Huawei and other Chinese manufactures have a lot of preinstalled apps and system features. One of them is power management. This will kill any suspicious background process and so you will not be able to communicate with the watch.
Solution:
This app is developed by me on a huawei just for this purpose - use brutal mode

Seem nice But can you provide the actionable notification like we have in Wear system ?
Ex : Calendar (Calengoo) have snooze option (Snz 5, Snz 10, Snz 30......) and we have not this option on all notification system for the SW2. Aquamail Extension offer the "Mark as read", it is nice but just for this app.

Sorry I dont understand the question. Are you refering to options on the notification? Every notification you read on the smartwatch has 2 options. One is to dismiss the notification from the device and smartwatch(delete basically), and one is to open it like you would have clicked it. For example your can open a Messenger notification and when you unlock the phone the app si already present on the screen, ready to type.
Also "mark as read" is present on the app and can be used for multiple smartwatch notifications.

If you link your app on XDA, you should provide a free version for XDA users.

Ex from Calengoo : Notification options are :
- Dismiss
- Open in phone
- Snooze 5min
- Snooze 10 min
- Snooze 15 min
(all snooze that you set in Calengoo app)
On Wear or on "pebble notification Center" I have all this option. On SW2 I have only the basic notification :
- Dismiss
- Open in phone.
For Aquamail for exemple, on standard app notification for SW2 I have also standard notification
- Dismiss
- Open in phone
but not a "mark as read"
so we can dismiss the Aquamail phone notification but the mail is not marked "as read" in mail app.
We can also set to have "archive" in mail notification option. We have all this option in Wear but not in all SW2 notification app

Installed and tested your app. It do not works, when read or dismiss notification from the SW2 with your app, the Android phone notification are not dismissed et stay on phone status bar. So app do not do the job and can not be used for notification system on SW2
Echofon Pro, Stopwatch&Timer+ -> dismiss from watch and even with "Erase" on watch -> notification stay on phone.
Maybe you can correct before I leave a review on PlayStore ?

Hello,
Sure we can talk on skype and see whats going on there. First I would recommend to enable brutal mode from the settings window.
Also, there is a option that will NOT allow notifications if the screen is turned on.
There are some apps on the notification screen that don't have any action assigned to it.
But to dismiss everything should work.
Please provide more info about the android system version and the device you are using
PM with your skype and I'll add you
Thanks

Sony xperia Z5 compact android 5.1.1
allow notification with screen off
brutal mode on.
but nothing to do with dismiss android notification
All smartwatch can erase notification from phone status bar, otherwise no need smartwatch
Just try timer app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.stopwatch
start a timer, you have notification et dismiss from SW2, notification still present on phone.
Try other notification app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.shuisky.notify do the same and notification dismissed also from phone, it is like this app must works

What you are asking cannot be developed so easy.
I tested the stop watch app and the notification that its using is custom. So the notification system for the smartwatch will work for all standard notifications from the device. It cannot guaranty that every app can be supported.
But I'll give it a try. Basically you want the dismiss option from the phone notification to be accessible from the watch. I'll do a update in a few days

Yes simply dismiss phone notification when erase/dismiss from the SW2.
SW2 system have serious issue with notification maybe to old ? other watch : Wear, pebble, Samsung Gear...can dismiss phone notification in same time dismiss watch notification.

Got my SW2 since three months and it has some flaws with my P8.
The SW2 app sometimes does not launch despite the fact I protected it from the RAM optimiser, some apps won't launch and/or install, notifications sometimes won't sync (Probably because of Informer...), watch won't connect to phone until I reset it sometimes...
That's quite sad because it's an amazing watch. Because of that I might get the Huawei Watch in a near future.

If you're looking for a good weather app, 'Weather Timeline' in the Play Store has pretty awesome AW support. It uses Forecast.io to give you current conditions plus conditions for the next hour. A second card for a semi-hourly forecast. A third card for a 4 day forecast. And even a refresh button on your watch.
I like Vibration Notifier on the market. It lets you set a vibration alert to repeatedly go off at a given interval for notifications until you clear them. It also lets you set the length of the vibration pulse. Great for the weak notification vibration on most of the wear watches.
Hi,
I have just added a "make notifications vibration stronger" feature in last SWApp Launcher Wear version:

Weather in Android 6.0 lockscreen

Hi! I just got my new LG G4 a few days ago, and I would like to know if there is an easy way to get weather information (preferably via widget) in the lockscreen of Android 6.0. My phone is not rooted, and at this moment I do not intend to do so, either.
I know this can be achieved with alternative lock screens, but as far as I know, those lock screens do not allow me to use the camera in a safe session while the phone remains locked, and this feature is a must for me. So, if anyone knows of a replacement lockscreen that allows this, then please let me know.
Thanks!
No one knows?
Well, you can always use Google now to find that info. Just say "Ok google, what's the weather like today?" (need to have google now installed and voice trigger activated)
The LG G4's lock screen itself has the animations of weather when there is high intensity of rain, fog or storm out there. That's really an awesome feature.
If you still want to see exact numbers on your lock screen, you can get any app that puts the info on your notification bar. Naturally, the notification appears on lock screen on g4 so from there you can get it....
Hope it helps

Thanks a lot! I can't get the weather animation on the lock screen. Does it only appear with a particular lock method (swipe, PIN, etc.)? Or with a particular swipe effect?
As for an app that puts the info on the notification bar, wouldn't that make the notification light blink constantly? Also, wouldn't that prevent the phone from sleeping and thus consume much more battery?

Hey,
So many questions at once! Will answer one by one
You will get the weather animation when the weather is intense, like its raining out there or fog is there. Not for the general temperatures, but for the unusual ones.
The option can be enabled in Settings > Lock Screen > Weather Animations.
For the App that puts info on notification Bar, you have the option to disable notification light for a particular app. You can disable the notification light for the weather app, however some would prefer that light keep blinking 24x7
No, notifications do not prevent phone from sleeping. Understand it this way: when you get messages on any app, say whatsapp or facebook messenger, you get notifications. But does that prevent phone from sleeping or consumes extra battery? no. Similarly, this app will just be getting hourly updates from server just like you getting messages on whatsapp. So Standby mode won't be affected.

I do not have that setting I have not done much to the phone since I got it. I updated it to 6.0, and I am using Lightning Launcher instead of the LG one. Could any of those things prevent me from seeing that option in settings?

Ok, I understand. Though, I see that my lockscreen has space for 2 notifications at a time, so I guess that if I receive an sms and I have a calendar event, the weather notification will be hidden, right? Oh, well, at least it is better than not having the notification at all.

Well Mate, I completely understand your situation.
Unfortunately, unlocking G4 isn't possible and at MM, rooting is not possible too (as of now).
Else I am sure custom roms can provide you all that you want with minimal effort.

And yes, you need to use LG launcher along with weather app from LG.
Anyways, LG launcher is quite stable and once you customize it with your preferences, its actually better than any other launcher out there. It allows you to switch off screen on double tap, the folders are quite good and customization, you can uninstall apps directly from drawer...in short its a good launcher.
I myself preferred Google now launcher earlier before having G4 but G4's launcher is really good.
I have an old app called Weatherbug Elite. It has the option of keeping live weather info in the notification bar. With it turned on the temperature is always displayed and when you slide open the notification bar there is a panel of weather info. This same panel shows on the lock screen via notifications. It does not keep the phone awake or blink the light. If there are several notifications it compresses on the lock screen them and you can expand them with a slide.
This app is no longer available, I got it as a free app of the day from Amazon a long time ago. There must be other apps that do the same thing though.

Always on display Note 7

Hi,
For those who are already lucky to own this phone. Can you tell me something about the features of the always on display.
1. Are third party notifications (esp. Whatsapp) supported
2. Is it possible after tapping on the notification to get a preview
3. Is it possible to dismiss a notification and/or to go directly to the app of the notification
Cheers

I haven't checked for Whatsapp specifically, but the always-on display shows me notifications from Pushbullet, Nine (exchange email), DS Cloud and others. I guess it works with any app.
Taping the notifications does nothing - or i missed something in the settings.
Double-tapping them opens the corresponding app (at the appropriate place; example, the email that triggered the notification) (but first of course you have to unlock the phone if you have a secure lockscreen set).

Okay it looks that Samsung has listened to the request for S7 user. Nice to hear that 3rd party apps are now displayed.
That I dont get a preview of the message and can't mark it as unread is little bit dissapointing. It looks that I still have to use a 3rd party app for notifications. It looks that nothing beats Moto Display so far
I believe th e always on display stays th ere for up to an hour after you right a note. You can choose different themes.

In your phone, go in settings and click on power option, in that select background app management and disable the app for which you want to receive notifications for.
Else go to notification center in settings and check whether you have blocked the app from receiving any notifications from that particular app..

How to change default app for Alarm clock

Hi there
I'm using "Timely" for setting up alarm rather then the default "Clock" app.
Now the thing is that alarms set via Timely do not show the alarm notification in the top left corner on the Notifications bar.
Note : All notifications are turned on.
Only alarm set via default clock app shows up on top left.
Also I tried to set Timely as default app but the option that says "Set as default" is greyed out and hence can't be used.
Would highly appreciate your help and thank you for your time.
Regards
Both of those things are working as designed. The system alarm notification is only generated by the system alarm app. Timely is responsible for it's own notifications. The Set As Default menu item is designed to show any intents the app is set to handle by default, and allow you to clear them, not to set the app as default for an intent. If you aren't pleased with the notifications Timely creates, you should address that to their support.

Noted, with thanks.
In this case Timely does not show any notification at all after the alarm is created, will contact it's developer.

It looks like Timely has some serious problems with recent versions of Android. Look at the reviews. You might look for an alternative. I use Alarmy. It works, although the notifications aren't reliable. At least the alarms are very reliable.

Yes, received an automated response from developer saying they are too busy due to apps popularity and can't respond.

Have you allowed the desired app notification access? If it isn't allowed to add icons to the notification bar then it won't even if the developer of the app tries to fix it...
These are the new security settings for Android which seem to get tighter with every new iteration...
Sorry if I don't seem to be making much sense, only had a few hours sleep in the last few days...

Yes Notifications were on. I switched to Samsung default clock. Guess the less apps the better.
And thank you for your feedback.
As far as this can help, I recently switched to an android 11 device (also rooted) and am experiencing the same trouble: on my previous phone (sony xperia XZP, android 9) my favourite app AlarmDroid took hold of everything doing the following:
starting automatically
showing the clock icon on the upper bar
correctly playing its alarms
NOT showing in the app in the running apps list
Now, on android 11 happens this:
app does not start automatically
clock icon is shown only if app is running
app correctly plays alarm only if manually started
app shows in running app list: if you close it there it will STOP working and you have to restart it manually
COnsidering that AlarmDroid is quite stable/seasoned code, it looks like woes are due to android 11, which, also, does not show an option to change the default alarm app.
Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks
