Hi everyone,
I have done a search on the forum and have not found a thread that is similar to the issue I am having. I recently bought an asus zenwatch 2 and after hours of extensive research I think it may be a known issue, now I am posting to see if people have found a way around this or an app that can do it. Basically, I understand that Android wear watches receives notifications based on what the phone receives. If phone is on silent I wont receive any notifications either. So here are a few questions I have:
1) I have mute phone notification setting on my Asus zenwatch 2 selected on the android wear app, However, this does not apply to phone calls, if I get a phone call it will not mute the ringtone and will ring on my phone. Is there a known solution or an app that can stop this?
2) Is there a way or an app to separate the notifications setting so that the watch and phone can be controlled separately? Something similar to Pebble method of notification settings?
3) I was wondering if there is a face designer app that allows you to customize watch faces with unlimited widgets on the watch face, instead of just 3? Is there one that is compatible with wear mini launcher?
Cheers!
1. I use Tasker for this. I noticed that option didn't work for me either.
2. I don't know what you mean by this but you can set the notifications for every app in the application notifications settings menu on the phone and block apps from the android wear setting.
3. Try the Watchmaker app.

Thanks Jahciple,
Still learning about tasker, but it seems like it is a saviour for android users, I'll definitly look into it, thanks for the idea. Will I need to root?
In regards, to the second question, I meant is it possible to be able to control the notifications separately from the watch? Such as having the phone on silent and the watch still vibrates? Or say, having the watch to silent and the phone on vibrate? hopefully this makes sense.
Yep, found watchmaker and am using, definitely what I need.
Cheers!
I don't think there is way to control the notifications like what you are stating. I used Tasker to just turn off the vibrate on the phone when my watch is connected through bluetooth and then just put my watch in theater mode when I don't want to receive anything on the watch at the moment, but once you disable theater mode, you should still see the notifications. I really wished there was a way to turn off the vibrate on the watch, I just want to hear my phone, when a call is coming in and then look at the watch to see who it is.

Hi Jahciple,
Are you able by any chance to show me what profile/action you set up to achieve this?
Cheers!

Hi. As far as I can see there is no thread like this in the Nexus 5 subject. What Profiles do you guys find useful? I myself is pretty new to tasker and has mostly just browsed around the web to find some useful profiles for my everyday living. I will soon post my examples here.

I'd love to have a profile that enables sync when connected to a charger and WiFi/data is enabled. I haven't been able to figure it out though. Also I feel like it drained my battery a bit.

Thanks I'll give it a shot, and how would I go about disfavoring sync when disconnected from charger?

The exit task handles that.

help with profile?
I'm trying to set a profile that silences my phones various volume and setting it to vibrate when I get to work. Only problem is that the work wifi has "dead zones" and will disconnect if I go to certain places causing the profile to unnecessarily turn on and off.
I'm wondering if I can use a "wait" command as a delay followed by an "if" statement to double check if all the conditions are met before tasker actually does anything (Example: Did I go to the bathroom with no wifi for a minute or did I actually leave work for good?)
If anyone could help me with the variable aspect of this I think I could get it done.
As it stands I have "Wifi connected to work network" as the context, turn down all volumes and set to vibrate as the enter task and restore all volumes as the exit task.

Use "time" as the trigger for the task instead of Wifi..like if u reach your workplace by 9 and leave at 5:30 then set this time period as the trigger for your silent profile..this would save your battery too..

That is useful...Thank you! My schedule can vary but I think it might accomplish what I need. Now I have a separate question
I'd like the media volume to only turn down if music ISNT playing. I noticed that the MTRACK variable might be able to help me with this but I'm not sure what to use as the second part of the if statement.
What I have now is if %MTRACK!=playing then set media volume to 0 but Tasker is telling me that "the variable is not being monitored" any ideas?

Well ..if u listen to music via earphones then set the condition for a particular level of high volume "when the earphones are plugged in". .when u plug them out then set an " exit task on removal of earphones" to bring the volume down..so when u plug out the media volume will be zero or whatever level u want

Anyone can tell me the difference between tasker and IFTT? I've been using IFTT and it seems to make these tasks a little less complicated. Then again I don't do too much crazy stuff, just silencing at work, loud when I leave, etc

Iftt is just like you said, less complicated than tasker. While good it lacks the ability for more complicated tasks. With tasker you can have your phone do pretty much anything you want. That is if you can figure out the complicated programming language to make it happen. In addition tasker has many useful plugins that tie in with some of the best apps such as lux, gravity screen, secure settings, etc. etc. For instance...With tasker you can have a custom alarm message played when you wake that polls information from a weather site, and reads your current location and the weather aloud in a Jarvis like voice. Super complicated to set up...For me that is...but totally awesome. With tasker sometimes I think...I wish my phone could do this...And with research and some effort I can make it happen.
Edit: I almost forgot the coolest thing about tasker. If you install the Google search api app, and link autovoice to it, you can activate tasker tasks with okay Google now. For instance if I say, okay Google reboot, the phone reboots. Or okay Google turn on Bluetooth, it turns on Bluetooth.

Try apps like app config & utasker. You can specify what to happen on launching what app & what not.

The weather profile would take me pages of typing to explain, but the okay Google interaction is quite simple. First you need root. Then xposed framework and the module called Google search api 1.1. Once that's done install autovoice. Autovoice should now show up in google search api app. Next make a profile in tasker to reboot your phone or whatever you want. To do this you will need to have "secure settings" installed for tasker. Now make the trigger for this profile an autovoice command. And voila say okay Google and your autovoice command and the tasker profile will activate.
Armando has a demo on YouTube titled "autovoice integration with Google now demo" it won't walk you through the steps to set it up, but it shows some of the cool stuff he does with it.
Hey guys, pretty new to Tasker, but I'm been brainstorming new profiles to add to my phone. I have a problem however with my latest idea. I am trying to build a "Quick charge" profile that triggers Airplane mode when connected to power (AC) but also retains Wifi radio (as I use GV/Hangouts as my primary use of communication). However using the Secure settings plugins, Wifi gets turned off regardless of my setting the the SS [Airplane mode] state to "Wifi". Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Fixed it, Secure Settings----System+------Airplane Mode Radios, Check all the DONT want to keep on, and put the task in front of Airplane mode on.
Switched to this phone from the Moto X...just looking for an app thats similar to moto assist in the aspect i can set up a silent profile at night and have anyone that calls more than once go through? I've seen tons with lists of contacts to allow to ring but I need something that will allow anyone calling more than once in a row to go through like the assist app has. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and not sure if this could go here to start a discussion in case someone is in the same boat or if it needs to go in Q&A
Yes, questions should go in Q&A. What you're looking for is Agent:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tryagent&hl=en
The "Nights Keeper" app on the Play Store might do what you want. In addition to the whitelist which you said you are not really looking for, you can use "emergency call" mode and specify the number of times a contact must call before ringing through.

I use the preinstalled Smart Connect app for quiet mode during sleeping hours, but I don't think it can be configured to let calls ring after first attempt.

One word: Tasker. ?

Nights keepers is really good!

I'd have used smart connect if it had better functionality but its too basic. So Tasker for me too.
Hi all!
Does anyone know how to not receive calls on my smartwatch?
I know its strange but I prefer use my phone to talk.
I only want to receive notifications and SMS (all normal function except communication).
I know how to transfer on the phone during a call on smartphone's screen, but I want this to be automatic.
If I unselect "call control" and "media control" in the phone's Bluetooth settings, I loose the Bluetooth connection.
Also, I want don't use "media", because I use Waze and I need the sound on the phone otherwise the sound goes on the watch.
thank you
works the same as on the u8 and all the other clones
you MUST have either media or phone audio enable, otherwise no connection, no notifications
they would need to fix this in the firmware, if that is possible at all...

Download and install: Tasker app. Differents way to get it.
I don't undertstand why, but I can continue to use it after 7 trial day...
And you need to program it. It's not so easy. You have to search and to pratice in this app in order to understand.
Find in attachement, some screenshot of my tasker.
Only the 3 first profiles are need to stop bluetooth during call.
In resume, when tasker see a call, you stop BT and you set a variable to memo BT watch was ON.
If no call and memo BT watch is ON, active BT.
Sorry for my english.
Hi there,
I'm using LG W100 for about two weeks. Generally Android Wear is preety good however there's a little anoying bug. I can't really tell if that's actually a bug or it has been made that way on purpose but it's pissing me off. If I add any app to mute list notifications from the app don't show up on the watch. Good - but whenever I open such app on the watch manually it instantly disappears from muted list. If someone made it on purpose then I believe that he wanted to make easier for dummies to un-mute app if they muted them accidently, but this is ridicoulus. Why? Only because once a week I'd like to manually open Weather app on watch to check forecast doesn't mean I want to be spamed with weather notifications every god damn 15 minutes afer doing that. Then when new notifications comes I have to mute it again and the game starts all over after I open weather AGAIN on watch. Weather is just an example of course, it happens with all wear apps.
Can someone please tell me if it's a bug or on purpose and how can I change that stupid behavior?

When you refer to mute, I am assuming you are doing that on the watch.If so, I believe this is the intended behavior and cannot be changed.
That said, have you tried blocking the notifications from the Wear app on the phone?

I don't know if it was working this way by design or what but after upgrading watch to 6.0 problem dissapeared. Apps are NOT un-muting themselves when opened on watch.
I'm using the LG Style and would like the watch to switch to DND when it's being charged, switching it back to allow notifications when removed from the charger.
Have I missed a setting or is there an IFFT rule I can apply?
I can't be the only user who doesn't understand why my watch buzzing on the desk -- far from my arm is supposed to be in any way useful.

Thanks but I know of that app -- I have zero desire to link the phone and watch DND (I'm one of the few people who think they made the right call in separating the two).
I want my phone to stay completely silent 100% of the time. The watch I want to notify of messages/calls ONLY when on my wrist.

I tried Autowear that "When power connected" change "zenmode" to 1 but it doesn't work. Can you help with how you've done it? My only goal is when my Wear OS Watch is charging, DND is turned on on the watch. (It's a Fossil).
