The new Gear Watch Designer is great but it seems to be lacking one particularly important indicator.
It would be great to have a condition for watchface design that shows the battery charge level of a connected phone, not just the battery level of the watch itself.
Is there any way in which this could be added using the Gear Watch Designer or some other method?
Thanks
I believe it can only be added by a companion android app. Unless the designer devs come up with a way to generate a generic android app for that or Samsung updates their accessory service to let watch faces access that info, it's not going to happen.
If you know how to code an Android app, it is actually very easy to get that information.

Posted on the Samsung Dev Forum. They're adding the functionality soon.
Hey guys, I am a new user of Gear S2 Classic, I would like to know if there is any watch face already that is showing the battery level of the phone that is connected.
Thank you in advance for the info.

All in One! watch face ($1.99 I think) has an option to show phone battery level. You have to have to install a phone app called "Gear Data Provider". It works great with my Galaxy S4.

Hey, thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find "all in one!" watch face anywhere, also there is no app called " Gear data provider" in the google play store, atleast for my location.
Any advice?

On my Galaxy S4 phone in the USA, I start the Samsung Gear app, then select Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Gear Apps pops up. Then, I touch "Top" which is to the right of Category and Staff Picks. Once there, I touch "Top free" and change it to "Top paid". It's the very first item in the list - All in One! In the "description" area of the watch face details, the dev (Alex Rokhlov) explains how to download Gear Data Provider from Google Play Store. There it's called GDP. Here's a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shu.gear.data
Good luck!
I have found a way to get the battery of the connected phone via tasker and the Taskers2 app on the gear s2. Just make a task in tasker that displays the battery level on the notification bar of the phone for three seconds, and then removes it. It will then display your phones battery % on your gear s2. Its not integrated into the watch face, but it works for me.
You will need to have Tasker, Tasks2 on your watch, and the paid companion app TaskS2

Now that WatchMaker is compatible with the Gear, you can use that to show Phone Battery Level as well as Watch Battery Level. However, the Step Counter and Weather Information are both not working properly, unless Im missing something in the settings of the app.
Weather works.
Steps.... not really but sometime.

cjkbarnett, I would like to import that task into tasker. I tried using the link provided, but Tasker said it needs to me a prj.xml file. When I added the ".prj", the file showed up in the import field in Tasker, but then error code "no #1$s found" Any suggestions?

I am getting several notifications from "s health ecosystem" and I am wondering how to mute them. They are pointless and kind of ugly being that they have a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle of it. If you touch them they do nothing, and the explanation detail is truncated.
Anyone figure out a way to get rid of these? They seem to be triggered by data passing between the watch and the fitness app.
i have the same issue . now that i got the gear 2 neo at times it will get 70+ notifications
very annoying

I believe it's happens depending on your sync of smasung account to health app, i changed mine to sync every 6 houts and haven't gotten it yet. But yesterday non-stop i was like really!? lol
related to launcher?
It seems like these notifications are related to the fact that I'm using the Nova launcher instead of Samsung's, so I'm being warned about some nefarious third-party contact. I can't even get to S Health from Nova, but my Gear Fit seems to be trying to communicate with it. It's a bit if a nuisance that I can't get to S Health, because the Gear Fit Manager doesn't provide nearly as much functionality. I hate all this walled-garden nonsense...
UPDATE:
A footnote on the Samsung App site (use the three blue lines in the upper right or scroll down in the left nav to Device and Content > S Health): "As of April 2014, these S Health features are only available on the Galaxy S5. Soon they will also be available on other devices, via app updates." I wonder how long that will take?

Hmm, I am using Google experience launcher - so maybe it is a launcher issue. Anyone running TouchWiz having this problem.
On the note 3 you have to delete s-health and health services. side loading these cause problems with the fitness with gear app. if these aren't installed the fitness with gear app will sync with your samsung account and work fine. by installing both it causes conflict as both are more or less the same. Not sure why everyone is hell bent on having s-health as fitness with health works great. as for the notifications, that pops up when the app syncs your data to your samsung account. i have mine set at 12 hours. there is no way currently to stop the notifications only changing the time period it syncs. hope this helps.

I am having this same exact problem. Running stock touchwiz and not rooted.
Same problem here as well.
Is there a resolution to this issue?
This sucks, these are annoying. I might expect this kind of thing with a hack or custom rom but I am bone stock note 3 and this seems kind of ridiculous. Makes you wonder if anyone at Samsung actually used this thing for a week before releasing it.

Hello everybody.

Is it possibile?

Any update? I would like to use the fit 2 for most health tracking items (as I would more easily keep this on for sleep) and the S3 limited to only when I dont have the fit 2 and I do have the s3. You would think that they would be able to work together- if not one of them has to go...

I'm testing the solution above in these days. Fit2 and S3 work togheter well. The problem is the smartphone. If in S Healt you select data origin " all steps" S Health includes also the smartphone, but only a little part of the steps from smartphone. Probably is correct. I don't understand this number. Is not possible to delete these steps.

I wear S3 and Fit2 one at a time. Usually during the day I use the Gear S3 and in the evening and during the night the Fit2. S Health has a setting to choose data source for steps. If you choose "all steps", S Health added the S3's steps and Fit2's steps...and phone's steps.

In S Health, steps, above right command "other" and then "data origin".
Hi,
In which way can I delete the Gear S3 from S Health? I tried but it's always there. The Gear S3 is unpaired from my device.
If you haven't figured out out to get the phone pedometer turned off yet:
Disconnect the s3 and fit from S-Health, go into your steps in S-Health, click the "More" button, there should now be an option available to stop tracking steps (can't remember the wording). The graph will now display "paused" for your phone. Reconnect your other devices, "All Devices" will now only include the connected devices.
Ok, this seems like a stupid question but I see from the watchmaker description, it has support for Tasker. I have also seen some people taking about using Tasker integration with watchmaker. I am new to watch maker and playing around with some faces I downloaded. Just curious, how do you do this? Do I need to download a plug in? Also, are there any tutorials that have been written either on XDA or elsewhere? I seem to be having a problem finding it while searching.
It's probably staring at me in the face so sorry I advance if it is.
Obviously, need Tasker on your phone and actions set up.
Load WatchMaker on your phone and companion app on watch.
Get a watch face (facerepo is a good place). Download and then import into WatchMaker on your phone using the arrow button on the my faces section.
Scroll down and look for the option to duplicate the watch face. (If you want to save a clean copy of the original.)
Then open the duplicate and scroll down and choose 'customize.' Select an existing object on the watch face, or add one. Then scroll down to the Tap action option, select that, select the Tasker option from the list of options, and that will allow you to choose a tasker action to execute when you tap that object on the face on your phone.
Back up using the back arrow in the upper left corner of the app (save is automatic). Then make sure that the WatchMaker is set as your watch face on the watch. Then use the load option in WatchMaker on your phone to transfer the watchface to the watch.
Tap the object in the watch face and tasker action is executed.
There is no Tasker for the Gear S3.

I know there is no tasker for the S3. The watchmaker app has integration of the tasker app. It supposedly allows you to trigger tasker tasks from the watch face.

It does, as I noted above.
There is also a Tasker app for the S3 called TaskS2, that works very well.
And another option is via the Trigger app.

True, but TaskS2 only lets you run profiles stored on the phone. No control over the watch itself.

Hey
Where can i see my ECG records in the Samsung Health app? Its all calibrated with the Samsung Health Monitor app, or is this the only place to see this?
Cheers
Samsung Health Monitor - its different than Samsung Health - this is where you get to see the graphs
See here as you may need to take steps to enable and use it depending on your location:

I have done this, Blood Pressure data is showing in the Samsung Health app, but no ECG info, its only in the monitor app.

ECG is a graph, if you think about it logically, theres no way to present that in the concise gui that Samsung health uses...Samsung Health is more of a concise overview of easily digested metrics, where as ECG is a linear graph, the two are not really compatible
Also figure in Samsung Health Monitors main purpose is to export that graph as a PDF, so its ideally not even meant to be viewed on the device at all...

I could not get these two apps to communicate. The phone app looked for the watch, but couldn't find it and eventually timed out. Has Samsung made further changes to their software to keep this from working or is there something else going on? Any insights would be most appreciated. Thanks.

1st of all you'll need to download the file "FeatureManagerOn" from the XDA Google drive downloads link found here admittedly while @Dante63 is good at unlocking these apps I don't think much to the layout of his/her guides. Look for "~~~ FILES and Description ~~~" download link will be under that, it's important to have this file sitting as such (root of Android phone) /DOWNLOAD/SAMSUNGHEALTH/FeatureManagerOn before following (opening the Samsung health app)
Open the latest version of Samsung health app, mines (6.21.2.007) just in case they lock it down even more... so if you'res is newer by the time you see this and the instructions I'm giving don't work, they probably locked it down more, press the "3 dots" found at the top right hand side, press "settings" scroll all the way down till you see about samsung health, press the version number several times till the option "set features" shows up, don't mistake this for "developer mode"
Once inside set features change health analysis to dev, and set data platform to enable developer mode
While I am supplying help here I am in no way saying I've done this to my watch 4, however I'm very happy that non Samsung smart phones are able to get the same level of data. Shame on Samsung for locking this up, joke is they are running the watch and their phones off of a open source operating system they are not apple and they should be opening this up to everyone, the code the lot. as they agreed to use a open source operating system and are profiting from it so should be giving back to the community, that they rely on, I'm disgusted with this company's behaviour and mistreating of code which by nature isn't theirs and shouldn't be locked down, all Android phones can run this there's no hardware reason... They are not apple they didn't build wear os or android.
So thank you @Dante63 I know it seems like I'm criticising you're work but I'm not, it's just that this shouldn't be a requirement for this to all work with standard non Samsung phones and the whole situation has annoyed me please write down how to do the steps in you're guide I literally didn't watch the video till after 9 attempts

Hi all, got the phone and watch mods installed and now have both blood pressure and ECG. The blood pressure syncs to the Health Monitor app but not the ECG. The ECG tab says it can't connect to my watch while the blood pressure tab does. Any clue?
my watch OS and phone apps are updated, but trying to update the health app on the watch gives "this app is no longer is no longer available or supported in this country or on this device".
The watch was bought in US and I live in Peru.
What can be done?
I had a similar issue and it was fixed by fully configuring the Health Platform App on the phone. Keep your Galaxy Wear App connected to the Watch during the configuration and it will also update the App on the watch.

Maybe your phone hardware and software setup is different. I was getting that message when I tried to update the Health Platform on both my Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic and after configuring the Health Platform on the phone the error message went away. Now all the Samsung Apps on my watches are up to date. Try disconnecting the watch from WiFi and BT, clear the data and force stop the HP App on the phone. Aftewards, reconnect the watch and reconfigure HP again. That's all I got.
