Is there any way to get readings from the heart rate sensor on the back of the phone without the samsung Health app. Does any other apps utilize this feature. As I use google fit so do not have samsung health installed and do not really want 2 apps that do the same thing. So are there any heart rate apps that utilize the sensor on the back of the phone?

Hey has anyone tried this or is it possible? if its easy I think It would be cool to unlock and lock device with the heart rate monitor
on the Note 4 the camera app uses the heart rate monitor to take selfies..so maybe we could borrow from that?
I need it too
Can you create something for Galaxy s5?
Hello friends,
Someone can me suggest an smart watch android wear that has 3 functions together: 1 - heart rate, 2 - blood pressure and 3 - gps? Anybody know some smart watch with these 3 functions?
I want track during fitness my heart rate and blood pressure too, with the gps function i want install a app like runkeeper or strava in the smart watch, and track distance (with maps) together the other functions.
in my research I found only these:
model with heart rate and blood pressure, apparently without gps (in some sites, around of $89):
http://www.thlmobilestore.com/thl-h-one-health-watch.html
With the same functions of heart rate and blood pressure, i found a smart watch called>A9S for just $35, apparently with the same functions of the THL h one.
I see this model interesting No1 D6 for $89. this watch have heart rate and gps but do not have blood pressure measurement.
If the ad about A9S as correct, is the better cost X benefit, but i want the gps too, to track with apps like strava or others...
Because i like run and i dont like carry cellphone, i want run just with a smart watch with these 3 functions.
Someone can say if there is any model with this 3 functions together, to do what i describe above?
Regards
Without a pressure cuff, there's no way it can monitor blood pressure.
Just got my Samsung galaxy s8, the heart rate and SpO2 sensor is quite an amazing feature and Samsung FIT can detect quit a lot of stat. Just wonder, if there any more application using those sensors? I just thinking if we can use those sensor, check every half hour, then it can know my calories in take and consume, and also when I do exercise, and suggest better exercise plan for me?

Interesting, it say it support my old HTC 10 but not Galaxy S8
Can confirm it working on my S8. Got myself a Tickwatch E and works well in that also.
Now I'm looking for some app to use actual SpO2 sensor. Wrote to that developer to see if he / she is willing to upgrade their game, I'd buy it even if it was in app purchase.
Samsung Health is just too heavy on the system and there are better combos out there
My note 4 heart rate and UV sensors stopped working long ago. Even on stock ROM and with SHealth I am unable to use the heart rate/stress/o2 saturation/UV etc functions.
I would like to replace it and preferably myself. What modules should I order and how do I go about this?
Greetings.
In the diagnostics menu *#0*#, you can perform to two tests for the Heart Rate Monitor (HRM), unders sensors.
I was wondering if any other owners get completely screwed up temperature reading on the test where you're supposed to keep your finger on the sensor? It either gives me no reading or a totally random number of up to 4 digits.
Also, my device fails the HRM EOL Test, where from what I understand you're supposed to leave it on a flat surface. Oddly enough it doesn't fail when keep it about a cm away from my palm.
I'd greatly appreciate it if any other S10+ owner (exynos particularly I guess) could give the tests a try and come back with their results.
Thank you very much.
I have both the s10+ U1 (Snapdragon) code didn't work but i downloaded heart rate app from galaxy store and sensor works fine.
I got my s10+ (Exynos) Today and tested the sensor with that code *#0*# and sensor works fine gives me heart rate mine was 76BPM. Maybe your sensor is malfunctioning somehow?
