Hello!
I read today that Strava Running/Cycling app now supports Gear Fit, and today they have released an update that fixes some problems with Gear Fit.
Has anyone tried Strava and Gear Fit together? You need a premium subscription to get heart rate working, and I'm concidering a premium subscription if anyone can confirm that heart rate is recorded when using Strava.
Thank you for answers!

On my fit there is nothing about Strava at all. I wish though.
EDIT: I see it now, but I can't get the app to connect with it.

I think the app connects automatic if you check the option in app connection section. But you have to have a premium subscription to register the heart rate - as far as I have understood.
It works! Even with the free version.Nice!
You can start stop via the Fit. Great potential.
Hope now for runtastic and others.
Fantastic gadget.

I can get it to work with free version of strava but cannot get the heart rate, do you able to get heart rate on free version of strava?
I am considering get the premium version if anyone confirm it is able to get heart rate from gear fit.
Thanks

Indeed it works with free version of strava, without HR monitoring. You can start / stop new session from the fit, and see several details (speed, distance...)
Same question here : anyone knows whether HR monitoring works with the premium version?
also on gear 2?
Is this only possible with gear fit or also with Gear 2 (neo)?
I can't find any strava option in my gear manager for gear 2 neo.
It looks Strava is similar with Gear Fit Manager. Why do we need to bother one more app?

Strava has a lot more feature than S Health. Especially social network where you can compete with friend on segments.

Thanks for your response. Let me see if it fits to me.
Just received response back from Strava Support that Strava not able to read HR data in GearFIT SDK at the moment , even on Strava Premium. Hope Samsung will open it up soon on the GearFIT SDK.
Below is the response I received:
"
Hello,
Sorry about that. Currently, the GearFIT SDK does not allow us to read HR data, but maybe it will in the future. Please accept my sincere apologies and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Cheers,
Rudolph
Strava Support Team

I work for Strava and was part of the Gear Fit & Gear2 implementation. In our next Play release the Fit support is a little cleaner, a couple bugs fixed, etc... We did the best we could in a limited amount of time. Anyhow, if there are any other questions or comments, I'm happy to answer the best I can.
With regards to the internal HR sensor, I'd suggest checking out this review http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/04/pinnacle-samsungs-activity.html
also...
Not quite advertised yet but the new Gear devices also support really real time segments. Right now the Apps & Apps+ Pebble do audio announcements at 0%, 50% & 100%. The Gear watches give you updates as soon as your device knows 0-100% w/ your time against your PR. We did this in Glass too. (Disclaimer: Starred segments & premium users only)
Thanks for the explanation.
Btw. have you asked Samsung about the accesibility of HR sensor data ?
It´s really weird if they allow it on Gear 2 for 3rd party apps, but not on Gear Fit .....
I'm using a gear fit with strava, it's great getting the real time segment performance.
Star the segments you're interested in for best results.
Took a bunch of time off my PRs as a result.

Yeah, I think in time access will come for the Fit. Gear2 just had a little head start in terms of dev from what I can tell.
Fit was clearly rushed out when it wasn't ready in order to get out with the Gear 2 and S5.
Installed Strava on my Samsung Device. It also shows up in the app-connection on my fit. But how to start a new session directly from my fit? Or do i have to carry my phone with me all the time while running and start the session from my phone?

The review you referred to includes this:
It should be noted that heart rate data is not accessible to Strava today with the Gear Fit (it is with the Gear2 however)

However, this is not true, as Gear 2 owner I can tell Strava app on Gear 2 doesn't provide access to HR data from the watch (you can only use some sensors supported by the phone app itself). Care to comment?

That's true, we don't support HR values from the Gear 2 at the moment. When I wrote that our Gear2 app did, but by the time the app got out of QA into the store it was disabled*. SDK access wise to HR sensor though. Gear2 yes, Gear Fit no.
*would be easy to enable with a tiny bit of exploring.

That's OK mate, HR sensor on Gear 2 is a piece of crap anyway.The reason why I don't use Strava is because is doesn't support the kind of chest-strapped BT LE HRM I have (right now it supports only Orion or something like this). Until it does, I'll stick to MapMyRun or Runtastic.

Yesterday I received my Gear Fit from Amazon us.
My first impression is not bad but there are still some points that are missing or i didn't found them -->
- They are some standard answers stored that only can send via sms to not accepted calls.
Is it possible to send standard answers to whatsapp/ hangouts or facebook chat?
- Why its not possible to accept a call?
- In Whatsapp no photos are shown ...why not?
- Notification LED ...little point on the screen?
- Touch gestures... three finger tip opens xyz , swipe opens ...
- Training what about fitness training ? only running, bycing, Swimming?
Would be great if custom roms could be done for this device ...i do not expect that Samsung will improve the device that much.

Gear doesn't have OS, so there won't be custom ROM!
Gear are primarily focused on sports and simple notification. If you want more you had to bought Gear 2, Sony SmartWatch 2, LG G Watch or Gear Live.

1) Download Gear Fit Phone from Google Play. Then go into it and then settings. you can accept the call through the Gear Fit but it will answer on your phone.
2)Whatsapp isn't compatible. Ask the Whatsapp makers to make a SAMSUNG_CUP_ENABLED app so you can answer through your gear fit.
3)If you can't fell a vibration for 2 seconds on your hand your really not sensitive...
4)You can have custom ROM's, Just that it will be very very very light ROM because the Gear Fit has almost no memory, because of that the answers that you can send back to your SMS are from the phone.
The Gear fit has an RTOS, Real Time Operating system, Most of his things are from the phone. All apps that you download from GP like Gear Fit Phone must be on your phone and the Gear must be connected. You will get a option on your phone named App Connect where the apps are.
I hope I helped!

This all depends on what you want your watch to do. There are alot of apps but most are not formatted for our Gear S they are more of gear 2 apps that many/many not work for our phone. Apps will increase soon.

There are a TON of trolls out for the Gear S so thicken up that skin. In the meantime, here's a great video that is relevant to your question:
http://youtu.be/vebsY_puqmY
You're in good hands. Ignore the haters.
BTW, is there any tunein app support Gear S?
many thanks.
I found these useful
There is a lot of space on the Gear S and if you are not planning to add loads of music and photo's you can pretty much download all the free apps and try them out. But what I have installed and find useful are the following:
OPERA MINI Web Browser - ESSENTIAL!
GEAR NAVIGATOR - Very impressive navigation app with a gorgeous interface. Unlike the free HERE app, this can be used for driving. It also has street view, so ideal for walking directions too. It's a paid app but quite cheap
MY NOTES - really good for checklists and notes, synchronised with a nice looking companion app on the phone
SUPATIMER - Get 6 separate timers running on a cool interface
TIMER - Just one convenient timer if you don't like SUPATIMER
TRAVEL TRANSLATOR - Impressive voice recognition translator with loads of different languages
WEARABLE WIDGETS - Show any widget from your phone onto the Gear (Ignore any information that says you have to use the Wearable Widget Clock - the Widget Screen version does work)
COMPASS - Very cool and accurate compass
APPYGEEK - All latest tech news displayed perfectly on the small screen
VOICE MEMO - Very cool voice recorder and speech to text function
GEAR TASKS - Syncs with various different task accounts
FIND MY CAR - Haven't tested it completely yet but seems to save your parking position at least.
CALENDAR PRO - A paid app but definitely the best calndar app for the Gear
DOG WHISTLES - Just for fun this one, but drive people around you (and dogs of course) insane with this.
As for watch faces, I wouldn't bother with most of them as they just looked lost on the big 2" screen. But I did buy BIG CLOCK LAUNCHER which is cool for a big digital clock with a lot of customisation, with up to eight quick launch shortcuts.
I also downloaded DESK CLOCK, which I use as a more discreet clock and you can change the colours on that too.
Find these apps in the Samsung Gear Store, only accessible via Gear Manager.

Becareful thinking this, we thought the same thing with the galaxy gear and the gear 2/gear neo. ........... Still waiting for that amazing app. lol. The only app i think is really cool is the radar watch which will be the first app i get if its avail.
We also noted one thing and i hope this isn't the case with the gear s, in that. The amount of apps you had access was dependent on the "phone device aka Note 3, note 4, s3, s4" all had different apps or one had more then the other. So my note 3 gave me access to some apps i still can't see on my note 4. Including the killer update for flesky which was super cool on my note 3 and gear 2 but not avail for note 4 and gear 2? weird.

Hi Tincore,
awesome idea you had there, and I am willing to test your app.
Tomorrow evening I'll receive a Polar Loop.
Could you please add in the first post what version of Android one needs to have?
AND, if you need to be rooted for the app to be tested?
I have a GT-I9305 (Samsung galaxy S3 4g) with stock Samsung android 4.4.4
If the second answer is no, I am willing to get my older (though fully working) rooted Nexus One Android 2.3.7, hoping it will work
Best of luck.

About the Polar loop. If it uses the standard BT characteristics it can show the step count. The code is there but I have not tested it.
About other features I would probably need to reverse protocol for integration.

Crashes continually
After last update the application continually crashes and restarts. This can even lead to phone reboot. The one thing that helped is to delete application (this caused my phone to reboot). Android 4.3, MIUI 5.
This app made me register this account and buy a MiBand! Thanks for you work.
The Google Fit integration is amazing enough - but I was wondering if some integration - data import was possible from food logging apps like Myfitnesspal or others on the same tune.
Again, great job, I've already installed this on my phone.
Hi @tincore, JMo from Play Store and email here.
I'm on Mi Band firmware version 1.0.9.55 and I'm not aware of any problems but I'm not using all the features of the app yet. Happy to test for you if you want to tell me what to look for. You're welcome to email too if you prefer.
Never mind I got an answer.

Okay, my question is how the calorie expenditure calculation is done. According to my Tanita body composition scales, my BMR is about 1200-1250 calories, but Gliderun thinks differently and according to Gliderun, I burn ~1000 calories daily even being active. Discouraging. Demotivating.

Calories estimation is just that an estimation. Makes no sense counting them with to the unit exactitude. Having said that 200 calories is two bananas.
For the record I use VO2 based formulas.
Hi,
Thanks for all the good work! I just have a question. I see that my step count gets updated only if I go to sensor/wear menu, select the miband 1s and then select refresh.
I mean it does not get updated by itself when I open the app or on time intervals, but only manually. Also the step count on the dashboard is a little different than in the sensor/wear menu. Is it normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

It should update unless sensor tracking is disabled. In that case you would only get data if you synchronize.
It could also be that a band sensor is disabled and the one active is the one on the phone. You can see the active one on sensors screen.

Hey there! Just letting you know that Samsung has started to approve our watch faces. Digi-Glow, Space Dance, Burning Skull, and Fit Rocket have all hit - still waiting for Fit Trek and Cloud Fit to make it through. Also have many more about to be submitted!

Open the Gear Manager app, then click Samsung Galaxy Apps at the bottom. Once in Galaxy Apps there will be a "Gear" tab which has the watch face section in it. Make sure your Fit2 is connect via Bluetooth or you might not be able to access the correct section of Galaxy Apps. Let me know if you need further assistance and I'll be glad to help.

actually, when I do that, I can see the same list of 8 watchfaces which was always there before, not the new names you mentioned. Maybe related: I cannot find the spotify app either. I have the latest spotify on my cellphone and my fit 2 is connected. In another thread, someone pointed out this might be region related? FYI, I'm in Belgium...

Ah, yes - this could be a location thing. It takes time for the apps to trickle out to the different markets and they just hit in the US this morning. Another variable is the type of phone you are connecting the Gear Fit2 to. When submitting the binary files for the watch faces, we select compatible devices (aka: select all). This is what makes it show up in Galaxy Apps on that particular device. Right now it lists 62 devices - when the Gear S2 lists 126. What type of phone are you connecting to?

Shouldn't be a problem... Your phone meets the requirements. Hopefully just taking a bit to hit the app store. Let me know if you don't see anything within 24 hours and I'll put in a ticket with Samsung to find out the issue.

Can you make a simple one, just like the stock one, but featuring MM/DD? Seems like the only ones that have a MM/DD are super flashy.
Thanks!

I'll put in a ticket to see why they are not showing up in your location and when they might be available! Might not hear back until Monday depending on Korea and if anyone is working in dev support this weekend over there.

Hello Gear S family.
I need a honest advice on Purchasing gear S. I want to jump into smartwatches world but i am limited on budget. I selected No.1 G6 chinese smartwatch for $40 but then i looked around and saw Gear S in used for $100.
Is it still worth that price? I don,t want to spend more on a watch whose usability i know isn,t going to be much.
My main usage would be accepting calls, fitness tracking and notifications. Are there any issues with this gadget?
Looking forward to some good advices. Thanks

Thanks. I am happy with purchase.
Anyway to clear notifications from phone automatically once read from connected gear?
Yes it worth getting if you like the look
To clear notification you must select clear on the notification menu, not happen automatically.

Gear receive notification from android phone. So try to see if you can disable notification SIM2 on your phone settings ?
Go ahead man with gear s without thinking. It is a great gadget and will fullfill all of your mentioned requirements. I have just bought one recently and have found it an excellant machine. Only issue with my machine is that its sim card does not work in Pakistan, which means it can not operate for messaging and calling at its own. However, it works perfectly fine with your samsung mobile.
