i don't know much about writing apps for android or else i would work on this, but when i had winmo there was an app called galarm that allowed the user to set an alarm and rather than just a regular alarm that allows you to just hit snooze you have tho either solve a number of math problems(user sets number to solve) or complete a maze(could drag ball or tilt phone) i really liked this because i can snooze a regular alarm in my sleep but this was a whole lot harder to snooze. the math problems where difficult(using mult, divide, add, subtract) and the mazes where rediculus too. please someone let me know if you could make this app, i would be willing to buy it off the market when finished, but i would prefer not to since the original was free.
i never used this but i want this now. i would gladly pay for an app that does what you described

i can't believe none of you used this before, the math problems were multiple choice so if you suck at math you could guess, but one morning i got mad cause it wanted to know what 45*97 was or some wierd combo like that. certainly made sure i woke up in the morning
ask the Dev :
http://forum.ageye.de/viewforum.php?f=3
doubt that he'd build an Android version from scratch without a device, but might be worth asking.
one of the probs with the Android Market so far is that a lot of devs are just copying the apps made by XDA dev people for WinMo (which are free or donation apps) and selling them on the Droid Market. We need more XDA Devs to get Droid phones, it was more fun seeing apps developing on here over months, before they go on sale or whatever.
Yeah, this is exactly what I suggested on the "Suggest App Idea" thread. I'd be in for a few bucks, even if it was a donation version (with free version).
Yeah, i loved Galarm on my last device... I miss it very much.
I would love to see it on Android but I wouldn't pay for it, since i CAN'T. My G1 dosn't show any paid app to me to buy...
Sry for the bad english
*push*
some would say im already dead but no - im sleeping.
i urgently need an alarm app which features all galarm pros: puzzles to snooze and disable the alarm.
does any1 know such an app?

This one just does math problems but it works great for me and I used to sleep through three alarms.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-av-mac-jiiw.aspx
"Alarmed" does maths questions and anagrams.. There's a free lite version as well.
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-heychinaski-alarmed-qzwB.aspx
You might want to check Alarming Alarm Clock its $0.99 in the market and I love it. You can choose between math or a puzzle. Alarmed Alarm Clock is really nice too. If you only need one alarm the free version is great.
i tried klaxon [paid version] which is quite good besides the option to enable puzzles or maths to disable the alarm.
however the snooze function seems not to work: snooze is set to 5 minutes but the alarm only rings on more time 5 ~15 minutes after i hit the snooze button... however snooze is essential for me so my question is:
is there any app, paid or free, which has a working snooze function AND a hard-to-disbale alarm (so you cant easily turn it off while still asleep, like pressing a big button instead of going into menus and ask to quit)?
I have a payed version of Galarm and Gprofile but since I left winmo behind, I can't use them, android version would be mostly welcome.
I love g-alarm and rely on it daily. i currently use winmo, but have a evo4g on order. a g-alarm app is the first app i'm looking to have for android. i wish there was an android version available. i bought the latest version for winmo and never looked back.
Alarmed
you can disable the volume buttons for snooze, Ramped alarm volume, and it works every time i set it..
Try Alarm Clock Plus, it does exactly what you described, its free, and has varying levels of difficulty for the math problems.
Alarm clock plus ftw....****er wakes me up everytime lol
all this apps are nice, but totally far from G-Alarm !
i've got my Desire HD 2 days ago, but actually i can't find nothing that have the same
G-Alarm option
mainly:
1) Random MP3 Player
2) FaceDown to snooze
3) Calculator to turn it off.
Gentle Alarm, actually is the best, it have Random MP3 Player, but you have to create a playlist, 'cause you can't simply select the mp3 from you sdcard
the good things of this application is the profile, so the phone can switch in ariplane mode during the night and switch on after the ring.
still looking for more
Sorry for bumping sort of old thread, but I thought I'd inform people about this http colon //www dot ageye.de/index.php?s=news&id=9. First beta of G-Alarm for Android was released on December 23rd, 2010. Yey for ageye! =)
(Not allowed to post proper links yet.)
Hello
I know that thread is quite old and GAlarm is still under development but I'd like to recommend You my version of alarm clock. It's first version so it still lacks some functions available in other alarms, but expect more updates soon .
When it comes to math problem it has three levels: tasks might be "complex" but the result is not too big number. Beside math problem You can solve "citation problem".
You can find application on Android Market: Caynax Alarm Clock.
Thought I would start a thread for Apps Wanted, hoping some enterprising devs might see the list and pick some to try. Here is what I am thinking:
- Respond with App Name in the subject to this post
- Provide as much detail as possible here to provide a baseline of what you are looking for
- Add info such as any help you may be able to provide, or if you are willing to offer up cash or other incentives
- When/if there is an app to test you can provide a link
I will make sure to provide a list here of all of app requests so that we have an index file for reference:
- Pebble Smart Start: An app that will allow the user to start their vehicle remotely
- Pebble GeoCache: An app that provides simple geo-cache readout on the Pebble (Lat/Lon)

Not really a coder myself, but there was a Dailer app, which allowed users to search and call contacts by using T9 typing (with the 3 buttons on the right). I wonder if this would be possible with sending sms and typing with T9( we know Glance allows pre-set messages = so sending messages is possible)
Just a little something i wish was out there.

..or maybe it would just let you pick a top 5 or top 10 numbers to dial? then should be easier to scroll the list and pick the one you want to call
You could check my app - A countdown timer. Also, if anyone knows coding and wants to help me, PM me as i dont have a pebble

A great app would be to be able to have your pebble turn off at scheduled times. May be harder to get it to turn on but at least this would save battery.

I have a few ideas for how you can do this...
1. Canvas app - create a calendar on google calendars with just their birthdays. On Canvas, create a watch face with a field that pulls data from a calendar and configure it to only pull from the birthday calendar.
2. Tasker and pebble notifier - with pebble notifier, you can send tasker notifications to your watch. With tasker, you can program it to notify you on certain days which are your friends' birthdays.
Thoughts?

Oi! Where's your phone?
Having lost phones in the past an app to vibrate the pebble if the BT connection drops for longer than a minute (maybe the duration could be configurable) would be useful.
Would probably need alarm style snooze and dismiss options so you could snooze it if you're out of range momentarily and dismiss it until the next reconnect if your phone battery has died or similar.
Something like this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pebble so I was surprised to not find one already, I've seen a few phone apps doing the reverse and bleeping the phone when out of range but that doesn't help me realise my phone is missing it just annoys the thief into turning off the phone.
I'm not a coder beyond 10 print hello 20 goto 10 but if anyone else thinks something like this would be useful I'd happily beta test.
Thanks

I'd like a better stopwatch/alarm app.. Also a contact app that works better than the current one with the 3 button interface. I'd like to scroll by groups of letters, like top button is a to k, middle is l to s etc.. And then scroll through those letters.
I know this is a long shot, but having a torque plugin would be cool to show 2 or 3 preset dials like engine temp and maf values cause when I'm working on my Audi I like to monitor certain things but don't want to get my phone all greasy.

Yes, this exactly. I got my pebble a few days ago and I've been looking for something like this. There are already apps to ring the phone from the watch and even a notification on your phone if your watch gets disconnected but I would very much like the watch to vibrate if it gets disconnected instead of the phone
The other day, I read a post by a user who lost his new Z1 in a shopping mall. So I just want to know, what would be the best app to track your Z1.
In India, I have preloaded apps like Mcafee Security, X Alert for Xperia, Android Device Manager. Also play market is flooded with many tracking apps. But my concerns are :
1) What if the Sim is changed ?
( since you don't have new no, you can't send sms commands..do we have a tracking app which can also notify the sim change)
2) What if GPS and 2G/3G connection are off ? ( I usually keep them off to slow battery drain)
3) What if the thief is a pro ( n also follows xda :laugh: ) and flashes a New rom.
I am ready to root my device for the sake of security and can also buy a pro version of any app to ensure safety.
P.S. : In India, you can easily lose a phone in metros, malls, buses etc. So believe me, I'm not paranoid my concerns are very much genuine.
i agree with the OP .. even i would like to know and do the same
I use Cerberus. You can use it on 5 of your devices for one license I think and it's cheap. It's also light, no anti virus bloat. Just tracking. Can monitor for sim changes. Also has root features like uninstall protection.
I've been using it for a few years now. Once off payment. No subscription

If you have root on your phone Avast has a really nice feature as it allows the Anti-theft to be installed in the root of your device. You can also prevent third-party from accessing the setting etc etc. + all the standard features. It is free so give it a shot.
No chance

Most anti theft software will work up until flashing or phone is put into airplane mode. What would be clever is if said anti-theft software turned off airplane mode to call home every hour or so. As most task schedulers need root to do this the only thing I can suggest is that you invest in a Bluetooth headset. Negating the need to take the phone out of a secure place in your pocket. Would you feel better losing a headset over a phone?
Google also provide anti data theft function to wipe the phone if you trust them.
Not sure if you have insurance in india but in the UK if you lose your phone. Just IMEI block it and make an insurance claim. At least the phone is not usable once you report it lost or stolen obviously other aspects can be used.
If you want security then encrypt your storage and pin and sim lock the phone. It's not perfect but if someone is hell bent on trying to get access to your data you have a better chance of wiping it before they can try to unlock. Don't know what the lifetime of decrypting a storage card is but there are some things you can do in Android that don't require extra apps.
I would recommend Macrodroid Pro Edition
With the Macrodroid Pro Edition you can create a macro (a script with a set of instructions to be run when a certain condition is met)
This macro could respond to an incoming SMS containg a specific text like: "locate" , or could run with a timer (ex: once an hour/once a day)
and you would make a macro that simply:
-turns on wifi
-turns on mobile data
-turns on gps
-wait 20sec before next command
-refresh the positioning data
(it means that the phone will try to locate its own position using any of the above methods and respond with the most accurate location it can find)
-wait 20sec before next command
-Send the info via email to your account (or back to the phone that sendt the locate SMS) (i find sending to email safer)
(here you can repeat the refresh if you want to make double sure that you'll get a result)
(here you can repeat wait for 30/60sec)
(here you can repeat send to email)
-wait 20sec before next command
-turn on flashlight
-turn the volume to FULL for all types of volume
-play a sound or melody
-turn the screen on
-lock the screen (key lock)
-delete the incoming calls list
AND IF YOU MAKE ANOTHER macro YOU COULD LET THAT macro RESPOND TO SMS "locate and delete" AND PERFORM ADDITIONAL TASKS LIKE:
(-delete sms from specific contacts)
(-delete all sms andcall info)
(-move files into hidden folder (ex pictures) )
(-run another macro or program like dropbox or google+ to take remote backup of your pictures/recordings/sounds)
(-run commands to reset the phone to factory reset) (PS: this step will remove/uninstall macrodroid and prevent you from retrying to locate the phone)
So that even if you loose the phone, you might be able to save your memories and render the phone useless for the thief !!
And that should work wonders... You can find examples of macro's on macrodroids forum, and in the app itself
but for an advanced macro like this one would be, you would need the pro version in order to add all the needed macro-steps
And you will need ROOT access to be able to turn on the GPS (i recommend using "kingo android root" to root your Z1 phone)
and to get to some of the special features that can only be accessed on an rooted phone, i really recommend rooting your phone for this! )
This is what I do track my phone... and it works... as long as the phone can be reached using an sms or a phone call...
You could also force the phone to run this everytime it is being shut off (normally, but not with the hard-reset: power+volume up)
so to add another layer of protection...
or you could define that if the phone is not near a known location at a given time, then it should run this macro...
if you know that you're always home at 5pm or at work from 1pm to 7pm...
so whatever day the phone is in a different location than expected, at a given time, it will track itself and send an email with position data..
All this should add quite a good option for tracking your phone...
It is not 100% safe regarding to the thiefs that turn off the phone, or reset it... but then again... what is?
Hi all,
I am creating this thread so that we can investigate what can and what cannot be done with the iPhone & Gear combination.
Let me first describe my experience so far, for anyone who may be interested. So let's say you want to use the Gear with your iPhone:
First of all you need to have null ROM on the Gear (see respective thread). I have null 15.
You go to full settings and then bluetooth and make the watch discoverable.
Then you go to the iPhone and search for devices (not the other way around).
What works:
1) Basic BT handsfree functionality.
They couple OK and this is it. You have a glorified 300 euro BT handsfree in the shape of a wristwatch!
2) Internet tethering via BT.
If your iPhone carrier settings do support tethering you can also tether the Gear via BT to the iPhone. I have seen that the tethering process works but unfortunately i was in an area of no signal when i did the test (don't have an iPhone right now) so there is no hard evidence. I mean i did not see a webpage loading but i think that tethering is actually device independent. Someone please confirm.
What doesn't work:
1) Notifications (which renders the added value of the whole smartwatch concept kind of questionable)
2) An automated or even manual (but no PC/cloud involved) way to transfer photos/vids taken with the Gear camera to the iPhone.
3) Caller ID with name. I have extensively tried this with both an iPhone 4 and a 5S both on iOS7 and both not jailbroken and when a call is received i only saw the number even if the caller was in the contact list of the iPhone and the native contact list on the Gear itself.
I am searching for a solution for bullets 2 and 3, since i will swap my S4 for a 5S very soon but i do intend to keep the Gear for the time being.
Any comment/personal experience/help will be greatly appreciated.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
As of June 11, 2014 XDA member @Accounti provided the first (and only so far) solution, regarding iPhone & Gear cooperation.
Ladied and Gents, please welcome CloudNotifier Cydia tweak.
All notifications from jailbroken iPhone can be sent via Web to the Gear (and many other devices, as it is web based). It is not a direct BT connection, therefore NULL ROM is required so that BT tethering is enabled.
I would like to personally congratulate @Accounti for his work and kindly ask that relative posts are done in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784802
Please let us continue in this thread regarding the iPhone & Gear connection methods.
i tested everything all the day. I can confirm, it works, tethering it's fine, browsing, play store access, email, also I installed Whatsapp and using it.
A problem with this, after some minuts the internet connection become "on demand" so if you receive for example a whatsapp message you don't receive immediately the notification but you will receive the first time you connect to something (for example browsing a page or sending an email).
I'm searching a way to keep internet connection alive or to wake it every 15 minutes just to have live messaging with whatsapp.
I can confirm the problem with the caller Id, i think the problem it's that the iPhone does not push contacts to gear when you pair, and when a call comes the gear look not in the contacts list but in the pairing contacts, that is empty...
---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------
Another problem, set every volume in gear to zero, only vibrating, iPhone is in silent mode to, when a call comes the Gear makes the ringtone anyway. It's a bad problem for me cause i can't use ringtone at work...
NZ, you do realize all this device needs is an app to communicate with. It is completely possible to make the Gear work with an iPhone.
Someone with some decent IOS App writing skills could make this work.
Stop filling this thread with your nonsense.

Not sure iOS supports bluetooth file transfers, but it should work.. along with bluetooth sharing contacts I believe, I activated that service too

@fOmey unfortunately i do not have an iPhone right now. Maybe will have the 5S within the day and then i will test and get back to the thread.
However, BT file transfer is a no go on an iPhone that is not jailbroken. Truth is that iOS 7 is a little more relaxed compared to older iOSs but i cannot confirm anything.
With a JB iPhone it may be a totally different story, however. There is tweak called BTnotificationenabler that transfers ALL push notifications through BT.
Could you please check what the profiles that the Gear supports are? Also, could you add more profiles, just in case?
Thank you dude!

That's a shame about the bluetooth transfer, although ! The bluetooth notifications is quite interesting.
What profile do you require for the bluetooth notifications ? As for adding new profiles.. I can activate additional services which have been included already, although it's kind of hit and miss if they will work ! .. If it's some weird proprietary services sadly no.
I have included majority of the useful ones already..
Hi Everyone,
I did a little thread cleaning. I think that this thread is perfect for xda. Although xda usually doesn't support iPhone development, I think most of the development here will need to be done on the Galaxy Gear side. As long as people are willing to help and test ideas, I say go for it!
Thanks!

I will alsotry to get in touch with a dev who has managed to make wonders with iPhone and Pebble.
Thing is, if some basic functionality can be achieved, then the Gear market will truly expand. There are many iPhone users who would love to use the Gear.
UPDATE: It might also be worth it if you could take a look at this: http://support.imwatch.it/downloads/
I have used the imwatch in the past and it can work both with iOS and Android.
Appart from the tethering function, i remember that when pairing with iPhone a special BT profile (do not remember it's name) was utilised that allowed the imwatch to download the whole iPhone contact list over BT.
Actually the Gear is all the imwatch was ever hoping to be and maybe some more!

Good idea Man! Look into the I'm Watch firmware is good, the profile used for sms is the Message Access Profile (MAP).
No way to save contacts manually, the Gear see it as empty. Is there a possibility to modify directly the contact file?
fOmey maybe you know witch is the right file
Just talked to fOmey in the chatroom of his website.
I informed him that jb for iOS 7 is out.
Now the news: fOmey has an iPhone also and i am trying to convince him to invest/waste some time trying to make the Gear - iPhone combination work.
Told him about the BTNotificationEnabler tweak (https://github.com/conradev/BTNotificationEnabler) and the MAP profile that is being used and he said that his ROM may already be supporting it.
If there is anyone with an iPhone and a Gear who wants to see the combination really work, please post to this thread. It could provide some motivation for fOmey!
I know he can do it if he decides to spend some time working on it.

Maybe list of profile should help. Put everything inside null please! (Lot of people could use, not only Apple owners)

I have activated profile MCE in the current version of null_ which is a MAP profile, I have just finished activating MSE which also is a MAP profile, this will be available in the next version. So in other words all profiles in reference to MAP will be activated in the next version of null_ (16).
Take a look at this page for a better understanding.

It's auto-enabled when you turn bt on? Because when an sms arrive nothing happens, and from iPhone side it's always turned on.
fOmey maybe you can make some test with your iPhone

fOmey my man if i got this correctly then the MSE (server side) profile should be enabled on the iPhone and the MCE (client side) should be enabled on the Gear.
However, "The MCE device shall use the services of the MSE device only after successfully creating a secure connection", which kind of concerns me.
But again, in fOmey we trust for everything Gear related.

I'll do JB in a few days on 4s but only for btnotenab, cause forma the SMS si already in ios
Any workaround for the caller id issue?
With calling id names and MAP the Gear could be the perfect device.
Ok sorry to sound a percy pessimist but here are some little gripes so far.. I'm totally understanding that its still early days yet and software may well be improved over time and also I may well be being dim and not knowing where some settings are etc. If so then please by all means let me know!
* Cradle/dock VERY awkward to attach.
* Does nots seem to have the cool "bypass phone lockscreen if watch is attached" feature which was demo'd in I/O.
* Doesn't seem to be a way to open apps or do anything on the watch if you are not in a position to talk. (other than the list of "example" searches you can see if you don't talk to the watch quick enough.
* I don't seem to be getting vibration notifications
* doesn't seem to be a way of using your own photos for the photos watch face
* doesn't seem to be a way of editing the call reject text messages
* strap is very awkward to put on and for the heart rate monitor you need to have it on pretty tight which is tricky to do one handed with the kind of clasp it has.
* **the movement to wake the watch is a bit hit or miss. it doesnt seem to be just a matter of flicking the wrist or moving up to face.** (this is beginning to be a problem. it is pretty random if it wants to wake up from movement or not. cant work out if it dependant on which watchface or not). i reallllllllllly don't want to have to touch the watch to see notifications etc.
* to even entertain viewing it outside, you have to manually crank the brightness up to max else it is pretty much unreadable. and thats in the UK sunshine!!!
other than that, it seems to be a nice watch.
i feel like i just wasted 180 quid

The lockscreeen unlock feature relies on Android L, not the watch.
The strap is replaceable. I have 2 Silicone ones from Amazon ready to go.
And this is Google Now on your wrist. Yes it's first generation and has plenty to improve upon. But it's essentially meant to be Google Now on your wrist.
Just be happy you got yours! Haha. I'm refreshing the UPS page like a mad man (had it delivered to work.... But I received the day off. Hahaha)
STILL way way better than that Tiezen BS Samsung tried out... Be positive!!
(Keep in mind I have a gear 1 and love it)
Yep, cradle is annoying
Vibrate is very slight I hardly ever notice it
All apps need to support wear before they can be interacted with (contacts, emails, messages etc if using a non google product)
Strap clasp doesn't feel very secure
love how light it is
has google now integration which so far has been hit and miss 70/30
always on face is cool (except still emits light in dark rooms)

yeah i had a feeling it might be a L feature. although its a bit annoying as i had the same feature with my Pebble using an app called Pebble Locker which basically bypassed the requirement for entering a pin etc if the watch was connected to the phone. So its defintely possible without L. hopefully someone will make a quick little app to do that
I will be ordering a metal braclet style strap sometime soon, like i had on my pebble. much more comfortable.

yeah the vibrate is VERY slight. it took me a while to realize it was doing it. I hope they add an option to change the intensity of the vibration as I'm pretty sure it is capable of a more stronger vibe.

Agreed. App will be out soon. I already have 5 exclusive Wear apps ready & waiting. Hahha.
I wish they gave us the nicer strap from Gear 2. Not this BS from Gear Fit... Oh well.
This is a starter watch... Moto 360 & after will only get better & better. As will the software. LOVE that Google is keeping control.
Coming from Gear Neo; initial observations:
1. Watch has more metal and feels more premium
2. Watch strap is larger, will accommodate larger wrists but the clasp is junk compared to the neos.
3. OS is a little overwhelming right now, which I actually think is good. After 30 minutes, I am still cant do much- Iam not concerned with "watch cant do" xxx yet.
4. I have had 2 OS updates in the first hr.
5. Gear Manager seems to be a little more straight forward than Wear Manager but it is too new to make a final call on that
6. Watch is fast! "Okay google, what is the capital of NY?" is recognized and answered immediately.
7. Interface is smooth as silk
I use skiplock to bypass the lock screen. Works with WiFi networks and Bluetooth devices

Here's my opinions after receiving the watch today. See if you have the same thoughts, thefunkygibbon:
I was quite pleased that it is not really big
the set up process was easy enough but took quite a while - I think mainy due to downlaoding a firmware udate
there's quite a learning curve in using this new OS
the watch is a bit useless at the moment because it is constantly disconnecting so it is just a simple watch - I need to find out how to correct this
I noticed the battery on my phone goes down fast when the watch is connected.
It really sucks that there is no auto brightness
the notifications work really well and look great with the picture backgrounds

You can start apps without voice by going to the Google voice prompt then swiping all the way down to Start...

Feels to me like we are missing a launcher. Voice control is great, but there are times it just won't work and the method above is cumbersome.
Any other negative points? I want to buy a gear live soon...but I rather hear the reviews first. I'm guessing the problems listed all here are going to be on the LG G watch and the Moto 360 since most of the complaints seem to be Android wear related.
Be careful w attaching or taking off charging cradle. Reports show breaking off or breaking piece off phone. Thought mine coming in today but, scheduled for tomorrow.

Just a couple quick notes:
- I noticed that I can somewhat bypass the lockscreen. I'm currently on 4.4.4. (S4 - KangaKat) When I have the watch open the app on my phone or perform an action on the phone, I can simply press the home button (or side power button) and I do not have to swipe my pattern.
- Vibration notifications SHOULD be working. There were two system updates that were done when I first connected the watch. Perhaps that's the issue?
- I am able to see that I have a notification without turning on the watch. When I swipe it up, I get more details, which I can then swipe away, so that the next notification with show on the screen. I think this is just a matter of managing the notifications and making sure that you are top of them. Swiping them away & handling them as they come in.
- Yes, outside sucks. Today is pure sunlight, I was having trouble seeing it with a setting of 3. I was able to view it better when I put my hand over it. Not much different from trying to look at portions of my phone's screen in the outdoors with a similar brightness.
All in all, I'm pretty satisfied and I understand that this is first gen. I am hoping that through some proper feedback to google / developers, we start to see some software updates & applications developed that further the watch's capabilities. For now, though the notifications are great....although I wish I could not have it send work emails to the watch. The thing vibrates non-stop.

can't you blacklist apps? or do you use the same app for work and personal email?

I have not seen yet that you can blacklist apps. Since it uses native notifications, the only way I can see to prevent this would be to disable email notifications altogether Not something I want to do. I will either just have to have the notification sit there and disappear as I check my emails / dismiss the notification. Hopefully, there are some changes in the future on this.

You are correct. I missed that completely. I have muted my email application, let's hope tomorrow is a little more quiet. Thanks for pointing that out!
