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.

Hi to all.
I've a little problem: I go to work with a motorcycle and my S2 recognize it as a sporty activity (cycling): is there a way to stop this behaviour?
Thanks

GS, I'm with you. I have the exact same problem. Every day I have to zero out the record for that day and then I turn off the cycling tracker (hoping that it just might stay disabled, but of course it never does). I wish there was a way to permanently disable this tracker, as I seldom ride a bicycle and could easily do without tracking this activity...
There automatic activity recognition settings in S Health. Just go to settings
Sorry but I don't have this option...
It seems that you can disable all automatic detections, and that you can not select with detection disable...

I have this same issue, the only solutions I've found are:
1) Download S-Health and disable it through manage items, but that does nothing.
2) Contact Samsung for support, which I've read is basically the first solution.
I want to set my watch for all my notifications but I think it's weird how you can't disable a function like that. I also tried factory resetting my watch to no avail...
Same problem here.
I don't want to disable cycling because i DO cycle sometimes and want to record it.
What annoys me is everytime I step in my car or ride a motorbike it detects me as cycling for a few hours.
Seems to be no way to disable it.
Anyone found a fix?
I'm still having the same problem. Strangely, it only seems to happen in my truck. When I drive the sedan, nothing happens and my watch works as intended. i'm not sure what I do in the truck that has my watch convinced I'm cycling down the highway at 70 MPH.
I've had to run off auto-detect which makes me sad because I forget to log my walking and my elliptical all the time. The watch we very good at detecting these 2 activities.
For future users who end up here with a google search:
the workout auto-detection settings are not the the S-Heath (or now "Samsung Health") app on your phone, they are in the S-Heath app that's on the watch itself. In last screen, "settings"
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

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
Hello,
I have a two-day new Gear S3, and I´m very happy with it, except for the following weird thing:
I have my S3 configured with "Watch Always On" display. After the normal timeout of 15 seconds without touching or rotating the bezel, the watchface screen gets dimmed (but still shows my watchface). This is OK.
The problem is when I start a workout (walking, or any exercise): at first the S-Health screen correctly shows the beginning of the recording of my workout and its data (duration, distance, etc), but after the normal timeout (15 seconds), the watch returns to the dimmed "clock" watchface, instead of going to a "dimmed" version of the S-Health screen.
This is very annoying because to see the stats of the ongoing workout, I have to touch the watch and rotate left the bezel to get the information. And after 15 seconds ... again the clock !!
I have seen in some youtube videos that runners start their run and they always have available the scren with the distance, speed, duration, etc.
Have I some configuration wrongly set ? I have tryed all the possible combinations I could find.
I have a Gear S3 with the latest firmware 3.0.0.2, and all the applications are up to date.
Thank you for any help.
