Sync S-Health with MyFitnessPal!

Can you explain how this works? I've installed the HealthMate app and synced it with S Health. However, on MyFitnessPal, the Withings brand app they offer to pair is The Withings Pulse and The Withings Wi-Fi Scale. As of right now, MyFitnessPal still isn't tracking my steps.

Any suggestions?

Hi! Maybe we can help each other through this - I'm having the opposite problem! I can't link Withings and S Health, on neither side can I find the other.

Could you walk me through how you managed it? And I'll detail the Withings/MyFitnessPal pairing for you.

To start off, the Withing app I had just downloaded to make this work is "Withing Health Mate" at https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...tails?id=com.withings.wiscale2&token=0G8n8dLP

I need to go look at the app for what I did then I'll post more.

The default screen for Withings is the Dashboard. In the top left corner, to the left of "Dashboard," I open up the menu by clicKing on the three horizontal lines icon. I then choose the Profile option, and then Partner Apps. That takes me to a page with four partner apps. I easily connected mfp this way. I took screnshots, but I don't see an option to upload here.

As for my end, in the S Health app I know I have Withings and another app selected (green play button on them in the list), but nothing has been synced since I did that about three days ago.

Main question I guess for me to you first is is your Withings showing your steps tracking? If yes, then how did you manage?

You can use PACER app. It is pedometer app and tracks your steps. You can integrate it with myfitnesspal very easily.

 

[SNS127]

In the withings app, after setting up the profile as you described, the time line screen asked if I wanted to track my activity. I proceeded with that dialog, and it eventually asked me whether to track via s-health or something else. I chose s-health, and then it was linked! Hope this helps.

Do your steps show up on my fitnesspal? because its only giving me calorie credits but doesn't show my steps.. ugh! i need something that syncs with virgin pulse

 

[sikorskib]

I linked the three, but steps only show up in withings not my fitness pal.
Did you get the steps into my fitness pal?

 

[pkguy323]

I need to follow-up and say my experience has been "less-than" when I attempted to sync them all through. Steps don't match up between the S-Health and the Withings, thus the MFP app gets bad information. Until S-Health and the S2 watch integrate directly with MFP, I'm going to set this aside and stick with my FitBit Blaze sync to MFP.

I was able to make this work. I just got the Gear Fit2 and I am able to sync the steps from Fit2 > S-Health > Withings > MFP. I just installed the Withings app and connected it to S-Health and MFP just like mentioned by others in this thread and it works. It does not appear to sync automatically though. I have noticed that I have to open Withings sometimes to get the steps to sync over from S-Health.

FYI: here are some instructions that sum it all up

I do not provide any guarantees that this will work for everyone. It is currently working for me on my Galaxy Note 4.

1. Install Withings Health Mate and create an account - https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...id=com.withings.wiscale2&hl=en&token=Nkoai_4y

2. When you log in for the first time you will see the "Start tracking your activity" banner in the Timeline

3. Click on that banner and on the next page click on "Activate Now"

4. You will then see a prompt that has "Google Fitness API" and "S-Health API". Choose "S-Health API"

5. On the next screen you should see that S Health On is already turned ON. You need to turn Step count to ON and then click DONE

6. On the next screen you should see that Steps tracking is activated, now click DONE\

7. On the final screen you can set your step goal and click SAVE

8. The next step is to go into the Withings menu and click on Profile. Once in your profile, click on Partner apps and then connect Withings to MFP.

9. The final step is to open MFP, go to the Menu, click on Steps and then choose "The Withings WiFi Scale" as your device.


Now you will see steps appear in MFP under the "Calories Remaining" section of the homepage and also in your Diary.

I have noticed some issues with this setup. Sometimes the steps do not sync without opening the Withings app and the MFP app. Sometimes the Withings app reports some strange step counts. At least this gets the steps into MFP.

I also know that someone else created an app to get Fitbit data into S-Health and they have future plans to get S-Health data into Fitbit. So this could be another future solution since Fitbit syncs nicely with MFP. https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...com.jsonlo.fitandhealthy&hl=en&token=sdQKyLVN

Of course, the best thing would be if MFP and Samsung would work together.

I hope this helps.

This guide was super helpful! Unfortunatly I am still struggling to get them synced the run I did today went from Shealth to Withings, but for some reason MFP does not seem to be grabbing it from Withings.

Hoping that it will just work with my run tomorrow, for something that's supposed to make life easier this gear fit 2 is making it a lot harder to keep track of my fitness!

Thanks for this! For the first time I am able to get my steps to sync with my fitness pal!

I don't know if this has been patched? But it doesn't seem to work anymore.

 

[bermudamartin]

I struggled for a while, but I finally found a simple solution!
Withings HelathApp did not work for me so I deleted it and kind of gave up on syncing with myfitnesspal. Then I downloaded the Strava App to connect with some of my "runner" friends. When I connected Strava with my S Health...VIOLA! All of a sudden my S-Health data is syncing with my myfitnesspal!!!!
I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but it was easy and it has been working for over a month and I could not be happier!

 

[bkrell]

So Strava connects to S Health?

 

[Tom Griffin]

I have been able to get steps into MFP but for some reason Virgin Pulse will not sync with MFP. I've made sure that MFP is my only connected device on Virgin Pulse website but it still will not take steps from MFP. Any ideas?

 

[GPilot750]

So Strava connects to S Health?

Yes, and in turn your Strava account links to MFP. Works flawlessly.

Hi. This was very useful, as I am setting up withings on my phone - also using S health with Gear fit 2.

Question: after pairing Withings and S health - is it possible to show registered weight from Withings over on S health?

Thanks,
