Hi, I have a Galaxy Note 2 (duh) and I am getting into more running, and over-all health related activities.
I use Runtastic, and there related applications to track my information.
I am wondering whats the best device for tracking heart rate and all that information that works with those apps? I am asking in this area because at the same time I am looking for an arm band that can hold my note 2, maybe even have one of those heart rate/health devices attached to it the arm bad that supports the note 2 as well.
I hope I am making sense.
Ideas?
Thanks.

hi,
does anybody got experience with the new Qualcomm Smartwatch an can compare perfomance, functionality between Gear (Root) and Qualcomm.
Would be nice to compare in this thread theese both smartatches.

My co-worker has had a gear for about a month and I got my Toq 5 days ago and coming from a Sony Smartwatch2 I can tell you I prefer the Toq over all.
The Toq isnt really the same as a Galaxy Gear its more like a Pebble on Steroids with a Colored Screen. I would compare the GG to something more like a Sony SW2, but it all comes down to personal preference.
If there's something specific you want to know ask away!
Hi, I have had both and personally the gear blows it out of the water. And with a ROM on it now it's even better. Much more functionality. But like he said it's personal preference.

The software allows mobile VR use with PC's -
My fear is that it doesn't use the sensors in the Gear VR, which will cause lag.
Does it run smoothly and is it worth a purchase?
Since there is no selling apps thru oculus storey yet I don't think the developer is that motivated to make it compatible with the vr. I will try the app out later.
well, there is a free version meant exactly to try before you buy...
why do you think not using the GearVR sensors would cause lag?

Not using the Gear VR sensors cause already lag, streaming and not using the Gear VR sensors cause even bigger lag.
@Powerslash that's not really an answer to my question.
The reason I ask is just to check if I am missing something: if gearVR is running with 1ms sensor updates (I think I read somewhere it was 1000hz, right?), and the phone does something around 10ms sensor updates, playing a game at 60fps, that is updating every 16.6ms, in both cases it can happen that the timing to grab input for next frame is missed, which creates a 16ms lag either way. Now the faster sampling means that the input data will be more recent and precise for the GearVR (i.e. next frame using 1ms old data), but even with 10ms, the amount of head movement change won't be that large (with 10ms old data in worst case scenario) and the imprecision is still low... isn't it? and that's without considering predictive sensor data to interpolate input. Idk, as I said, maybe I am missing something?
Of course, streaming is a bigger hurdle to tackle but, doing it right (and possibly lowering quality expectations a little bit), I don't think it is that bad... well, I actually think you can achieve pretty good results. Have you tried it?

Just got my Note 4 Gear VR, on sale for $99 at Best Buy. Having used Trinus Gyre before with tremendous results on a standard cardboard, I'm looking around to find the best setup for getting it to run on the Gear VR -- maybe even a way to jury-rig some sort of usb pass-trough connection.
What do I find? The developer of the MARVELOUS Trinus Gyre just SHUTTING DOWN the opposition with an in-depth question that goes unanswered for almost a year. :silly:
Keep it up, loxai. I bought Trinus Gyre a few months back, and it has been a blast. :good::good:
Don't count on it; he says it's out of his budget, which is expected considering the initial $200 price on top of the price of a Note 4.
http://oddsheepgames.com/?topic=gear-vr-compatibility
Even then, to actually take advantage of the Gear VR sensors, he'd probably have to post it on SideloadVR or some other alternative store rather than the Oculus Store because of the way Gear VR applications need to be signed.
For me, the bigger issue at hand is that the Trinus server can't emulate a Rift tracker. This isn't surprising considering how the Oculus Runtime works, but it does mean that I can't play the Vox Machinae demo or anything else coded specifically to use the Oculus Runtime for head-tracking input rather than some other API like TrackIR or Freetrack.
Check out streamtheater. It's awesome you can get it through sideloadvr but check out the reddit thread for it. You can stream anything from your desktop to the gearvr, like steam games etc.

Hi Guys,
Now this one may not be a Redmi Note issue as such... and might be more software/Google issue...?
Does anyone on here use Google Fit, and if so, have you been able to get the Heart Rate and Respiratory Monitor to work, via just using the camera....??
So apparently, within Google Fit you can measure you're heart rate using just the camera, and supposedly it's fairly accurate according to reviews. As they compared it to Apple Watch and the real equipment....
According to Google's own wording in the App itself and various other publications via Google it appears it can work on any phone with a camera, it just depends on the phone itself. However looking at the external reviews they keep mentioning using Pixels to do this....
So just wondered, has anyone got it to work.... as I don't have the option/feature in the guide. I found out I had disabled access to the camera in App permissions. But since re-enabling and turning on settings within the App, it still don't show up...
Cheers, Lister
morning lister
i cant get it working either , set permissions and nowt appears when ya press add on home screen . i t might be pixel only .
not the answer i know but the Huawei band 6 app works great on it . got it on sale on amazon a while back ( 32.99 in Argos at the mo ), heart rate monitor does the job well enough , although ya have to download the app from Huawei site cause playstore versions outdated . but everything works , and battery lasts a good 10 / 11 days foe me ( they claim 14 )
Is it possible to get the hiking trackback feature that is for the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro on a regular Galaxy Watch 5?
It should be possible due to both swatches are prety the same (except at battery level) speaking about hardware, I understand that with some prots similar to the ECG and blood pressure hacks should be possible but we depend of somebody with the knowledge to do it.
For me it will be a great news if somebody achieve this target ;-)
Thanks
Any news about that? any advance with it will count with my eternal gratitude ;-)
Anybody come up with an app for that yet?

I got the update on galaxy 5 watch, only works at night while you sleep(4hrs min). Maybe someone can take this new app and make it take body temperature any time? Also, for non Samsung phones like Dante63 did for the ECG-Blood Pressure apps?

If you have a bugjaeger app on your phone (that you often use for sideloading and extracting apps for galaxy watch) it displays all sensor info. Before it only showed skin temp sensor id with no info. I wonder if with this new WD6 firmware it now displays temperature info too?
It will be awhile before this software update arrives to Canada and LTE variant for me to test.
I would assume if you change your sleep schedule to daytime in Samsung Health than maybe it will measure your body temperature while you work out??

what does the information show? and how does it work did you have to turn on the menstration cycle? If not then thats still useful info to track if your temperature goes up during illness and if room is to hot or to cold etc.

You don't even need to say you are a female. As a male, I had cycle tracking on since beginning of March when I heard temp sensor was activated when Samsung Health renamed Women's Health to Natural Cycles in 6.23.3 version. But I was disappointed to find out that it's not active so I stopped using it lol. But to my surprise this entire time Samsung Health continued calculating my period
My biggest concern here is that aparently your temperature will only be shown and calculated while you sleep. But I never sleep with my watch (hell no). So how am I supposed to fake that and make it calculate the temperature automatically while I'm in a gym? If it's like blood oxygen continuous monitoring than making my watch think day is night is not going to work cause the watch detects activity even if say you come back home and watch TV while wearing it, the watch still will not measure my blood oxygen automatically. And without manual option, I don't think I will get any temperature info at all.
At least from reading all the crazy reactions on reddit from women saying US government can monitor this data, ladies don't need to worry as man will be using this function alot more than women now which will throw off the data anyways.
Unless, someone comes up with manual measurement hack ofcourse.

Excellent question..... my thoughts exactly. I have been apparently failing the sleep criteria for Samsung Health as reported by the Watch 5 Pro evinced by various irritating messages that I need to enroll in "Sleep Coaching"(their words)...... what are they going to do, send a female android to "coach " me around bedtime? (YUM!) Wait!! Do I hear helicopters?

Yeah, this guy did: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t1ckt0ck.bodytemperature
Specifically for Watch 5, only takes a few seconds to measure on my GW5Pro running old WB1 firmware since LTE versions are stuck on January patch. I guess temperature sensor has been unlocked all along, but no idea what developer tools he used to access it. The app is very basic thou.
Has some body try it?, I have tried and it seems that shows a little bit low temperature and it not possible to calibrate the software.

As far as I can read from the google translator seems that the temperature while you are sleeping can be viewed on the One UI 5 beta.
A beta tester maybe can confirm.
