Any Pedometer app for android to count steps while I am walking without Phone on Bluetooth?
-
Hi, I use Bluetooth when my family is not at home to call or chat over the Phone, but I don't always count steps when I am doing it, is there any App on my smart Phone to count steps when I am walking in home with Bluetooth head-phones on and my smart Phone is placed on a table or something? Anybody please help me? I don't want to carry my Phone always when I am walking in my Home. It would be a great help if somebody can suggest me. Thanks in advance friends.

Even though this isn't the place for questions, nor is your question very relevant to coding, the answer is that your bluetooth headset doesn't have an accelerometer in it, and is incapable of counting your steps because of that. So sorry, you would need to keep your phone on you.

Unless you have a Jawbone Era[^]. You would have to look for any software through Jawbone, which is going out of business[^]?

Unless your headset has a pedometer then there isn't an app out there which will magically add the functionality. Be weary of any app which claims the contrary. In theory, if your headset has GPS built in, an app could measure change but I wouldn't trust it for step counts given GPS accuracy. So it is either carry your phone or start wearing a fitbit/similar then syncing it with your phone.

I agree with you partially but if the signals of Phone can go and come from Headset using Bluetooth as we can forward to next song, we can receive call or cancel call while listening Music why can't it just calculate steps if there is any movement in a person or headset. Just think about it, it would be a great idea if someone can do it. I am not looking for exact calculation to have GPS in it, just number of steps and depending upon that calculation of distance, as many other cheap Pedometer Phone apps do within the Phone when Phone was moving. Just saying as I am a Darwins believer so let me explain in his way :), the whole science is born for Human to keep his hands free, from the beginning of the History when Human made his first water bottle using Ostrich Egg. To keep his hands free while carrying Water so that he can act if any other animals attack him or focus on other things while carrying sufficient water for him, for that time that was biggest innovation.

Because neither the phone nor the headset have enough information to calculate steps if the headset doesn't have an accelerometer in it. The only information the phone might have is bluetooth signal strength. Assuming a perfectly non-directional antenna, you could walk around the phone in perfect circles for a day and the signal strength wouldn't change except for battery considerations. The phone wouldn't see you 'move.'

Most pedometer apps, even cheap ones, utilize the accelerometer built into phones to calculate motion. Most headsets don't have an accelerometer to get information from, some of the newer fitness oriented ones aside.

In theory you could use the Bluetooth signal strength to calculate distance of a device from the phone but that would be very dependent on the environment. It would be a very rough guess at best.

You do get what Bluetooth is right? Its a simple (well relatively), radio transmission and receive standard.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
