[Q] App that can use the heart rate sensor - but not S Health ?

I want to remove the S Health app, but still to be able to monitor the heart rate.
Is there any third party app that can use the S5 sensor?

Plenty of apps that use the camera lens if you don't mind finger prints on lens. Why do you want to remove S health?

i wonder if the apps that use the camera flash are as accurate?

I would like to know this also. I looked at s-health. I don't want to monitor my activity, but I would like to have an app that just reads heart rate.

You can use the hardware module test. Access it by dialing *#0*#. Then go to sensors, then start under HRM sensor. It's not pretty but it works.

Thanks for the reply. Definitely not elegant. I hope someone comes out with a simple heart rate monitor app so we don't have to choose between the hardware module test and s health. Samsung is like a junkie except they are addicted to bloat not smack.

here had the same problem, just returned after reset wipe

On the main page...?

Is it in the drawer at the left?
It's very odd. I updated it as well and it didn't dissapear from the main screen.

The stress sensor is missing from the Canadian s5 v3.2.0.003 as well. You're not alone

The stress sensor is missing from the South African version as well....maybe Samsung reckons we don't stress enough...

did you try to re-download from GALAXY essential?
It work for me

Cm12

Why would anyone want to run CM and loose Fingerprint scanner and Heart rate those are jey signature features of the phone can anyone add them to the S5 CM12

Because maybe not all bought the phone because of those features.
They wont be integrated into CM, they can't.

Because I don't use those features. The only reason I'm still on Omega is because it's easier to pair with my Gear.

You can still use the heart rate sensor just have to use a third party app like Runtastic...

Fingerprint reader is not working on any cm12 based ROMS; you'll need to use one of the samsung based roms if you wanna use the fingerprint reader.

Does this still apply anymore? CM12.1 has been receiving fingerprint updates recently .

I have been wondering about the same thing. But i think they are just experimenting and testing to be prepared for the release of "Android M". And i hope someone can implement it.

They are missing because of no driver source released by Samsung.

I currently have it, but was wondering if anyone else has it? Works pretty good but would like to possibly install more apps IF POSSIBLE or have a good app that works on my note 4 to push notifications.... hopefully someone can help me out!

Hi ryvandal, I have been thinking about this watches. Do you recomend them? What about battery life and heart rate monitor? Is it reliable? Thanks for answer.

Overall its okay. It LOOKS good though, the major downfall of it is the battery unfortunately
The watch battery is fine PAIRED with a phone, battery would last days paired with the phone, but it would die within about 6-8 hours if the SENSOR is on (sensor means when you look at the watch it'll turn on and show you the time)
So I have the sensor "off" and I press the button to see the time... works for me.... Other then that, its pretty decent.... There are no other apps you can get for it though so dont be shocked when all you have are the 4 faces for the watch.

Thanks for quick reply. And what about heart rate sensor accuracy and sport activity tracking functionality?
