Venu series

Former Member over 5 years ago

I have Garmin Venu and I'm migrating from Samsung Wear..

I notice some things which should be developed from Garmin tech guys for 4.50+ FW..

Notification badge icon should be icon based on app which send notification.. So if it's from Viber then should be Viber icon and not generic green icon.. etc..

When somebody call you there should be also settings if you want to also present picture as background of person who is calling you.. same for messages..

Also Viber calls not parsed to watch.. notification for Viber is enabled.. so this is bug..

Also.. there should be double tap to close screen.. currently double tap enable it - make it to ON.. to close you must wait - probably would double tap when screen is ON be good solution to make it also to go OFF..

Another problem.. Android alarm clock is not forwarded to clock.. There is no setting to enable / disable that.. c'moon.. this is minimal what should be done many years in past..

Seperate alarm clock OK.. but default is allways on phone - phone clock should be primary alarm..

Another missing function.

On incomming call the big tap on screen should mute the call.

Also if screen is ON and you make big tap on it screen should go off.

Samsung watch has this and they do not have any additional sensor for that, probably they are using gyroscope and detecting this kind of screen tap..

So.. any ideas.. will this ever be developed or we are stuck in prehistoric era with this watch?

Another lack of function. Running multiple app at same time..

If I want to use let's say "Hiking" activity I can not use at the same time Locus navigation guide app..

Why not to make left display menu more flexible so that I can add Locus map app or whatever program is needed on left display menu and on right display menu other choosen activity..

Currently on left display menu there are just 7 preset options.. how to add my own app there?

Hi, I did publish there and I did even not get any answer from they.. Maybe more people would need to publish this "ideas" which is not so ideas at all but reality to competion to their link..

Everything what I want is that this product become more useable and better product. Garmin should take that ideas seriously as this can be really good sales boost...

But thank you for your link.. Will do that again..
