Sort of.
I bought my gear fit yesterday and messaging notification, including 3rd party apps, like whatsapp, work. I need to install Google calendar to get calendar notifications. All you need to do is download gear fit manager apk and pair. I can also use the media controller to skip tracks and control volume.
The watch can sense your wrist motion, and screen will switch on when you raise and turn your wrist to your face. Screen is super nice. Built is plastic but don't feel cheap at all. You can change wall paper. There are different home screens that allow you to customize to show the time together wirh different information, such as next calendar activity (which I use), or pedometer data, or weather.... Etc.
S health doesn't work. But I used to use pebble, and can say gear fit is much better as it can show emotions, , or whatever they are called. I can still use the heartbeat sensor, pedometers, exercise measures, but data just can't be sync to phone without s health.
Since Samsung released the sdk, I am hopeful that the exercise data will be supported by 3rd party apps eventually.
Let me know if you have any question. Oh yeah, the control is smooth, and based on my experience, the battery should last around 4 days.

Are you sure weather can work on lg g2
Yes, except all the health functions. The other thing is though you need to install the latest gear fit manager with the gear fit being updated with the latest firmware. You can do that if you have another Samsung gs4 or 5.... If not, then go to your local electronic store to connect your gear fit too update firmware. Then disconnect it and leave.
I am still using both g2 and gear fit.

I just downloaded this game to play against my wife (she's got an Iphone), because there aren't many cross-platform head-to-head games.
Problem is, my wife gets immediate notification when its her turn, I get none; zero.
For those of you familiar with IOS, their phones have a notification hub under general settings where they can manage all their installed apps' notifications. In other words, they don't have to go into an individual app and manage notifications on the "micro-level", whereas with Android, micro-level app notification is our only built-in option.
Well, this began to annoy me because while IOS doesn't hold many competitive advantages over Android anymore, this is one functional item that I frankly felt blew Android out of the water.
However, I found the app called "Iphone Notifications" on the market (Google Play now, I guess) which essentially serves the same function as the IOS notification hub. I tested this app on some basic apps where I get notifications regularly to make sure it works (SMS, Gmail, etc), and sure enough, it worked perfectly.
The moment of truth though was setting it to work with "Draw Something" which I then did, and unfortunately, nothing; no notification. I went into the app itself (Draw Something), checked again for any settings to be changed, but the in-app notification setting was already turned "on".
Does anyone know if I'm doing anything wrong here or if there are work arounds??
Please advise as it annoys me to have to check the actual app itself to see when its my turn to play, but it annoys me even more to think that IOS still functions more reliably than Android at a level so basic as this....
Thanks in advance-
Ryan
It has nothing to do with iOS functioning better.. the app is poorly written for Android. Games by zynga are cross platform and they let you choose your notification interval but Draw Something has never given me a notification either. It also crashes a lot.. three stars on the market for a reason

From what I can tell there is no notification option in the app itself...hopefully in a update.

Right, but the "Iphone Notification" app should alert me in the app's place, shouldn't it? I mean that's the only reason I downloaded the notification app to begin with.
After all, iOS apps all notify you on an Iphone through the notification hub, regardless of the individual app's native notification settings.
I am guessing then that there are API's or something similar that iOS has with apps that push-notifies the user which Android may not have (with all apps).
In any case, this sucks out loud because now I have to admit to my wife that there's still something iOS does better than Android, even if it's a small issue and even if the issue is primarily in this particular app, because even if the app is not up to speed yet, and even if it doesn't have much if any of its own notification settings, it still push notifies on iOS but not Android.
I realized you can't use the back key to go back once you're in a game with someone. Fun game but it feels like they rushed a bit too much.

I just switched from an iPhone 4. I HATED the iOS Facebook app; Android's is far, far better IMHO. On iOS I would only occasionally get a push notification about posts, and never for incoming messages. So far on Android, I'm getting a notification every time I receive a message. Not sure about posts, I haven't had any yet.
The other problem I had with the iOS Facebook app is the data was always old. Especially with picture comments. Even manually refreshing still showed the old messages, and none of the new ones. I'd have to wait a couple days before it would finally show up. I haven't had any such problem on my Note so far, everything seems to be perfectly synced with the website.
EDIT: Oh, and the only notification I've ever gotten with Draw Something is when the other person guesses my drawing - it plays a sound. No visual notification. It was that way before I made the phone switch as well. It's quite frustrating, I'm always having people text me "MAKE YOUR MOVE!"
EDIT 2: Yup, I'm receiving notifications for Facebook posts and comments as well. In fact I get them only a fraction of a second after it appears on my desktop. Soo much better than what I was used to on iOS...
Install noled and use that to monitor whatever apps you want. Its pretty handy

Yeah it works fantastically for me, although I usually have to calibrate the pen before I play a round.
Back to OP.
If the app has no notification feature on Android, what does the IOS Notification app have to grab to give a notification? I would not think that the app can just create a notification for an app that does not have this function.
I wrote the Dev and asked for this feature to be added to the Android App. I suggest everyone else do the same.
I DO agree with you 100% that this is annoying as all hell though.

Home I will have it airplane mode, and turn on alarm clock. I know I have a few more things I want it to do for each but I have to give it more thought.

They are Samsung branded nfc tags. After further research I should have bought them elsewhere. But, I used a 50% off code so still not a bad deal. I have set up one for home by my door that turns Bluetooth off, wifi on when I get home... One for the car that does the opposite of the home one and launches Google Music. I also used Tasker to keep the screen on while I am in the car... One is beside to mute notifications... One is at work to turn off Bluetooth and wifi and lower volume. So far I am loving the one touch functionality. I am wondering what other cool things can be done.

I use NFC Task Launcher and it is the best one I have found so far. Don't know if you know or not, but you can do switches which have 2 tasks. so if you tap it once itll do like normal then the next time it goes to the second task. So you can have like in car first tap turn BT on, screen timeout off, google music. Second tap turns off BT, screen timeout 30 seconds, close google music, text wife that you made it where you were going safely.
Once I get my Note I'm planning on getting a set of NFC stickers/keychain. On the keychain I plan on putting a link to a certain YouTube video. Whenever someone with an NFC phone asks what I have tagged on there, they get Rick Rolled

we'll have a new keychain available at andytags.com in about a week! It's an NTAG203 chip so it's compatible with all phones, but I wouldn't use it with the Samsung Tectile App.
The Samsung Tectile app is okay, but there are WAY better apps out there (we keep a list of the ones we recommend on our website). The Samsung app writes a ton of extra info on the tag for no good reason.
Anyway, we have both Mifare 1K Classic tags (same as Samsung Tectiles) and the NTAG203 tags - all Android themed and in various colors.
The keychain has a black background with our own Andy the Android NFC Face logo in a glowing blue. Should be on the website by 2/1
I got a pack of the free textiles with the free flip cover promotion. I have one in the car to turn off bluetooth, start car home ultra and forward phone calls to the built in phone in car. I just started using Tasker to create a "normal" profile that un-forwards calls and a few other small things. That way I don't have to have another sticker in car to turn car profile off. And in case I forget to un car profile it, I can now so it one click from home screen with Tasker widget. Man that app can do a lot.

I have:
One for bed, Task 1 turns on auto bright, ringer to 1, notification to 0, Task 2 screen to max, ringer to max, notifications to max
One for kids, Sends text to me letting me know they are leaving or have got home.
One for car, Task 1 turns on car dock/driving mode, BT on, media volume to max, wifi off, ringer to max, notifications to max(in case I forget my other tag), Task 2 car dock/driving mode off, media to 0, BT off
One for work, Task 1, ringer and notification to 1, WiFi on, Task 2, ringer and notifications to max, WiFi off
I think that is it.
I use one on my WiiMote to launch the pairing app, and another on my keys to boost brightness and disable wifi when I leave the house.

Spen helper works great for some customization as well.

I bought tasker when it was on sale but never got it to work very well. I watched the how-to videos, followed the directions, etc, just couldn't get it to do what I wanted. I recently starting playing with Automateit and have found it to be a lot easier (at least for simple stuff, which is all I wanted). I was easily able to set up a handul of rules (1. maps open, gps on; 2. maps closed, GPS off; 3. MX Player on, screen to 100% brightness; 4. Call ends, go to homescreen, 5. 11:30 PM silence all). They also have a "market" where you can download rules other people have uploaded.
Tasker seems more powerful, just beyond my grasp apparently.

Yeah I can understand the frustration with the learning curve, just spent the last couple hours trying to set up auto profiles for when GPS and WiFi should activate only to realize I was failing because I'm pointing tasker to open the GPS or Wi-Fi settings menu instead of the state change toggle.
I'm going to stick with it though...hey I can't get any worse than I already am. It's funny because I'm really feeling like a super geek again...takes me back to the good old days off my OG DROID. Love Android, I will never understand iOS users.

Check out the tasker wiki on his website (google tasker or go there from playstore entry). It includes lots of examples both of profiles you can just download and use, and also step throughs of how to set up specific tasks yourself.
I use it to turn off keyguard (pin lock) when I'm at home or in the car, adjust volumes in those places, and silence everything except alarms at night, also to autorotate to landscape when in the smartdock.

You can do the same things as this with "automate it" and it's free. Just throwing it out there
My favorite thing I ever did with Tasker was on a previous phone, I had a fully functional bluetooth timeout system working, where if the bluetooth was switched on, it would automatically switch off after 5 minutes if nothing connected. If something did connect, it would wait 5 minutes after disconnecting before it turned off. It would also switch to always on in certain situations (such as being in a car dock). It required multiple profiles, multiples tasks, and multiple variables to pull it off, but it was a thing of beauty. I don't use that anymore, because I don't need it on this phone...the battery doesn't even seem to be affected by bluetooth.
Currently, I use it to do simple stuff, like launch my desk clock app and silence notifications when plugged in and on the left side between 9PM and 9AM, silence notifications when in the car dock, and kill audio apps when removed from the car dock. I think it's a lot easier to learn when you already understand a lot of the fundamentals of coding, because a lot of it translates, though it requires a different manner of creativity and mental acrobatics to do certain things since there's no direct "OR" clause that would be really handy in a profile definition.
Hi -
Does anyone use the Citrix Receiver app on their Note 10.1? I have to use it for work, and I was wondering if people were successful in using the S-pen to edit documents, etc. It seems like the S-pen is great for the native Samsung apps, but using it as an input method, especially in citrix where the keyboard takes up half the screen, making it really hard to scroll and such.
Thanks!
I use citrix receiver on my note 10.1, but have never really tried to use the spen with it because my work applications don't call for it. My work is just mainly typing and clicking.
But it does work well.

Thanks for the reply. Do you run it with the native resolution, or do you have it set to some sort of magnification? Right now my screen is so tiny that it is hard to select things, such as to manipulate the cursor to select an email, etc., even if I am using the stylus. I tried changing the magnification settings in the Citrix Receiver app, but it doesn't seem to change anything when I connect to my remote desktop - everything is the teeny tiny size.
Also, how do you emulate the "shift" button to select more than one thing (e.g., deleting multiple items in outlook)?
I use the native resolution. I just pinch to zoom. I don't know how yours is set up, but mine has "apps" for the different programs I need to get into and the size can vary in the apps but I can just zoom in. I don't use it for outlook since my job also gives me a blackberry. Yes a blackberry lol

Don't knock the blackberry! I have a blackberry for work too (opted for the new Q10 over the iphone 5, insane, right? But I need that physical keyboard to deal with the volume of emails I have)
So when I log in using the Citrix receiver application, the "app" IS my desktop - there are no separate apps available for Word, Outlook, etc. Maybe that's the difference. I did change my setting to "optimize for high resolution" but all that does is give me a giant version of my desktop that I have to scroll around with my fingers.
Haha I just can't deal with blackberry. At this point in life I am just as fast with onscreen keyboard as the physical blackberry keyboard. We had the opportunity to get some S3's, but my boss opted for blackberry because he is an ios fanboy.
Back on topic, yeah mine seems to be set up a bit different with separate apps for the different programs we use.

I use Citrix for work. I have the screen set to static so the mouse point moves with my finger and then tap to click. This way I can pan the screen. As for the stylus, I use it sparingly. Mainly if I want to you the pen for touch instead of my finger, then I disable the onscreen mouse.
