I hope someone can suggest some ideas. I've been trying for months to get the alarm notifications to work on either/both my Verizon S3 and my 2012 Nexus 7. I've spent hours and hours for month after month looking at the forums, and have not been able to fix it- I really, really would like to get this to work!
The problem is, I never get alarm reminders for either:
- time to leave/traffic alerts when I have upcoming appointments
- reminders based on location
- reminders based on time
I do not get notifications through either Google Search/Now nor through Google Keep.
I've tried everything I know of in the book- I need an expert to please help me get this working!!! Either I'm doing something really stupid and missing something, I have some setting(s) wrong, or Google Now is somehow broken for me. Sorry for the frustration...
I'm willing to start at the basics (in case I missed something) all the way to the complex. I really could use some advise on getting the alarms to work on Google Now notifications...
I'm running a Verizon S3, with Android 4.1.2 and recently I rooted the phone (the notifications have not worked since before nor after the rooting- I did it for other reasons). I also have rooted my 2012 Nexus 7, with Android 4.3.
IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE A GOOD CHALLENGE... PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello,
I would like to ask if there is a way to enable the notifications tab in the Friend stream on Wildfire? I saw on htc site in the how tos section that the Friend stream does have the notifications tab (the Bell icon), but I don't have it on my Wildfire. Thus I'm curious if there is a way to somehow enable it?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi, i was looking for that too but so far i didnt find the answer i guess this option is available on new fs so for now on i advice to check e-mail notification @fb site then when something is goin on @fb u will get e-mail push notification.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
Ok thanks for the confirmation - now at least I know that I didn't break anything ;-)
Anyone have a solution to this? I am hoping for this too!
It does appear friend stream has been updated in newer phones. I bet/hope roms (I use Magnolia 1.3.2) will bake this newer app into the framework. It will make it very easy!
Hello guys,
So, i just bought a Samsung Gear S for my HTC One, and yes i know this is not 100% fully working, but i'll get a Samsung Alpha in few months.
Well, i followed your tutoriels and guides, and nothing went as planned.
The most embarassing thing is that i can't acces the Samsung Gear Store : is this a normal thing ? Or did i just mess up somewhere ?
Surprinsingly, S Voice function works 100%. I can't control my music tho. And the phone calls works very fine.
So, do you guys have any idea how i could fix this store issue ? Cause i would like to install something like Opera Mini or some other apps.
Thank you for reading, and sorry for my poor english
You need a Samsung phone that you can pair with the Gear s in order access the Samsung app store to install apps on the watch.
Best to find a friend with a compatible phone , pair it with theirs, then add whatever apps you want.
Or go to an electronics store that has compatible phones on display and pair your watch with one of them if you can.

I have an HTC M8 too and tried the workaround. This caused various issues and a few things didn't work post install of the Gear Mgr. I wanted something better and needed access to the gear store. And the last thing I wanted was be forced to buy and use a Samsung phone.
This isn't for everybody, but here's my fix...
I just bought a cheapo Samsung Gear S compatible phone off eBay and turned it into a notification relay point. You can get one for as little as ~$70:
Plug in it, connect to Wi-Fi, download Gear Mgr, clone the apps/email (from HTC) you want Notifs from, and set it up to remotely send the chosen app's notifications. For your HTC's texts, there are a handful of SMS forwarding apps on Play that work great. One app allows for you to reply with the native mobile # just as if it came from your HTC. Last step, set your watch to be standalone.
Everything works, including S-voice.
Thanks a lot guys ! A friend of mine has à Galaxy Note 2, i think it will be fine !
I'll keep you in touch if anyone wants to know what happened next !

Could you explain this a bit more, please?
I have someone who would love to get the Gear S but is a hard core iPhone user. I guess he could get a cheapo Galaxy phone, connect it to Wifi at home, but I don't understand the clone part, and how the cheapo gets the HTC notifications.
Guessing it may not work at all with an iPhone, but still interested in understanding the process.
Samsung could have really tapped that market by releasing a Gear Manager app on the Apple app store, and advertised a bit more.
No one knows what's on my wrist, but once explained, a lot of people would be potential customers if only the friggin Galaxy phone wasn't a prerequisite.

What you need to do is basically put the same apps on the relay device as your daily driver. Sign in to each app and then go to the Gear Mgr and make sure that app has a check mark.
As far as email. Use the stock Samsung email app and/or GMail . Enter all of your account info and, again, make sure the Gear Mgr is set.
So basically, all your doing is taking a dummy S compatible phone and creating a clone of your phone's app and email configuration.
Not sure if the iStore has an app that will forward your texts...but, hopefully, they should. If not, Google voice is another way to go.

Hello everyone
(Forgive my bad English, I do not speak and I translated with Google traslate)
I want to thank in advance all help and this great forum.
My problem with my Samsung Gear S is that for weeks I added new applications that got here from another forum and ran without problem, were about ten.
Then last week looking for an application I added a few more. Neither the first nor the second all added, had always complained that any certificate or something but for me were expendable and was not a problem.
But I discovered that this last time I've seen that have disappeared watch two applications, one of the Weather and over the alarm clock (in Spanish we call clock to wake up) and I need them.
I've tried different firmware and update reappear after these two applications but only a few minutes because when I look back no longer are.
I tried resetting to factory and all the applications that I added but not deleted appear the two I lost.
I have searched pro internet and asked in many places but no one answers or no one knows why wonder where you have deep knowledge if someone could tell me where I can find these two applications or recover or if someone tells me how to extract a room or me You can send, I will be very grateful.
My other problem is that you buy the watch legally but internet and did not know it was necessary to have a Samsung mobile so that it can use, my phone is Huawei Ascend P6 (U06) so I had to find the way to install your Gera Manager to initiate Gear S, I got it and I could synchronize almost everything but heat or can I use the market to Samsung, or I can download apps from google market for Samsung so neither synchronizes my S Healt but the biggest problem is that I can not access download these two aplicacioens in case they were (I do not know but I think not because I think they are based, said stock?).
I even consulting Samsung but was told there was no other way to use the clock to install applications that access having a Samsung mobile and installed the clock via mobile ... step commented that they refer also to take Healt S records of mobile to the computer and told me that they could not done through synchronization with the application in the mobile ...
Total I'm handcuffed, please help
Thank you

I encountered this problem too in last few days. There are three applications disappeared: weather, alarm, and e-mail. And I have no idea what happened. Maybe it's the setting of the firmware?

True, to put applications if I remember correctly you have to give it root and install another version of firmware, this has made many people per ocreo that many did not use those applications and therefore not hechan missing. Auna I updated latest version appeared three applications but only a few minutes, it seems as if other applications or the system itself remove them for something, see if someone helps us, while I put it and yours is the first participation thanks for teaching that does not happen only to me, Greetings
Sorry, I'm new to XDA so I wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this. Anyway, I picked up a Galaxy Gear (original) because I don't have 350 dollars for an Apple Watch or 175 for a Moto X. Anyway, after about 4 hours I finally got it updated to Tizen and then rooted it with TizenRom3.0 or something. Long story short, I need a rom that is compatible with Tizen that can get me full Bluetooth enabled Internet access. I looked into the null 13 stuff but that has been gone forever and I don't know of any other roms that support Tizen except for TizenMod. What I wanna be able to do is get texts, tweets, and Facebook notifications from my iPhone on my gear. The calls I already got down. I know I have to set up CloudSend or something on my iPhone for the notifications but I'd need a BT Internet enabled Tizen compatible gear rom first. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance!
When I call my girlfriend/friends I like to read the news and search things up as we talk. As you can imagine, I prefer using VOICE SEARCH as opposed to TYPING.
Well what do you know... ANDROID made it where if I'm on a phone call, I cannot use my VOICE SEARCH feature. I was always able to do this on my Samsung S8+. I bought a OnePlus 7T and now I am not able to do this.
I was about to return my phone for that reason but when I went to the Verizon store and tested out the new SAMSUNG S20 ULTRA, it's the same thing. It seems the "geniuses" at Google disabled this feature for whatever reason. Please tell me there is a way around this.
I have already deleted and disabled Google Chrome and Google Search widget because I can't watch videos while I'm on a phone call. I've confirmed this is the case with all the recent Android phones out. I found a fix around that though: FIREFOX and FIREFOX SEARCH WIDGET.
I'm losing my mind I am starting to hate Android more and more they keep making our lives more difficult. Please help me before I switch to an Apple device!
My phone info:
OnePlus 7T (model HD1905)

Oxygen OS 10.0.9.HD65AA

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

On my note 8 I used to have a problem that irritated me. From time to time google assistant will pop up when I am using speaker phone..
Sometimes it's bixby..
It is very irritating. Then the problem just vanished. Wasn't really paying attention so im not sure which update removed it.
But to me it's nice that it's removed.
You might want to check if siri will work while on the phone before switching camps.

Thank you for the response.
It has nothing to do with the voice search app. it seems when I am on a phone call my microphone is disabled for any type of voice input other than talking on the phone call. It doesn't matter what the app is. This wasn't the case on my Galaxy s8 plus and I have confirmed that this is the case for the new Galaxy s20 as well.
