Hi all, bit of a longshot this one, but I thought I would ask as there is so much great information here. I am a type 1 diabetic and use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to measure my blood glucose. Currently I can measure this using the NFC capability of my Galaxy S7 Edge, and the Freestyle Libre app.
My question is could this be done with my Gear s3 by maybe sideloading (a phrase I just learned to be honest) one of these apps on the Gear s3?
It would make my life that wee bit easier, and I would be grateful. Thank guys.
You can't side-load a phone app on the watch - you'd need a watch app, someone would likely have to build it for you. Unless the good folks at Freestyle Libre or other developer are willing to create a native S3 watch app, you're likely out of luck.
You might have more luck w/an Android Wear watch, as the integration of the Wear watches and the phone apps may be easier.

Oh ok, thanks for replying, much appreciated. I'm stuck with the Gear for now though.

Liapp
billytrack, I'm trying to port the Liapp application to C++ in Tinzen to works on Gear S3 - but by the time I've dedicated to it I think I'll be delayed. I also want to integrate it with Samsung Health.

Hi,
I am trying to make a Gear 2 watchface with a Disney character on it. I use a drawing of the character on the watchface.
Unfortunately, my app is rejected by Samsung Apps, because of "Copyrighted material".
Is there a workaround for this type of situation ? Shall we never have the chance of seeing such apps on our "Gear 2" ?
In fact, this should not be specific to Gear 2 Apps, I believe, same rule applies to Android apps, at least the apps on Samsung Apps.
What can I do ? Would it matter if I draw it myself and make a serious mistake to say that this is not the correct character ?

Why dont' you make a Disney watch face with Watch Styler and publish it on Gearfaces.com
Gear users can use that watch face with the Watch Styler and/or Multi-Watch Gear app.
there are already a few others:
Mickey watch faces
But my watchface is a standalone app with other features (digital clock and date with weekdays, battery & bluetooth status)
I am also planning to develop it with additional features like weather & location information etc.
so it's not just a design for Watch Styler.

Ok, then I don't know a way to get around the Samsung Copyright police...
Maybe just try again, another tester might not notice it.
My experience is that they don't really have a structured way of testing.
They might find a problem one day, but miss ten others.
But be carefull, if you violate the copyright laws too often they might block/remove your account completly.
Why don't you make you own nice unique design for the watch face, then you'll have your own copyright?
Finally there's a Gear2 app for Backcounty Navigator. I've used this android app on phones for several years and it's fantastic. Now there's an app for our Gear2 that lets you display maps, waypoints and compass data on your Gear2. I was considering a Garmin watch but this app is even better!
Sadly, no app yet for the Gear S2, tho.
I bought the Gear S2 because I saw a YouTube promo for BCNav on Tizen, but when I couldn't find the app I emailed Crittermap. Here's how Dan responded:
"We will try to work on this feature (it has been halted before).
We can't give you an ETA as we do not have a dev who is available to work on this (We're a relatively small company)
Our support for Samsung would be more timely if they didn't change development paths twice a year and if their communication path between the watch and phone weren't so unstable."
Any clever devs out there want to give them a hand? I really want to use BCNav with my watch but I'm not that kind of developer
3C Battery Watch, available on Play Store only, the battery monitoring tool for Wear OS smartwatches.
★ Display %, mA, mV, temperature and remaining time in one screen.
★ Tap to display historical data for each.
★ Mobile app can connect to wear app to show full historical data.
Beta 0.3
In this beta, I've made both the wear and mobile app.
Both must have the same package name to be able to communicate with each other. So the mobile app cannot be the toolbox nor battery manager. At least not directly.
Here are the possibilities:
- One independent wear app for each app accessing it: toolbox or battery manager.
- Existing wear app + plugin mobile app, toolbox or battery manager communicating with plugin to access wear app (itself going through wear os app).
The mobile app currently shows the main watch screen, the estimate graph, and full history using a graphic and list view.
I'm thinking of putting estimates summary (run-time, screen-on/standby/charge) and calibration summary (capacity) into the main screen, with taps to open new screens for graphics, history, detailed estimates and detailed calibration, similarly to battery manager.
It's in beta, so any feedback is welcome.
I've downloaded and paid for the full version of the all in one toolbox you've created. Love it!
Would you know of anyway to get this working with my galaxy frontier 3 watch and note 20 ultra 5g? Would love to test this out on my Samsung devices.

The frontier 3 is tizen-based if I'm correct, so it won't work on it. I'll be looking at Tizen development to see if I can port the app to that OS.

You are correct... id likely assume me along with many others have the galaxy watch series vs. Google wear OS watches.. once you are ready, I'd more than be welcome to testing tizen based version.. as I feel the Samsung based watches goes more in depth with watches vs. Wear OS.

I have the mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 2020 and it delivers everything I need. I'm not into sports so I disabled all mobvoi specialized apps and I'm getting 3 days and half on full charge, 2 days and half before. It has google pay, talks and is perfect for my need. I'm looking into getting the ticwatch Pro 3 which has longer battery life and is faster. The pro 3 is impressive with all sports feature one can wish. My wife had the Galaxy Active 2 but sold it for a Mikael Corss watch running Wear OS, she's very happy with it. No sports addict either, so health features are of no interest to us.
On the developement side, it's way easier to develop for Wear OS than tizen where one will have to code the watch app in C/C++ and the Android app in Java. I've setup the dev environment which requires both Eclipse IDE and Android Studio IDE to be installed.
Anyway, smart watches have a long road ahead to become way better.
The worst thing about moving from tizen OS to wear OS is the difficulty navigating in finding faces. Can anyone help mevfind Rolex or similar faces in that don't require a monthly subscription like is required with watchmaker? I'm glad to pay.... Just not each and every month.
Thanks
Hi
If you are happy to use Watchmaker app then this guy does really good ones https://www.svartling.net/p/watch-faces.html
Also, pujieblack. /r/PujieBlack is full of them.
Is there a way(or app) to connect my bike sensors(speed and cadence) and my external heart rate monitor to the watch?
Thank you.
Not unless they are BT and have an app for WearOS.
They are bt and ant+.
Wich wear os app?
I am speaking about your sensors. They would have to have apps that work on the watch.
The problem is, i have never seen auch app.
Strava doesn't do it, Samsung Health, not at all... Is there any app Who does it?
No. The manufacturer of your devices would have to develop the apps and if they have not, you are out of luck. The Watch4 has heart rate monitor built in. There are apps you can use on the watch to see speed and I think the Samsung Health app may do stuff for biking.
I should really have gone for Garmin. Thought wear os would make "miracles" but apparently not.
Thank you
Really does not matter what watch you get. External devices will only have support if the device manufacturer develops an app to support it on the watch.

Yes, Garmin has been working to make adventure type watches for years. Not surprised that they may support an external device.
