Does anyone use this combination? I'm using a Huewai smart watch and it tracks my steps but only through google fit since it cant use s health. I'd rather use Google fit and it tracks everything fine ... but it just won't sync my steps with the Virgin Pulse app. It will sync if I use s health but I dont always have my phone on me, so I use the watch.
Anyone?

So, I too use Virgin Pulse. And what I see so far is that SHealth only syncs the phones steps to Virgin Pulse. It won't sync any other devices. Virgin Pulse on the Note 7 doesn't even give an option to sync with Google fit for me.

I am pretty sure this means that your watch won't sync to Virgin Pulse via your phone, since it won't allow you to connect Fit to Virgin Pulse. Unless your watch steps show up in S Health. There are a lot of weird idiosyncrasies I find with this stuff. I had been wearing a fitbit on my other wrist, because it at least just worked without any hoops. But it is on it's way to dead again, and it is my third one, so I am not buying another one. I have found a way or 2 to get my Pebble to sync steps, but it is drastically less than the fitbit or my phone on s health, like 2-3000 per day less. If you come up with a way, please let me know.
Thanks for the reply. I imagine Samsung has something to do with it. I find Google Fit is better for me, plus it will sync with my watch. It's unfortunate, but I'll have to manage it.

I have the same issue and its annoying as hell. This worked fine on my nexus 6p but on the galaxy s8 it made me sync with shealth and now won't sync the steps with my watch. FML
Virgin Pulse confirmed for me that their app cannot sync to Google Fit on Samsung phones due to a "default setting" on Samsung devices.
Any news two years later?
I see S health between the Virgin Pulse supported platforms, but not real option to use it.

I consider the "find my phone" software a necessary must on any mobile device. The ability to locate, ping, and wipe your Mobile is an extraordinary advantage in the digital age. I've used it once to find an errant iPhone 3GS and again on WP7 with a Samsung Focus along with helping my sister who continually forgets where her iPhone is.
What do you use on your Galaxy Nexus? Have you had an unfortunate circumstance that allowed you to field test it yet?
I've always had Lookout installed with all my phones. Fortunately I have never had to use it.

I used ' Where's My Droid' on my N One and continue to use it on my GNex, also had loads of added bits with tasker working off the same trigger like lock phone and give warning message with a contact number to return... just in case it was a nice old lady that found it Not sure if Tasker will work fully on ICS yet so i've not set it up.
I also had Lookout installed but whenever i tried to locate it on their site it could never get a lock on. I dont know if they didn't fully support the UK that was the problem or that i was always flashing ROMs and it constantly being installed caused problems.
I have a Google Apps account for my family and a few of us have Android devices, so I installed the Google Apps Device Policy app on all the Android phones (in the Market and it's by Google). That app enables device policies and such for each user/device (encryption, syncing, syncing while roaming... anything a business would want to restrict/allow for their device).The plus about that app is that it gives me access to this (the mydevices link):
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=1235372&topic=1233222
It's free and allows Google Apps users to lock, locate, reset pin, ring device, etc for Android devices. Remote wipe and everything else is part of Google Apps too.
Don't need a separate app and monthly fees, it's all handled by Google and works perfectly.
Interesting. Do you have to setup a server or what? I understand the client side policy app but not the backend.
How do you tie them together?

Didn't have to set up anything, no servers or tying any services together. On my android phone, I just setup my account with my Google Apps email/password, install the Device Policy app, and .... done.
All the devices show up for my family in my Google Apps control panel (under settings -> mobile if you're familiar with Google Apps's panel). And that mydevices link "just works". Don't have to set up anything else, it's great. Google does it all for you.
I believe the device policy app periodically pings Google's servers every few days (it's a bare app with no settings, only a couple pages of info on policies and current status), that process lets the Google Apps admin (me in this case) restrict/allow anything via the Apps Control panel.
The mydevices webpage is more of a "push", since "ring device", "reset pin", "locate device", and all those buttons are instantaneous. i.e. I click "ring device" and a few seconds later my phone rings super loud, even when on silent (this is assuming there is a data connection available to the phone).
I got SeekDroid from the Amazon Appstore when it was free. It's pretty good. It gives the GPS location from where the phone was last used, lets you send alarms and messages to the phone, lock the phone, and remote wipe the phone and SD card if necessary.

Another vote for Seekdroid. It always worked well on my Desire and i plan on using it with my GN. One of the best features is you can actually remove seekdroid from appearing in the phone menu or app list which prevents anyone from removing the app without your permission.
I used http://www.mobiledefense.com/ on my nexus s. Not sure if they ever released a retail version yet though. Kinda curious about the Google Apps thing now though...
Cerberus, Cerberus, Cerberus!!!
Such an excellent application! Please check it out, you won't be disappointed!!
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Prey yet.
Just tried Cerberus. Wow. Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I've always used prey - I actually had a friend get his laptop stolen in Africa, and he's currently coordinating with the African police to get it back. They've made arrests and stuff - I was extremely impressed.
African police drop what they are doing to chase down a misplaced gadget?
More stories please?!
I've always used wheres my droid, but after reading above about prey i am probably going to switch to that.
I've used prey since day one and find it very good and also the ability to alert you it's missing if the sim card changes is a god send as well.
Might check out cerberus as someone mentioned it 3 times so compelled to look now lol
Just launched prey and the logon prompt is all screwed up and you cannot put in some details so you can never login... time to try others now.

Excatly.
The best i've ever tried up to now.
Love the way it enables gps also if it's down.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned AndroidLost. AndroidLost has remote wipe, GPS locate (never had to use it), send SMS/MMS from phone remotely, make calls, take pictures without the user knowing, record audio clips with the MIC without the user knowing.... all through a web page. No one else uses this?
Judging from similar threads created on these forums, I'm expecting to get *crickets* in response to this thread, but thought it couldn't hurt to post this anyway.
Hopefully, someone else in the known business world is still having Lotus Notes imposed on them by their employer for email, and subsequently has to use Lotus Traveler for their email app.
Here's my problem:
I am currently running Devils' Reject 4.1.1 TW rom, and while the rom itself is nice, I am somewhat of a flashaholic, and like some of the AOSP roms out there. However, I use my device for business and personal, and the issue is that IBM doesn't have their sh*t together, so their most current version of Lotus Traveler which is 8.5.3.x doesn't play nice with Android 4.2.x.
As a result, you have to log a service request with IBM, they have to get you the current patch to make things work, etc.
The problem is, I am still running Lotus Traveler 8.5.2.2, and this is the latest version my company has access to, and of course, there's no IBM service patch that will make this Traveler version work with Android 4.2.x.
So, to make a long story short, I'm looking for someone -anyone- who can point me toward or just be kind enough to share with me the actual Lotus Traveler 8.5.3.x apk.
Thanks,
Ryan

I don't know if it's crazy, but having it always on is sure to burn thru the battery more. I always set mine to sync every 15 minutes during peak times.. Every two hours during off peak times

When I tried to put it on automatic (always connected) it kept my phone always awake and. It wouldnt go to deep sleep at all. I searched and figured a way to get it to work with practically no battery drain though. I got the SMS notification thing working properly and I have email notification that works 24/7 no delay and no battery drain at all. Im not sure how it works but I guess the server sends some kind of invisible sms when you get a mail that causes the email app to sync at that time only.
Heres the link if you're interested. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...om.ibm.help.lnt851.doc/Plan_SMS_AutoSync.html
Because I was on 4.2.2 with my Nexus and our traveler server at work was out of date, we couldn't use the official Lotus Notes Traveler app. With that I went through the play store trying all the various 3rd party mail programs until one worked with Lotus Notes via exchange sync mode. The best performing and full featured app was Touchdown HD or Touchdown for smart phones. The downside was the $19.95 price tag. But with a 30 day trial and my flashaholic ways, I never hit the 30 days
It rarely shows up on wakelock lists via betterbatterystats, and has never shown up on the default battery app.
Saturday our server was upgraded so I can finally use the official traveler app from IBM. what a piece of crap! I had 27% drain just from traveler in 6 hours, and reading the IBM forums today, IBM official response is, don't use always connected, use 15 minute intervals, or setup SMS push notifications (as mentioned above) which seems absurd.
I'm still not running the official app, I'm staying on Touchdown. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid&hl=en And now that their graphics are all Holo compliant, the app looks MUCH better.
To configure your server address for touchdown, (or any other exchange sync capable app, such as the built in mail app) it should be your.servername.com/traveler or your.servername.com/servlet/traveler The problem with the mail app is that calendar invites/acceptances don't sync right.
@SchmilK Well Im not sure about the Touchdown app but personally since I have unlimited SMS i use the SMS push thingy. I dont have any traveller wakelocks and the only time i saw it in my battery drain apps(since i startes using SMS push) was today when it was i think 2% but I had used the app alot today in writing and receiving email. But hey if I ever have issues I atleast know where to go. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip regarding Touchdown, works like a charm against our Lotus Notes server.
I upgraded from a Note 4 to the Verizon Samsung Note 7 today and have been unsuccessful in locating how to send contacts text messages to the spam folder - A feature that I used frequently on my previous phone. Does anyone have any idea where this feature could be? This is different than going into your contacts and blocking their phone calls. If this feature no longer exists, I will likely return the phone for a different one if I cannot find an app to send these texts to without replacing the default messaging app. Any help or ideas on this would be appreciated, thanks!
Verizon has taken that feature away and added their own. They want you to go on my Verizon add block it through there.
Lame huh.
I use an app in the play store called Hiya. An article I read said that White Pages and Hiya merged or WP bought the later and that Samsung was using them. I know it can integrate with messages but I haven't enabled it yet. So far this morning it rejected 5 calls, three were telemarketers or suspected and two were the IRS scam. It flashes for a brief second on the phone then shows "Call Rejected - Suspected Telemarketer", or whatever the reason for rejection. Then it allows you to view comments on the number or add comments of your own. It's pretty cool, although I sometimes miss answering with my latest, "<insert business> Pizza, Would you like to start with our new carry out special?". That or "Judges Chambers, bailiff...", always gets a quick hangup. Lol

I've just bought the Huawei Mate 20X - liking it so far, but I want a watch to go with it.
Could anyone advise me if the Galaxy Watch will work ok with it?
I'd want to be able to use Samsung Pay, receive notifications for Gmail, SMS etc, and be able to use some kind of fitness app - don't mind it that was Google Fit, Samsung Health or another really.
Anybody know if I'm likey to face problems? Samsung list some Huawei (and other manufacturers) but the list doesn't seem exhaustive.
Thanks.

I had an Honor 8 and had no problems with a Gear S3. Even though the phone didn't have NFC Samsung Pay did work on the watch. I could receive notifications, email and SMS and Samsung Health now works on non-Samsung phones. You'll have to wait on someone with a Mate but I don't think you'll have any problems.

Did you have to side-load on the Samsung Pay app onto the phone somehow,I'm guessing that the app is needed on the handset?

No, that installed from the Samsung app once i started the Pay setup on the watch.
I'm picking the watch up in the morning, so hopefully, I'll have it all set up by the weekend. Thanks again.
All seems to be good. Watch setup was no problem, Samsung Pay loaded up fine & all cards added. Still have to try making a payment & completing an exercise, but everything seems to be syncing ok with the watch. Notifications all seem to be coming through on the watch.
I'm currently a GWA2 owner, former S2, S3, GW, and GWA owner. And through all those iterations, I honestly haven't found a useful workflow. The watch serves primarily as a notification Notifier for my phone (S10+). My initial dreams of having the watch and phone work seamlessly haven't come true. What are some tips, tricks, apps, habits that make you more productive and healthy using your Watch?
Notification - view and read and send quick replies discretely while the phone is put away
Track runs
Track workouts
Tell the time
And date
Track steps
Track sleep
(I don't really use the caffeine, water or weight tracking but it's there)
Not sure what else you'd want from an activity-based watch...

Apps, Personal Assistant Integration, Communications, Email, Internet, Smartphone like connectivity, ect, ect. You only listed off the base functionalities of any fitness tracker. Why do you have a $350 Smartwatch then, mate? You'd be just fine with a $40 one of Amazon.

Well I do all of those things and input info into MyFitnessPal via an app, track and cross off grocery lists without having to pull out the phone. Normal fitness stuff. I even text on it, when I don't want to pull out my phone. There are lots of things. Define what you are calling seamless. The watch is really only an Extension of your smartphone IMHO.
It was especially helpful before I retired as a physical to see info while with a patient without pulling out my cell phone.

Email = communications
Internet - do you really want to browse the web on a teeny screen?
Smartphone-like connectivity? LMAO!
