Jose solved my problem:

, if you have a device with Wear OS 4, you have to go to the device settings > BAttery and device care > Battery > Sleeping apps. Then long press OruxMaps, and remove it from sleeping apps. If not, the app can not work in background.

Most of the time I use the watch to show my heartrate on the Oruxmaps diplay of my phone.
That worked fine with the former beta version - even when the watch screen was dark.
Unfortunately with the new version the heartrate is updated on the phone screen  only when the watch screen is on.
Is that intended or is there a workaround?

It is great to have a WearOS of Oruxmaps for the watch.
So far it seams to work a bit differently to the former beta version?
But Im still testing it on my galaxy watch6.

Thanks, but your suggestion did not help.
It worked for years but suddenly doesnt for me and my friend.
May be Jose can confirm that it still works in general?

For some time now livetracking to mapmytracks doesnt work for me and a frind.
Is that a known problem?
As a mapmytracks plus user it still works with the mapmytracks app.
Any suggestions?

oruxsos:
good idea.
If hurt one might not be able to activate sos on the watch.
So far it works quite well.
I will activate it on my lonely bike rides.

I suppose it is impossible to optain the heartrate from the watch (gw4) to the beta version?

My hope now is Jose, because no one else seems to be interessted in that topic.
First I start Oruxmaps on my phone.
Then I start Oruxmaps on my watch.
For some seconds the indicated heartrate on both watch and phone are ok.
But then the heartrate displayed on oruxmaps freezes on both devices.
But on the clockface of the watch the heartrate is still displayed correct.
Any solution?
Uli

I am still not sure what causes the freezing heartrate indication.
But I noticed that the heartrate even on the oruxmaps app freezes although the indication on the clock face is still ok.
Does that mean it is a watch problem?

I am not sure, but my impression is, that heartrate from gw4 isnt displayed on the phone since I use version 9.0.0,  propperly.
I start orux on the watch, for a short time I see the heartrate on the phone, but then the value freezes.

I use a GW4 too and like to see the heartrate on my phone.
But I am still not sure what to start first.
How do you start a track?
First watch or first phone?

 One little glitch:
when I start in portait mode, most of the time, the heart rate does not show up on the dashboard,
when I turn then to landscape mode the heartr rate is there.
Going back to portrait mode the heartrate will be there too.
Not a big problem but just to let you know
Uli
p.s. I use S21+ 5G now

I use the wear version on the watch 4 no for some days without a problem.
The heartrate indication on the phone is shown very stabil.
On the watch Orumaps
works only in connection with the phone .
Most important parameters are indicated on the watch too.
On the map of the watch (google maps ?) I see only my current position but no track.
Is it right so far what I noticed?
Uli

Thank you very much,
if I get it right, I have to start recording from oruxmaps on the watch.
The watch will start oruxmaps gp on the phone and there I can activate additional  parameters like aprs and
mapmytracks?

I am delighted to see the heart rate now.
Uli

Is there still hope that there will be an oruxmaps version for the galaxy watch 4?
So far the watch4 is a setback for me with regard to showing the heartrate on my phone.
May be I have to give it a try with adb.
