So, as the title says, can you "mute" (silence the ringing tone, on the smartphone, of) an incoming call *without rejecting it*?
To be even more clear: the same action on my current smartphone (Note 3) is performed by pressing the volume rocker (up or down) and that results in the phone still "ringing" (as far as the caller is concerned) but no sound coming from the smartphone.
I am interested in getting my first Android Wear device (an LG G Watch R) and this, together with full notification mirroring and Google Keep integration, would be one of the reasons to get it, for me.
Another very big one would be being able to read a TXT/DOC/RTF/PDF file but AFAIK that's not (yet) possible...
TIA!
Come on... no one?!?
Does this capability really interest so few people??

Hi,
what happens if you cover the watchface with your palm (same gesture that puts the watch in standby) while receiving a call notification..?
May you try it?
I heard from someone who has an Asus ZenWatch that it does what we are after but he also said that he thinks that is exclusive to the ZenWatch (an Asus mod, in other words).

Mutes the call on my phone by covering the face of the watch with my hand, I have a Zenwatch. Does not hang it up.

So you are confirming what that guy said... now it remains to be seen if the fact that it is exclusive to the ZenWatch is also true
Good thing that somebody is doing it, anyway, 'cause it makes a lot of sense and it will most probably be adopted by Android Wear natively (just like Google has adopted in "mainstream" Android a lot of Samsung's good ideas...) :good:
So... may somebody with any smartwatch other than the ZenWatch, try this??

It'a part of the software on the Zenwatch
Thanks everybody.. so it's confirmed.... oh well, I hope Google (or more OEMs) fix this glaring omission soon!
Tried on my lg g r, mutes the watch but not the phone, but at least the watch stops disturbing me, I was about to go mad for a while when people kept calling during a meeting, since muting the phone don't stop the watch from vibrating

Hi, i have been trying also to find a solution for mute the call on both ( phone and watch moto 360) the only thing i can do is when receiving a call if i cover the watch it stops vibrating but the phone still rings, the same if you press the side button, stops the watch but not the phone. Hope they add this feature i miss it a lot.
Regards
Just to confirm additionally... Gear Live does NOT work to cover watch to mute phone (Galaxy S5, stock lollipop).
Out of curiosity, why do you not want to dismiss the call?

Are you really asking it..?!? Because that way the caller KNOWS that you saw he/she was calling and you didn't want to talk with him/HER... :laugh:
Oh, okay... that makes sense I guess. I never thought of it that way. I guess I don't generally get that many calls that I can ignore.
Either that means I'm very important and and only talk about important stuff, or I'm very unpopular and no one calls me to chit chat.

Hi Friends!
I plan to buy the LG G Watch R
But what i still really miss on the Android Wear Devices is the possibility to make a call with the Watch.
So i Would like to ask if it is possible to answer a call on the watch what turns on the Smartphones speaker but uses the Watches inbuild microphone?
So i can lay the phone down in my car for example and do not need to pick it up when a call gets in our even when i left it in my pocket i do not have to take it out on a quiet place to hear the Phones Speaker.
Do You know if there is a Android wear Watch with inbuild speaker allready planned?
Greetings, Michael
(sorry for my bad English)
There are apps for switching the speaker on phone when you receive a call on the watch....but you have to speak into the phone. .not the watch

I'm thinking of switching from Pebble to Android Wear. I'm curious, do notifications from your phone come through consistently and quickly? On Pebble (at least with Android) about 25% of the time a notification takes 2-5 seconds to show up on the watch, or never shows up at all. I'll feel my phone buzz and sit there staring at my watch, waiting. It gets really annoying! Happened with both my S3 and Nexus 5.
Has anyone experienced similar with Android Wear watches? Or particular models? Thanks!

no missed notifications at all .
Awesome. I think I'll be ordering Black Friday or cyber Monday. Now, to decide which one.
No missed notifications at all. Working great!
After 2 weeks with my LG G Watch R, I'm afraid that after 18 months with my Pebble I've grown accustomed to doing things in a certain way and that's not the right way for Android Wear.
Could anybody enlighten me?
My watch almost never vibrates. Mails, Whatsapp messages... it doesn't matter, most notifications show as cards (which I notice after a too long time) but I don't get vibrations.
My phone is a Sony Xperia Z3 with 4.4.4 (5.0.1 on the watch). When I used my Pebble it was always muted and most apps had notifications off. Now Whatsapp and Gmail have notifications on, since I read somewhere that Android Wear devices would only vibrate if the app was supposed to make some noise. However, I still don't get vibrations.
Thanks in advance

As far as i got with this (still no Facebook notifications here) this has to do with the sound options, very logical (not) on your phone..
If you have notifications set to just vibrate with no sound on your phone there will be no vibration on your wrist, someone needs to visit that google programmer with a clue bat i think :-/
If you want your watch to be the one to get the notifications and no sound on your phone, set up all apps on your phone to use sounds, and set in Android wear app, silence the phone. This will quit your phone from responding with sounds (an i think also vibrations) while your watch should do the heavy lifting.
Why they did it this way, Google only knows, we desperately need a alternative Android wear build with a much better control of vibrations and how each type of notifications should act!

That's not true. I have set my Google+ notifications to no sound but enabled vibrations. The system wide notification strength on my note 3 is set to 0. In this way only my lg g watch r is vibrating on incoming notifications....

Well. No notifications at all after updating my phone to lollipop 5.1. In Android Wear, the option to turn on notification is greyed out. Upon application startup, I get a message saying: "Android Wear needs you to turn on notifications" but I cannot turn them on. A full hard reset of both, watch and phone, did not help. Downgrade of Android Wear APP to different old versions did not help. My watch is useless now and my Ascend Mate 7 MT10 with Lollipop 5.1 is not downgradable to kitkat any more without unlocking the boot loader which I do not want to do. So, If I would have a Pebble, I think I would stick to it until Lollipop issues are resolved at least you want to keep you devices on KitKat and renounce to update to lollipop.
These are my two cents from a frustrating experience.
just install informer
All problem SoLved
just install "informer for android wear - notification"
Hey guys,
As you may know, on android wear 5.0.1 (the last update), silent/viber mode are synced with the phone : If you put your phone in silent mode, your watch will be in silent mode too.. and if you try to un-mute the watch, the phone will be unmuted too...
That's pretty annoying (I suppose that I'm not the only one to keep watch notifications enabled, with phone set in silent mode ?)
Does anybody has a way to disable this "sync" ?
Thanks
Android wear app has the option

Well, that's not what I am speaking about :/
This option is disabled in my case but, when I mute the phone, the Watch is also muted, and vice versa..
Here's an example of what I'm speaking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BftNG1VRAQ
That's really annoying. I don't have the update yet, but what happens if you put the phone volume all the way down in vibrate mode?

Well, that does nothing on the watch. But that means you can't have a full silent mode on your phone without muting the watch too..
Apparently, this syncing between phone and watch volumes was intended but I don't see the value of it. I think the whole idea of a smartwatch is so that you can mute your phone entirely (no vibration) and still get notifications on your watch. That's how I used my Moto 360 before the Lollipop updates. It's a bug that needs to be addressed.

Yep, that's exactly my point of view. is there any official bug report/feature request for Android Wear ?
Nevermind, I've posted a request on the bug tracker : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82730&thanks=82730&ts=1418672612
This is so frustrating! The entire reason why I found my g watch useful was because I could keep my phone on silent while in class and still be notified from my watch with incoming notifications! I hope Google fixes this! I doubt this is a bug. I think they synchronized the watch and phone for "simplicity."
Using stock dialer, on Oreo. (Had the same problem on Nougat.)
When a call comes in, it does not allow me to answer the call. If I drag up on the ball for "answer", it simply bounces back. It won't "answer".
However, this only happens when the phone is "cold". After answering a call the phone answers normally for future calls
Any ideas?
This doesn't seem to be a dead spot in the touch screen, as I can suspend the ball at the apex for an indefinite time.
The problem seems to be that it doesn't trigger the "call answer". It isn't accepting it as an input.
This is repeatable, but once it has "answered" a call, it will generally answer the next few calls accurately.
I have the same thing on Nougat and Oreo too can be pretty annoying at times

I am on T-Mobile and have not seen this happen. Any of you using WiFi Calling, if not try and see if it makes a difference.
Don't swipe up from the icon.
Swipe up from higher up, near the contact picture.
Just like the rest of the google apps, google doesn't use a proper viewport and the coordinates are messed up the essential phone.

I'm on Metro Pcs which is on the same network as T-Mobile. Some times it takes like 3-4 swipes to get it answer sometimes on the first one and I've actually missed phone calls because it wouldn't answer
I'm not using WiFi calling either

This is my second headset and the first one was without this issue. If you have any one with another carrier, try their sim card. This is what I have done with another phone brand when there was an unrelated to your issue.

Or anywhere in the middle of the screen: swipe up to answer or down to reject a call.
can't answer calls on oreo now
anyone got a fix or workaround ??
This happens to me too. Does the same thing to ignore. I also have problems where I can't hear the person for a good 30 seconds, even though it gives me the ringtone when the call is placed. Sprint says it's not on their end... I've pretty much decided to sell this.
Before this I had Moto G5 Plus which was highly rated as the best budget and it had a ton of issues too. I may buy an iPhone for the first time. I'm just tired of always having an issue with something on an Android device. I just want a product that works 100% of the time.

If you start in the middle of the screen and swipe UP in short strokes, doe this resolve your issue.
I've seen this come up a few times on here and the subreddit and haven't had an issue answering or declining calls :S
Every other phone I've had has flip to mute. Every time a customer calls me at the butt crack of dawn I'm reminded to ask about this but I never do. I looked everywhere, or so I think. Is it gone? Any alternative?

There is a new feature rolling out call flip to shhhh or something as part of something Google... Dunno when though
I'm sure there is also an app on the play store that would do that for you... And I'm positive you can do it with Tasker but it would require some setup that isn't super intuitive since Tasker does a bunch of things...
This has been baked into so many stock ROMS for years, I'm shocked this isn't in this one. I use tasker and have quite a few configs but I'd rather not have to rely on it for that. I'm not even sure which sensor i'd have to monitor to determine the unit was flipped over rather than just moved in my pocket while ringing.

It isn't always during DND times. There are many times I'd just like to flip the phone. I can mute w/ the volume buttons but for some reason that does not send callers to VM and they just call again.
Dave
I think there is an app that will do this. I had this with the Moto x pure and I got twist for camera working for a time on the ph1via some app. The same app had a facedown silence mode if I recall. Problem is I can't remember what app it was.
Ok I think an app is what i need as I had 3 customers wake me up this AM. I'll google around.

I use AutomateIt Pro with accelerometer with two separate rules: one to mute on face down and one to unmute on face up; both with a 10% tolerance.

Thanks i tried a similar thing in tasker and I could only get it to vibrate. Audio silent never did anything. It seems since do not disturb is around that that silent feature doesn't work.
