HI Run Enthusiasts,
Who is running? and which Bluetooth heart rate monitors are you using with your Samsung galaxy s3 Mini?
Can any one recommend this one or is there a cheaper one out?
Thanks
Hello I actually do not run. But my Dad use this heart rate app. Instant Heart Rate is the most accurate Heart Rate Monitor app for any smartphone and it does not need any external hardware.

I'm looking for help finding a good fitness app. I have the Zepher hxm heart rate monitor. I am looking for an app that will track constant calories burned using data sent from the hrm. It seems that most of the apps either don't use the data from the hrm in its calorie count or they only use the average heart rate from the work out. I would like the app to accurately and continuously track my calories burned not just an average from the work out. A lot of my work outs may are interval type where my heart rate is up high only for short bursts of the work out. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello everyone!
I'd like to know if it's possible to measure my heart rate using the S-Health App while running / doing a workout.
The app lets me measure my heartrate manually, but it won't influcence for example the calories I burned or other statistics.
Isn't there a way to measure my heartrate (intervalls) and let it be part of my statistics and workouts?
(Sorry for my not so good english)
Thanks in advance and cheers from Germany
While I don't know if the heart rate sensor could read your heart rate while running, measuring your heart rate every 5 minutes would not be very precise image of the intensity of the run.
Distance and time spent running would actually be a better. So either get a chest strap that measures heart rate continuously or just input the time and distance manually.
Thanks for your reply.
Question is: if I get a chest strap, will my heart rate then be part of my statistics during workouts automatically?
And yes... in some slow workout parts I am easily able to measure my heartrate on my S6 still running.
The heart rate sensor on the phone definitely won't help you while running. You have to get your finger on it just perfectly and hold really still. I find it absolutely the worst and most useless feature on the phone.
As for whether a chest strap would integrate with S Health, not sure, but I'm sure you could probably find a better app out there somewhere with chest strap support.
I frequently go on long runs with my Gear S2, which is paired to my Galaxy S7.
When I start the "Running" with a goal of 3.0 miles from my phone, it DOES give me an update through my headphones every half mile regarding my pace and distance, but it DOES NOT continuously monitor my heart rate so I can view it after.

Is there no way to get both the audio guide and the continuous heart rate monitoring? It seems the HRM only activates if you start the exercise through the watch, but the watch does not give any audio cues.
In my experience, running both the watch and the phone together is very troublesome. I have the same setup as you. In the end I needed to decide whether I want to run only with the watch or only with my s7. It is really dumb in my opinion. Both devices are Samsung's flagships but they don't play well at all together.

My phone is Galaxy Note 4 N910U. There is no heart rate option available in my S health. I run official Marshmallow amd have rooted it. Please help me. How do i get the heart rate option back?.
I have a watch 2 classic and it looks like the heart rate sensor works fine only up to 110-120bpm. After sports when my heart rate is way more than 150bpm it always shows something in the 110-120bpm range.
I don't care if it is off by +-5bpm, but being off by 40+ is definitely not ok. I understand that movement during sports could pose a problem, but that happens after I sit down and am not moving at all.
Does the heart rate sensor work for you normally for higher bpms?
If it does, then I should probably send it to be repaired.

looking at my data via the Huawei Health app over the past few weeks, there have been a few instances (when running) when my heart rate got above 175. maybe the watch is not registering your heart rate during those peak times, so it only catches it on the way down?

I doubt it. I have tried it many times using google fit, huawei health or just by launching the heart beat app. My heart rate was definitely much higher at that time than the watch measured.
Does it only peak for you or is it above e.g. 150 for a longer time?

so looking at my 18-min 2-mile run on Tuesday, my heart rate was above 150 from 8:08am to 8:16am. keep in mind that my rest heart rate is about 55. i know that's a small sample, so maybe I'll test on an elliptical machine next time I go to the gym.

I think that's a good sample. Now I know that the sensor should be working and it's obviously not. I've only seen it peak a few times above 150 and then it was back to 110-120. I'll check if my brother's watch can measure my bpm correctly and if my watch can measure his bpm correctly. Then I'll definitely know if the watch is a problem or there's something with me
