Activity tracker - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought this device to help me track my activity, and analyse my sleep. Problem is this device can only be paired within the app, I can't pair it with regular Bluetooth process on the phone. Does anybody know a way to force pairing with the device code or a root app, that can manage devices more efficiently.
Why ? Because I want other apps to use the wrist band's data.

[Q] Sync only to Cloud

Hey Everyone!
I just bought a Moto 360 even though I have an iPhone. Through the use of a trusty old Xperia U I managed to do the first configuration and update to the latest O.S. on the watch, adding the Wi-Fi standalone connectivity.
The use I want to do of the device is the following:
Occasionaly, through the Android phone, add watch faces
Siply use the watch standalone for Steps, Heart Rate, and notifications maybe with Aerlink
At this point I would like to set the watch to connect to my home wifi network, and simply upload the fitness data to Google fit in the cloud, without ever using my old android phone (except for new watch faces or changing configuration or updates). Can anyone help me out in achieving this??
Thanks to all!!

Couple of Bluetooth doubts

Hi there. First of all, I'm NO root. So I can't use Wanam Xposed. Maybe we can help each other to solve these issues.
-Is it possible to disable bluetooth popup when enabling it? I don't want to select my already connected device each time I want to enable BT.
-Is it possible to change the default player for BT? When I'm connected to my car and I touch "play" button, the default Music app in the phone starts, not the lastest one or any other app. I'd like to open another app instead (podcast player).
-Is it possible to enable Bluetooth WITHOUT unlocking the phone? I mean, from the lockscreen. (I have fingerprint security)
Thanks!
Why?
This link doesn't make any sense, you wind up in the same place on a browser instead of the app that I paid for that doesn't work.
Pp.
AFIK there is no way to hide the Bluetooth popup without root. Also I don't mind the popup, better than having to go all the way through settings to connect to a Bluetooth device that I am not already paired with. also if multiple Bluetooth devices in the area that are paired you will just connect to one and you will have to go to settings to switch to the other device.
Default player would also have to be changed through root, If you even can.
And no you cannot turn off anything or open notifications when there is a screen lock. The whole point is to stop people from doing things to your phone while it is locked. However you can setup safe locations (uses gps to find your location) where your phone will stay unlocked just like when you have a trusted device connected via Bluetooth.

Connectivity problems?

I've had the SSW2 for a while, and it worked with the Samsung Galaxy S4 that I had (I think I used it with one other device, but I can't quite recall). I had some connectivity issues, but none of them stopped the function of the watch. However, when I got the S6 (LL 5.1, then updated to M6.0), it outright stopped working. It's being recognized through Bluetooth, but I'm not receiving any notifications, nor are any of my apps coming through onto the watch (Watchify, Find Me, GPS, etc). I'm getting the standard set of apps (settings, calculator, etc.).
Any ideas on what the issue might be? I've reset the watch a number of times, uninstalled and reinstalled both the Smart Connect and SSW2 apps as well, and as far as I'm aware, I've got the latest firmware on the watch installed too. What am I missing?
I don't know if it is related, but what I'm experiencing is somewhat similar. I use my SW2 for controlling music and a sports app during cycling or running. Endomondo or Runtastic are the sports apps I use, both have SW2 extensions. They appear to work fine when I'm trying it with the phone in front of me, but more often than not when starting my run (with my phone in a small backpack) it seems to have a connection, but neither Endomondo or Runtastic respond to the watch. I feel it might have something to with the power save modes on Android 6, perhaps Doze?
After googling a bit I think I have fixed the issue I had with my sports trackers. In the Battery use settings page you can add apps to the 'not optimized' list. I've added Smart Connect and Smartwatch 2 to this list. Now I seem to be able to interact with both trackers even if my phone is in deep sleep... This has to be tested during actual cycling yet, but it appears to be working.
Nevermind, tried it this weekend with a mountainbike ride and when I wanted to start neither Runtastic or Endomondo responded to the smartwatch... The smartwatch indicated an active connection, but that's it.

Delete nfc data in sw3

Hello.
I recently accidentally put my sw3 under my phone and it opened wear app by scanning watch via NFC. It would be very nice if I could program that NFC anyway I want. But NFC Tools says it's read-only... I managed to add that NFC as trusted device in SmartLock and it can unlock my phone now, but after that it also opens wear app... Because it's a watch, not a tag maybe there's the way to reprogram it?
Thanks

ability to share data with Garmin

hi all,
a bunch of my friends have Garmin watches and trackers and are able to setup challenges that the all work towards but now that Samsung took it away from the Health app I have no way of partaking in that too. Is there any way to make it so that I can share my data with the Garmin Connect app? The watch isn't appearing on there either and it's a shame not to be able to partake in the challenges

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can use third party apps to sync data from Samsung health to Garmin connect. But it won't sync the steps though. It can sync the activities like running, walking, cycling etc. If I remember it correctly, it is called sync my tracks app.
