It would be nice if it was possible to sync scheduled alarms between the watch and my mobile phone. Do you guys think this will be implemented in the future?
Watch must have his own alarm wich can works even if no phone connected
I think an option between the two would be nice. It would be nice to set an alarm on the watch and have my phone make noise while my watch charges or something like that.

On my previous phone which was a Samsung Omnia i8000, for the inbuilt Alarm Clock there was a wake up function. This would allow the user to set the alarm to what ever time to set it off (say 7am), switch the phone right off, and when say 7am came the phone would automatically turn itself ON and the Alarm would go off.
But I would like to know if the Galaxy SII has or can do this. I can seem to find this option in the Alarm clock.
Try it

Btw whats XDA Premum ?
I haven't seen anything like this in the stock alarm app, although i'm not sure about any other apps
you need NoMoarPowah from Chainfire
Hehe. Try to set alarm and turn off your phone.

My Samsung i8000 Windows Mobile phone definately did have it.
Oh well I will experiment on my Galaxy SII and see what happens.
Thanks
If you turn the phone off nothing will happen. The phone won't turn on.
Just enable flight mode before you go to sleep and keep the phone on. You can also do this automatically with tasker or probably a ton of other apps on the market.

It would be a shame if it does not work.
I recall my good old Nokias used to wake me up even if the battery ran out and they powered down.... guess there is no such reliability with current smartphones.

If you're asking if it will power up to activate the alarm, it won't, it sucks, I know. If you're referring to the Chainfire app, I have not used that...yet.
I need as many alarms as I can have. In lieu of this I turn off all my phones battery using functions and have SetCPU controlling speed and scaling when the screen is off. Doing this I only lose 2-3% battery during the night.
another alarm related question
as stated in the title i have another question:
do you also have the "problem" that the alarm only rings for a minute and then stops? i mean i have smart alarm activated, which rings for the selected time. but then the alarm itself only lasts for one minute...
No offence, but why not buy a decent alarm clock?
Then you don't have to worry

yeah it's definitely a pity it cant do that alright i posted the exact same question in the HD2 forums last year,i can set my Samsung Tocco's alarm when the phone is off and it will come on at whatever time i set it whereas i have to leave my GS2 on flight mode if i want to use the alarm.
@albinomi lol. When i read your post I thought for a moment "did i write this?" My previous phone was a samsung i8000 windows mobile phone. i also wrote the same question when i changed it with sgs2 . It sucks i know! The answer to your question is : no it does not ring the alarm when the phone is off. You know what else i miss? The sound quality of i8000 when listening to music.The Sgs2's sound sucks compared to it.
Oh, and I also miss the slowmotion recording(it was not the best but at least i had slowmotion recording)

Actually to be honest the sq of the Galaxy S2 is meant to be very good intact brilliant if u use the correct application for it and I think it's better than the i8000 IMHO. IT also uses a Yamaha sound Catherine retry card.
You will need to go to heaf-fi.org to find out more

Apparently there was a rumour that a chinese firmware had a power-on wake function. Dunno why they haven't added it to the european/NA firmwares. It's probably like the google talk with video. =/
Alarm waking up the phone
Yes, the powering on alarm does exist.
It is a feature of the chinese roms. You set it power off the phone and....1 min before it is supposed to ring...the phone boots up and the alarms goes off.
Simple. Just like in a Nokia phone.
I have tried to port the app from the chines rom and I even opened a thread here fro people to test the app. It was almost 2 months ago. No one tried it.
For me I couldn't make it to work, the chinese Rom has a different framework and the apk is odexed according to that framework.
I could do almost anything in Silverlight/etc but android isn't on my strong side.
I asked some recognized developers here, most of them flipped me and the rest never responded, opened threads on Android development forum.... no one seems to want a feature like that.
Anyway, PM me if someone wants to take a look at the work I've done then.
I did gave up long time ago.
Here's the thread I opened:

I have this problem too, is there a way to have the songs keep playing or loop?
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
j.
I'd like to know the same.

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.
Team,
I have tried a number of the sophisticated alarm apps but I can't find one that wakes up my tablet. Whether I have turned the screen off or let it go to sleep, the alarms do not sound until I physically double-tap the device. Then the alarm kicks in immediately. Obviously, it is totally pointless if I have to wake up the XZT before the alarm sounds!! As this seems to happen with a number of apps, I can only assume that there is a setting somewhere that I have overlooked. Can someone solve this for me please?
Thanks
Do you have Greenify installed or any similar apps that may put the app to sleep? Is this the stock alarm you are using that isn't working?

Nope, I don't know what Greenify is! The stock app seems to work OK. It's the more complex alarms that wake up slowly or provide "nap" features that don't seem to wake the tab up.
If someone could recommend an app that they know works and wakes up the tab, I'd be happy to give it a try.
BTW upgraded to 4.2 yesterday but the problem is still there.
Cheers

I use Timely and it works perfectly. Sounds like the app isn't your problem though.

Thanks - you have solved my problem without realizing it!:good:
I loaded Timely, set a test alarm and it immediately told me that it wouldn't work while Stamina was enabled. It even gave instructions on how to add an exception to Stamina.
Working perfectly now.
Many thanks - I hope this helps others:laugh:
Glad I could inadvertently help! I still think that's odd, but it's good to know for the future. I keep my tablet in the dock, so that may be why I haven't noticed the problem before.
Has anyone figured out how to enable "Personal Unlocking"
It was demo'ed at I/O. If you have your android wear device in range, it wont prompt you to unlock your phone.
I cant seem to find it, im running L preview.

i'm not sure it's available yet in the preview, wish it was since that is what i'm running, but if it is yeah more details about it would be nice to.
I'm pretty sure it's not available yet. It will be in the full release of L. I'm guessing it was just a demo at Google I/O and it's still too buggy or similar.
There are a number of apps that can do this. I use SkipLock and I have heard that pebble locker can do this. I don't however use L Preview as it really driver so I'm not sure if SkipLock works in the preview

True, I'm just using tasker and secure settings to unlock my phone when the watch is connected. When it's disconnected tasker checks whether I manually disconnected (cause I'm home and want the watch to charger eg) or whether the watch or the phone got stolen and then takes appropriate action (alarm, photo, tracking, password lock, etc)

Does anyone know if Pebble Locker or Skiplock has a on/off widget. I would like a one touch on/off feature for when I'm in the car, etc., and it would help to have one vs. having to go through serveral menus. I just installed Skiplock and couldn't find one, so I figured I would ask here.
Thanks.

Do you not wear your G Watch in the car? With skiplock just have your watch set as a trusted Bluetooth device and as long as it is connected you shouldn't need your phone's pin/password.

Sorry, maybe I should've been more clear. Yes, I wear the Gwatch in the car. But I only want to be able to use Trusted BT Device in the car and not when my phone is sitting my desk at work for example and I'm in range with my watch. Therefore, I'd like to be able to toggle Skiplock on and off with a toggle vs. having to find the app, start the app, click on settings, turn on the slider, close app. I don't see a on/off toggle in the widget gallery so I was asking if Pebble Locker had one or there was one with SL that I was missing.

If you have root I believe you might be able to do this with tasked and the secure settings plugin. Do you have a WiFi network at your work that you can connect your phone to? I think I might try to set this up on my own after I get off of work for the weekend.

I cannot seem to figure out how to block the vibration notifications that occur when I walk in and out of range of bluetooth on my phone.
My watch is constantly buzzing on my wrist as I move through different rooms of my house, and I certainly don't want to take my phone every time I get up. I'm not talking about a card notification, but it's a little cloud that appears and disappears on every watch face I've tried, including facer, stock, watchmaker, and third party watch faces.
Does anyone know of a way to disable that vibration alert?
thanks.

Mine doesn't notify me if I walk out of coverage, so I'm guessing the setting is there somewhere. I'm guessing it's an app doing it rather than android wear.

You were right... After a little nosing around I found an app called "Top Wear Apps" that was causing the issue. I really thought it was a common thing... I'm glad it's fixed!
Thank you so much!!! it was driving me crazy!!
