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
Mute interruptions on phone

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."
All,
I am getting settled with a Moto360, I keep my phone on vibrate all day. I believe this causes the notifications to the watch to be "silent', meaning I don't get any notice when they arrive. If I don't look at the watch, I would never know anything happened. I also have a Gear Fit, and when it gets a notification, it vibrates. Is there a setting for this on Wear? Regardless of my phone sound profile, I'd like the watch to buzz so I know something landed.
Is possible??
Thanks
No, then?
Have Wear notifications changed recently, maybe with the Marshmallow update?
I always have my phone on silent and rely on my Watch to alert me to notifications (particular if my phone is plugged in charging on a flat surface).
Now when my phone is on mute, I don't get notifications at all on my watch (Zenwatch), when I check the watch, notifications are set to 'None'. If I change this to 'All', I get notifications again, but this switches my phone (HTC M8) to full sound notifications, not what I want!
Am I just behind the curve here with how this works now, or does it sound like there's an issue with my paired phone & watch? I use Zenwatch Manager too if that causes any issues.
Thx
I'm having the same issue... The mute alerts and calls function in Android Wear setting doesn't do anything. The phone still rings/vibrates along with my watch, which is annoying. Did this feature break with the MM update?

Well the good news is that I fixed this. Bad news: it fixed itself when I got a new phone (Galaxy S7 Edge, already on MM). So my guess is that it was some weirdness with phones upgraded to MM because the watch etc is the same, just different device it's connecting to now. I had previously tried everything on the old phone (re-installing Zenwatch Manager, factory settings on Watch etc).
I have a htc m8, had similar issue. If I set phone to vibrate then set the switch in android wear app to mute phone notifications when connected to watch it works. It just doesn't stick on a phone reboot so I have to go back into wear app each time and turn that setting off then back on again in the wear app on the phone then it works.
What I do is setting the notification sound to none via tasker when my watch is connected to the phone.
This way my phone is totally silent. When setting notification volume to 0, it starts vibrating. My phone vibrates nearly as loud as the notification sound when placed on a table...
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.

That was not what I was asking about.
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)?
