problems with Pear Training Intelligence System after update

[nanas9]

I bought the pear training intelligence system (basically a heart rate monitor with feedback through your headset) after confirming that it would work with the note 3. As soon as I got my n3 (stock 4.3 unrooted), I tested it, and it connected right away. :victory: Next step was of course to update to kitkat and root, which went perfectly smooth. Now the heart rate monitor won't connect any more. It actually doesn't even show up in the bluetooth available device list.

Based on the Pear training app saying 4.3, I'm assuming it is probably just not compatible with kitkat, but is it possible that there is some sort of workaround to make it work? Or that it is something to do with it being rooted?

Has anybody been able to use the Pear heartrate monitor on a rooted kitkat note 3? Alternatively, does anyone have recommendations on a heartrate monitor that does work for this phone?

Thanks.

Somebody else had kk blue tooth problems, he did a factory reset and most of it was fixed.

I actually went back to stock unrooted, still didn't work.

Rooted again, SACS kitkat v1, still didn't work.

Installed the xposed fitbit sync module. which did allow my fitbit to connect :victory:, so I hoped it would also fix whatever was going wrong with the Pear app bluetooth sync. Still didn't work.

Re-installed S-Health from the apk & the heart rate monitor suddenly started showing up in my bluetooth settings again, which it hadn't done since it was stock unooted 4.3 & it finally worked! Hopefully it continues to work properly.

It doesn't make any sense to me, so I still don't know exactly what happened, why it stopped working, or why it started working again. Hopefully this gives someone else a little direction if they encounter the same issues.
