Hello,
I have had lately issues with thives.
My Samsung Galaxy S4 was stolen when i was out in public from my pocket.
Do you people know is there possible to set up Samsung Galaxy note 3 and that gear wach this way that IF i forget phone on my work table when i leave office or somone takes it from my pocket wach will sound an alarm as phone is away from em from x ammount meeters?
Thios would prevent me forgeting phone somwhere and also when somone tries to steal it directly from my pocket.
Or is there any other gear that will help to prevent those things to happen?
I have loost too many phones and now got this one stolen.
I am getting tomorrow Galaxy note 3 and thinking how to prevent to forgeting it somwhere or geting this stolen again?

It's been a long time since I had a samsung device but one of my favorite features of my s2 was the smart alarm feature, where gentle sounds would start playing a little before the alarm went off. I can't seem to find this feature anymore on the s6
this is normal.. in every new model or the flagship of brand they will do some good nearly things but a lot of perfect things they took away... sometimes i would meet the developers and kick their stupid asses... its the same in android.. they come with some better functions and another thong they took away.. im sick of it...
BTW: I'm looking for this alarm too and earlier i was using "sleep as android" so if we cant find any other, try this...
Hi all,
I have been having trouble with the inbuilt alarm on S2.
I have it set as a wake up alarm for weekdays only and sometimes it just simply doesn't go off. Totally random.
I wear it at night and it's set to Do Not Disturb mode (alarms still work in this mode) when I go to bed.
I have had the watch since release date here in Australia (late October) and the alarm has failed mamy times since then.
I have done a total of 5 light resets and 1 factory reset since I've had it but it hasn't resolved the issue.
At first I thought I may have been sleeping through it so I set it to long buzz and it worked fine for 16 days straight, (I included weekends as a test) but then it failed twice within a few days.
The most recent time it failed was this morning and I know it definitely isn't me as I was awake and purposely monitoring the time on my bedside clock to check and sure enough it simply didn't go off.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is anyone willing to set a wake up alarm and try it out for a few weeks?
Thanks.
I use a daily alarm just on weekdays with no issues as far as I can tell. I've had the watch for about a month and I wear it at night as well.

Ok thanks.
Do you have it set to Do Not Disturb mode at night?

I have experienced the same issue. I have a daily alarm set for 8pm. The alarm is very random.

Yes, I set it Do Not Disturb and the screen to a brightness level of 1 (probably has no impact for the alarm). I especially paid attention this morning and the alarm went off.

I'm somewhat relieved that you have experienced this, I have been second guessing whether I'm imagining it. Haha
Hopefully Samsung monitor these threads and come out with a fix (assuming it's not a hardware fault)
I have reported it to Samsung support but whether the report actually gets relayed to the devs is a different story.
At the moment I have set another alarm for 10 minutes later in the hope that at least one of them will wake me up.
I'm also keeping a log but there's no pattern developing at all, it's totally random.
If anyone else has noticed this issue please do chime in.
If not, please be aware of it.

I've only had it a two weeks but I to have it set to do not disturb and have it on power saving mode, and it's been reliable so far.
Failed again this morning.
First alarm didn't go (6:45) but second one worked 10 minutes later (6:55)
Definitely an issue there....

Ok that's the new one which hasn't yet rolled out here in Australia.
Thanks. Please report back if it ever fails.
Can anyone else in this thread confirm which firmware and if the issue is evident for you.

A bit more info on this issue.....
My first alarm failed again this morning (6:45) but I happened to have my eyes open & saw the screen light up briefly at the exact alarm time, then go out again.
The second alarm 10 minutes later worked. (6:55)
I'm wondering if the watch goes into a "Deep Sleep" overnight & fails to run the alarm correctly ??
This is only an assumption.
Still no firmware update here in Australia so I remain hopeful that the new update solves it....
Anyone else, please do chime in if you're having issues, or not, and which firmware version you have please.
Finally received the firmware update 2 days ago so I was hopeful, but the alarm failed again this morning.
So frustrated!

Just bumping this thread in case anyone else is having trouble.
I have been keeping a log to take to a Samsung Experience store in the hope of having it replaced as I'm still having issues.

Just a thought -- wonder if it has anything to do with the lack of speaker on the classic/sport?
I have a 3G, so alarms of course play a notification sound. I've had the watch about 6 weeks, and alarms have been flawless on mine., although I've only set single, non-repeating alarms so far. I've set a M-F =alarm in the morning to see what happens, I'll report back.
S/W version AOJ6, in the US.

You need to set it so it wakes you up.
If you are up and active it will work, as if your activity has already woken the watch from a deep sleep.
Have a read through the entire thread, I've seen the screen light up briefly (displays watch face) at the time the alarm is set, but the alarm doesn't work.
Autralian firmware - BOKK
Try it out for a good 2 weeks.
I might post pics of my log to show how bad it is....

I'm not sure that the problem is in a deep sleep condition of the watch.
This morning I was already with the swatch in movement when the alarm started but without vibration: only screen on.
Perhaps the trouble is due to BT off: before going to sleep I connect the watch with the phone to download data and then I took it off.... perhaps...
I have submitteted the bug to the Samsung technical support...
In the meanwhile I'm temped to buy an alarm app that repeat the alarm until you don't set it off...

When the screen came on, did it show the alarm screen or just the watch face?
When I actually see mine fail, the screen lights up and displays the watch face briefly, not the alarm screen.
Where did you submit the bug to?
Samsung have been less than helpful with me.
Quite frustrating really.

The screen shows the watchface (I think for 5 seconds)...
I submitted the trouble here (for US products)

and here (for Italy)

Yesterday I tried with a payment app (I think it is the only one for alternative alarm) but it lacks of dayofweek programming feature, so I will not use it.
Today the alarm was faulty too, even if yesterday night before going to sleep I restarded the watch.
So I think that is the depp sleep condition of the watch the problem...
SAMSUNG PLEASE PATCH IT!!!!
For next week I will try with two consequent alarms.
GRRRRR.....

Hi
Anyone who owns the Gear Sport, can tell me if the vibration is good enough for waking you up, like the alarm clock?
Im about buying it, but i dont want to be disappointed with the "intensity" of the vibarion. i read some that said its weak even when put on "high", and someone replay to him that an update software somehow fixed it...
It is quite reasonable. You can easily feel it.

Did you tried it?
im looking for it, this is the only thing that stopping me from buying it.
I own both an LG G Watch R, and a gear sport. The vibration on the gear sport is a lot stronger than my LG.
Would it wake you up? That depends on how heavy you sleep I guess. I use it with the "sleep as android" app and have my watch vibrate one minute before the alarm sounds. 9 times out of 10 it wakes me up from the vibration before the alarm sounds.
as per title im having problems from my samsung active 2 when i click the find my phone even it says its connected its not pinging the phone. also alarm issue if you have alarm on the phone it doesnt vibrate to the watch where in when i had my oneplus 8 pro or s20 ultra before everything works. i think is it because of the aggressive battery save from miui again?

Hello there, I'm using a2 with mi 10...no such problem but when I clean recent apps, watch disconnect, but after few seconds it's connected again.. I was previously with fossil gen 5 and it was terrible experience, after few hours connection broke and it was impossible to connect again, but I can receive notifications, nothing else, here is different situation, everything it's almost ok. This is because aggressive ram management in miui...
Find everything with Bluetooth in battery optimization and mark don't optimise.. Its work for now.
