Disable step tracker in S-Health - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
I like the s-health but would like to do it on my terms and want to disable step tracker. However, when I pull it back to off it always goes back to the on. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it possible to disable it or the whole application need to be disabled? If so are there other options for measuring pulse etc.

Tasker for Note 4

Hello, I ride my motorcycle to work and have it charging. When it gets to 100%, the battery notification action stays on top of my WAZE, and of course I can't safely swipe it to get off my screen. I was hoping I could use the Tasker application to force close the notification. I've read the tasker wiki, and I've tried a few 'tasks' - but so far nothing seems to work. Can someone help me with this?

How to stop s-health cycling recognition?

Hi to all.
I've a little problem: I go to work with a motorcycle and my S2 recognize it as a sporty activity (cycling): is there a way to stop this behaviour?
Thanks

GS, I'm with you. I have the exact same problem. Every day I have to zero out the record for that day and then I turn off the cycling tracker (hoping that it just might stay disabled, but of course it never does). I wish there was a way to permanently disable this tracker, as I seldom ride a bicycle and could easily do without tracking this activity...
There automatic activity recognition settings in S Health. Just go to settings
Sorry but I don't have this option...
It seems that you can disable all automatic detections, and that you can not select with detection disable...

I have this same issue, the only solutions I've found are:
1) Download S-Health and disable it through manage items, but that does nothing.
2) Contact Samsung for support, which I've read is basically the first solution.
I want to set my watch for all my notifications but I think it's weird how you can't disable a function like that. I also tried factory resetting my watch to no avail...
Same problem here.
I don't want to disable cycling because i DO cycle sometimes and want to record it.
What annoys me is everytime I step in my car or ride a motorbike it detects me as cycling for a few hours.
Seems to be no way to disable it.
Anyone found a fix?
I'm still having the same problem. Strangely, it only seems to happen in my truck. When I drive the sedan, nothing happens and my watch works as intended. i'm not sure what I do in the truck that has my watch convinced I'm cycling down the highway at 70 MPH.
I've had to run off auto-detect which makes me sad because I forget to log my walking and my elliptical all the time. The watch we very good at detecting these 2 activities.
For future users who end up here with a google search:
the workout auto-detection settings are not the the S-Heath (or now "Samsung Health") app on your phone, they are in the S-Heath app that's on the watch itself. In last screen, "settings"

Turn off apps?

Is there a way to turn off certain apps in the watch like the fitness crap? It keeps telling me how many steps and how many miles I biked. I don't want that how do I disable it?

You can disable the Auto Detect feature. On your Gear S3, tap the S Health and swipe or rotate the bezel all the way to the right to see Settings. Rotate to Workout Detection and turn off every single one of those items. Hope this helps.

Consent popup each time I enable GPS (I want to use High Accuracy)

Hi,
Since about 2 weeks ago, every time I reenable GPS I get popus asking for permission for High Accuracy.
Problem is, I want HA mode. This is the mode I use by default, by I always disable Location (via Tasker action) if I'm not using an app that needs it.
Initially I thought it's a problem with Tasker, but I tested that even if I just use top-menu shortcut (or any other way to turn off GPS), I will get the popup when reenabling.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable GPS, switch to High Accuracy mode.
2. Turn off GPS (just the top menu icon, or slider in Settings).
3. Turn on GPS -> popup on the screen.
Phone is SM-G930F running Oreo, R16NW.G930FXXS2ERH6 software (stock).
Does this happen to anyone else? Can someone test?
Happens here as well, GS9+, everytime I use high accuracy mode, no matter the app.
Thanks! I still don't know what I can do about this, but at least you confirm it's not any special case.
Same on my Note 10+ -_- Rather annoying

Remove/permanently disable Ultra battery saver

Hi Everyone, I was hoping you might be able to help me.
I have installed serveral productivity blockers on my phone - I find I easliy slip into wasting too much time on it so I wanted to disable certain apps via blocking apps.My problem is that every app I have tried so far is easily disabled by the uiltra batter saver mode, which cannot seem to be adjusted to allow these blockers to continue to run in the background. I have looked on the forums for the apps I was using, and they seem to say therer is no real way round this issue on their end. So, I have concluded that I need to somehow completely disable ultra battery saver mode from the device, or at least completey remove my access to it. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to delete certain system files andmake that mode unusable? Or if not, if there was a way to remove the ability to add the ultra batter mode toggle to the control centre, as I can disable all other ways of activating it through other means.
Thanks guys!
