Heart Rate Sensor

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 ..

The problem with the heart rate sensor after upgrade

Stops working pulse sensor after updating to Android 6.0.1
I downgrade to 5.1.1, everything works.
Put through fastboot 6.0.1, the sensor stops working ..
Who faced with similar?

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.

Heartrate Sensor

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.

Heart Rate Sensor Readings Don't Work

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.

Proximity sensor broke after update to Android 11 + OneUI 3.0

Hi!
I have a Galaxy S10 G9730 (Snapdragon) and last week I've installed Android 11 + OneUI 3.0 via OTA. The phone started to give so much problems, battery drain, rotation sensor stucked until reboot, etc... I ended up hard-reseting it to solve problems.
All of them have dissapeared but proximity sensor is not working anymore, I tried some apps to test it but none of them detects anything. Also on phone hardware test "*#0#*" I didnt found anything to test proximity sensor.
So any of you had the same problem? Maybe it's some kind of hardware fail? I'm like 80% sure that it stoped working after that last update but not 100%....
Thanks guys!

Have you checked the Galaxy Store and Playstore for system apk updates?
If you could try reflashing it... it's very unlikely it's a hardware failure, at least with the proximity sensor.
May be a bad flash or it is the firmware which is probably the most likely.
I'm still running Pie because it's a lighter, faster OS that I find easy to use. The Q and especially the 11 "upgrade" would slow my 10+ down and reduce/destroy functionalities I use.

Yes, everything is updated. Afer a reboot it worked again, but after some hours of use, proximity and rotation sensor started to fail again.
Android 11 update its a complete failure, I'm thinking about going back to android 10.

That just sucks.
If you can tolerate it Sammy should eventually punch out an update for that issue.
It's possible you got a bad flash. Anymore I'm inclined to leave everything on the factory load if it's running well
I get damn tired of playing footsies with cactus...
Q isn't being well received as Google -tries- to kept its poor adoption rate secret.
11 is a real whack job. Google is on a losing streak. Lol their next OS will be code named Snake Eyes
It makes upgrading my hardware platform a big no go... no good OS available for the hardware.
