    • Yes, in the dashboard, tap the daily report for steps. Then you can switch to sweltering weekly or monthly report.

  • S health does not differentiate calories and kilocalories. Example 1 green papaya salad =203 calories = 0.2 kcal. There is no option to type 0.2

  • Has S Health updated their app as I've been trying to look for it on my note 3. It was there this morning as it was calculating my steps and when I went back to check the progress after 6pm it was gone. Can anyone help?

  • I have setup my S health with a password. Unfortunately, i forgot my password and couldn't open it any more. How can I retrieve or reset it?

    • I don't think you can retrieve it. You probably have to reset the app (clear cache and clear app data). But this will erase the app data on the phone.

      If you already sync data with your Samsung account, it is not an issue. You can always sync again after resetting the app.

  • The podometer has the same figures that one week ago: 2,999,698 steps (1,373.3 miles). There are still 35,928,879 users and my ranking position is 58622°. In the people of my age (60-69 years) there are 902,078 users and my position is 2405°. However, in the past week I walked another 114,309 steps since Monday, August 10 to today, August 17 at 21:17 hs central time. Why it is not updated???

    • Do you mean the lead board feature? It's actually broken in many regions. It was removed from the latest S Health app already.

      • Thank you for your promt response. But I really need that benchmarking to measure my work among all of the users.

  • I try to update S Health past 3.5 but I am told my phone is incompatible. I'm running a Note 3 with Android 5.0.

    Is there a way to update to 4.5?

    • S Health is still attached to each firmware build. It's not a standalone app yet. You cannot choose the version.

  • Update sucks. Why do the app devs remove parts of the app that work well like weight loss and other types of exercise like dancing and swimming? So they can still it as an add on? They shouldn't fix something that doesn't need fixing.

  • my steps stopped counting so I thought if I uninstalled and then reinstall it would work on my NOTE 3. Now it tells me the app is not compatible with my device how can I get the app back on my phone?

    • You probably need update Google play services and some Samsung services. Where did you install the app? Did you manually flush the rom of the phone?

      When the step counter stops updating, you can manually restart the pedometer in S Health app. It's not necessary to reinstall.

  • Hello, I've been using S Health for quite sometime and loved it much. I wanted to know the Pedometer and Exercise calories counted is it the Net or Gross calories burned. Is the calories recorded in the Pedometer and Exercise accurate according to our weight.

    • Not sure. I guess it is gross. It should be based on your weight.

      But, I suspect the accuracy. Normally, you need heart rate to get accurate calories burned.

  • I just started using the app. and everytime i go in to the app i have to login. is there a way to bypass this.

  • Hi, S Health won't even open anymore. Checked app manager there is an app called S Sensor that is disabled. I can't get it to remain enabled therefore my guess it operates the bridge between the watch app and the phone. Rebooted it, removed battery nothing seems to work.

  • So disappointed that I can no longer manually enter my workout on the eliptical machine. Can seem to get the cycling exercise tracker working properly either.

    • You can reboot the phone to see whether it helps. If not, you can stop the pedometer in the S Health app, after a min, then start it.

  • Ok, I don't know if this will work for everyone, but my problem is already fixed. I was going through my upgrades in google play store, and saw this things called ANT radio service, and ANT + plug is service, I never knew what those stuff are for, but I read it is a background sort of advanced allien bluetooth thingy, and that it helps apps like the s health and similars work, it also helps your cellphone connect with your gadgets such as the galaxy gear and similars. Anyway, I upgraded it and then tried with the galaxy apps and tried AGAIN with the s health (with little hope) and it worked!!! I don't know if it has something to do, but, give it a shot. ☺

  • My S Health has not been working since yesterday 15 February, 2015. I have been utilising this app for a fairly long time. Until it promted me to update the S Health latest version on last Saturday dtd 14 February, 2015. Since I have updated the S Health last Saturday, it did not function as a pedometer and exercise tracker any more.Can you advice me how to rectify this matter ASAP.

  • Same problem here: S Health update gives error "Product Does Not Exist In Store (4002)" Phone Factory reset done but still no go (Note 3 & Gear Fit SM-R350)

  • I wanted to open my s health today, and it says it needs an actualization, I tryed and it says "the product does not exist on this store (4002)" help!

    • Can you install any other apps on Galaxy apps? It can also be a temporal server problem. You may try again later.

  • still no news about error 4002?
    so dissapointing non of the apps is working propperly in samsung... especially the gear
    has no new apps and updates....

    • You can check whether you can install other apps from Galaxy Apps.

      If you constantly hey the error, you may visit local Samsung service centre.

      Of course, you can also try to clear cache and clear data for Galaxy apps.

      As the last resort, you can try to backup your phone and do a factory reset.

  • Error

    Product does not exist in this store. (4002)

    i am trying to sync my watch data to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and all i get is the above error code.

    Specifically my "walking mate" pedometer tracking.

    This needs to be fixed very annoying that my gadgets stopped working properly. Like the rest of the Samsung customers I did pay a good amount to have it not work they way it's supposed to.

  • Using s health on note 3 brilliant. Updated now nothing. Main screen is locked. The arrow wheel spins to update info from gear 2. Again nothing happens. Have reset everything. This app is crap, frustrating. Forcing me to another app. Just like music hub. I lost all of my paid for music. Maybe I should sue.

  • Anyone else getting "Unlock S Health" notifications constantly? It's getting to the point I'm going to remove the application completely. I get at least 6 per day. I've even turned off notifications on the S Health app.

    • Not sure. But if you don't want to use S Health, you can clear cache and clear data to reset it.

      The notification probably is related to S Health services that require update.

  • I put the update through on my Note 3. And Now I get an error message that says "Health Service app needs to be updated. Tap okay to proceed or cancel to close the application." I push okay, it attempts to take me to a new screen (Im assuming Samsung app store) but I then get a new error that says: "Product does not exist in this store (4002)." I loved using this! What happened and how do I fix it?!?

  • good post - useful info - thanks. Two questions:
    1) Can I have multiple profiles (people in my family, etc.)? It seems you can only have 1 person at a time, and if I let someone else use the heart monitor the info will be tracked under my name which will mess up my stats
    2) Can you access S Health anywhere on the web? It'd be nice to see this stuff in the cloud and play with it there as well as on my phone.

    Cheers!
    Corey

    • You can only have one profile. In Lollipop update, you can have multiple users and each have own app space.

      S health doesn't have web companion. There is no web access of your data although Samsung does backup your data to the server if you have a Samsung account. Runkeeper and many other fitness tracking apps do have web access.

  • This update has ruined my evening. I'm going to switch back to mapmyrun. Why do companies keep changing things that work perfectly fine???

    • You cannot rollback. If you have to, you have to check with local Samsung service centre.

      What's the error message? You can try to reset the app at settings - application manager - all - s health. Tap clear cache and tap clear data.

  • Trying to enter, update, change food entries; in short nightmare. Just disabled app, will use a calculator.

  • I love using "Walking Mate" and have been doing so for 1 month. Then one morning I wake up and the walking counter is not working or stuck and it is not counting any of my activity. What could cause this? Could it be from dropping the phone, or do I have a "setting" I need to adjust? Looking for help and thank you.

  • Set goal does not appear in the walking mate men, I'm using SH-V25 ver 2.5.4.160 on note 3

  • when in weight I can't see an andriod menu button on the left on arrow to move from day to day. The main menu , weight log and linked scales (top right) then bottom left graphical representation. Nothing about resetting goals. Or adjusting the calories intake as i would like to set that myself. Any thoughts
