I just upgraded last night from a Band 2, to a Band 4. It's a great upgrade, but 2 things stumped me.
One, as the title states, my watch vibrates, and shows information for numerous apps, and apps I've selected within the Mi Fit app, except for the Clock app.
None of my actual alarms are triggering the watch to notify me of any of my alarms on my phone.
I'm pretty sure I've set all permissions within the app, and of all the apps that it can work with, I would think Clock would be the main one!
I'm also having the same issue with an app called "Alarm Calendar Plus" which creates alarms from calendar events.
I get rich, color notifications of people having questions about Wal-Mart while shopping this their this evening, but can't get it to simply vibrate when it's time to get up.
The on watch alarm app works as intended, but is not ideal for my situations, and in the end , I would just like to find a way to get this seemingly simple task to function correctly.
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi,
Being a recent convert from Windows Mobile, I'm noticing how the alarms and notifications of applications seems separate from each other rather than integrated. Has anybody else noticed this, or is it just me? Also, what is the technical difference between an alarm and a notification? Everything seems to be a notification rather than an alarm.
Is there any suggested techniques/configuration to ensure all of my apps use the same notifications/volumes etc without me having to go to every single app and configure it? Also is there a way to configure how the vibration works system-wide? Every single app seems to have their own settings and its a bit of a pain. I also prefer a "longer" vibration in case I miss something (the phone is usually in my pocket).
Also does anybody have recommendations regarding applications which can repeat or remind me for missed events? I want a repeat reminder that I have an appointment coming up, or have missed an SMS or a call (but haven't noticed it) or have received an e-mail? I just want something like to remind me every 5 minutes by playing the sound and/or vibrating, for about an hour - mainly just in case I haven't noticed it - but I don't want it going on forever in case I don't have the phone with me and it annoys others!
Thanks,
Ian
I've just downloaded Missed Reminder which does all that I think. Although it's not for calendar reminders, which is annoying.
Hopefully that will change in the future since I can't find anything else that does the same job for calendar reminders - or Google will sort it out and add repeaters.
Hi,
So I recently got a sony SW2 at a firesale price, I've been trying a couple of notification apps - I was basically happy with Informer for my sms, whatsapp & email notifications but it was annoying that if I didn't notice my watch buzz at the time (eg I was riding along on my bike...) there was no visual indication that anything had happened as it dropped back to the clock face with no indication that notifications were waiting.
I've since been using the Augmented Smartwatch Pro trial, and it seems to do what I want - if I get a notification through it, instead of dropping the SW2 all the way back into it's official watchface, it runs in a low power mode showing it's custom watchface, and at the top I get a line with the latest notification (eg SMS from whoever). Once i've seen that I can then put the watch back fully to sleep with the power button (otherwise it seems like it might hammer the battery a bit more).
Unfortunately I'm not exactly wild about the Augmented Smartwatch Interface - it seems to want to do it's own thing which isn't very consistent with the smartwatch the rest of the time, and pretty ugly.
I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of/using any other apps that have similar features? All the ones I've seen seem to pop up notifications but then drop back to the sony watchface within a minute, which is less than ideal (I do a lot of bike riding and don't necessarily notice the watch vibrating when I'm riding, but will occasionally get the chance to glance at it!)
Cheers
There are a Sony widget with a counter for reiceived (not read) notification. So if you put the widget on your face you can see if you have unread notification.

Also with widget with 1 line for last notification and for the next event.

I've blocked the phone and the calendar apps but I still get notifications about calls (accept/reject) and calendar reminders. How do I completely block these apps on my watch?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using XDA Free mobile app
I would like to block the alarm too. I added the clock to blocked apps and Sucker still buzz the crap out of the watch. Want it to stop and don't see a way to do that.
Anyone can help here? I freaking hate my phone alarm buzzing the crap out of my watch. There is NO need for my watch to buzz when my phone alarm goes off. I've put the clock under blocked apps and still it buzzes.
You can go into the Wear app and disable notifications from specific apps. Maybe that will help.
I just hate the constant Google notifications every 5 minutes that has the weather and stocks and whatever else it includes. Somewhere should be a setting to do it once per day or like every 6 hours or something. I swear I dismiss it constantly. With the disconnect issue threads, I am hoping it isn't a standard reconnect procedure to throw up the notification every time.
Also the incoming call will be good once the speaker is activated in the next update
I already have it blocked if that's what you mean. Doesn't work. Already mentioned that in my previous comment.
Hi there,
got my Watch yesterday and one of the main things i wanted to do with it, was to dictate reminders by voice and then get reminded, obviously.
well, dicating the reminder and saving it works just fine.
the problematic part is getting the reminder. if i tell my watch to set a reminder to do something in 10 minutes, it saves the reminder, and that is the last thing i see of it.
the time passes, no notification about the reminder.
if i go into the reminder app on the watch, the reminder is still there under current reminders, but thats quite useless as i have to go into the app to see my reminder.
is there any way to notify me on a reminder?
OK, i found out that i forbade Google Now to send me notifications, that was it.
But now i have another Problem.
If i set a reminder for something half an hour from now, it notifies me on it immediately and not when it is supposed to notify my. Is there some setting to rectify this? as i cant seem to find anything, sadly.
I too noticed this issue and I am surprised no one is responding. If I set a reminder on the watch, the watch or the phone should make some kind of noise but it do not.
When i receive notifications in my phone they also get pushed to my MB4. When i open to see my new messages in my phone for example viber, the notifications in MB4 are cleared automatically. This behaviour also clears all the notifications including reminders and other, resulting in losing my reminders for the day.
Why is that?
I would expect band to show only active notifications, anything dismissed on the phone should be cleared on the band too. If band clears also active notifications, it might be a bug and you can report it from Mi Fit to get it addressed. Also you could try playing with Notify & Fitness app, it offers many options for notifications customisation, maybe it'll fulfil your needs.
