I just switched over to the new CM7 yesterday and am quite happy with it thus far, except for one thing. I really loved being able to set the alarm clock app by spinning the wheel to the correct number on the original ROM. I'm guessing this was part of the Sense UI setup. Is there any alarm clock app that has something similar? I've downloaded a couple and though obviously the widgets and UI differ, they've all had the same boring + - to change the times. Thanks in advance
yeah, the spinning is part of the sense ui. but now that you bring it up, one thing i miss is being able to use music to wake up to, instead of 'beep beep beep'. i don't want to have to download another alarm to have that :-(
If you use Handcent SMS You can set Music to the Alarm. It allows you to set music to just about all your ringtone & Notifications.
I know it's not ideal to download another alarm app, but there are two small ones in the market (I'm talking kilobytes) that are awesome. "Good Morning" can wake to music with text-to-speech telling you the time, weather, news, etc. AppAlarm can wake you to Pandora or any number of other apps as well. Both work amazingly.
Hey everyone,
Just getting my note 10.1 setup and so far im loving it. Its my first tablet and the fact it has a stylus finally made having a tablet more practical for me. One thing I am not a fan of is that when I have the sound turned down to the lowest setting it is too loud. Is there any built in eq that I can use to scale the sound?
So far im using a downloaded app "Music Volume EQ" which is working but needs to be running and then it takes up space in my notifications bar which I really dont like.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know about this specific app, but most apps do have an option to disable notification entries in settings. I was fed up with the Skype app persistently displaying my online status in the notification tray until I noticed an option to disable it in the app's preferences.
'might wanna try looking for it there.
Ok. I've had my watch since release and like it for the most part.
But who in the hell at Google decided, you can have notifications, but not use the time. Or use the watch to tell time, by turning notifications off (basically making wearing it pointless.)
Why doesn't Google allow notifications to pop up when received, but then you can Swipe them down to hide them (like in muted mode).
There are some notifications I want to keep, but then your freaking watch is useless to tell time with. (unless you turn off all future notifications)
I was really thinking about buying a moto 360 when it was released too. But knowing now my only 2 options are to turn off the smart part of the watch. Or not be able to tell time after 3pm. Makes it pointless.
You could use a digital watch?

I'm pretty sure that you can do this as soon as the watch api is released. Right now there simply is no way to do this.

Which kind of defeats the purpose of having a watch you can customize.
I'm sure the people buying a moto 360 will be thrilled to learn they bought an analog style watch to only be able to show digital time on it.

I hope your correct and Google didn't give LG or Samsung the api yet either since default faces are the same. I wouldn't be as concerned if it was only user made faces that couldn't hide it.

Why not just set it so notifications are hidden in dimmed mode? So when you glance at the watch you can see the entire watch face. If you need to see the previous notifications, just activate the display and swipe up.
My notifications on my LG G are semi-transparent so I can see a full-screen analog watch-face even in non-dimmed mode. Although I always use a digital watchface which shows in top left corner, for quicker glancing... Is this problem specific to Samsung or is there something I'm missing?

On Gear Live the notifications are NOT semi-transparent, so this may actually be a samsung specific problem... Hopefully an update can "fix" this.

That's still a work around over what should be a setting. Just think it would be common sense to Swipe down to hide notifications on active screen until you Swipe up to see them.

I'm using a g watch. And maybe mine is flaky. But I can not see though the notifications on active screen. . I can use a digital clock and get around it. Just like analog a lot better.
Is there an app similar to "notification center" on pebble, where I can force the watch to vibrate when I get a notification from certain applications?
For some reason I just can't get certain apps to vibrate (and I just see the notification, which is no good because I just miss it).
I don't know if those apps are poorly written or set wrong or what.
Other apps vibrate - so it's not a general problem. I shouldn't have to be screwing around with so many settings like this.
I'm fairly happy with my Moto 360, but missing important notifications is a dealbreaker, and I might be forced to go back to my Pebble.
Anyone know of an app that can do this? I don't mind paying for one.

Found one that worked: Augmented SmartWatch Pro.
It seems that wechat doesn't send a "vibrate notification" so it breaks android wear.
Instead it just does a normal app vibration.
Augmented works similar to "Pebble notifier" where it sends a vibrate notification to Android wear.
After I upgraded from an original Galaxy Gear to a LG G Watch R, I can say that some things on the Gear were just much easier. The biggest thing I miss is the simple ability to snooze a calendar notification. Chatting online with Google, there is just no way to do it. This was easy on the gear, just slide the slider. With Wear, I need to pull my phone out. Kind of defeats the purpose.
