I like to hike and would like the Trail Runner Sport to keep the GPX route displayed instead of going back to the stats page or maybe just stay on whatever view I was last on. Any way to do this? I am rooted and Stockified rom.

Did you try installing PaceOn? I did a quick test actvatying it while on the map and it worked, even while dimming the screen. It will eventually go back to status page tho, but still stays longer on map...

Simply put, here's what I would like:
Have a widget somewhere on my screen. Whenever I wake up and start my day, I click it. It starts the following sequence:
Pops up a notification/alert to eat a specific thing
timer for X minutes
another notification to eat specific thing
timer for x minutes
another notification
etc etc I think you get the picture. Basically I want to be able to program any number of countdown timers in consecutive order with each timer starting when the last reaches zero.
These are not time of day based actions necessarily, but rather time elapsed from whenever it is I got up based, hence the manual initiation of the sequence by way of a button/widget. If I got up at 6am every single day then I would just set alarms for say every 3 hours all day every day, but my schedule is not that consistent.
I'm sure there is an app that does this or a way to automate it, but I cant figure it out.
any thoughts? thanks
I think this is a decent idea if your eating pills. If your talking food, not so much. Wish i did know of an app for this.

Its both, kinda to help me settle into a routine of when to eat and when to take supplements (semi controlled diet for lifting).
Another use would obviously be for people remembering to take meds

If you find the app first let us know, i will do the same.
First off, how can I get rid of the little blue tab on the side with the icon shortcuts. I never use any of them. It would be great to be able to add my own app shortcuts to it but I could not figure out how. I am guessing that these are limited to only ones that are able to do the split screen feature.
Another question is, is there a program that can allow you to use your mouse and keyboard from your PC to control the phone, in a way that I have my phone next to the computer monitor, drag my mouse across over to the side, and the cursor appears on the android screen? Similar to Synergy (PC program)?
Is there a way to keep track of how much data you use over the 4g network? I don't want to go over my 2gigs a month.
I saw on a website that had "top 50 features of the Note2" that it has a feature where you can make the camera track your eyes, so that when you lay in bed, the screen does not rotate. Anyone know about this?
Also, I am pretty new to Android as this is my first smart phone ever. Is there a way to make google reader show pictures from blog artices, instead of having one app for slickdeals (iSlick) or another app for reading lifehacker articles? (Lifehacker unofficial)? I think I would use google reader if it showed pictures.
Has anyone started using Utter!? Seems like a great idea but I did not get very far with exploring it.
Sorry this is a big mess of random questions. Thank you for any input.
PS ~ I tried searching the android forum for how to control with pc mouse and keyboard but was unable to find something. I found AirDroid but i don't think that is what I am looking for.

Press and hold back until it goes away. Press and hold back again to bring it back.

Don't think this is possible the way you describe. They do offer a dock that allows you to plug in a USB keyboard/mouse to control the phone, but you can't have one mouse control both without unplugging it from one and plugging it in to the other.

You can't track JUST 4G usage, but you can track mobile data usage. Go in to Settings and then Data usage. You can even set an alert to warn you when you get close, and a limit that will disable mobile data after so much usage.

This is also in Settings, though under Display. What you're looking for is Smart Rotation. Smart Stay is also there and that keeps the screen on while you look at it.

Google Currents allows you to do news/feed reading. Not sure how it works, but it's listed as an option. Get it in the Play Store.
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
I saw a video on YouTube where the guy uses the computer keyboard on his note 2 but without a mouse. It is the guy who makes those daily note 2 videos.

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.
thx

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!!

Good news, no problem
I have several questions that are frustrating me right now. Just over a week with this watch.
1) I am using the stock 3 dial watch face and want to have the weather dial use The Weather Channel or some other source for the weather besides Google Now. Does anyone know how to do this?
2) Today, the Fly Delta app showed me a boarding pass from last week 4 times. I finally had to block the application from working. What is the mechanism that makes this happen? I want to be able to use the boarding pass when needed, but what possesses it to send the boarding pass on it's own "good will". Especially when the flight was 7 days ago? If I am standing at the gate, what action do I take if the boarding pass isn't there?
3) Google Now keeps sending me notifications to leave for meetings even for appointments that I do not have notifications set up for. I have seen this many times over on older threads. I just want one notification on my watch and it should match what I have setup on my phone. Is there any solutions to this?
It seems that Google now is just running away with my watch. Not a positive experience so far.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I didn't get any responses so I figured I would update based on what I learned since this post

I moved to Pujie Black watch face app and this issue is resolved. Very impressed with this app. Awesome customization and very easy to use. He appears to use other weather sources and they have been rock solid. I would still like to make it the same as the weather app of my choice.

Reboots of both the phone and watch resolved this issue.

I disabled Google Now and it is working much better. The watch mimics the notifications that I have on my phone. For any app that I don't want relayed to my watch, I can block those notifications to my watch. Pretty happy with this setup.
Anyone having any issues?
My forcast is showing the current weather and location but the current conditions seem to be stuck on snow and 11degress even tho its sunny out and 20
Tried re sync etc and it's not changing
Huami is changing weather servers/providers. Some people see the cities only in Chinese, others see a completely wrong information. Try to choose the city manually on phone, if it doesn't work then there is little you can do besides wait for it to be fixed by Huami.

Weather information is getting from Xioami servers by some popular web sites, about which provider do you talking?
I had/have the same with Verge: wrong language (Chinese), detection of cities (locations), wrong temperature (often is incorrect). But I saw in Google app and my manufacturer app is the same. Amazfit using the same sources, so maybe problem is with sources

Me annoying much more update weather process in Verge at all. In phone all weathers apps doing itself automatic that, why in Verge I need all the time to open app and to sync. It's draining battery of watch much more (I have to charge battery of watch every 2-3 days, with sync I have to do much faster) and weather still is not good. About weather temperature I agree it's s...k, but as mentioned will be fixed that by Huami soon.
