Shift worker app

Does anyone know what shift worker app is the best on the android market? I rely on these apps to plan my months and the one I used to use on my iPhone doesn't appear to be available. Any help would be really appreciated!!

I just bit the bullet and entered all my shifts into Google Calendar. My shift pattern repeats after 10 weeks, so although it took me a little while to get those first ten entered, the "repeat every xx...." function in Calendar means I never have to mess around with it again.
Also, having it in my calendar means that Google Now can give me reminders when to leave for work early if, for instance, the traffic is bad that day.
Plus, if I ever move away from Android (unlikely) then my Calendar can come with me, no issues - rather than facing the same problem which you have now.
To actually display my calendar I like Calendar Pad's widget. Also I have Calendar Status Pro in my notification shade, which is handy because I have a constant reminder of calendar appointments every time I pull down the shade.
I'm always interested in trying out new solutions if they can provide better functionality though, so I'd be interested to hear what other people use too

That's an idea I had already contemplated but my shifts change every 5 weeks. I used an app on the iPhone called 'Shift worker' made by a company called production shed. I've emailed them to see if they have the same app available for android but I highly doubt it! Shame a dev couldn't come up with something that we could really make great use of! All the apps I've saw just look mega complicated. Might need to resort to Google calendar though and integrate it with Google now.

Arbeitskalender is also a good app. You can find it in PlayStore. I am sorry, I don't have the link right now.

Sure sorry, the notification in the status bar that's displayed in the top left corner. And were it says Sony smart watch connect/disconnected
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

If you are running 4.1 (I think) and up you can just go into the app info for the Sony smart watch app (not smart connect) and uncheck the "show notifications" box. I have been using my watch like this for a couple months and it works fine.
EDIT
Sorry I didn't see you already knew that. My bad. To answer your actual question no I have had no issues using the watch (SW1) with the notification disabled.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend some good apps for it?

As with most things you will install everything that is available, I only ended up with one third party application, that's watchify

watchify is the priority,it's everything you need on a smartwatch,giving you the access of all your notification
Then you can download watchwidgets to costumize your watchface,and finaly all the other app,if you want

i too got one of this but this not that what i was thinking

Thanks for your replies. Watchify is excellent and am now randomly trying out other apps

For me Watchify is not stable and not respect the normal Sony notification system. I use the standard "Watchit"
and more others app : evernote, google task, any.do, K9 mail notifier, Lunar phase, SMS writer, counter, Cyanax Hiit, app launcher, tasker, call handling, currency converter, shopping list, smartweather, note writer, swp music player, and a lot of widgets and watchface app.

use as phone?

Hi guys, I've got a Note 8.0 and I'm happy with It because I can use It as phone (3G version).
Does the LTE version of the note pro support the phone functionality? Can I use it to make phone calls? Of course I work with bluetooth earphones.
Thank you
Antonio

The answer is yes. I use my Note 12.2 with LTE to make calls, send texts, surf the web, etc. I'm using lg tone bluetooth stereo headset. Works like a champ.

Yes, I've used it (P905) to make phonecalls through my Bluetooth headset and my regular earphones.

Thanks

Does anyone have any experience using this and SideSync with a Galaxy phone? I just realized a couple days ago, while watching an LG presentation, that we probably had a feature that was similar.

Dialer and sms

Can you please give me a run down of how you accomplished this.....

I use an app Called GrooVe IP, since I don't have the LTE version .
Peace and blessings,

The LTE version of the Note 12.2 has basically the same phone dialer, text message, browser, etc. that's found on all Galaxy phones. It's just displayed on a 12.2 screen. Wanna make a call? Tap the phone icon and dial away like you would do on any modern cellphone. Rince and repeat for text messaging, email, web browsing, etc. That's the point of getting the LTE version. It turns the tablet into a giant cell phone and you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, instead of the Samsung Exynos processor to boot.

- Buy the tablet
- Start the tablet
- Open the app drawer.
That's it.
This is full 100% unaltered stock. These apps came pre-installed out of the box.
This is the p905 4G edition, not the p900 WiFi Only. The WiFi only model doesn't have a 3G/4G radio.

Ah, yes. There you have it. US Branded versions are notorious for shortselling their customers in this manner.

Is there any way to get the stock dialer and message on the 907a?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-P907A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The dialer and message apps are already on it you just have to find a way to get them to work. I have the Verizon variant and downloaded a dialer app and when I tried to run it the tablet asked what app to use at default and the dialer app was one of the choices. But it wouldn't run. It is also listed in the app manager under all apps.

If it's listed as an app in the app manager, you could probably add a shortcut to it through Apex or Nova. Or possibly with Zooper Widget, which also has shortcuts to apps.

Quite good but the fps is a little bit low

This is true. Other downside of SideSync: no word gliding for you.
I did discover some upsides, including being able to drag files from my file manager onto it, and opening a movie from my phone that played on my tablet (instant media streaming).
And like an idiot, I still haven't tried placing a call.

Help, no Phone
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I just had major surgery and some problems concentrating
I just purchased the Verizon Note Pro 12 today and there is no phone icon anywhere..
I have searched through every spot on that thing and cannot find it. I have the Note 3 phone and other samsung stuff so I am pretty used to their systems..
..Is there something I need to do special to find this because I am about to having a multi-hundred dollar discus.
Yes it is 4G, yes i have the Sim card inserted, yes it told me my phone number, but no phone or dialer icons exists, and I am supossed to be using this on a trip in a day and a half so would like to know its functions.
Thanks everybody..

I do have that too, and the number of notifications seems to vary between 1 and 3...

ugh isn't it awful?! idk how the hell to fix it.

It's set by Samsung this way to show the first text you received. Sucks

I don't get it though. I'll get only 1 text from someone, but get like 5 notifications for that 1 text.

An update was released yesterday and that seemed to fix the notifications. Well, I don't get the same Kik messages notifications anymore.
