works just fine with the Butterfly S
there arent a lot of apps yet and there are quite a few that are paid (which i'm fine with, as long as the price is right)
i get all the notifications i want on my watch, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, calls, sms, i can even set who i want to get notifications from, so the watch doesnt get flooded
there also is a call handling app that can replace the stock one, adds functionality like reject call and send an sms. i've mailed the developer and asked if he can add reject call with whatsapp message, he's going to look into it
feel free to ask questions, will answer as quick and thorough as i can

can it tell the time?
Hi I have a couple of questions.
1. whats it like in direct sunlight, I remember the first one being horrible ....
2. When you get a notification does it pop up on the screen or do you just get like a badge notification. What I mean is say, for example, you got an sms, does the sms message pop up straight away so you can read it there and then, or do you just get a badge on the sms icon with a (1) notifying you that you have a new sms.
If you could let me know that'd be great
Cheers
1 - the screen has 3 states:
- standby, shows the time, without using backlight, readable inside, in direct sunlight it gets even more readable. unreadable in the dark.
- backlight on, shows the time with backlight, good for low light conditions or when its fully dark, easy to read in sunlight as well
- menu/apps/messages with backlight, same as the second one
so yes, its no problem using it in direct sunlight, both with or without backlight
2 - messages are displayed as text, with a little icon so you know if its a sms, mail, twitter, facebook, etc
ofcourse for longer messages, it wont show all the text, but it will show a text or twitter message in full (so 144 characters is the max)
there are some things that could be improved ofcourse
-i would like to be able to set the timeout for the backlight
-same thing for how long messages are displayed
-the remote camera app doesnt work, or doesnt work with the Butterfly S
-more watch faces
i will contact Sony Support to ask them about those issues

I use my phone for Calendar and meeting events, etc
I had a Palm years ago and a Nokia communicator that would Notify of an evet or Voicemail and keep chiming until acknowledged.
How do I get something like this on the Note? If I am not next to the phone and hear the whistle or check it, I don't know if anything triggered?
Noled will show a fake notification light which works well for me. It also has a vibrate every x minutes function that I'm not sure is working for me. I tried vibrate notify but I had problems.
It might be conflicting with smart vibrator. Not sure.
Still looking for a working vibrate reminder.

I too use my android devices for events, tasks, project planning and such and it is so much better than the Palm was or will ever be!
As for the app I recommend using: pocket informant. It works great with toodledo and google calendar (and also gtasks, but I don't use that).
*see below for answer @ question.

You might want to use: Missed message flasher free. It has the option to light up the screen, use the notification lights and vibrate with:
- calendar, email, gmail, go sms pro, g+, gtalk, gvoice, k9mail, missed calls, skype, sms & mms, whatsapp and if the phone is set into silent mode, you can also choose to disable the vibrate option. Also in the donate version you can choose the option 'other apps'.
I use it with pocket informant and maildroid (free version) and it works absolutely great!

Noled doesnt affect your battery while on standby with flashing led ? no extra drain no cpu use ?

Interesting stuff here. How about missed calls or VM's?

Its fine. The nature of amoled is that only the lit portion of the screen drains battery. It's pretty minimal. Give it a try.

Missed call are supported but I don't know what VM's are. If it's a messaging type of thing that is than also support I guess.
I think the program just uses the notification bar as a source to act because pocket informant isn't in the list and it does still reacts when a reminder is sent to me via the program itself.
Hello,
I have the ATT Galaxy Note and use it as my pager via text messaging. I would like to have text messages, with phone numbers, appear and stay on the lock/home screen when they come in until I look at them or reply to them. Is this possible to do with the Note? I don't want to have to unlock the phone and drill down into the apps every time I get a text to be able to respond to it. I was able to do this with my iPhone.
Thank you.
On my non-password lock screen I get a missed call & new SMS notice circle. holding and dragging that opens the relevant app. I cannot recall if I get this when I have a password set. I use Llama to set / unset the password depending on location so I don't need to unlock while at home or at work.
I also use SMS Pro from the Go Launcher Pro suite (although I do not use the launcher). It pops up a window with my latest SMS and lets me answer, delete, open or just close it.
I use the stock widget showing me emails. I cannot set that to unread ones only, and the colour difference of unread emails is not enough, but it's kind of OK.
That gives me all I need.
This forum is for the international galaxy note not the i717.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
apps like handcent sms, pansi sms (not a bad app, was testing it today) or go sms allows you to achieve what you wish to do.
if you're talking about the full monty, including emails, etc, you could try Executive Assistant. This has more powerful features including lock screen information. be warned however if you use a passcode lock this will not work
Hi. Long time iPhone user but new to Android as of two weeks ago. Bought the HTC One (AT&T) and am loving it so far.
However, I have been having issues concerning notifications through a couple apps. Specifically the MLB At Bat app and the CNN app. Let me start by saying that I have received notifications without issue when it comes to email, texts, and Facebook.
Now, with At Bat, I have notifications set up in the settings for the app (specifically for my favorite baseball team), and I technically do get notifications. What I mean by that is, if I happen to turn on my phone, I will see that a notification previously came in. However, I do not receive any audio or vibration feedback to accompany the notification. So, the phone doesn't actually alert me. The same case is true with the CNN app. In the settings for the app, I have set up to receive notifications for breaking news. Again, I technically get the notifications sent to my phone, so they will be there when I happen to check the phone for whatever reason. But when the notification is sent, I am not alerted in any way (no tone or vibration).
As I said before, I get notifications (accompanied with audio tone and vibration) without issue when it comes to emails, texts, and Facebook. I have scowered the system settings and the settings on the individual apps but everything appears to be in order. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you fine folks can provide.
edit: Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both apps, but nothing has changed.

i think that android apps are not AS GOOD AS IPHONE's.......
its more apps developers problem than HTCONE......
i think you gotta sell this one and buy iphone 17S....
PS. sorry i just had to write that......
I just got my g watch r. I really like it but it does not show any texts when I get them, just that I have a message waiting. Emails show up and I can read them, but not texts. Am I doing something wrong or does this watch simply not display texts???
the way text messages are displayed totally depends on the app you are using
I switched to evolvesms when getting my watch as it displays the whole text even for long messages, shows high quality contact pics and lets you define you own canned responses
If using the stock Samsung sms app, you need to make sure the option to display texts on the lockscreen is turned on.

thanks guys, I switched to google hangouts as my default text messaging app and it worked just fine. I was worried there for a moment!
The subject says it all -- I run Google Messages for SMS because I use messages.android.com pretty regularly. However, it doesn't play audio notifications in the always-on screen -- it vibrates and shows the icon. I've been through every setting I can find. It plays notifications if the screen is fully on.
I did use the LG app to move from a G6 to the V40, but I did a "clear data" on the Messages program afterwards since it had my contact/message history all mixed up. (Thought it was interesting that it was able to restore some of the messages after clearing -- I suppose T-Mobile has a certain amount of history stored.)
I've thought about asking in the Google product forums but support quality over there is dismal, at best.
I've had the same/similar experience and I'll clarify.
When the screen open and I'm already texting "in that thread" there is no sound, but it does vibrate.
However, it will audio a notification and vibrate if a text comes in on another thread.
BTW: I'm using Message+ through Verizon ... so we seem to be experiencing similar situations using different texting apps.
It behaves the same way when e-mailing. If I've got an e-mail thread open and another email comes into that thread, then it'll only vibrate, however, it'll make an audible sound and vibrate if it's a new e-mail or part of another e-mail thread.
Don't know why and can't find a solution. I don't care when it's a text-message as I see the screen move when the new text come in the thread I'm reading/typing in, yet it is an issue in e-mails as e-mails tend to be longer form and I forget to check for new replies in the thread I'm working in and have missed an e-mail or two.
A second part of this is that there's no visual notification in the Notification Bar if a text or e-mail comes in while I was in that thread ... again, not an issue with texts as I see the text-screen move with each newly received text, but it is a big deal with e-mails.
Being honest ... this isn't turning into the phone I hoped it would be. There's a lot of wonky things that are more disruptive than helpful. I've been offered $550 dollars and a great set of ear-bud to trade this phone in for the Galaxy S10 ... although it's as locked down as any new phone could/would be, I can get that deal directly from Samsung and get an "Unlocked" version so I wouldn't be handcuffed to Verizon anymore.
I'm SERIOUSLY considering it.

I agree with you on all that. I was super pumped about this phone and 3 months down the road it has been nothing but a HUGE disappointment. I've been asking $550 as well to get rid of it and go back to Samsung but no luck. Never going to LG again.
