SUPPORT DISCUSSIONS

Bluetooth HRM please

Is there any idea on a timeline? It seams as though there should be some idea of if this is going to happen or not.

Ant+ heart rate monitor please, no more searching for GPS when training. (android phone)

I have already moved to garminfit. Unfortunately it does not have training courses, but it has native ant+ support for hrm and footpod. Plus integration with garmin connect.

Hi Guys,

at the moment we don't have any update if or when HRM training with the Android App will be available.

It is not the intention of the moderators to keep all the users in the dark, if and when we have info about this topic we will definitely share it.

As far as we're aware the standing hasn't changed - Android is important but it's not as simple as making a CONNECT for Android and that working with the App.

There are over 150 different Android handsets from many different manufacturers. Only a small number of these are ANT+ compatible.

Some users have asked for Bluetooth compatibility but this would mean a complete change in the miCoach products which are all currently work with ANT+.

We make sure that all this feedback is passed to the developers but beyond that we can influence them and when we hear anything then we pass this back to the forum users.

A result of this is the most recent update of the App which includes the ability to use Strength and Flex workouts directly on the App including viewing the videos of the workout examples.

I hope this sheds some light on the situation for you guys.

Cheers,

Rugby13

Hi Rugby! Thanks for sharing at least something. It started to look like kind of monologue in this forum.

Generaly - It would be great to have some kind of http://getsatisfaction.com/ system so we can be on track what's planned and also on the other hand for you - have the easily viewable system to see what features are mostly demanded by users - by suggesting and voting for them.

I also see your point of kind of problematic implementation of android hrm. BUT - maybe the ANT+ can be just good start. As i think, ANT+ phones are those, which are chosen by active people, which are also you target audience. So what i'm saying is that maybe from the global perspective there are not too many of ant+ phones, but between the active/sporting people the share can be better. AND of course as Mowikan wrote - I'm pretty sad, that endomondo can build it and adidas which is much bigger can't.

I see a lot of marketing pushing the Micoach here in czech rep. and from that perspective - investing just a fraction of the advertisment/marketing budget to the massive and loyal comunity of people, which comes in contact with your brand almost everyday, and in very intimate moments of endorphine rush, i have no idea why you dont have this feature already and kicked endomondo nike+ and endomondo's b... :]]]]]

Thanks Rugby.

All that needs to be done is to add the code that recieves already available hrm bluetooth signal and converts it to bpm as used in micoach.  Please ask your developers for this, it's not very involved.  Most android phones have only bluetooth. 

Please ask your developers for BT HRM code!

Heart rate monitor,would be helpful..Please
