Hey guys,
So, I can't get my Gear S2 to track my sleep and an even bigger problem is the inactivity tracking. Activity tracking only shows that I've been doing light activity. Every time I check. It just says Light activity both when being as inactive as I can be (playing on my pc) or being active to hell (sprinting and playing football). It's just reporting light activity. Now, how can I get it to record my sleep? Doesn't seem to do it automagically soo how can I make it start automatically or at least start it manually.
P.S. Also, how can I make it pair with the S Health App on my phone?
Gear s2 doesn't track sleep like the neo 2, and to connect with shealth should sync auto. Go into app and it should start the process

hi,
i was using garmin vivosmart HR for my training, the screen was always on so i could watch over my pulse.
now with the Gear S3 i can see my pulse during training if i start a s-health training and i also got the HR application from the samsung store but both cannot override the watch configuration and always stay on.
if i choose always on, when my hand is on the eliptical (where i run) the watch shows the watch face, not the HR.
only if i get my hand up - i see the HR.
any hack for this?
There is an app called: I am alive. It let's you to keep the display on. Battery drainer though.
Hi,
since yesterday i have a HW2. Usaly im a wearable user like miband, garmin, Fitbit...and brand new in the android wear universe.
- there are no "nightmode" ?? Do not disturb and shut down your Display between 10pm and 6am setup?
- there a no sleep tracking per default? I try sleep as android. But that lights the display all the night with "Sleeptracking" - and in the morning there are not data
- no altimeter, no barometer per default? (see it on the S3 frontier per default)
A lot of questions and not enough answers

On the clock screen pull down a little shortcut menu that contains airplane mode, sound, theater mode (turns the display black until you press the power button), do not disturb, settings.
There are no sleep tracking. There is though a app called "sleep as android" you can download as you mentioned.
Barometer and altimeter can be showed in some watch faces
Thanks. Today was the second night that sleep as android crashes after 4 minutes on my OP3
Yesterday i had to charge the HW2 2 times - that a but to much. Have to optimize that thing.
Today i try it at my desk. Sleep as android crash after 3-6 minutes on my handy. Dont no why. This log-logger from the faq dosent make a file. Very anoining.
Heart Rate sensor while a bike round. Im not sporty. If my wrist is wet....i get ~70Bpm. If i try that it shows me like i feel. 140Bpm and more. Go ahead and my wrist is wet again....plays start from the begining.
The first 10 Minuites are NOTHING...till the time i dry my wrist.
Today after 11 hours I had only 15% left of the watch. But it was down to 40% before I did a 20 min run with endomondo on the watch and listening to music with bluetooth headphones while running. I also hade a sim card in the watch and the display set to always on. So it was heavy usage. But I did not run for long time..
Air pressure/Barometersensor look not calibratet or whatever. Here we are at 1022hpa, whatch show 1009. Yesterday 1020hps - watch show 1009hpa
Is it possible to stop the continual 24/7 heartrate monitoring? I want the Watch 2 to only monitor HR when I'm doing a fitness activity or if I manually ask it to display my HR. This 24/7 monitoring is unnecessary and I find it especially annoying when I remove my watch, put it into Airplane & Do Not Disturb mode and the green LEDs on the rear still flash all the time.

Pretty sure you can configure it in options.

You have to go into the heart rate application and swipe to the right twice and there is a toggle for automatic measurement I'm not sure whether you will need to turn this back on to do fitness activities with your watch though

Tried that but it doesn't stop the 24/7 HR tracking.
You need to also go into the Google Play Services app in system apps and disable the sensor tracking from there. Google tracking everyone and everything again.

Afaik this is the watch trying to detect if you are still wearing it, and lock if you aren't... This is just a guess. If you are paranoid, go to permission settings and turn off ALL health related permissions.

Hi, I apologize if this was posted before but I could not find anything (neither here or on other forums). I have recently bought a Gear S3 (watch) Classic (no LTE) and so far I love it, however I have one question concerning its usage and battery life. I do not wear it when I sleep, and I do not plan to, so I was wondering if there was a way for the watch to detect that I am not wearing it (it's laying on my desk when not charging so it could use the absence of data it recieves from heart rate and movements) and then automatically disables S Health and other functions (except for alarms and maybe phone calls) until I pick it up? I know that there is Power Saving option in the settings, but to manually turn it on and off every day seems like a hassle when I think that it should be able to do it automatically. Is there any way to do that?
Thank you!
It already does detect that you are not wearing it. When that happens it will turn off the screen. Watch also has a "do not disturb" mode which you can turn on on a schedule. This will disable alerts (except alarms) and disable the screen!
Hope this helps!

I got a question. On my old Gear S3 when i enabled auto workout detection and started running, after 10 minutes my watch said "Keep it up!" And i could track how long i was running and stuff. Is there a way to have this on my Watch 4? Cause it does auto track my workouts but i cannot track em trough my watch and it does not pop up after running for 30minuted and stuff while i'm exercising. Thanks for the help!
Nobody?
I was using this option long time ago. If I remember well you can switch on Auto detect Activities in Settings - Samsung Health . Watch detects only walking and running, after ~10 minutes. Tracking screen should pop up or there will be small Activiti icon at screen bottom. Just touch it to see full tracking.
