    Post Notification problems

    This morning's Gear Manager update seems to have fixed some of it. Email notifications have been clearing for me when I delete the email at least. I still have a stuck "Missed Call", and I don't think it cleared a G+ notification, or maybe I didn't give it enough time. Anyway, it looks to be a...

    Post Another gear manager update

    My gmail is working great. It also appears that notifications are clearing for me again when I clear the email on the phone. Not sure about other apps. I still have a stuck "Missed Call" notification from a few days ago.

    Post Notification problems

    It broke for me too on the first update to Gear Manager after I updated to the Euro MK7 rom. It's been driving me crazy. When I first put MK7 on it was working perfect until the next update of GM. Now none of the notifications will clear automatically, for any app.

    Thread [Q] Stock Music player Smart Volume function won't stay checked

    I use the stock player because it works very well with the Gear and because other players won't send track/title info to my headphones, probably due to changes in BT 4. Anyway, on the stock music app, I set the Smart Volume option, and the next time I open the player it's back to unchecked...

    Post Top 5 uses for your Galaxy Gear

    1: Notifications. Knowing who emailed me or texted me without picking up my phone is huge. 2: Music control. It works great with the stock music app, and even shows album art on the watch. I can be on the treadmill with my BT headphones and the phone completely hidden away and change songs and...

    Post Bad battery life from professional reviewers

    I've been off charger for 6 hours. Brightness 4, timeout 15, pedometer running. I'm down 9%, so roughly 1.5% per hour. Light usage, mostly to change songs on the phone with the media player and checking the time. That should work out to 2.7 days.

    Post [APP] Gear Getter - based off Pebble Notifier - v1.2 <No More Development>

    So far so good! Gmail is sending full subject and body of emails! However, when you click "Show On Device" it launches the stock email client instead of gmail. It sounds like that's because it uses the email notification methods.

    Thread Google Now responses come from Gear, not phone.

    I turn on my phone, open Google Voice Search, and ask it a question, and the answer comes from the watch. This seems to be the only app that does this, all my other notification sounds and media sounds come from the phone normally, but Google Now wants to talk through the Gear. It's not a big...

    Thread [Q] Automatically set volume/silent/vibrate?

    At work we have this unwritten rule that cell phones have to be silent. I use Tasker to shut everything off and turn on vibrate. I would love it if there was a way to do this with the Gear as well. Atooma does nothing with sound that I can see. Anyone heard of anything that might work?

    What are you talking about? The app is free, they're giving the cable to everyone who's bought the dock for free. I don't see anywhere where they're asking for more money. Maybe you should wait to see if they start charging for the app before bitching about how they're charging for the app. The...

    Only negative I see with any of these solutions is trying to use it while it's sitting on a table. I use my note as a notebook at work. It sits flat on my desk and I'm writing on it instead of post-it-notes.

    Post Why is Google Maps trying to piss me off? (Screenshot)

    ^ This. You have some app that is hooking into location services that is running all the time that she doesn't have on her phone. The facebook app is famous for this, but there are others that use "Check In" or Messenger type functions that will constantly ping your location.

    Stock for now. I paid full price for it, so I probably won't root while it's under warranty. My main reason for rooting has always been to disable bloatware, which is now built into JB anyway.

    Post How should the perfect Vehicle Dock for Note II look like? From iBOLT...

    That is fantastic news! Not all of us have bluetooth enabled vehicles. It's still not standard on most new vehicles. It wasn't in my 2012 Tundra for example. Just to be clear, this means that even though I bought your xProDock last week (via Amazon), I will be getting the audio cable?

    Post Looking for an app that can set more precise volumes and works with Tasker

    It's my sms tone specifically. If Tasker could change the default sounds for things other than the ringer it would be perfect. The suggestion of changing the volume of the file directly is probably the best for now.

    Thread Looking for an app that can set more precise volumes and works with Tasker

    I use Tasker to set my volumes down low when at work, but even at level 1, the Note 2 is pretty damn loud in an office. Is there any equalizer apps that work with Tasker to set the volume levels lower than 1?

    If you turn off AutoSync, it's not going to sync and you're not going to get Pull notifications, but Push notifications should still work.

    It works just fine, but my problem is I like to have a screen timeout of 10 minutes, and manually turn my phone off when I want. Half the time I would click it off and set it down, it would immediately wake back up because my hand was over/near the sensor as I set it down.
