Heart rate display on android phone

[Scottishstar]

I would like to sync the live heart rate tracker to my android mobile phone (or my kindle). Is there an app to do this? I tried Cardiogram but its not showing any heart rate data.

Its so I can see it in real time in front of me without having to keep turning my wrist. I have a charge 3. Thanks

Go to the Charge 3 Settings on the App and click on Advanced Settings and turn "Transparent Live Tile" On.

Thanks for the reply, I've gone to settings and Advanced settings but can't see anything about tiles.

I use a computer and it is as I described.  I had assumed phones had the same. Maybe someone else who uses a phone can help.

@Scottishstar, is the version of the app on your kindle 2.63?

Is it getting the usual information from your charge 3 when you sync with it?

I use a kindle sometimes with a charge 2.

Thanks I've now found and turned on the Tiles but I am not seeing a live heart that changes as the fitbit itself does when I look at it. I see graphs and charts..? I'd just like to be able to view a real-time heart rate number on a screen..

Cardio gram is now syncing but only updating about every 10 or 15min which isn't what i ma looking for. 

I can't seem to get the bluetooth on my kindle to connect to my fitbit tho I've downloaded the app.

Hi @Scottishstar, with the kindle when you're turning on the Bluetooth make sure that your fitbit is out of range of your phone or turn of your phones Bluetooth. This may help the kindle find your fitbit. 

The synching can be a little tetchy but mine usually holds once it's done.

You need to make sure that notifications is set to receive calls on the kindle. Then hopefully on the heart tile the image will pulse with your current heart rate showing. You may need to open the tile then close it to kick start the animation for some reason. 

Sing out if you are still having problems.

Many thanks, I've finally got it now on my laptop. Would also prefer to see it on my android phone.

Yes helps to turn phone off but Kindle now having trouble pairing with Charge 3 on Bluetooth, it only found it once and then disappeared, I will keep trying. Thanks.

I've now got the Bluetooth syncing and I can see The heart rate tile but it's currently just got resting heart rate in it,it doesn't give me a live reading. I've tried turning on various notifications.I'm not sure what you mean by a 'fall's notification? I'm on a kindle fire 5th genersation.

Many thanks

[Scottishstar]

Than ks, it's syncing now and I can see the tile but only giving me resting heart rate ,not a live one. I've tired turning in various notifications on kindle, I'm not sure what a 'call' notification is?

thanks for all help

Seasons greetings @Scottishstar. 

Once your kindle is synched select the image of your fitbit. On the next screen underneath the sync section is a bit headed "general". The first option is notifications. Select that.

Then you should be on a page headed notifications. The first choice should be for phone calls. If it is off, turn it on. 

Your kindle should then resync.

Hopefully when you return to the dashboard you should see your heart pulsing.

Now, if you find calls is switched to on already use the 3 dots in the top right hand corner to disable them. Let the kindle resync. Then turn them back on. Again, let it resynch. That should do the job.

Whatever mobile device you are synching with it looks like you have to have receive calls enabled for the heartbeat to be seen.

Again,  good luck.

Yeah thank you,finally found my way into the right options. Great 👍

@Scottishstar, glad to be of help.

I only found this out with a lot of trial and error on my own. By the way if you turn off your Bluetooth you will probably have to do this dance again but at least you know the steps now.

If you think it is worth it can you give the previous post a "best answer" then it will be easier for anyone else to find if they need it. 

Cheers.
