Watchmaker (App) Issues

Hey guys,
So I recently downloaded the new Watchmaker app that was released for Tizen (finally), but I'm running into some issues and was wondering if you guys were experiencing the same problems or have any fixes.
The problems are basically to do with the sensors.. So for all of the watch faces, my steps are showing as 0, the weather is showing as default (something like 6 degrees with 95% POP), and heart rate doesn't update as it should. For the heart rate, if I reload the watch face, it updates with the newest heart rate (I think), but the steps and weather are stuck at default (0 for steps).
Mostly everything else works (battery, stop watch, time, etc...), but for some reason the steps and weather won't update. I have checked to see that the scripts were correct..
For heart rate it's {shr}, for steps it's {ssc}, weather is {wtd}.
So, anyone experiencing these issues or have any fixes? I'm definitely out of ideas.
Thanks
Wait for an update. It's still new and buggy for now.
Sensors don't work reliably for me either, it's an app issue as noted, steps are way off.

Where did you see that...I'm running the newest beta of the watch WM app, and steps still don't work.

I read something about it over on the developers Google+ page.
It mentioned being updated and submitted to Google for approval so should be due about Wednesday.

Thanks, I hang out over there and all I've seen from Alex Curran (WM team) on things addressed in updates is below, which doesn't include a fix for reading sensors/getting accurate step data. However (some good news here) Alex did said today in a post on G+ that Tizen 3.0 (not released yet) will provide access to the watch sensors from native Tizen 3rd party apps. For some reason (known only so Samsung), currently only web apps (like the Facer app) have access to the step sensor, and WM (being a native Tizen app) can't access the watch's step sensor (at least not until Tizen 3.0 is released).
So hopefully Samsung will release Tizen 3.0 soon!
WM watch up stuff in progress...Have you seen anything else?

Watchmaker doesn't seem to like custom roms on rooted Samsung devices (KLTEDV with custom Nougat rom). I can get it on the phone but when trying to install the companion app to the watch (Gear S3) the phone crashes. All my other companion apps install without issue from phone to watch, it's just Watchmaker that doesn't want to play the game? Yes I do know that I can always go back to a stock rom but it just seems a bit unusual that this app is the odd one out amongst the rest?
I was able to install Watchmaker on my Gear S2 with a Samsung Note 3 on custom Kitkat rom (SlimROM). My issues so far are that I can't update the app on the Gear S2 (even though it states "installed" in the notification, I only see the installation icon looping indefinitely on the Gear Store on my phone) and Watchmaker can't update weather status anymore...
I'm having similar issues with my Gear S3 and Watchmaker.
I can build faces and scripts that run and update great in the app, but then don't function properly once loaded on the S3.
Examples: Temperature units are always displayed as C regardless of setting in both app and watch.
Temps and weather info don't udate on the watch. They just display whatever value they had when I pushed the face from my phone to the S3.
Timezone handling is off, even on my phone. Trying to set something as simple as UTC is horrific. And having a clock that displays the time at home when I'm traveling doesn't work no matter how I've defined the time zones. Very frustrating.
Ok...most of my issues seem to be resolved now. One problem was my phone somehow got stuck in a manual time zone mode. Fixed now. Took a couple of sending the eatch face to my watch but suddenly started displaying other timezones properly.
Ditto for weather status.
Only remaining problem was temps are still in Celcius, but some trivial math worked around that.

My watch maker can't seem to find my gear s3. even after i reboot and do all the suggestions.
Hello guys! I've changed my smartphone and I've re-installed watchmaker, and now, I can't find a way to make the phone's battery level more frequent refresh.. I don't remember.. Thanks
WM S3 gear step counter
Dear friends,
WM obviously can not show steps from gear S3, using the sensor built in. Nevertheless there is a workaround using data from S-Health app. Now my question : step value on my gear shows 9012 steps, counter on s-health app shows equal value of 9012 steps,
but on watchface from WM it shows 14827 steps. Using {ssc} command for this value.
Does anybody has an idea where this value comes from, or how to setup that both values are equal.
By the way, setting for
Settings: Watch
Steps source for Gear S2/S3 (Samsung Health on Phone (Strategy 1)
Thanks for support

It's the S-Health app on your phone since it's showing your combined steps from both phone and S3. I tried changing this in the S-Health app to stop counting steps on the phone and that did work, but now it seems to have stopped the S-Health auto-sync of getting the steps from the S3. When I launch the S-Health app on my phone, then it syncs them. I tried changing it back to combined and turned the phones step count back on to try and get auto-sync back, but it didn't fix it. Anyway, I'm now stuck with no autosync of steps from the S3 for my troubles.
If you want to try this as your, pardon the pun, mileage may vary, here we go, but note that this could put you in the same no auto-sync between S-Health and the S3 situation that I'm in now.
Open the S-Health app on your phone, select Steps to get to the steps main screen, select the hamburger menu and then select View your Step Count Data, select the mobile phone, now select the hamburger menu and you'll see how to stop the phone from counting steps. Then select the hamburger menu and select View your Step Count Data and set it to the S3 or All Steps since it's the phones S-Health step count is disabled.

Sad... since this thread started.. this app STILL has problems..for me at least
I had a similar problem with the steps recorded by phone and gear. After I managed to filter only the steps from gear (in a custom app) I found out that the synchronization between the phone and gear is very bad. Even the steps count changes in the gear, the SHealth on my phone still displays the old value. If I disconnect and reconnect the gear it updates the value. Not reliable for a company app.
Thoughts?
Can't install companion app on Gear S3
Strange
I have Watchmaker on my Galaxy S8+ but when I try to install the companion app on my Gear S3 I receive an error msg saying that this app is not available any longer for purchase, or that it's not supported in my country or device.
I purchased the full version and have it installed on my phone.

Use SDB (Smart Development Bridge) from your computer to install the tpk file.
1) To use the SDB in a target device, set the device to the SDB mode by going to Settings > More system settings > Developer options > USB debugging in the device menu.
2) Turn on wifi (not auto) on your watch and make sure the watch is connected to the same wifi as your pc.
3) Use sdb connect and sdb install commands to perform the install. More details about SDB here: https://developer.tizen.org/dev-guide/2.4/org.tizen.devtools/html/common_tools/smart_dev_bridge.htm

Health logging issues

Hi All,
I have had a non-4G Watch 2 now for about 6 months.
Has worked really well especially as a GPS run tracker with music.
About a week ago I noticed that the watch had stopped tracking my steps.
Then I went for a run using the Huawei workout tracking app and it only recorded the time. No GPS distance, no heartrate...nothing.
I have since factory reset the watch about 5 times.
On my phone I've data cleared or uninstalled Google Play services, Services framework, Google Fit, Google App, Huawei Health, Android Wear, Huawei Wear.
Everything pairs up again properly, the phone updates apps no issues at all...then still no tracking.
The heartrate app on its own can do a heartrate measurement, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue. GPS map will also show my track, but the app records no distance data.
So it seems like some strange software issue.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar or have any other suggestions for what to try?
Thanks
So this looks like its a hardware issue.
I enabled developer options and found down the bottom there is a manufacturer test suite that steps through tests of the screen, NFC, vibration motor, screen, magnetometer, accelerometer etc.
It failed the accelerometer and barometric pressure sensor tests.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the stock image just to make sure everything was properly refreshed, then I was able to download the Wear 8.0 update as well.
Ran the test suite and it again fails the acceleromoter and barometric pressure sensor tests. They just don't respond at all.
Have logged a warranty case with Huawei who are good enough to generate a con note to have the device couriered to their repair agent.
I highly doubt that any repair will take place, they will just confirm it doesn't work (I relocked the bootloader and factory reset it) and then hopefully replace it.

Samsung Gear S2 Sport and Samsung Health Map Track

Hi
I have a Gear S2 sport watch (not 3G) and as S7 edge phone paired with it, both upgraded to the last available version.
I have not understood how to have the training path map synced with Samsung Health app (of course without having with me the phone during the run).
Steps, distance, speed and hearth rate are correctly synced, but I cannot see the map.
Is there a particular reaons for this or is this an expected behaviour? I thought S2 sport had a GPS module inside. How it measure the speed during running?
Thanks for any possible suggestion.

Huawei Watch 2 Sport not detected as a "heart rate monitor" in Huawei Health app

Huawei Watch 2 Sport not detected as a "heart rate monitor" in Huawei Health app
So I went running today and wanted to try out one of the provided plans which are available in Huawei Health app in the Exercise tab on the bottom, and then after selecting Trained at the top, to be specific the Fat Burning Run - MIIT programme, but it keeps saying that "A heart rate monitoring device is required for this course.". The point is, I have HW2 Sport connected to my phone at all times, synced both in Wear OS app, as well as in Huawei Wear and Huawei Health apps consecutively. Now that I took a look at it, my heart rate is actually being synced to the Health app, as it can be seen on it's Home page, but for some reason doesn't work with their provided workouts. Has anybody ran into similiar issue and perhaps knows a solution to this?
1st post be gentle please.
I have exactly the same issue. The annoying thing is that my wife has a band 2 which I got for £25 on black Friday and it works perfectly. I don't. Understand why Huawei apparently decided not to include the Watch 2 in its list of supported devices as it clearly would work... The fat burning training program on the watch itself (workout app) works perfectly, so why not connected to the phone...? Any ideas please?

Workout Detection not working

Hi,
I have a Gear S3 SM-R760 running One UI 1.0 and software version R760XXU2ESF2 (Tizen 4.0.0.4).
Up until Saturday July 13, 2019, I had no issues with my Gear S3 detecting workouts, whether it was dynamic, running or on the elliptical, but I went on the elliptical Monday night and it didn't detect the workout at all.
-Heart rate monitor is set to continuous.
-I checked and the workout detection is enabled both on the watch and on my phone (Samsung S8, SM-G950W running Pie).
-I confirmed that elliptical was enabled in the workout detection.
-I factory reset the watch and re-setup everything.
It still isn't working. I tried Samsung help but their default response is to factory reset the watch (which I tried again just incase). My warranty ran out 6 days ago so I'd have to ship this watch to get it looked at and by the time I do that and pay the minimal fee I'm in it for almost $100 CND. I might as well put it towards a Wear OS watch instead for all the issues I have with all my Samsung products.
Any other ideas what I could try? Otherwise I'll just have to start my workouts manually which I'm sure I will forget to do half the time.
Thanks.
