[Q] App Request: Inactivity alarm - Samsung Gear Fit

I thought of something that could be built using the free calendar app or possibly the timer, and I think it would have some value. I'd like to see an app that would watch the Gear Fit pedometer and send an alert if it hadn't moved a set amount forward in a user-set time period. For example, if the pedometer was at 2000 steps at 10AM and this app recorded that, and the user had set an interval of one hour in the app for the notification and 200 steps for the increment they wanted to achieve, then at 11AM the app would check the old pedometer reading against the new pedometer reading to see if it had advanced more or less than the preset increment - then the app would create an alarm event if the pedometer was lower than the target, and not create an alarm if the pedometer was over the target value. The alarms would stay on the calendar, and would be snoozed or answered as they are today. A second feature would make the app do this at the user-determined intervals between two set times, say 8AM and 8PM on each day - otherwise it would bother users at night.
Do you think this would be possible? useful?

Looking for alert/notification application

I always use alarm app which come in Android. But to set an alarm, we need to enter the date and time.
I'm looking for not that kind of application. I'm looking for a range time alert application. Let's say I'm cooking right now, I want to check it again in 5 minutes, I'll set alert for 5 minutes. If I'm doing laundry right now, let's say washing machine will finish after 15 minutes, I'll set the alert for 15 minutes. I'm browsing internet right now, my TV Show will start in 10 minutes, I'll set alert time in 10 minutes...
It's fast notification I'm looking for. Just set the how many 5 minutes/hours you want to be notify. Is there an app for that purpose? Thanks.
Try AlarmDroid its simple the best for me.

Good, but not as I expected to be. Still working same as default alarm/clock.
I want alarm for a fast situation such as " let me know after 5 minutes" etc. Then key in 5 minutes.
No need to recalculate time such as default method such as "now 7:47, let me know/Alarm after 45 minute...calculate...err...what time is it?...err...7:47-8:00=13 min, 45min-13min=32min... okay, key in Alarm at 8:32 at today date, let's see...12/012/2012..." Whalaa.... I hate this situation.
Just type Alarm Clock or Alarm in PlayStore and pick the best.

I did test a lot before posting into this thread. They all working in the same fashion way, the different only the interface.
At least if there is alarm that shows time range from current time by scrolling, that would be enough. Of course by key in is better.

[APP] Alarm Clock that doesn't light up the screen

Searching high and low, I FINALLY found one!
A while back I posted HERE looking for an Alarm Clock app or modification that permits leaving the screen off while alarms are sounding. I am a heavy sleeper and all the other alarm clock apps I tried automatically wake the phone screen whenever an alarm is playing. This was putting enormous strain on my (non-replaceable HTC One M8) battery, reducing its calendar life by draining 20-40% of the power before I regain consciousness every morning.
So far out of about 10-12 clock apps I have tried, this is the only one I have found that will play an alarm and leave the screen off (or dimmed if you like):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.tanyu.SmartAlarmFree
It also has many other great features like launching an app on alarm trigger, gentle (ascending) song/ringtone/alarm volume, use music files as alarms and more!
THANKS TO THE DEVELOPER OF THIS!!!!!!

Alarm Clock not Working Properly

Has anyone had any issues with the alarm clock on the S8? I got mine in February, and since day one, the alarm clock feature has never worked properly. Specifically, the repeat feature doesn't work. I can set the alarm for say 7:00am and have it repeat every day. The first day it will work from initially setting it, but it won't work on subsequent days. Ironically, it will display a 'missed alarm' message, which isn't ideal when you're reading it at 8:00am
The only way I can get it to work for the next day is to switch that alarm off and then on again.
Yes, I know I could buy an alarm clock, but that's not the point.

Has someone updated ? impessions?
Yep, i have but not been in activities to proove improovements... ???
I have installed as well. No workouts yet. I have seen an extra menu item in run extra settings that is called virtual rabbit. I guess it is a ghost runner to keep you in pace. Interstellar watchface looks nice.
I can not understand what "real-time track in the real-time track page lock screen under outdoor sports" refers to.

I also noticed that and was wondering what the difference with pace alerts were. Both should notify you when you go outside a predefined pace, I guess.
Not done much since installing but the continuous heart rate appears to be more responsive when I move and thus my HR increases.
Previously I could go for a brisk walk and it wouldn't notice any change on the watch.
Fingers crossed its fixed.
On new watchface, there is a tiny heart on top. Does anybody get his/her heartrate shown on that watchface?
I do not think it shows heart rate. I have the eternal moment watchface which is showing HR data. Anyway I did not seem much changes, just the new watchface and the virtual rabbit. The update is mostly bug fixing which is a good thing. Still I am missing a cardio and yoga activity type.

I've just installed the update. Watchface looks nice.
But I don't know how to use Virtual rabbit and Real-time track.
Waiting for other's feedbacks.
Regards.

Hi
I also saw a heart on top but there's no HR number. Is it simply a symbol?
To me prototype source will always be the best watch face but the new face is a nice addition.
Haven't noticed much new stuff, the UI seems more fluid but that just might be a placebo.
I hope the next update they make an effort to fix the pretty terrible step counting.
Tested it with a bit of cycling back from work. One thing I noticed is it no longer vibrates when auto-pause switches on and off.
As others said, HR seemed responsive and accurate (but that couldn't mean anything, since it was pretty much accurate when cycling previously as well). Will test it tomorrow morning with some trail running and, fingers crossed, I hope to see some good changes
Edit: Also, I noticed the bug with synchronizing rides to strava showing up as runs has been fixed.
Well, i don't know if it's a bug with the new firmware - but it does not sync the sleep datas anymore. I have the datas from last night on my phone but not synced with the Amazfi app....
I have also updated yesterday, continuous heartrate seems much more reliable now. Tested several times, finger on wrist and counting, real heartrate 58 watch stated 59, real 76 watch 76, 87/88 and so on, before update the watch sometimes measured a heartrate of 40 when it really was at 80 or 90 and it was always approx. 10-15 beats to low. Now it seems to be useable.
[email protected]: Sleep was tracked correctly last nigth but I had some cases (2 or 3 in half a year) when sleep was not recognized for no reason so it could be an issue not depending on this update. Sometimes sleep data were correct on watch but simply didn't show up in app, after several syncs sleep data suddenly appeared.
Edit: Steps are also more accurate now, watch starts counting now after 10 steps not 30 like before so short walks to the fridge are recognized now.

You now can see your location on the lock screen if you have chosen to follow an imported GPX track. Really cool now.

They should implement manual altitude settings should be a real plus

Seem still bad and not usable. Little test :
- Garmin F3 : 543 steps
- Stratos : 275 steps
so Stratos count almost half steps. I think it have still 1/3 real steps because Garmin count only after 10 steps.
So daily steps count with stratos still totally wrong
"Time to stand up, you've been sitting for a while" alerts seem broken now. Granted, they still only occurred while sitting, but I think I went to the fridge to get a beer 3-4 minutes ago, and now it says I've been sitting for a long time Maybe now it does not count small movements like short strolls, only longer ones.

Countdown Timer

Are there any watchfaces that will display the countdown timer?
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
What watch are you asking about?
If it's the Bip, then no, you can't view the timer from the watchface with the stock firmware. Watch faces can only display time, date, am/pm, battery level, steps, progress to steps goal, calorie count, heart rate, bluetooth status, whether the screen is locked or unlocked, whether 'do not disturb' is active, whether an alarm is set, temperature, air quality, and weather.
If it's not the Bip, someone else will have to chime in with an answer.
Sorry should of mentioned it's the Pace
