[Q] How to clear messages/notifications? - Sony Smartwatch

I'm quickly building up a huge number of emails and messages that I've dealt with on my phone but then have to manually delete from the watch. I appreciate that one can clear all data from each notification type, using Smart Connect on the phone, but I'd love to find an app or a command that would automatically clear all data (messages, notifications, etc), say every 24 hours or so. Or failing that, at least something which would allow a quick, more elegant way of manually clearing the watch. Can anybody recommend anything? Many thanks.

You could use the Smartwatch2 app on the smartphone, enter the menu of each SW2 installed app and tap Clear all events, Clear history or Clear log, etc.
It's not really comfortable but at last you don't have to perform this operation directly on the SW2.

Thanks. Yeah, that's what I'm doing at the moment, through Smart Connect on the phone. But I just counted; in order to clear email, messaging and Facebook requires 17 commands. It really does surprise me that a more elegant system is not built into the watch. Surely everyone who owns the watch wants to be able to clear away (or to have cleared away) messages as they're finished with. Most odd.

You go into the notification app in your smartwatch then push the menu button and after the option to clear all the notifications (the open letter).

What exactly do you mean by "the notification app"? If you mean the little orange circle that indicates new notifications; those disappear anyway as soon as they've been looked at. But the notifications still remain on the watch, so one still has two go into each app in turn (email, text messages, Facebook, etc) and clear them. However, pressing the open letter does nothing at all. The notifications remain. The only way I can find of deleting anything with the watch is message-by-message, individually, including confirmation step. Or, as in my first post in this thread, data can be deleted using the phone through the "Smart Connect" app.

I didn't understand that you wanted to clear all the datas (and not the notifications) in the watch's apps.
In that case, yes you must do on the phone through the smart connect app.

Thanks. I guess it's the term "notifications" that's confusing. What I want to clear, regularly, preferably automatically, are my email messages, text messages, and Facebook messages, so that those apps are empty. What I'm hoping to find is an app or a macro command that will either clear those messages automatically, or will allow me to do so in one go, rather than - as is the case at the moment - app by app through Smart Connect.

[APP][ROOT][2.3+] CamaMind tools for missed call

Hi,
I have a Htc Desire with Android 2.3.5 (rooted) and the problem with clear or cancel missed call notification (MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission) with alternative dialer app (go contacs,Angel Dialer).
So I develop a simple app that is configurable for intercept missed call, launch customizable notification with reminder and go to default dialer phone resetting system missed call notification.
But for this target, the app must install under /system/app, otherwise, as a normal app, the 'clear missed call' is not functionally. I use SSHDroid or ES File Explorer for copy apk in system/app e run install.
Reboot your phone.
I have tested this app only on my device. It's my first app, but is working for my case.
who is proposed as a beta test?
thank you very much
Manny
Notes
I'm not responsable for any damage provided by this application.
Probably some bugs left, provided for testing purpose.
Functionality
Cancel missed call notification if you use alternative dialer app
Repeating alarm for missed call (Sound, Vibration, Led)
Repeating alarm for new SMS (Sound, Vibration, Led)
Requirement
root
Installation
Just copy CamaMind.apk under /system/app
Changelog
2.0 : Complete code review for bug fixing (or for add new bugs?!?). Please feedback me.
Thanks, it is working great with the ROM in my sig. and exDialer!
Only think I would like to ask to fix, is that when pushing back button after viewing missed call log, it first returns in CamaMind menu and I have to push back button again to clear display.
wow, way too much permissions for what the app is doing:
- SMS?
- Internet?
- Contacts?
- Standby Mode?
Please provide some feedback on why you need all these permissions.
Hi,
I want to tell you that I did not believe that the application was being used (we hope).
I fixed the bug reported by Jolas.
Report for permission:
for monitoring call and sms in input : READ_PHONE_STATE
for reset missed call: MODIFY_PHONE_STATE
for open calls log: READ_CONTACTS
for led in stand-by : WAKE_LOCK
for receive and open sms apps: READ_SMS | RECEIVE_SMS
Thanks all.
Manny
Thanks, but what about internet?
I really don't see why the app has to connect to the internet...

Sorry geenyous, in the version 1.5.1 I have remove the Internet permission.
Perhaps I was abused a few copy-paste too!!

No LED Notification
I tested your app but I had to delete it again, when it is active I don't get LED notifications for missed calls (haven't tested SMS).
Also I have to tap the notification 2 or more times to have the other, call notification cleared, which is not that bad, but still annoying for an app that should make things easier, but the no LED is critical for me.
I think you go in a good direction, some more tweaks (settings to turn on/off SMS notif for example, bugs as mentioned above) and your app might be very helpful once finished, it really is very annoying to have to clear the notification when not using stock dialer!
another method of clearing missed calls notifications with other than stock dialer is described here and is working very well:

In theory, the LED should light blue color. On my device the LED lights green, but lights! Becomes blue until after the second round notification, and if I clicked on the default notification of missed calls. Can you make a test?

Sorry for not coming back to you earlier.
I have now tested your app again and the notification LED works as well as the implementation to choose not to run when an SMS is coming is great!
Only issue I still have, and this is kind of a real dealbreaker, is that your app seams to work only one time.
I miss a call, I get 2 notifs, yours and from phone, i click on yours, both get cleared and I am in my phone app (dialer2), so far so good. Now, when I get another missed call, I again get both notifications, but when I click on yours my phone app opens but it doesn't clear your nor the phone notification. I have to manually clear them (as is the case without your app).
The next missed call, the phone notification says 2 missed calls and yours is there as usual, again not clearing when clicking on it. After I go into yout apps settings and disable and enable it, all works again for one time...
If you sort out this issue, then your app would be perfect for me!

push notifications not working

I haven't ever recieved a push notification! Neither in whatsapp nor in any other application, except in facebook, though they were late and i deactivated them (in facebook)... settings are ok.. what should I do? I own a lumia 710 with the software up-to-date
Do you normally enable "battery saver" mode on your phone? Doing that blocks push notifications.
Do you run the apps that you're expecting push notifications for? If an app doesn't run for a long time, it *may* lose the ability to receive notifications.
Do you have a ton of notification-enabled apps? There's a limit on the number of notification channels, first-come-first-served, although it should be high enough.
Do you have the apps pinned to your Start screen? Many notifications merely update the app's tile, rather than popping a toast message; you won't see that if they aren't pinned.
What apps have you tried? For example, I use IM+, a chat program, and it receives notifications just fine and within seconds of when the IM is sent.
1) no
2) so.. yes i run them, and sometimes in the first ten minutes after i run them i recieve notifications (for example whats app), but i can't open whats app every ten minutes otherwise notifications would be useless :/
3) nono, two or three
4) yes
5) whatsapp, london 2012 (it should advise me when my country gets a medal or when my country races for a medal), and viber for now
The only other steps that come to mind are to:
First, try disabling push notifications in the app, then reboot the phone, then re-enable push notifications.
Second, remove the apps, reboot the phone, and then re-install them (and of course re-enable push).
Third, hard-reset your phone (I realize this is an extreme step, but if you get this far I don't know of anything else).
I don't use any of those apps myself, but I do use others and have not experienced the kinds of problems that you are describing.
no solution yet?
hello im having the same issue yesterday my whats app & viber were working properly and i was receiving Push notifications like always, but then i noticed that i was not receiving messages and i opened the whatsapp and viber, surprise no push notifications.
Is this OS error? or Whats app error? Viber?

You're welcome; I'm glad that worked for you! You may also need to periodically open the app to keep the notification channel open.
I'm here again, i noticed that since the problem has been solved in "Settings > applications > background tasks > advanced" "WhatsApp" has apperead, before it wasn't there. So if anyone had the same problem i'd suggest to check if Whatsapp is actually running in the background, if not it is probably installed wrong, so reinstall it
Thanks again and sorry for my bad english

Removing notifications after seeing them on watch

Hey all!
I use watchit to display my notifications from my phone to my smartwatch..
i just wanted to ask, is there a way to make it act this way.
This way being:
. For example, when someone sends me a whatsapp message, usually, it displays a whatsapp icon at the top of my phone. With my phone, it still does that as well as watchit sending a notification to my phone.
Is there a way, so when i SEE the notification on my SMARTWATCh, it will clear the notification on my PHONE so they don't appear at the top. Kinda like, mark as read via smartwatch!
I hope i made sense
Thanks in advance

If only !!
I would like this too ... but even worse is the reverse. if you have a few messages on your phone the notifications build up on your watch and there is no easy way to dismiss all notifications .. you have to manually read (or swipe as fast as you can) every message in the list ... very pre-historic and should be addressed !!

email app work around?

Does anyone know a workaround for using the stock email app. I absolutely hate using it but I can't get the correct notifications and things to work on my watch if I don't. I was using Aquamail on my phone but it doesn't really work on the watch very well. This thing need root! My Huawei is fun but I do like the S3 better.
I use Nine Outlook for Android, it plays very well with both Tizen and Android Wear. I don't create emails from my watch but when I get an email that comes in on Nine I can delete/mark as read/flag for follow up/show on phone/clear/reply/reply all. I mostly either mark as read or delete the emails. I occasionally respond.
It works great. If you are looking to create an email you can't do it with Nine on the watch.
I use my mail app, which has all my email account in one app.
To see the notifications I use an app called notification wear.
Once installed you get all the notifications for email, whatsapp, facebook and so on. It also stores your recieves messages so you reply to them. I like the stock notification where once you have opened it, it's gone.

What isn't explained too well is how to delete a message.
So I'll try to explain.
For example, if you receive a whatsapp message. You swipe left once to read, you can then scroll up and down.
Swipe left twice to reply, you can rely by typing or voice.
To delete that message. Go back to 1st screen of the message and swipe right.
When you receive a message, it stores the sender. So you can reply at any time.
Just one major drawback. When you turn off the watch, you loose all contacts that messaged you. So you need to wait till they send again and then it is stored until your restart your watch.

I downloaded and installed it yesterday on my S3 Frontier. I had high hopes as I've been looking for a way to display notifications from my default mail app on my Samsung phone - which is Aquamail - and the problem is that sometimes new email notifications come up on the watch and other times they don't - there's just no consistency. But frankly this Notifications Wear app is awful.
Firstly, it doesn't actually integrate with the native notifications interface on the S3 watch (which is found by turning bezel anti-clockwise from home screen) but instead the notifications come in via its own app on the Gear, so you have to run that. An then the app interface itself is awful. Looks like it was designed by a 2 year old. The first line or two of the notification displays in a tiny letterbox style space. And it's also not intuitiave at all how to read them fully. I kept accidentally deleting notifications completely by swiping right after tapping on the notifications. The app developer also doesn't seem to have even settled on the name of his app. The app logo calls it "Notifications Wear Style" but the app title is "Notifications Style Gear S2/S3". On your watch it displays app name as "NWS S2". And you have to install the separate app on your phone - which is not of course a problem in ittself - it's just that again the app is hideous. I can honestly say this is the most amateur looking and poorly designed app I've EVER seen!
I don't have such a problem with it. Yes it does not interact with the native notification but I turn it off and just accept this app. As long as you receive the notification it does not matter if it's the native app or not.
As you I made the mistake of swiping right and deleting everything but once I realised what I was doing I easily adapted. I can use the bezel instead of swiping to see the message, reply or delete.
Correct the first screen is a small window of the message, turn the bezel or swipe to the left for the full message and you can scroll up and down to read it all.
There is an option to change the font size if it's too big or small.
It could do with better instructions, once you get the hang of it, it's easy.
Receive message notification :
Swipe left once to read, twice to reply.
Delete is swipe right.
I use MY MAIL for my emails. I have Hotmail, Gmail and yahoo,i receive all of them.
As for the appearance, yes it could be much better, but is there another app that can do better than this?

Maye there is not a better app available, but I am trying to use this on on a phone which costs 350 - 400 dollars depending where you buy it, so I don't want an app on the phone that looks like it was designed by a two year old. Sorry but it's just awful.
For me, functionality comes before appearance and its not that bad.
When I receive a whatsapp message, the background is of the photo from the sender.
When I receive an email it's just plain black.
The issue I have is when you turn your watch off and you loose all messages and contacts. Messages I don't mind loosing so much as they are still stored on the phone. But I'd like to have my contacts stored on the watch.
Until someone comes up with a better alternative then I'm happy using this one.

Notifications problems...

Hi guys,
I don't know if it's Oreo or the Nubia X, but a lot of apps don't show me notifications : Messenger, Snapchat, Candy Crush, TypeMail...
My clock app doesn't ring, and I have a message when I open it after (app forced close).
All those apps has been manually optimised in the battery settings.
An idea ?
I have problems with that too. And my apps always fall asleep, even my phone app, which means when people call me, I don't get the phone calls unless I turn on my phone and suddenly my missed calls and messages show up.
For my WhatsApp, Gmail and Yahoo Mail, even worse. I literally have to open those apps to check if I got new messages or emails.
Go to app info/permission/notifications and enable one by one all notifications you need.

Same thing happens to me. Authorized all the notifications, even set them to urgent. Still no luck
it's not enough guys. You have to go in apps info, permission managment and also power management and give permission to everything.
Go also in accessibility /downloaded services and activate the launcher to ON.
At the end, as for mine, all notifications will work.
Hello,
I have the same issue I rooted my phone its v2.19. Notifications work for 10 mints if I have the app running in the background, apps like gmail and YouTube crash after sometime of use.
I allowed all notifications and permissions and power management, it seems like its only the apps that rely on google play services.
I am not sure if this is a common issue...
I have noticed that some notifications will not come through unless wifi is connected, but after some time of having the screen off, notifications stop working. My email notifications will not come through or show on my lockscreen unless my wifi connection is active, regardless of whether or not my data is turned on.
