I have a golf GPS app for my watch. I want it to stay on that app when I turn my watch to view it. Is that possible?
I use hole19 and it stays active
Hole19
Yes Hole19 stays active. I did find that i had to keep my phone on my body instead of in the cart to keep the connection via BT working

I listen to Pandora in my car via bluetooth every time I go somewhere. It's slightly annoying to have to launch the app every time. I'm wondering if there's an app out there that will automatically launch a program when my phone is paired with a specific device (like the Pioneer deck in my car).
I'd like my music to start up automatically when I start my car.
Anyone know of anything?
Thanks!
Locale+Locale Bluetooth Plug-in might solve this issue for you. I'm not allowed to post links but make a search for it on play.google.com.
Instead of Locale, I'd use Tasker. Locale is kind of outdated, and Tasker is less expensive (iirc) and has more support - from both the developer and the community. I never found a real need for the app so I don't know much about it. There is a 7 day trial available on the Tasker website, use that to decide if it can do what you'd like. There may already be a configuration on the website to do what you want to do, so search through those as well.

Check out YouBlue
I developed YouBlue for this purpose. It can auto start a variety of music apps on Bluetooth connect, but that's not all. It's a service, so it listens for events like wifi connect/disconnect, Bluetooth connect/disconnect in an attempt to turn your bluetooth adaptor on or off as needed. The algorithm is completely customizable in the settings.
Best of all, it's free. Search for it on the play store or amazon app store. YouBlue - Smart Bluetooth Auto
When I drive away from home in the morning, my phone never leaves my pocket. It detects loss of wifi connection, turns on Bluetooth to see if my car is in range, then once connected, starts pandora.
Bluetooth connect & Play
I would suggest the following application which is custom built for your use case.
As a new user I can't post a direct link to it, but you can find it in the google Play store.

does youblue have the option to open different apps for different devices?

I am looking for something that will turn on different apps for different devices. I use one app at home on bluetooth speakers and a different one when connected to stereo in the car. Does youblue do this?
I like to run with the gear s (without my note 4) using the nike app to track my distance. I also like to listen to milk music while jogging using bt head phones. It seems that I can either stream music, or use the Nike app to track distance, but not both at the same time. Is that true, or am I doing something wrong? The Nike app works with music that is loaded on the watch.
I went running this morning, and it was the first time for me to stream Milk music. I used the S Health ap as I like it better than the Nike ap.
Either way, my run was cut short by my Gear S battery dying. The watch was fresh off the charger, and I only got about an hour of streaming Milk, S Health with gps, bluetooth headset for sound, and wifi was on for about half of the run.
I had to turn off wifi because when I ran by the house it would interrupt the streaming music as it connected to my home network.
Either way. Take some serious time to tame your Milk playlist on your phone, or you will be running to a LOT of B side songs.
Ampm325--I thought the S health app only used a pedometer to measure distance, which is why I want to use the Nike running app. I thought the Nike app is the only way you can track distance using gps in the stand alone mode on the Gear S. I agree streaming music and using gps is hard on the battery. Sure would be nice to do both though at the same time--maybe just bring along the charger/battery adapter..
I went running yesterday using the gear s health app for running. I thought it only used a pedometer to measure distance. I was wrong. You can use the gps to track distance, and it also logs your heart rate at the same time and I was able to stream Milk music to my bt head phones while jogging. Pretty cool--a watch that is a smart phone, a gps tracker, a heart rate monitor, and streams music!
Yep! but altitude does not register on gps for S Health. I run hills, and like the gps map on nike better.

I still wonder if there is a reason the milk music streaming app stops the Nike running app?
I think Milk music is the problem. Besides you can maybe run 5 miles streaming Milk music, it's a battery hog. Samsung needs to perfect the offline music milk to work on gear

I got this watch over the Neo mainly because the curve fits my wrist better. I did not put it on my cell plan since I'm never anywhere with the watch that I don't also have my phone. My question is on the data feed. Is there a setting to force the watch to use WiFi where available or does it always default to Bluetooth first? Thx!
You can just turn bluetooth off in the watch settings. The only problem is that you'll have to remember to turn it back on when you're not on WiFi. The watch will always use bluetooth over WiFi when connected to your phone, there's no option that I know of to force WiFi over bluetooth without turning bluetooth off.
Greetings. Over the holiday season, I received a Fossil Gen 5 Smartwatch. One issue I am encountering is with GPS functionality when the watch is not connected to WIFI or connected to the phone via BLUETOOTH. This happens for example when I go out on a run.
My current procedure entails turning WIFI and BLUETOOTH on the Fossil watch off, and placing the watch outside while I wait for the Google Fit app to acquire a GPS signal. This typically takes 3-5 minutes. Then, once the GPS signal is acquired, it tends to toggle back and forth between "GPS Acquired" and "Acquiring GPS". This intermittent GPS connectivity tends to cause some very unusual map generation at the end of the activity, and I also call into question the distance measurement of the app. Is it switching over to the pedometer method of counting steps when the watch does not have GPS connectivity?
Has anyone else experienced issues with GPS connectivity with their Fossil Gen 5 Smartwatch? Has anyone been able to improve GPS performance?
Smartwatches are the new cool gadget in the market; it lets you carry your world on your wrist!

Yes I am having problems. I use Strava for running and cycling. It tracks my rides fine, but I think that's because I have my phone with me. When I go for a run without my phone Strava hasn't recorded one correctly. I have started using Nike Run Club for runs because of this and it seems to be OK, so I am not sure if it is a Strava issue or not.
Sometimes using the Nike app it has the right distance but segments are not showing on the map when I've finished so maybe it isn't. Didn't have any problems when using my Huawei Watch 2.
