[Q] Samsung Gear S compatibility - Samsung Gear S

Hi guys,
I'm planing to buy an smart watch to help me in my long bike trips.
I need you're help with some info because I need an smart watch that can run my bike apps fully independent of smartphone.
More exactly, can you please tell me if Samsung Gears S can run fully independent any of these apps: Endomondo, Stavra, Runtastic bike?
I need it to be able to track me by GPS and or mobile network and to map my ride and tell me the basics (distance, time etc)
Thanks a lot guys!

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 .
Endomondo

[Q] Mirror iOS display on smart watch

I currently have an iPhone 5 and a rooted Motoactv fitness watch. I saw an ad for a device that mirrors your iOS screen onto a watch thats powered by android. However, the watch does not have a release date. The watch is called "Starfish." I was wondering if they're are any android applications that will mirror my iPhone's display on them and perhaps use touch input to control them? My iPhone is jailbroken so installing an app on my iPhone side is ok. I've considered something like VNC but when I'm out and about it needs to maintain a connection between the phone and the watch. Bluetooth perhaps? Just wondering if this could be done or if anyone is willing to work on it? I do not know anything about developing but I have a lot of good ideas.

Spotify app?

What I would like to have is a nice Spotify app for the Gear Fit.
The media manager doesnt show which song is playing etc. It works for the songs played from the media player on the phone ofc but not as well with Spotify.
What i would like to be able to do:
Chose Playlist
Add songs to favourites / other playlists
See an icon with the artist like on spotify (maybe as background for the app/clock while music is playing?)
(Being able to search for music maybe isnt needed , it would be to bothersome, better pick up the phone)
Also i have a qustion about the built in memory in the Gear Fit , would it be possible to create an app which would make it possible to use the watch as a standalone medie device? like if youre going to work and dont want to bring your phone with you.
Ex: Download a spotify playlist and play it from the watch directly to bluetooth speakers or something
The real question would be how much memory the Gear Fit has , and if we can access it.
Best Regards / Christoffer
P.S If you are experienced in programming these apps, please be so kind a send me a mail , would like to learn how to make my own apps for this watch and maybe could be of help if needed Do have earlier programming experience, third year computer science engineer.

How Inzanley great it would be if someone made a stand-alone for Tizen. Anyone have any news on this?
Any progress on this?

This is fairly much the only thing that i feel is missing from my gear fit. I would be willing to help out if you need or send you some cash to help finish it.

Top 10 Gear Fit 2 Faces?

Can anyone with a Gear Fit 2 list the top 10 most popular faces right now? I think the Gear App Store shows this correct? I don't own a Gear Fit 2 yet, so I can't access the Gear App to take a look. Anyone kind enough to list what they are? Thank you!
I use free watchfaces to need simple time and date and special faces to have extra functions.
For example:
1. I go mountains and use Altimeter and Barometer. It shows altitude very accurate.
2. I like control my phone and have access to phone's camera remotely so I use Phone Remote Watch.
3. Need calendar sometimes I installed Calendar Fit.
4. Need access to files, transfer pictures, music, ringtones, video and even texts from phone to Fit2 I have installed Filesmaster Watch.
It plays all media files and can open bigger text files . Extreamly usefull watchface.
Actually, you need a few watchfaces to do more then only track the time. I got about 20 watchfaces now

Are those the top 4 most popular on the Gear App right now? Doesn't the Gear App show a list of most popular? Sorry I should have said Paid watch faces.

Questions on Stratos

I am planning to purchase the Stratos. But I still have some questions.
I want the watch mostly for tracking my gym workouts and bicycle rides. But I did not find a gym or bootcamp sports program. How can I track this?
There is all the workout data stored? Is there a website or do I have the history in the app? How much workout history can be stored on the watch itself? Is google fit sync working?
Whats the thickness and diameter? Is it possible to sleep with?
I hope this is the right forum, thanks in advance!
