Have you tried... pressing clock in apps? It has alarm, world clock, stopwatch, and timer.

S-calendar and Google calendar

I am using both S-calendar and Google calendar: i like the homescreen widget for S-Calendar but I prefer using the Google Calendar app for managing appointments.
Considering that I do not want two notifications, I set notifications only in S-calendar with vibration and turned them off in Google calendar.
Problem is that every time i reboot the tablet, it resets the settings of both calendar apps: it removes vibration in S-calendar and enables notification in Google calendar.
Anyone else?

anyone?

Why you reboot your note?
Mine never rebooted.

Yea I had the same exact issue with mine. I realized that the 2 notifications in both apps are tied together. Meaning if you change one, it'll reset the other on reboot.
I wanted the notifications from S-cal and the googlecalendar app for management as well. I ended up disabling the S-Cal app entirely in the app management settings menu and instead using the google-cal app for everything. I dont think there is a way to separate the 2 apps.
If you find a way I'd like to know as well. Sorry I cant be more helpful.

This won't work on ICS builds, but if you have upgraded to JB 4.1 then in Settings - > Application Manager you can disable notifications on a per app basis.

yes this I know, my question was more: why upon restart the notification settings of both google and s calendar are set back to original values?

That I'm not sure. It shouldn't be resetting the setting on a reboot.

Why does my phone randomly vibrate?

My phone randomly vibrates without any notifications or apps running. It only happens when the screen is off. and yes I know about the feature which vibrate if you have a notification once you touch the phone.

Where do you enable that feature?

I was gonna post a thread about this issue earlier today lol. Mine vibrates when ever I touch it. If it sits on the dresser or in my pocket for a bit and I go to grasp it, it will vibrate. I don't touch any buttons yet and it vibrates. I'm wondering if it's the smart stay feature using the camera to see movement.

It's hatching.
SGH-I717/SM-N900V/XDA Premium

Mine randomly vibrates when I enable USB3 mode to move large files. It vibrates for a second at the start of the transfer and a few times (when different files are moving).

I know there is a feature when u pick up your phone, and there is some kind of notification waiting for you, the phone will vibrate. This is a feature that is built in to TouchWiz. There should be a setting to turn it off, but cant remember right now off the top of my head.

Thank you!!!!!!! This was driving me insaine since I reset my phone last week!

Use task manager
Press menu, go to task manager, RAM, clear memory.
That worked for me. It closes 9 programs.
:laugh:

Hey All,
All you have to do is ....
Go to TASK MANAGER app,
Go to the Downloaded tab from Task Manager
UNinstall Playstore.
That's all!

Vibrating due to Account Sync (Loop?)
For anyone still wondering:
It is because the phone is syncing up for some reason it doesn't stop syncing (Looping?)...
Best way around it:
Settings->Accounts and sync->Background Data/Auto Sync Turn Those off!
After a restart it should stop vibrating and get quite alot faster.
Sidenote:
Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300) is the phone i that had the issues and got fixed this way.

just DELETE/UNINSTALL GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES "update"
-Pydro

FINAL SOLUTION!!!!
Please ignore all of the comments above and below, except for what MYFRED and mr08022001 Pydro said. That is the solution. Simply uninstall or delete Google Play Services, and do not reinstall ever again. This is what was causing the constant vibrating on the phone. Plus it also rendered useless the Play Store app, so no applications could be installed or updated. I thought I had lost my phone due to the constant vibrating. But MYFRED helped me save it. Thanks mate, you are a genius. Alfred

Replacement for Smart actions

I've gotten quite accustomed to the Motorola smart actions app. Unfortunately it's not compatible with the new CM11 rom I loaded this week.
What is a suitable replacement?
This is what I want to capture (as an example): silent when plugged in, at night, except for VIP callers.

Tasker. It's a pay app. But it is so much more robust than smart actions. I still use stock and disable smart actions in preference of Tasker.

"Setting profiles" app works well also.

Llama is a good option

Thanks. I've been thinking about Tasker for a while. It just didn't occur to me it could be used for something this basic as well. So I jumped and got it. Now I have to just get to terms that the next 2 weeks of my life will be consumed with writing and trying recipes

I would also sugest Llama. Not the most user-friendly, but it gets the job done.

Yup, Lama is very good. I started using it instead of SmartActions.

Do you know a simple way in lama to put the phone in silent mode during meeting and come back to the previous seetings after the meeting has ended? I messed around with variables, since it seemed to me I need to set both "start meeting" and "end meeting" events and check what profile was set previously through a variable, but maybe I am overcomplicating things? Smartactions did this much easier...

Is the meeting in your calendar, if so use calendar as a trigger condition for a profile to silence/vibrate. For meetings I usually manually set vibrate mode using the lock screen slider because I don't silent for every meeting.

right, I am more concerned with switching back to the original mode/profile before the meeting started, after the meeting has ended.. I have various profiles, e.g home, office, car, meeting, outside, etc.. I was looking for a way to switch phone silent during meeting on calendar and then revert to what it was prior to the meeting.

I don't use the calendar trigger, but I think you'll need the pair of events.
Assuming you're on work profile before the meeting, trigger a silent profile with the enter event for your meeting, then trigger your work profile with an exit event.
I stopped using SmartActions when I discovered that Llama seemed to handle cellular towers better on this phone.

Automateit is like a beefed up version of SA...not quite as much as taker but it's more user friendly.

[Q] App to disable specific apps at night

Just got my new note4 after playing with the iP6, as I do like using multiple devices to have good knowledge on most devices, but here is one issue I ran into. I have the dunkin donuts app installed (easier than carrying a card) and it works great. 3 nights ago a txt from the app came in at 3:35am with a good sale (something I didn't need to wake up to). 2 nights later at 1am another one.
So, I don't want to silence ALL notifications as I have SMS alerts from my datacenter, etc. so I am looking to see is there an app that will silence some apps or services, or specific things based on time/day?
Thanks

I would disable notifications from specific apps permentanrly. You can do that from application manager. You can also configure blocking mode to allow certain numbers (not sure about sms).

[SOLVED]
I saw that while looking around but it's show notifications, and I didn't realize the show really meant don't notify vs show.
Thanks for the quick and simple fix.

Give Tasker a shot. It might look a bit complicated in the beginning but there are a lot of threads and wiki pages which will help you get going.
