A few S-Health items have been bugging me. Putting them out there in case there's a solution to any of them:
1) Step count on watch never coincides with step count on phone (Galaxy S9+). I tend to run in the morning. I get up, slap my watch on, get prepped, then hit the pavement. The phone is never touched. After returning I see that my run has synced with the phone with correct distance and time but often a large disparity in step count (phone always higher yet is never moved). Both measured in S-Health. As best I can tell, my S-Health profile is the same between devices in terms of height and weight. What's the deal?
2) Elevation is not tracked during run. When reviewing my runs in S-Health on the phone, the elevation tab is grayed out. I have to think that run elevation can easily be tracked by GPS (as with my old Garmin) not altimeter. Yet my route is clearly plotted on the map but no elevation details are available other than a beginning and ending values. Very peculiar. Does anyone get a plot of elevation changes?
3) I like to run while listening to Spotify and sometimes use the verbal notifications on the watch that report distance, time, and pace every mile. After a voice notification occurs, the music control focus is taken off of Spotify and placed onto the watch's music player. I skip to the next song via the controls on my bluetooth headset and Spotify stops and the watch's player starts. My work-arounds are either to disable all voice notifications or to set the double-home press to open Spotify then try to remember to execute that after every voice notification so I retain Spotify skip functionality from my headset without worrying about where the watch's focus is. Not terrible but not ideal.
