Hello, I'm the developer for the NowNotifier application and decided that the comments in the Samsung store is a bad place for me to keep track of feedback, so decided to start this thread.

[YOUTUBE]4NOjvJzu-Sw[/YOUTUBE]

Feedback is always welcomed.

Johann

Todo:

* Fix for reading messages.

* Option to hide app after action DONE

* No notifications on sleep mode

* Exit to home / watch screen

Hi,

Nice to see you here. Hopefully we will see a new release with enhancement and bug fixes soon :)
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Thanks, had to freeze development while the app was being judged and had to take care of other projects. Right now my priority is to fix the message display, do you have anything to report that needs to be fixed?

[Samsung Gear 2] lordmorphous:
This may be some sort of error on my part, so please bear with me. My only complaint is when using your app the Now Notifier screen seems to stick around. I do have my watch set to wake up to last screen used as that is the only way the Endomondo app is useful when running. Is there a way to turn this off.
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
If you have autohide on, and don't touch the notification, it should hide automatically. If you touch it, you should swipe up to down past the green screen to dismiss the application.
[Samsung Gear 2] lordmorphous:
Got it...thanks. Would it be possible in a future update to allow for the autohide timeout to be changed by the user to something shorter?

Edit: Just received an email through Nine (me email app on my phone). I got the notification through NN, replied to it with NN and the NN screen stayed on the screen until I made it go away. This is what I meant earlier. Is this something that's limited by the APIs, or is it something that can be configured to go away on its own?
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
What would you consider shorter? If I do it I would prefer to consolidate everything together so more like a selection between none / 5 seconds / 10 seconds / 30 seconds / 1 minute so that way there is no 2 options for the same thing, what you think?
[Samsung Gear 2] lordmorphous:
Is the autohide for the NN screen or the notification itself. If for the notification, the choices of 5/10/20 would probably be ideal, at least to me. If it is for the NN screen, then just a standard 5 seconds would be fine. I wouldn't think you would want it to not show up as all; I mean you want your name out there and all, I get that.

By the way, did you see my edit above?
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
The NowNotifier screen is more for you not to leave by error the app when you don't want it because when you get to it, you are a swipe away from leaving the application.

I think I got it, the auto hide is when you receive a notification. As soon as you touch the application, the autohide stops so you can browse/read your notification. If i understand you well, you want to dismiss the application once you execute an action (like reply) is that correct?
[Samsung Gear 2] lordmorphous:
Correct.
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Well then yeah, that would have to be a new option something like "Hide application after action" and that basically wouldn't have a delay, once you click the button it hides.
[Samsung Gear 2] sauliiin:
Just came here to say thanks to you! Really love your app! Already rated it with 5 stars!

Ir makes our abondened tizen looks better!
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Thanks for the comment! Still learning how to add new stuff, so I always say that this is a work in progress!

This:good:

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

I just thought of another "issue", please don't take this as nit-picking. I really do like your app.

I use the stock sleep app at night. This silences notification and keeps the screen from coming on in the middle of the night. Your app still goes off throughout the night and I never remember to turn off your app until after the first time I'm woken up by the buzzing on my wrist. Is it possible to make your app "respect" the sleep mode?

I am not a developer and only have a very generic understanding of api's and such, so this may not be feasible.
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Did you email me about that before?

Yes I'm looking into it, by default I just post the messages that the phone broadcast, so I need to find out a way for me to know when the phone is in that mode to block the messages. No luck so far, but still looking into it.

I'll update the main post with a wishlist and work through it later.
[Samsung Gear 2] lordmorphous:
No, I never emailed you... But that must mean I'm not the only one who thought of it. Thanks for starting this thread.
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Yeah I got some a question about it some time ago, didn't know about that functionality so I'm looking into it. Yeah between emails and see if comments were updated, I saw a question about the application in this forum, so decided what a better place to keep all the feedback in one place.

Also at this moment I'm doing some live development, testing my encoding PC for other project so feel free to drop and keep the feedback going :good:

[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Here is a quick demo for the hide after action

[YOUTUBE]ycDRTi7RlJM[/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Gear 2] renegade:
Ok I have a list of enhancements I would love to see:

Phone app:

1- When first installed, all applications are enabled (checked) by default, it takes a while to uncheck the applications you don’t want to receive notifications from. Maybe a "check/uncheck all" button.

2- Option to receive notifications on Gear and vibrate while keeping screen off.

3- Option to not show notifications on Gear when phone is used “i.e. screen on and unlocked”.

4- Option to dismiss notification on Gear when it is dismissed from phone, and vise-versa.

5- Option for to exclude notifications from “ignored phrases”.

6- Option for “Night/Do not disturb” times.

7- Provide option for different vibration “duration” for each app

Gear app:

1- Theming option (dark background & light background)

2- “Text size option”.

3- You should queue all the notifications received.

4- Swipe right/left for next/previous notification. Swipe down to dismiss. And tap for notification text/details. Swipe up for (suggestions?)

5- After dismissing the last notification, app should go back immediately (1 sec delay?) to watchface.

And most important of all,

stability, stability and stability

. The problem I have seen with all the notification apps is stability and usability issues. Often they either hang, crash or stop receiving notifications for some reason or another. And that is very frustrating.

Honestly, if you want you app to be the best notification app (whether free or paid), you should look at the two other similar notification app and combine the best features with your app which I believe provides the best visual experience but lacks in features.
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Thanks for the list Renegade!

You should have seen this app the first revision 2 months ago, it was as plain as it gets :laugh:

Some stuff is doable, other might not, right now is limited by my limited knowledge of Android an Tizen, like you say I like to work more on stability so for me is means to add 1 or 2 new features per release.

note 4

Hello i dony seem to be able to get the app for the note 4. I had it on my s4 and s5 but they are gone and i dont seem to be able to find the app in the sam store or on the net anywere. Is there some where is can get the .apk?
[Samsung Gear 2] nmtuan.pnt:
I use NowNotifier app, i thinks ít very good. But the battery life is very bad :(

Send from GN2 & G2N of nMt
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Yeah, the last version was certified before the note 4 was released. Looking into this weekend to submit the new version to the Gear store with Note 4 support.
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Compared against another apps or just in general? an also do you have an idea why is that?
[Samsung Gear 2] nmtuan.pnt:
Ok. I think the application is a heavy, I can not swipe from the top down when it runs ( my clip) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By-GKaHRWE4zTlZTSGtDN3BqQ2c/edit?usp=docslist_api

I think it should have more history notification and limite notification ( when phone screen on )

Will clicking on a new notification to access the entire message return...... I was able to do this before, now when i click on the notification it does nothing... Would like to view entire message before i respond to it...... Thanks.
[Samsung Gear 2] Razor29:
Can i ask you something as a fellow gear store developer. I fail to understand the comment/star system in the Gear store.. Some of my apps have a ton of feedback and rating, seen through my seller account page, but not on the app page in the store.. Do you know why some comments appear to me alone plus thr star rating yet rarely do they appear on the actual app page on the gear app store...?
[Samsung Gear 2] gyuri81:
how the notification go back to clock face ?
[Samsung Gear 2] AndroidState:
Cant download on note 4 with gear 2.

APK?
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
I've asked this to seller support, seems there are many "stores" for different geographic areas, so through the store page you can only see the feedback of your region.
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Thanks for the video, I see many people have problem with the swipe library I'm using, I have to look for another one.
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Yeah, I've just got the watch that I order, I'll be testing the fix on it
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Haven't tested this yet in an actual gear, just in the emulator, so if it works I'll appreciate the feedback,

Basically I just do a workaround where I turn off the screen and on again

tizen.power.turnScreenOff();

tizen.power.turnScreenOn();
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Yes the latest APK in the store is not certified for Note 4, I would publish the APK but wouldn't work either way since you would need a developer certifacte with your device UID to run it in your watch. Working in a final bug to push support for Note 4.
[Samsung Gear 2] nmtuan.pnt:
Yup. I hope u will fix it :(

[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
What device you have? If is not a note 4, the old version should still be there. If not I'll have to send another email to support about that.

Im use Note 2 ( rom DN4 ) :( and build.prop like Note 4 :(((((

Rek Nguyen
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Maybe is that? This update was the version to support Note 4, but since it got rejected I have to wait till i get the feedback why it was rejected, fix that, and resubmit the application to the store once again.
[Samsung Gear 2] re-2007:
any progress ??????
[Samsung Gear 2] johann.r:
Finally got word from Samsung yesterday, basically what the report said is to change the swipe library as it doesn't work well. I'll have to rework the frontend this weekend to be able to submit a new update.

i'm eagerly awaiting the support for this on the N4..looks like a real good app.

any way to upload an APK for us in the mean time?
[Samsung Gear 2] dersie:
Hi,

I really like your NowNotifier App. I have an LG-R and G-Watch and I like some actionable notification. Especially with CalenGoo wich have snooze feature on actionable wear notification.

I can snooze for 5, 10, 15, 30 min by swipping left and choose an action. If I dismiss by swipping right the android CalenGoo notification is dismissed. It is like this it works on Wear.

On your app I have 2 issues.

- When dismiss notification in NowNotifier by Swipping Right, the android notification is not dismissed on phone.

Swipe left to choose Snooze option works well.

- After dismiss notification in NowNotifier the NowNotifier Green window stay on screen and can not be closed. Swipe up/down do not close the window. I must press Gear button to return to screen clock.

Galaxy S4 4.4.2 and Gear 2.

Thank you very much for this apps ;)

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breacherman:
Any one actually time how fast their note 4 charges for them? Mine didnt seem to charge any faster than my GS4 the last few days so I finally set a timer, and it charged 50% in just over an hour and a half. Way off what samsung claimed, considering this was supposed to take only 30 minutes...and yes I have fast charging enabled and am using the fast charging adapter.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zabiel:
In 20 minutes charged about 33%. I am happy, cause fast charging working very well. From 25% to 95 % in 60 minutes.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophet42:
I've done measurements this morning after getting my Note 4 last night.

I agree. I've found little difference between fast charging, and normal at the levels i was measuring.

Perhaps it works faster between 0 and 50%, which seems to be the stats Samsung always quoted. If there is any kind of intelligence circutry going on, it must be varying the amount of ampage being drawn from the charger.

I've found the amps drawn to be VERY low as compared with the S5. Obviously the voltage is the main thing changing with Samsung's "fast Charging" plug.

For example changing from 90% to 100% I found:

USB 2 lead supplied with phone + normal plug = 23mins 31 seconds

USB 2 lead supplied with phone + fast charging plug supplied by Samsung = 23 mins dead.

31 seconds difference is hardly stallar!

Yes you can say it depends on what apps were consuming resource in the background, but it was just standard apps synching etc.

Screen was off the entire time, and nothing processor intensive was actively running.

But I did notice something interesting:

If watts = amps x volts it might explain why the phone isn't charging that fast at the 90% level.

Note 4:

With anker 40w 5-port charge (capable of outpitting 2.4 amps per port, the typical draw was between 300 and 450 ma

With Samsung fast charger it was drawing between 250 and 350ma.

Obviously I'm not counting voltage, which will definitely play a part in the overall wattage. But there has to be some kind of intelligence here controlling it as it's not steady.

S5:

Anker 5-port: 1200ma steady

Fast charger (not compatable of course): 1200ma Steady

Which is also intereting seeing as the max output is 1800ma, so the phone still isnt drawing the max it could do.

Might try draining the Note 4 down even more, and seeing if it does up the draw when the battery is nearing empty
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
I was very impressed with the charging.

The ultimate test for me was when I was playing a fairly graphics hungry game whilst being connected to the fast charger. It continued to charge the phone up to 100% from 30% in around 40 minutes whilst playing.

I believe the best way to ensure the results are comparable is to make sure the phone is completely powered down and the battery has had a handful of recharge cycles first.

Anyhow, I am impressed with the charging and the battery consumption of my Note 4 to date

.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophet42:
Impressive. Considering you were using a lot of screen and processing power. Sounds like a wait and see is in order, see how it pans out.

Battery life doesn't seem bad for what I have used, not but much better than I had on the S5. In time I expect things to improve though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honhan0904:
With me fast charging work very well

30 mins then 50% when playing some small game and surfing web
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I went from 21% to 75% in about 40 minutes the other day (was monitoring), but my device was on and I had used it a few times in between that time... fast charging is really meant to be used when your device is OFF - that's where you'll get the most benefit.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Mine works fine. Remember it works while screen is off or phone powered down. Also from 0-50 only. Beyond that and it will use 5v to charge instead of the 9v. That's why Fast Charging will only work with the charger it came with.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinx1127:
Are you still having the same issue?

Im charging my phone for the first time and i dont find the fast charging works well with me. Its been an hour already and my battery is still at 30%. I also turn off my phone to make sure i get the 30mins 50% but no luck. Should fast charging kicks in after several recharge cycle?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] couragedragon:
Remember, it's called adaptive fast charging so it's charging rate varies depending on variables such as temperature, etc.

I went from 20% to 96% in about 60-90 minutes today. Not too bad.

I don't plan on using fast charging much to test, but it's my first few days with the phone and I've been stress testing it to see how battery life is.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanr Zij:
90mins for me from 1% to 100%.

Impressed with mine used to have a spare battery but not anymore as the beast can really fast.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissileMax:
Must use included charger and CABLE

I found that for fast charging to work you must use the cable and charger that shipped with the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moraymol:
hey and im sorry to dig this thread out again, but wondering if another tried fast charging with third party battery, I bought a ravpower note 4 battery off amazon and charged it with my note 4 adapter and I went from 10% to 50% in about 50 minutes, im sure its not fast enough. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ita7ia:
note 4 adaptive fast charging

The phone has a chip and the charger has a chip it is this that allows the phone to charge at 9v only between 0 to 50. It's easy for people to be unimpressed because Samsung typically charge quickly. I tried a LG g3 for a few days and it charged ridiculously slow compared to a Samsung if it is taking an hr and a half to charge your phone halfway I would consider using your warranty for a new device or battery
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSK1:
is this correct?

It will only do fast charging below 50%?

What if it starts at 45% - will it stop when it gets to 50%?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwb8771:
I'm finding that Adaptive Fast Charging (AFC) only works (phone reads "fast charging") when the charge cycle is started while the phone's battery is almost dead. Now, "almost dead" means different things to different people, but my GS6 won't use AFC unless it's really low - I know it won't kick on/in circa 35%, but I don't know the precise level.

Here's some an interesting comment made on the awesome article at the link below:

"You should note though, that CABLES DO MATTER. Every el-cheapo ebay cable isn't supported for quick charging. They usually allow about 700mA to pass through. You need high quality cables that probably came with your smartphone in order for quick charging to work. I have done several tests with my Note 4 with several cables and an adapter that meters the output Amperage."
