[Q] One x and heart rate monitors via bluetooth

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

Jawbone UP24

I'm going to start doing Cross Country this upcoming school year and my teacher recommended I buy an activity tracker. I just wanted to know if anyone is using/has used the Jawbone UP24 with their Nexus 5 and how their experience has been? Any incompatibilities?

i have the jawbone up24, syncs without problem to my nexus 5 (via bluetooth)
typically, i leave BT off on my nexus 5 and only sync at 12pm and 5pm. there isn't a way to disable BT on the up24 itself, but it uses BLE, so low energy usage(up24 w/ BT = 7 days battery time, up w/o BT = 10 days)
nexus 5 itself has a pedometer... if you run with your nexus 5, maybe you don't need a separate item? (typically, i feel nexus 5 overcounts my steps vs the up24)
don't really do much running (mostly gym weights / cardio). bought it more for the smart alarm feature
amazon recently added a new section for wearables and activity tracker

BLE Heart rate can't connect

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.

Bluetooth issues

I pretty much love this phone. It would be my ideal device if it had double-tap-to-wake. As it is, I could almost learn to live with using the fingerprint scanner (which I avoid using on all of my other phones) to unlock, but I finally encountered a deal breaker.
I have had all kinds of bluetooth issues. I have a lot of connected devices and I've been encountering the following:
Gear S3 constantly disconnects (even when it's really close to the phone)
Fitbit will not sync
Car Stereo Bluetooth profile deleted itself
AirPods break up, have static, or completely cut out
Here's the thing. I went back to my V20 and I don't have any of these issues. The Fitbit always syncs, the AirPods work flawlessly, the Gear S3 NEVER disconnects, and my car stereo has never disconnected. I have to believe it's a bluetooth stack issue. Perhaps the proprietary processor is to blame. But with all of the bluetooth devices I use on a daily basis, I can't live with this.
I really want to keep the phone, but I think I'm going to have to return it. That sucks because there's nothing else really like it on the market for me. But after all of the testing I've done, I can't draw any other conclusion. Maybe a software update might fix it in the future, but I can't take that chance.
I'm sure some of you will chime in and say "I'm not having any of these issues". That's great. I'm fairly certain you don't have the exact same devices/combination I've listed here. The fact is, my currently daily setup does not mesh with this phone. I still have my Mate 8, but I haven't tested this combination of devices with it yet.

I also have a big issue with this phone's Bluetooth. I can't pair it with a 2014 Pajero. Any other phone works perfect when paired with the car but this one cannot even pair. I always get "pairing failed".
I tried every oprtion and pairing application and still no success.
I know mate 9 has bluetooth 4.2 but it should be backward compatible.
Anyone has a solution or similar issue?

I wonder what firmware version your mate is on.
I'm running MHA-L29C432B138 and I have no problems with my Gear S3, nor with my Mazda bluetooth hookup.

Yeap, latest B138 version.
Gear S3 is fine. Only issue is the car connection

B138 here.
Won't connect to my 451 Bosch Highline car radio (they can't even see each other).
Connects fine to my laptops (Win & MacOS), BT speakers and Xiaomi Roidmi.

I have the U.S. unlocked model. So, unless there's something specific about the firmware on that model, I don't know what to tell you. I have tested this repeatedly with all of my Bluetooth devices. Nothing works as it should, especially compared to my other phones. It would be interesting to see if I have the same issues on the Europe firmware, but I'm not flashing it to find out.

This bluetooth seems to be issue with this phone, does anyone know if this is something huewei is working on to fix or its an android issue ?

I hate to be the guy that says "mine works blah blah blah" but I've got multiple devices connected through Bluetooth and have yet to have an issue on any of them. 2 Ford vehicles running Android auto, 3 Bluetooth speakers and a set of Bluetooth headphones.
With that said, I wonder if your actual device is faulty. Has anyone with the issues done a factory reset? If so I'd be contacting Huawei support.

I have same issue as describe. My tought is mate 9 do not accept Bluetooth multipoint connection... 2 devices with same profil cannot be connected in same time

I am wondering if the manufacturer is aware of the issue or not but to me it seems more of a Android nogut issue than anything else

I have the same issue. The Mate 9 takes about 3 minutes to pair with my car where my LGV10 automatically did it within seconds. It also does not seem capable of handling being paired with multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time. It has to be disconnected from one and wait to pair with the next one. For cars, I have tried it with both a Tesla and a Jeep GC and the I have the same problem.

It's interesting and frustrating how different people have different experiences.
As you'll see from my sig area, I am on US version, with 183 firmware. Interesting too, I had first tried a V20, and left it because of BT issues. As you are probably expecting to hear given my intro statement, I am not having BT issues. But, I am on different phone and firmware from most posts here.
I've only had my phone a couple weeks. When I received it it was on 138, and the GPS didn't work at all. Was about to box it back up and send back, but then checked, and had the update. After update, it's been great for me so far.
I'm not sure how different the 138 is from my US phone and yours...but a common thread for problems seems to be (based on this thread) is 138.

Heart rate monitoring during activity

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.
