Has anyone gotten it to pair with a bluetooth 4.0 smart ready device? I am trying to get it paired with a heart rate monitor.
Thanks~!

Just letting anyone know that it is a confirmed bug and bluetooth 4.0 doesn't work

How about the new Jelly Bean ROMs for the Galaxy 3? Maybe (hopefully!) they have this issue fixed?
I do hope they fix this soon. I now use the Polar Wearlink Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor but I'd like to use the new Polar H7 HRM that has bluetooth and 5 kHz technology so you can also use it with your cycling computer and at the gym. I also hope it is more gentle with the battery.
The H7 works fine with my wife her iPhone 4S. It works great while cycling. You can monitor your ride with your cycling computer while the phone in your pocket records your ride with Endomondo and gives you advice if you have setup a specific training program.
Mine pairs flawlessly with a Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter. This is the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Q45EF4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
I am even running it on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise without issue, whereas others have trouble working correctly in Win x64.
I don't see how I can use that adapter on my Galaxy S3.

Does anyone knows if Wahoo BlueHR Heart Rate Strap works with ONE X and some heart rate programs?
Il should work because of the BT 4.0 support of One x, but everywhere I read that Wahoo support specifically Iphone 4s.
Thanks
Not sure, but the Zephyr HXM should, will confirm tomorrow when I get my One X!
Thanks, please let me know.
I'm interested in the Wahoo model though, because of the bluetooth 4 interface. It should have really long lasting batteries (ie one year!).

Hi, our BlueHR is compatible with the standard for Bluetooth 4.0. Any device with BT40 capabilities and an SDK should work. Ping us at support at wahoofitness if you need help.
I use the Polar wearlink bluetooth with every android phone, using sportstracker live pro.
I'm expecting my htc OneX and I'm sure it will work.
Quick confirmation - my Zephyr HRM works fine.
Heart Rate Monitor when looking for is consistent with the device or not?
I Wahoo BlueHR Heart Rate is no interface, but the phone finds it.
have you tried if the polar works with htc one x
Does anyone hva a solution for the Polar H7 heart rate sensor not working on HOX? The H7 utilizes the new bluetooth 4. The HOX supports this standard, but Android seems to lack native support for it?

I do not have a solution but I can share my experience. I just bought the Polar H7 this morning and successfully paired it with my Motorola Photon Q 4G which also supports BT4.0.
After reading a lot of user experiences on the Internet it seems that this isn't a native Android issue as many have suggested, rather, you need to make sure you are using a heart rate monitoring app that can detect BT 4.0 devices. I'm using MapMyFitness which works fine but I've seen reports of many other users using apps that do not detect heart rate on both Android and that other fruity OS when paired with the H7.
I hope this helps.
Hello all,
Is it possible to pair 2 bluetooth headphones (or earpieces) to the Galaxy note 2 at the same time?
So two people can listen to music from the same phone at the same time ?
Ive searched the internet & had no luck.
Please help.
Thanks.

I was recently searching about this setup. Closest I found (off another website can't remember) was the Sena SM10.
http://www.senabluetooth.com/products/sm10.php?tab_menu=overview
I just ordered "Monoprice Rechargeable Bluetooth Audio Transmitter and Splitter" for that purpose and crossing my fingers.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AJHAYCS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had previously tried Kokkia dual stream (~$60), but it was very flaky, so I had returned it. I may have to try out that Sena transmitter if Monoprice one doesn't work out either.
there's a new multi stream adapter out now that works great.
how-to-fix-earbuds.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-connect-two-bluetooth-headphones.html
No fix for that ?
I wish I could listen with a friend .
Or
Bluetooth and Earphone simultaneous ( at the same time )
Is that possible via software ?
I just read that the new galaxy s8 has this feature so apparently it's technically possible but not easy to duplicate. I would really like to have a working code for an android app and use this feature.
all blue tooth devices of the same type use the same digital address for example im trying to use 2 bludeo headphones at the same time but cant do it .
Because one transmitter is addressing only one digital address and not 2 , so if i try to connect a second headphone it will disconnect the first , even though it shows a second headphone on the list.
even if you buy and run a second transmitter you will still only connect to 1 headphone this is because the headphones all use and digital address of (0000).
it may be possible though to buy a device that will run simultaneous or multiple streams to Bluetooth devices with the same address.
So I bought the Polar H7 heart rate monitor belt. It transmits both on 5kHz and also BT 4/BT Smart/BLE. I tried to check beforehand if it was compatible, which was not easy as HTC does not say that One is BT Smart Ready (that is the term for a phone) and the accessory shall be BT Smart compatible. So this post is just to bring the good news and to say I got it to work
OK, it is not so difficult as both Polar H7 and One is listed on BT's official site. Then I guess it should be straightforward..
However the app Polar Beat which goes together with H7 is not compatible with One, I tried to install it, but it is not possible to get it to work. So then what?
You use another app as iCardio, Runtastic pro or Endomondo, Endomondo which just today got support for Bluetooth Smart.
This works OK. However for stationary training Runtastic will not calculate kcals, so using iCardio or Endomondo should be the solution. I have not tried either of the last two yet.
Edit: I tried Runtastic Pro, iCardio and Endomondo at the Gym, 1 hr 20 min of Circle training not too hard intensity, I got 1055 kcal burnt with Endomondo which seems very high.
With iCardio app I got 724 kcals burnt which seems more reasonably. Probably high too, but at least more likely.
So I guess to soon to be impressed by Endomondo's new support for BT Smart
The blocking of Polar Beat seems to me to be because of commercial partnering between Apple and Polar, and possibly Samsung.
I have even called Polar headquarter in Finland to get an answer, but they will not say anything.
Some places it says that Samsung S4 and S3 is beta testing for android, I do not know. Of course, it is possible.
Anyway the belt works with different android apps, but I miss the Polar Beat app which seems a little more refined and advanced.
I would think Polar would want to sell the belt H7 to as many customers as possible, but I guess they are comitted to Apple and possibly Samsung.
As the belt both communicates with 5kHz and BLE it will show your pulse on training equipment displays in the gym and also on a Polar BLE compatible monitor as RCX5 or another.
I understand your frustration.

I am in the same boat and I used to use Runkeeper to track my runs and i loved it. But it doesn't support this feature and after inquiring with their help team it seems as though they have no intention of supporting it any time in the NEAR future if at all. I have since moved over to Map My Run and Map My Fitness, they can log indoor activities and pair VERY easily with the Polar H7. It's not a perfect situation but I hope that helps you until everyone else catches up with the curve.
Yes, like you, I manage , but I hoped Polar would make it possible to use One with Polar Beat.
Or that it will be other good apps to use.
At the moment I use several, but am not happy with any one.
I have used several apps, among them iCardio which pairs easily.
I was surprised that Polar Beat have released an update April 29 and now it is possible to install the app on HTC One, M7 and probably lots of other mobiles with BT 4 /BLE.
Good news, I thought.
However, so far I am not able to pair and get the app showing heart rate.
I have used my One with H7 and 4 apps and never had any problems pairing.
I even used 3 or 4 at the same time to compare, and no problems.
So I hope Polar will fix the app in a coming update, or does anyone have a solution?.
Update : I fiddled around and finally managed to pair with both Beat and iCardio active and paired iCardio first. Then Beat found the H7 belt and heart rate worked and showed.
I will try out Beat now and see how things works.

Has anyone gotten the S health app to see this heart rate monitor? It pairs with the phone just fine and works with other apps. But S health does not see it. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Not Pairing
Hi borijess
I purchased the Polar H7 to work with my NordicTrack Treadmill C800 and it works fine. I tried to pair with my Note 4 and the Note states it is unable to communicate with the Polar H7. Most of the time it will not show up as a Polar H7 instead it shows the MAC Address. I downloaded the app called BLE Scanner and it see the Polar H7 and connects sometime. The Polar H7 is not listed within the S Health app as being compatible, maybe Samsung is trying to force us into buying there Smart watches and trackers.
Are you still able to connect to the Polar H7 with your Note 4
If you are having problems pairing with the H7 just make sure you try it within the app and not from the Bluetooth menu. And before you begin to pair the strap must be moistened and then attached to your chest otherwise it wont work. I had problems pairing it with my Galaxy Note because I did not moistened the strap.
I hope it helps
