I have tested the polar wearlink+ and it does NOT work with my device and Oruxmaps. Oruxmaps tries to reconnect the polar in a endless loop without success even if the polar is already paierd in the android blutooth settings.
With other apps (google my tracks, locus) the polar works without problems.
My equipment:
Sony Xperia Go (ST27i)
Android 4.1.2
Kernel Version 3.0.8+
OruxMaps 5.5.14
Polar wearlink+ blutooth 2.0
Update: With my Nexus 7 and Android 4.4.2 the polar wearlink with BT2.0 works fine with OruxMaps 5.5.14.
Unfortunately I have now a small waterproof smartphone which is ideal for outdoor activities but cannot connect to the polar and a tablet which can connect to the polar but is not suitable for outdoor activities
Is there a change that in a future orux release the polar works together with Android 4.1.2 ? Or is that a special Sony problem? I wonder that google my tracks works fine on the xperia.
