Jawbone UP 24 Notification Access - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All!
I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that grants the Jawbone Up 24 notification access. I thought it might be cool if my UP24 vibrated every time I had a notification like a text or something. Thanks!

Great Idea!

Bump.

Does anyone know if there are any applications that allow this (i.e. allow me to make the UP24 vibrate for incoming calles etc.)?
However, I don't know if this is actually possible as the phone seems to 'upload' things like alarms to the device?

Hi
Any way forwards with this

[Q] "Draw Something" question

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 miss the iPhone Facebook app.. Posh notifications were nice and the app it self it so much better than the Android counter part...its pathetic

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

what you mean?
mine works flawlessly
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.

Don't know the x's and o's of why iOS gets notifications and Android doesn't for this particular app, but the fact is that it happens. I saw it with my own eyes.

Random notification sound and vibration

Hello all. I have noticed that several times a day my phone will vibrate and the notification sound will play. I look at the phone and i do not have any message. I know it's not roaming because I am right in front of a cell site and have great signal. I did a search and found that folks were having this issue with a yahoo mail app, yet I do not have this app. I am on stock with the latest OTA (until new root comes out). Any ideas? I guess i can live with it as everything else works, but I'm worried that a message might be coming through and i'm missing it.

Its probably Facebook, make sure you disable notification on the facebook app or be woken up at 3am to hear about how much your girl loves twilight and ****

Well when the facebook notifications happen i typically see an icon. I went ahead and disabled the notifications anyways and i'll see where i'm at in a few days I guess.
I am married, but I can say that if a woman of mine ever made a pro twilight post, I would remove her from my life.
unfriended with extreme prejudice! My Facebook notification was pretty sporadic, sometimes it would only appear for the length of time the vibration was happening.
So far, no vibrations. Maybe that was it...
I have had similar issues when I had the Yahoo mail app installed. You can turn off system notifications but it still makes the sound. I since just use the default mail app so not sure if it's still an issue.

[Q] LED notification

Hi,
do you know how to extend the time for the notification led? It's only blinking for 5 min and then nothing
Could you please recommend any program which can do that and works (4.0.3) or is there any other way?
Thanks

Guys
I have found a way to keep the LED notification on for text messages and incoming calls. Am sure it can be extened to other notifications as well but I dont need those.
I have used tasker to get this done. Once I get a text message or a missed phone call, the tasker starts a task that monitors whether the text has been read or the notification cleared. Every 5 mins, it will just start the "Notify LED" event in tasker. Have been using this feature for a couple of weeks and everything seems fine.
You need to know how to program using tasker. I have rooted the phone but I dont think you need to root to make this feautre work.

[Q] Gmate+ With Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0

Hello,
I'm considering the idea of getting a Gmate+(http://www.skyroam.com/) for my SGP5 but I have one remaining question. Ive searched all over the internet and couldnt find any answers so it must not be a big problem.
1. Will the gmate app notify me of sms/calls on my SGP or will i always have to go by the vibration on the gmate?
2. If the app wont notify me...is there a toggle switch or someway to disable the vibration on the gmate when i dont want it?
Because if the app will notify me then I'll just be getting the plain Gmate without vibration.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Nevermind...i found my answer soon after posting haha
Number 27 at http://www.skyroam.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=83&..
As an owner of the Gmate+, I'd be happy to answer any questions you had about it, as I've had mine for some time. The app is a bit rough around the edges, it doesn't have nearly the polish of the android apps for phone and testing, but they work. Texts and calls pop up notifications on the SGP, with calls acting like a standard phone call on a smartphone, taking over the lock screen, etc. it also causes the SGP to vibrate or make whatever noise it makes for a notification. The GMate also vibrates, but it is loud, and quite piercing, as the device is very small and light. this, however, can be turned off. There are a number of checkboxes which dictate when the Gmate will vibrate, such as a connection, incoming call, texts, etc. One other thing is that I've never been able to get the web browsing to work, and the more I look into it, the more it looks like a bug with samsung devices on Gingerbread, so having an ICS rom might fix that, the other thing you need to keep in mind is that the app says it's not compatible for a reason, it will disconnect every 5 minutes or so, when the device goes to sleep and shuts bluetooth off, but at app I found called Bluetooth KeepAlive fixed that, even though it was a couple bucks, I think it was worth it.
Sorry for the wall of text, but in summary I guess is that the Gmate works and is a good device, but it's a little rough in how it's used and there are a few hoops you have to jump through to get it to work.
Hi,
Thanks that helped a lot silentdoh!
So where are the options for vibration? Are they in the app i assume? Because i looked all through the settings and didnt find them.
And im on cm10.1 and i got the app from the play store so it was all compatible it said
So do u think the Plus is worth it for the vibration or not?

I believe the app shows the option when you have the Gmate+ connected, because why have the option when the other device doesn't support it? When I got it, there was no difference in price, it really depends if you can deal with an annoying vibration noise, most of the time I just turn it off, but it is nice to know when it's connected if you can't look at your SGP. I personally don't use mine anymore, but I still love it as a backup, one thing to note is that it is not compatible with 3G speeds, so you'll be using 2G the whole time, and that it uses a standard sim card, not a microsim. Also, the signal is not too great, I sometimes have issues with service unless I take the Gmate out with my phone as I answer or send a text, not sure if there's any way to fix that.
Thanks for all your information. It helped me a lot to decide what to do. As of now im gonna hold off and just see how everything works on my new dumbphone.
Would it at all be possible to port this feature(http://support-us.samsung.com/spsn/detail.jsp?ctg_id=209&sub_ctg_id=&live_id=8) to the galaxy player 5? For me it would be an OK alternative to the Gmate.
Would this be a simple ROM port or would it require more then that?
I would port the ROM myself if i knew it would work, but right now I use my Galaxy for work and and everyday personal stuff and cm10.1 doesnt backup in cwmSso im not going to try until i get more opinions and the feature would be really nice on cm10.1! Any thoughts?

I was talking about pairing my Samsung Flight II dumphone with my SGP5.0 so that any calls i get on my phone wil come to my GP. This way i could answer calls with my player without having to take out my dumbphone.
If you have an apk for that...i would sure like to have it.
Does anyone know anything about this device? http://www.simore.ch/en/two_sim_cards_in_one_mobile/dual_sim_card_dualblue.php#11
It looks like a healthy alternative to the gmate cause it looks like its been more kept up to date then the Gmate. They have videos of it working on the S4 and the HTC One even

Yeah, all you have to do is put your "dumbphone" in your pocket and you make and receive calls from the player as long as your connected via bluetooth

App that has Smart Alerts (vibrate when picked up) ?

Hi,
Is there any app that has the option to have the phone vibrate when picking it up when it has missed messages or calls ? It used to be a standard option for androids called 'Smart Alerts' and senior phones still have it...
Of course they removed it now, as they ALWAYS do with the cool features, leaving only the crap.
So is there any app that has this? Smart Notify claims it does but it doesn't work at all... beware I have not rooted my phone and I am probably not likely to do so...
Thanks,

Just saying, there used to be 'Vibify' which was in the play store, but it isn't there anymore...
I don't get it, one of the coolest features since Android 5 and no one seems to even know what I mean, wherever I ask...
Absurd. It's when you physically pick up the device off from the table, the motion sensor then triggers a single short vibration to let you know you have missed calls and/or messages...
Anyone ? Thanks.
