[Q] Google Now notifications on lock screen - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings. Bought my Galaxy Tab S about 2 weeks ago and am loving it.
It is WiFi only but use Mobile Hotspot when needed (AT&T).
It is not rooted.
My question is, is there any way to get a list of my Google Now reminders to show up on the lock screen. (I use the fingerprint scan).
My "up coming events" (from the calendar) show up as well as the weather, etc, but I cant seem to figure out how to get the Google Now reminders to show up.
Is there an alternate lock screen, launcher, app, Google Now setting, that I can use to list the reminders on the lock screen?
P.S. the Google Now reminders trigger just fine.

Google Now has a widget which can be added to the lockscreen, maybe that will show reminders?

Help - lost sliding panel after installing skype

Hi, I had Ricky's v24 ROM installed and running a weather forecast on the home screen. After installing Skype, the home screen changes color to blue - Skype's color, which I don't mind. But, the home screen got changed to WM 6 style and I lost the sliding panel and the weather forecast. After removing Skype, everything went back the way it was. But I kind of like to have Skype on my phone. Any solutions?
Thanks!
After you install Skype go to Settings -> Home Screen and change it back from the one that Skype installs to the one you are currently using. I believe when you install Skype it installs it's own home screen and selects it.
"Home Screen" is not in the settings

Thanks for the suggestion! I've just installed the latest from Skype, version 2.2.0.44. "Home Screen" is not in the Settings:
- Language
- Emoticons:
- Echo cancellation ON
- Play sound on new events
Privacy:
- allow calls from
- allow chat from
- allow skypeIn from
- Forward & Voicemail
- Connection
As you can see, nothing about home screen Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Q how to use a different calendar when tapping on notifications

Hi,
I have installed me another calendar app (aCalendar). When i get notifications in the topbar my phone uses the build in calendar. How can i avoid this and use aCalender?
Thanks
Ateshga
You mean you're getting both default calendar and aCalendar notifications at the same time?
Go into the default Calendar app and select the account it's synced too and uncheck the sync box. Then it'll stop notifying you because it won't be synced to new events.
You need to clear defaults for the gmail app. then you can select which app to do the action you want next time you click it.

Doesnt work here.
Is my calender app perhaps the problem? It uses the build in calendar so it might not handle the notifications...
Am i correct? Dont i have to use another app? Which one do you use?
Thanks in advance
@martonikaj no i just get the googlecalendar notification. Sorry overread your question in first place...
Bye
Hi
It doesnt work till today. I tried several calendars now (jorte, quick and lately business calendar) The problem remains The Same: when i pull down Thema notification bar where The event notification pops up and select the event The phone jumps in the Google calendar.
Is this an ICS problem?
What am i doing wrong?
Please help.
Thx
Ateshga
Whichever app is providing the notification will open when you click. You need to set up notification with your desired app and disable notification in the unwanted app - of course, having said that, I'm not sure those options are available, so it may just be easier to freeze the undesired app instead...
Hi i now found my failure: i got what i paid for. Free apps mostly dont support notifications.
I now bought an app (business calendar) and all is fine now.
Seems i have to learn a bit more about the android world.
Thx for the help i got ...
A.
I started using Business Calendar. I removed notifications for the default calendar, but I forgot to remove sync. The notification bar would never clear, now I think I know why. Thanks martonikaj.

Help!!!! Alarm is useless! It just doesn't go off!!!

Hi. I have a gt7100 and the stock alarm is abysmal. I have to use the stock because it is the only one that works past my lock screen.
Just to clarify - It doesn't activate itself, so It fails to come on. Hence I've gotten up very late on a couple of occasions.
It is definitely on, and is set to repeat every week....
It does work if you set it for 1 minute later and just wait, but if you leave it, something happens which makes it not go off.
Somebody was saying something about programs that could cause this, but I don't have ANY lock screen widgets..... Is that even possible? I don't have widget locker installed.

Please help as I just got my old iPhone 4 to use as my alarm (Airplane Mode). Really want to get this problem fixed. Can't stand using the iPhone as my alarm.
Also my phone is on stock Touch Wiz 4.1.1 - Rooted. And I use Nova Launcher Prime 2.0
It's understandable why some people just stick with basic iPhones now!
Has nobody experienced this sort of issue? Alarm has always gone off?

Disable Samsung Calendar

Hi guys,
If you are annoyed with samsung calendar and can't disable it within the phone like on AT&T, you can use Debloater by Gatesjunior to disable sCloudSyncCalendar and SPlanner. Now when you respond to an invite in gmail (or anything else) it'll ask to set up a new default calendar. I selected Google Calendar that I got from the play store, so I can now have them go right to the google calendar (even though previously I couldn't change the default action from taking me to S Planner.)
Awesome app! I was able to hide a lot of junk that I don't use! I wish I could find a way to get rid of the S Finder/Quick Connect in the notification shade. Disabling those in the Debloater didn't get rid of the two options in the notification shade. Maybe because I'm not rooted.
Since the notification shade is "hard wired" with s finder text, this definitely wouldn't remove it. Nonetheless, it was a great method to remove a bunch of useless Att bloatware.
can someone tell me what i need to disable to get rid of the music app and the internet app?

If your device is rooted, you can used the app specified in the OP. Otherwise, try Package Disabler Pro (Samsung) by policedeveloper.

[Q] how to bring back weather notification on android wear

Hi,
My setup is:
Sony smartwatch 3 with android wear 1.4.0.2715035
Note 5 with 6.0.1
Before i upgraded the android wear to the new version, each morning i had a notification of the current Weather.
Now the only option to see it - i need to open on my watch the Google app and there i can see the Weather update.
Is there any option to bring it back ? (tried to play with settings on google now cards - on and off to the weather options)
*Please note i still get notification from google now like "30min to home" the google maps update
Thanks in advance

I get weather notifications but I use a weather widget on my Phone for the weather... So maybe try that... there are quite a few that support wear .
No weather card on my SW3 since a long time, same things happen also on my LG-R since few days.
I use now an app "Weather Timeline" wich send weather card on wear watch like the Google Now Card but with a next forecast hours and next few day screen. More option to refresh and select provider source.
