Start HRM before start tracking OR implement a Pause Button

Hello orux
i have one feature request, which is really important for me.

It is regarding the Polar HRM and connecting the monitor.

Short story:
In many cases, the connection of the HRM is not going well the first time. So i have to disable bluetooth, enable it again, start orux and so on.....
This is not a big problem for me, an can not be solved by you.

But in Austria, atm it is realy cold in the morning (below 0°C) when i start to run.
And sometimes i need a few minutes to connect the Polar -> and until i have a connection i am really cold.

To solve it (and keep me healthy ) , there would be 2 possibilities

1) A button "Start HRM" like the "Start GPS" Button --> independend from the start of the tracking modus or
2) A "Pause" button, where just the tracking stops, but GPS and HRM is still running.

With both possibilities i could connect the HRM in my warm room, and leave the house with the euquipment ready.
Maybe you could think about it.

Hi;

I want to decouple the heart monitor recording from the recording track, but first I have to study it.

Great to hear this, i am looking forward to it....

Hello Orux,

during the last days i tested in detail the "start hrm" - function of the actual beta (thanks for implementing it ).

It has one bug:
- after starting, it runs well
- but if the screen of the phone goes of, the bluetooth connection for the polar is closed, and measuring stopped
- if you the screen turn on again, the phone tries to restart the connection, but in many cases, it does not find the belt.

So, please have a look on it, the connection should be handled the same way as if HRM is recorded, the connection would be much more stable....
