S Health Auto Pause (Does not restart) - also, sports not synced from phone?

Hi
Does anyone else have issues with the auto-pause facility on S-Heath running on the watch.
I was out mountain biking last weekend, stopped for a rest, tracking paused (good), started riding again, and after another half an hour of riding noticed that the tracking had not auto-started. It seems that after an auto-pause, I have to remember to press the back button to get the damned thing to start tracking again? I will never ever remember to do this! - if it auto-pauses then it should also auto-start! The only solution would appear to be to disable auto-pause, and not stop for any rests!
So, is this normal behaviour? Also, sports wise, there are hundreds on s-health on the phone, but only a tiny subset on the watch. I can start 'cycling' on the watch, but not 'mountain biking' - the S-Health app on the phone has both. If I start the activity on the phone, then the watch does not get used at all? I would have expected the phone app to realise there was a gear S3 attached and prompt 'start activity on watch?'. Also, if I edit the sports on the phone app to just those that I actually do (which I have done), I would expect these to be synced to the watch, replacing the activities shown on the watch.
Usual deal, Samsung makes decent hardware, but can't write decent software for toffee...

Agreed. It's a recurring bug which also affects UnderArmour's apps such as MapMy Run. I'm submitting a ticket to UnderArmour today to see if they can find a solution.

This weekend I was out road cycling, used manual-pause instead. Paused it for lunch, and when I went to restart it found workout had ended. Cant guarantee that I did not accidentally press the finnish button though. Ended up with two separate workouts in s-health each one 2 hours long.

Yesterday I reported to Under Armour support my ongoing problems with MapMy Run stopping tracking and locking up/ They have responded as follows:
Thanks for writing. We are aware of this issue that you are experiencing and we hope to have the problem taken care of soon. Your software appears to be updated, and we will be introducing a MapMyRun update soon.

Just to update on my own issues with MapMy Run app on the S3 locking up part way through a workout. Since installing latest version 1.1.3 of MapMy Run I tested the app on a 6 hours + hike on Friday and it worked great without locking up at all. It automatically paused and resumed whenever I stopped for a rest. I will test it again this coming Friday before being overly confident, but so far so good!

So i was out on my bike today, first time with the S3, set of S health for the ride after about 45 mins I checked and the ride had stopped recording at 35 mins ... had my garmin running also so all was not lost.
I restarted s health to record the rest of the ride.
When I got home, my phone had recorded the full ride but in 3 sessions all from the s3.
I have workout detection enabled which seemed to have worked today, so is there any point in starting an exercise on the watch if workout detection will do it anyway?

Hi,
How I can manually start cycling session with autopause on Gear S3 using S-Health?
EDIT: Found it, I will test it tomorrow

Have you figured out how to log mountain biking using the watch yet? I just got the gear sport and was surprised it doesn't have a mtb option on the watch. Any suggestions?

sorry to piggyback on this one, but on my watch, when i go into SHealth, all i see is Calorie stats. However, on my phone, under the "ME" section, i have selected various routines, but none show on my watch. I uninstalled and reinstalled, reset the watch after the update, still nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi
My mobile S5 not showing steps counting during my walking activity , it is observed that frquently having the issue of pauses when i start walking in the morning. The counting starts once the phone swith off and on,but now it paused and not showing the steps counting accordingly distance and callorie burn. I am look forward the valuable suggestion at the earliest.

Ridiculous that Samsung have not fix this yet 2019. But they are always hurry to put out new lines and abounded the old stuff. Her a video on this problem:

Gear S3 S Health walks/runs shutting off

Hello folks, need some help.
Just got my Gear 3, and when I turn on walk/run a few steps later, it pauses and asks me if I'm done with my workout. Not sure what's going on.
I am going to try and uncheck the auto pause feature, but I'm thinking it has to be something else. I make sure my arms are moving, and that its tracking steps, yet it's still pausing.
Any help would be appreciated.

The auto pause is useless since it does not also auto-start when one starts moving again. If you pause, either auto or manual, then after 30 mins it will ask you if you are done tracking. If you accidentally touch the screen after pausing then the workout quits. I have, several times had it quit the workout seemingly without warning when its paused - can only think that I have accidentally touched the screen. Best bet is to forget the S3 as a fitness device and go buy a garmin instead...
Nigel

I'm not even touching it.
I start a walk, while walking, 10-15 seconds later I feel the double vibrate, check the watch, and it's paused the walk. Frustrating.
I'm using the c25k apps from the phone as my guide, but I like running s health to track. I wish the gear would interface with runkeeper or any of the other apps to track overall since s health doesn't seem to want too.

The under armour apps are available for the watch as an alternative. Eg endomondo, mapmyrun etc.

Same problems occur with MapMy Run from Under Armour. In fact its more prone to it than SHealth! Am submitting ticket to UnderArmour today about the recurring problems with MapMy Run just pausing and locking up on every single hike I've used it on after 3-5 kms. Worse still when it does so only way you can get the app to work again is to completely unistall it and reinstall it on your S3. Sooooo frustrating!

S7 overheats when using Gear VR (2016 version)

Hi!
So I bought the Gear Vr 2 (the 2016 edition) and after about 30 min use streaming videos over WiFi I start to get warnings about the phone overheating.
From the reasearch I could pull, it seems to be a very rare issue on S7s, with people reporting pulling up to 2 hour gaming sessions with no such warnings.
I've tried closing all apps in background (from going to recents and closing all), also restarting the phone and trying right after. And while it I did get a few more minutes, I still got the warning. If I ignore it and keeep using it, the phone gets super laggy. Also tried going into airplane mode (with only wifi running) but still the same.
Any ideas? Never noticed the phone heating up much on any other event.
BTW, I'm on stock nougat.

if you own a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and are experiencing excessive battery drain, overheating and performance problems, VR might be the cause of all your problems too. Oculus recently sent an app update that has started creating these issues. The problems affect Gear VR-ready Galaxy phones, but the fix is pretty simple.
Okay so it seems that some people on here have come to the conclusion that the battery drain issue that some are experiencing is from an Oculus update this morning (Gear VR). I tried uninstalling the app completely to see if that helps at all – Reddit user said
You can fix these issues by simply disabling or deleting the Gear VR Service until Oculus sends an update fixing the problems.
Go to Settings > Applications > Application Manager.
Locate Gear VR Service.
Uninstall or disable.
Support on community discussion thread advises users to “uninstall Oculus Home first, and then Oculus Rooms (in that order) and then re-dock” the Galaxy device. “After you do that, it should download the latest working update,” hopefully fixing the issue.
Before uninstalling or disabling, however, simply open the app and see if it fixes the issue. Some users have reported that an Oculus update pushed itself through when the app was opened. The update seems to fix the problem. If it doesn’t, try the above fixes to see if you get rid of these problems.

Leave the cover off the Gear headset that covers the phone / point a fan at the headset
People mod them to hold a small battery powered fan to keep things cool

That bug was over a year ago, and was fixed within days
When you search Google, check the dates (2016)

Check when an article was updated. It may still show an older date, the date of the initial release, but if you click on it, you may see that it was updated, and when. Or if it was not.
So, even older articles may be helpful.

Thanks for your replies!
I tried the uninstalling the updates, but after after about 40 min still got the warning. I guess I'll have to do the cooler thing, annoying as it is.

I was surprised to see the update available. It took a long time to long time to download, transfer, and install, so I would definitely recommend that your watch be in its charging station for the process.
At the end of the update here are the version numbers:
Tizen 2.3.2.7
Software Version: R730TUVU3DRC1
I haven't fully explored everything, but there's a lot I like:
Quick Access (pull down) has a lot more capabilities (including accessing Settings, Brightness, Do not DIsturb, Screen Always on). Unfortunately they seemed to have removed the music player. (Guess I'll have to add that widget back to my list).
Widget improvement: Multi-contact calling looks better, there are a lot of new Health Widgets including a multi-activity one in which 4 possible activities are presented on one screen for a easy selection and start-up, recent apps widget is really handy.
New apps: I tried the Samsung PPT controller, but it didn't work. (I'm on a Mac, so that might be why).
My big big concern at this point is battery life. It seems terrible. That maybe due to playing with lots of apps and then not doing a clear all, but if it keeps up, I may have to do a soft reset and see how things are. Right now, I'm guess the battery drain rate is 2 or 3 times what I usually have.

The Samsung Health too was update. Now the aplication alone of Samsung Health for iPhone support the Gear S2, and this is incrible!
I believe this Samsung abandoned the Gear S2, but I thinked wrong.
Can anyone speak if the run4gear work in Android Phones with Gear S2 in Tizen 2.3.2.7?

Mine says no new update available :/

I did the update this morning and it was successful. I see the new shortcuts widgets and updated health and weather apps. But I don't see the Powerpoint App anywhere. Is that something you have to download?

So swipe down now doesn't go to the previous screen. Am I right in thinking to get back to watchface you now need to use a button?

Yes , I think the update removed the swipe from top to go back feature. Need to use the side button to go back over you are inside of an app.

Anyone have the previous firmware for SM-R735T? I don't need anything the new update offers, just want the "back" gesture returned.

Habit dictates a swipe and I keep getting back the settings...... Will have to relearn.
Anyone else found this a nuisance?
Valiante try Sammobile....
Wouldn't it try to auto update if you re installed the previous firmware version, or could you turn it off at the Gear app 'phone settings?

Has anyone tried to flash this to a vzw watch or is that not possible and we have to wait and hope vzw puts out an update?

Verizon has updated there page for the new update but still have not received the update ota here's a link to page https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-gear-s2-classic-update/
---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------
Scratch that I just received the update for the Verizon gear s2

i'v also got the new update here in Chile...
awesome update guys.. new pulldown toogles, and a lot more... new icon and new apk's
now we have samsung app store in the gear...
good job samsung gear department..

I was really excited to get the update. After the previous update, watch does this really annoying thing where it lights up the room when its done charging at night. Some times it will stop charging, drain a little, start charging again, and then light up the room a second time.
Well that hasn't been fixed. Now my watch battery is draining incredibly fast. I had to turn off always on watch faces and it's still draining at least twice as fast as it used to. Its been off the charger for an hour and it's already down to 85%.
I really miss the swipe down to go back. I don't need quick settings on every app. I hardly ever used it as it was. Speaking of which, most of the quick settings don't even do anything for some reason.
Really disappointed.

For me with the new update, I can't anymore answer to a whatsapp message direcly on the watch ! I can only use a button to open whatsapp on my phone !
Do you have the same thing ?

I got a second one a Verizon model and bassiy have to have all extra features off. And weird stuff is happening on it
I spent 10 hours yesterday dropped to about 75% I found download mode and was gonna play around. But that was the first reboot. And upon reboot batt was at 15% I'm like what the heck so I through it on charge am gonna swap it back out with the orig AT&T model I got first.

I haven't found the setting to manually set step target with the new update. My alarms stopped working so I had to do a factory reset to get them to work. Now I can't change my step target on the watch. This is how I used to do it:
1. Open Samsung Health
2. Go to very right/bottom and select Settings
3. Select "Adjust Step Target." This selection no longer exists.
I looked in just about every possible setting in Samsung Health and the device settings. I've tapped and long pressed on every possible data point on every possible screen for a hidden menu. It's nowhere.
I reached out to Sammobile 2 times.
- The first time I received instructions for doing this on the Gear Fit 2 Pro. #fml
- The second time I was told to factory reset everything, which I had already done. #fml
It's annoying that manually setting the step target on the Samsung Health app doesn't sync with the watch. But that's another topic.

Oh wow... I have the T-Mobile version, I don't have a plan for it so I was surprised to get an update but yeah I'm down to 47% right now and I should be in the 70/80 by this time. I closed all the apps and that seemed to help a bit but when you have a few apps open it seemed like it was draining quick...
I'm gonna do a reboot once I get home hopefully that'll help. If it doesn't do the trick that's something they're gonna have to fix.

Now if they will update the Wear app so it's compatible with Android Q...

Well, I don't like the screen staying on while charging with the little charging symbol scrolling around the display after this update! The display only goes off once the watch has a full charge. I can't find any setting to disable this stupid display being always on while charging as I do not use the always on display setting at all anyway. I really hate it when they change the simplest things which make no sense at all. I probably wouldn't mind it that much if it was displaying a number for amount of battery charge instead of a stupid charge symbol. Oh well, they added one annoying thing with this update!

Update non-US watches
Being curious about this update I changes my CSC from PHN to XAR. The update was offered to me (with release notes in Dutch) and successfully installed. Afterwards I changed my CSC back to PHN. All working as expected, but to early to tell something usefull regarding this firmware as it is running for just a few minutes.
If you can't wait for this update for your region, you could try the method mentioned above and update to Tizen 4.0.0.4 and One UI 1.0.
Be careful as usual and remember your watch will be reset.
CSC changed using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226

just out of curiosity, did this update fix the sensor not working issue introduced after tizen 3.0.0.2 update?

Try to do it, but nothing works :/

I am not an expert enough to guide you through the whole process, but these were steps I took:
- changed CSC to XAR as described in the post mentioned
- phone resets
- connected watch to phone
- restored backup
- changed CSC back to PHN
- phone resets
- connected watch to phone
- restored backup
- configured some stuff like widget order on my watch and installed some additional watchfaces/apps form the Galaxy Store which were not restored from backup.
- back in business and all working as expected.
Hope it helps.
(My devices: S3 Classic SM-R770 / Galaxy S8 SM-G950F)

Just updated my AT&T S3 Frontier to One UI version 1.0, Tizen 4.0.0.4 (R765AUCU2DSD7) - Everything appears to be working fine except for the Alarm App 1.1.56 and Widget. Getting error: "Unable to load data. Tap to retry" when I tap on the Widget and nothing when I click on the App icon. If I set an Alarm on my S9+ the S3 displays/sounds/vibrates the alarm just fine. I just can't set an alarm from the S3. I have restarted the watch and my S9+ is running the latest version of Android Galaxy Wearable. Anyone else experiencing this issue with their Frontier? - I noticed that updates for the Stop Watch and Timer apps were added in the Galaxy store, but not the Alarm app. Maybe there's an Alarm app update in the pipeline.

Well, I don't like the screen staying on while charging with the little charging symbol scrolling around the display after this update! The display only goes off once the watch has a full charge. I can't find any setting to disable this stupid display being always on while charging as I do not use the always on display setting at all anyway. I really hate it when they change the simplest things which make no sense at all. I probably wouldn't mind it that much if it was displaying a number for amount of battery charge instead of a stupid charge symbol. Oh well, they added one annoying thing with this update!

Yeah, this sucks! I just want it off (I like a dark room when I sleep).

Just updated my AT&T S3 Frontier to One UI version 1.0, Tizen 4.0.0.4 (R765AUCU2DSD7) - Everything appears to be working fine except for the Alarm App 1.1.56 and Widget. Getting error: "Unable to load data. Tap to retry" when I tap on the Widget and nothing when I click on the App icon. If I set an Alarm on my S9+ the S3 displays/sounds/vibrates the alarm just fine. I just can't set an alarm from the S3. I have restarted the watch and my S9+ is running the latest version of Android Galaxy Wearable. Anyone else experiencing this issue with their Frontier? - I noticed that updates for the Stop Watch and Timer apps were added in the Galaxy store, but not the Alarm app. Maybe there's an Alarm app update in the pipeline.

After this update my Alarm app is showing version 1.2.64 and appears to be working. However, the Galaxy App Store showing the other version 1.1 56 though. Strange...

Installing now

Notifications got slightly changed if I see that correctly. With previous version, multiple whatsapp notifications from different chats only showed the latest one (at least for me).
But now I was able to select between single notification. Maybe someone can check that for themselves.

News Briefing widget does not work for me. Just says could not load, tap to retry but never reloads. Just FYI if anyone cares.

Since updating my battery drains like crazy if always on display is running. Used to get about a day with it on. Anyone else have this problem?

Will test it tomorrow. I used to have display always on almost everyday

Battery life seems much better for me. I installed the update late afternoon, explored the new UI a bit, installed all my apps and now I still have 38% battery in the morning. However, I did reset the device two times - before and after changing the CSC back and I leave the watch in goodnight mode overnight. I'm sure resetting helps avoid certain battery issues.

You are correct...

So yesterday my phone was at 15% by noon after removing it from the charger at 0530. I thought maybe I thought it was on the charger overnight but wasn't. So now today I charged my watch on my drive into work and removed it from the charger at 0730 this morning... But 1330 it was dead! So yesterday was no a fluke it was massive battery drain from the latest update. I do use always on because it's easier for my job but I have never seen drain this past from this watch. I did a master reset to see if that resolves the battery issue. So far it appears to be working because it is draining at a normal rate again.

So far, so good
With AOD, brightness at 7 and heart rate monitoring off it seems to be promising

yeah i am luckily having no issues with the update. all my apps seem fine. it is way more responsive with less lag. battery seems to be about the same although i have only had it since yesterday but comparable so far. i am really liking the new oneui. feels like a new watch.
