The watch has its own PGG based heart rate sensor (which doesn't work continuosly) and I want to purchase an external heart rate monitor like a Polar Bluetooth, which monitor will Endomondo use? Will Endomondo use the watch's monitor or the external (Polar)? Is there a way to override the watch's monitor because I prefer the external (Polar) and have a continuos heart reading?
Thanks a Lot!!

Hi...
Anyone could help me!
I've recently bought a Polar H7 Smart Bluetooth heart rate monitor, but it can't pair with my SGN2. The original bluetooth software of of neither find the Polar H7 device.
Same applications find the Polar H7 one of them shows the heart rate, but the other's doesn't works, like endomondo ( this is the app that i use to workout).
There is any way to force the connection, or auto connection, with some script or in the terminal emulator?
Thanks...
Try with Runtastic Pro. The connection is made from the Runtastic app settings, not from the BT settings for Your Note2.

Hello I am running a custom rom Eclipticone-4.3-v2 and for some reason my heart rate monitors are no longer paring with the phone.
Anyone encounter problems connecting to Bluetooth heart rate monitors such as the runtastic combo + after upgrading to 4.3.
I want to know because if people are having no problems connecting to Bluetooth on stock android I am heavily considering going back to stock.
Has anyone got a polar h7 bluetooth heart rate strap to work? I can get it to pair with the phone but no app (endomondo, runtastic etc) will see it.
Thanks
Hi, I'm interested to use the Gear for cycling and running without having to bring my phone with me.
Has anyone tried to install a full fitness app on the gear (MapmyRun of Runkeeper...) and pair with a BT HR strap and a BT stride sensor?
Any recommendations for a fitness app that does not need an internet connection when recording? Other than that - should work right or no?
No GPS so will not be that useful with out the phone.

GPS not needed for distance - BT stride sensor can give as accurate as GPS and indoors also... my question can we run a fully installed fitness app on the watch, pair using BT a HR and a stride sensor...and then upload when connected to the hanset after completion..?
If the app supports cloud sync across different devices under the same account then it'll work.

Stride sensor vs pedometer, what's the difference?
A pedometer just counts noumbr of steps. A stride sensor/footpod workiing out ur strides and stride length and therefore distance travelled.
Check a Polar S3 footpod for an example - I cant post a URL here yet. - this is not BT enabled but just for demonstration purposes....Fitness apps have standard profiles for receiving signals from Heart Rate straps and footpods.
The gear is BT4.0 enabled. SO we should be able to pair a HR and footpod. Just need an app that dont need internect connection and should be able to do right?
Data Syn not important really - just nice of possible after thats all...
At present the Gear is useless as a fitness watch - not waterproof, no gps and needs the handset... Hoping the Tizen Gear 2 will have the type of fitness app Im looking for that can operate independent to the phone for running...
I don't think any smartwatch in this or next generation will be officially designed for self-sufficiency. The current focus is notification and senor feedback to the phone.
The Gear 2 like the Gear 1 will require a handler by the smartphone for most of the analysis of the sensor data.
That's where the advantage of the Gear 1's Android OS comes in.
You can make it self-sufficient by installing any Android App directly on it.
With the null rom, you should be able to connect other accessories to it as long as you have an app that supports reading the sensor data.
New to the watch scene. I purchased the galaxy 5 pro golf edition watch. Quick question. Do I need my phone within bluetooth distance for the watch to give me gps distances? ie. is the watch actually giving me distances from my phone and not directly from the watch?
Yes the watch has a built in GPS and as long as you have a sport active which tracks your GPS position, it will give you the total distance. The GPS data processing algorithm on the watch is not that good tho. But since you would be playing golf in an open space, it would be probably quite good.
