Best Alarm Clock for Xperia?

I need a new alarm clock for my Xperia. The basic alarm on the phone does not wake me up so I have been using G-Alarm since I bought the phone. G-Alarm is awesome but before it used to be free. This is not the case anymore. If I am going to have to pay I might as well explore my options. What is the absolute very best alarm clock for the Xperia? I hear the PocketClockPro or whatever is pretty good but what does everyone else think?
Thank you

Use an older version of G-Alarm? They're still free if you can find the CAB files. Luckily I still have one on my phones SD so I rolled back to that instead of the latest version.

I would suggest PTravel Alarm, along with its wake-up tweak. Functionally, it is approaching perfection, including ease of use.
The only slight downside it that there is a thin band across the main alarm screen due to the WVGA effect, but it doesn't affect visibility or functionality.

I'm using the stock alarm clock and it's awesome .

The stock alarm clock sucks...what the heck...you are limited to only 3 alarms...and it is fugly.

It wakes you up in the morning without fail, alarm is loud enough, and snooze has enough options. What else do you need? Does it have to double up as a machine gun also?

a machine gun feature would be nice. What better way to ward off burglars than by wielding your alarm clock? As long as it doesn't overheat the battery I'm good

I use G-Alarm... I wasn't aware there was a buyable version- if that makes sense LOL. I love it. I hated Alarm Monster. DELETE. G-Alarm has MANYYYYYY options, you can have so many different tones to wake your booty butt up going on right after each other. And I love how it tells you how many hours that you don't have left to sleep haha.
Stock alarm sucks. I get SO paranoid I wont hear it after one time, altho I'm always up before my alarm anyways, and theres only 3, I need @ least 3 everyday... what if i need more???
Just my 2 cents.

I use G-Alarm. Paid for it when it became commercial. It's not let me down yet. The 3 standard WM alarms isn't enough for me. I use at least three for week 1 and three for week 2. Then some random ones in between.
I find it easy to use now I've been using it for a while, export my alarms and just import them again when doing a hard restart. Too easy.
But I'm a bunny, just a 45 year old kid according to some I guess.

This version of Galarm works best, and it's for free

I would highly suggest G-Alarm. I have never seen such a great alarm applicationbefore. Worth every penny because you will definitely wake up to and believe me, me waking up is not easy.

Battery use
And what about the battery use with G-Alarm? does it spend much energy?

I haven't noticed any negative affects on the battery by using g-alarm. I just ended up downloaded the latest version of g-alarm that didn't require money. I am all good but often times my alarms F up. it is kind of annoying. like instead of sound the alarm the phone will vibrate. it wakes me up but its an error message so i can't snooze it, and i like snoozing my alarms so i can sleep longer

Just started using the G-alarm cab posted here and am really liking it, very reliable so far and customizable.
I did try the more recent demo version of G-Alarm but found it to be overly complicated compared to the one posted here.
Will stick to the free one me thinks

[Q] Vibration not strong

Coming from the Pebble, the vibration on the Gear Live is pretty weak.
Is there a way or setting to increase it?

I don;t think there is one (yet) and I agreed, the vibration notification is really brief and really subtle

I agree, i'm really excited about Android Wear, but am very disappointed in how weak the vibration notification are. I've read other similar complaints about the "gear 2". I compared it to a friends gear fit vibration, and the live is much weaker. The gear fit's vibration is audible, which is maybe why samsung chose to make it weaker, since the "gear live" vibration is pretty silent. I can feel it when i'm wearing the watch tight enough to cut off my circulation, but it's uncomfortable that way! When i wear it a notch or two looser, i just miss notifications. I setup a recurring text cron to myself to test it, and i'm missed most of them when i'm not paying attention to the watch explicitly. I'd love a setting to increase the vibration, or to allow a multiple vibrations for notifications or something, but as is, unless that happens in the next few days, i'm prepared to return the watch and wait for a new model with good good vibrations.

Its app Dependant. For example, evolvesms, the vibration is much stronger.

Thanks. Zach. Hopefully some custom roms can fix it across all apps. Mostly I need hangouts and timers to be more noticeable.

This vibration is piss poor Samsung. My lord

I don't think Samsung are doing anything rom wise. All google. Surely in future updates they'll have it vibrate stronger. Then again, I've not tried any apps that are able to vibrate it to see if it does actually go stronger

Any news on how to increase vibration? An app or a ROM perhaps? I know the G Watch has a ROM that can customize vibration.

There has to be a way because if you swipe down on the clock face, "mute" shows up with the weak, brief vibration.
Swipe down again and this time it says "unmute" and there is a stronger, longer vibration!
So, it can be done... but how for text or emails?

Possible Solution

I have written a guide on the general forum to use tasker and autonotification to produce a stronger vibration for notifications.

Hi,
I have just added a "make notifications vibration stronger" in last SWApp Launcher Wear version:

That's not a Gear, it's a knock off. There's probably nothing behind the camera lens. Here's the back of a real Gear.

Hate to be "that guy" but showing pics of the front and back mean nothing to me. .. for all I know you are trying to sell these things in ebay and you are linking people to this site with the ol "go check out the pics and comments"... it is mega simple for you to post pics of a BS back and jacked up about screen on a knock off gear and screen shots of a legit gear in the same post and pass them off as the same device. .... like I said not to sound like that guy ... just saying what I think. .. I will back pedal on my statements with a simple video post of the device showing all the above screen shots. .. hell you did not even show a pic with the stock Samsung clock. ..[emoji37]

You purchased it "from a guy"? Seems legit. But seriously if you think this is a real Gear, you're wildly mistaken. In fact there are a lot of different rip offs - see below.
The camera doesn't work because it's a fake - furthermore, it's not even running Tizen, as your firmware states : V700XXUBNC1, (AKA android).
Buy cheap, buy thrice and enjoy your cheap knock off

Why wouldn't you update to Tizen considering it's better in every way?! If you think it's genuine, then maybe Tizen will fix your camera issue? Plug it into your PC, what does Samsung Kies say about your device?

Real or not for 30 bucks you win and it works just like a real one kudos bro

Ya I don't think the camera's going to work. It's obviously a very good fake, fair play, but you're not going to get that working. It's a shame because it's the best feature of the gear imo!

Off topic I know, but I am interested in the 'its better in every way?' comment about Tizen. Early on there were teething probems it seemed but it is have been difficult to obtain up to date feedback. I have a Gear that I am considering moving to Tizen, but I have been waiting to learn if early problems have all gone away or were not real anyway.

If I had Tizen on mine, I would gladly throw it away.
Tizen is not everyone. Definitely not for me.

It depends on your problems. My issue was lack of apps. Now the store for Tizen is saturated compared to its former iteration. The battery is better, the way it deals with notifications (esp delete all)! The fact it can play music to a BT device are to name a few. For me I'd not even consider going back to Android.
@hurdlejade Definitely each to their own!

Weak Vibrations

Folks,
Is anyone else bothered by the Weak Vibrations from the LG G Watch R?
The weak vibrations are really starting to bother me .. I assume that a new software update could possibly improve the vibrations strength and duration.
Encourage everyone having the same concerns as me to log a ticket to LG and hopefully this will bring our concerns to their attention and create a new SW update with better vibrations (either strong vibrations or longer duration)

Yes, it is a bit bothering me. I can not notice while running or walking.

I'm trying to learn how to increase it. It looks like it will have to be a kernel implementation, and I am not at all familiar with kernels. I am trying to learn, I see the file that needs to be edited but I am not clear as to how to do it properly and I don't want to supply too much power to it and blow it up.
File is here: https://android.googlesource.com/ke...0-kitkat-wear/drivers/misc/msm_pwm_vibrator.c

So I've made great progress. I have successfully gotten TWRP to boot on our device which opens up all kinds of doors for us.
I have also rooted the device now, so stay tuned guys.

Let us know how you get on. Moving from a Pebble, I hardly notice any notifications from the LG G Watch R ... Very faint vibrations compared to he Pebble. Missed several notifications throughout the day ... How does one log a ticket with LG anyway? Perhaps that's the best move? LG are pretty quick to respond, right?

There is a mod now that makes it better but still not Pebble level. I dont think it will ever get as strong as the pebble but I think pebble might have had an overstrong motorntp begin with. I would say with the mod its at 70% compared to the. Pebble.

View blood glucose level on DW3

I have the GW3 and a Galaxy S20 Ultra. I receive glucose readings from the Dexcom transmitter to my phone. I know that this is a long shot, but I wonder if anyone has been able to pair their Dexcom G6 CGM with the new GW3?

I would also like to know this, especially if it bypasses the annoying Dexcom warning notice screen before showing the reading.

look for the G-Watch App. It has a watchface for the TIZEN watches. Compatible with Dexcom and Abbott Libre + Miao

Thank you! The app installed fine to my watch. However, I didn't particularly like the limited info on the watch face. I found a YouTube video which integrated an app called NightWatch and this did the trick for me. I can use any watch face I want and with a touch of the watch face I can see my reading.
I do greatly appreciate you input because that got me searching!

Get all the details for the fb group for g-watch. You need to select the data source for the settings menu.

G-watch also did not work for me and I did not see a settings menu to select an app (and assumed it used the standard Dexcom one - although I think Dexcom is over the top in guarding its (my) data.
