I appreciate the intention however having the watch vibrate several times everytime that I drift in and out of range of my cell phone is a new and extremely annoying feature. The beauty of having wifi connect to the watch is that I don't want to have to think about connections let alone be told every 5 minutes that I am essentially walking. I know that I am walking.
Or is it just my Moto 360 that's doing that?
Thanks!

Its a feature of watchmaker. It doesnt vibrate with Standard watchfaces .

Turns out it is a big with Animated Watch Faces app. Vibrate is off and the watch face not the current one, but it still makes the watch vibrate.
Uninstalled!
Thanks!

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??
Well...Doesn't mute my phone.. On the moto 360

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.
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."
I updated my Moto 360 to AW2.0 yesterday and just like everyone else I realized that Google has changed how DND work and that the watch can have it's own setting separate from the phone.
I'm not here to judge if it's good or bad, that probably depends on how you use your phone and watch.
But... is this really how it's supposed to work?
1. Phone is normal, watch is normal: notifications sounds and vibrates on phone, watch vibrates.
2. Phone is normal, watch is in DND: notifications sounds and vibrates on phone, watch is silent.
3. Phone is in DND, watch is normal: both are silent.
4. Phone is in DND, watch is in DND: both are silent.
I can think of many scenarios where I want the phone to be silent, but the watch to vibrate. I can't really think of any scenarios where I only want my watch to be silent.
I know that I can get the same by making the phone silent through the Android wear app, but that is not an easy way to do it.

Anyone have any ideas? I still have this problem...
Hi, I'm just wondering what peoples experiences with No.1 DT98 smartwatch have been like.
Mine has not been a good one so far. It disconnects from bluetooth randoml; the wake-up gesture doesn't work; you can't set it (as far as I know) to just vibrate when you get a normal SMS text message; and trying to get it to just alert you on things without texts and phone calls being pushed to the watch so everyone in the room can hear you answer the phone is not simple to turn off. Some settings are in the bluetooth connection settings on the mobile phone, some are in the Fundo app, some are in the watch itself - confusing!
The first watch I received had a hole missing for the strap prongs to sit in - what are the chances?!
Watch faces are pretty cr*p as well!
Anyone got anything positive to say about this watch? Am I missing something? Can you actually get the watch to vibrate when you get a text message (like the cheap £10 watches do)?
