Hi guys,
Just got my new Gwatch R. I cant seem to get a heart rate reading at all. Can anyone else get it to work? I'm trying through "ok google" and "check my heart rate".
Is there a clear cover sticker over the sensor? I can't seem to see one.
I've also noticed that the green light doesnt come on when I try to take a heart rate reading.
I usually say "show me my heart rate"' but just tried check and that worked too.
Do the words you speak appear on the screen?
Try an alternative app for this ... something like: Cardiograph
If it's still not working it probably means you have a defective unit that required replacement. Mine works just fine with both native and 3rd party apps.
are you getting the "tighten band and try again" message? Thats what i'm getting. I got 3 readings then it stopped. Tried power off and reboot.
Thanks for the replies guys, just worked out, I am running a developer version of Lollipop. Confirmed this is the cause, paired with mates N5 and it worked fine. Weird.

It is one of the few things that work when not paired to a phone, so that should make no difference.
Its likely the re pairing that fixed... I noticed issues with mine not working and it was because of an issue talking to the Google Fit app. I re syncronised that watch and boom working again.
I tried repairing, hard resets. None worked. When paired to lollipop it did some kind of firm ware update. I'm pretty sure that's broken it. When hard reset and paired to kk, there was no update applied and it works. I'm now running slimkat and it's working perfectly.
Each time I hard reset and paired with lollipop it applied the system update to the watch.
it happened to my oneplus one android lollipop as well. it just won't work, but i tried with cardiograph and it works.
use with fitness app
i guys,
is it possible to use watch as BT heart rate sensor with any fitness app, such as Wahoo Fitness or Runtastic, as we do with Wahoo/Polar straps, and get continuous HR reading during workout?
My heart rate sensor seems to work just fine and apparently I'm not dead.

Some apps do and others do not. Runtastic does not. I don't know about Wahoo. Endomodo does. Runtastic seems to want to market their own BT heart rate monitors.

I had the same problem a few weeks back .. google fit cannot take my heartbeat but using cardiograph it work ..
turns out the problem is with my phone .. upgrade the Google Play Service and Google Fit works fine ..
so the HW works without having to pair, but the software might need pairing ..

Hi,
Don't know where to post my question... But... The vr apps on my note 3 always lean to the left. So when I'm playing a vr story or a Rollercoaster...at the end I'm always looking left of almost behind me. Tried calibrating the sensors but did not work. Some apps have a calibration option with the cardboard magnet. But yeah it's pretty annoying... Someone knows what this could be? I'm on Android 4.4.2...

This forum is Gear centric, but common issues some are having with non Gear devices are drift and orientation issues. Most apps have a reset for orientation for this reason. Depending on your phone, this could be better or worse. Depends on the sensor design and set-up. This is all I know on the issues since will really be indigenous to your specific phone, VR headset, software and set-up. Too many variables to have a clue here.
You can try putting your phone on a flat surface while the app is on, leave for at least 5-10 sec. If that doesn't work calibrate you gyro/accelerometer sensors in HwModuleTest, dial *#0*# .

I've read about others have this problem with the Urbane 2. Have you tried resetting the watch? I believe this stopped the issue for others in the following thread...... http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=698153

Mines been doing exactly the same since the last update, and not just in theatre mode. I've literally just tried resetting the watch and indeed my phone (it was due for a clean install anyway), but it's too early to say whether it's definitely fixed the issue or not... So far so good, though!
I am facing the same problem for a long time and I've been trying to reset my urbane twice already but it makes no changes
I remember google fit automatically track the heart rate and log it into thr history after update to M1D64X. It can be noticed when I take off the watch and the heart rate sensor light is still on.
After the update to M1D64Y, google fit does not track heart rate by itself anymore. And there is some issue in google fit on demand heart rate monitor. After the heart rate test, it shows the number from previous result but not the result from the test it just did. If I keep doing the test repeatedly without leaving the app, it keep showing the same number. I have to quit the googlenfit and re-enter the app in order to look at the correct test result from the history log.
I tried factory reset, uninstall and reinstall google fit on the phone, clear app data, which all of them do not help.
The only way to make the fit running properly is to uninstall google fit on the phone and use the original fit that come on the watch.
Is it just my watch or it happens generally on LG urbane? Can anyone of you who have Lg urbane with google fit installed test it for me? Thank you.
..
The permission is not introduced by M1D64Y. It is introduced by M1D63 something several months ago. And I already allow everything in permission setting. Even if I do not give it permission, the app will ask me to allow those they need when the app just start.
This issue has been annoyed me for a long time. And I hope it is a software issue and has been waiting for the update of either watch OS or google fit.
Yesterday, there is an update of android wear on the phone ans update of google fit, after I install it yesterday, after about 20 hours, I notice there is a "sync" text on top of the screen when I enter the google fit on the watch. This sync is new and I have never seen it before. I tried the heart rate monitor, and it works now.
But I don't have automatic heart rate tracking in google fit, I don't know it has been removed or not. I am appreciated if anyone could confirm it, thank you.
I've same issue with Google fit, do not start heart rate monitor. It works only with LG pulse.....
Try the latest update of google fit, it fix the issue happen to me. Install the latest version of google fit on the phone, wait 20 mins to 24 hours for the update to be run on the watch.
In my case, the update is implemented on the watch after I take off the watch and let it charge overnight, around 7 hours.
Anyone using it? Strava apparently built a AW2 app. Does it support live heartrate tracking?
I use mine with MapMyRun, but nothing really changed after AW 2.0, I don't think. When I used to complete runs on my watch sometimes it crashed the activity. I didn't think that Strava had free heart rate tracking.

Strava does. When running on my Pixel, it pairs well with my Polar H7 HRM.
Is the watch's heart rate tracker accurate?
When I run, I use a chest sensor connected to the phone with Runtastic app (via BT).
The watch only report informations of the run (time, distance, pace...).
Still not look if the Runtastic app is different since AW2.0
I use it with endomondo - nothing different for AW2 there.
It does lag comparing to AW1.5 and it seems that with "allways on" screen mode doesn't work properly for endomondo anymore - the data shown freezes till you "unlock" your watch...
I have a watch face which can do this - Moto fit digital, but it's made for WatchMaker app

In the app (on your phone) , if you change any of the first 3 options (time, distance, pace) for any other, it will also change for the app in your watch. That's how I use it.
Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the android wear community as I just received my LG Watch Urbane 2nd Edition in the mail yesterday. I was setting it up and messing around with some of its features and I noticed that no matter what app I used (Google Fit, LG Health, Heart Rate OS, etc.), I could not get the heart rate sensor to actually read my heart rate The green light will flash for awhile, but the reading will always return an error. It would suck if I had to return the watch right after receiving it, so I was wondering if there are a few things I should try first. I've already tried a factory reset and that didn't do the trick.
Currently running the official MFD18T build (Android Wear 1.5.0.350911) with Google Play Services 10.2.98, if that helps.
