This all new app fills an annoying hole in Android Lollipop's lock screen notification system. It's nice, it's shiny, but you always need to push that damn power button. This app does it for you, and also respects quiet times and whether or not your device is in your pocket.
It also does this:
recurring notifications (screen on and/or sound)
emulate LED notifications that the system lockscreen no longer shows
Double-tap to lock function for lockscreen
custom lockscreen display time
lockscreen lock-on-cover function
At the same time the app is completely for free and without ads!

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm an ACDisplay user on an S4 but it doesn't seem to stay active the notification allowed so I'll try this.

thanks for this, it works well
only problem I found is that pocket detection doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy S6

Yes, been using that one (and others) as well, but I always wondered why everybody wants to reinvent the lockscreen. I'm using a pattern lock and found none of the existing solutions to work well.

Strange. So, have you observed the screen turning on even if the proximity sensor is covered?
I plan on adding an extension to the pocket mode to cover the following use case: if the phone is pocketet or face down and you hear a notification, you typically take the phone and see what happened. Then I want it to turn on, but not necessarily everytime I take it out of my pocket. So something like "if coming out of pocket AND last notification less than N seconds ago -> turn on screen".
Perhaps we can sort your issues with the sensor out on the way.

yes, I covered the proximity sensor and sent the test notification and the screen turned on
I tried a different app that does basically the same like yours and it has the same problem, so maybe it's something related to Samsung?

Linked here from the OP's comment in the ACDisplay xda portal article. Looking very nice so far. Only feature I miss from ACDisplay is the active mode, i.e. screen on when removed from pocket, regardless of notification. This is a great way to keep power button use down, especially for devices like the N5 with known hardware button failures.

Yeah I already assumed people will want that and I'm planning to cover this use case as well. Personally, when I had apps working like that in the past I found it a bit annoying that everytime I took out the phone to put it like on the table it turned on (even if there were pending notifications). That's why I thought about how I could narrow down the logic to be more useful.

Well, I have to say, this is a great app. The only thing it needs is the black list feature, that would really create a full circle of usability and applicability.

Thanks. Well, as a matter of fact I started out with having a black list and found that to be less useful than just marking the few notification sources I'm actually interested in (like Mail, SMS, WA). I'll think about throwing in a switch to configure black/white list behaviour, but it's not top of the list TBH.

Big oops here - I just realized that for the testing notification, I skip all the other checks because I figured it would confuse people if the other other filters prevented the test. Turns out the way I did it it confused us all. I'm going to change that in the next version (which is taking shape).

Yeah, I can understand your point, but a black list, in addition to allowing users to block apps whose notifications they don't consider important/desirable, would also allow users to block out any app/process/service that Glimpse may report about, such as 'wireless networks available', you know, things from Android system or System UI, whose notifications just drain the battery without any real purpose.
But hey, it's just a suggestion, it's totally up to you what gets implemented.
Great app nevertheless..

Could it be possible that instead of whole screen being lit up, only the area where notification is shown is lit up in black and white color? Just like active display ?

Gear S2 Vibrating & Notification Issues.

Anyone else not getting the vibration when a notification comes in on the gear S2? Mine won't vibrate all the time. At first I had always on screen set to on and I never got a notification. I shut it off and started getting them. Now I'm not getting just the vibration. But if I swipe to the side the notifications are there. Non Samsung phone. 
It seems like the watch when the screen is off goes into a sleep mode and doesnt wake up for the notification. What gives?
See my google+ post https://plus.google.com/communities/111224177903657805607

Had two random reboots today and the screen froze up as well. This POS is going back to best buy. Samsung cant get there **** together.

Always on mode doesnt work at all. Watch goes to sleep it seems and doesnt wake up with notifications. This is overall junk.

I had the exact same issue. The vibration issue coupled with a battery that went from 100% to 0% in less than 5 hours, normal use.
I have 12 days to return. I hope Samsung pushes an update within 12 days. I really like the hardware and UI, but it's just so damn buggy.

I have no such issues you guys are describing. I have a black S2. It's paired to a Galaxy S6 Edge.

If I don't have the always on clock showing on the watch I will not get any notification. Using it with a One Plus 2. If the screen is on I will get nothing. The screen has to be off and in the always on mode or else it doesnt work. I just got a email and my watch did ****. I hate this ****ing ****.

maybe a little of topic but cause its about vibration i thought i could post here
i have no issue with my watch not vibrating at least not as far as i know.
i was just wondering if i can change vibration patterns. i know i can change the strength but the quick 3 times vibration is a bit annoying. i would like to change it so something else.
also the vibration on AW was better in my opinion because it resembled the pattern that was set on the phone for that specific notification

The only thing you can change about vibration, in addition to off/weak/strong, is long buzz or not.

Wait .. is the gear s2 screen supposed to turn on and show a preview of the notification when you get one?
My s2 has simply been vibrating when a notification comes in and there is no change on the screen. I thought that was normal and also thought it was a silly way to design it
If i get a notification right now, I need to wake up the watch, swipe to the left screen and then click it to show details - a lot of moves

You have to set that in the settings.

yeah that's right isn't it. i got the same settings. hopefully there will be more options in a future update

My S2 will vibrate and light up (turned that on in settings) for incoming Texts and Phone Calls every time.
BUT for all other notifications it will not. When I get Google Now alerts or score updates from the ESPN app nothing happens. I am using the Modern face with one of the complications set to Notifications, and that will show me that I do have notifications but what use is that? Unless I look at the watch face to see the time I will never know I received these notifications. If I get a notifications I would like for it to alert me with a vibration. Every time, of all apps I choose.
Does this with a Sony Z3 Compact as well as a Xiaomi Mi4c both running 5.1.1.

This watch is a bust because I tested mine with my moto 360 2nd gen. The Gear S2 didnt get all notification if the screen was off. If it was showing the always on clock it would vib and show. Samsung needs to fix this ASAP. This is a watch that needs to tell me every notification I want.

Have you tried a Light or Factory reset of your S2? That fixed it for me, that or reinstalling the Gear app. I did both so, can't actually confirm which did it. Not having any problems getting all notifications.

I think you need and easy button, or try setting,if you can't find it , I can't help you

I have two of these and both do the same. Won't get notifications if the screen is off and not showing the always on clock. Using it with a note 5.

i have another issue. dont know it its the watch or the gear manager app. i wont get notifications for specific apps. the checkmark in the gear app wont stick. e.g. the greader app. also there are not all apps found in the gear manager app. does anyone know why thats so. for example the chrome app does not show in in notifications in the gear app.

Yes,
I have done both as well as switched phones and started from scratch. No notification vibration for anything but Text's and Phone Calls.

Is there a solution for this, or does my watch have to go back to the store. I'm "upgrading" from a pebble, but if I can't get a vibration to notify me of a new email, then it's a non-starter. It seems to me that I get vibrations for notifications on apps that were set up by default. But I'm not getting vibrations on any additional (third party) apps. I use e-notify and aquamail, none of these vibrate on notification. I saw on another forum that the phone must be set to vibrate for it to work, but I've tried this, and still nothing.

Is there a program that will allow me to get reminders? I use Touchdown as my regular calendar and I think I can use my Samsung calendar just for reminders but can't get S Voice to work from the GS2. Google Reminders is the best thing going. Of course, I can't feel the viberation but...

Korean Firmware update November 20 2015

Well Korea got another firmware update this morning. The update never gave details but here is what I've found so far:
In the settings under Device, there is now an "Auto open apps" option. Basically when you scroll through your apps list, whatever app you stop on will automatically open.
Also in the settings under "connections" there's an alert option now to be notified via vibration when disconnected from your phone.
Under the display setting there's now a screen timeout option. 15 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, or 5 minutes.
Also some bloatware was added. Apps added were a world clock, starbucks, a korean navigation app, and the flipboard news briefing app. There's also a few watchfaces added, nothing new, same ones shown at the initial unveiling. All of them can be uninstalled thankfully.
There's a notification indicator option now also in display. It will make a little orange circle appear on your watchface until you've viewed the notification. Only works if you don't have notifications set to automatically turn on your screen in the Gear Android app.
When reading the text of a notification, it will make the font larger if you double tap the screen.
Cosmetic differences:
now says "add widget" under the + symbol when you scroll all the way right.
On a notification, when you swipe up to dismiss, it now shows a trash can.
For a notification reply, the emoji symbol has been replaced with a more traditional circle happy face.
When you scroll right on the watchfaces menu there's an option to "Add template" now. It then lets you choose from the watchfaces that can be stylized and make a new face from them.

I noticed small cosmetic changes inside the S-health app, but nothing else beyond that. I've found nothing related to sleep monitoring.
Also checked yesterday to see if a reminder can be set using S-Voice, and that is also still broken.

I can't believe they didn't map the top button to toggle most recent app... it's so annoying having to go back to the app screen to get to your music app while running... the button is basically wasted without a double click or long press option.
I glad they brought back the vibrate when disconnected function.

In SHealth I'm able to swipe/twist to the right and get to the music controller, which then returns to SHealth when I press the back button.

Coming from Pebble I expected apps to be persistent and not just to have the watch exit home to the watchface everytime the display times out. It's really nice to have a persistent app for a music player. I could adjust the track or volume without looking at my wrist. And it's also greatly needed for the stopwatch. A settings option for persistent apps would be great.

My Gear app updated this morning, I see no change in the watch. The app on the phone has a whole new layout, but nothing has changed on the watch. Still shows the same J3 software version. I rebooted the watch and nothing. Do I have to reboot my phone? I hate to try this as it always breaks my weather app and I have to totally uninstall all gear apps on the phone and factory reset the watch to get it working again.

If it's not a Korean Watch, just be patient. The app was updated, but they have not pushed the new firmware out to the rest of the world. To confirm this, go to Settings->About Gear->Update Gear Software->Update now.

Ah, I understand now. Thanks, got to excited to soon.

display time out
So I got the update on my classic watch, there is 5 new watchfaces.
There is also a new option on the display settings so now you can choose the time from 15 sec up to 5 min.
If i set the display timeout on 5 min it's nothing change...
So I do not understand what the problem is or the new options mean???
Could anyone help me?

You guys are lucky.
In korea some devices that are updated got stuck at booting logo.
I think it will be soon fixed and then you can get this update.

I agree there should be a long press top button feature. The way I deal with this problem is I set long press home to the music player. Then to access apps you press home then press home again.

Encrypted Phone
So I have the Nexus 5X, aka phone is encrypted.
My watch is from Korea and the app does have an update, but I get the error message that it cannot install because phone is encrypted. Any solutions?

My Gear Fit, which isn't actually Tizen, but resembles it a bit, has an option for what you want to do after timeout - return to watch face, or remain on last app. Very handy, and Samsung could certainly add this option, since they already know how it works.

New Features coming with Tizen version 3.0

https://www.sammobile.com/2017/10/21/5-reasons-why-tizen-3-0-for-samsungs-smartwatches-rocks/

"With Tizen 3.0, you can turn off the bezel wake function to prevent the ring from waking up the screen." ?

Watch only mode.
I would be very interested to know how accurate the S3 would be in watch only mode.
Presumably, in watch only mode, the device would have no phone or network connection so would not be able to auto-update itself?

I thought the interval setting (e.g. Permanent) for pulse measurement is also included in Tizen 3? At least on Gear Sport and Fit2 Pro it's included.

I don't understand what new functionally the watch only mode brings. The S3 can be put in airplane mode. This turns off cellular, WiFi, and BT, thus making the watch an island unto itself. It's not completely dumb, apps not requiring connectivity still work (ie. stopwatch, HR monitor, calendar, S Pay) and previously inputted data is still available. In this mode, the battery will last for several days. The biggest drain will be the watch face.
BTW, auto updates can be turned off. It's a setting in the Gear Manager app.

we are still waiting tizen 3

IMHO we have to wait longer...
Not expect too "soon".
If we have luck then maybe as Xmas "gift" in late December.
Best Regards

I'm not launching nuclear missles or solving the national debt so most of the upgrades don't impact me. Mine does what I want it to do now and I'm afraid an "improvement" will screw up a good thing. A new OS is a risk just to get rid of the little clock on the top when I'm in Standalone.

In watch only mode, the watch can last for several weeks, not just several days.

unfortunately they forgot to mention a terrible new feature: notifications are instantly dismissed by the sleep gesture.
the watch has a "wake up" gesture which wakes the screen when you turn your wrist to look at it, but enabling it would already force the inverse on you as well.
turning your watch away from your face(or towards you while not in an upright standing position, which is why it's such a failure) will make it go back to sleep.
this was annoying enough before version 3, but now this will also dismiss notification pop-ups.
this means the watch now frequently keeps marking new notifications as read and dismissing them before I even get a chance to read them.
so I receive a notification, I turn my wrist to look at it, and I'm presented with my watchface with no notification or unread-marker.
so now whenever I receive a notification I have to rotate the bezel or swipe into the notification history to see the notification, when I should just be able to see it instantly.

I was under the 2.3.2.4 version. I am to go under the 2.3.2.3 version and the miracle the update 3.0.0.1 came fast in case for information

UA Record issue with Tizen 3
It also broke UA Record app. After update UA started, pause button worked (used for my rest between set of exercises performed in gym) but when I tried to use Resume button - application stopped and I had back again my watchface. No exercises recorded. So I decided to reinstall app and what? App is freeezing on it's start screen and after few minutes I have ma watchface back again. Till now it was the only app used by my so often and now it's a sh...t. Does anytime Samsung have to spoil good working things?
Update. Wow. today is working. However another issue - I tried to add new widget in a Quick panel and what? I have message "Installing ... " since two hours and nothing more

Any ideas on how to modify the versa so that you can substitute calendar, weather or something else for the "Today" app (slide up)?

Hi, AFAIK the Today screen is integrated in the Fitbit OS and cannot be removed/replaced. In order to get a calendar of weather on your Versa, you have to install them on your Versa from within the Fitbit App. The weather app is by Fitbit itself and the Calendar is a Third party app.
regards, kuzibri

Clock Faces
Hi all, you can change the standard Clock Face on your Versa to your own liking by downloading other Clock faces. To do that, you will need to install the Fitbit App on your phone and setup the Versa on your phone. How to do that, see: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en...Topics:Getting_Started&p=versa&fs=Search&pn=1. Once you clicked the link, got to "Trackers and Watches" and follow the intructions for your particular device, Android, iPhone and Windows 10 devices. More information about this, will be soon posted.

Just bought my Versa and looking into wristbands. I have a Blaze now and use a silicone band that the watch just pops into the rubber cradle. Is there a similar band out there for the Versa?

Hi, have a look at this site: https://www.miniinthebox.com/index....ion=0&prm=2.1.62.0&keyword=Fitbit+Versa+bands and you will see "tons" of bands for the Versa.

Hi all, as earlier stated, I would keep you informed about Clock Faces for the Versa. I've found a clock face that's not only very beautiful but also very functional, heavily customizable and by it's size is also very battery friendly. My Versa, with this clock face lasts at least 5 days with this clock face, See this link,
Copy and paste the link into the browser on your mobile device: https://gam.fitbit.com/gallery/clock/364a8989-6105-4418-93aa-10a4e55775ea where the Fitbit app is installed. Or use XDA Labs on your mobile device.
Thiis is how it looks on my device after total customization (however the photo shows a blue background, imagine that's is dark black!!)
Here are two photo's off how this face looks on my Versa (mind that although the photo shows, for whatever reason, a blue background, imagine that it's dark black on my Versa)
Main display:
Stats Screen (sorry for the blurry image):
On the stats screen, you'll see from top to bottom, besides battery - time -date: Steps - Floors - Calories - Distance - Active Minutes and HR.

Hi There,
I just bought the Versa Lite yesterday and tried to set it up with my essential Ph-1 runing Android 9 Pie. Now the issue is i can receive all notifications on watch from the phone except the Calls, Missed calls and Voicemails . I tried all troubleshooting tips mentioned in forums, so i would like to ask here to see if any knew or came across this sort of issue.

Hi, the problems you're facing are the result of the fact that your mobile device is not in the list of supported devices by Fitbit. See: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2315/?q=compatible&l=en_US&fs=Search&pn=1. Scroll down to "Android devices"and press it. you will not find your phone in this list, sorry. Kind regards, kuzibri

hi Thanks for the reply, Actually after doing some many tricks and tips for it to work. I finally made it working by doing the watch Factory resetting. Then after setup gave up almost 4-5 hours then started working the incoming call notifications. I really dont know why it needs that many hours for it to work. But now i left it as is as i am not sure what has helped me in making it to work.

Hi, glad that you got it to work. That it takes soo long to finish the setup procedure is the result of the fact that this is done via BT. I usually do this via WiFi and then it takes about 30-45 minutes. Kind regards, kuzibri

Clock Faces
Hi guys,
promised you to keep you all updated with new news about the Versa. Well there is:
there is a new, very beautiful and highly customizable Clock Face avaliable for the Versa. Although it's a payed one ($1.5 after a trial period of 30 hours, it worth every penny of it. Yo can change the home display from analog to digital by pressing on the bottom of the home display. By tapping the top of the home screen, you wil get the stats screen, with all the needed stats. See:
https://gallery.fitbit.com/details/5f05513e-568b-4993-92b7-783373d6c8a1. Try it out and you will be in no time addicted to this Clock Face, just like me. The size is only 17 kB which makes it very battery friendly. My Versa lasts 5 days on one charge with this Clock Face.
kindest regards, kuzibri

I have a OnePlus 6t 8\256 just got the versa music controls don't work or show up. The watch showed up in Bluetooth settings as 2 different watches versa normally and all functions work except music controls, if I put the watch in it's settings Bluetooth pair it showed up as versa classic music controls work when paired this way but as soon as you do anything else with the watch or Fitbit app it goes back to the versa Bluetooth pairing and music controls stop working just purchased yesterday. also when you are paired to the versa classic Bluetooth you can work the music controls but it doesn't show the right song on your watch face

Fitbit Versa ISSUE - Data not cleared Sync & try again
Hello all!
I would like to ask for some help if possible or if anyone have any idea how to rescue my Fitbit Versa.
Few days ago on my Fitbit Screen it pops up a message "Unlock with your phone"
Because i am not so into what Fitbit app offers i didn`t know that you can do this from the app on your phone, i messed up the watch.
As follow i tried to connect to my computer on fitbit app there by adding a device, but when the app it prompts the 4 square field to input the 4 digits code generated into your Versa screen i was unable to read as always it pops up the same message "Unlock with your phone" and i cannot bypass it.
When i see that i tried on my phone app from Fitbit but there was the same issue, so i deleted the device from the app. And like this it started the "party" been unable to add the Fitbit to the phone app nor to the computer app.
I was asking for help on Fitbit site on a forum and someone told me to do some steps
1. Delete from any Bluetooth pairing your watch.
2 Turn off the Bluetooth on devices (mobile phone, computer and who knows maybe any other pairing connections).
3. Turn off the devices that were paired with your watch, after you undertake the steps 1 and 2.
4 Turn on one of the device, and turn on the Bluetooth to pair with the watch.
5 Try and add it again the watch (device) to the app - FAILED - as the watch still pops up on screen "Unlock with your mobile phone"
If the above steps fail try and do a hard reset by holding down all 3 buttons for about 10 seconds (more or less) and when the Fitbit logo show on watch , release the bottom right button , continuing to hold the top right and middle left buttons pressed until there is a vibration.
By doing so i was expecting the watch will reboot to factory settings, instead it pops up now DATA NOT CLEARED. SYNC & TRY AGAIN and from this screen i cannot go anywhere no matter how many times i try the hard reset method.
So from yesterday i am looking at one piece of garbage that cost me 170 pounds 2 years ago because i am unable to restart it. and i have no idea if there is a fix.
If here is anyone skilled to tell me how can i reboot this bloody watch to can use it again i would be thankful. i was thinking maybe there is any software that we can install in computer and by connecting the Fitbit charger USB to the computer to can flash the software again, like we can do on Android phones, to put any firmware we like. :fingers-crossed::crying:
Any help would be appreciated!
