I am not a programer but I have though of a useful tool if anyone talented could make it work. It would be nice to have a program that would restore WM6 Volumes back to original settings from Mute or Vibrate follwing a present time period.
I typically put my phone on silent / vibrate for meetings and then forget to turn the ringer back on. It would be way cool if I could put phone on mute for a set duration of time (e.g. meeting last one hour so in one hour and 5 minutes my phone would automatically restore the ringer to on status from vibrate / silent.
Anyone know of something like this already? I have searched and cannot find anything.
That's a good idea, I experienced this problem as well.
HTC Home has an automatic setting that will do that for busy times in your schedule and set it back when you're free.
When you have the meeting set on your calendar, selecting the "Automatic" mode automatically sets the phone to silent when you're "busy" and sets it back when you're "free"
Thanks for the input as I am an HTC user and just discovered this a few minutes ago. The issue with HTC Automatic is that some of my meetings I do want my phone to ring so a full up utilization of the HTC Auto ring setting is note the best solution at this time.
If HTC development could add another ring feature for customer ringer off this would be the BOMB! I am an HTC fan.

I haven't actually tried it, but I think if you set your meeting to "free" I think the phone will still ring.
I've looked all over Microsoft's WM7 sites and I haven't seen any place to give feedback on the phone. So far I really like it and coming from a quite happy 3 year iPhone user, I think that says a lot. I tried wireless sync last night, that's really cool.
I know an update is coming, I know it's going to be a work in progress, but where can we give some legit feedback? I know I have a good few suggestions and feature requests but haven't seen anywhere to do so.
Any ideas? Plus what features/changes would you like to see?
Obvious ones are custom ringtones, copy paste, etc. but I'd like:
1. set time before the passcode lockout goes into effect instead of every stinkin time
2. when a call comes in, not having to slide up AND press accept call
3. a reoccurring message notification if you missed a text
4. option to keep battery and signal level displayed at all times
5. a way to get back to messages while in a message (back goes to wherever you were before, not necessarily directly to messages)
6. A flashlight app that uses the LED would be nice
HTC has a flashlight that uses the LED, except on the one device they have with a xenon.
I'd suggest a car mode or docked mode for Zune, leave the screen powered on, unless I turn it off when connected to power and listening to music. If unplugged or paused, turn screen off according to settings in power management, (also if the proxmity sensor is tripped for more than 15 sec, assume I put the device in my pocket or flipped it over [while plugged in]).

Hey guys im planning to buy one but i have couple of concerns i hope gets answered.
1. Does it have a map feature like i can see where exactly on the map i went the entire day?
2. If yes, will it update even if im not connected to the phone? I need a map with markings on where i went.
3. Do gps need to be turned on or just bluetooth for the map feature if it does support it.
4. Is the vibration as strong as that of the phone or weaker?
5. By any chance i can only use it for notification amd turn off all other feature to save more battery? Or am i forced to the battery drain even if i will only use it for the vibration notification?
6. Does the led light up when you have notifications? Like a constant blinking?
7. Lastly, how many vibrates if i recieve a msg? Is it like 2 vibrate, 1 long vibrate, 1 short vibrate etc.
I would appreciate some answers. I wanted to make sure i dont get dissapointed before buying one cause its not cheap..

1. No it has no native GPS capability. You would need to use Tracks or a similar app with the phone to achieve this.
2. No.
3. GPS does not need to be switched on.
4. The vibration is fairly strong.
5. The other functions do not use much battery, you can turn off the alarm and out of range function. The out of range function is hyper sensitive and triggers really easily so turning that off may save some battery. In practice the battery seems to consistently last around 5 days per charge.
6. The led will flash slowly until you read the notification on the phone.
7. You get two short vibrations for a notification, when the phone rings it will vibrate constantly if you have that function enabled.

1-2. If you bring your phone and sony core together, it will record where you go on map. You can review it in lifelog app.
3. If you wd like to see where you go, gps should be turned on.
4. Strong enough.
5. Now it have 3 notification functions only: for notifications (sms, fb and any app you want), for phone call, for function of out of range. You can turn it off any time.
6. Yes, It lights up for notifications and phone.
7. Just short vibrate for sms or out of range, long vibrate for phone call.
Hey guys.
I just contacted Motorola to request some new features be added to the stock ROM (which in my opinion) would be crucial to increasing the functionality and battery levels of the watch.
Don't know if any Motorola Dev's/Engineers are following this site but just in case, I'd love to have these features asap.
Please add more if there is anything I have missed.
1. Have the ability to turn Vibrate OFF while still receiving notifications on the watch
Why ? Because I have my phone in my pocket constantly, and my phone vibrates when a new notification comes up. I dont need my pocket and my wrist vibrating together.
Also, Increase battery life.
2. Need to have the ability to turn off notifications for certain apps. For Example, I want the watch to vibrate when an SMS or Email comes through, but turned off for Messenger, kik, and everything else.
Also, by having this feature, Im sure a developer could write up a small app to install onto the phone which would tell the watch which notifications to vibrate for, and which to just display on the screen.
And again, this will save battery life by turning the vibrate motor off for (in my case) 90% of the notifications coming through.
3. Have a slider to control the level of vibration or the burst of vibration.
Why ? This adds a level of customization to the watch.
Also, I see people complaining that the watch doesn't vibrate enough while in my case, its vibration time is too long. By having the ability to shortening the vibrate time, you also save battery life (if not by much).
By having all 3 features embedded into the ROM, On the average user, it should increase battery life by almost double (if not more).

Pretty neat ideas. I have one id like to add lol. I want to be able to turn off motion detection for the screen. I had this feature on my galaxy gear and it gave me an day and half EXTRA battery with it turned off. We could get similar battery life (3-4 days with average use,custom rom too) if this was disabled. I had to always press the button to turn the screen on to check the time, but notifications still lit the screen up when they came in. Totally worth an extra 24-36 hours of battery . However i like the idea of being able to tap the screen to wake the moto360.
So basically I want motion detection disabled but leave tap to wake on.
Can't you turn off notifications for certain apps in the Android Wear app (mute apps)?

Im not talking about turning off notifications all together.
I was talking about turning off the vibration for certain apps, but still having the notifications pushed to the Moto360 display.
Number 2 can already be done you can go to the Android Wear App in Setting Click Block App Notification then Pick Whatever App u want to mute
Oops didn't see the last comment

I like this idea because sometimes it's hard getting the watch to light up with motion, so turning off that feature for when it does work would be fine.
In my case, I have the phone vibration turned off and rely on the watch to deliver notifications.
My one and only important feature request is the ability to create my own canned response list.
Of course, official support for 3rd party keyboards would be nice as well.
Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode
I'm not sure if they intend to include Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode in their Lollipop release. Google chose not to include peripheral mode for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, although it is included with the newer Nexus 6 and 9. But for Android Wear, Peripheral Mode would enable a huge number of new and useful apps, that would significantly improve the usefulness of the watch. The simplest one would be a beacon to help you find your watch when you forgot where you left it, but enabling service solicitation would open a whole new world of applications for the watch.
#1 has worked since day one.
I get a notification, my phone remains silent, the watch vibrates. It's in the AW app settings.
according to me, since the watch has a inbuilt mic, a feature can be added that when someone calls, answer from the watch, just speak that you'll call back later & disconnect. this will be helpful if you are driving... no need to pick the phone ...

Instead of swiping to answer the call, You can just swipe upwards to reject call with similar messages sent automatically

Good list, I have one more. Allow the setting of alarms for only certain days. For example, I would like to be able to set an alarm at 7 PM that goes off only on weekdays and not weekends, as I use this to let me know when I can get into the car pool lane when I am driving back home from work. That alarm is useless on the weekend, so no need for it to be turned on every day.

Just select the days you would in alarm setup, do not check saturday and sunday
I am still wondering which watch support Bluetooth peripheral?
As I know LG G watch 5.0.1 do not support it.
if (mBluetoothAdapter.isMultipleAdvertisementSupported()) {
will return false.
on mine the whole notification thing is messed up..
sometimes it will vibrate and pop up when i get a text or email.. but then sometimes it doesnt do anything at all.
hardly ever, does it vibrate when i get a fb IM.. but it pops up and the screen lights up.
maybe they should fix it first before adding anything.

Pretty sure vibration is app dependent. Example, 8sms. You can change the vibration length in the settings. If you set your phone to 1000ms vibration when you get a text your phone AND watch will vibrate for 1000ms(or whatever vibration pattern you set) To further my point I would NEVER feel the vibration of Snapchat updates because it was so short. I'm using xposed(gravity box) to change snapchats vibration length and I feel the notification on my watch and phone every time.
I agree 100% google should have a universal setting to be able to change vibration,notification, and screen light up settings.
