First, I want to say hello to all xda members and developers! Now I will tell you my problem : I have a SyncMaster T27A300 samsung led tv , and a ps3 console. When I play on the samsung tv the textures are like set to very low , in my parents' room there's a led lg smart tv 200hz (I don't know the name) a pretty good one and there , the textures are like set to very high/max , anyway it's waaaaaay better than my samsung . And as an weird example I have a chinese tv , i really don't know the specs , only that's lcd and the name of the company is "Changhong" , anyway it looks like it's made in a garage ) and even there the textures are on high . On the samsung I tried every single settings every of them one by one , even game mode , anything but still every game is like a 2002 game. So how can this be explained? The lg 200hz one yes it HAS to be better , but the chinese one doesn't even have many settings (only contrast,brightness,saturation and clarity) and doesn't have "game mode" but still the textures are better ... I used on all the tvs, the same games , the same cables everything ..
So please help me how to make this samsung **** better or suggest a better tv in the 300-400 euros range . (the lg was about 400, the samsung about 350 or so and the chinese that owns the samsung about 150 or 200 ))) )
PS: The samsung has a function to update the firmware via usb , so maybe custom roms for it ? ))))
Thank You xda!

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.

After some hours of googling i finally found a good running app which support the Sensors of our Watch .
-I didnt test it really because it is already dark out there . But tomorrow or on the weekend I will test it.
It seems to be better than Runtastic,
but you need to pay monthly to get all features.
Runtastic allows you to get most features for a one time fee (5$/€)
It looks like Endomondo can record it for free (Be sure to activate it under smartwatch settings) for a detail view of you heart you need to buy premium though.
I did not find any other App that support measuring your heartbeat while making sports.
Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.endomondo.android
I hope this thread helped you
I use run.gps full also measures heartbeat with sensor of my G Watch R (after selecting in setup)
Can read all necessary info on your watch during workout.
Best regards,
Niels
last i checked, Endomondo does not support the lg g watch r at all for recording heart rate or anything. only thing i could get it to do is start/stop the run.

I thought the same thing too. I use Mapmyrun which just added Android Wear support. Seems to work great with my LG R watch. No heartrate support while running though. I just take at a few times during my run. easy enough..
If you have an LG phone (i.e. G3) the built it app (I think it's LG Fit rather than the LG Health app in the store) does this really well...but like I said, only on LG phones.
I used Strava before, but after seeing this, I started using Endomondo.
yes, it fully supports Android Wear, including the G watch R.
comparing it to Strava, the Endomondo wear UI is much nicer and it has that nice heartbeat tracking. However, the web UI is god awful!! Truly truly terrible!!!
Hope they will update it soon.

Endomondo works great with the "R" and has full heartbeat support when used during workouts. You just need to make sure you enable it in settings. It is not enabled by default. I used it daily and have for months. We have old threads here talking about Endomondo.
Endomondo and the LG G WATCH R
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? Would the watch display the external monitor's heart rate?
Thanks a Lot!!

I use the free version of Endomondo for cycling and it recognises and logs my heart rate all the time. It can be a bit laggy at times but works perfectly.

Well, I am not sure about Android gear, but FITSO is the best fitness app i have ever seen.
I have basically tried every fitness app out there, and they are all feeding wrong data (distance) as I am quite sure when I run for 900 mtrs, Strava, Google fit and all the rest shows 1 km whereas only FITSO shows 900 mtr. I know it was 900 mtr as its a measured distance and written on milestone. Similar case has been there multiple times.
Also, most of awesome features are locked behind premium version of all other apps except fitso which offers all the training plans and workout plans free with virtual voice coach.
In short, you guys should try FITSO app.
What about RunnerUp?
Hearbeat works great with endomondo and gwatch r.
I recommend a very flexible silicone watchband for sports because its more accurate when tightly attached to your arm. Silicone band makes it still comfortable and easy to clean.
BTW: If you setup endomondo you have to wait for the watch to download the app and start/update once before you can toggle the heartrate sensor function

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

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 )
