Hey.
I did my first run with the SW3 paired with a Polar H7 using Ghostracer. It saved my heart rate the entire run but I couldnt see it while running.
I saw in the settings that you can edit the interface for running but it requires the pro app.
Is the paid version required to show heart rate while running or did I miss another setting?
angwar90 I can't answer your question mate but have one of my own to ask you lol. Can you use the Polar H7 and Bluetooth headphones all paired at the same time with the SmartWatch 3?

Yes, you can use both at the same time. The watch and Ghostracer also supports combined devices (HR+Headphone) such as the Jabra Pulse.

In order to customize the Android Wear Screen via the settings in the Smartphone app, you need the paid version.
You can also change the data fields on your watch by pressing long on the fields.
However I highly recommend the paid version, as it's a great solution for the SW3.
The paid version also offers unlimited ghosts.

Thanks for clearing that up, I might go pro and invest in the H7 :good:

Thanks I bought the paid version. Its a great app
dear friends
i have a problem with my android wear swr3.
I would like to run with ghostracer on my sony smartwatch 3 with paired my Polar h7 heart monitor in a STAND-ALONE way.
I updated to the last firmware the sony smartwatch software and i install ghostracer on my android virtual machine.
the problem is that in the app in my android virtual machine there is NOT the voice and the possibility to check the pair from HRM H7 and the watch in wearable settings in the app.
I have the last app version 0.9.4.4. Could someone confirm that this possibility is still available in 0.9.4.4 version?
thank you

Hi everyone,
Got my black Z1c yesterday, love it so far!
However, when I try to use it in my car (Audi A6 2008), I cannot place a call if it was initiated from the car's interface.
The phone connects to BT no probs and shows my car in the devices list as a headset. Incoming calls are reflected on the car's display, and connected to the speaker's/mic of the car. When I place a call from the phone itself - same deal, all works as expected. But when I use the car's controls to dial a number, the car's display shows "connecting", and nothing happens...
Tried to pair/unpair many times, no success. Tried other phones, like iPhone 5, Samsung Ativ S (WP8), Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, HTC One - all work seamlessly. My old Xperia Z was working fine, until I sold it to get the Z1c... I would never expect Z1c to behave like this...
Anyone has similar issues?
Yes mine is the same (ford sync)

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks.
There are two important parameters of Bluetooth devices - class and supported profiles.
"Class" signifies the distance at which a Bluetooth connection is possible. Most mobile devices are Class 2, which means they have a range of up to 10 m. Class 1 devices are rare and have a range of up to 100 feet.
A "profile" is a type of Bluetooth connection. The most common are the Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) profiles that enable the device to connect to a wireless headset or handsfree.
Some other profiles are OBEX (OBject EXchange) which allows transfer of files, contacts and events; A2DP, which adds support for streaming of stereo sound and AVRC, which allows remote control of playback.

try clear caches. All kinds of caches. When I say all kinds, I mean all caches that you can clean. Retry what you want to do. If it does not help, try factory reset and retry your bluetooth connection. if it still does not help, try flash firmware. I guess this is the solution you can count on.

Thanks, will try. The phone was just outta box when I was trying it in my car... The car was the first BT device it has ever been paired wtih...
Phone calls work fine on mine.
BUT while we're on the topic of vehicle BT, has anyone got working song info via bluetooth? I thought it was supposed to support avrcp 1.3, but in my car (2013 Ford SYNC) I still get no info about songs I'm listening to and also the voice commands for playing artists or albums don't work.
/Daniel
I use it with my new Golf and the phone functions works as expected but the song info does not show. But they never do with Android phones. My 5s works of course

In my Toyota Auris 2013 model song info always worked with Walkman app assuming you have tags filled out correctly.
I know there were some issues with tag info in Poweramp I prefer to use but they got that fixed recently. Advanced options to display song info on external BT device is just buried deep in app's settings though.
Everything works fantastic on my BMW F10 (2012) with Navigation Professional, Bluetooth Music with Song Info, Phone with contact pictures (! Didn't even know that was possible until I got the Z10c) and full Message Access Profile with historic E-Mail and SMS access.
The In-Car integration is the main reason why I am torn between iPhone 5s and Xperia Z1c.
The iPhone has the Advantage of "BMW Apps", which allow using Webradio, Facebook, RSS Feeds etc. through the Navigation, as well as iPod Control and Coverart Display.
The Z10 can't do those things, but it can do Bluetooth MAP which is rather important to me also. Webradio can of course be streamed via BT (and controlled on the phone).
I have tried the Garmin USB2 ANT+ stick with my Moto X and I wanted to share the results in case anyone else is looking for this info.
-Tested with the Garmin ANT+ HRM strap and Endomondo sports tracker app.
Set up was quite easy:
1. Connect USB2 stick with USB OTG cable
2. Open Endomondo, ->Settings -> Accessory Settings -> ANT+ Sensors
3. Follow prompts to install three ANT+ Services from Play Store (ANT Radio Service, ANT USB Service, ANT+ Plugins)
4. Put HRM on - it seems like it will only turn on and connect when it is broadcasting your heart rate
Notes:
- Garmin USB stick must be version 2 (labelled USB2) for it to work
- I took a quick look in the Runtasic app settings and I don't see anything indicating support for ANT+ sensors
- I have don't have any other sensors to test (pedometer, cycling speed, cadence, etc)
- Moto X is running Android 4.4.2 Rogers/Fido release, not rooted.
The beta version of endomondo supports Bluetooth smart. It would require an upgrade of your hrm but it is cleaner.
Pretty sure I have that exact Garmin HRM. I just need to pickup a usb cable so I can try this. Thanks! :good:

Hi anyone else having issues pairing to Ble devices... Eg heart rate monitor?
I am running CM12. 1.1 normal Bluetooth pairing doesn't see these devices.... I was starting to think p8000 not really Bluetooth 4 compliant....
But apps like Ble tool off play store allow me to see these devices and even display heart rate....
But many apps appear to need paired devices to work Eg Runtastic strava etc.... But I can't pair....
Any advice...?
Hello, just bought a SW3.
Does Google Maps work with the built in GPS? I noticed that it starts to look immediatly for the phone...also is it possibile to move the offline maps I downloaded to the smartwatch internal memory? How does it work? I am new thanks.
I've got an LG G5 which is affected by the GPS hardware issues (ie GPS is non-existent) - my SW3 works fine in maps when paired to this phone so would guess the watches GPS is working well. Guess it could be using the phone to grab location via phone masts, but not as slow as phone location so doubt it.

In fact I was wandering if it was possible to use the smartwatch alone for running, with its built-in GPS (and perhaps offline maps loaded) but without the 4G connection of the phone.
Sony said the point of this smartwatch was to leave the smartphone at home, but I saw that the location doesn't fix if the smartwatch doesn't connect to phone first (Bluetooth and 4G).
Am I doing something wrong?

I have two of these devices. In order to use the google fit stand alone gps, i suggest that you turn off your phone or BT connection between the phone and watch as well as the wifi setting on the watch prior to a run. When you go outside, turn on the google fit app and wait a few moments while you warm up, this will give the watch a chance to lock into GPS. Then all you have to do is start moving and the standalone gps will work. The problem with google fit is that it so dependent on communications between the phone and device as well as not having a gps locking icon. I prefer to use Ghostrunner app for the sony smartwatch 3, its completely independent from the phones gps and has such a setting in the app to force the watches gps to work over the phone.
Thanks and what about google maps? Can it be used in standalone for running? Just for mapping andò routes
And what about runtastic? Can I use it with position on the phone turned off but watch GPS turned on? Apparently it doesn't work for me
I use mine for running and I use Endomondo. I just use the watch GPS on its own and after the run it syncs via bluetooth to the phone. I've heard there has been issues with this but with my LG G4 it's all worked fine.
Does anyone know how to use the smartwatch in standalone with Google Maps tracking while running? It searches for the phone connection everytime...do I have to turn BT off or follow specific steps?
thank you in advance

What do you mean? Maps doesn't record your path, if that's what you're after.
If you want to see yourself on a map, including your trail where you've been, use ghostracer. You can also load a gpx path and follow it on the map, but it doesn't give you navigation instructions, you have to watch for the turns yourself.
Navigation is in osm offline maps, but I never had much luck with it.
Hello,
I was looking into a feature that can somehow broadcast the heart rate of the mi band 4. Broadcasting is different than normal heart rate tracking because it sends a ble packet containing the HR value and other peripherals receive the data without pairing. This is useful in more than one scenario:
1. I use a bike computer but it cannot see my mi band 4 (as factory made), lacking the broadcast feature it cannot be detected by the bike computer
2. at the gym, maybe you have a treadmill and it can receive the hr trough broadcast.
I found this app, https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/ble-test-peripheral-android ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.webbluetoothcg.bletestperipheral ) that my bike computer can see the HR emulator. I was wondering how can this be made to communicate with each other, or another way if it is possible.
A scenario:
1. start biking activity - we have the heart rate
2. I used Notify and Fitness and in tasker I could get the hr value http://mibandnotify.com/help/tasker_send_intent.php (sadly tasker does not have yet the ble broadcast feature)
3. Is it possible to make an app that does exactly this thing? Like get the HR from the mi band and using the code in ble-test-peripheral-android emulate a HR sensor on the phone that broadcasts the value.
Other solutions are welcomed,
thanks.

Having Tasker support for BLE would be nice and is probably also interesting for other use cases. Maybe ask on r/tasker if the wanted feature is already possible to do with Tasker and if not put up a feature request on tasker.helprace.com. I'm sure Mi Band 4 users like myself will vote for it.
