OK, if the watch doesn't make a beep, what's up with the mute/unmute option from the pull down?
That's my WTF moment with the 360.
Also, why it's the vibration so light? I missed so many notifications.
It mutes the vibration and stops cards from showing up.
Mute just means you won't get notifications from your phone. Yeah I was confused at first too.

yes and no. you can still connect to your phone (i.e. google now still works). you just will not receive any notifications.

If the phone is ringing and you want to ignore the call, simply turn it over and lay it face down. The ringer will go to silent and the caller will be sent to voicemail at the end of the rings.
Anyone else have any other little tricks?
Edit: This is different from the "quiet phone on pickup" feature/preference. This will 100% silence your phone and works wether that preference is set or not.

I like the fact that the screen turns off when it's up to your face.
You can get an app like LED desire light to use the led flash as a VERY bright flashlight

I tested it and it doesn't work for me.
What would be nice is to have it go to speaker phone like my TP2 did when face down.

I'm torn on this, it's a cool feature... but sometimes I feel I pull it away from my face and instinctively go to turn it on when I notice the screen is off, then as I am pressing the power it turns on and then back off!
Thankfully I am slowly getting used to it and subconsciously knowing that it'll turn on...
I forgot to say that flipping it over doesn't shut the ringer off on mine.

wierd it works for me
Wonder if it is a setting somewhere in the phone menu or possibly an app. I am going to guess an app. What happens when you are in a call and flip it over?
Use LED Light with Camcorder and Video with flash.
not really a software trick, but... the fact that fingerprints get cleaned off after keeping the phone in the pocket some some time. Hop in the car, drive around, pull out the cell to do some GPS, screen is CLEAN aka. no glare

Menu >> Settings >> Sound & Display >> Quiet ring on pickup
Check mark it to enable or vice versa.
Does the updated text selection feature count as a 'trick'? I don't remember having it on my 2.1 ROMs for the Hero. Either way, it's infinitely better. (To me).

I already have it enabled. I know that my ringtone goes quiet when I pick it up. I had my GF call me and I flipped the phone over and it didn't go to VM on her side.

Who said anything about flipping the phone over sending the call to voicemail ? It only quiets the ringer, until the call ends up being routed to VM normally

I've only gotten that to come up once for me and I don't know how I did it. It's just like the iPhone though.
Anyone know of an app that will switch the phone to speaker phone if you place it face down? ....found one it is called Flip Speakerphone
Thanks! Flip Speakerphone is awesome!
Whenever I put my phone on silent or vibrate only, the watch doesn't vibrate for notifications either... is there anyone else experiencing this?
I am using it with a vzw g3
I am not experiencing this, but there is a setting in the Android Wear app to have watch only notifications when connected or both devices. Maybe try toggling that?

My understanding is that currently the watch will vibrate ONLY when the alert makes noise on your phone... let me see if I can dig up the article where I read that... but the article was more about not having the watch notify for certain notifications.
EDIT: Found it...
Little-known fact: Notifications will only cause your Android Wear watch to vibrate and light up if they'd also make a sound on your phone. If a notification is set to be silent on your phone, it'll show up and be available on your watch but won't do anything to alert you to its presence.

thanks!! but what about vibrate mode on your phone?
Another strange thing is.. when I select "notify on watch only" the phone goes into silent mode... And last time I tried, it, the notifications were not going off on my watch.

I would have to play around with it myself. I was just reading up on the Moto 360 when I came across that article so I am not sure about Vibrate instead of silent
I've seen a few posts about this, but never a definitive statement, and it's such odd default behavior that I want to check I have this right:
- If you have app notifications on the _phone_ on silent or vibrate, then the _watch_ notification will be silent; if it makes a noise on your phone then it will vibrate
- There is no way to override/workaround this on a per app basis
?
This is really annoying if true since I have most of my apps set to vibrate only, and I therefore want them to vibrate on my watch..

I don't experience this at all. No matter if my phone is on silent vibrate or ringer, the 360 still gets the notification. [VZW HTC M8 Stock.]

Do your notifications vibrate on your watch even when not making a sound on your phone?
Mine definitely don't (s3), but if I turn on sound on eg gmail, I'll then get watch vibrations

This is how mine works as well, I am using a Moto X running 4.4.4.
Hmm so strange ... It's not like there are billions of settings I could have misconfigured. And this is with gmail (and everything else), so not obscure apps
Fwiw I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...tion-watch-t2887718/post55687468#post55687468 with a potential solution.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing to cause my phone to randomly mute all notifications? It unmutes with a simple click up or down of the volume but isn't turned all the way down.
I've checked all the do not disturb settings and they are all off.

Was going to rage until I saw the username.
Is there any way to mute all notification sounds without vibration? When I'm working I don't want my phone to make any sounds or vibrate while it's laying on my wooden desk. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy devices and there was always an option to mute ALL notifications, sound and vibration. Am I missing something? Shouldn't have to turn on Do Not Disturb for something so simple that I'm sure many people use.

Lower the volume all the way down then push down again further and the phone will go into a full silent mode except alarms.

Why "shouldn't have to turn on DND"? What you want is exactly what DND does. No sounds and no vibration. You can even choose which notification can go through with priority mode

Yeah I agree. I use the DND toggle all the time right before I go into work. You don't even have to leave the lockscreen.

When DND is on do notifications still show on the screen? I'm asking because I've never used it, just always muted my phone.

They can if you turn off the option which blocks it. Look at the settings under "Block visual disturbances".

I don't understand why turning the volume all the down with the rocker turns on vibrate instead of just turning down the volume. DND presents you with a myriad of options that make muting your phone take more steps than necessary. My S7 had DND and I never had to use it, guess why? Turning down the volume actually turned down the volume and nothing else. I could even mute the phone with the screen off or locked so no I shouldn't have to use a "feature" that takes more button presses than necessary.

That's cool you could do that with the screen off. There's a couple simple ways to do DND from the lockscreen. One is double tapping the screen (or press power) and volume down all the way until you get to vibrate then press volume down again to mute which then turns DND on. You can also get out of DND with the volume button too. Someone mentioned this already. Or you can double tap to wake (Or press power), slide down the the notification menu, tap DND toggle. Both are not many steps really and no unlocking necessary.
