Does Vivofit sync well with Android based phones?

I have a Droid Razr Maxx HD (2 years old) running on Kit Kat (4.4.2) and it has worked great.

My wife and I just bought a pair to help us with our diets. Both devices synced easily with our Galaxy X5 Android phones (latest Lollipop operating system). It syncs with the Garmon Connect app (which we downloaded and installed). It also syncs completely with the "MyFitnessPal" app on our phones and as we walk it translates the number of steps taken into additional calories permitted to be added each day. (I really like this feature). We had no problems in getting it to sync with our phones.

Yes, it's compatible with Android, but be certain to download digifit (icardio). I've had some/few problems, but it was on my part. Remember to keep it charged and it works best directly on skin and not over a sleeve. Find the best spot on your arm so that it properly reads your heart rate, otherwise the reading will be off. Ex. Heart rate read 65bpm, after adjusting it read 168bpm. So position matter. Hope this helped.

That would depend on what OS version of android you have installed in your device. This scale only works with older OS versions and I returned the one I bought for that reason. Most android devices get their OS automatically upgraded, this means that even if it works for you now what would happen to the sync later when you get an upgrade. I would not purchase it unless you can get some clear answers to these questions directly from the manufacturer.

It doesn't look like "Garmin Connect" App is on the Amazon App store, but technically if your kindle has bluetooth connectivity, all you need to find is an activity tracking app that allows for a variety of devices including the vivofit. I typically use the connect app with my iphone, but also have another app called "ConnectStats" and then there's always the "MyFitnessPal" App which also allows pairing. You'll have to see what Amazon offers in the way of activity tracking apps.

It connects fine to my Garmin Edge 800, I can't imagine it wouldn't work with the Vivofit.

No and you can only sync with it thru the usb Bluetooth if you have an android

Ant+ model...?!!! It is just a simple heart rate monitor. I have no idea what a Vivofit is, what it does, or would it work with this heart rate monitor. Maybe the manufacturer can shed some light on the subject. Happy Trails.

I don't see why it wouldn't. This should be enable you to connect your vivofit to your computer. The vivofit came with a usb ant+ adapter, unless you lost it or bought used. Hope this helps enjoy.

Supposedly yes, BUT I tried to sync it with the Fitness Pal and was unsuccessful. Not sure about the iPhone app.

They just released a new version of the Android app that will work with the RFLKT. Your phone still has to have Bluetooth 4.0 such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 etc. The setup with android feels very much beta to me. It took a while and no small amount of fiddling with the apps to get the latest firmware. However once I got everything to work, it has been smooth sailing. Rock solid on rides. No connectivity issues as mentioned in some of the reviews. I put my phone in my back pocket and never give it a second thought.

Yes it does sync via computer; it does not require smartphone usage. The Vivofit includes an ANT stick (mini flash drive) which you'll plug into computer. Once you download the Garmin software, you can use your computer to sync to your computer.

Don't know about Fitness Pal. It works with Withings Health Mate which seems to be a decent app although I am unsatisfied with the device itself due to its inaccuarcy in measuring distance.

As the others answered, however you will need a computer or smart phone to see your sleep activity. (Keeps running record and presents this in the form of a graph). Also remember that what the display on the Vivofit shows is for the current time only. You will need a computer or smart phone to track all activity over time.

I used a Samsung SGH-A437. It took me 2 days trying to synch the phone with Nuvi and just now it finally paired. I realised both the phone and the unit would be paired faster if they are fully charged or both connected to AC charger! Then I found out "No data available. note: not all phones support this feature." Now I don't know if I should return it!! I bought the GPS for bluetooth usage!!!!

This means that the Garmin Vivofit will not automatically connect ( or bluetooth ) to your phone. You have to first have the Garmin app on your phone, activate the app, then hold down the button on your vivofit until the word "SYNC" appears. Only then will your Vivofit communitcate with your smart phone. The whole process is barely 30 seconds.

It does sync with a smartphone that has Bluetooth 4.0 or a computer. Not sure what a fitness pal is, good luck! I love my fit bit zip!!!

the Garmin Vivofit comes with its own app. I have not tried to sync it with the Fitbit app.
