finish.
It then syncs all manner of information with my phones S Health app including:
A map of the ride showing my route
Total distance (which is always with a few metres of my Cateye bike computer)
Total duration (e.g. the total time from starting the watch to hitting finish, including time the watch paused due to me being stationary)
Workout duration (the time I was actually moving)
Average & maximum speed
Average pace & maximum pace
Lowest & highest elevation
Total ascent & decent
Average & maximum heart rate
Workout calories & total calories
Weather
There is also a Selectable option to show the whole ride on a graph broken down by up to 2 options from speed/heart rate/elevation
When I used to rely on the Gear S3 workout detection to pickup my cycling, the information available at the end was very limited.
It works brilliantly when I set it manually before my ride (and only takes a few seconds too)
Do you have your phone with you while you cycle?
As I understand when your watch is connected to phone it uses phone for location.
I had a same problem and after I turned location on phone Off and than back to On problem disappeared.
Not sure if this is your problem but it is worth a try
A few days ago when I was doing absolutely nothing all day, I got about 12 minutes somehow on the 30 minute "moderate to high intensity" fitness ring but i've no idea how as every day otherwise, including today, it stays at 0.
I just went for a 45 minute run, keeping my heart rate in the aerobic and anaerobic zones - on the Huawei Health app on the phone (which oddly displays a slightly different number of steps) the ring is completed and says 41 minutes. On my watch.... still 0.
The app is connected to the watch, which is listed under "Me -> My Devices"
Any idea what's going on?
Restarted the watch, no difference.
Did a "clear data" on the app on the watch. Now the green ring works but the blue one (steps) doesn't (it stopped at 292 for some reason) - meanwhile on the phone, which has clearly synced with the watch as it has my exercise record from my 5 mile walk, it says I've done 10000 steps but 0 minutes.
Guess I'll just ignore the rings then if they're buggy, which is a shame as they're a nice feature. Alternatively might look into selling this thing and going for a Galaxy watch.
