pedometer problem on gear 2

Hello,

I found strange issue on Gear 2 watch.I am not sure if its device general case or api case. I started make api that uses pedometer device api notification. I found that pedometer counter does not refresh smoothly/flowing. Example: I’m doing 1,2…20 steps, pedometer counts 0 steps. Then by 20..25 steps counts smoothly (one after one – starting correctly from 20), stops and refreshes again for example after 50 steps – continues correctly from 50. Is it normal? I thougt thats api case/problem, but it seems that other preinstalled (for example Pedometer app) apps work similarly, that means: pedometer counter refreshes from time to time (cycle break in counting 20-30 seconds). This behavior is the same in case background state and foreground (it does not matter).

I didn’t found this problem on gear 2 emulator, the pedometer notification is one by one step – smoothly, without “refresh breaks”.

Maybe this issue is some “energy saving” action on gear 2 watch? Or maybe something wrong with my device?

Kindly request for your opinion
