Other functions during an activity or broadcasting HR

looigi 5 days ago

Please correct me if I'm wrong. It seems I can't do other functions (e.g. ECG) during an activity or when broadcasting HR without stopping and saving/discard the activity or stopping broadcasting. In the case of an activity, it must be stopped and saved/discarded. Pausing won't work.

Also, if I view something, like the HR screen, WX, etc., the watch will revert to the watch face after a minute or so without prompting. Is there way to prevent this?

Hey I just played around with this. Yes you can broadcast and do another thing by swiping from left or pressing back and starting another app like a timer. You can also broadcast during an activity before you start by swiping up, settings, and broadcast. With an activity in progress you can hold the back button to get to settings as well. I added broadcast to the controls menu (holding top button) for simplicity. ECG is configured as an activity and two can't run together. If you're doing a run, let's say, and want to open another app like timer or something you can set up the middle shortcut to open the app list.

Hey, thanks. I've got try experimenting with this while I'm not riding (har!). I see that if I do an ECG it kills HR broadcasting and any activity, or won't do it until that activity is stopped and saved. When an activity is running, I can't access the Activities/Apps menus. So, as you suggest, maybe add whatever function I might want to a Shortcut or something. I'll play with it.
