Question Nest doorbell - Rich notifications - Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

Hi all,
Switched back to android after trying apple for a few months. Im now looking for a watch to replace my AW7, One thing i love about the AW is rich notifications when someone comes to my front door from my nest doorbell which works great. Previous android watches ive had never did this or if they did it was inconstant .
Does the GW5 do this? Showing a pic/video when someone presses the doorbell . Anyone have a nest and GW5 confirm this works?
Thanks

We have Nest cameras and yes the GW5 does show pictures as long as you have notifications for the Nest app setup to notify you on the GW5.

I get a notification on my G Home app but when I click it I have to open it on my phone to see video. How did you do that? Oh, I have a Pixel device maybe that's it?

Mine does it automatically. I just make sure notifications for the Nest app are enabled on my GW5. I have a S22 Ultra. What pops up on my watch is just a picture from the camera that caught it. Most times it is our driveway camera that caught a car driving up the street. If it is a sound then I don't get a picture.

Ok thanks. It must have something to do with the phone then. I might just need a modded home app for it to work.

I also have a Pixel 7 Pro and have had it work fine. I think that it is only certain things like motion that triggers the picture for the cameras. We don't have a Nest doorbell but I would think it works the same.

Hmm. I get those also but usually when a camera has heard a sound. If there is motion, then it shows a picture. My Nest notifications are set to only notify me of stuff when nobody is home.

This is what I just read from December. https://9to5google.com/2022/12/14/google-home-nest-cam-preview-wear-os/
So are you using the Nest app or Google Home. Seems like that's the difference possibly.

I have both as 2 of our 7 cameras are Goggle/Nest Home Hubs and those have to be setup in the Home app for the initial setup. I don't know why mine seems to work. My notifications come from the Nest app as I don't have notifications from the Home app enabled on my phone or watch. I do have the Nest app notifications enabled on both my phone and watch no matter which phone I am using.
I also have some other devices that I monitor through the Home app such as dome smart appliances.
I do remember an article I read either last year or in late 2021 saying that all Nest would be eventually switching over to the Home app and they would be doing away with the Nest app.

I think they might have already ditched it. I just installed the Home app on the watch but still the same. I'll get it and let you know how I did it. Frustrating though since you have it and I don't. lol

That's odd since it was just updated on 12/14/22. It may be some setting I have setup but I wouldn't for the life of me be able to tell you what setting it could be.

I was just guessing. I might try that app but I have to run. I did d/l the Home app but it's still called "preview" with limited functionality. But there is a companion app that might work so I'll try that later. Thanks again.

No luck. I sideloaded the Home companion app but it can't connect. Nest sideload wouldn't load at all after installing. I did see that Samsung is going to update something or other to allow it but that's not yet. Keep your Nest account working I do believe that will be going away soon. Hopefully by that time Samsung will have the new app working.

The nest app will not install on my watch. Which version do you have? Is that the notification app you can open with video? This is just ridiculous they put out an app that does nothing.

I don't have the Nest app installed on my watch. I just have it checked to receive notifications from Nest on my watch.
I don't know what I have done that will cause it to show a picture on my watch for certain notifications. Like I said, it seems to only do it for certain camera events.

Jelly Bean has killed Light Flow

Installed Jelly Bean this afternoon and so far so good.
However, Light Flow keeps crashing, so I can't use it. I've followed all instructions, restarted, removed and reinstalled but still no luck.
Anyone else having the problem, or know of an alternative?
I only need it for Gmail and Handcent SMS.
It's not Jelly Bean - it looks like the latest update to Gmail caused it.

Ah ha, good point. I just assumed it was the update to JB, but you're right, Gmail updated pretty much straight away afterwards aswell.
In that case, hopefully the lightflow guys will be on it pretty quick...

I've just installed 3.5.2LITE and still having the same issue?
What version are you running and is it fixed for you?
I've just checked back on Play and fix in the next few hours, so I'll give it a look in the morning.
Thanks for the pointer though

You start google now by holding the home softkey on the display and move your finger up to the magnifier.
Tip: Don't even try it out, let it disabled. Your phone will have ~30% less runtime when it's activated.

Yeah, I stumbled across it that way aswell and it's disabled, as I've no intention of using it.
I just wish I could also uninstall 'SmartAction', but that's another story for another thread, as keen to get my LED notifications working first.

You can't uninstall SmartAction but you can disable it go going into settings\apps\all apps, find SmartAction and click on the disable button at the top right.

If you're rooted maybe, but you can't if you're not. The only option is to uninstall updates.
New version of Lightflow (3.6.1) in the Play Store that is supposed to fix the problem with Gmail notifications.
Still doesn't show Gmail notifications via the LED on my phone though.
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------
Quick update - I've been in touch with the developer and he suggested the following, which worked with the latest version (3.6.1) for me:
Go into lightflow->notifications gmail, select the gmail label you want (disable and enable it if already enabled) and see if that works.

Virtual Tour Shot Camera Mode

Anyone have any idea how to use this? When I select this mode, I get the pop up window that explains what it is and the message at the bottom to align the circle with the pointer, but the screen shows a blue dot inside the white circle no matter where I'm pointing, which orientation I'm holding the phone and there's no option to activate the camera....it's grayed out, and the settings are for the video only. I can tap on the video button, but then it just records video.
Anyone have any idea how to actually use this mode?
Follow the information on the screen. It'll tell you what to do. The dot will be your focal point and the Circle will eventually pop up. You'll need to go either left or right or straight.

The circle doesn't do anything. I have it pointing down a hall way and nothing happens. ..
once you start panning or moving forward a new circle shows up, you just match the dot to the new circle, very simple
Is it supposed to automatically just detect the "scene" and start? Are there some other settings that, when activated, disable this functionality? Do you have to activate the first shot by hitting the camera button (because if so, mine doesn't let me tap on it).

Ok, after 30 mins with Samsung tech support and then booting up into Safe Mode, we determined that there's some 3rd party app that may be inhibiting the VT Shot function, because it DID work in Safe Mode. I even uninstalled the google camera app.....Although that didn't seem to be the issue.....with this in mind, and knowing that this phone is not rooted, what's the best approach to help identify which app could be the culprit here? I don't want to wholesale factory reset and slowly add one app at a time....any ideas?

SOLVED! I FIGURED OUT THE CULPRIT! On my old S4, I was using the app "Moves" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.protogeo.moves) which was a Pedometer app. But now that S Health is so integrated with the phone, I actually don't need it, so when I removed it, Virtual Tour Shot cam mode started working. Makes sense that the app would interfere with the motion sensor.....

i bet you feel soooooooo relieved. its one of the best feelings in the world to go through meticulous trial and error and finally find the problem. congrats i really know how you feel haha
For sure! Especially because this is my first Android device which I have NOT rooted (victim of circumstance, not elective), so I knew it wasn't because of some weird rooted circumventing process. On the plus side, with s health's built-in pedometer setting, there's no need for Moves anymore.

Xposed module for AA

Hi,
I only like to start a thread about the development of an Xposed module for tweak AA.
Someone is interested on it?
Reagards!

Oh yes - I would be very interested. I just have to wait for another 1-2 months until my car (A4) with AA/CarPlay support will be delivered.
Unfortunately I am not a developer but I'd be one of your first supporters and I will gladly test anything you guys develop .
Since Android Auto has a lot of limitations, an exposed module would be the best way to get rid of them.
Not a lot of replies. Looks like there are still not enough people who have Android Auto . We'll have to wait until it catches on I guess.
yes - I think so, too. But I am also still hoping, that manos78 will start the development anyway
Absolutely. For example here maps for Android Auto would be awesome
would also love to see some android auto mods
Me too !
Let me know if I can help by anyway
I'm interested.
I've got a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX on the way, so I'll be looking at doing some Xposed work, depending on what functionality is missing. Not everything can be done via Xposed (like making Waze work over AA), but it would be good to get an idea of what sort of additional functionality people are looking for on the AA platform.

Hey, it would be great to get rid of the limitation of only viewing few entries in a list when scrolling... I believe this is tracked via GPS, so it would be great to feedback a velocity of 0 to this process only.

Is there an error message shown when you've hit this limitation? I've found "Unlimited browsing is disabled because car is not parked." in the AA apk, but I'm not sure if that's the proper verbiage when it's limiting listview scrolling.

I still have my NEX on my workbench, so I can test this out later tonight. I believe it's in the AA SDK, so that individual apps don't have to determine if the vehicle is in motion or not. Shouldn't be too hard to work around.
Here's a request:
Would like to manage what apps show up on Android Auto (headunit)
For example, sideloaded apps currently do not show up

OMG they messed up the alarm clock.

Just tried to set my alarm clock for the next two hours or so, noting. It keeps pushing for tomorrow's date and plus on top of that the toast message doesn't appear anymore saying " alarm set for 2.4 hours time" .

Works just fine for me. If your clock is 24h make sure you select the right time and not 12 hours out.

My guess would be a Gremlin in the system, it happens on all mobiles. Either that or when you changed mobiles you used your old mobile to copy from or the cloud in which case sometimes things do go wrong.
I was told years ago to always start a fresh with each new mobile. I don't I use Samsung sync but there is ALWAYS some sort of minor **** up and its never perfect. :crying:
Like I wrote sometimes its just down to an odd behaviour...Gremlins as I call it.
I hope you got it sorted?

Message Chat heads

Ok so both me and girlfriend have the note 9 on sprint, when she gets a text she gets the pop up preview and also a chat head. How do you find that option to turn it on. I've checked both settings and are identical but I can't get the chat heads on the messages but hers do. Can someone help me find that feature.?

Ok so both me and girlfriend have the note 9 on sprint, when she gets a text she gets the pop up preview and also a chat head. How do you find that option to turn it on. I've checked both settings and are identical but I can't get the chat heads on the messages but hers do. Can someone help me find that feature.?

Hi, enable edge lighting for the messaging app. When new message arrived, try to pull down the notification. Then it will open the messaging app in a pop-up window, after that you may minimize the window into chat head.
This?

Nope that did not work. It's a chat head for that contact that messages u.
Nevermind. Took a closer look at the icon, it's definitely Samsung Messages. Must be the multi-window thing...
