Has anyone had their heartrate sensor stop working after upgrading from 5.x to 6.x. I can install the 5.x firmware and my heart rate sensor works fine. I've also tried it on the LG watch urbane port and it works. I wipe and then flash back to 6.x (MWD48B) and then my heart rate sensor stops working. I've updated through all the 6.x versions and still nothing.
Any thoughts?
I find it works the first time after a reboot, but if it's left a while and you try again the light comes on and it takes the right amount of time but just shows the value of the last heart rate it detected.

Hi guys,
Just got my new Gwatch R. I cant seem to get a heart rate reading at all. Can anyone else get it to work? I'm trying through "ok google" and "check my heart rate".
Is there a clear cover sticker over the sensor? I can't seem to see one.
I've also noticed that the green light doesnt come on when I try to take a heart rate reading.
I usually say "show me my heart rate"' but just tried check and that worked too.
Do the words you speak appear on the screen?
Try an alternative app for this ... something like: Cardiograph
If it's still not working it probably means you have a defective unit that required replacement. Mine works just fine with both native and 3rd party apps.
are you getting the "tighten band and try again" message? Thats what i'm getting. I got 3 readings then it stopped. Tried power off and reboot.
Thanks for the replies guys, just worked out, I am running a developer version of Lollipop. Confirmed this is the cause, paired with mates N5 and it worked fine. Weird.

It is one of the few things that work when not paired to a phone, so that should make no difference.
Its likely the re pairing that fixed... I noticed issues with mine not working and it was because of an issue talking to the Google Fit app. I re syncronised that watch and boom working again.
I tried repairing, hard resets. None worked. When paired to lollipop it did some kind of firm ware update. I'm pretty sure that's broken it. When hard reset and paired to kk, there was no update applied and it works. I'm now running slimkat and it's working perfectly.
Each time I hard reset and paired with lollipop it applied the system update to the watch.
it happened to my oneplus one android lollipop as well. it just won't work, but i tried with cardiograph and it works.
use with fitness app
i guys,
is it possible to use watch as BT heart rate sensor with any fitness app, such as Wahoo Fitness or Runtastic, as we do with Wahoo/Polar straps, and get continuous HR reading during workout?
My heart rate sensor seems to work just fine and apparently I'm not dead.

Some apps do and others do not. Runtastic does not. I don't know about Wahoo. Endomodo does. Runtastic seems to want to market their own BT heart rate monitors.

I had the same problem a few weeks back .. google fit cannot take my heartbeat but using cardiograph it work ..
turns out the problem is with my phone .. upgrade the Google Play Service and Google Fit works fine ..
so the HW works without having to pair, but the software might need pairing ..

Did you upgrade to custom rom??
Then yes the pulse sensor gives an error, after a couple of retries it will work.
But this keeps coming back
If stock rom.
It works for me on adroid wear 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 without a problem

Yes, before I installed the custom firmware, TicWear and AsteroidOS
At the moment, the sensor only works on firmware 1.3
On the official firmware 1.4, 1.5 pulse sensor does not work (does not light sensor LED backlight).
Same problem here, the sensor stop working after flashing a custom rom and return to stock with fastboot, (led does not turn on).
But on 5.1.1 heart sensor works fine.
HR sensor works, but in strange manner
Hi,
I have just bought Urbane 2 and using endomondo as standalone tracker. I do not recall version that I had in the begining, but it worked fine. Now I'm on Wear 1.5.0 and 6.0.1 and while HR rate sensor works fine in LG app, endomondo works fine just as long as it's as front app. If I only turn display off or go to clock with endomondo tab in the bottom - HR & GPS sensor stop logging. They pick up back as soon as endomondo is recalled to the screen.
So far no solution from neither endomondo nor LG support.
I will be grateful for any hints, seems like something with working in background, but I found no option to change anything here.
I remember google fit automatically track the heart rate and log it into thr history after update to M1D64X. It can be noticed when I take off the watch and the heart rate sensor light is still on.
After the update to M1D64Y, google fit does not track heart rate by itself anymore. And there is some issue in google fit on demand heart rate monitor. After the heart rate test, it shows the number from previous result but not the result from the test it just did. If I keep doing the test repeatedly without leaving the app, it keep showing the same number. I have to quit the googlenfit and re-enter the app in order to look at the correct test result from the history log.
I tried factory reset, uninstall and reinstall google fit on the phone, clear app data, which all of them do not help.
The only way to make the fit running properly is to uninstall google fit on the phone and use the original fit that come on the watch.
Is it just my watch or it happens generally on LG urbane? Can anyone of you who have Lg urbane with google fit installed test it for me? Thank you.
..
The permission is not introduced by M1D64Y. It is introduced by M1D63 something several months ago. And I already allow everything in permission setting. Even if I do not give it permission, the app will ask me to allow those they need when the app just start.
This issue has been annoyed me for a long time. And I hope it is a software issue and has been waiting for the update of either watch OS or google fit.
Yesterday, there is an update of android wear on the phone ans update of google fit, after I install it yesterday, after about 20 hours, I notice there is a "sync" text on top of the screen when I enter the google fit on the watch. This sync is new and I have never seen it before. I tried the heart rate monitor, and it works now.
But I don't have automatic heart rate tracking in google fit, I don't know it has been removed or not. I am appreciated if anyone could confirm it, thank you.
I've same issue with Google fit, do not start heart rate monitor. It works only with LG pulse.....
Try the latest update of google fit, it fix the issue happen to me. Install the latest version of google fit on the phone, wait 20 mins to 24 hours for the update to be run on the watch.
In my case, the update is implemented on the watch after I take off the watch and let it charge overnight, around 7 hours.
Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the android wear community as I just received my LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition in the mail yesterday. I was setting it up and messing around with some of its features and I noticed that no matter what app I used (Google Fit, LG Health, Heart Rate OS, etc.), I could not get the heart rate sensor to actually read my heart rate The green light will flash for awhile, but the reading will always return an error. It would suck if I had to return the watch right after receiving it, so I was wondering if there are a few things I should try first. I've already tried a factory reset and that didn't do the trick.
Currently running the official MFD18T build (Android Wear 1.5.0.350911) with Google Play Services 10.2.98, if that helps.
Ever since upgrading the OS to 6.x when 1.5 came out my heart rate sensor has not worked. I loaded 5.x on it and the sensor works again. Now that I'm on AW 2.0 and android 7.1.1 the sensor still is not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
