Sleep tracker for Gear?

Any suggested apps for using Gear to track sleep? Either using a side loaded app or with a custom ROM?

+1 I use this on my note 3 and it is very good. I never thought of running it on the gear though.
Interested if you do!

Not the OP, but I get up a couple of hours before I have to work, so theoretically that's all I need.

Is there such an app that can run on the Galaxy Gear then?
So much like the fitbit bands and the new Gear 2 range it will monitor your sleep??

Yes and no. The Gear 2 sleep monitorig is very poor and only limited to 'no movement detection'. So if you havea bad night and cannot sleep,but just keep your eyes opened it will just tell you that you had no movement for 100% of the nigt.
Not reallly a monitoring system that should be linked to heart beat and other valuable information.

True but given that a FitBit or other fitness band would also not be able to tell if you have your eyes open or not, its never going to be the most reliable way of recording sleep anyway!
With regards to the Galaxy Gear then... you're saying that there is an app to use on the watch itself?

Sleep as Android
I used ADB to install Sleep as Android. I bought this app a few years back, and I've loved it ever since.
Used it on all my android phones
-HTC Aria
-Motorola Atrix
-Samsung Galaxy
-Samsung Galaxy Note
-Samsung Galaxy S4
I just got a Galaxy Gear 1st Gen, and figured it was worth a shot. It installed and ran without issue here at the office. When I get home in 3 hours, I'll do a quick charge of my Galaxy Gear (I love how fast this thing charges) and then I'll go to sleep and see how the battery holds up and how the tracking does.

well... that didnt work out as well as I hoped. I came home, curled up in bed. Set the app, the screen dimmed off, and I went to sleep. I woke up around 2pm, and went to check the app and its nowhere to be found under apps. I checked in the background apps, its running, but when I tap on it, it doesnt launch. I rebooted the watch, the app is missing from the apps section. Im going to install nova launcher and try again later

Graph Indeed Saved
So I got into the office tonight, and sideloaded NOVA Launcher, and found the "missing" sleep as android app
looks like it did properly exit and grab my sleep graph. Today when I get home I'll try setting Nova Launcher as my default (this scares me, as I'm worried about it interfering with watch functionality) as see if it works a bit smoother, than it did yesterday.

side note, I engaged [email protected] (the developer) via email to see if the community can assist them in getting a version pushed for the galaxy gear. I am eager to see to a response :fingers-crossed:

From the official demo video, the app seems to detect patterns as if it was the phone lying on your bed. having the app on your hand would (i think) give the accelerometer much different results. Does your method seem work well? I'm really interested in getting this watch if this works!

Gear Fit Manager Crushing My Battery?

with my Gear Watch setup to full sync i never really saw the app high in my battery consumption and it didnt effect my day to day battery life at all.
with my Fit Gear Fit Manager stays at the top at 25% plus and has made a significant impact on my Note 3 battery life. I never had to worry about battery life on the N3 even using it all day for work calls. I would go to bed at avg 30% remaining but with Fit Manager its Saturday at just 5PM and i am already down to 40% with little phone use today.
maybe if others are having this issue we could find some settings to tweak to get the battery life of my N3 back?
thanks for any help.

Same thing is happening to me, only my android services are also way up there.
Did you switch from S-health to Fitness For Gear? I did this, and I'm thinking that may have something to do with it.
For some reason I can't upload my picture.
Sent from my SM-G900T using xda app-developers app

I was using S - Health and just left it alone after switching to Fit Manager BUT S health doesn't work right for me with fit cause my N3 is Verizon and doesn't have needed Kit Kat update for it to upgrade to latest version. Maybe this is my issue and I will try not using S Health at all.
Hoping some others will chime in because on N3 sections that have Kit Kat I have read several posts that Fit Manager hasn't effected their battery life.

I do not see this at all, my device does run Kit Kat (Note 3 on Rogers).
When I purchased the watch I unistalled the old "Gear Manager", install the new "Fit Manager" see no effect on my Note 3

i am not on Kit Kat and i believe that is a big part of it but i also have the original Gear so if i uninstall Gear Manager i will not be able to use it. i may try that just to see what happens.

nothing at all on the web about this thing; let us know how it is when you get it...
normally I would avoid something like this at all costs, since there is nothing anywhere about it, but buying it through Amazon is about as safe as it gets, so you should be ok even if it is bogus..

I'll admit I was pretty interested in this when I saw it. So I watched the video and it looks pretty good, really in depth actually so when he skips over anything to do with the dialer
or doesn't bother to show it in action either from the watch dialing or receiving a call I got pretty skeptical. Then the specs listed on the website and in the video state 4GB of storage (like the GEAR) but he then states it only has 1.16gb available? While scrolling thru the settings you clearly see it says 2GB of storage. One cool thing was remote Bluetooth access to the watches camera or the phones camera thru the other device i.e. you can look at the phones screen and see what the watch camera sees. I'd love to hear your experience when you get it. Thanks, good luck!

well like i said my friend has this watch so i already have used it . its in every way like the gear yes the res of the screen on the gear is better (not much better but still it is )but were talking a $350 watch vs a $100 watch the clone is just a fast and smooth to slide threw apps as the gear but the clone is easly pared to any phone and can phone apps this watch is running full android jellybean 4.2.2 so even if i had the gear i would still use this watch but when i get this watch in next week i make my own video to demo it ok peoples

ya its a nice watch but it has flaws
1 military time only (unless u use the analog clock)
2 watch doesnt always answer phone calls even tho it says your swipe answered it phone still keeps ringing
3 watch dies very very fast with normal use you need to charge twice a day
4 has gps yes can you use it NO!
5 play store app crashs phone everytime
6 skype fully works with onboard cam but once installed skype with make the contacts app in the watch break untill skype is uninstalled
7 can only turn watch on and off with a very frangile button so within a year it will be so warn out so hopfully some one roots and makes a kernel so we can knock on and off on the watch

2 words G Watch!!!!!

Did we lose Google Now options?

I got a few app updates recently (including the 100GB one drive offer) but I also lost options for Google now that were there before. I can only say "ok Google" from the Google app now.
Image attached. Anyone else have this?

Yep I can also confirm an update removed the Ok Google commands. I was previously able to use the hot word from my lockscreen and now it only works within the Google search app. Pretty ****ing disappointing, I truly miss the Ok Google commands of the Nexus 6.

I still have them on my AT&T GS6. All up to date so far and everything working fine.

Just bought one of these to compliment my Nexus.
Definitely missing and definitely disappointing.

This is really weird...I guess I'll keep monitoring the app updates. Super strange.

Same here, few threads on reddit as well with others having the same issue.... hopefully it comes back soon coming from my N5 I really got into the habbit of using the voice to text search.

Me too. I'm really mad

Same here. Total BS. I was thinking it was something I had screwed up until I saw this thread. Very frustrating.

If I am correct it's a bug with the 64 bit version of Google play services and should be fixed soon.

I have the newest 64 bit version installed and I linked to it in a thread in general. It's from the N9 and is not what is on your phone now. Still not there.

I can all but guarantee it was a server side tweak and was done on purpose. Why?
My theory? Microsoft and Cyanogen got into bed together to replace core Google apps on upcoming phones. This phone comes with a OneDrive promotion. This is them fighting back.
Nutty and conspiracy theory ridden, but it crossed my mind ?

My first blame went to Samsung. Thought, "Oh here goes Sammy trying to make us use the crappy S Voice that NEVER wakes on command."

Has anyone else notices Google Voice Typing sucks now, too? It never starts listening when I start it up. I have to tap it a few times to get it to work.

Mine works ok still but I'm dying without ok Google being able to be used all over the phone.

Voice-to-text is fine again for me. Just had to clear cache for Play Services.

Works with Google Now Launcher
I too noticed the voice activation loss then went to GNL and it's working again.
So now not sure it ever worked or I only noticed when I used GNL prior. In any case gonna keep it on the phone as the feature is very useful to me.

I'm using Nova Launcher and it has a feature to use it unfortunately can't use it when phone is locked.

Question There's meant to be a new April update out there that takes temperature

Anyone received it? IUS LTE model has not.

Last wednesday, I was unboxing my R920 I received an update.(GE bluetooth). But as far as I know, the temperature measurement is for female menstrual cycle only.

The only feature it turns on is female menstrual cycle tracking

Just tonight 4/27/23...got my update -- watch is SM R920. Post update, Software version is R920XXU1AWB1 System version 11, Wear ver 3.5 Wear core services 1.4.69.512673544. Update took about 20 minutes after the download. Seems like SpO2 is better than before, used to have to measure it with a finger now it appears to work on my wrist. I can (so far) find nowhere that body temperature is available or enabled. As a side note I am in Ecuador FWTW as far as regional settings/restrictions go.
Couple notes. Reboot after the last reboot thats part of the software update is a must. Trying to do anything without a manual reboot on mine was very laggy. The reboot helped. Seems on mine that SpO2 and ECG are definitely better but on stress and SpO2 the display seems a little laggy......also when charging the time display, batt % and time to full are different than before, larger and at center screen, something I personally like. Also note that the security patch is 2023-04-01.

So is mine, but mine is AWD6

This is truly weird. When I did the post mine was AWB1. Now it shows AWD6 same as what you see. thanks for this info. I am reading...and was reading...the information from the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone. Truly amazing. Without your kind reply I never would have spotted this.
Regards and thanks again.
An addendum. I have thin wrists, have always had problems with SpO2 since purchase....to the point where I finally gave up trying to read it with the watch on my wrist. Reading SpO2 with the watch on the same finger I use my monitor on....the watch would agree within a point. Before the update when it would read at all it would consistently be sometimes 5 points off. Since the update the watch so far reads reliably on my wrist and is within a point of the monitor. Additionally the watch seems more reliable reading ECG than before less poor reading messages with the necessity to read ECG again. Only thing I wish is the temperature sensor was enabled in the new update. Otherwise most excellent so far from Samsung. Will be interesting to see how battery life compares.

Yes, but do you actually have in settings option to "predict using skin temp"?
Cause I bet like me (also running WDA on Watch 5 Pro) you don't have that option even if you select Cycle Tracking which men don't use.
