Hi,
Seems that Endomondo requires a phone and can't track gps coordinates with gears s gps.
Alternatives?

The built in S-Health and Nike+ (I haven't tried Nike+ though) can do so without a phone.
S health does. Not sure about Nike+ will try it today.

I haven't tried that either. Could you report back on how it went? I've used S-Health and I'm happy with how it's performing. My next run, I plan to give Nike+ a try.

Nike+ worked fine. It showed me my heart rate when I looked at the watch, but I do not see that data on the app on my phone. What I do like about it over s health is the data does translate better over to the phone app better it seems.

Still would prefer a fully working endomondo though. Miss getting audibles at every mile.

I have the Google Finance app on my Defy+. In the last few days I noticed that the ticker had stopped updating. Tapping on the widget gets me an incomplete share price page and the title line says "Loading" continuously - it never finishes loading
I tried uninstalling Google Finance and re-installing it from Play. The result of that was that I couldn't add a share to the ticker list at all
Fortunately I had a Ti backup of the app so I restored that, with its data, and I now have the share back in the ticker - but it's still not updating. I've tried adding a different share to the ticker and it just sits there with the sync icon in the notification area, achieving nothing.
It's as if Google Finance can't talk to Google any more. All my other network apps, including eg Google Maps, work fine.
Anyone got any ideas?
I have the same problem, but my prob only started midday today
I also have the same problem. No idea what to do.

Its like Finance has been dying a slow death. I haven't been able to get my widget to auto update at all for months on multiple phones. Now this. I really wish there was another compact widget that would simply give me the current dow. Time to move on. Anyone have any suggestions?
The app called "stocks" uses your google finance portfolios and seems to work still (indicating a server-side problem for google). I don't like it as much as Finance, but at least it works. Doesn't come with a widget, though
Thanks but I really need a home screen widget

I think it says something that we are the only three people across the world making noise after Finance goes non-functional for about 3 days now.
I thought it was surprising that no one complained when the widget quit auto updating months ago. Here it goes completely dead and hardly a word.
If anyone is interested, I tried most of the widgets and this one is the only one that seemed to work and auto updated in as little as 1 min increments per the settings.

I have the same problem
For the past few days It didn't update any stock quotes. I deleted data and uninstalled then reinstalled and now it doesn't even update my portfolio from Google Finance server and can't add new stocks or do nothing. It is completely non-functional now.
I'm also having the exact same problem on HTC Evo 3D.
- App wasn't syncing
- Deleted data and lost my portfolio
- Reinstalled and still not working
- Sync icon stays in the left hand corner but it does not update
The portfolio is still available on the full/mobile websites.
Same problem here with my motor RAZR Maxx. Widget stopped updating so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now I can't get it to sync with my saved stocks.
Hmmm... yesterday I needed to rebuild my Galaxy S2 phone (had tried a different OS and had problems restoring the original). I had deleted google finance 2 days ago.
Today I reinstalled Finance, just to see.... and it's working fine! Got my portfolio reloaded and replicates prices nice & fast!
Soooo either Google Finance just started working again for everyone, or the solution to the problems reported here is some sort of delete..wipe..reinstall cycle
Good luck ladies & gents.

Apparently no reinstall needed. Wonder if by some miracle auto update started working also. We'll see when the market opens.
I sent an email to the support email address in the app and now it's working. Maybe they do read those emails.
Yup, working for me again now. Must have been a Google problem. (I did e-mail them about it twice but didn't hear anything back.)
Now all I have to do is find the RBS stock mnemonic which gives me the real current price of RBS ordinary shares. I know they're not great but 7.45p sure ain't right...
Google's Problem
I second ejstubb's assessment. I initially uninstalled / reinstalled with no resolution. As of last night, it seems to be working fine, so i can only assume it was a problem on Google's end.
Does anyone except me care about the fact that the stock monitor widget has quit auto updating months ago? I guess no one uses it?

I just checked the settings and mine was set to 4 hours. Maybe that is why I thought it wasn't auto updating. I just set it to 30 minutes.

Yes it did. I wish it would update in shorter increments, but this is better than before.

What is your phone and rom?
I have tried to find any information about this but to no avail.. My issue is that when use Google Maps Navigation when driving the Maps will crash in a way where the whole map screen vibrates as if its not able to recognise my position and obviously its impossible to tell when i should be turning next. I have Stock ICS XXBLH3 Firmware rooted with latest Maps update and Maps Beta Navigation and Siyah Kernel

Because the data load to display the maps is huge! Take into consideration you are on data connection, jumping between cell towers.....it's a foregone conclusion that it can't keep up
---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------
it might be possible to work around this by pre-cacheing the route at home on Wi-Fi, never tried it but it might work
Although I don't have an answer, this also happens to me. I can use satellite view, and if the data collection slows down I get missing tiles. However the fault I think being described is that the screen starts to vibrate rapidly, flashing between two views and the only solution is to close maps from task manager and restart.
This does it on normal map view too (not satellite), and had only happened since JB update.

Hi guys.
I bought this watch so that I can install my fitness apps and thus do away with the need to walk with a phone in the pocket.... My main outdoor apps are MapMyFitness and Runkeeper with MapMy being my preferred app. Unfortunately MapMyFitness force closes as soon as I log in and launch the app. Funny thing is that without logging in the app is ok but of course would be useless without logging in.
Please does anyone know how to sort out this..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapmyfitness.android2&hl=en

Something in the recent ROMs has caused this - on my March firmware it worked for me, but since putting either of the two updated ROMs on, it crashes, as you say.

Thank you for the response. I seem to be running an older firmware. The system identifies my rom date as 2013/08/14 (Version 1). However I have a slightly difference device as mine is the OTOUCH Wave though its basically the same smartwatch wearing a different uniform - http://xtouchdevice.com/en/product13.html#techspec
By the way I have no idea whether I can use a micro sd card with the watch. I havent opened up the base yet as I am ok with it as it is but I would not mind additional storage as I have the 4 GB version where only slightly above 1 GB is available for storage... I saw from a different model that the sd card slot is reached after opening the back cover but not sure this is true for all the TrueSmart variants. Any advice on this please?

On the micro SD question, the only reference I could find to it having the capability was through one of XTouch's resellers - http://translate.google.co.uk/trans...prev=/search?q=r24+mobile&client=safari&hl=en
For certain, opening it up will tell you!

Agreed. It shall go under the screw-driver this weekend. After all the allegation of the watch being waterproof is doubtful so there is nothing much to lose. I still love the watch for outdoor activities and even though there are a few glitches its still much better than running with a smartphone. I am not even sure that I can use both MapMyfitness and RunKeeper using the watch at the same time as I have to exit one app before launching another app unlike the phone where I have been using both apps simultaneously.

That interesting but no joy for me. I uninstalled and re-installed the app but no change for me. I guess my older firmware should be the culprit then. Le me hope that there will be an upgrade to either 4.3 or 4.4. Please do check for me whether it is possible for Runkeeper and MapMy to run simultaneously. I do appreciate your invaluable feedback and sorry for my many requests....
One of the most useful features of this watch I found is to set a timer by saying 'ok google..set timer for ...minutes'
However, this no longer works for me and when I try to do it, it just takes me into the timer app itself, which is annoying as it's a lot less convenient and also it's not possible to set certain intervals ie 20 minutes.
Any idea what's going on?

Thanks for your input. I suppose it's some relief that the issue is with Google rather than us. Just hope that this is resolved quickly unless it's intentional.
And it's working again...
Hello
I noted an issue in the way the Note 5 GPS gets the altitude data.
I tracked the same Hiking with endomondo on my Iphone SE and my Note. While the distance made is similar on both, the elevation is totally different.
Iphone SE: +230/-210 m
Note 5: +1102/-1096 m
As you can see there is a factor x5 between both devices for the same tracking. I know that ascent can be approximate but here the difference is really too much.
Do you get the same erroneous data?
I tried several times, and always the same result. For some hikings I even knew more or less the expected total elevation, and iPhoneSE was really close to it while the Note 5 was way out of range...
Cheers
This is a budget friendly Chinese phone.. don't expect it's GPS to be equal to Iphone

I've had this problem like Strava at miui. In AOSP roms all measurements are normal, I believe that miuides turn gps on or decrease accuracy when locking the screen. Download the GPS Status and Toolbox app and give it permissions to start automatically and put in the multitasking lock. Leave this app running along with the measurement app you use and test, give me the results.

Ok thanks, I did not know this multitask lock feature actually.
Looks like there is not auto-start on Miui though. But I guess that as soon as it is started and locked in parallel of my tracking app (Endomondo) it will be ok, right?
I will test and let you know
