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.

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,
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Greetings,
I really want this watch but have a few specific questions to ask before purchasing that I can't find anywhere else:
What sport profiles are available? SUP? Kayaking? Open Swim?
Does it work with an LG V 30?
Can you create custom interval workouts with this watch or third party apps such as 2 minutes on and two minutes off?
Thank you in advance!!
Using the widget on the watch I can see the standard activities are walking, running, cycling, and swimming.
Would love to be able to switch running with kayaking or indoor rowing machine.
On the app settings on the watch it can auto detect walking, cycling, elliptical trainer, rowing machine, and "dynamic workout" - this is the catch all option for any vigorous activity.
Would be much better from a logging point of view if a better range were selectable.
I think there also ought to be a way to get heart rate monitor to switch to continuous while exercising.
Hi, I am looking for a watch (or band/whatever) that can measure my HR continuously for the entire day. I would like the HR to be shown on the home-look of the watch (next to the hour) and it needs to be always ON
I have seen that the Fitbit inspire HR does this (in the display you can see the hour and you HR below), but the screen is always turned OFF until you touch it. Is there a way you can set it up so it's always ON (even better if you can set hours to sleep and turn the screen off)
Or recommend other watches/bands that do this please, no need to be fitbit
thanks
The recent Fitbit device has no always ON screen, just one device the Fitbit Surge.
Otherwise use some Garmin Watch.
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.
