[Q] Runtastic watch - Samsung Gear S

Is there any android watch that can run Runtastic apk with gps and maps working without pairing with other device?

Your best bet for runtastic on Android would be the sony smartwatch3. It has gps, runs android, maybe runtastic will develop their ap to include gps.
I got the gear S because tizen is better than android, for now.

Which GPS tracker?

Hi guys,
Which gps tracker do you use?
I have two alternatives. I use it for bike tours and running. These are:
. Open Gps
. Maverick
These programs are fairy good stuff but M has not the ability of having notices during the route.
And an other problem of mine: gps sometimes turns off and my track lost data for a long distance. I have tried Tracker booster app but I think it is useless above Android 2.1.
So what is your experience about tracking? Share with us. Than you! ;-)
Hello,
I use CardioTrainer for my bike rides, there is a map tracker, calories burnt counter, there is an option to share you rute via Facebook, upload route to your account on their server. It has audio player integrated in the application, it is free and you can download it from Market
Cardiotrainer is very good for walking and running.
For bike riding i use RunKeeper, does the job
my gps tracker
I used the GPS tracker TK-102, it is very small ,and it can put it to the pocket , it can protect u , cars, pets , kids well .

Does the Gear S have media controls?

I understand there is a music player. You can control the music from the music player on your phone or on your watch, but I use Spotify most of the time and don't actually have any music on the phone itself. Right now I have the Gear Live and it works great for media control. Anything that would pop up controls on my lock screen, for instance: I also get controls for video too like Netflix when I'm streaming to Chromecast. I've been unhappy with the very limited cards interface of Android Wear and was looking at the Gear S but I really need media controls.
Also will the Gear S only work with Samsung Messages? Can I use Samsung Messages on the watch while using something else on my phone? Right now I'm using the Google Messenger app they just released with the beautiful material design look.
I would love it to have basic Bluetooth music controls also which is a MUST. Very few ppl still use the stock music apps and not online services.
That way we can control other devices and stereos also.

Hm. So the Media Controls app doesn't seem to have made it to the Gear S even though it is on the Gear 2 and all of the others. Not sure why it isn't there.
The Gear S will only work fully with Samsung's messaging app on the phone. Hangouts functionality beyond notifications is locked down to Android Wear and Android devices by Google.
So there is no Spotify control on gear s? ?
I control Spotify flawlessly from my gear s. It's a wonderful feature.
Actually there is one. Stock music player is the basic bluetooth media controller.. just click 3 dots on the bottom right of the widget. Then you have option to 1 control device and 2 control music on the gear. Choose control device. Now you can control the media with your gear s.
I call samsung as samsuck but its not that sucks to remove basic bluetooth media controller. Hope it helped =)

Stock Gear S (EU version at least) fully work with Hangout. You can answer by canned answer or by Keyboard or by Voice Input You must install also the Wear app even if you have not a Wear Device, (answer API are in Wear app and not on phone app)
Otherwise there are app on store for extended notification wich works for Gear S with not last firmware (from specific operator).
The Gear Notification Extender app in the Play Store let's me use forward and backward and pause controls when I'm listening to Google Play Music from my phone.

Podcast App?

I'm switching to the Note 4 from the iPhone 6 plus and thinking about getting the Gear S because of the Nike Plus app. Are there any podcast apps for this watch? I'm trying to figure out which is the best watch to get with the Note that will also work standalone that will be able to play podcast subscriptions. I currently use the Downcast app for iOS.

[App] Copy Woo Sports app from wear 2.0 watch

Dear XDA Developers community.
What I need is Woo Sport app file copied straigh from smartwach, so I could install app via adb.
I have LG G Watch W100 with android Wear 2.0
Suddenly when I installed wear 2.0 system, Google decided that my device is not suited for this app. App was working pretty good on Wear 1.5
Now I cannot install this app. Instaling woo app from apk file dedicated for smartphones ends with runing smartphone app on smartwach.
Could someone install on their smartphone and next on their smartwatch this app:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ingravity.woo
Hope you can help me
Best Regards Marcin

Purchase Spotify Premium through which you can use Spotify without ads.
Of course in the WEB you may find hacked versions of Spotify Premium, GIYF ...
