Intro
Android Wear is becoming one of the most popular wearable’s out in the market right now, and what some people miss about these devices is that they can double as a fitness band and step counter and some even have heart rate monitoring capabilities. Now you wont get much out of this detail with Google Fit until the app is more robust, so in this guide we are going to recommend another app to help with your fitness goals; MyFitnessPal…
MyFitnessPal
MyFitnessPal is in our opinion the most robust app in the app market for loosing weight. This app is cross compatible to almost every mobile OS, it is 100% FREE, comes with a stellar food database, and is loaded with features. We recommend you try it, or chances are you are already using it. Sign up for free at http://www.myfitnesspal.com, and download the app from your respective marketplace.
Android Wear
The following tutorial is for android wear smart watches. If you are in the market for one, we recommend the below as they have all the features required, and are the bests one on the market now.
What you need (Hardware)
You will need the following equipment to complete this guide.
Android Smart Watch
Android Smart Phone running 4.4+
Software you need
Up by Jawbone (not Up24)
MyFitnessPal
Instructions
If you haven’t already download the Up from Jawbone app from google play, while your there you might as well download MyFitnessPal if you don’t already have it.
Open the Up app and signup with Jawbone then sign in if needed.
Tap the menu button in the top left corner (The three lines). Then tap settings and finally tap Application Preferences.
Make sure phone motion sensor is turned on.
Go home and tap the watch icon on the top right. Your watch should be connected to the app, if not check that your smartwatch is paired with your phone, turned on and is in range, then restart the app.
Go to the MyFitnessPal app.
Click the menu button, scroll down and tap settings. Then Click Steps.
Tap add a device then choose Jawbone UP.
Click Connect, then sign in if it asks and click allow.
Your done!
Now your smartwatch will report steps to the UP app, which in turn will send the data to MyFitnessPal and log your calories burned.
Keep in mind it may take 24 hours for your steps to start showing up in the myfitnesspal app after performing the above steps.

How do you connect your moto 360 with up app? For me only my phone is displayed on the upper right but not my moto 360?

Thanks, I was able to use your steps to connect my 360 to LoseIt as well.

Thank you. I was looking for a way to circumvent the fact that Google Fit doesn't communicate its information out to any 3rd party apps which would then tie into MyFitnessPal. This worked great. Seavers11, I had the same issue initially but after the setup I exited the UP application, came back in and the watch icon had replaced the phone icon in the upper corner.

The thing is you have to wait for the up app to install on your watch. hit the resync apps button in the wear app and you should be good to go!

You are welcome dude!

Another way is to use withings. Connect it to your google fit and my fitness pal accounts and it will sync your steps from google fit through to my fitness pal.
What I've found is that it only appears to sync steps around an hour after you have took your watch off. Maybe its waiting until you appear to have stopped for the day?

Thanks for this. It does take a while for myfitnesspal to update with the steps.

Yes he is but I find the up app is more accurate when used with my fitness pal
I have been using it and it works pretty good. Battery life on both watch and phone are unaffected

Thanks for this it help a lot

Major find here.... THANK YOU!!!!

just followed your instructions and got everything setup
guess i'll have to wait a day or two to see my data in the respective apps
it's too bad Google Fit doesn't track all this by itself... i assume it did before i purchased the watch

Got everything setup thanks

Thanks so much I need this, for do all the use for my M360

Thanks for the info. I tried to use it for several months but the calorie adjustments were way out of wack. I got tired of inaccurate information syncing with myfitnesspal and inability to sync running data without it double reporting. I am trying this new app now called FatSecret and syncing my walking & running data with Google Fit. Time will tell if this is a better combination...

Thanks.. works great.

I use an app called cinch... It syncs your steps and also records your heart rate at set internal from your watch to Google fit.

I gave in and just bought a Fitbit Charge. Jawbone UP shows me with 30% more steps, and there doesn't appear to be any way of correcting that.

[Q] Cannot use apps on new Moto 360

UPDATE: It just started working correctly about a half hour after doing all this. If you will tell me how to delete this thread, I will, I cannot find a delete button anywhere.
Hello everyone,
I have scoured the internet and this forum but have not seen anyone else with a similar problem. I like to think I'm pretty tech savvy, but I could just not be using the damn thing correctly. I just purchased a Moto 360, and I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. All my OS are up to date. I have Motorola Connect and the Android Wear app installed. I still cannot get 3rd party apps to appear on my watch. I contacted Motorola and they suggested clearing my system cache (which I didn't think would help but did anyway).
I found a thread on here about the new watch faces not appearing, so I followed the instructions there to completely reset my watch and phone so that everything was back to default. I've reset the watch back to factory, I removed all Android Wear apps from my phone, I even removed AdBlock Plus and everything related to the Samsung Fit that I had just in case they were causing problems. I then reinstalled the Motorola Connect and Android Wear apps, and had the Android Wear look for the watch as a new device.
I still cannot get any apps to appear on the watch, and I bought this specifically so I could use Viper's new SmartsStart 4.0 app when they release it.
Am I just doing something wrong, is it defective, or is there something else?
Thanks in advance.

Don't delete! I just got a Moto360 and have the same problem. Thank you for putting the UPDATE, I'll wait awhile and see if the 3rd apps I downloaded transfer to the watch. I've already tried to sync it and I've tried restarting the watch.

Google Play Store Not Connecting

Has anyone else had any issues with the Play Store on their Fire TV? I updated the Play Store on mine to a newer version, mainly because every time I tried to download something I'd get stuck with that annoying spinning circle. Now when I go into, I get a message saying it can't connect to the Internet, even though the other apps on my Fire can. I'm even typing this on my Fire through Firefox, after being told by the Play Store there's no connection. Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to download the game Implosion: Never Lose Hope, and I know I can get it through Aptoid, but the thing stops a little more than half way through giving me an error, forcing me to start it over again from the beginning. Thanks in advance.

Bump, bumpity, bump. Am I the only one who's experienced this? For a while, the Play Store was already acting funky, taking forever to start a download, if it did. At least then it connected, but now I get nothing. I'm not a noob to Android, but little things like this confuse me a bit, especially when comparing the settings on my Fire, S4, and Tab 3 8.0. They all look similar. Oh, well, maybe I missed some small thing that's hiding from me.

Google play store has stopped working on the Fire phone as well.

I can open it but all there is is a white screen with a search bar. And the search bar doesn't pull up results. Is this happening to more users?

I wish I knew how to fix it. As long as I have it installed, even though I can't do anything with it, I can still play the games that require Google Play Store to be installed. The load issues with the Play Store were so annoying, I have been using Aptoid to download games. The downside to using Aptoid, though, is that when you look up something like Implosion: Never Lose Hope, only two pop up; the big one with a 1.1gig download and the smaller one that prompts for a data pack download. The big one stops a little more than half way through and I have to start all over again, and the smaller one never takes me to the download. The game I'm talking about is free, by the way, on the Play Store. It says only the first 6 levels are free and you have to pay to play the rest of the game, but it looks so cool. Anyway, had to get that out. Laters.

same here, first it was just the spinning circle on a white screen
I tried clearing the cache and data for all google relayed apps, rebooted
No dice, now it somehow still knows my Google account, but says it can't connect..

Last night on a different thread, I got a good tip. All we did was delete Google play services on aftv and play store worked again. Don't ask me why...I always assumed it was necessary but apparently not.

I started playing around with another app market I read about in a different thread on this forum called 1 Mobile Market. It looks kind of similar to the Play Store and references it on some of the apps. I haven't downloaded much with it yet except the game Implosion: Never Lose Hope, but it only downloaded a 20 MB apk, kind of like installing Dead Trigger and then the data pack, except the data pack never comes, so the market may be a little hit-or-miss.

Actually, I tried the same. I noticed that both google play service and google play store were updated automatically to some later version, so I uninstalled them and reinstall the old version (4.x), then I can launch google play store. However, only one. The second time, I launch play store, the same white screen showed up. And I can see bot play service and play store were (once again) updated to later version automatically.
I also have problem with youbue app now. It simply does not play video (sound is ok), not sure if it is related or not.

not in my case but i m looking for full version as only two stages can be played in demo version downloaded from store so if anyone can give me correct link or any kind of source of either full version or crack then it would be appreciated and helpful

Google Fit not counting steps without phone

Hi all,
I couldn't find a similar topic in the SW3 forum, so apologies if this is a duplicate. I'm finding my SW 3 (running 5.1.1) will not count my steps on its own, only when I have my phone with me. I only got the watch a couple weeks ago, so not sure if it is a problem with the 5.1.1 update. As far as I understand, the watch should be able to count the steps on its own and then sync with my phone later...is this not correct? I know it has GPS to track runs with Endomondo, but I thought it had its own pedometer as well.
If this is indeed supposed to work, any ideas to fix it?

Welcome to the nightmare that is google fit. It's just awful and broken. Sync always screws up between the watch and the phone. It really is a joke. I honestly don't understand how google can allow something like this to happen. I use the jawbone up app, only version 4.4 because the latest update broke android wear compatibility. Works perfectly. I'll just wait till google get their act together. Hopefully it'll be soon.

Sync doesnt work properly with messages either if you dismiss it on the watch it still shows on the phone and tablet.

Oh, darn. I really wanted this watch for the fitness features. Bummer that one doesn't work.
edit: So I'm doing some testing and I suppose it really is Fit not syncing. Present my watch indicator for steps (Pujie Black, that is supposed to be connected to Fit) says 2282. Google Fit (app on watch and phone) says 2223. I just left my phone and walked around the office a bit. Indicator didn't change from 2282, but when I opened the Fit app on my watch I saw it quickly change from 2223 to 2249 and then back to 2223. Phone also says 2223. That is incredibly frustrating.

permissions off?
try going into the settings and then permissions, i found that in the permissions menu google fit did not have permission to access the sensors, this could possibly be the problem

Verizon Xperia Play Market app keeps crashing/failing, can't get Play Storeonto phone

Hello all, reached into a drawer to mess with xperia play I want to sell after a few years. I have a 8 gb card in it (learned that it acts silly on usb without that), but the issue is that the Market app seems broken and the phone is seemingly not updating it to google play.
I seem to remember that back in the day my xperia play when reset would after a few minutes/hours of being connected to wifi and connected to a google account would update the Market app to the Play Store and things would work fine. Not this time. I"m worried that if I sell it like this the buyer will be unhappy and come back to me.
Market says:
"attention, a server error has occurred, retry or acancela nd return to the previous screen." Retrying twice puts it back on a load screen which seems to do nothing. Hitting menu button brings up search, my apps, settings and help as normal, help loads up website, settings brings up settings as seemingly normal...
Please help! Device is vanilla, unrooted, never was, and sd card is 8gb and freshly formatted.

Did you find a fix for this? IT was working great until I did a factory reset now I'm stuck with this error I have tried resetting again. Clearing data and catch it doesn't do anything.

Sadly no, no solution. I sold the phone and the buyer has left me positive feedback, I assume his intention was to go full out and put on a CFW to what he wanted with it. Someone on reddit suggested that gingerbread may to be too old to receive updates now and that all xperia plays might be in the same boat.
As for me, I'm using an Nvidia Shield, Tuvva gamepad and GP7 these days. I do miss the Xperia Play's portability and other strengths. If I could have a xperia play with updated specs and a 5 inch or bigger screen I would buy it on launch day.

I downloaded a Play Store apk and installed that and it automatically updates the market to Play store. Hope that helps.
