Hi, I have a problem with the heart rate sensor. It don't work correctly and show a random number (60, 56, 110, 60, 60, many result with 60 ...). I did 2 tests many times : on my hand and without my hand => random result.
I decided to test it with a belt heart rate ANT+ (very good, accurate product) and have a real different. The G watch R heart rate in realtime capture have a big problem. The value change from 110 to 70 in five seconds ... And it's not possible to use it when running. Sometime (1 time per 5 ?) it show the good value ...
Another big problem is that isnot possible to show more than 140 heartrates when running ... is it the contact problem ???
I think this is a problem general with the sensor of this watch.
Do you have notice that ?
Note that I tested with application : Sport Gear Tracker, Endomondo, Cardiograph, SensorBox for Wear
No problem for me, works almost same measure in same condition, between 70 and 79 every time in normal way.
You do not move and stay immovable during the measure.
First I'll say, I've never had issues getting readings above 140 when expected.
The watch heart rate monitor works best when you're not moving and it's never going to be as accurate as a chest belt monitor. The watch monitor offers convenience and a general ballpark reading for your workout. Try it for an entire workout. The values will fluctuate, but the overall average may be somewhere in the ballpark of what you might expect. It really all depends how you're holding your arm and the motions you're doing. I've found mine works best for walking actives, but not as well when I'm weight training.

OK, when I don't move, it's okay for cheking heart rate. Sometime it show 60, I think this is a default value when the sensor don't capture well.
But my need is the "real time" heart rate tracking for running. And it's not working well.
I found this and I understood why it cannot show more than 140bpm during "real time tracking"

Well, it's not very accurate for me either

That explains it best. Like I was saying, the watch is not going to beat chest monitors and will only give you a ballpark average at best. The watch monitors were not "made" for monitoring during activity.
A good way to cross check heart rate is to use Runtastic's Heart Rate Monitor app. I've found it does a very good job, but it is only snapshot. But a chest monitor is always best.
I've found the watch gives me a sufficient enough overall picture. Although I've found that the "R" gives me lower readings during activity than the Samsung Gear Live does. The Gear Live was giving me values that were too high during activity and the "R" gives me values that are too low during activity. But the ballpark changes give a well enough picture. I can see 55 minutes on the treadmill is working my heart more than 30 minutes of weight training.
I would have thought that watches would have the heart rate sensor on the bottom part of the strap. So they could read pulse from the bottom of your wrist. But I guess that would cost more .
I'm Denzel Washington brown and it works well enough for me.

60 is normal value if you are relax. 70 is common value.

With the "R", the value never goes below 60 and some people do have pulse below 60.

I don' agree with you. Human heart rate is between 60 and 80 at relax (for a professional sportif => less than 60). I have normally 68 when relaxing (test with a real professional machin).
With my GTW, it show many time 60 ... and why not 59 or 61 ???

Or just try it with the watch not on your wrist. Even with no pulse to read at all, it will show a value. I just got the Android 5+ updates. And just tried. It showed a pulse of "52". So maybe that's the new minimum. And that was testing while holding the watch in the air. I tried it with the watch laying flat on a table and it read "70" [emoji15] .
This is certainly not a tool to use when checking for signs of life [emoji1] .

So 60 is in the 60-70 interval no ?
Just an FYI. I got a new watch band for my "R" and it holds the watch to my wrist a bit more snug than the stock band. Now, my heart rate readings during workouts are better than with the old stock band. So, this may be something some of you may want to try, in order to improve readings.

The Sensor
I've actually been developing for the LG Watch R using its sensors (about 14 sensors or so are reported by the API). One problem is that accessing the heart rate sensor can't be done correctly as the Google API documentation suggests it should (ditto for the Step Detector sensor). Furthermore, the sensor events for the HR sensor will return not one float (as in, readings in bpm as expected) but a list of sixteen numbers!! (your guess here is as good as mine). I'd expect this from a shoddy brand, but LG? Come on!
However, what was most astonishing, is that the sensor is reported by the API as a "PIXART_PPG" . A PPG ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoplethysmogram ) is actually a very accurate sensor by definition, way better than the usual LED + Camera combo. Still, most of the events fired by the sensor return 0.0 (actually, a list of 16 zeroes. Sometimes the third number is set to something believable).
I'm actually pondering about contacting LG and asking them about a couple of things : a) Why didn't they update the way you access their sensors when the lollipop update was released and b) Why is their PPG so unreliable?!
What are your thoughts on this?
Response from LG?
Did you every get a response from LG?
Optical wrist sensors aren't inherently unreliable if it's a good sensor and the design seals out external light. Mio makes reliable wrist strap sensors, off the actual physical sensor in the g watch r is good, it should work better than it does.
ei05035 - I know this is an old thread, but did you contact LG? Did you get a response?

No, same question was asked older models, you know the watch measures your heart rate with that LED?
Imagine how fast it kill the battery if the heart rate sensor was always on?
What I would like is an app, you set the app to automatically measure your heart rate at intervals you can set.
Maybe once an hour when you are not active? or every 5 minutes during a workout?
You decide on the interval.
I would pay good money for such an app.

Uhhhh it barely drains the battery at all. It's something like 2% in 30 minutes. The gear fit, neo, and gear 2 all have continuous heart rate monitoring...
Hi All,
Recently I just bought the watch.
After a while, I realised that the heart rate monitor still produce readings even though I did not wear it.
Is this normal? Or my heart rate sensor has broke?
My heart rate monitor only "read" my heartrate when I'll press on show heartrate.
No automatic reading.

Actually, I don't mean automatic reading.
Just don't wear your smartwatch and run the heart rate monitor.
Let see if the sensor gives you random heart rate reading or not.
I have tried to do the same with moto360, the watch gives error "tighten the band and try again" instead.

Well, I have seen more than 140. But during exercise (especially running-cardio).
the readings are pretty much inaccurate.
As some poster had mention in your thread, unfortunately the watch heart rate sensor are not for sports that involve to much movement.

I've only had this device for 4-5 days now. My eyes have been really sore for the past 2 days now. I'm not sure if this is because of the Iris scanner or the Gear VR. Anyone else having the same problem?
How much time have you spent with the Gear VR? Does the problem stop when you put the phone down for a while?
In any event, persistent eye soreness should be diagnosed by a doctor, not by a cell phone forum.
While you wait for your optometrist appointment, have you tried using the blue light filter setting in your pull down menu?
Have you, by chance, suffered any type of head injury (mild or moderate)? Recent change in vision or new optical prescription? Things to consider.
This could be indicative of something far more important than a Note 8, so please do see an Optometrist.

It just comes and goes randomly putting the phone down doesn't seem to make a difference that much to me. I think it might be related to the iris scanner though. I've heard some people had problems with it on the S8 as well. Haven't used the Gear VR that much. 4-5 times, half an hour each time.
Bet its the VR...I struggle with this. I'm not sure what impact the Iris scanner might have but its not a bright light so can't imagine it causes too much harm. VR will tire your eyes especially after 30 mins. I watched a live SpaceX rocket launch and had to sit for a few mins after to recover.

You're not alone apparently. I stay away from shining even small amounts of infrared lights in my eyes. It's not with the small chance of damage to me.
How does the amount of IR exposure from a few seconds of iris-scanning compare to the amount of IR exposure from a few seconds of walking outdoors?

One is artificial, the other is natural. It may be a tiny risk, but Samsung even provides a warning about it when you activate it. My eye sight is just too important to me to risk it with new technology even if the risks are miniscule.
Also, it is the issue of the repeated exposure over a period of time. How many times do you unlock your phone a day? I think that is the concerning aspect in my eyes. Of course an unlock or two will not create eye damage. However, who has done the studies proving that repetitive direct eye exposure to IR lights are benign to eye health? The studies just aren't there.
Get Rid of Sore Eyes
If you have sore eyes then do not worry just try these below-mentioned home remedies. They are very easy to apply and you can follow these remedies for sore eyes treatments:
• Apply Slices of Cucumber: First of all, soak cucumber slices in ice cold water for not more than 10 minutes and then you can put those cucumber slices on your closed eyelids for next other 10 minutes.
• Apply Cold Bread: Get two loaves of cold bread and then place them on both the eyes. You can get rid of itchy eyes and eyelid inflammation as well with this remedy.
• Apply Slices of Potatoes: Place a piece of grated potato on your eyes for not more than 20 minutes. You can repeat this remedy for regular 4 to 5 nights to get better results.
Try all these home remedies and get rid of sore eyes at home with an ease. Know more at: Eyelidslift.com
Seems like you maybe sensitive to the infared light spectrum used by the iris scanner. I would recommend that you disable iris scanning and use the fingerprint scanner instead.
I don't use Gear VR or the iris scanner and my eyes are fine. I am a heavy user too, with one full battery depletion per day.
I don't have an issue with the iris scanner. I keep the phone about a foot away when I do the iris unlock (both eyes in the 2 circles).
I primarily use my fingerprint, then PIN code, but I rely on iris unlock if my hands are sticky or dirty.

Hz (refresh) is not the same as fps (framerate)...
And higher refresh rate actually makes everything smoother, including simple animations, etc. For example, I have a three monitor setup (2 x 60hz, 1 x 144hz), and you can easily see the difference just by moving the mouse cursor. Much smoother and easier on the eyes.
Razer includes a 4000mah battery...if Samsung bumps up the Note's battery capacity again in the future (and/or introduces further OS optimization for increased efficiency) then it could mitigate any additional draw in power. Personally, I think a Note 9 or 10 with faster refresh would be sweet

Yes it can be done, the Razer just did it. Not likely on the Note 8 though, but can't really say for sure. I do know that the refresh rates of some monitors can be overclocked, but it only works up to a certain point (much like ram or processors). So even if it were possible to increase refresh on the Note 8, I don't think it would be anywhere the Razer's 120hz. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong though.

Just found this article which explains a lot:
https://www.androidauthority.com/120hz-displays-the-future-or-just-a-gimmick-782717/
Sounds like the refresh rate on the Note 8 could theoretically be increased through software alone, but that it would likely introduce issues such as screen tearing, etc. In contrast, the Razer's panel (for example) has hardware technology to reduce or eliminate these types of artifacts. So I'd say yes it could techically be done on the Note 8 to some degree, but even then the results wouldn't be great. Better to have the hardware that makes it work right and delivers the desired/expected visual experience.
OLED is not able to do those high refresh rates yet.... Its hardware
Even if you got it to work it would absolutely kill the battery and if/any games even are optimized for 120 hz is another story.

You can see the difference if you have the video/game that uses it otherwise it's number theater . I would venture most folks couldn't tell between 60 and 144 unless it was in action. 24 to 60 yes, but beyond 60 is splitting hairs. Also on the small form factor of a phone, with the control latency of a phone not sure tour getting bang for buck . I am aware that Hz and fps are different ,just as I am aware that using different refresh rates in a triple monitor set up is just asking for problems as well. To me it's just the same as THX speakers on a phone or Dolby Atmos on a phone, yes they're there but it's more like a gimmick because of the small form factor. I am also biased towards pc gaming , and could not imagine playing any serious shooter on a phone, just like I couldn't do it on a console either(but at least consoles have the horsepower now).
My biggest fear is this catches on and Samsung ditches it's Amoled displays for LCD just to get the specs for the next phone.

No as I said you can see the difference just moving a mouse (or watching movies, etc). Also, no issues at all in a triple monitor setup with different refresh rates, so long as you know what you're doing. Obviously if you try and play a game on 3 monitors at once with different rates then you're asking for trouble lol. Anyways, moot point now as OP's question has been answered.
Animation in android
Can the animations and UI in android currently even run at 120? Are they not rendered at or around 60fps?

I wouldn't put too much credit in this article. They seem to be sort of talking out of their asses on this.
Adaptive display technologies reduce screen tearing yes, but their main benefit is the reduction of resources. Allow me to explain.
Your free to correct me if I'm wrong but this is my full understanding.
When a screen displays an image it has to get told to display an image. However, it's not quite as simple as the CPU saying, please display an image.
The screen will continue to display an image until it's told to Change to a new one (think of when your PC freezes. This is why the image can sometimes freeze. The display adapter has stopped sending new images to the monitor).
So what happens when your computer is creating a new image, 1000x a second? Well, it would tell the display to "display" 1000 images in a single second, even though it's only capable of let's say 60 (this is where 60hzcomes from) this creates the tearing effect. To combat this there are controls we can use, Such as vertical sync, where we can just Pull an image from that 1000 image pool when we want to display a new image. For example, your phone might tell android, since it is running at 60hz to just pull a new image from that pool once every second. We could also limit the software to only create a new image once every second as well to combat this. The problem with these is they require CPU cycles. And they have an impact on the memory, with the frame buffer holding that 1000 count image pool. Ideally went want the CPU to only worry about creating an image when we 'want' one. So that it can move on to the next process in it's Queue.
With adaptive display technology, we can 'sync' these two numbers without creating a significant performance impact, and because we have synced them the overall smooth transitions require less motion smoothing, or blur effects that alot of movies might use to help create that clean look (This magic is why movies at 24fps look fluid). When it comes to Android, 120hz vs 60hz would most definitely be noticeable, so long as UI transitions and the OS itself had animations that could display 120 different frames. Currently I think that it does not. Also, let's be honest, until the hardware starts supporting it, android won't support it. We are starting to see that support now, in the Razer phone and in some Sony phones.
I am unsure of the currently refresh limits of OLED. I do know however that OLEDs response time is faster than that of LCD. Response time doesn't directly effect refresh rate, That would be the job of the display controller, or whatever that strip is called haha. Response time is important though as it'll determine the quality of the images being displayed at higher refresh rates. Which would be the significant factor in whether you would want your display running at 120hz or simply 60hz
Also... Before anyone chimes in, with "you can't see more than 60 frames per second" your wrong. Don't bother. Sorry, but you've done zero research.

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?

Anybody come up with an app for that yet?

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.
