Not sure what has happened but my Moto 360 has decide it no longer wants to vibrate. Its not on mute nor has my phone changed at all. Anyone have any ideas or should I contact Moto for replacement?
Have also tried resetting watch
Mods please delete

Note: my phone is usually in silent mode (only vibrates for all notifications).
When I am in a phone call and someone texts me, the phone is not vibrating to let me know I have received a text. My Evo did this, and it is a great way to be notified while in a phone call. Wish I could get this phone to do the same thing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on any settings, apps, mods, etc. to change this?

I had this same problem with other Samsung phones. My moment never notified me audibly while I was in-call, either, until I applied a ROM that took the SMS app from some US Cellular phone.
Try Go SMS, it has options for audible or vibrate notifications... It will even allow you to customize the vibrate pattern if you like.
Did you try setting vibrate to always?
I keep my phone on vibrate, and I could've swore when I first setup the 360, everything worked fine. Now it seems I get no watch vibration unless the phone volume is up. I did research on here, and it seems like that is how it is designed to work, but it makes no sense to me. One of the reasons I loved the Gear 2 was that I could have the phone completely silent, yet still get everything on the watch, thus not bothering anyone @ work. I've already paired/unpaired/reset the watch, etc, but no success.
Do I really have to make a silent ringtone to make this work?

What are the chances that you've swiped down on the watch and changed the notifications to mute?
My watch vibrates on notifications, regardless of whether my phone is on silent or not.
I know about swiping down for mute, but that isn't it.
As a test, I sent a text from another phone to mine, with it on vibrate. No notification on the watch. Sent another text with my phone volume up to the first level after vibrate, got it on the watch with no problem. I then sent another text, with my phone on silent, no notification on the watch.
Other forums are reporting this as well, but I have yet to see a solution.
FWIW, my phone is a Sprint LG G3.

Any chance you're using the Google launcher with Google Now always listening on?
Hmmm...I really don't know. I'm using the stock G3 interface on the phone, if that makes any difference.
Anyone know how to get the screen back that I saw at set up about how long the vibration would go for? Also, Is there a way to increase intensity on this watch?

Download the app, 'Feel the Wear' by Martin Florek. Allows you to customize your vibrations.
As for intensity. Not possible to alter. That is a hardware fix. But with the app, you can make the vibration last longer than normal, making it more obvious when a notification comes in.
Does anyone find that the vibration is noisy?
I don't know if this is my unit but when it vibrates in a silent room it's audible from a few meters. Vibration strengh is definitely weaker than my 1st gen moto 360.
If it's my unit, I'll ask for a replacement coz I barely feel the vibration.

It's like that for everyone. I have the mesh band which helps since it is metal and can be worn tighter than the link band.
Thanks. IMO the first purpose of a smartwatch is to make sure you get notifications. Therefore I decided to send it back as it was a deal breaker for me. Too bad...really liked the design (black stainless steel )
Vibrator is VERY noisy, I was surprised.
thanks all.

I tried that feel the wear and it tears through battery, but after wearing a watch, which I have not done since mobile became a thing, I find I look at the watch often enough to catch anything I did not feel so I'm good. It's so nice to only pull my phone out to pay for things, now I wait until my phone replaces my keys and eventually the watch can do all that the phone can, pay for things and unlock doors and start cars.
It seems that "Feel The Wear" doesn't show the notification card, it only vibrates. Does anybody have it work with the card popping-up at the same time as the vibration? Or anybody had the same problem and got a solution?
Axello
I have very weak vibrations too, and it is very annoying.
The purpose of the watch is to notify me of appointments, emails and calls.
"Feel the Wear" ..... I am not sure what it does if anything.
If does not have very good documentation.
Change the pattern, length of vibrations how ??? "Feel the Wear" does not say.
There is a list of 100 or so applications .... I am supposed to manually edit them and which ones.

Thanks for the tip !!
Why is the vibration so loud lol. I just got the watch yesterday. I wore it to work today and I got three notifications at once and it was way too loud in a silent room. Kinda embarrassing loud. I love this watch but hate the vibrate. I see people have asked this question but I didn't see a solid answer besides rooting it and installing a custom kernel. Is there a way to turn off all vibrations for the watch on a global level? I can live without vibrations but I need notifications.
i dont know what happened. since the update to 1.5, sothing strange is hapening to watch. suddenly begins to to vibrate then stop, the begin again without any reason. dont know if it´s a watch problem, firmware problem... it´s not a constant vibration.. i can not explain exactly.

I had that issue since unboxing on July 17th, but not since a factory reset because I unpaired my phone within the watch's settings. I did not connect it to Bluetooth only through android wear and it's working great. I guess I can't make calls but I don't mind. It's working great now.

I have another type of issue. From time to time watch stops vibrating at all and start vibrating again without a reason. I cannot see any behavior pattern in it, but they don't vibrate even in process of loading after reboot. Is it hardware problem? I've tried "Feel the wear" app - no effect, watch just not vibrate when I press "try" button.
update: It starts work after I hardly shake my wrist and work for a hour or two.
my T-mobile galaxy s20 just start vibrating randomly without showing any notifications. Vibration pattern is also not normal. I use long continuous buzz for my notifications but whenever "phantom" vibration happens, it vibrates with few short buzz. I Googled it up, and didn't see anything related to galaxy s20. Just installed an app called nice catch from http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.app.goodcatch
It happened one time after I installed the app. Even that app didn't log the "phantom" vibration.
I am wondering am I the only one having this issue?
I'm not sure this would help, but i haven't experience this yet ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.globaleffect.notiplus&hl=en_US this is nice to have incase of missing notifications. Sometimes a phatom virbate could be a voicemail or something else.
Hi, I have a little problem
My bottom speaker doesn't work, no vibration and the microphone doesn't work but when I camera video it works ..
The last problem is hard to try, like if it's off, this sign appears when I load it.
I'm new here and I'm not an expert, maybe someone could relate or knows how to fix these problems.
I want the "do not interrupt" mode to vibrate with the contacts that I put in exceptions, the ones that can interrupt when the mode is activated, does anyone know how to do that?
My moto g20 is new, I got it for xmas. My previous phone was a Samsung J5 Prime, and its "do not disturb mode" worked better, because it has more options, this mode on the moto G20 mute everything, and the contacts or apps that you allow to "interrupt" they can, but they don't make any sound or vibration.
And I think there is a bug that makes applications disappear from my home screen. I happened with google maps, I put it back and then there were two google maps on my home screen, maybe I'm crazy but maybe someone noticed this.
Also, the navigation buttons animations are kinda bugged, like, you press it once and the animation of pressing it does not end consistenly or properly (image attached, the animation freezes like that until a new input get registered), how do I fix these two bugs?
I uninstalled bloatware with ADB the first second I turned on the phone, maybe this is causing me problems?
Also, what blows my mind is that my older phone has better options that this brand new phohe released recently, it has no themes or icons customization, lintern brightness levels, and insensity or vibration patterns options, my previous phone did.
Sorry for the long text, I searched all the web but find nothing, because is a new phone. Also I contacted to Motorola support and has no response yet, neither from the motorola forums.
