if I use to run simultaneously endomond do not mark your steps running motobody but if not use Endomondo or similar use if I mark the steps .Your motobody either because the body is prepared only to read steps and strides that is not what is given to run. and also when I use the sportstrackslive as I can do to qeu just read me the BPM of the band not the clock . Regards and thanks

HI - first post so please excuse any errors - Does anyone know of any software for my HD that will record GPS positions over time ? (at regular intervals etc) - I do a lot of longer distance running and would be interested in carrying my HD for a run to record distance, speed etc from the GPS. Also for walks etc - which I can then analyse later (ie prob record GPS positions at set intervals etc)
Does anyone know any software that will do this for me please ?
I'm using trackr to record my bicycle rides; works like a charm. The only drawback is that you have to leave the screen on.
Another possibility is trip tracker sportsmate
yes they look great thanks - will give it a try
track your run/walk etc
try smartrunner from http://www.smartrunner.de

run.gps
Run.gps is incredible software. It is absolutely the best software I have on my phone. Heres a few of its features:
1. You can plan routes on google earth and export them to your phone. Then it will display the route on your phone and you can even tell it to read out the directions of the route during your run.
2. It logs the position of your run, which can be viewed in google earth after your run.
3. It can read out to you anything you want during your run. eg. I set mine to tell me my speed, average speed, distance to the end of the route and time to the end of the route every 2mins.
4. It saves all of your training plans - giving a report for distance run, calories burnt etc. You can view these in a weekly/monthly format to see how much you have been doing.
5. Screens are customisable. You may not want to view a live update on a map as you run, you may just want to see your speed, distance run, calories burnt etc...So you can set the screens up exactly how you want. Theres a function to keep the backlight on during use so you dont have to keep pressing the on button during your run.
6. It can be used for loads of other sports not just running.
7. Can be used for interval training and marathon training.
8. Buying the software gives you membership to a site where you can plan/ view your routes and other peoples. As well as view all your training plans.
9.The software is totally finger friendly.
10. You buy the software in a bundle with a 'tune belt' neoprene holder which is pretty good for the Touch HD.
Anyway, hope that helps - I really recommend the software and theres a free trial for a certain period. I tried it before I brought it.
Regards,
Richard

Hello !
Is there any instruction how to control the fibaro automation system ( Home center 2 ) with the Moto 360 ?
There are videos on youtube but no instructions.
Please help.
I have a Vera system, so it's a bit different. I mainly use Tasker to do the trick, no voice control because that takes me way too long to say and finish. A few swipes is easier. I do however have some Tasker commands in Commandr, but never use them. I let Tasker create a notification and use AuthomationHD handle the switches.
Dom Esposito gives a nice overview in his youtube video 'Android Wear Home Automation Explained!', but doesn't uses Fibaro but shows all the other steps. Connecting the Fibaro app can be difficult, however with Tasker you can send an intention to your computer and let your computer do all the work. You can also simulate touches, but that's a bit too much I guess.
Check out http commands (via Tasker and i guess AutoRemote) : search the fibaro forum for 'beta api http commands'
Here an example for the RGBW controller - go to the uk fibaro site and find 'controlling-fibaro-rgbw-module-via-api' in the tutorials section ( I cant post links)
If you can acces all http commands you should be able to use Tasker together with Commandr to get what you want. Post your results if you like!
So, being an outdoor guy, i love getting to play with technology and the outdoors, but sadly, the Android Wear platform is still lacking a bit. For yits and giggles though, i decided to try a program called Alpine Quest (which for those who dont know, is an app that can load topo and other maps from various sources, and of course, show you where you are on them). It took a bit of manual work, but surprisingly, works REALLY well. For anyone like me who wants to have standalone topo maps on their watch, here are some simple instructions to get it set (to do this, you will need either your companion phone, or another android device):
1) Install Alpine Quest (AQ) on your phone/tablet/etc
2) Install AQ on your watch (following one of many sideloading tutorials or tools), but don't run yet (don't worry, wont break things if you do)
3) Open AQ on your main device, and download offline maps of your choice (keep in mind the limited storage on the watch, so don't go crazy with the tiles...)
4) Once everything is downloaded, using a file explorer, locate the "alpinequest" folder on your phone (commonly on the root of your internal "sdcard"), and zip it up (the whole thing, not just bits and pieces)
5) Copy the data zip to the computer that you used to sideload with on the watch
6) Push this zip (again, suggest using one of the available AW tools) to phone (again, root of "sdcard" storage is perfect)
7) Using a file explorer on the watch (ES works great, but take your pick), extract the zip to the root (should wind up with an alpinequest folder just like you had on your phone).
8) Open AQ on the watch!
The steps look bad, but they really aren't Basically, since AQ on the watch cant directly connect to the internet (right now), you have to use your phone to do the heavy lifting, and put the results on the watch. Once you have the maps, the app works perfectly-
- You can use the watch GPS for exact location (hopefully you got maps for where you are/plan to be)
- You can zoom/navigate/etc just like on a full size device (in fact, i would recommend learning on the phone just to get an idea).
I am sure most will pan this as stupid or overkill, but i love knowing that little by little, my watch is jsut as useful as a real outdoor backup to my phone, and that it can do so much. Hopefully, this guide helps other outdoor nerds like me.
Where can I find AW tools?
THX
hi
could you elaborate a few points
link for side loading tutorial
link for aw tools (what is aw tools?)
thanks
HOW do you get the maps to your watch???
Instructions are missing far to many points... You also keep refering to PHONE and NOT WATCH!!!!!
Hi,
do you know someone capable of modifying the organization of the keys on the screen of an application.
I tested the alpinequest app on stratos 3 the display of traces and IGN maps works. But to save your track the record button and in the bottom right corner so in the rounded corners of the watch suddenly inaccessible ....
otherwise the application will be perfect for realizing the topo .. thank you for helping me
Hi everyone.
For those who don't know, the Nexus 5 was cursed with an imprecise refresh rate. The display controller sets it based on a hardware pot that is often out-of-spec from the factory. As a result, the phone has refresh rates around 58hz, instead of 60hz like it reports to software. The original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...how-fix-stuttering-concerning-58-6hz-t2989311
Anyway, I thought I'd try to poll and see whether or not the issue was fixed with this phone. If you guys would help me I'd much appreciate it. Just follow these steps to measure what the phone's refresh rate actually is:
1. Download an old version of RetroArch from here: http://buildbot.libretro.com/stable...-v7a/1.0.0.0/RetroArch-armv7-v1.0.0.0-r28.apk
(The newer version on the play store lacks the calibration option)
2. Install the program and run it.
3. Select "Settings", then "Video", then "Calibrate Refresh Rate"
4. Follow the screen prompts and report your results here.
Ideally the result will be somewhere between 59.94hz (NTSC timing) and 60.00hz.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all!
I am wondering what the "exercise" tracking option is exactly. I could not find any description for it anywhere. Does it mean weightlifting specifically, as the small logo suggests?
Has anyone found a way to track generic activities that are not specifically available? Such as martial arts, rock climbing or inline skating?
Thanks for the answers!
"Excercise" should be any generic activity where you want to have HR measured in realtime and stats recorded as a workout.
The band is aimed at tracking activities which involve changing your location (walking, running, biking or swimming). It measures distance with GPS and/or steps (based on the activity). It can't measure and show any specific information for "stationary" sports like martial arts or climbing, so you won't find these in the official application. However Notify & Fitness offers many different types of activities, even though it's probably more for statistic purposes than anything else. There might be different calories profiles for each activity, but app or band can't really know how intensive your activity is, so it is mainly a guessing anyway.

Thanks! So the "Exercise" activity is exactly what I'm looking for. Measuring HR and stats for any unspecified workout. Perfect! It would be awesome to have something similar that also includes GPS in the log. To track things outdoors. Maybe with a future update, I submitted a request via the app.
Anyone who would also like this feature feel free to submit a request through the feedback function in the app
Thanks for the tip with N&F too!

Well, for an outdoor activity with GPS you already have "walking" exercise. If you want more categories, N&F is your best friend, additionally to the type of activity you can also define what do you want to measure, if you want special notifications (too high/low HR, moving between HR zones etc.). Definitely worth a try - but with a word of warning - don't get discouraged by quite complex UI, it takes time getting used to it.
