So I got the vivosmart 4 yesterday (actually planned to get the 3 yet found the 4 already in stock) and there are some issues.
Firstly, I cannot set heart rate monitoring as my home widget. I don't know if this is some archaic remnant of past times where this function
wasn't always on or something but I do not understand why I am not able to set it to show what it is continually monitoring anyway.
I can set (almost) all other apps as my home widget, either directly or by having it stay on the last used widget but not heart rate,
the mobile software even specifically makes mention of this. There is also no watch face available which shower heart rate.
I am a bit dumbfounded why this isn't possible and I dislike using workarounds like starting an activity.
Secondly, I am unable to change / order widgets through the mobile software, it just does not save correctly.
The PC software makes me fare better yet I cannot select music control or phone notifications with it (they are just not in the list).
Thirdly, the calorie tracker on my phone differs from what the device is saying,
when I opened the PC software the programs momentarily synced before returning to a discrepancy of about 10%.
All in all I'm hoping to make good use of my device, which would probably be a bit more enjoyable if the software was more streamlined.
If anyone has any tips I'm all ears!
