Workout mode

Does the Gear Live have a workout mode like running and cycling on my Neo 2? I use it everyday and have to have it on there.

I am sure it will eventually have apps like Runtastic and such that will work. Just curios if it has any out of the box.
Does this watch have built in GPS?

Gear Live actively tracks your steps & heart rate on-demand; no workout mode currently available. GPS data obtained from paired device. Fitness apps are forthcoming, for instance Viewranger is releasing app with Google Wear support http://www.viewranger.com/en-gb/abo...offers-active-navigation-through-android-wear

Ok thanks for the info.

I'm sure this will come very soon after release. I see it being a main focus with these devices.

Runtastic has now updated to support wear fully. It has cards (displaying the usual summary info you get on phone, or something similar to what it does on sw2 already). And actions such as pause, start, view map etc. In fact iirc they have updated their screenshots on google play to show off wear functionality.

Yup...it appears that apps are starting to receive AW updates. Another fitness app recently updated with AW functionality is RunKeeper - pretty cool app; it integrates voice control.

it has to use the smartphone to tracking the activitys. can't use the android wear it self alone like fitbit, or gear neo.

Gear VR with Marshmallow 6.0.1 beta - nope

Just to save anyone disabling their Gear VR, the just released 6.0.1 beta OS update for S6/S6 edge doesn't work with the Gear VR, no change from the 6.0 release.
Don't go there if you wanna play Just wait for release
On the plus side, package disabler pro still works, so you can still play a bit (see other posts about disabling gear software launcher)

Thanks

i almost get it working and install every gear vr app install seperatly, but now i have to update oculus and that's not gone happen....

Hopefully, with the beta closing today, the release shouldn't be far behind.. Once that happens, then Oculus will hopefully update their side.

it don't work for me (network error) until yesterday I installed aterminator rom (6.0.1) connected to gear vr and it installed the setup normally.

OK - something seems to have changed for me - on 6.0.1 beta (G925FXXU3ZPA1/G925FBTU3ZPA1/G925FXXU3ZPA1) and it now works as it should (plug it in, with the gearVR service running, launch oculus, and no network error.. It installs all the bits and bobs and WAHEY!
Anyone else care to try?

That does not work for me. I still have to use developer mode to get the gear vr working on 6.0.1 beta

i see oculus was updated today - and i'm keen to try the MM beta. Anyone already on MM confirm if this update fixes the gear vr issues?

Still working fine here - but then it was working for me before the Oculus update (which I did get). It did re-set itself up after the update (as if it were a new install), but kept all the apps/config.

What's the Update on the Situation ? Can I somewhere get the VR Setup File ?

First time I plugged the GearVR in after the 6.0.1 update, it automatically did an update to the software (you get a voice instruction about removing your device from the headset). After a few steps on the screen about installation (can't remember them exactly, I'm afraid), it was up and running - no special actions, or workarounds needed.
All the security and intermediate updates haven't broken it since, at least for me.
Phone software (S6 edge): 6.0.1 (G925FXXS3DPB3)
Oculus Software: 1.17.7 (29547194)

No Notifications

Hi,
since one month i have a Xiaomi Redmi 4X with Android 7.1.2
My headunit is a Kenwood DDX9716BTS.
In general AA works fine. I'm just getting no notifications, for example from WhatsApp.
Also i get in the "Home Screen" (the Button in the middle) no info when i'm navigating.
I gave all apps the authorization's they wanted.
My old mobile was a Vernee Thor with Android 6, and it worked with the notifcations.
Is this a well know problem, or has it something to do with my setup?

Sleep As Android Support?

Has anyone been successful in using Sleep As Android with this watch? When I try to add the watch in the app, it opens the Play Store to the Galaxy Wearable app and says "this app is not compatible with your device". I already have the modified Galaxy Wearable app installed on my phone (Pixel 4 XL). I can't seem to get it to work.
I would appreciate any feedback.

You have to add companion app to the watch. I think it's Gear Plugin for Sleep or something like that.
Yes, it does work with Sleep as Android. Although it won't use the SPo2 reader. I'm anxious to see if it will on the GW4, but that sensor is wildly inaccurate on the GW3.

Rooted Android 9, what is your working setup?

Guys, I've a rooted Moto Z2 force, I'm plannig to use it as an android auto device only. AA is not available in the play store, but I can sidelode any version (I've downloaded the 7.2.62).
I'm tried a couple of tools, AA Tweaker, AA installer, etc, but so far only the cartube application is showing in the car screen (but e.g. fermata auto is not)
I'm planning to use the some official AA applications
- spotify, gmaps, waze, abetterrouteplanner
and would like to have
-youtube, netflix and maybe carscanner on the car screen (in motion as well for the passengers)
Please share you working setup, which tools and which versions (including android auto) are you using with android 9 - or point me to a thread where it is already discussed

Hi.
I have a non root samsung note 9(android 9) with wireless AA set up to aftermarket smart module connected to OEM headunit in my peugeot. Uninstalled AA. Installed screen2auto with AA Ease. Downloaded and installed AA 6.6xxxx version. Activated developer options and selected download from unknown sources. Playstore forced update on my phone to latest version 7.1xxxx but kept original settings and third party apps. Enabled wireless projections on settings and this works quite well provided bluetooth pairing. So can use voice control to for maps, music apps and receive and send messages.

Thank you very much, the android version was the problem I've installed AA version 6.9.613744 (instead of the latest 7.*) and everything started working instantly.

Sorry to bring this topic up again, the solution works for me for a few days, than AA is not showing the extra apps anymore. If I uninstall and install android auto again, it works again for a few days. I have no idea why, is there a blacklist AA downloads?

My samsung note 9 is non root. I installed as described above and still have apps on galaxy note 8(android 9) and note 9 ( recently updated to android 10). You can try clearing cache of AA. But you should read through screen2auto rooted thread as you will probably find solution and/or somebody will offer good solution.

Yes, Google blocked again all 3rd party apps with Android Auto 7.1.
With 7.1 I have the 3rd party apps for about 2 minutes. If I don't start Android Auto in this time, I have to clear data and cache of Google Play Services and Android Auto and do all the setup again. That means I have to do this before every car ride.
