Nope. GF doesn't have own app for alarm.

I have two Gear Fits connected to two non-Samsung phones (Nexus 4 and a Sony Xperia Z Ultra). Both have the same issue where most notifications will not show details, but just a message of: "For details, view this notification on your mobile device."
There seems to be no consistency of when I may or may not get details. Sometimes it shows it for a bunch of notifications in a row, but once it stops working, I have no idea when it might start working again. Anybody else have this problem and any ideas?
Additional info:
Gear Fits on firmware NG2, Gear Fit Manager 1.70
I have the same issue as well and no idea why it happens, I usually try to restart the phone and I think it gets back to working

I used to have this issue. It occurs when the host fit is connected back to the device after any loss of connection. The guy works everytime. Once you connect fit to phone, go to gear manager app, notifications, use the switch at the top to turn off all notifications. Wait 5 sec, turn notifications back on. Will be fine until next time fit disconnects. So repeat with each connection.

solve the problem
When u lose connection
Close bluetooth
Open bluetooth
Open the gear manager app
I use automatelt to automate that to reconnect and fix that problem
Works 99% of the time
So, I've had my Gear S now for about a week, and LOVE it. The connection stuff has me a bit confused though. I have it paired with an AT&T Note 4. There are a few things I have questions about...
If I reboot the phone, the watch will only connect to Gear Manager remotely. Shouldn't it connect to Bluetooth first? I have to go into Gear Manager and disconnect the remote connection, then it will reconnect via Bluetooth.
Under what circumstances does the phone forward calls/sms to the watch? For example, on purpose, I left my phone at home one day, and went out for a drive. Calls and SMS that were made came from the watch's number. I can't say about the receiving end because I didn't receive anything LOL.
Sometimes, if I go out of Bluetooth range at home, the home wifi will kick in, but repeatedly get a message on the watch that the forwarding function failed.
I'm definitely keeping this baby, but just need a little help in understanding it fully.

With my S5 initially, Remote Connection would kick in after a few minutes out of Bluetooth range. But, when I was back in Bluetooth range, I would have to do what you are doing to drop RC. I had a Gear 2 Neo prior to Gear S, don't know if that was any issue. .I did a factory rest on S5 ( to get rid of root and some other things) , and now watch connects and disconnects to RC by itself and rather quickly. BTW, when in RC, all texts and calls to S5 do come to Gear S. If I were in your shoes, I might try to reinstall Gear on phone before wiping phone. IF you do wipe phone, Gear S will be reset during the pairing process, so you may want to back up your Gear S data prior.
Op. Under settings-connections-mobile network, do you have it set to auto connect? On the phone side of things for Bluetooth settings, gear s contented to phone audio?

Yeah, all that was set, but I ended up wiping both the phone and the watch and everything seems fine now... Still loving the watch... wondering how they'll make the next one better..

Make sure the notifications are set properly within those two applications to allow audible notifications and not just vibrate or system default sound. I have the same issue with my Google Now app.
How can i check that configuration? i have this problem just on the gear s, in my phone is working ok.

In the application on your phone, but if the audible notifications are working on your phone then thats not the problem. The issue isnt with your gear device its an application issue.
Are you connected via bluetooth or remote connectivity? Also try going into the gear manager and turn notifications OFF then restart both devices. Once both are restarted and connected via bluetooth again go back into gear manager and turn notifications back on and restart both devices again.

Im connected via bluetooth, i did all the steps but the problem persists :/
I was able to connect my S6 Edge to my Toyota Corolla 2014.
The car system tries to read the contact list and the call log from the phone, but the call log is not sent to the car.
As a result the Bluetooth app stops and starts again in an endless loop and I get the "Bluetooth has stopped" message.
Re-pair, reboot, stopping the app on the phone, clearing the app data - nothing solved the problem.
Everything is OK with my old S5.
Could not find anything on google.
Any ideas.
I have the same model car. Go into your phone's settings and turn off the call and contact sync. Also do this in the Corolla's bluetooth settings. It should be fine after that.

I think this phone might actually have some Bluetooth issues. My Moto 360 keep getting disconnected. I used HTC One M8 before and never had this issue.

Thanks for your response.
I tried to turn off the Contacts and Phone log before the phone was connected to the car. Then after it was connected I turn it "On" again, The car was refreshing the list and everything was OK. Now I have to see what will happen next time I come back to the car and connect.
BTW: were you able to connect MirrorLink to the car and be able to run apps from the car screen? when I connect with a USB cable, my phone says connected but I can not run apps and there is nothing on the car screen.
Hello Everyone - I just purchased my Zenwatch 2 a few days ago and have mixed feelings about it. I have a few issues but not quite sure if it's just user error or if I have a lemon watch. I want to be able to power down my watch and charge it nightly, however when I power down the watch and attach the pogo charger, the watch instantly powers back on. I tried it three times in a row in different variations (placing it on the charger and then powering it down, powering it down and then placing it on the charger etc). Is anyone else having this problem? The reason for powering it off at night is because I don't want to be woken up by the phone's lights/vibrations when I get emails at all hours of the night. Is the watch supposed to do this? I have checked the manual and it says nothing about this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
All smart watches do that
There is a a menu you can pill down from the top and turn of all notifications

Wonderful, thank you crzygrmn - that will temporarily fix the buzzing and the lighting up at night. My long term problem is that the watch will not stay off/powered down if I am charging the watch. In other words, I can power down the watch, but as soon as I connect the pogo charger to it, it will instantly turn back on. Likewise when I connect it to the charger and then power the watch down, it will turn back on again as well. Anyone have information on the charging/powering down issue specifically?
Not sure why, but yes they all do that.

exninja, thank you for confirming. I wondered because my boyfriend's Samsung Neo 2 watch does not do that - so I thought perhaps my zenwatch 2 shouldn't have either. Thanks again for the reply!
Because the samsung watches mostly run on tizen os .

I put my watch in theater mode at night. That keeps the display off all night.
I use an app named Slumber (look for it on Google Play).
It does the same as manually setting theater mode, but it is automatic
You could also use Tasker and AutoInput to open the Android Wear app and disconnect the watch at night and reconnect it in the morning. I use it to turn off the screen at night to prevent burn-in.
