LightFlow finally supports the Sony SmartWatch 2 - Sony Smartwatch 2

Hello guys! I'd like to report here that LightFlow finally supports the Sony SmartWatch 2! If you're already using it for handling the leds of your phone, you can also forward the notifications to the watch just selecting a checkbox.
Here's a link to the app: https :// play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow (sorry I don't have enough posts).
It works pretty smoothly, so give it a try!

You can select for each of your application how it notifies you. For example, if you want to handle your Facebook's notifications, you can select the color and frequency of the led, the sound, the vibration, etc., but also you can now send the notification to your watch.
This is pretty neat, because a lot of events can be handled by that app: you could for example send a notification to your watch when your phone is fully charged, and so on.
Here's a screenshot for Facebook: http://i.imgur.com/rfvupl9.png .

Wow, that does sound neat. I think my ROM has a way to program different light colors but it was never that interesting to me. But it sounds really interesting so I will check it out. One question... are they full notifications (eg the full email)?

How does it send the notification to the Smartwatch? Could you attach a picture showing it please?
Regards.

It must only be in the pay app. The free app doesn't show it. I wouldn't buy this without a chance to test it out.

I love when an app I bought and used to use adds functionality that compels me to re-install :victory:

I have paid LightFlow and I can't get it to work with sending notifications to SW2
Could anyone help me?
Edit: Had to re-install app

I started using Lightflow again after getting my SmartWatch - it seems to support all notifications, and extended Gmail notifications as well (which is great).
Is there a way of specifying notifications to be sent to the watch only when the screen is off?

@andrewpmoore - just wondering if you'd be able to provide LightFlow with detailed notifications from Gmail - with other apps that push notifications to the SmartWatch like Watchify, it's possible to push the contents of whole email on the smartwatch. Can Lightflow be set up to do this?

Yes it should be possible, I use it myself. If you enable "Gmail, all notifications" then it should pick the email text up. The label specific notifications don't (as the information isn't available when monitoring that way) so I use label specific notifications for getting different lights but have Gmail all notifications enabled with the led off and the option only set on that to push to the watch.

Thanks heaps for that, will give that a go - also, I've noticed a few 'false' notifications when I open a Messenger window, or sometimes it doesn't pick up multiple messages, is there any reason this happens?
I'm trying to find the 'ultimate' Sony SmartWatch notification app, and at the moment I'm using a combination of Watchify and WatchIt! to do different things.

I dont find this "gmail all notifications" option, i have to choose one label always. Where is this option showed?

I just got a sony smartwatch 2 and i started playing around with it.
It made me happy to read, that lightflow is able to send notifactions to the smartwatch.
Unfortuneatly I can't get it to work.
I checked the Setting "send to sony smart devices" but no notification is showing up on my smartwatch 2. I've already re-installed Lightflow, but nothing changed.
Can somebody help me ?

Hello, I have a question because I'm a bit confused. Does LightFlow support notification clearing from the Sony SW2 to the phone?
I mean, when I get a notification in Lightflow on SW2, if I read it on SW2, is it automatically cleared on the phone as well?
The app description does not tell this, and I could not find any relevant information.
I even contacted the developers of Lightflow but their response did not really made thing more clear:
Hi
With the pebble watches it doesn't clear them but on the sony watch it should. I've got an original SW1 for development and got the two way communication working between notifications.
Cheers
Andrew

Hello, I've been using your Light Flow Lite app on my Nexus 5 and I love it. But I also have a Sony SW2 smartwatch and I saw that the full app supports sending notification to the SW2. Unfortunately from the reviews of the app I understand that the app does not sync the read status of the notification on the smartwatch to the phone. More simply, when I read the notification on the smartwatch I want the notification to be automatically cleared on the phone, otherwise you would need to clear each notification two times. Is this possible from a technical point of view? Is it a planned feature? Because it's the only thing keeping me from buying your full app. Thank you. All the best.

Notifications

Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

For facebook open the app press menu then settings. You can choose a sound in here.
I think sms and email has to be the same. Someone prove me wrong please.

MissedIt (at least in the latest version 1.4.0) works with all email clients which support notification, e.g K9.
Every app that uses notifications can be displayed (now).

I use the widget "SMS Unread Count", the thing for calls, mails and sms. works perfectly, but also miss the notification for gtalk...
when dragging the widget to homescreen, you'll have the possibility to change the icon, to give them a title... decide which "notification" size to choose–there are two options, small and large. zero's could also be displayed by choice.
a app called "missed it!" is what you looking for

Not that it only kills your battery but it severely speeds up the degradation on the screen even if its just black. A lit screen will degrade faster than a totally off screen.
Thanks brendo.
I assume this could be done for Facebook and Twitter???
yeah, anything with a notification (a number that dispays on the icon). ive seen it done with facebook, wish i could do it with ebay

Notifications?

I just switched to the one x from iphone 4, but the notification system seems to be a lot worse, there isn't even a notifications setting in settings and I'm not getting notified of draw something moves?
is there a fix to that?
You should have seen the old ios notification lol. I am sure there is a way to fix drawsomething notification. Is it an app problem?
There should be no problems with other stuff such as emails , whatsapp, viber etc which I am using.
Btw, coming from ios, you will have much to learn and you will like android. Unless you just want a dumbed down fuss free experience. Hehe

DrawSomething currently has no notifications. However there is a big update planned soon which will include notifications. See here http://phandroid.com/2012/03/25/draw-something-soon-to-receive-a-substantial-update/
I really do like android, this is just one little drawback
facebook and skype don't seem to have notifications either, i'd expect there to be a menu in settings just like iOS where you can customize which apps you want to have notifications or not?

Notification settings are usually contained within the app itself, rather than a global setting. Skype and Facebook have settings for Notifications.
As above, each individual app has notification settings within the settings of the app.

As others have said each individual app tends to have notification settings that you set up personally. There are some global notifications for email, SMS, missed calls that will flash the LED light located under "Display & gestures > Notification flash".
I'm also having problems with Facebook for Android and FB Messenger. I have notifications enabled and set up correctly, yet I'm not receiving anything for them. Also, Draw Something now has the ability for Android notifications, but each time I try to enable it, I get told they're not supported by my phone.

Calendar Notification settings?

Hey guys I'm on Jellybean and this being my first smartphone, I'm not sure how to go about this. I have seen people with iPhone get notifications (popups) when they have an upcoming event.
Is there a way to do that with the galaxy nexus?
I dont want a changing color LED or a ringtone, just a popup on screen near the time of the event. If not a pop-up, just something at the notification bar. Thanks
When creating / editing event, scroll towards bottom and you have option to set a reminder and timescale for the reminder(s). Can have notifications on phone and/or an email reminder

Notifications/reminders as in "Pick up milk and eggs" or "call xyz at 7pm"? Grab a tasking app like Astrid (it's free from the play store) and it will do exactly that (and much more if you want it to)

You can set reminders in the form of an alarm from Google now.
For example: if you say "remind me to pick up dinner at 5pm" it will set an alarm with the tag "pick up dinner" for 5pm
calendar snooze is an excellent must have addition to the stock calendar. Its excellent.

No Notications on Android 10 (Q) mirrored to the Smartwatch

Hi everybody,
updated my P3XL to 10 (rooted with Magisk prepatched bl).
On Pie all my Notifications were displayed on my Watch but on 10 only some are shown.
Smartwatches for testing: Samsung Gear S3 and Garmin Fenix 6
Access to notifcations is allowed for the helper apps...
Apps that don't show up on the Watch:
Telegram, Threema, AquaMail
Notifcations sent by SMS or Pushbullet work...
Can anybody confirm this behaviour?
help is highly appreciated...

If they are "silent notifications" they will not show on watch.
Make sure those aren't silent notifications.
Thanks for your help.
Notifications were not set to silent...
Solved it with a factory reset and reinstall of the companion app. I hope this error will no more occur...
