[Q] Muting connected phone and Lollipop - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just updated to Lollipop on my Moto g 1st gen and since then, having my phone muted while connected to my Asus Zenwatch does not work. It worked perfectly fine on KitKat, but since upgrading to Lollipop, it won't work no matter what I do. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Or does anyone know how to fix this? It's only been a day and I already miss this feature a lot!

For me, it seemed to just fix itself. All my calls, sms, notifications only vibrate on my watch like they should.

Yes that's also something that changed in the last days.
Yesterday I noticed something : when trying to start music from the watch with manual input it shows the play music card on the watch for a short time and it seems to be the old style where all the buttons are in a separate screen. When the phone is ready to play the music, the card disapears just like so from my watch.
I tried resyncing my wear apps and deleted the data of my play music app. Nothing helped.

Android wear hasnt been updated to lollipop yet. Theres a problem between lollipop media controls and android wear at the moment so thats why. The card prolly appears when music is paused. I know it does for me. It will let me start the music again, but then the card vanishes again. We jusr gotta wait for google to release the new android wear.

As far as im aware it is common for lollippp users. Had the problem on my n4. Thewn notifications for music worked on my moto x, but as soon as i updated to lollipop they left again.
The Android wear update should be out soon. 9to5google posted about it yesterday with screenshots.

[Q] Viber call issue after Lollipop update

When i am connected to wifi and make a viber call, it automatically disconnects after 5 seconds but when i am using my mobile data, it works fine. Viber message works good in both wifi and mobile data. My wifi connection is also strong. I started to get this problem after getting into lollipop.
Anyone facing same problem?? Please anyone has any solution??
I'm having the same issue but im on xperia T device
Issue solved.

My issue solved bro. I just get back to 4.4.4 and update to 5.0.1 through OTA and viber works.
Previously, I updated with image files.
If u r having same problem, try it.
Thanks, but I can't do ota updates since this there is no support for my device anymore. But this happens with skype also...I hope someone figures something out.

Now i figured it out that viber call is not working on ROOTED lollipop when i am unrooted, it works well.
I guess I will go back to rooted 4.4.4 rather than unrooted lollipop as Viber is impartial for me.
And yeah I am not having any problem with Skype. Hope u will get it fixed soon

Notifications unreliable... any ideas?

I'm running 4.4.4 on a Samsung Verizon S5 paired with a Moto 360 2nd Gen running 6.0.1.
My notifications seem to be very unreliable. The biggest pain is that I can't seem to find any pattern to what happening. Here's what might happen after any notification comes in:
Vibration on the watch, followed with NO notification showing on the watch display.
Vibration on the watch, followed by notification displayed as I would normally expect.
Vibration on the watch, followed by a displayed notification, but the display comes 4-6 seconds AFTER the vibration.
Vibration on the watch, followed by a display of the PREVIOUS notification, which then flips to the current notification after about 4-6 seconds.
As I said, it's really annoying because I just can't seem to pin down exactly what's causing the issue or any sort of pattern for when it works, when it sorta works, or when it fails totally. This happens with all notification types to varying degrees. GMail, Outlook, CloudMagic, Hangouts, SmartThings... to name the programs I regularly get notifications from.
The only non-standard thing I'm running on my watch would be WatchMaker Premium. I don't have any app launchers running on my watch.
I've tried uninstalling outlook (as someone in the Android Forums suggested). I've tried a factory reset on the watch. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling Android Wear on the phone. I've tried re-syncing apps... Just not having any luck figure out what's going on.
Anyone else experience anything like this? Anyone have any suggestions/thoughts?
100% the same for me on my sw3. Sad that 1.4/6.0 doesn't fix it.
I've sent feedback via the app. There's also a couple threads about it on the official forum.

I suppose it's comforting to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. What phone/os are you running?
I'm wondering if upgrading to a new version on my phone would help at all. An 'expert' in the official forum said it shouldn't make a difference, but at the same time it shouldn't be acting like it is, so I dunno.
Just really frustrating cause "glancable" notifications is one of the big pluses of a smartwatch and right now it just isn't working.
Another question: Which service are you using? I'm on Verizon. If you aren't that would eliminate service as an issue.
(Yes, I know that service shouldn't be an issue... but maybe whatever programs/radio/whatever Verizon pushes on the phone might somehow screw with things??)
FWIW, I flashed a new 5.0 rom last night. After lots of effort getting things back up and running (mostly), I'm getting proper notifications. Not sure why, but something in the process of flashing got things working again.

Same issues with my Verizon S5 and 360. How did you downgrade the moto 360 from 6.0 to 5.0? I saw the forum about it but it wasn't clear.

Vibration intensity bug

Hi all,
About two months ago I had a problems with my notifications, they suddenly stopped vibrating when one came through, this applied to both the loud and vibrate profiles, although phone calls vibrated it was just the notifications.... roll on a month later and it started happening again!
I totally forgot the settings I changed to fix the issue previously so over the last week or so I've been checking what could be the cause, I then found the culprit, for some reason the vibration intensity for notifications was set to zero, why this was set I don't know.
I've tried to replicate this problem by changing the sound profiles to see if the vibration intensity will go back to zero and it hasn't, I've manually enabled D.N.D that doesn't change it, therefore I'm puzzled what has caused this to change by itself, any ideas?
Very same issue dude, S7. Did you find a fix ?

I never did; it's happened several times since, normally about a month apart, at least I know how to fix it now. I'm running the nougat beta atm so will be interesting to see if it happens in this.

Do you know if this still happens on 7.0 or any other strange bugs showing up ?

I've been on Nougat for about 3 months and not had that bug at all ?

That's good. I'm still holding off on 7.0 marshmallow is running smooth for me and can't find a good enough reason for update. They should have included the Google assistant.

microphone acting up

I recently updated my xt575 with the September security patch. Since then my microphone doesn't work only when making a phone call on speakerphone. Normal phone calls, audio and video recording, and voice commands all work just fine. I have tried booting into safe mode with no success, and then did a full factory reset and held off on downloading anything before trying again, still with no success. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know of a fix or workaround for this before I try contacting Motorola? Thanks.
P.s. I am on stock ROM on Att network. I use Android pay a lot so would like to avoid rooting.

Same man. It's weird too. It will fix itself after a couple days - or at least mine did

Odd... I am on AT&T, for the moment at least, and use my speakerphone all the time, never had an issue before or after the update.
Try clearing your cache partition maybe?
Same problem
Hello. I'm trying to solve my Moto's mic for over a week now.
I was trying many ROMs, but ended up using TruePureXMM ROM along with franken kernel.
It was all working fine, except some overall phone lag and constantly trying out other kernel auditor settings...
...untill about 2 weeks ago. Phone's microUSB port got damaged, and I had to return my phone to repair service.
After I received it back, I wanted to try out some Nougat ROMs, and tried couple of them, but found out that the mic isn't working properly there.
Decided to return back to stock, using this forums tutorials, done it without any single errors or problems in the process, I did many devices roms changes before.
It didn't help at all. The receiver don't hear me at all, the only sound they can hear is when I blow into the mic's direction.
*Note that when I change to speaker mode, the receiver hear me with some breaks in between, but it's the only way to call from now on...
I'm confused now, completely no idea if it is really the OS problem, or if it's just something with the microphone itself.
Looking forward for any tips, thanks for help.

I hope so. It's been a few weeks already... If it doesn't fix itself then hopefully the nougat update will help.

I have tried that too. Nothing send to help and I've been searching online for a while for a solution with no results. I don't think being Att has any relevance but figured I'd share that anyways just in case.
