Hey those of you lucky enough to have the GS6 early.
Quick question as I have read conflicting reports of Google fit not working with the GS6 and/or making the heart rate sensor on all the time.
Is this the case? I know I can use S Health which seems to be ok - but it doesn't work with Android wear so Google fit is pretty important to me.
Google fit works and the heart rate monitor is not on all of the time like it was/is on the S5

you see some people have said this. But them some have said it does make the HR sensor stay on.
The issue before was with the auto activity detection I think.

You have to turn Activity Detection off.
I was impacted by this and had the heart rate monitor going off whenever it was in my pocket or when I would set it down on a table. It seems Google has acknowledged this at some level as the S6 is no longer listed as a compatible device for Google Fit on Google Play.

Which kind of makes it pointless doesn't it?
Still doesn't work
Google Fit still isn't compatible with the S6.. I hope they will fix that soon, Android Wear keeps telling me to activate Google Fit on my phone but I can't.
well that just blows i track all of my stuff on there...
Well, this sucks. I use Fit, too. Just realized it wasn't running on my new S6, went to install, says it's not compatible. Anybody got an .apk for a side-load?

Sure, just remember to go into the settings and disable activity detection. This should prevent the heart rate monitor bug from draining your battery.
One question. If you disable the activity tracking will android wear watch still send the activity? Thanks

Nope, unfortunately with fit installed my watch says I have 500 steps today but my S6 says I have 0 steps. Very frustrating, wish there was some app that could send the data without needing the phone to have activity detection
So I just installed Google Fit on my G920I after the AOD3 OTA. Before the OTA (AOBQ) Google Fit was shown as incompatible, but now it's shown as compatible and I installed it. I have the activity detection on and it seems that the heart rate monitor bug is fixed because the monitor light is not on unless I use it on S Health. Can anyone confirm?
Confirmed on my Galaxy S6 edge. Installed Google Fit and it works nicely.
Google Fit has been updated and can be installed on the S6 today directly from the Play Store.

And it helps?
But why cant I use the heart rate sensor from within Google Fit? I don't want to use S-Health. On my smart watch Fit can measure my heartrate too, so it should work with the S6-sensor as well, right?

No way in the app to turn it off that I can see.

I would use App Ops that are baked into some ROMs (if using custom ROM with this addition) or Play Store the App Ops to see if, by using root, you can access this feature to restrict the Location for the wallet app.
Turning off NFC might help as well.

Just looked it up and it's not Google Wallet itself that is causing the issue, rather over all location services. You'll probably want to read a bit on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48051661

I have the same problem and it turns out because Google Wallet have "Offers", which always use Location Services (GPS, Wifi, etc.) to find the "relevant" offers (discounts, etc.) in your area.
I use Google Wallet for payment, but I do NOT need the "Offers" feature. In prior version of Google Wallet, I believe the "Offers" feature is disabled. However, now it is FORCED upon you. I don't see any settings in the Google Wallet app to disable "Offers". Anyone know?

And just turn off location to everything you don't want having the access. It's a great battery saver too!

I have used AppsOps to turn off Location Reporting for Google Wallet, but it seems something is still running that cause Google Wallet to keep causing this issue.
On a sidenote, I froze Google+. It still show up in App Ops for some reason and I see under "Location", it said it was last accessed 4 days ago. Thing is, Google+ is frozen and I got th ephone 2 weeks ago. So something is still running even if the app is in this state. I ended up uninstallign Google+
So I don't know if Google Wallet have the same thing...
It stopped happening after I finished setting up my account with a credit card and whatnot.

I know what you mean, was annoying to get pop-up offers when driving around. Looking into it, with Wallet open and on the main screen touch the 3 bar icon in the upper left. Hit " settings" then "notifications". On this screen just make sure "nearby items" is switched off (2nd option to the bottom). I hope this helps!

" SpO2 stands for Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. It is an estimation of the oxygen saturation level. Oxygen saturation is a term referring to the concentration of oxygen in the blood. It measures the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream occupied by oxygen"
So it just measure the % oxygen it your blood . I know the Note 4 has this sensor, but does the Note Edge have it to??

Yes, the note edge have the same sensors as the note 4. You are going to find out on Shealth application that option. I just checked mine and is there.

What would they call that sensor,if it was on the phone?
My System Info Pro doesn't list anything like that on my phone.
Yes it is definitely there, in some countries they disable some of the sensors and tests in S-Health

Thank you for the reply. I dont know why they would disable the sensor in South Africa. But thank you for the reply!
For me the Health app showed the sensor on original unrooted german rom. ...

Hey all!
So today I found this app which should let browse the web. The TinyWeb - which is the name - is nicely written and intuitive application with english menu and set of bookmarks from the beginning. Also it is a standalone app.

Seems awesome? Yes. BUT there is this little problem - it cannot access network for me. I tried using Gear S2 classic with connection to the phone (LTE) and without phone (Gear's WiFi). But it doesn't work.
Does it work for You?
I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE APP NOR ADVERTISING IT
You have to disable bluetooth connection with wifi connection on. Works fine once you do that.
It works for me, but only with a direct Wifi connection (not trough the phone).
Same here. Seems like this may be related to that of below. Maybe Gear Manager for generic Android (not samsung) is missing the bluetooth / host-wifi bridge as there is no setting for it on my Xperia.
stackoverflow.com/questions/33849806/tizen-standalone-wearable-app-with-internet-access
I get an error when trying to install.
W0:WO:-1005
Where do I find this? I don't see it in the play store.
@Firehead thanks for the tip! It does work now, cool
@mills23 it is in the Samsung's shop for Gear S2. Maybe not available for Your region or something.
I am using gear s2
And in it also tinyweb is not working on both Bluetooth and WiFi
Seems to only work with wifi on however I don't need to disable bluetooth but would be better if it did work via bluetooth hopefully in a future update. Also was a pain to log into Facebook, most of the time the keyboard popped up but then disappeared after like a second and the times it did stay up I'd type my email (which isn't a quick thing to do on the S2 keyboard) to find it didn't actually enter anything in the text box. Though finally did get myself logged in but then when I went to go on it later it didn't keep me logged in so still a few issues.
Also would like if when zoomed in I could pan right the way to the corners of the webpage.
It works on s2 gear 3g in 3g mode. I'm impressed with this app considering the limitations of the tiny circular screen.
Props to the dev!
I installed it on my gear and then someone try to login to my emails account and etc.. Maybe by brute force. I changed my password everywhere for sure. So be carefulle after instalation of this app.
Could someone made a video showing TinyWeb in action for other users please .
It works now with the BT version, connection, so no need to switch to wifi only.
Was able to read the news and go on facebook. No brute force so far.
TinyWeb is no longer in the app store, is it unsafe to use then?
Is there any place/way to get a copy of tinyweb?

If someone explain me how to, i can extract the app.

hi there
really enjoying my mate 30 pro , i do miss ''hey google'' and google pay , i know there is no work around for ''hey google'' yet but i had an idea about nfc payments
you can use a galaxy watch with other android phones , you can also use that watch with samsung pay , has anyone succesfully set up samsung pay with a mate 30 pro via their galaxy watch and used it to pay in store via nfc?
it could be a nice little work around especially if you use a galaxy watch already
thanks everyone

Does the Samsung Pay function on Samsung Galaxy Watch work when paired with Huawei P40 Pro handset? I have not been able to get Samsung Pay even appear. Previously with P20 Pro, it worked and payments got through. Please see the screenshot of the error I get when I try to install the Watch Plug-in APK by brute force - any way to overcome it?

Really? You mean that with Aurora i can download my purchased app and to have them licensed just like on google store? For example i can download my Nova license key with no problem?
And if i want to buy a new app? I can buy it on Aurora and then use the app also from google store on my second phone? In this case the google store will see that app like purchased?

Thank you! I'm using it now, it's working great!
Hi:
It's not available for my GW4, can you post the APK to sideload it?
Hi great watchface, but i can only directly Install it on my GW4 with no configuration possibilites... On my Pixel 7 Pro i get the Info that this app is not compatible with my devices
Can you please also provider it for GW4 and Pixel Phone. Thx
Thank you!!!, It's already available....amazing watch face!!
Thx a lot. It is also working for me now. But If i add the Pulse or Others health indicators it only Shows the Icon (e.g. the Heart) instead of the Pulse. But i gave the permission :-(
It is still not available in Poland
In the play application it does not work ... but through the browser it works
Thanks for the watch face. It's very nice! I have a Samsung Watch 5 (non-pro) and I only see the heart icon, it does not show the frequency itself. Where can I find this "cardiogram" complication? I can't see the screenshot you referred to.
Do you think this watch face will have strong impact on battery life?
Thanks!
Thanks for replying. I will monitor the battery life now that I am using your watchface.
I believe this "cardiogram" is a separate application that needs to be installed. It's not the same as the built-in heart rate app that comes with the watch.
Am I to dumb to find it or how to change the general style (as you said there are multiple watchface styles included)?
(I guess I'm on latest version, installed yesterday and now update showing. I'm from germany)
Strange, I don't have these options. Neither ok watch nor in galaxy wearable app.
This it how it looks for me:

Thanks for the update!
Unfortunately, the heart rate number after choosing the native heart rate is not displayed in real time. I am obligated to tap on it to get a current measurement. It's not working as the heart rate complication on Samsung watch faces that updates the frequency in real-time.
Your theme for smart watch should be in the top!
How to enable seconds in concentric native?
Hello! This is amazing! Since I am quite sad that the original doesn't have the AOD fix.
By any chance, will you add a feature supporting multiple copies of concentric native to the favorite? I am using Bixby routine, and I want to swap to face 1 with a set of complications I use during work and face 2 for commute/exercise.
I know you blow up the font a bit but also by any chance would you also release the font size same as google?
Google's pill shape circle at the mins and second is slightly slimer.
Anyway great job!
I use this as my daily! I love this watch face and haven't found one single thing wrong with it. Your work is outstanding and I want to say thank you!
my favourite watch face for watch 5 pro. took me a long time to find it after I lost it (had to change watches) so maybe make sure it is searchable in PLay as Analog Native? Great work
