hourly alarm notification app or something?

Ok I like to do mini excercises every hour on the hour when I'm awake or at work getting into shape and staying there. my question is, is there an app for an hourly alarm?
I don't really want to set 16 alarms in the alarm menu. I'm just curious if there is some kind of beast out there and what it would be called..

You could use Tasker to run between 09:00-20:00 with an hourly repeat, outputing an MP3 and a visual prompt.
It can be tricky to get started, but once learnt is really useful.
Not in the market yet, and in beta but it's not bad.

Why not use the calendar to schedule it every hour and add a notification to the entry??

tried the calender it didn't work I'm using the other method suggested and it works like a charm. thanks all.

RWatch M26 and iOS 8

Hi guys,
I had a look for such a discussion but did not find sucha thread. I have the Chinese Rwatch M26 smart watch and iPhone 5 with iOS 8. Is it possible somehow to connect it to my device and get the push notifications on screen for messages, Facebook, email, etc. It works with Android phone, tested, but is there a way to do this with an iOS device? Currently I can only dial, take calls and that's it basically.
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies!

Do you have any idea? I found some apps which say they send all the notifications to a bluetooth device but do not seem to work.

Heard it is possible to get m26 to work with ios. I believe you need to jailbreak then go to Cydia. There you will find app to push notifications. Forgot name of app

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
Yes, I found BTNotificationEnabler on Cydia, but it does not seem to work with iOS 8. The menus are different and the Bluetooth options do not appear anywhere... Ano other options for an app which does this?
Best,
Rangel

Connect iPhone and RWatch M26
Hi, you need to install SmartBluePlus from the App Store and connect your phone with that app.
When you connect, it asks you to pair. When this succeeds you will get notifications you also get on you iPhone's lock screen. Good luck

I need help!! I bought a M26 Rwatch... When I plug it in to charge it keeps saying "charging error" and won't charge anymore.. Does anyone have any ideas??

application does not work on ios 8.0.2

Hi I've downloaded the Smartblue and Smart blue plus from the App Store and neither identifies my watch. Any suggested apps that will actually connect. I can make and receive calls but that's it. I even downloaded the btnotifier and nothing worked.
Thanking you for your suggestions/ help in advance.

[Q] How to not receive calls on my smartwatch R5 ?

Hi all!
Does anyone know how to not receive calls on my smartwatch?
I know its strange but I prefer use my phone to talk.
I only want to receive notifications and SMS (all normal function except communication).
I know how to transfer on the phone during a call on smartphone's screen, but I want this to be automatic.
If I unselect "call control" and "media control" in the phone's Bluetooth settings, I loose the Bluetooth connection.
Also, I want don't use "media", because I use Waze and I need the sound on the phone otherwise the sound goes on the watch.
thank you

works the same as on the u8 and all the other clones
you MUST have either media or phone audio enable, otherwise no connection, no notifications
they would need to fix this in the firmware, if that is possible at all...

Could you please elaborate the solution. I'm facing the same issue...its very awkward to talk on the smartwatch, especially if there are people around you.

Download and install: Tasker app. Differents way to get it.
I don't undertstand why, but I can continue to use it after 7 trial day...
And you need to program it. It's not so easy. You have to search and to pratice in this app in order to understand.
Find in attachement, some screenshot of my tasker.
Only the 3 first profiles are need to stop bluetooth during call.
In resume, when tasker see a call, you stop BT and you set a variable to memo BT watch was ON.
If no call and memo BT watch is ON, active BT.
Sorry for my english.

Smartwatch A9 (iWatch clone) .. what about it ?

Hi, I'm looking for a cheap smart watch and i have found this one. There's not much info about it on Google..
"Smart Watch A9"
Someone can give me a opinion ? Thanks.
Sorry, XDA dont allow me to post links , there's some info about it ... aliexpress . com / store/product/Heart-Rate-Monitoring-A9-Wrist-Wearable-Digital-Bluetooth-Smart-Watch-Devices-for-Samsung-LG-Android-Phone/1085663_32383810547.html?storeId=1085663

Bump. Anyone ?

I just received my A9 yesterday, and it is a pretty good product. All notifications work well with my Note 4. Callers can hear me loud and clear when in phone mode. The 240x240 screen resolution, although not 320x320 or higher like name brand models, is better than I expected. The UI is user friendly and easy to navigate. The heart rate moniter works, but I have not compared it to traditional heart rate devices/instruments, so I can't speak on the accuracy. The "lost device" feature works as well. Since I find myself walking away from my phone a lot when I'm home, I usually disable that feature because notification on the watch becomes quite annoying. I purchased mine from a popular Chinese distributor for $56 with free shipping. It took 3 weeks to arrive, but it was worth the price and the wait. Overall, it's a good buy. Anyone not sure about buying the A9, I say go for it.

It is a good smartwatch, enough some updating. how you can update the firmware?

I am having trouble with syncing messages and notifications. I can make phone calls and sync call logs but I can't find a way for it to work all the features with my S5. Any help would be great

My A9
Hi Guys,
Received my A9 today. Bought it as it was only 65 Euro and because I was curious as what it would be like as a 'clone'. Initially I was impressed by the looks, feel and the way it operated. This initial positove feeling was quickly followed by disappointment as the Mediatek Smartwatch app won;t connect with the watch. I'm using a Note 4 and although there is a Bluetooth connection the app which is crucial for many features and functions says 'connecting' but nothing happens. I see others here have had or are having the same issues. Any recommendations to get this sorted are welcome.
Ps. I made sure that my settings in Accessibility are correct and that I have the latest version of the App etc.
Many thanks,
Sly.

Have you paired it initially in the android settings menu under the bluetooth tab? That has to be done first. Or mediatek smartdevice wont find it.

Hi I paired the watch with my phone through the BLuetooth pairing procedure on the phone as I would with any Bluetooth device. The Mediatek App simply stays in the 'connecting' mode.
When i check my Bluetooth settings is shows that the phone is connected to the watch for 'Call audio' 'Media Audio' profiles and Allow access to 'Contact and Phone log'.
I get calls coming through on the watch and that side is all working alright.
I'd still very much like to have the messages showing up on the watch...

I think it is a good watch, but the watch faces are ugly as hell.
Can't we develop better watchfaces for this watch? Or just edit the existing ones?

I received a reply from the supplier which contained a QR code. I downloaded the APK App and thought I was on a 'winner' but after installing the App I discovered it was all in Chinese
They are now going to send me a link to the English version of the App which seems to look completely different to the Mediatek Smartdevice App that is supposed to be working with the watch...

Do you have the qr code? And can you add the English version here?

Hi, not yet, the QR I have is for the Chinese App I hope to have the English version tomorrow morning and I will share it no problem.

I really want more watch faces. Does anybody have an idea, how to do it?

I think the OUKITEL A28 or i95 is great too,and with a lower price from tinydeal.

All working
I've installed the 'Fundo Wear' App and it communicates with the A9, SMS messages are coming through, calls can be made and you can add some more Apps like Google Weather. It's basic but for the money I'm satisfied with what it does.
The App wants you to register with a website for your health tracking details but although I did I cannot login with the App as it keeps telling me my password is incorrect...and it isn't

I think you need to activate your account with the incoming email from Fundo. I did but I can not connect my watch with this fundo app. It doesn't see my watch. But mediatek does.
I am using iphone 6 plus by the way

I've completed the registration and that is now also working. I did notice that every time the watch disconnects from the phone because it's out of range it is a balls to get it to connect again...

So after a few hours with an App that seems to be working with the A9 I can come to the conclusion that it doesn't really. When connected it's OK. It does some nice things but unfortunately the connections is dropped on a regular basis and every time the connection is lost it's a total nightmare to get the App to talk to the watch again.
I simply couldn't rate this as a finished product or something that should be sold as such unless there is another App out there that actually works with the device.
On its own it's a decent watch but that really isn't really very 'smart'.
I'll keep messing around with it and try different Apps and will report back here if anything changes...

Techmade Smartwatch
I've said goodbye to the Fundo Wear App as it was a nightmare trying to connect the phone and watch every time the connection was lost. I've now installed the Techmade Smartwatch App which seems to connect immediately and offer similar functionality. The App is in Italian but its simple enough to get round this

Hello everyone.
I own the A9 watch too and I believe its a great build smartwatch.
But, I really want to know if there is a way to update the firmware and how can we change these ugly faces, the watch styles, maybe to rearrange the icons?
Is it possible? How can we "explore" inside the watch?
Thanks in advance

Apps are un-muting themselves automatically

Hi there,
I'm using LG W100 for about two weeks. Generally Android Wear is preety good however there's a little anoying bug. I can't really tell if that's actually a bug or it has been made that way on purpose but it's pissing me off. If I add any app to mute list notifications from the app don't show up on the watch. Good - but whenever I open such app on the watch manually it instantly disappears from muted list. If someone made it on purpose then I believe that he wanted to make easier for dummies to un-mute app if they muted them accidently, but this is ridicoulus. Why? Only because once a week I'd like to manually open Weather app on watch to check forecast doesn't mean I want to be spamed with weather notifications every god damn 15 minutes afer doing that. Then when new notifications comes I have to mute it again and the game starts all over after I open weather AGAIN on watch. Weather is just an example of course, it happens with all wear apps.
Can someone please tell me if it's a bug or on purpose and how can I change that stupid behavior?

When you refer to mute, I am assuming you are doing that on the watch.If so, I believe this is the intended behavior and cannot be changed.
That said, have you tried blocking the notifications from the Wear app on the phone?

I don't know if it was working this way by design or what but after upgrading watch to 6.0 problem dissapeared. Apps are NOT un-muting themselves when opened on watch.
