Hi
I want to buy a Galaxy Gear Fit but unfortunately I see the only way to set an alarm on this watch is via Bluetooth with phone.
I have an S4 but I don't want to use the bluetooth over night in order to have the alarm in the morning because it drains battery and I don't want to get notifications on the watch , I just love the watch .
My question is : Is there any stand-alone apps or is there a way in order to set an alarm on Galaxy Gear Fit without the phone ?
Thanks !

hi can somebody help me if its possible. Is it possible to have the alarm quite loud throught speaker when earphones are plugged in. Many thanks.
I haven't seen an app like this so I don't think it exists. Today I left my house and forgot my phone, I didn't realize it until I was several miles away. I know the Gear 2 Neo beeps when it loses bluetooth connection but I didn't hear it. I'd like an app/feature that causes the Neo to alarm when bluetooth is lost between phone and Neo. It would alarm until turned off. Anyone no of an app like this? Doen't it make sense or is it just me. Thanks.
I need an app like this.
I Drive a truck and I often find myself leaving my phone behind and I have to go back I would love an app that would alarm on my Samsung gear to watch to let me know that I have left my phone behind
Mine Gear vibrates (and displays a message) when BT is connected or disconnected as a standard setup.
On my Note 1 whenever I leave headphones plugged in and I set a morning alarm, the alarm sound is played through the headphones and not through the external speaker so it is very hard to hear.
I am running the latest SlimKat rom and it was the same on CM11.
I tried an app called Alarm Clock Xtreme which has an option to force through the speaker but it didn't work.
Am I stuck with this or is there a hack to get round it?
I have been running the Tizen on my gear since it came out and it has been working great on my S4 for many months. The last two months though after an update came out on the Gear Manager, I am constantly getting gear disconnects and then instantly reconnecting anywhere from 5-10 times a day to 5 times within two or three minutes. Which is dropping my battery quite a bit and also annoying me. Since it vibrates when it disconnects/reconnects I have been ignoring vibrations which sometimes are real calls or texts and when my phone is in silent I am missing many notifications.
Has anyone else seen this problem? I have reflashed the stock OS to my S4, and I have tried the last two versions of Tizen, the one I am running now ends with COA2. I am beginning to think maybe it is the gear or the S4 but not sure which. I can listen to music through my bluetooth headset for my helmet just fine, and I can also stream music to my bluetooth speaker as well. So I think it could be the watch, but it all seemed to start when the Gear Manager 2.2.15011799 came out. Since then another Gear Manager verison has been released (I think it was this week) 2.2.15022599 and it still has the issue. I haven't seen many with this problem, so I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Looks like it was the bluetooth on my S4. The gear works great on other Samsung phones. Just not on mine. I also can't use since bluetooth headsets with my phone. Thanks
Does any body know if there is a way or an app that will allow me to play music via Bluetooth but still have the alarm come through the phone speaker? Here's the situation. I like to listen to music while I sleep but my phone is also my alarm clock. so if my ear-buds come out during sleep "and they usually do" the alarm is coming through the Bluetooth ear-buds and not the phone. I'm a pretty light sleeper so the vibrations have been waking me up so far. But id really like to find a solution to this. Seems like there should be a way especially if your rooted.

It's a long shot, but have you tried Alarm Clock Xtreme? It has the option to force sound to speakers when headphones are plugged in. Not sure if this works with bluetooth but you can give it a shot. Best of luck.

While not an ideal solution for everyone I have two ideas:
I switched a while back to using Timley In doing so I tried to recreate your scenario: bluetooth headphones listening to music and the alarm goes off. It rang in the earphones AND on the phone at normal phone alarm volume.
However I know switching apps can be a lot to ask of someone so my next idea is to use either Tasker or Automagic to have bluetooth turn off at a certain time which would force your phone to play the alarm. However if your bluetooth headphones are good at blocking sound, may be a no go...
Good question. I'll keep thinking.
Thanks. I'm gonna check into all those apps tomorrow.

Ok I decided to try out Timley first and I love the way the app is set up. But the alarm only came through the headphones. Is there a setting for that? I didn't see one.

Well that is strange. The only modifications I made to my system image are ad-blocking and xposed. I havent tweaked any audio anything so I should have a stock experience and had the alarm play on both headset and phone speaker.
It is bluetooth right? Not hardwired?

Yes it is Bluetooth. And that's the same mods I've done to mine. Weird.
