Good morning everyone! Please, excuse me for my english... it's very very bad!!!
I'm a new owner of Gear S previous I was a Gear Fit user.
I use this wearable with a Galaxy K zoom with installed Business Calendar PRO 2 because it is the only App (among the ones I tested) which provides for the automatic snooze of notifications for appointments.
When I used the Gear Fit, all the times that I losing a notification for an appointment, and it was resumed automatically after (for example) two minutes, on the wearable was repeated the warning.
I thought the Gear S worked in the same way... Could you confirm me that this a problem of this wearable?
Many thanks!
I use CalenGoo it has a snooze feature. Automatically or with select snooze option.
Or on standalone app I have also CER (Calendar Event Reminder) or Calendar Snooze wich provide Snooze feature for Calendar events

Ive been using the GoSMS scheduled SMS - and sending texts to myself to act as a reminder with the pop-up notifications.
Works pretty well, but it is a bit of a hassle going through the process of setting up the scheduled text.
I recently discovered COL Reminder, which does do exactly as i want - but the UI isn't as stylish as i would like.
Any.DO is pretty good too, using the task list and having pop-up reminders when set.
Does anyone know of any other reminder apps which have pop-up notifications (rather than just the status bar icon notification)?
Appreciate any input.
If you don't mind having to involve a PC, Google Calendar supports SMS notification. But this is only settable from the web based interface. Too bad Google's so lax with the Android frontend--one gripe of mine is that you can't even book a bi-weekly meeting without the web-based version.
I digress...hope this helps and good luck.

Business Calendar Free is a good app to use as a to-do list and set reminders.
thanks for the replies guys,
cttttt - it is handy to know that Google Calendar can alert my by sending texts, though im afraid it is a little impractical for what i require.
muqtaliff - i have played around with business calendar in the past. but havent found away to enable pop-up notifications for reminders. how can this be done?
thanks again fellas.
In Business Calendar, go to settings, scroll down "Settings for New Events" and choose the Default Reminder Time (On Time/5 Minutes etc). Save the settings and test it out with an entry.
I use Tasks N Todos. Supports Notification Bar pop-ups, ringtone, and vibration reminders. Also syncs with Google Tasks.
Astrid Tasks is also pretty good.
but i am guessing with some addons u can give yourself location based reminders too..
Hey guys,
Im afraid i mustn't have made myself clear when describing what i am looking for... when i say "pop-up" reminder notification, i mean a notification which appears as a "pop-up" on the screen, not just an icon in the status bar.
Ive attached a couple of screen shots from Any.DO and COL Reminders to illustrate the feature.
Cheers.
Popup Notifier
Hey guys,
for anyone still interested, i have found a pretty useful app which does serve my purposes.
Let me just give you a little background as to why this is useful to me.
I have a few ways that I manage 'to do' type lists on my phone....
- I use Springpad to manage shopping lists. These are short term to-do lists which require no reminders but can be viewed and edited when the shopping is done.
- Any.Do is how i manage my long term to do list (synced with Google Tasks). I use these 'tasks' more like long-term notes. If someone recommends a band or album to me, i'll note in in Any.Do. If i have an idea for some art, i'll note in in Any.Do. These tasks/notes also do not require reminders.
Now... the one thing I had been missing (kind-of) was the ability to set short & long term reminders which gave me a pop-up notification. For things like "call mum on her birthday", "buy concert tickets when they go on sale", "put the bins out", etc. You would think that for tasks like this - it would be as easy as creating an 'appointment' in Google calendar and having a reminder set... this is only half true. Creating an appointment and setting a reminder is the easy part - sometimes actually being reminded by that reminder is not so easy. The way i see it, the little notification icon in the status bar is not sufficient as a reminder. These icons can easily queue up, and the status bar is normally pretty cluttered with other icons. So if you're anything like me - you don't pay too much attention to the status bar. The feature that is missing, is the ability to have an on-screen pop-up notification to remind us of all these 'appointments' we need to keep.
This is where Popup Notifier comes in. It is a pretty simple idea, which is very well implemented. This app will allow you to enable pop-up notifications for a variety of apps which may need them (SMS, Missed Calls, CALENDAR, etc).
So with this addon app, we can now create reminders through our calendar apps, and we will be notified of these reminders with not-so-easily-ignored pop-up windows.
Hopefully this will help a few peeps who share my reminder-related sentiments.
I look forward to hearing feedback and opinions of other peoples experiences.
cheers.
Reminder
Well, I recommend to Mr. Reminder Application for android users that can set for any reminding any event/occasion/day/date.
I like how on Sense 3.5 my Outlook Calender reminders pop up full screen on the lock screen, however, when I drag the 'snooze' button to the lock ring, i never get another reminder again (snooze doesn't work).
Under settings on my Calender, it looks like it's set to default to a 10 minute reminder.
Anyone else having this issue? And any idea how can I get this working correctly?
(I'm wondering if it works with Google calenders (which I do not use) and not with Outlook or something...)
Is this Calender lockscreen snooze button working for you? If so, what version of Outlook do you use? Mine is '03.
I just came from the Evo3D and the same problem there. I have installed Caladar Snooze
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze
Which is free, and this is something that I now cant live without. Works flawlessly. When a caladar event comes due I hear a reapeating reminder and when I open my phone I get a full screen with options to snooze for minutes to days and its quick to select and no worries cause it works and will remind you, not like the stock snooze.
I liked it so much I bought the Key
The UI is something less to be desired but very reliable so far and have had it for 5 months
How does Calendar Snooze play with the built-in calendar alerts? Do you have to dismiss two notifications? (i.e., does the lock screen alert still appear?)
good question. When an alert comes up you dont see the stock snooze lock screen. you see the calandar snooze in the notification bar and after you unlock the full size menu screen pops up and you have to make your choice, 5 min, 1 hour, until, for, dismiss
Just to further answer my own question: Calendar Snooze has a setting to appear on top of the lockscreen and wake the phone when it alerts. Still have to dismiss the lockscreen if you want to access the rest of the phone.
Several months back I installed the official Google Calendar app on my Stock ICS (rooted) Rezound. I also disabled the HTC calendar after installing. Calendar itself works fine. For several years I've been using Calendar Snooze to get the option to snooze and it works fine except that I get duplicate google calendar alerts and calendar snooze alerts about 50% of the time. I've read that the google calendar app is supposed to offer snooze options but have yet to see any snooze button. Any ideas why the google calendar app doesn't offer snooze for me but supposedly does for many others?
I would also love to know if there is a way to change the default snooze to 10 minutes instead of five
Hi everyone, i've a Gear Fit and a LG L9II with Gear Fit Manager and Gear Fit Fitness apk, all works perfectly except the alarm clock that works only on the mobile phone and not on gear fit (I've already activated notifications from Clock on gear fit manager settings).
Can anyone help me?
The alarm function only works on Samsung devices. There is no work around yet AFAIK

Ok, just today I tried to add an event to my google calendar with the same wake-up time that I need, the notification reaches the gear fit , is there a way to extend the calendar notification time as if it is an alarm clock ?
(sorry for my english)

you can set the event to recur every day, so it will work like an alarm.
Hi all,
I just got my Stratos and got a few questions wich I can't find here...
Running latest 2.3.7.
- I receive all my notifications double on my watch, no matter if it's Gmail, Outlook, Linkedin, Whatsapp etc etc. I only have the Amazfit app installed, nothing more.
- I there a way to adjust date format to EU standard (dd-mm-yyyy)?
- How can I add other sports/activities? I made one in the app but it doesn't show up in the watch. I want to track my Hiit training sessions like Les Mills Gritt (on fitbit yuo can use kickboxing or aerobis for this).
- I want to use the watch to control my music on my phone/tablet. Sometimes the music controller shows up in the watchface after swiping up but sometimes not and nitifications show up. How to call it in front?
- Every few seconds the watchface seems locked and I have to press middle button and after that upper before I can swipe the screen. Can you make this more easy?
- On my Garmin and Fitbit if I receive a notification I can see it directly on my watch without pressing buttons. How do I do that with the Stratos? Do I realy need to enter notification menu?
But most annoying for now is the double notification. Hope that someone can explain this to me...
edit: I just notice that the double notification is not exactly the same. If I get an email first notification is the email wich I can tap top open and read the whole email. 2nd notification is only a message with the subject which I can't open further.
edit2: seems like I receive 1 notification with that are emails. and a 2nd one with the email itself. Just recievd 4 mails in 5 seconds. Watch says: 1st notification you have got 4 outlook message. Then I have 4 extra notifications with those email messages.
Maybe it's because of Novalauncher/Teslaunread/Android one on my phone.
- Dateformat is not changeable in WFZ watchfaces, you have to search for an App WF
- No you can't create your own activities.
- music, no clue, don't use it.
- That is the reason why the watch has such a long battery live, if it goes into standby mode the screen is off.
- If you want a Garmin functionality, stay with garmin. This is how it works on the Stratos
Install watch Droid. Use that for all your notifications and to control music on the phone.

In the Amazfit app you can make an sport. Howcome you can't import it to the watch, whats the use of that function then.
It's a sports watch but gym activities like weight lifting or cardio are not included.
My fitbit also uses the standby modus, but aftre flicking the wrist (like the stratos) it comes to live and unlocks itself. No need to push buttons.
I just wanted to try something different the Garmin and Fitbit and this one looked stylish for daily wear.
I hope I can sort the notifications out. That and sports are the mean reason I use a smart sport watch.

Just installed it.
Is there an easy way to get in the notifications from watch droid?
I get around a notification every minute (busy job...)
You could install quick launcher so that you have easy access to watch Droid from the watch screen, but it interferes with custom keyboards if you're using those.
Alternately the paid version of watch Droid allows a notification to also be created within the watch notifications, which you can click to open the larger notification in watch droid

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try that out...
I also am a sportinstructor and wanted to use the watch to start/stop the music on my ipad while teaching the class.
That mostly work (can't find out when it does and when it doesn't) but it's not working when I track the excersice in sport on the watch. Then you can't control the music.
Is there any way to control the music (on Ipad) when you are inside a sport activity?
Also I'm still missing a way to track my Hiit training sport activity. In some video's etc I see aerobics as an activity. That one I can use. But it's not in my stratos.
Haven't figured how to change music on the phone during an activity unfortunately.
Stratos doesn't have an option to track HIIT. Some people have reported using elliptical to track gym workouts, but I've not tried that
