Hi,
I was wondering if anyone is using a heart rate monitor app for their Samsung Gio. I have been looking at purchasing the Polar or Zephyr blue tooth heart rate monitor chest straps models. Both require blue tooth version 4. So my other question is does the Samsung Gio support blue tooth version 4 and does the latest release of CyanogenMod have the supported drivers already installed.
Thanks,
bandito40
Ok. So I did some research and found out that the blue tooth for a samsung gio is 2.1 so there is not blue tooth heart rate monitor that works with it as far as I know. I will keep looking at other apps and see what I find out.
Google Play says "This app is incompatible with your Fido Samsung GT-S5660." Even if it did since I installed the lastest release of CyanogenMod the camera with these release is not working. Also I am looking for a heart monitor that continuously monitors my heart when I exercise and not one the I can check from time to time.
Thanks for the reply however.

There is an issue with WatchON with the tab 3 8.0 I was wondering if any one else can replicate.
I can only select the correct channel lineup for zip my zip code and it requires a set top to be configured when I do not have one on any of my TVs.* Not a big deal as the tv channel to be changed can be configured to us My TV except that the Watch Now from the channel guide doesn't work.*
Testing using the OTA (over the air antenna) no set top is required and the Watch Now from the guide works correctly and allows the Watch Now to work from the guide. Problem is the channel line up is now incorrect and only show 10 to 15 channels and not the cable tv lineup of 0 to 68.
I have replicated this issue and would love to test a newer version but the tab3 8.0 comes with version 1.0.68 and it doesn't allow an update to 1.0.77 on the market.* The updated is not released or available that I can locate. Tried the same on the tab 3 7.0 and tab 3 10.1 at bestbuy.
Watch On works perfectly with the S4 phone and even allows a toast notification to stay in the drop-down notifications and the quick channel volume change is really nice.* Samsung support was like what ever contact WatchOn via email. No response from Samsung or watchon via twitter. Usually Samsung is pertty good, but I'm pretty disappointed with this loss of functionality of this app on the Tab 3 compared to the s4 phone.
Thanks in advance!
I had a chance to test with 2 demo models at Best Buy last night. The tab 3 10.1 and 7.0 both exhibited the same functionality not working with the application.
Interestingly the WatchON version was different on each tablet but so was the Android OS version. Surprisingly the OS version on the 8 and 10 is the same but the version WatchON version was different.

Does anybody know of a compatible heart rate monitor for this device? I'd like to use it together with runtastic pro to keep track of my progress. So far I haven't been able find any info on this.
I want to make a list with nice apps for our Sony Smartwatch 3.
Which apps are you using?
Give us some good apps, why they are great/better and if possible with their links! Please read and don't post doubles.
My List for now:
APPS:

Task Manager
See whats happening and force close apps..
Wear Battery Stats
Wear Battery Stats, monitor your Android Wear device battery life and when an app is installed, updated or uninstalled.
Evernote for Android Wear
Take notes and sync them with your computer

Sony Walkman App
Musicplayer compatible to sync music offline to the watch.
tinyCam Monitor Pro (PAID)
Lets you "send" a camera feed to your watch so you can watch it there.
Ghostracer Beta
Very nice running app for standalone watch support. Use Bluetooth smart HRM monitors and listen to music with the Walkman app at the same time.. Many features and upload possibilities to Strava and other running apps (in future). Join this LINK for BETA.
PixtoCam
Camera remote tool. Kinda handy for making stop motion video's with your phone!

For now a good app to control the Philips Hue lamps from the watch.

Track the name of a song with the watch's mic.

I have not used this app very long, but it has worked great so far to allow me to easily lower the brightness below the normal settings. This will be great at night. I went ahead and purchased it for a dollar from the play store to support the developer, but the developer is offering it for a free trial right now thru 12/21/14.

Thanks! I like the idea but at my watch it looks like a black/brown layer on top instead of adjusting the brightness. For example with "wear mini launcher" you can adjust the brightness below the normal settings. Only thing is when screen turns off and on again, brightness setting is to default again... <br />
Your app holds its settings, so that's a good workaround for now.<br/>
Check this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixtogram.wear.zicam. For me is the best taking photos on Sony SW3
Does anyone know how to activate the Android Wear channel in ITTT? I can't seem to figure it out, tried opening ITTT on the watch, tells me to use the phone and then the phone has no obvious place to enable it (well other than the activate android wear channel--but that doesn't work haha)
Does anyone know how to make a negative watch face when the watch is "resting"? What I mean is, when the watch goes into rest mode and you see the e-ink display of the watch face, it would be nice to have that in a negative tone. You'd be able to see it better.
I use Facer and have different displays depending on whether the watch is active or idle. Active has full digital information, idle just shows hands. I assume something like what you are after may be possible.
Just to add;
Ghostracer Beta (GPS, Bluetooth HRM support, Syncs with Strava and all others that sync with Strava (my fitness pal, runkeeper etc.)) -- Works by itself! No phone required.
Walkman App beta (Lets you transfer Mp3s to your device that aren't through Play Music. Does it via Playlists rather than "everything" like Google Play Music.) -- Listen directly from your watch to bluetooth headsets! Great for listening with leaving your phone at home on runs/walks.
Tinycam Monitor (PRO) -- Paid -- Lets you "send" a camera feed to your watch so you can watch it there.
Wear Calendar -- I like this calendar above the rest currently out there
At work -- Useful time keeping wear app to check in and out of work to manage your timecard
Flopsy Droid -- Flappy bird rip off because why not??? This app actually makes a lot of sense for a wear device.

I have used Facer for this with my home made Casio watchface ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956934
Watchface for Facer, Casio White ). I prefer the new white, with digital big clock in ambient mode...
At the moment I'm trying the "Watchmaker" app with the same Casio face. It has more options to tweak...
Will update this section soon with all of our new "must have apps"..
I'm really enjoying the Walkman app that imnoob55 mentioned in his post above. I found it at this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728110 ) and it's working flawlessly on my Note 2 paired with my Sony Smartwatch 3.

I think this question belongs in the Question section!
Turn on the Whatsapp notifications on your phone. That should do the trick...

Is somebody using Watchmaker ? I can't get it to work properly, it seems that there is some sort of lag with the minute while in ambient mode. Facer is working fine but Watchmaker has weather icons out of the box.

I converted my watchface made in Facer to a Watchmaker face, but had a batterydrain and some other issues. Maybe it's just me but at the moment I'll stay with Facer. I actually like the variety of features from Watchmaker though..

I use Facer too, but now I have the same problem since the last update. The minutes are always 1 minute late and update when I wake up the watch.
Has anyone been able to use the {shr} tag in WatchMaker to display a heart rate on the SmartWatch 3 using any kind of heart rate monitor (BTLE or other)?
I have a Jabra Sport Pulse that can work standalone with Ghostracer to display heart rates in the Ghostracer app on the watch, but it still doesn't display the heart rate in the {shr} tag on my WatchMaker watchface.
Apparently some people have gotten it to work (judging from some Reddit threads) with some watches, but not necessarily the SW3.
If you would like to see this bug fixed, please go to its WatchMaker bug tracking page and vote for it: http://watchmaker-bugs.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=98799

I was wondering which apps are really recommended to install when starting using the watch (or Android wear watch in general)
e.g. sleep as android or remote camera
and is there an app like flux or screen filter for smartwatches (to dim the screen for dark areas cause brightness 1 is still too bright)
No one that can recommend cool Android Wear apps?
Always On watch, PDF reader, Weareal, Wear edge controls...
Feel the Wear
If you have a Logitech Harmony, I recommend Harmony Wear.

no, don't have one
flux and sleep as android both have plugins that work with the watch
i have both of them paid versions
f.lux controls your watch screen as well as your phones
and sleep as android monitors your movement and heart rate etc when you wear the watch to sleep. (i charge it in the morning as soon as i wake up, and its at 100% before i am (shower food etc) )

Id love to know, why, when I click either one of those links, and see the play store, and I click to see which of my devices are compatible with the apps, both apps tell me that my Huawei Watch is incompatible, theres an X next to my watch in the device compatibility list (and a checkmark next to my Note 5)

One reason could be if you're on the Developer Preview. If so, you have to install directly on the watch with the watch's Play Store.
Bought an Android!! Good luck for anyone else in my shoes. Thanks apple for me going to the other side.
Make a watch with a real clock faces and a phone that works with other watch's.
-----------------------
I have an Iphone and no Android. I have ADB working right now and like to side load some faces but they all have a .watch file. Can I put the application of Facer or WatchMaker on the watch and then adb a .watch file? Need a way to make this work and I know there are a-lot of smart Tech Cats out there!! Please Help
Cant find any .APK of nice watch faces or even Rolex Mov and others!
1. Install watchmaker from the playstore on your smartphone.
2. Go to https://plus.google.com/communities/106982503578105386202
3. Find a watchface you like, then download it or send it to your dropbox. (I use dropbox myself)
4. Download the .watch file to your smartphone. (I use export from Dropbox to Downloads folder on my Nexus)
5. Open watchmaker and use the "import" button on the top-right of the app and browse to where you saved the .watch file
That's it. Now you can use the watchface by clicking "Set Watchface".
^good stuff!
Best apps I use:
2048
Bees Recorder
Browser
File Boss
Find My Phone
Heart Trace. THE BEST APP IN THE UNIVERSE
Photos
Pocket Casts
Shazam
TypeIt Wear SMS
Yeah, to stay ontopic, here's my top favorites as of now:
Yatse (if you have a Kodi mediaplayer, you can use your watch as a remote and browse your media)
Domoticz (I use Domoticz as a home automation tool on a Raspberry and this app enables me to switch lights, heating, etc.)
Endomondo (for heartrate monitoring during workouts, but Fitbit is more accurate)
Spotify (I own BT wireless headphones and with this, I'm able to control my Spotify from my wrist instead of taking my phone out of my pocket)
I would recommend Coffee SMS for Android wear. However, I uninstalled it because it does not show group SMS. If they update it to show group SMS, then I will get it agian.
A Must Have!
SmartWear Dev
Automagic (the best one so far)
I've developed a flow that my mobile change to silent mode when I open the Theather Mode on my watch.
I also use another flows, start and stop a record on my mobile, make a call... and so on.
