Just got my Samsung Gear s2 today and love it so far except for s health. I can't get anything to work. I've been walking all over the place and it's not registering any steps. When I do my heart rate it says try again and nothing registers. I've been researching this for a couple of hours now and I keep coming across something that talks about the s health manager and I have yest to find that. Is it something on my phone or on the watch itself.? What am I doing wrong?
What phone are you using? S Health features only work with Samsung phones.

That's not entirely correct. I'm using all of those features on a Huawei Mate 7 with no issues.

Really? Well, that is good news for people who do not have a Samsung phone. I read it in a review of the GS2 and originally the S Health app was only available through the Samsung app store. I double checked and it is indeed now available in Google Play.
Thanks for this insight!
S Health
I am using a Samsung mega. I finally got it to work. Well what I should say is I went back and did a factory reset and then it worked fine. Now if I can just figure out how to make the sleep quality part work. All it registers is how many hours I sleep (or don't sleep) and I have to put that in manually.

It doesn't track sleep like you are looking for. I'm guessing that may be coming in a future update.

The first one I had did the same thing yours did. I had to reset it to get steps and heart rate to work. I had lots of trouble with notifications on this watch as well and was having to reset it all the time. I took it back and swapped it and the second one has worked near perfect. I think it has only missed one notification so far and the other one was about 50/50. I would watch it close and return it if need be while you can.

Going to be pairing it with my HTC Evo 3D:highfive:
Sony site says it doesn't work but everywhere else says it does
I know to go ahead and buy this here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.k9
But is there anything else I should go and get for it?
Also anyway to get custom watch faces without them being widgets? I don't want one that battery drains.
There's not other smartwatch faces just the few than Sony provides. I recommend you WatchIt! For all notifications be available on your watch.

There are a few watch faces that come with the watch. Anything outside of that selection will drain your battery well enough since it will eb running as a widget or an app. Sony wont let the custom watch faces replace the stock one.

That's what I figured.. Hopefully something changes with the watch being open now.
But I will just stick with what it has when I get it.
happy
my order should be coming home, I'm excited
My Watch came in the mail today! been using it for a couple hours and I love it!
Only have 2 issues with it.
1. is a known problem the double tap to on, not a huge deal since I'm used to pressing a button to turn on watch (previous watch was Virtue's Last Reward Watch)
2. Reading emails/notifications on watch doesn't mark them as read. anyone know a way around this? Specifically for gmail.
sure you will get it~~ I love this watch deeply as well!:fingers-crossed:
mines coming in the mail as well. i cannot wait to get it
Mine is coming right on my birthday... Can't wait to check it out... The Sony website says that my phone is compatible....
But I'm afraid..
I rooted my phone and flashed a custom cm10.1 ROM. Will it still work?... My phone has stock GB... No ICS+ support.. So will my watch work with the custom cm10.1 ROM or should I go back to stock GB for it to work? Pls answer...

I currently use Sony smartwatch with my tab mounting cm10.1
Before I used with standard stock ROM GB 2.3.6 without much problems. When I move to cm10.1 I was very disappointed to discover that the watch was continousely disconnected after few minute of regular connection It seemed the bluetooth stack was gone in deep sleep after few minutes the tab entered in standby modality. Finally I solved with a nice utility in the playstore named "bluetooth keep alive". Basically it continousely wake up bluetooth maintaining the bluetooth connection active. With this utility installed my smartwatch si abile to maintain a stabile connection with my tag falso when it goes in atandby mode. Unfortunately the program it si notte free but at least in my case solve the problem so it is woth to consider thia option in case you got similar problem.

I don't know much about the e-mail notification part. For the double tap, here's what I like to do to fix that. Install an app called smart alarm. Basically it makes your watch use the sensors on it to detect your sleeping. Turn the app on, go into the settings and turn the alarm on. Then turn the alarm off, turn the app off. Every time I do this, it seems to make the watch respond properly to taps again. I wear mine on a security badge lanyard around my neck and I used my thumb to "pop" it like a bass player would use his thumb. Every time I do those steps with smart alarm, it's like a little kick to the watch to play nice again.
looks pretty sweet to me
Some phones can't install Samsung gear and Samsung accessory services from play store. The one plus 2 is one of those device.
Here is the two files needed.
Install gear and services and your good to pair. I hope Samsung makes this work with every phone.
Here are the updated APK's (as of this morning): 10/26
Gear Manager

Hi, Where did you get these files from?

Samsung Pay
Does anyone when our what's up with samsung pay app for the gear s2 is it out yet my watch says no payment app installed in the tap and pay section
Same issue!!
Same problem here. I tried to use the tap-n-pay at a location where I normally use my Samsung Pay on my Galaxy S6 Edge, and nothing happened. On my Gear S2 watch I went into Settings/Connections/NFC, then scroll down to Tap and Pay - and I get a screen which says, "Tap and pay (then shows sketch of tap n pay) No installed payment apps"
And unfortunately there is no Samsung Pay app in the Gear app store. So upset about this.

Not for me. If the screen is on the always on clock then I get notifications. If its on the black only screen I get nothing. This isnt working like it should. Ive tired everything. Ive turned on always on mode and then turned of wrist gestures and the always on clock will only stay on for about an hour and then it will just be a black screen and Ill get nothing. With always on set to on and wrist gestures to on I will only get notification if the screen just turned off or always on clock showing.
Are you using the Oneplus 2?

Mine show me running session when i'm still on chair. Factory reset no works for me...
Mine gave me 40 hours of normal use and was only at 50% so I'm not complaining. Weather works better too.
Mine keeps telling me to get off my ass and get active. Kind of hard to do while sitting at a computer writing lines of code. Then it gets excited when I blow my nose as it thinks I'm exercising. Go figure...

Where do you do that? In Gear Manager? A specific app? I must be overlooking it!
Go to SHealth on the watch apps; scroll all the way over to Settings, then turn off Health Nudges. That should do it.
Never would have found it as I've never actually fired up that on the watch. Thanks! :good:

Could be one of the adaptive battery settings; known troublemakers. This feature though has eluded me for over a year on the 10+ And not a clue why even after spending a bunch of time playing with it

I tried that apk on the 10+ running on Pie, no joy and that apk itself was a real bloody pain.... grrrrr.
For whatever reason(s) edge lighting has never worked. I could try playing with it again... last couple times were a waste of time.
Probably a apk conflict or settings issue but I never found it... meh.
OP, Thanks for reminding me of this gremlin
Hope you find a solution here as it may backwards applicable.

Lol, that's reassuring. A long history of fail.
I just looked over my settings and it should be active.
Damned if I see it anymore (it works for a couple days once, long, long ago).
I reset it to factory load, the only possible option left; no power management is active.
I'll double check my blocked apks just for amusement.
Guess I'll wait and see if this takes:laugh:

Bah-ha-ha-ha... it never uses any battery (yes, well) so I completely forgot it was enabled.
Guess it could be one of the mystery apks under Android Services sucking battery though.

I have something like 86 blocked apks now. All but 6 or so of those are never needed. Lol, less run time, less trouble.
Sometimes with new apps I'll block them until I sort them out or throw them out.

I do not remember authorizing any updates, but this started last year in December. And I did have it set to auto update. I had called Samsung support they told me my battery was shot and they could replace it and since my warrenty was expired it would be almost 200.00. So the watch has been sitting since then.
