Hi, i think the title says it all
im new in this NFC thing, recieved my tags yesterday and i spend the day playing with it!
but i have one question / problem and i dont know if its possible, i want to enable the alarm, but the alarms i already had programed in my clock,
but i can only create new alarms.
i tryed dozens of nfc apps in playstore, and all have the same function to alarm, they add a new one instead of enabling the existing ones..
any workaround for this ?
thanks
The reason for this is that pretty much all alarm apps (including stock) allow for multiple alarms, so if you tap a tag that is just supposed to turn your alarm on, it wouldn't know which one. The Samsung Tectile app kinda has a work around - you set up an alarm within the app, then you can create a tag to just turn on, turn off, or toggle that one alarm in the app. Of course, this is dependent upon you having a phone that the Samsung Tectile app is compatible with and also having 1K tags because their app uses more memory for a simple task than any other NFC app out there.
That's the only nfc app I know of that has a feature kinda like what you are wanting to do. Hope that helps.

The reason for this is that most apps use the ALARM intent to set alarms. Some apps (like the stock AOSP clock package) identify duplicate alarms and enable them rather than creating new alarms. Others (like HTC and Samsung's clock packages) create a new alarm every time.
To get around this you could try operating directly on the alarms databases (assuming they are exposed via a content resolver and there's a listener to pick up the changes).
Would just turning alarm volume up or down to mute accomplish what you want?

I have been on the look out for sometime for an app that did what WhoIsIt did for customizing your Ringtones/SMS/Notifications and vibrate settings in Gingerbread for ICS. WhoIsIt currently will allow you set Custom ringtones and SMS notification sounds, but the vibrate settings are totally broken. Also the notifications for apps like Gmail that are supported in the program no longer work. In order to customize the notification sounds for apps, you'll need to change the settings in each app which can become time consuming instead of the central management that was provided by WhoIsIt in GingerBread. My current solution is to:
Use WhoIsIt to customize my Ringtones and SMS sounds. I then use ViBe to use custom Vibrate settings for specific contacts. And finally Notifications for apps like Gmail, I usually change the notifications in each one.
If anyone knows of a less involved solution for ICS based ROMS, please feel free to let me know, Also i hope I might have been somewhat informative to those that have ran into this issue when trying to use an App like WhoIsIt to customize there phone.
Just use Zedge works for me

I used to use Ringdroid, which from what I can tell, does not work on ICS either.

Hey guys I'm on Jellybean and this being my first smartphone, I'm not sure how to go about this. I have seen people with iPhone get notifications (popups) when they have an upcoming event.
Is there a way to do that with the galaxy nexus?
I dont want a changing color LED or a ringtone, just a popup on screen near the time of the event. If not a pop-up, just something at the notification bar. Thanks
When creating / editing event, scroll towards bottom and you have option to set a reminder and timescale for the reminder(s). Can have notifications on phone and/or an email reminder

Notifications/reminders as in "Pick up milk and eggs" or "call xyz at 7pm"? Grab a tasking app like Astrid (it's free from the play store) and it will do exactly that (and much more if you want it to)

You can set reminders in the form of an alarm from Google now.
For example: if you say "remind me to pick up dinner at 5pm" it will set an alarm with the tag "pick up dinner" for 5pm
calendar snooze is an excellent must have addition to the stock calendar. Its excellent.
Hi all
i used to use 3rd party alarm clock apps until the 4.2 update which introduced a rather polished feeling clock app that i really like all is perfect from the timer to the world clock but there's one really REALLY simple feature that i don't have a clue how to do
CHANGE THE ALARM RINGTONE
and i am dead serious i ca't find a way to change it! theres only potassium hassium sium this sium that ....so any help ?
take any sound you want to use as an alarm.
create a folder on 'sdcard'
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
put sounds in there
select from list in alarm app
You can change alarm sounds. I use Zedge application to download ringtones and alarm tones and notification alert tones. You can set it directly from within the app. They have a huge collection. Go have a look at it too
Is there any way for Zooper to pull the time of active alarms in Timely? I can only seem to pull the stock alarms, but I never use the stock alarm app.
I suppose I could mess around with tasker and have tasker pull the timely alarms and set the stock alarm to match, and vice versa but that seems a little convoluted.

If Timely doesn't use Android's native alarm settings, you'll have to go through Tasker. Only the alarms reported by the system are currently supported in Zooper.

Thanks for the response duder. You know if there's timely extension for tasker? I'm not pulling it up on the big list of plugins.
Seeing as its one of the most popular apps on Play for one of the most often functions of a smartphone that it'd make a great addition to the short list of Zooper's app integration priority!

After a quick search it seems like there is no plugin available. Might be that even the mighty Tasker is not able to get the alarm settings out of Timely.
I can't speak for the Zooper devs but judging from their development focus up to now, I don't think extended app integration is a priority. Especially, if those apps don't provide any way to actually get the data as it seems to be the case with Timely.
Everyone including myself has the issue where once a day my phone stops getting notifications on my phone. It seems to be pretty wide spread but at the same time, some people don't have the issue at all. Which makes me think maybe it's a 3rd party app killing notification. So anyone who has the notification issue list all of your apps and maybe we will find one we all have in common.
To make this easy grab the app "List my apps" from the app store and edit the plain text template to remove the package name and just give you nice list of apps you can copy and paste .

Ok seeing how nobody is responding to my thread let me ask everyone this
How many people with the notification issue are running facer?
When I started having notification issues this was my app list:
- iHeartRadio
- Calculator
- UP by Jawbone
- Whoopee Wear
- Weather WatchFace
- Specialized WatchFace
- Planets WatchFace
- Swing by Swing Golf Scorecard
I then uninstalled all watchface apps and apps I don't use and reset Android Wear and the watch:
- iHeartRadio
- Calculator
- UP by Jawbone
- Whoopee Wear

Thanks for responding. But I Recommend you give a full android application list. Because other applications do push notifications such as Textra.
does acDisplay install on Android Wear? because i only listed my watch apps - which is where the problem is. The watch. Not the phone. At least not in my case.
In my case, the watch was receiving notifications, but wasn't alerting me of them.

I think this is why people wont respond because there are simply too many apps. Each person on here probably has 20-50 that are completely different from the next person. It would take a monumental effort to find a commonality between devices, something that should be Google's responsibility. It will simply be too difficult to filter through all the different apps people are using amongst each other.
The best attempt at self-diagnosis would be to just run your phone in a vanilla state and progressively installs apps one after the other over a period of several days to see if you can break the watch, then you would know which app is causing it. For instance the only apps I have really pushing notifications are Gmail, Google Messenger, and Exchange email. However even then, by just having Gmail connected I am going to get other things like Calendar updates, ToDo reminders, etc. Some things we may not even be able to disable so we'll never know where the culprit is.
Ultimately it shouldnt really be any of the apps since everything worked fine before the damn update to 5.x. Anyone know if it's possible to downgrade to 4.x?

If people would post using the app I mentioned above. I'll sort through and find a common denominator.
