Having trouble syncing gear 2 steps to s health

I programmed the gear to sync data every 3 hours, but it doesnt work. Even if i press "sync now" it doesnt take the data from the watch. It seems as if the phone and watch each calculate my steps in their own way and never talk to each other... Anybody know why? Honestly, I'd stop the phone from counting my steps because its inacurate as it sits on a counter for most of the day, the watch is always on me so i know i can trust its data.

It does not sync with s-heath, at least the original version on your note, instead you should download Fitness with Gear app from Samsung store. Everything will be fine.

What note? I have an S5

I just found the source of my problem. In the step counter on S-Health, i had to touch the 3 dots and select data from device for the phone to use my gears data.

What version of S Health does the new S5 have as it seems older phones like the Note 3 are currently limited to an older version that doesn't have the same level of integration with the new Gear 2 devices?

Here's the one on my Note 3

Look on the forum, the s5 apk is avalable for sideloading
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

i work for samsung. again if you have other phones including the note 3 they work great with fitness with gear and sync perfect. if you side load s-health and the health services app you will have trouble with both apps. s-health works with kitkat only properly as it was explained to me. if you have side loaded s-health and health services delete them and use fitness for gear as they have almost the same function and it works perfect on my note 3 and has most of if not all of the functionality of s-health

Samsung dude you need to suggest a web or pc interface where the data is useful and importable to other apps

i agree totally

Still bugs in Fitness With Gear app: can't change Miles to Kilometers on Pedometer screen and Last Update time on that screen is listed in UTC rather than local time. Also, no data is reported on Sleep Monitor screen for hourly reporting.

I'm not sure fitness app works with s5, i dont see it in playstore, samsung apps, and i even tried to sideload it but the install fails

Bloat Ware

anyone could post a pic of how much bloatware can be removed and also how much is installed? anyon disabled any or removed any? If so with what app? Mine will be here tomorrow

I used package disabler pro and was able to block everything i wanted (about 35 apps right now). I disabled the system updates first. Then the Verizon stuff. Then the traditional bloat. Then the samsung and google unwanted apps.
I used to disable apps to get better battery life, but i'm not sure it matters much on this device, as i can easily go 2 days in a poor service area. Since it's poor service, i only get about 4 hours of OST in those 2 days, but i'm sure i could get 6 in a single day.

A few I've disabled on all my phones.

Do you difference between package disabler and bk package disabler ?
@quangtran1 did you also use package disabler?

For some reason that I haven't really cared to look into, Package Disabler Pro didn't work on this phone. It have the message "For Samsung phones, please use BK Disabler".

What are those ANT apps for? I see you disabled both Chrome and the stock browers, which browser are you using? Thanks
Sent from my SM-T800 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

ANT (supposedly a universal method) allows developers to connect, monitor, and control ANT devices. These are wireless hardware such as health and fitness devices. However, even when disabled, I have no issue with my smart watches and any other NFC/Bluetooth gadget. As far as the browser, I use Adblock Browser, simply to reduce social footprint. I personally do not have a moral or ethical position against Google collecting my data; however, I was getting tired of junk e-mail. The Adblock Browser is clean, fast, and it blocks cookies and tracking codes.

Thank you very much for your reply. Now I have more stuff I can safely disable. Adblock sounds nice. I use Chrome. I have a love hate thing with it. I like that I can sync all of my computers and portable devices settings like bookmarks, etc. But it is a heavy handed resource hog.

Package disabler for LG

Hi does anyone know or have used the app in Playstore Package disabler for LGmobile? It looks like the one for Samsung galaxy s devices.

The samsung one exploits a feature in Knox. LG doesn't have something like Knox so I doubt it. Probably disables apps you can disable anyways.

I tried that app on the g5 and it didn't work so I doubt it will work on the G6

it works on my V20 and no,i couldnt disable all of services anyway !?!?!

I have this app on my G6. I got it because I the Samsung version worked well on my stock S6. You have to install a "LG Service" plug in app to make this app work. Similar plug-in required for Samsung Nougat devices. It wasn't required for MM and earlier Android versions. I was able to disable the T-Mobile app on my G6 with this. You can't disable the T-Mobile app through the setting>app menu.

I haven't tried this yet. But was reading through and to answer your question, Web View doesn't technically exist in Nougat. Its a placeholder because it's more integrated. There's also a toggle for webview settings in Developer Options.

Sweet. I read in the other thread you were going to make a video.
Edit - I saw you turned off a few things like answerme, and messaging, and also added telephony...do you have a list of apps you installed to compensate what you disabled?

Yes, i said I'd make a video but never got to it so I did it really fast this morning.
I didn't add telephony.
I disable LG Calendar, LG Keyboard & LG Clock. I use Google Calendar, clock, & GBoard to compensate.
AnswerMe i believe is gesture answering and crap like flip to ignore/silence calls. Don't need it.
In my opinion, pretty much all the, "smart" crap LG gives their devices is worthless.
I keep the home installed (with app drawer) but I don't use it. I use the Oreo Pixel Launcher or Nova Prime.
Some of the apps I'd disabled in that video you can actually uninstall, such as T-MOBILE TV, T-MOBILE ID, ETC.
I also disable Duo because I use hangouts.
Honestly.. i here's photo of my daily driver....

To get this to work you have to set lg service as admin and then run the lg service app.. It will close immediately, but that will activate it. Now you can open up the disabler app and disable packages.

Disabled Bixby

I am a Google Assistant user and absolutely hate Bixby, especially that damn button! So I figured out a way to totally disable it, including the button.
1. Download Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store
2. Open it up and do a search for "Bixby"
3. Put a check mark in every box that has the word "Bixby" in it.
4. Reboot phone.
5. No more Bixby and it deactivates the button.

Then why would you suggest this approach? This is way too risky for me. At least with Package Disabler Pro you can always re-enable things if you need to.

Maybe do a Google search for Samsung/Oreo bloatware. There is also an option in the app to disable all bloatware, but that's too general for me.

Some may consider the app Package Disabler Pro "bloat" when you can use ADB to remove/disable items that you know w/certainty you will not use/need.
I'm not in that camp,but,others may be,or,just don't want to cough up the cost of the app.
I definitely plan on using Package Disabler Pro,for the very reason you stated,ease of re-enabling w/o a factory reset.

If the Bixby button is a problem. You can remap it to use Google Assistant with bxActions. Worked for me on my SGS8+
Skickat från min SM-G955F via Tapatalk

Not with Note 9. Bxaction is still sorting through Bixby 2.0. I remapped it as my back button. It works, but its buggy.
Trying Bixby see what it has to offer.

If you're rooted, you can remap the button. Already done with mine and it works perfectly.
This; https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-remap-bixby-button-o-app-t3601061
Then you can use Button Remapper, and it will pick up the key.
