Gear Fit2 Calendar/Agenda method? - Samsung Gear Fit

I have an SM-R360 (Gear Fit2, but not pro edition), which I have presently grown out of (I now have the Galaxy Watch). My younger son would like to use it, but he doesn't have a phone yet. (Although he does have an iPad). Right now we have it set up to connect to wifi, but not to any particular phone.
While the activity functionality works fine without a phone, he would also like to view our family calendar on the watch.
Is there any way to have a Gear Fit2 directly sync a calendar in the cloud? Does Samsung have their own cloud calendar infrastructure which could sync to the Fit2 directly over wifi, not via a phone?

Sync Fitness data witch NON Galaxy Phone

Hi,
im trying to install the SHealth app on my Huawei phone, but its not opening...
But the Gear Manager and the Gear Fit (SHealth lite...) app are working, but there is no sync between the watch and the app (Gear Fit)! By the way: i can login to a samsung account!
Is there any way to sync the data????
Hello,
I was wondering if you've found an answer to your question? I am also struggling with finding a way to sync the fitness to my phone.
(Also with my gear fit showing whatsapp messages but that's another story)
With kind regards,
Xander

Help a Noob - Gear Fit Manager won't connect

Gear Fit 2
S7 Edge
Set it all up with the Samsung Gear app. I wanted to add a calendar app to the GF2 but it said I needed "Gear Fit Manager" installed. So I installed from the Samsung App Store but it never connects to the GF2. Says scanning...then no device found. I am connected via Bluetooth and it works fine with the Samsung Gear app just fine.
Any help?

S Health not uploading to Strava any more

I am not sure I am posting in the proper place. I have a Gear Fit S2 that I use daily for workouts. I have used since August without issue. In November, the S Health app has stopped uploading to Strava. Strava says it is not them. Samsung says it is probably an update issue and I should wait a few months to see if it fixes itself. SERIOUSLY? Any help is appreciated. My Polar and Garmin upload to Strava without a problem.
I sync to Strava as well with my last run on Jan 9th successfully importing.
Strava recalcs the data and it never matches S-Health, but I've gotten used to it.
I was having the same problem recently. Thanks to a post on reddit from a year ago, found a solution.
Clear the cache on the S Health app, force stop, then reopen. Sync'd my ride (map, elevation, speed, HR) within 30 seconds from doing that.
I posted this a few weeks ago
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/help/strava-syncing-correctly-t3714420
A quick search for Strava would have found this.
Your original post:
"Have now managed to fix this problem with the following steps:
1. Clear cache for the Samsung Gear Fit app.
2. Clear data.
3. Force stop.
4. Re-pair Gear Fit 2 with the app again.
5. Re-enable GPS on the Gear Fit 2.
This appears to have resolved my issues and I have used it twice since i did this."
This doesn't work for me. Previously, I found that uninstalling the updates in the Samsung HEALTH (not Gear) app would get it speaking to Strava again, but this resets all the app's settings which is very annoying if you use the app a lot like I do. If you're going to try this, don't forget to sync your Samsung data first.
I'm finding that my morning rides are syncing to Strava immediately, but my evening rides, after 5pm (GMT) don't sync until precisely midnight. This makes me thing Strava is restricting Samsung's access to its API somehow.
google/facebook login
In my case I am using a gear S3 with S health.
Have tried the steps above but nothing changed.
Now I changed login method from "use google account" to the regular strava login with mail and password.
Seems to work now!
Had to delete the pairing between strava and s health and pair them again by using the regular login method.
PS: If you dont have a password at strava because you used the google/facebook login:
Logout, click the "regular" login button and try the "forgot password" link with your google/facebook email adress to create one.
Edit: Seems that it works better then with the google login, means the activities are uploaded to strava. Sadly they are sometimes uploaded with great delay, often at the next morning.
How did you unpair s health and strava thanks
How did you unpair s health and strava thanks
I am using the german translation, so maybe the steps are called slightly different in the english app then my suggestions:
Open the s health app on your phone.
Go to settings -> connected services.
Strava should be marked with a green dot.
Click on strava. The pairing should be gone (the dot is grey now).
Maybe there is a security question if you are really sure to unpair...

Strava not syncing correctly

Until a couple of weeks ago my Gear Fit 2 was syncing perfectly using the Samsung Health app. Now though it only records the time of rides and runs and nothing else. Doeas anyone know what is causing this? I have submitted a ticket with Strava, but have yet to get a response.

Transfer sport data between accounts

Hi,
I have a Pace watch. It was paired with Amazfit app in my Galaxy S6 and work great for more than 6 months.
I got a new Mi8 phone. At the beginning, I installed Amazfit app and the sport data appeared (restored from cloud ?).
Afterwards, I unpaired the watch from the S6, did a factory reset to get the QR and paired to Amazfit in the Mi8.
Then, all old sport data disappeared from Amazfit and I see a different account number than the one I see in the S6, where btw I still can see the old sport data. Since then, I avoid to sync data between the watch and Amazfit.
Is there a way to restore the old data to Amazfit app in the Mi8 ? And then add the new data from the watch that hasn't been sync since ?
Thanks a lot
Raul
