Gear 2 Heart rate monitor app - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hello,
I am interested in getting the Gear 2, most likely the Neo. One thing that I am having trouble finding is for the heart rate monitor to sound an alarm when your heart rate reaches a predetermined rate. I have a heart murmur that I have noticed gives me problems when my heart rate reaches about 160. I have been using the MotoActive, I like it, it's just too bulky, plus you have to wear the strap around your chest. This would come in handy when running, or riding MTB. I am constantly looking down at the "watch" to get my HR, not looking where I am going! an audible alert would be awesome.
Thanks,
Matt

Try the Acky's XP Breakout. Demo version is good enough to play. Demo is free.
Regarding Teeter. As we know,we have level editor avilable,so why not to post new levels here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2851032&postcount=32
wonder how this game would play when drunk...
haha probly just end up throwing the phone in frustration
God! I made it to Level 20 on Teeter with only 1 try then i failed miserably lol. Had like 15 tries by the time I hit level 22. I quit after that. too hard.
I'm as far as lvl 22 also.. Game is seriously addicting!
Have to check out that lvl editor....
funny, I can beat all 32 levels in like 5-6 minutes on average now. the levels that look the hardest theres usually a trick were you can skirt around a hole or between two close holes.
fun game. but i wish the levels got harder and harder. and then eventually the ball would get smaller and the levels larger.
im on 24
i wish someone could make a way to skip to a level

WTH?! My first try was over an hour. My all time best is 23.xx. 5-6 minutes, damn!!!
ok guys i breakthrough!
total 32 levels. i passed them all lol.
I made it through all 32 levels in 12 minutes.
ive finished the whole game in 2 tries and 10min 32 sec!!!!
I'm pretty sure some of you are exaggerating because once it gets to the point where there are sloped planes... so frustrating. I managed to beat the entire game the first time running through it but it took me half an hour. I imagine the more I play it the easier it will get lol but after level 30 my neck started getting sore so those last two levels were a pain in the ass.
Just move on to Resco Bubbles - it's like Teeter but it has a little more variety to it.
my best time is 6:31
i break down my times and make small goals
1:00 first 6 levels beat
2:00 first 12 levels beat
3:00 level 16 beat
4:00 level 23 beat
5:00 level 27 beat
6:00 level 32 beat
i had many faults on the last 3 levels.
if you make goals for yourself it can make you much better. it made me better lol. shortcuts are the key.

High importance - [app request] - mma/boxing stopwatch

Hello Devs,
I am a MMA player/competitor and I have a request, when i'm rolling with my buddies or running drills we like to simulate actual UFC time (3x 3 min rounds or 5X 5 min rounds) i bought a everlast clock for 20 bucks and its simple the bell rings when it starts the highest it goes is 3mns up to 6 rounds (booo!) and then it rings again when it stops.
While i was training i was thinking man my g1 can do this Sh*& better....so if this seems possible i will donate up to $15 depending on how good your app is. I am a SERIOUS - i know time is money and aint sh^* for free nowadays lol
PM me if you wanna work it out - a nice interface the higher the amount donated
"stopwatch" clock with the following settings:
Round times: 2:00 - 3:00 - 5:00
Break times: 30 - 60 - 90
Rounds: 12
Rings similar to a boxing bell or whistle blown when started/finished (LOUD)
P.S i am aware of stop watches in the market but those are mainly for laps or stuff like that I'm requesting this for a specific purpose.
Mods - i know there is a specific thread for this but i need this to be seen for better results....
I'm not kidding when i said i will "donate" ASAP
I was thinking about writing something like this myself and today I found Tabata Timer on the Android Market and it seems like it is close to what you want. The only thing I wish is that it was an interval timer or could give like a 30 second warning chime. I still may try. Also it looks like rounds are in seconds so you need to do a little math.
I'll check that APP out but if you still wanna try this - please be my guess as i'm looking for specifics

My thoughts on the pebble smart watch

**Pebble smart watch review**
Decided to snatch up a pebble smart watch, and give my take on the device. Now i've had the galaxy gear(first generation) smart watch before, and was overall not happy as an early adopter of that particular device, which gave me a fresh perspective when experiencing the pebble. My most beloved things about the pebble is the battery life, waterproofing, and always on display. Unlike the galaxy gear which has to be constantly awaken to see the time, or else the battery would be even worse than what it is, the e-paper display on the pebble drains very lil energy, which will last you through the week. Comes standard with music control tools, alarms setting, and some stock watch faces. Which you can add more through the pebble companion app. Other remote and utilities apps can be found the companion app, to add functionality to your pebble. And with a price tag of $150, compatible with android and iOS, i'd recommend this smart watch to most, who's looking for an affordable smart watch.

I've had mine for a while now. It's one of the better options out there. The apps are what makes it great.

I agree on battery life, waterproofing, and e-ink display on the Pebble. Those were the main reasons I got this instead of another system AND will probably stay with it. I currently go from Monday to Sunday before I charge, though I will hook it up on Friday night sometimes. And it charges fast too!! I do think it's over-priced, as the Steel is WAY over-priced, but I am enjoying it so I guess it wasn't too bad. I tried a couple app's but none really did much for me so I use two watch faces, one analog and one digital, both customized with Canvas. My only complaint is with any of the weather functions. There are only 2 options and neither is what my watch uses so they are never in sync. The Glance app I found difficult to use, though everyone else swears by it. I'm trying to see if I'm using it wrong but I don't think so.

What do you find difficult about Glance? Maybe I can walk you through it. Set up is kind of meh and less than intuitive but once it is set up it's easy to use.
I love the Pebble for the most part. I can agree that the hardware is great. The battery life, the waterproofing and the screen are amazing. But the software is just a pain in the butt. I'm getting constant disconnections, the app FC's sometimes and the store is just unusable because it is slow. Also the lack of RTL support out of the box is a downer too.

I'm put off that I have to use my watch to see the changes and that it's, as you say, kind of "meh". Canvas I can see the changes on my watch before I commit, which is kinda nice. Plus I am constantly getting weather issues on it. Canvas isn't much better but it's noticeable. Weather is my biggest complaint with the Pebble. Why it just doesn't emulate whatever I have on my phone I don't know!

I tried Canvas and Glance, and preferred Canvas. As you mentioned, the ability to see the changes before sending them to the Pebble is great. I also like the ability to install it as a watch face as opposed to an app.

I agree. What I'm looking for now is an accurate weather app that is closer to what my phone is showing. Temp is ALWAYS off by 5 or 10 degrees. With only two wx apps to choose from its not that good. Accuweather is better.
Kind of off topic but I"m thinking of using Tasker. There is Tasker and Pebble Tasker. Are those two different apps? Do the work together? Separately?
I am also happy with up to 7 day battery life. And screening calls, emails, and text without pulling out the phone. Since I travel a lot, there are useful travel related watch apps. Finally, I can write my own Pebble app if I need it to do something I want. Which I've done, and published some useful ones on the Pebble App store under the name mikebikemusic. None of them require an android app.
I just don't get 7 days battery maybe 2 to 3days max
Sent from my SM-T530 using XDA Free mobile app
I've gotten to ~6 days at a stretch where I had the activity tracker disabled, Shake to light disabled, and didn't use it much other than just as a watch. With activity tracker on & using it moderately for music controls, fitness tracking & alarms I can get upto 3 days which is good enough
The 7 day usage that is advertised should pretty much be for optimized low-activity usage.
Maybe it's the activity tracker eating your battery. I don't have that but my battery lasts sometimes up to 10 days...with vibration for notifications. If I use music frequently in rife to work, it will last 7 days.

[Q] Heart Rate Monitor App?

It would be helpful to have a simple heart rate monitor app that takes your body/age stats and gives you calories burned during a workout as well as using the heart rate monitor to actually monitor your heart rate constantly during a workout rather than just a moment in time. Does anyone know if the hardware is preventing that, as it doesn't seem that it would.

Hi, i'm Manuel

Hey^^
I'm Manuel (i've turned 16 in march), i've been here many times with my older phones when there were problems (such as move more stuff to sd card xD)
I spent the most of my spare time into gaming and my workout (started lifting 2 years ago, i do everything at home ^^, it's usually 1.5 - 2h per day)
but also more normal stuff like chilling with friends or watching stuff @ YT or Netflix
I'd also like to say thanks ^^ for providing fixes for more cheap phones from china (like the zopo zp700 )
Edit: And Yah i'm into Metal and more Emo Style ^^
Welcome aboard! Enjoy the XDA forums and keep rocking!

Welcome to XDA. So you have the best of both worlds...great!
Cut back on the workout hours(?).
Increase the intensity and cut back to 1 hr maximum. Anaerobics first, cardio last if at all and no more than 20 minutes. Better to do cardio as a split training or on a separate day.
Do back squats once every 5-7 days. Rest/recovery and eating enough protein are a big part of strength training and bodybuilding.
Do Not overtrain. You're after results not to kill time... or yourself.
Add chinups if not already doing them.
Sprinting is high risk but highest hgh releasing exercise, like squats all muscles grow when you do them. Dead lifts are great too.
Always use strict form and technique. Don't go heavy until your form/technique is near perfect.
Avoid the machines especially leg extension; use the front squat instead.
Best to join a hard core gym; you learn new tricks from seasoned lifters. You benefit from lots of free weights, overhead bars, various benches, racks etc. You want lots of free weights, squat racks, benches and mirrors.
Done correctly weight lifting is a sport you can do your whole life.

Thanks ^^
and yahh it really depends on the day/musclegroup, i don't go to a gym yet, my mom didn't allow me and now where i've turned 16, everything is closed due to covid :/
I do warmup before thats about 10-15 mins alone^^, i do mostly bodyweight ecercises, i've got 2 dumbbells (with up to 15kg each) and a bar in the doorframe, that's all equipment i have
Btw my body changed soo much already (i was super skinny before and now everything has muscles visble like i'm not suuper muscular but it's like skinny-ripped now), it's me in my profile pic ^^

One or two sets of warm ups is enough, then gradually increase the working weight. You simply want to raise the temperature of the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Excessive warm ups burn up valuble glycogen in the muscles and liver that the fast twitch muscle need to fully activate; save that for heavy lifts. Never do static stretches cold; use full range of motion with your exercises to promote flexibility.
Your not gaining muscle because:
1. Not eating enough protein and/or calories
Get a good shot of protein and simple carbs right after a workout. You have a 20 minute window when the muscles are primed to absorb a lot of carbs and protein. Raw eggs are an excellent source of protein and other essential nutrients.
Eat .8-1.0 grams of protein per pound per day.
Go heavier on protein after a hard workout and the following 2 days.
2. Not enough sleep and/or inadequate recovery time. The muscle is fully recovered when it is; it's not an arbitrary time frame. May take 2 days or after a hard squat session up to 7 days.
Training every day isn't needed or even desirable especially as your learning.
3. Poor training techniques.
4. Overtraining.
You may gain muscle slower than some but gain you will if you train and eat well.
The squats are the king; when you do back squats everything grows.
Use a good pair of boots to squat; you want you feet planted on the floor; running shoes give way and can destabilize you during the lift.
You lift to -work- the muscle, not to lift the weigh.
Once you understand this your gains will accelerate. Lift for the burn.
Read as much as possible about body building or strength training. It's as much a mental and knowledge based art as it is physical one.
Get into a hard core gym as soon as possible.
Lol, the CCP virus ain't nothing... ditch the mask and get pumping.
