I wonder has anyone else felt having a stand-alone alarm on the Gear Fit would be useful using vibration as a wake-up. I really enjoy using the watch as a wake-up device and I know you can set your phone to a silent alarm so it essentially wakes you up by the vibration. But sometimes my phone battery dies during the night or sometimes I want to set a quick day time alarm when I don't have my phone around. The timer I think only goes up to 99 minutes.
Maybe this is only strange to me but not having a built in alarm on the phone seems an oversight. I had the same issue with the Gear 1 and tried a few aftermarket apps such as Zen alarm but found on the phone they often didn't have the alert until hours after it was meant to.
I know these watches are companion devices to a phone but they do include some apps that make sense to have on the phone such as timer, pedometer etc. Always wonder why not an alarm as well.
Agree 100%

the problem is, there are no real apps for gear fit only app connections that are in need of the phone to work.
So what you are suggesting with the standalone alarm won't work if your phone is not connected via bluetooth.
Maybe someday it will be possible to include apps in the firmware but i wouldn't wait for it.(since there isn't much free space)
Best way would be to tell samsung directly in boards or customer support or whatever if they could include a standalone alarm.

Good morning everyone. I also am interested in having the alarm on the Gear Fit, because as the partner says above, if we run out of battery in the phone, or even if the Bluetooth connection is lost no would sound us the alarm, and I see no logical we will put both mobile Vibrate as bracelet at a time.
That said I do not understand because if you can make a calculator application, or one in which the screen turns on and then torch, not to have to create multiple alarms. I'm not saying having a hundred but 2 or 3 alarms at a minimum I think is not much to ask.
I think it's the only thing missing from the bracelet. Anyone know where I can get environment or any program to program applications for Gear? I'm looking and looking to try to create an application and see if we can somehow create if only an alarm.
Regards and forgive the inconvenience.
AGree!!!

There should be a better timer and a better stopwatch!! they only go to 99 and that is pretty anoying. I'm thinking someone should also do one of those interval apps, the gear fit is perfect for it so you don't have to be carrying the galaxy device into the gym (which I hate). And of course a standalone alarm with multiple configurations, I can leave with setting it up in the device itself.
Guys, I have come here just to look for such an application. Any developments yet? It seems our device is half baked and using only a small portion of its potential.

yes. the most app I want is an alarm!!!
This sounds like a no-brainer, but the SDK (as I understand it) really only allows an app to respond to touch input and the phone via BT. There's no access to the native clock. I plan on looking into it, pretty much just to tinker, because I lost my fitbit and BT8010, and this was a much less expensive replacement (used). I've got a class to finish, and a kid to raise, so it might not be timely. Don't expect much.
This little guy really does have potential. It's a crying shame the software development didn't support it. Really, Samsung's pretty software sucks like no other manufacturer I've ever seen. And I'm WinMo-3.0 old.

a vibrating alarm for gear fit!
There isnt a need for a stand alone alarm, atm its not possible. The Gear Fit isnt designed to have apps loaded on it, just on the phone & used via bluetooth.
I think an Ideal solution to this would be an Alarm App that can be downloaded as usual to the phone, and accessed on the Gear Fit.
For the Alarm to be 100% silent on the Phone (with no vibration either) but to vibrate on the Gear Fit - the settings for the alarm could be edited either on the phone or via the 'App Connect' feature on the Gear Fit....
I think this would give the solution people are wanting???

You can do this with the built in Alarm (via the Clock app) on your phone. Just make sure Alarm is checked under Instant Alerts in the Gear Fit Manager. You can even dismiss or snooze directly from the Gear Fit.
How do you get it to appear in the instant alerts? I only see incoming calls

Working Alarm for Gear Fit
Just recently got rid of my FitBit and got a Gear Fit but had the same question as you. I tried the different alarm apps and tried to us the Gear Fit Manager app to make them function.
Lo and behold! I did not have to get an app as the Clock app already loaded with my Samsung S5 works just fine. Just set your alarm on this Clock app, go to your Gear Fit Manager app, then go to Notification. Scroll down to Instant Alerts for Gear: 3 and put a check mark on Alarm. Voila!
Of course, I did a test first and yes, my Gear Fit vibrates with the alarm at the exact time NOT an hour later like the Sleep as Android app.
Hi,
its possible prolong time in countdown app ??? i cant set on 90 min. If it´s possible we can use this app like alarm.

Okay so I've been looking around for a way to set up specific rules for notifications, for example: between 11pm and 8am phone is silent, but if X texts me, play and continuously repeat notification alert until dismissed.
The idea is I want to be able to silence my phone at night but also allow certain people to wake me.
I've tried many of the apps in the play store that have similar functions but for the most part they either don't work at all or they don't entirely work. I also tried Llama but noisy contacts weren't working for texts nor do they repeat until dismissed. Tasker is a likely option but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
I'm on an LG G2 At&t stock rooted 4.2.2 rom
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I can't recommend Wearable Widgets enough especially on the Gear S
It works by creating a bridge from your phone to the watch for just about any widget that will fit on a 2" screen without it being too small to read.
I have experimented with a few widgets and 2 favourites are the BBC weather widget and Timely, but most impressive is an app called "HD Widgets". https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&hl=en_GB
With this one I was able to quickly design a clock and weather widget and then use wearable widgets to display it on my Gear S. See screenshot.
There is so much potential, they have 2 apps in the Gear Store, one is Wearable Widgets Clock and the other is Wearable Widgets for Gear The first one allows you to create any widget and use it as a clock. That's good for keeping a selected widget always available. The second app (which it states does not have Samsung approval - but it works regardless) Allows you to open the app on the watch and view as many widgets as you want, on a 'one per page' view. Note that in order to have more than 1 widget, you need to upgrade to the pro version which was about £1 roughly. Definitely worth it. And if I have made this sound complicated, trust me it's not. It's very quick and easy.
You will need the free app for your phone in order to set everything up:

Cannot find the wearable widget clock. Can you give me a link or something?
Go into the Gear store via Gear Manager and you will find it in the CLOCK category about one page down.
Note that some people say that some (random) apps don't appear. I cannot find the app called "Bike!" which someone else has for example!

How to set as a screen to the right
So regarding the wearable widgets for gear s (Not the clock version), I see that I can scroll down to the app then get my widget but what I really want is to replace one of the screens to the right of the clock with one of the widgets. I really like my watch face and don't want to replace it. It is too much swiping around to get to the widget in the app dwar that is below the clock. Am I missing something?
Thanks

It's not currently possible to add anything to those pages other than the pre-installed Samsung widgets. You can of course move the app icon to the top of the app drawer (tap and hold then drag) that will save you a bit of thumb work!

Need to update Gear S for more compatability
Samsung really needs to update their gear S Tizen software to be more compatible. We should be able to add whatever app we want to one of the widget slots to the right of the clock. Also no gmail or facebook app. WTF! The wearable widgets is an okay work around but I find there is an obnoxious delay when trying to scroll through the gmail widget and If I have to pull my phone out to look at the email after selecting it from the gear s widget then I might as well go straight to the phone in the first place.
The gear S has a lot of potential but the software just is not there yet..... I have never used an android wear watch yet but I wonder if it does some of this better. But I do really like being able to reply to txts from my watch or answer calls which android wear can not do.

Regarding your email issue, I am now using the stock Samsung email app. It's not as good as the Gmail one but it gets the job done and more importantly it is fully compatible with the Gear's email app and notifications. I also think Facebook will follow.
Now with the Gear S.. there are some shortcomings I agree but it's still in its infancy. I bought the original Gear when it first launched and there weren't any apps for it, just some additional (and ugly) watch faces. It was expensive and I could easily have written it off as a waste of money. However things quickly picked up, the Gear store grew, developers did some amazing mods and roms for it, Samsung added Tizen and that meant more apps. I started appreciating it more. And I kept it right up to the Gear S purchase.
I am certain the Gear S will go the same way. There is a lot more potential with this than any other smartwatch as it has a large screen, a keyboard, wifi, gps and a cellular connection. These are all useful for a huge amount of development potential. I am also confident that Samsung will add more functionality and iron out the usability issues.
I bought an 'LG G watch R' initially, believing that Android Wear was the going to offer so much more. I had the watch for 24hrs before sending it packing. It was lame compared to Tizen and quite frankly unattractive and limited. It's designed to be a notification slave and not really cater for apps and standalone features. It hasn't exactly moved on much since it was announced either.
So hang on in there mate, and concentrate on how amazing this watch is in every other way. It's a cracking gadget and it's a keeper for me.

Wearable widgets on gear s
Ok I am using an orange icon that says gear in it... I downloaded and installed both wearable widgets and I even upgraded but it does not show me how to get it to the watch.. I did click one thing on my wearable widgets app on my phone and it says I need gear manager.. I downloaded gear manager, but will not install, I'm assuming because of the gear app I currently use... If I remove the one that's orange and has gear written in it.. Will I lose what I have created clock wise and app wise alike?
You can use 4x4 widget also. The watch will scale it down.
Oh heck yea! This works great. Expands the Gear S tremendously in my opinion.
Sounds interesting. But will this work without a bluetooth connection to the pone too? A connection (over WLAN or remote) should be necessary, right? But will it work just with remote over 3G? And what says the battery?
questions
Has anyone found that wearable widgets drains battery. Is it possible to disable the watch home screen and leave wearable widgets running so when i wake the watch wearable widgets is running and i can just swipe over to next widget. Is there a watchface that can be used where i can launch the app just by touching the screen.
And unrelated but is there an app where i can see a full calendar in month view that can sync with splanner/google calendar.
Im trying to decide between switching from my omate to the gear s so im just trying to weigh my options.

Yes WW drain the batt, you must be carefull with the WW oprion. WW as a watchface app so it is the standard Gear Clock and you can swipe from the face to other widget.
You have also another watchface for Gear with launcher and you can add shortcut for 4 to 20 apps on one face.
After 2 days I can say with conviction that the Gear S is a worthy investment for the money.
A little research and I've got it all set up to my needs.
- Getting Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, & text messages, all with the ability to reply
- Getting my Google Now alerts (traffic, weather, etc)
- Streaming Milk Music as standalone
- Opera Mini browser enables me to check/reply/send Gmail, browse/interact with Facebook, Google Search, etc
- Enabled continuous swipe input in the stock keyboard in settings
- Changed my voice-wake to "OK Google"
- Battery easily lasts me almost 2 days entire day with moderate use
I can't think of a single thing that I am disappointed about. And that's saying a lot as I had high expectations.
If you're on the edge of buying this, I say go all in. Speaking of which, I'm on the Edge as well. T-Mobile
I just got mine today and so far I'm loving it. I only wish you had a manual to show me how to set mine up like that especially replying to Facebook messages.

Glad I could help. That's what we're all on XDA for!
I think the GS is the most amazing piece of personal tech I have ever come across (IT technician by profession).
I used to carry two phones, one personal and one work, which was a pain. Now I carry a Note 4 as my personal and the GS as my work phone. I run the GS in remote connect mode during the week so it acts as a stand alone number, then on weekends I run it in Bluetooth mode as a companion to my Note (I don't take work calls on the w/e). My exchange account syncs mail, contacts, appointments, etc across all my devices. Emailing, appointments, adding contacts, etc I do on my Note which syncs with the GS. Business calls/msgs I take on the GS and private calls/msgs on the Note.
This solves all my problems and works fantastically.
The GS is incredibly versatile and that may be it's biggest fault - too complex for the average user. Just read many of the posts on here and it is clear that people have no idea about it's features and functionality.
I feel same as you guys. I enjoy my phone everyday. Makes life easier for me. Only issue I am having is that if I get a text message and I go to reply the keyboard won't pop up. I have to go and close all apps thrn go back into messaging app then it works. Any ideas?

I found Opera in the Samsung app store, that I accessed through Gear Manager. From within Gear Mgr, once connected to your Gear S, you can install all the gear apps you want (not that there are that many). Hope this helps.

I just checked and you are right: Samsung seem to have removed the app, and I can't even find the other browser I saw in there.
It used to be one of the very first apps popping up in the store.
I'm sure we can share the Opera file with you, I just have no clue how it's done.
Damn--looks like I missed it by a matter of DAYS...
Well, at least I know I'm not crazy now. Thanks guys!

I want to create an android app that automatically disables the alarm set by the user after a certain time.
Actually my roommate is a big nerd, he sets an early alarm daily but never wakes up and disturbs me with his alarm.
I put the phone battery out and do certain stuff to disable the alarm before I get disturbed early morning but he gets to know any change made and I don't want that.
I want anyone to create an app for me or help me to make such an app which disables the alarm silently in the background after a certain time. This way it would be disabled after he sleeps and I will enjoy my sleep.
I will anyhow install the app into his phone. I want that app to work silently and it should have no face to display in front so that he never finds it and uninstalls an unusual app.
I am new to android app building It would be a great help. And if someone can create this simple app for me... I am suffereing... Please
You will not find any help here on that. We do not condone messing with others device.

I hope someone can help, I have installed watch droid on both watch and phone, however when I try to run watch droid, it detects my watch and then informs me that I have and update. +++ then a big green tick appears.
When the watch tries to update I get a message . "your watch has blocked the update for security purposes" then the connection drops out.
Then i only get an option to press agree, if I press disagree or the 'X' I get "install failed" message and the loop starts again.
I was really hoping for Watch Droid phone to work as it seemed like the most useful app for the Amazfit so far.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks internet people.
you need to install manually the apk, or use this installer:

Watch wear assistant / phone app
I was attempting to use this app with a KW88 smartwatch. Downloaded fine to the watch but here is my problem. I have an iPhone. Is there a way or alternative app for iPhone? Thanks!

Nope, if you wan't 3rd party devices to work correctly with you smartphone you should have bought an Android phone. If you want a smartwatch that works correctly with an iPhone your options are the apple watch, the apple watch or the apple watch.
KW88 smartwatch
If there is an option to make calls and respond to text messages on the KW88 then which app needs to be downloaded? WII watch does not offer those options. KW88 connects to both android and OIS.

If your watch's companion app on iOS doesn't do what you need, then there is not much you can do. Watch Droid works only with Android (you can infer that from its name). It should work with KW88, but you'd better try to get some help from the watch's specific forum or some Watch Droid forum (I don't know if there is one for it here on XDA). Good luck.
Works perfectly with a DM2018 (except it increases battery consumption quite a lot if you stay connected 24/24): it is the only one I found that keep the BT connection stable (the recommended FunDo in its standard version just didn't accept my phone number -that of the SIM card- as a valid one. The pro version did but did not maintain a stable BT connection. If you install from apk you must first authorize installation from 3rd party sources. I tested BT Connection and a few others: same instability.

You need to authorize 3rd party apks. Check settings;
Hello. I have some problems with watch droid. With incoming calls, I have a standard call on my watch, not a watchdroid call. How to disable the standard display of a call. In the Amazphite application, I disabled the push notifications. I forbade the Amazite to work in the background and stopped it and now the call goes through the watchdroid, but as soon as I start the amazfit all over again, and I need to go to the settings of the phone to stop it again. Each time there is no desire to do this. Can everything be made easier? And immediately the second question: how do I respond to incoming calls using watchdroid? Now only 3 buttons: without sound, reject, paper airplane (printed answer).
Thank you.
quick question...can i have both amazfit app and watch droid connected? It seems i can only have one or the other
