Baby monitor app & notifications not working for deaf user - Samsung Gear S3

Hi all,
I'm deaf and recently had a newborn baby - the existing baby monitors for deaf people aren't very effective and due to the massively thick walls of our house, the monitor range only reaches less than 15% of our house and have no coverage in the kitchen & living rooms, the two most important rooms. So I'm looking into using an old smartphone with a baby monitor app. I've found Dormi which seems to work OK, and it shows up notifications in my phone's notification bar, however, nothing comes into the Gear, it keeps saying "No notifications received". I tried a test Whatsapp message and the notification comes up OK, and all other notifications works fine. I've double checked the settings and it shows that the baby monitor app notification for the Gear is enabled?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hey,
I noticed that the notification sync is not always that good and not all notifications are supported.
Notification cannot have the "Ongoing" status (ex. charging your phone) and need to be cancellable (be able to swipe the notification in order to close it).
It seems that the app you are using does not comply with those rules.
You could contact the developers and ask to support the gear OR you could create a flow or task in something like "Automate" to listen for the notification and automatically create a new notification that does sync to the watch.
Regards,
Davey

Maybe can check at your Samsung Gear App-->settings-->notifications-->manage notifications-->dormi is turned on.

Thanks for this! I've already double checked this - it's already enabled and working. Tried turning it off and on again, no change. Thanks for your reply!

Manage your LED notification light fast and easily. No more trying to guess which app or which person demands your attention with random colors.
Features:
Select color by app or by text. Your favorite contacts can have their own color no matter which app they use to contact you.
Handle missed called.
Fine tune blinking speed for each notification.
Lightweight, almost no memory and battery footprint.
This app makes use of Android's 4.3 Notification Listener and thus it must be enabled under Device Settings > Security > Notification Access. It cannot access the internet so your personal data is absolutely safe.
I did all the testing on a Nexus 4 but it should work on any device with a LED. Contact me if something goes wrong on another device.
Thanks for giving it a look!
Totally cool

Thanks! Feel free to send me any suggestions you might have.
Looks promising. Thanks. Can you assign different colors to different Gmail accounts?

I am using the notification toast text to determinate contact names (the text that briefly appears across your status bar when a notification is posted). I never tried multiple gmail accounts, if each account appears in the toast text you can use the 'Text & Contacts' feature to have different colors.
Otherwise it needs special treatment (with extra permissions), I could add this if there is demand.
I tried it on a Nexus 4 (no custom rom, no nothing. I have no apps that interfere with the notification LED), and it's not working correctly. I set Gmail to red and the led still lights up white.

I have fixed that, expect an update this weekend!
Any news on fixing issues surrounding Nexus 4 stock roms? I really want to use this app but it's just not working for me at the moment. Test notifs work fine, but when it actually comes down to real notifs they just don't work.

Just got a gear S3 and got some questions!

Just got one for a father's day gift and I've been using the watch for the past week. Love it, but can't stop feeling that I'm not using it to its full potential. Thought maybe if I got some questions answered here, I would feel better.
1. what's the GPS, Wifi options for on the watch? I don't have GPS on right now, but Wifi is enabled. Not sure what app uses it, but I thought everything was connected to the phone through BT, so didn't need additional connections on the watch. Can someone clarify?
2. The weather app that's pre-installed is slow to refresh...meaning when I travel from city to city, I want to know what the weather is like in the next city (current temp, etc.), but can't for the life of me figure out how to manually refresh current location?
3. I only can read the last message in a string of text messages....is there no way to look at all unread on the watch?
Thanks in advance for your help guys!
Gps: use for workout apps, tracking distance, Mapping, directions. Wifi in case you don't have phone nearby-can use Wi-Fi service where you are. The Gear S3 can operate on its own, without having to be connected to the phone.
Weather app- well you can manually refresh it and it should update when you so that. Also many weather apps available for it.
Messages - you should be able to scroll up once you click on the person, to see previous messages.
It can be a stand alone phone-if you left your phone at home and it's on, you can use the watch as a phone and receive and make calls on it, as long as it was Bluetooth connected to the cell phone before you left.

For multiple message...I always see the number of unread message in a Circular icon at the bottom of the notification...I click on it...and all the messages are scroll-able.

Confused by notification sounds under vibration mode

Hi, my Pixel 3a is making a sound whenever there is a notification, although I have set the phone to vibrate (even in the do-not-disturb mode!). I have used Android phones for the past eight years, so I think I am pretty familiar with all the little things with Android, but I am just confused to hell about what is going on. I checked a few settings, and they look okay to me (which means that it would behave "normally" on my old phone). I have media volume set to non zero, but that should not matter as I understand.
I think if I turn off app notification sound in individual app's notification settings it should work, but obviously it is a daunting task that I do not want to bother.
I wonder if you can offer some advice. Thank you.

Yeah this confuses me as well. The only way i found was to tap the notifcation symbol again so it turns to the bell with the line through it. But then theres no vibrate either

I still have the notification sounds under the mute mode (and was again waken by a sound at 5am this morning). I suspected this may have something to do with Google Assistant, and while I am not 100% sure about it, I tried something and it worked for me: I turned off "notification access" (Apps & notifications > special app access, or via search) of "Google" and some other apps, tried to trigger notifications, and the phone vibrated/stayed silent as expected. I turned them back on, and everything still works fine. Hope they do not com back.
You may want to give that a try.
EDIT: DO NOT turn the access back on -- it may fail after you reconnect to your Bluetooth headset.

There is a thread for it now:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._bug/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Since these notification channels were implemented, the whole way of the notifications being served got upside down and confusing. R&D forgot at 7.0 already that android is a phone os, some people don't have time to granularly tune each and every app and set the sound and vibrate and other bs.
Same here, Facebook's notifications can come with a weird sound even if I cut off any sound...

Question Calendar Notification inconsistency

Hello,
I searched for this calendar thing before but I did not find anything similar to this so a new post, so my question is, I have my Google calendar filled with some daily activities and on the time mentioned in that event, I get a notification and it shows on the watch, so these events are created by using recurrence, so the one that comes on the next day is exactly the same, but one day on my watch instead of just a normal notification, I saw a screen similar to when we turn off the alarm but for the event, but just once and never saw it again even though the events are exactly same for all the days, am I missing something? is there a way where I can see that screen every time the event is notified? I think that is a better reminder that just a simple vibration/sound which is same for every other notifications.
Not sure if I follow what you are saying, but my notifications come up with snooze or close (I think) if I have a reminder set.

yes! this is what I want, but I get a simple text notification which is just a normal informative/non-interactive notification, so I got the snooze/close screen once, and I had set an event(like every other activity), I'll check if setting a reminder does the thing.
Update: So I set a reminder and this is how I get a notification, and this is how I get for any event too, but I want that stop/snooze screen instead of a simple notification

Do you get the snooze/stop on your phone?

No, I don't
I would start there and check notification settings on the phone. Not really sure what you may have done, but that is where I would start. Check calendar first. Setup a event and see if you can get it to show. I am not sure, but the Samsung calendar app does not show this as a pop-up. Only as a notification.

Ok, let me check if I can get that screen on the phone first, I'll update you with the results.
tldr; Reminder screen for calendar event only shows up if the watch is not connected to the phone, looking for ways to get that screen to show up when connected to the phone.
I think I found the issue, I was charging my watch and I usually put it on airplane mode while charging so it disconnects from the phone and during the time I was charging it there was one daily event that I had set up on Google Calendar which was due, so when the watch was disconnected, it showed me that stop and snooze screen for that particular event, so I don't know if this counts as a solution that whenever I'll want to see the reminder screen(stop and snooze), I'll have to disconnect my watch and only then it'll show me that screen. I feel that this should be present even if the watch is connected to the phone, after trying to play with some settings I found out that, reminder screen only appears when it is disconnected from the phone
things I tried(Did not work):
- Turned off the notifications from the GC app
- Turned off notifications from the wearable app for GC
both of these settings did not work, will be trying more
edit1
things I tried (did not work):
- Disabling the GC app
- Downgrading the GC app to the native version which came pre-installed with the stock rom of phone.
The reminder screen that is displayed is from Samsung calendar app and when the watch is connected to the phone, I guess it expects the phone to trigger the reminder screen but as I have a non Samsung phone I only have GC which only shows the generic notification as a reminder.

Thank you! I'm using it now, it's working great!
Hi:
It's not available for my GW4, can you post the APK to sideload it?
Hi great watchface, but i can only directly Install it on my GW4 with no configuration possibilites... On my Pixel 7 Pro i get the Info that this app is not compatible with my devices
Can you please also provider it for GW4 and Pixel Phone. Thx
Thank you!!!, It's already available....amazing watch face!!
Thx a lot. It is also working for me now. But If i add the Pulse or Others health indicators it only Shows the Icon (e.g. the Heart) instead of the Pulse. But i gave the permission :-(
It is still not available in Poland
In the play application it does not work ... but through the browser it works
Thanks for the watch face. It's very nice! I have a Samsung Watch 5 (non-pro) and I only see the heart icon, it does not show the frequency itself. Where can I find this "cardiogram" complication? I can't see the screenshot you referred to.
Do you think this watch face will have strong impact on battery life?
Thanks!
Thanks for replying. I will monitor the battery life now that I am using your watchface.
I believe this "cardiogram" is a separate application that needs to be installed. It's not the same as the built-in heart rate app that comes with the watch.
Am I to dumb to find it or how to change the general style (as you said there are multiple watchface styles included)?
(I guess I'm on latest version, installed yesterday and now update showing. I'm from germany)
Strange, I don't have these options. Neither ok watch nor in galaxy wearable app.
This it how it looks for me:

Thanks for the update!
Unfortunately, the heart rate number after choosing the native heart rate is not displayed in real time. I am obligated to tap on it to get a current measurement. It's not working as the heart rate complication on Samsung watch faces that updates the frequency in real-time.
Your theme for smart watch should be in the top!
How to enable seconds in concentric native?
Hello! This is amazing! Since I am quite sad that the original doesn't have the AOD fix.
By any chance, will you add a feature supporting multiple copies of concentric native to the favorite? I am using Bixby routine, and I want to swap to face 1 with a set of complications I use during work and face 2 for commute/exercise.
I know you blow up the font a bit but also by any chance would you also release the font size same as google?
Google's pill shape circle at the mins and second is slightly slimer.
Anyway great job!
I use this as my daily! I love this watch face and haven't found one single thing wrong with it. Your work is outstanding and I want to say thank you!
my favourite watch face for watch 5 pro. took me a long time to find it after I lost it (had to change watches) so maybe make sure it is searchable in PLay as Analog Native? Great work
