[Question] Pokemon Go affecting S Health step counter
Whenever I have Pokemon Go open my S Health on my Samsung Galaxy S5 stops counting steps. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? If I close out of Pokemon Go and look at my steps I can see it counting up normally, but as soon as I reopen PoGo and walk to hatch eggs it just stops. My km walked goes up on PoGo as normal but when I close and check on my steps it is exactly where it was before. Even after walking several kms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love having an app that tracks my steps and also any other workouts I do, but not at the expense of hatching eggs

Same problem. I also got an S5. I very much enjoyed seeing the real distance i covered in s health after pokemon sessions. The problem of s health not working anymore with pogo exist for probably a month or more for me already. I was sad when i deactivated it, but it send me a message that i had reached 50% of my daily goal when i already was out for 2.5hr constant walking :D
Thanks for your response mate. Seems like it's a problem for everyone then because I noticed it stopped working about a month ago as well. Real bummer because my bro and I challenge each other using S Health and it's either win the steps or hatch pokemon
