Watch 5 pro - When using the Samsung health app to track walking, running the app keeps pausing the exercise

[Neil75]

When using the Samsung health app to track walking, running the app keeps pausing the exercise so I don't get to track a full run/walk.  I've turned off auto pause but it still does it.  Any idea's on how to resolve?

I have turned off all the Auto detection as well..

As you are using 5 pro, is your blood O2 sensor /measuring working?

I returned mine, as it was not working

[Neil75]

Thanks. Yes the sensor seems to work for sleep tracking and blood oxygen levels.
It's just seems to be when trying to track exercise it will pause. But I don't know until I look and by then it's to late. 🤬

Thanks friend, the one I returned today, couldn't even get sleep O2
I tried manually to measure, didn't work
Reset the watch didn't work, so returned

The same happens to me. have you managed to solve it?

[Neil75]

Only way I resolved the issue was to rake the phone with me. It seems that when I left my phone to rely on the phone it lost GPS. Try doing your run with and without the phone to see of that resolves for you.

But I don't want to carry the phone. I'll go to Samsung technical service to see if they have a solution. Thank you

Did you ever get an answer? I get the impression that Samsung doesn't really care. And, I empathize with you. I bought the LTE version so I didn't have to carry my bulky S23 Ultra when I run.
