How To Get My Galaxy S8 To Count Floors

I purchased this to replace my fitbit blaze and old asus zw2 which is dying and wanted 1 device to cover both of their functionality.

How to get my galaxy s8 to count floors.

So maybe the galaxy watch wants a walking start so to say before registering a floor. Still learning how to use all the functionality. The device actually has a special section in its menus labeled as the sim card status where you can find a couple of relevant information the phone number included. I have a galaxy watch 42mm with a manufacture date of 12 31 2018.

Bluetooth connection is stable even with ambient radio frequency interferences. Now both your watch and phone will be synced and their total will appear in samsung health. Choose all steps as your step count source. Just got my gear fit2 pro last week.

Tap the step tracker tap more options the three vertical dots and then tap view your step count data. I just got the galaxy watch yesterday black friday and immediately noticed the floor count is useless. I have a 2 story house and it registered 1 floor all day. Available only for certain accessories made by samsung.

Supported galaxy and non galaxy devices require android 6 0 marshmallow or later. Connect two bluetooth devices to the galaxy s8 or s8 to play audio through the two devices simultaneously. Some watch faces count the floors occasionally but not all the time. The two connected devices may exhibit a slight difference in sound output.

Supported devices also require a minimum of 1 5gb of storage. 0ne issue is its not counting correct number of floors i just tried walking stairs by holding my hand low at the bottom then rising my hand high at the top then walked down in the same way but it still did not count. Tablets and some mobile devices may not be supported. I hope i made sense.

I also question the step count. I wish that was the case for us galaxy watch users but at least you can try what i did and see if it registers floors for you. Some functions may not be available based on regions service providers devices. It has the latest update to the os.

For those who use a samsung galaxy s8 or galaxy s8 plus the instructions are more than simple.
