My Tracks working very well with SW3! - Sony Smartwatch 3

Hi all,
I recently changed the following settings in My Tracks on my phone and it had translated into a very accurate GPS reading on my Sony Smartwatch 3 while running (without phone):
'Recording Distance Interval' = 1m
'GPS accuracy' = 10m (excellent GPS)
I should also note that prior to changing these settings my GPS accuracy was very erratic. The map at the end of my run would be all over the place. Now it looks bang on!
Mind you, I recently received an update to the latest Android Wear version so that may have done it too, as it said drivers were updated (didn't specify the devices or drivers updated).
Cheers!

Which update did you get? 5.1?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

My Android Wear version on my phone is 1.1.1.1876095.
The Android Wear version on my SW3 is 5.0.2

Hi! I have Sony smartwatch 3 from a few days. I can't be able to use my tracks in smartwatch stand alone mode. I have GPS on, start to record and I have always 0km/h. When I finish to record I don't see my trip but only time without others informations. Where I am doing wrong thing? How can I use it in right way? Whit endomondo it works, but in a bad way, a point every many minutes.
sorry for my bad English.
Thanks to all

Endomondo
I am using Endomondo and watches as stand alone device for skating and riding bike and works great (20-25% battery useage per hour). Tracking is more better than on my mobile phone.
Android wear OS: 5.1.1
Android on phone: 4.4.2

How you did it? I received my SW3 today, with the ultimate Wear update; and I'm not able to show the GPS options on Endomondo app.

I have Endomondo 11.2.1 And setting is in 3 points menu on home Endomondo screen: 3 points->Settings->Smart watches->Android Wear where is last down line GPS and could be switched between phone and watches.

Guys how we missed this?
Since 9th of December this app:

Added standalone support for GPS running with our SW3.
We have to try it.

but can we export the training to other app? like runkeeper?
I don't think so. But it's a nice way to try a new service and website.
Tried this today... Only good thing over ghostracer is looks, but that's it. More functionality and ambient with ghostracer.
Actually I find this app more than enough. It just works. Settings are easy to use and all tipical info is displayed.
I know ghostracer is great having the developer here, but ifit is the best other choice.
It's possible to see at the same time four fields of information.
And also when the app starts it waits for proper gps signal.
It's the closed ecosystem that is a non starter for me. Their website stinks and for serious runners, strava, runkeeper, etc are 100x better
I know, it depends how serious you're.
I just run for fun and I have enough with proper data in my wrist, basic cloud storage and web service.
At the moment it's the only decent alternative to Ghostracer beta...
I see now they even are promoting the SW3
https://www.ifit.com/sonywatch
I think they deserve a little more attention. They are the first of the professional running web services to develope serously for our watches.
Most serious runners or bikers have never heard of ifit. They cater more to the gym treadmill crowd with their built in software. Not saying it's bad, but most serious runners have garmin, polar, or sunutoo, or tomtom. Which have their own services and many sync to strava and runtastic.
With ghostracer hrm support, lapping, and future alerts, it smokes ifit
Sure, I also think ghostracer is the most serious project with our watch.
Just saying this is the best other (not beta) choice right now.
I just got a new SSW3 today and it has a iFit logo on the box.

gps accuracy?
Just wondering how is the gps accuracy for this app?
I have tried runkeeper, and I have no way knowing if the gps is connected or not.
Just tried ifit, only run for around 1.6km and it reported too short to save to the phone and just deleted the record.
I don't usually run a long distance, and this isn't a app for me if can't record short distances. :crying:
Otherwise, the GPS seems to be better than runkeeper. At least it keeps track of my run even I am under a sheltered walkway.

Mine started updating today without any "special" procedure...
I'm in portugal...
Worked for me!
Thx !
Did not worked for me without resetting ...
Finally got it to go for my 360 here in the USA but I did have to do the factor reset, twice. But it is downloading the update now.
Got the update via OTA. Is there a change log for this update?
Looks like tapping the screen does not bring up the Menu screen anymore. Have to swipe right to left to now get to that screen.
Also, Ambient Mode is now truly always on. It dims after several seconds but you can still see the watch face. Before, it would dim and then turn off only to turn on if you move the watch face towards you.
Actually did work. The only issue is to wait for the package to mysteriously download to the watch (a.k.a. hmmm my moto 360 is warmer than usual). Kinda sucks to not have a warning that the package is being downloaded when an update is detected and not when it is ready to install the update.

Anyone knows how to force android wear 1.4?
I've tried the method mentioned in the first post but didn't worked. Waiting for other methods.
Did not work for me (made reset twice) with 12.8519685, 74.8503558 .
Watch shows weather from India, but 'system is up to date'.
Will try to leave these fake GPS coordinates for a few hours.

So... let's be patient

Google Fit standalone GPS Tracking

Just noticed today that the Google Fit - Fit Activity App run tracker works on standalone gps on the sw3!
Seemed to work pretty well for me. Ghostracer has not been working so well for me last week or two so it came at a good time.
It does work very well indeed. The fit challenge is now in the fit activity app, but they should really combine all the functions in one app.
I think it's brilliant, saves having a whole load of other fitness trackers to sort through - finally all in one place with one app.
Just one fault/question - it is supposed to be able to track your heart rate if you have it on a Smartwatch, which the SW3 doesn't have. Instead I have the Jabra Pulse Sport for heart rate tracking, which has smart Bluetooth, but I can't for the life of me get it to connect to Google Fit.
Does it map your run for you on a map? Or just calculating distance, etc.

It maps it for you.
I found this out recently as well and have since uninstalled other run tracking apps
I use now endomondo, because of gps... however it doesn't pre-plot a route for you to follow, only plots where you've been. gtdRR, so you're saying fit does provide a plotted route? Wow, then I will install fit and try it.
update: The app was already on the watch, tried it but I never saw a map? Endomondo lets you see a map
How do you enable standalone gps on the SW3 for Google Fit?

you just start a Fit activity and it connects to gps automatically even when not connected to the phone.
I just find it strange the it always shows me a slower pace than ghostracer
How does it sync the GPS data after the run? In my case it seems to stay in the watch forever unlike Ghostracer, which syncs very nicely.
You are right, a 5km run can take more than 1 hour to be visible on the phone.
During this time, the run disappear from the watch, and you won't have any idea if the data is lost or not.
The experience is horrible.
But at the end, that's fine, after the frustration
Yeah have the same experience, has anyone find a easy way to export from google fit to endomondo as I have a challenge going on there? right now im using takeout.google.com but that takes for ever.
My Endomondo smartwatch app keeps uninstalling (non english setup). so I use google fit.
And lost a workout do to Endomondos faling sync.

This is what I got on my first test today
I just did 'Start Activity' on the phone.
It did track my distance, not sure what happened to GPS.
SAD PANDA
I can't find the "start activity " option on the watch. There is only open on phone option. Anyone else with similar problem?
Fit doesn't have one on the watch
Fit has a "start activity" button on the watch Otherwise there are also another app called "start activity" in the app list on the watch.

Honor 7x BND-AL10 model - App autoclosing after few minutes

Hey guys, just got the AL10 model few days back and so far loving it. Everything is working fine really but just 1 application that used to work flawlessly in my previous phones (Samsung S5 and Iphone 5s) is having a trouble here. Thing is its a fitness band app (chinese app). It starts and in notification area it says "Application keep running" with a timer on it which tells since how long its ON. As its connected via bluetooth to my fitness band i want it ALWAYS on but after every say 30 minutes it vanishes from the notification area and software is no more running, everytime this happens i have to re run the app to connect to the band again.
Checked all settings, i.e. keep running in background is ON, close app on screen lock is OFF. Still its closing .. How to make it run permanently like other apps say the default health app its always on without any timer on it.
Any help in this is welcome as without this app my fitness band is useless and i can't go back to iphone 5s or Sammy s5.

Huawei gt 2 Satelite info out of date?

Hey i got my watch a week ago, and i though this would go away, but when i don't use gps for a day or two i constantly get this msg when i try to use it. I updated the watch to the latest firmware via Huawei Health app, so i don't get it whats the problem. Also GPS is highly inaccurate. Tried to reset the watch from settings, didn't help the only thing i didn't do is factory reset from huawei health app.

Hey, thanks for your reply. I had it every day when i turned it on. apox every time when I start, first of the day outdoor workout, i get the same message. And when i check the route in huawei health GPS is inaccurate in a way that it looks like a kid was drawing the path from start till end line, not a straight line but like a zig zag which is not the way i was going. I got an official email from huawei to change huawei ID (i dont know what it is, dont own a huawei phone, just watch) reinstall the app and choose my country as region, did all that but no luck, still getting same error and still not accurate.
I did however check the official goole play version and it is 10.0.2.333 while when i google download huawei health app the latest version i can download is 10.0.3.511. Idk if it makes any difference but i might try with that version.
I have exactly the same problem with my GT2. GPS worked perfectly for a month after I bought it but yesterday all of a sudden it doesn't seem to be able to pick up satellite signal. Once there was a pop-up message something about "satellite info not up to date" or similar, but the message disappeared so fast I didn't have time to read it and it hasn't appeared since.
i had that problem and it fixed itself.
Try to reset the watch
I have the Magic Watch 2, virtually the same watch, does exactly the same.
After an update, it is fine once, then the same message. Wouldn't even locate at all today. It's a nice watch but useless working as it does. I even have a new version of Huawei health installed, not the Play version. It didn't work with the play version anyway. I envisage there will be lots of folk with this issue. Huawei suggestions do not seem to work.
A reset seems to cure it once then the message comes back.
