I have the new S5 Galaxy phone. Will this monitor work without uploading another app and work with the SHealth software that comes on the phone?

There is absolutely no reason to purchase this HR monitor if you are not planning to use the PEAR app. In fact.... there is no reason whatsoever to purchase this HR monitor, no matter what app you use. I recommend going with the Scosche RHYTHM+ or Mio Link. They are much better quality, more reliable HR monitors. They are bluetooth and work with a number of Android apps (including PEAR!), and they use a much more reliable optical technology. The PEAR HR monitor is just cheap hardware, plain and simple. And since the PEAR app can be used with other, better HR monitors, I'd stay away. I returned my PEAR HR monitor, and if you read the reviews carefully, several others have as well. Hope that helps. PS... the PEAR app on Android is pretty buggy. My brother uses it on iPhone and says it is solid. Having said that, PEAR is a great concept but the app is buggy and the hardware is cheap.

Hi, just to be clear this is not a tablet it is only a touch screen monitor and I do believe if you have the app. For those types of programs it is pissible. I have used similar apps for my monitor

The monitor itself will work if u don't have wifi but you shouldn't be buying this model if your house doesn't have wifi. If ur scoring from a friend and don't need wifi then it will be fine. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure which connection the S5 has. I have the S4. Sorry, wish I could be more help.

Short answer?: DependsIf your phone supports BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), then yes. The latest Galaxy phones (S4, S5) support this. As of my last checking, the app shows for only certain phones in the store. I had to trick it to get it on my S5, but it *does* work for the S5 fine. I've used it on Android 4.3 and 4.4.As for pairing, if you're trying to pair it with the bluetooth, don't bother. It'll reject communication every time. It has to pair with the application itself, so you launch Polar Flow, login, and it'll look for the Loop (wake it up by touching the button). This is counter to what I'm used to (pairing with the phone's bluetooth and then launching the app). Short answer?: DependsIf your phone supports BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), then yes.

I use android, but not that, that matters... I tried to use the app once and it was confusing getting it all set us on the software side... as well as the monitor has to be connected to a computer that stays on line at all times for it to work. Long story short, the aggravation was not worth using the app.

This device didn't work with my galaxy s3, I recently got a galaxy s5, and again doesn't work, the only reason I purchased this device was for the mirror link function, and it has never worked since I've owned it, ive kept it for a little bit now hoping they would make the galaxys work, but unfortunately this hasn't happened and im leaning toward purchasing another device, I would not recommend buying this device, because it has done nothing but disappoint.

I do not think it actually syncs with anything. I always just had to key mine into my own logger manually. Just went and read it, and nothing says it syncs with anything. On another Note, i bought the Withings Scale after a year with this one, and it syncs, but it still does not sync with Samsung health either. If i was to make another purchase, i would base the purchase on what works with myfitnesspal, since it just got bought by underarmor, and i doubt samsung health will be relavant much longer unless they really work on their network of supported vendors. (i love samsung, but nothing syncs with them, no scales, no heart rate monitors, the calorie tracker is difficult to use, etc).

Yes, I use Endomondo App on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 and my latest OnePlus One phone. I turn on the bluetooth and connects to this HR Monitor. I've used it on my workouts and very happy with it. I'm thinking it'll be the same with Wahoo Fitness app.

It doesn´t work on my S5 either. What a bummer! One of the annoying things of having Samsung smartphones is the customers must struggle a lot if they´d need any kind of help or buy acessories. In that way Apple is zillion times ahead.

I bought it work with a Galaxy S5 and I can't get it to work with my Galaxy S5, either. Still waiting for a response from Veho. Failing to get that, I'll return it.

I don't have a Samsung Galaxy S5 available, nor do any of my close friends have one.My only other working phone is an old Motorola Razr.

It works a android based cell phone. So by default it takes you to mobile but you can browse via desktop mode. Idk about live streaming . Basicallly if your s4 can do it so can this device.

I have a Galaxy S5 and it works well. I had to download the app for it and install that and now it works as I expected.
