ANT+ compatibility, and more about the ANT+ communication protocol, check out ANT+'s page, ANT+ In Phones and Tablets.Note: This is not a complete list of Android devices that support ANT+.

If, in the future, you require the ability to connect to services and devices via ANT+, just enable the service again. NOTE: Since this is a factory installed service, it may enable/re-download if you reset and/or update your phone. Don’t panic! Just follow the instructions to disable it again. Does this service track me without my knowledge?No. The ANT Radio Service and ANT+ Plugins Service applications provide a wireless connectivity service, similar to Bluetooth or WiFi, but with very low power. These services do not collect any personal data.Is it difficult to develop an app with ANT+ capabilities and is there a fee?Using the ANT+ plugins in your app to communicate with ANT+ devices is quick, easy, free and uses a simple API.
