I have been trying to find a way to turn on the red light built into the heart rate monitor and turn it on and off without placing my finger over it. I can access the raw data from the sensor using the *#0*# menu, but I can't find a way to activate it without the HRM proximity sensor being used to trigger it. Any ideas?

Hi Just wondering if there was a way to do a custom workout in s health then add to phone. Or is there a third party app that works on the watch to do this?
Or how do I get the ''otherworkout'' to at least record my heartrate

I too would like to know if this is a possibility. Seems like a pretty major oversight in my opinion.
I lift weights and the only s health workout i can find that doesn't pause constantly and still measures my heart rate is a treadmill workout. it doesn't use the gps feature, and records my real time heart rate. I left feedback for the same exact thing on the appstore for S Health.

Absolutely. There is a definite cardio benefit, when lifting at a high enough intensity, and it's generally a good visualization for me to see what my heart rate was doing when lifting, so I know if I need to turn it up, or if I'm where I want to be.
There needs to be a "General" or Weight Lifting" option, with the continuous HR monitoring.
Come on, Samsung.
I agree entirely, Samsung needs to add a general strength training or weight training option which also records heart-rate! It is cumbersome and impractical to have individual exercises for weight training not to mention lack of HR for those exercises.
Has anybody here tested if it is possible to connect an externel heart rate monitor strap to the watch? It would be nice if you want better accuracy of the pulse. Or when you go cross country skiing in the winter and wear the watch outside the jacket.
I have a bluetooth heart rate strap from tomtom but I can not connect it to the watch and I have not find an app in the watch that supports it yet...
Maybe if you are using Endomondo perhaps...
Now I have tried some apps:
In the endomondo app on the phone you have the option to connect a bluetooth heart rate strap. My heart rate strap shows up but I am not able to connect it..
In the runkeeper app on the phone I could connect my strap. But on the app on the watch it did not show up.
In the runastic app on the watch it was easy to connect my heart rate strap .
And in Ghostracer on the phone I could add my strap in settings - sensors. And then it shows up on the watch. But on the watch both internal and external heart rate was enable so I hade to disable the internal
samsung health saying device cannot measure heart rate? s health not recognizing sensor. other sensors working
renovate 7.2 with bat kernel 1.7
When I scroll right to view the Heart Rate Tile sometimes it shows the Heart Rate Range for the day. Other times it shows the Heart Rate Now taking and displaying the current real-time heart rate.
When it is showing the Range I can't figure out how to get it to show the real-time heart rate Now.
Up until now my solution has been to power off/restart the watch. It then shows the Heart Rate Now. There must be a better way.
Thanks,
Barry.
I did some more Google searching and found this post:

I guess it's a known problem. Some of the suggestions include restarting the watch, making sure one of the two Continuous modes is selected in settings, and making sure the watch is worn correctly,
