NowNotifier development

Hello, I'm the developer for the NowNotifier application and decided that the comments in the Samsung store is a bad place for me to keep track of feedback, so decided to start this thread.
Feedback is always welcomed.

Todo:
* Fix for reading messages.
* Option to hide app after action DONE
* No notifications on sleep mode
* Exit to home / watch screen

Hi,
Nice to see you here. Hopefully we will see a new release with enhancement and bug fixes soon

Thanks, had to freeze development while the app was being judged and had to take care of other projects. Right now my priority is to fix the message display, do you have anything to report that needs to be fixed?

This may be some sort of error on my part, so please bear with me. My only complaint is when using your app the Now Notifier screen seems to stick around. I do have my watch set to wake up to last screen used as that is the only way the Endomondo app is useful when running. Is there a way to turn this off.

If you have autohide on, and don't touch the notification, it should hide automatically. If you touch it, you should swipe up to down past the green screen to dismiss the application.

Got it...thanks. Would it be possible in a future update to allow for the autohide timeout to be changed by the user to something shorter?
Edit: Just received an email through Nine (me email app on my phone). I got the notification through NN, replied to it with NN and the NN screen stayed on the screen until I made it go away. This is what I meant earlier. Is this something that's limited by the APIs, or is it something that can be configured to go away on its own?

What would you consider shorter? If I do it I would prefer to consolidate everything together so more like a selection between none / 5 seconds / 10 seconds / 30 seconds / 1 minute so that way there is no 2 options for the same thing, what you think?

Is the autohide for the NN screen or the notification itself. If for the notification, the choices of 5/10/20 would probably be ideal, at least to me. If it is for the NN screen, then just a standard 5 seconds would be fine. I wouldn't think you would want it to not show up as all; I mean you want your name out there and all, I get that.
By the way, did you see my edit above?

The NowNotifier screen is more for you not to leave by error the app when you don't want it because when you get to it, you are a swipe away from leaving the application.
I think I got it, the auto hide is when you receive a notification. As soon as you touch the application, the autohide stops so you can browse/read your notification. If i understand you well, you want to dismiss the application once you execute an action (like reply) is that correct?

Correct.

Well then yeah, that would have to be a new option something like "Hide application after action" and that basically wouldn't have a delay, once you click the button it hides.

Just came here to say thanks to you! Really love your app! Already rated it with 5 stars!

I just thought of another "issue", please don't take this as nit-picking. I really do like your app.
I use the stock sleep app at night. This silences notification and keeps the screen from coming on in the middle of the night. Your app still goes off throughout the night and I never remember to turn off your app until after the first time I'm woken up by the buzzing on my wrist. Is it possible to make your app "respect" the sleep mode?
I am not a developer and only have a very generic understanding of api's and such, so this may not be feasible.

Did you email me about that before?
Yes I'm looking into it, by default I just post the messages that the phone broadcast, so I need to find out a way for me to know when the phone is in that mode to block the messages. No luck so far, but still looking into it.
I'll update the main post with a wishlist and work through it later.

No, I never emailed you... But that must mean I'm not the only one who thought of it. Thanks for starting this thread.

Yeah I got some a question about it some time ago, didn't know about that functionality so I'm looking into it. Yeah between emails and see if comments were updated, I saw a question about the application in this forum, so decided what a better place to keep all the feedback in one place.
Also at this moment I'm doing some live development, testing my encoding PC for other project so feel free to drop and keep the feedback going :good:
The link is YOUTUBE /watch?v=vEW-0gI72S8 <- can't post links yet

Here is a quick demo for the hide after action

Ok I have a list of enhancements I would love to see:
Phone app:
1- When first installed, all applications are enabled (checked) by default, it takes a while to uncheck the applications you don’t want to receive notifications from. Maybe a "check/uncheck all" button.
2- Option to receive notifications on Gear and vibrate while keeping screen off.
3- Option to not show notifications on Gear when phone is used “i.e. screen on and unlocked”.
4- Option to dismiss notification on Gear when it is dismissed from phone, and vise-versa.
5- Option for to exclude notifications from “ignored phrases”.
6- Option for “Night/Do not disturb” times.
7- Provide option for different vibration “duration” for each app
Gear app:
1- Theming option (dark background & light background)
2- “Text size option”.
3- You should queue all the notifications received.
4- Swipe right/left for next/previous notification. Swipe down to dismiss. And tap for notification text/details. Swipe up for (suggestions?)
5- After dismissing the last notification, app should go back immediately (1 sec delay?) to watchface.
And most important of all, stability, stability and stability. The problem I have seen with all the notification apps is stability and usability issues. Often they either hang, crash or stop receiving notifications for some reason or another. And that is very frustrating.
Honestly, if you want you app to be the best notification app (whether free or paid), you should look at the two other similar notification app and combine the best features with your app which I believe provides the best visual experience but lacks in features.

Thanks for the list Renegade!
You should have seen this app the first revision 2 months ago, it was as plain as it gets :laugh:
Some stuff is doable, other might not, right now is limited by my limited knowledge of Android an Tizen, like you say I like to work more on stability so for me is means to add 1 or 2 new features per release.

Lollipop on the S5

I see the current thread about the recent update. But that thread is more about how to upgrade without losing root. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested of that is possible.
But I thought I'd start a thread about people's impressions of Lollipop on the S5. Pros and cons. Thanks for your input.

lol its a thread about the L update.. there currently isnt a way to upgrade without losing root so that is being worked on right now..
As far as the actual update, its a fresh change and everything they said itd be. Plain tw os lol

With several features of Lollipop not being included for the S5 release it feels to me like just a color change with a little different lock screen.

Can those with the update possibly comment with which specific features are present and which are missing? I have heard rumors, seen "change logs", and seen some random posts here or there, but think it would be useful to the community to get a confirmed list of what is included and not included. If people can post in this thread of what they find or do not find, I can compile them into a simple list in this post. Thanks in advance!

I love the look of the new lock screen and want eclipse ROM to upgrade to 5.0 and have that. However, I saw that the 'trick' for the notification bar where you pull down once for notifications and twice for toggles like on nexus was not included which I'm upset about

Is this left out because you can do the 2 finger pulldown to get quick toggles?

Ok guy's am I screwed since I took the Ota without preserving root?

I got the update yesterday, and so far so good. Battery life seems a tiny bit worse, but that may be because I've been putzing with the phone more. Will continue to monitor the battery life.
The Fingerprint lock screen is much better, and the fingerprint sensor seems to be more accurate, if that is possible.
With the new fingerprint screen, when I unlock, I get a short vibration (haptic feedback?- I am usually in vibrate mode). The phone did not do this before. Also, I get a vibration when I put it on the wireless charger. Again, this did not happen before. I can't figure out how to stop it, as I would prefer not to have these vibrations occur.
Other than some visual differences, these are the only issues I've come up with to date. If I could figure out how to eliminate the vibration when I unlock the phone or put it on the charger that would be great.

Anyone experiencing the GPS turning on every time you unlock the phone? for a second or so.

Kitkat is better and more stable as the daily driver.
Lollipop has more novelties but not better on performance.
Depends on what you prefer.

Trusted devices works fine, and was included - just has to be turned on in settings, at it is off by default. I'm using it right now.

+1 for the Trusted Devices, I am also using it right now with my Gear Live.
Turn it on at Settings -> Security -> Trust Agents -> Smart Lock; then back up one level and a new Smart Lock option will be available which allows you to add Trusted Devices and Trusted Places. It may not show up if a secure lock screen is not enabled.

So I got Lollipop now....and there is definitely one thing that is absolutely horrible! This is also confirmed to be wide-spread (not just S5).
Now, When you put your phone to silent/mute, you will NOT GET LED light NOTIFICATIONS. Period.
Only way to get LED light notifications is while phone is in Sound/Vibrate mode. This is severely sad and many people are expressing their opinions about this across all Lollipop devices. Using some 3rd Party App (LightFlow) as a workaround is not a real solution either.

No, you can flash a stock tar, boot to recovery, full wipe, reroot following the old ncg instructions, and then follow the guide in general on flashing the rooted rom for OA8 from nk2.

Glad you found that. That's not exactly where the android site said to find it.

You guys think that any devs/ROM creators will be able to add features like the new google notification panels and stuff and get rid of the TW stuff? Nitro has already created an older AOSP ROM that is brilliant so I'm curious if devs will try to emulate a ROM based off of the newest 5.0 Google

Yes. I have two S5 and this happens on my wife's. Mine does not do this. So far I have not found what is causing this.

Step goal and sleep tracking?

Hi,
can anybody tell me how I can set another step goal (its set with 6000) - I cant find it on the app at the phone and also not on the gear... But it must be possible to change it, or??
And another question: Can the gear s2 track the sleep? If yes, how to set it or do i need another app for it?
Thanks a lot
Frank

In the S health watch app go to the far right and open the settings menu and you can set your step goal in there.

Thanks for your answer, but it works not! I had only the choice to select the source of the stepcounter (gear or phone).
If I set it to phone I can change the goal - but when I switch back to gear it back again to 6000... And I have again no chance to change it...
Crazy...

As said above, you simply go S Health settings on the watch to change it.

I got it
Thanks for your help...

Or go into s health on s2 and scroll using bezel all the way to the right to Settings and select 2nd option - Step Target, and change target there.

That's exactly what had been advised in the first reply, isn't it?
What about the sleep tracking? For now it would seem they have forgotten it.

How about how to change from phone to gear for soirce? I know its there but can't seem to find it.

Is there anyway to switch function on the S2, i find as per my Gear 2 it is inaccurate (prefer using my mobile) and it consumes battery.

(Reopen Question) How to Change Pedometer Target / Steps Goal on Gear S2
While this was answered over a year ago, either it's changed since then, or I'm misunderstanding.
I can find several S Health widgets, but I can't see the S Health APP anywhere on the S2.
There's even a Pedometer widget, but turn the bezel as i might, I don't find the three-dot menu icon, "More", or "Settings" anywhere.
The Data Source is set to the watch, not the phone. But clicking on S Health even in the Apps List just brings up the 24 Hour Activity Log.
It's a bluetooth-only version of the watch, so there's no carrier involved. I'm using it with a Note 4 on Verizon.
The software version on the S2 ends in EPK5.
Thanks for any help!

I'm running the same version
Launch the S-health app on the S2 - not any of the widgets. Rotate the bezel to the right until you see the Settings "tab". Click on the button at the bottom. Scroll down to Step Target.
Rob

Must "Start" to get to Settings
As I said in my earlier post, starting the S Health app on the S2 simply brought up the 24 Hour Log (circle showing goals for sleep, serious exercise, light exercise, etc.) Rotating the bezel did nothing.
However, if you press the "Start" button on that circle, THEN rotating the bezel will bring up various screens (or "tabs"), including Settings!
Thanks for the help.

I just had to reset my S2 because I got a new phone and I'm having the same issue and reading every forum and Forum post out there and I cannot find how to change this on the watch. Phone is at 10k, S2 is at 6k. Wat them both at 10k. This is so aggravating. These instructions worked like 6 months ago but there is no changing the step Count on the gearas far as I can tell. I'm so annoyed right now LOL the search continues

swipe down to going back

Just updated my gear s3 r760, all fine, new tizen it's very nice, minimalist and clean... But I can't going back swiping from top, it pull down panel every time... I searched for an option but I didn't find nothing... Has Samsung removed this gesture??

Same here. Would really like to know why, and if there's a way to re-enable it.. :-/

Hope it is only a mistake... Was really useful, now I see every time the control panel... ? ? tonight will try to write to Samsung for an answer maybe if more people write to them they will listen us... Maybe...

Left handers left out in the Tizen experience.
So annoying. As someone who wears their watch on my right hand, this now makes the watch even more awkward to use as now we have to reach over the watch unnaturally to press the back or home buttons to go back. I wrote a forum post at Android Central about how Samsung/Tizen should look to Apple for how to take care of the 10% of their users that are left handed and wear their watch on their right wrist. I sincerely hope someone finds a way to either enable us to flip the watch (like you can on an Apple Watch) so the buttons face the correct/user friendly way, or allow users to re-enable this swipe down to go back feature that has been a part of Tizen for years.

You'll find that setting in s health on your gear, go to heart rate, click the three dots on the right and you can set to never, every 10 minutes or always. For me they had to add something like every one hour or personalized to user liking...

Unbelievable to me too. I would trade ALL of the new features (and I like them) just to have the 'swipe down to go back' feature again. I don't know how removing that feature got past usability testing.

I think they removed it so the button will break down faster and you will have to get a new watch eventually.....

I need this function, too! Cannot use my watch properly anymore. I don't want to be pushing buttons, I liked the watch 5x better when it was 100% swipable.

I find it rather amusing that I don't know what swipe down to go back feature you guys are talking about.in the first place.

I am very disappointed and will get rid of this watch soon if this feature does not come back soon. The swipe down made using the watch more fluid- imo

I never liked that feature. I always wanted to swipe down like I do on my phone. It's taken some getting used to, but I really like the new implementation.

I bought the Gear S3 primarily because I loved how you could swipe down from any screen and go back without having to press a physical button. I stupidly updated the Gear software and now the major reason to like this watch is removed. I, like a dummy, bought the Gear S3 at T-Mobile and now I'm paying like $15 a month for a smartwatch that I hate to use. I'm just venting because this is extremely frustrating.
This watch is going to be paid off and then sold on Craigslist or just tossed into the garage. I hate this thing now.

Before tizen 3, we can use swipe gesture to navigate back in every screen, now Samsung had removed it and we have to use phisical button... Not a big deal, but after some years we used to going back with this gesture, it's like restart from zero... It took some days to habit to new method, and every time I pulled down notification panel instead of simply going back... That's it

You guys should have read the changelog before updating.
It's stated clearly right there that swipe down now opens the panel on all screens.

That's thread is actually pretty funny.

Notifications not appearing until the phone is unlocked.

Hi,
I have owned Find X2 Pro for about 3 weeks now. I have noticed that my notification is not appearing when the phone is locked. It only shows up when I unlocked my phone.
I know Oneplus also has this issue but can be fixed by disable battery optimization.
Is there any thing I should disable or enable in order to alert me when my phone is locked.?

Have you tried going in to Privacy<Lock Screen and then selecting show notifications

Hi mate. Did you sort this out? I have the exact same issue. As soon as screen is locked, no notifications. If I knew this I would not have bought the phone. Thanks for any help you may give.

I was disappointed to discover there is no notification LED on this phone, so wanted to find a way to overcome that. I'm not sure it's exactly the same issue you've found, but maybe the solution is the same?
There are several ways to replicate the missing notification indicator, but the one I've been using since I got the Oppo is NotifyBuddy. Although there is a free version (link below), I quickly paid a small amount of money to unlock all its features. This means that notifications appear on my lock screen in the form of app icons - you can select the size, colour and which ones you want to show from a list of all your installed apps. I've set mine to blink on and off at one second intervals and for NotifyBuddy to not show any notifications when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. A double-tap brings up the lock-screen fingerprint sensor, so it's easy to open the phone without even picking it up.
This is my preferred set-up, but the program is very flexible. It does consume some battery power because I've set it to run in the background (which seems pretty essential to me) but the extra drain is very small.
You can get it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy&hl=en

Thank you John for your reply,
I do not think this will solve my issue nor the original posters issue. When the phone blinks out and goes into its hibernation state/lock screen state and has been idle for quite some time, no notifications come through until the phone has been picked up or woken up then all the notifications flood in. I have tried all sorts of things to get the notifications to work when the phone is in this state but it just does not work. However, if the always on display is on, all notifications work perfectly as the phone is not in that hibernation/resting state. I am not sure this app would help until this aspect is resolved, unless in your experience it has fixed the issue?
Thank you for your reply.

I don't know if this will solve your issue, but, have you tried to turn the "sleep stand by optimization" off?

I have just tried this now. So by locking the apps in they should notify regardless yes?

When the phone was in hibernation, I wasn't getting any notifications through either. The app I suggested solved this. Now I get notifications immediately, whatever the phone's state.

Hi John,
That is good to know. I am currently trying Tobias14's suggestion, if this does not work I will most definitely try yours. Thanks again.

Also whilst I am thinking about this, supposedly lock screen magazine can impact notifications if it is turned off so I have enabled this too.
Cheers.

I thought I'd add a photo of my Oppo Find X2 Pro showing how notifications appear on my lock-screen whilst the phone is locked. This is thanks to the NotifyBuddy app which I've discussed earlier in this thread.
Sadly, I seem unable to embed the photo, so here's a link to it:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/john_gass/50301729781/in/dateposted-public/
It shows three simultaneous notifications... Twitter, WhatsApp and TypeApp (which is my preferred email app). The strange position of the icons is because I set up NotifyBuddy's ability to move the icons around to avoid any possibility of OLED screen burn-in.
And finally, I have no connection with this app except that I've been really pleased with it and feel it deserves a bit of promotion!

I am facing the same issue on my oppo reno 8, in my case sleep standby optimization is turned on, because of which I am not getting notifications on lock screen. Make sure you turn off sleep standby optimization. Settings>>Battery>>Advanced settings>>sleep standby optimization.
