Mobile-track for the note 5

[BigB225]

Will mobile-track feature be available on the Samsung note 5

[SunsetRunner · Accepted solution]

There are just a few mobile devices that come with a chip inside (M7/M8) compatible to connect with MobileTrack. Here is the list:

- iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
- iPhone 5s
- HTC One (M8)

Is there any work around, maybe via an extra app, to get it to work on the Note 5?

Hi there @WhyBeTea, welcome aboard to our Community. On Android at the moment there is not a workaround. Since MobileTrack works using the M7/M8 chip to read basic information as @SunsetRunner mentioned before, with Android this is different so there is not an app that can log your steps as it works MobileTrack.

What I can think as an alternative to track your exercise. (I wont call it a workaround since is wont track your steps for the entire day). However on Android there is the option of MobileRun, which use your phone sensors to track your data along with the GPS. The main idea of this feature is to combine the GPS of your mobile device along with the steps of your tracker, to have a complete breakdown for your walk, run or hike exercise.

However not necessarily is require to have a tracker to use this feature. Keep in mind It wont read your daily steps and you wont have access to a total count; but it will read some basic information for a period of time in case you want to track a walk session.

This feature can be found on the mobile app of Fitbit under Track your exercise tile > In the right upper corner you will see a Stopwatch > Once you are here, select Tracking and hit the play button. Once you finished pressed pause and later Finish so this session be logged as an exercise.

At the end you will have a map course, distance, pace, splits, calories burned based on your pace, impact which includes amount of steps and calories burned too and a history of your past walks in a comparison graph.

This is just and idea but I hope it helps.
