I received my beautiful Moto360 a week ago,since then I loved it.
I'm less like to use my phone outside,of course I'll make calls from it I can read all of my mails,whatsapp messages, calendar events. It's very very usefull and fast. At the beginning, I don't think this watches can help me at my normal life,but it seems that it's helping a lot. I really don't have to use phone for small things, watch vibrates gently and you can read notifications anytime
Also I don't have any battery problems with it, my phone and watch ( always on mode off because it's useless) can survive a full day with 3g connection. That's enough for me, I don't have any screen problems,screen looks gorgeous. I dont notice any crack yet but I dont think there will be any watch seems ok and I just saw survey about cracks and it's low rate ( thankfully)
I'm open to any question about this awesome watch.
Hi, can you reply to notification from whatsapp message directly from the Moto 360 ?

You can reply with preload answers like "yes", "no", "I'm on the way". Or you can reply with your voice
With which phone you use it? Is it possible to use with every device(or at least every with 4.x + Android)?
Does it feel as good as it looks?^^

Just to add on, to reply with pre-loaded answers you'll need to swipe up from the voice screen. It took me a while to figure that out. Hope this helps.

Hi... it's me agian... with my new Omnia 7... is there a way to have both the ringtone and vibration going on at the same time?... sorry for my english,.. i'll try to explain it better: right now when someone calls me the vibration starts for few seconds, then stops and the ringtone starts (without vibration).
Is there a way to have them both forever and ever (happily ever after)???
at present, no. maybe best to bring this up on social.microsoft.com, or check there to see if someone has already asked (as i think it has been asked here before as well).
I'm a bit disappointed right now...

Has it made you miss any calls, that's the important thing. Personally I've not missed any.

As a matter of fact, it has indeed! When I'm in a loud area and my phone is in pocket, I can't feel the vibration because it's too short and the sound because of the loudness.. You will say:"keep it in vibration mode" but then I would have to replay " I spent 500€ for this thing I'd like it to do at least the basics"... Then you would say: "why did you buy it in the first place, then?!.." ...and we will go on and on and on.... :-D
Probably (hopefully) a really stupid question with a simple answer, but I have one annoyance left with my HTC One X. I use the calendar function a lot and so whenever a reminder pops up, which I dismiss, it then open up a separate screen asking me if I want to create a note. My issues with this is:
1) I cannot understand why, when I've been reminded of a meeting or task to perform, I would want to create a note on it? Why does this feature exist.
2) How can I disable this?
I've been putting up with this since Feb, but no more, so hopefully some bright spark on here can enlighten me :fingers-crossed:
Thanks

I have a similar problem, have you experienced the Reminder coming up, and now matter how much you "Dismiss" it, it'll just pop straight back up, you experienced that?

Very annoying mate, the only way to dismiss it, is either go onto the computer at work, and dismiss it their on Outlook, or to unlock the phone, dismiss it about 50 times and close the notification etc, then it decides whether to go or not !

There is this general conception of how Bluetooth kills battery and how you shouldn't leave it on.The Mi band is the only device that doesn't kill your battery at all(I mean it literally) and has amazing battery life. I've had it for a week and it's gone from 63-44%.It's battery life is fantastic.No matter the device you have, if it has Android 4.4+ and Bluetooth 4.0+ then it shouldn't drain your battery.It's connection is completely over Bluetooth LE in such a way that the Bluetooth settings show no device connected but it can be found using the app.This means it's using just the Bluetooth LE code introduced by Google with 4.3.So Don't ask about Bluetooth on blahblah.....It does nothing to your battery.

-No probs at all.I use it with my G2.I'll be switching roms to check but flawless on AOSP 4.4.
-It's connected to bluetooth all the time but it is completely LE unlike anything I've seen before.It doesn't show up in bluetooth devices and only its app detects it.Also the bluetooth icon shows bluetooth on but not connected unlike with a speaker or headset.This means it really almost never affects battery life as I noticed for the past 72hrs and that the connection is not active but completely on bluetooth LE.Syncing is done when u open the app without any pain.
-Call time vib is 3secs because it may need time to connect the band and send the vibration command depending on where you are.This is convenient if you go lets say to a store.It disconnects but as soon as u get back home say u have a call.Because the band doesn't need to be connected to ur phone all the time(power saving) it reconnects within the 3 secs and vibrates.But it's almost instant.Open an app on your device afresh and that's how long it takes.
Superbia said:
What does it mean when it shows 3 leds and vibrates? Also, I saw something about being able to check my progress in daily goal via the leds how do I do that? I seem some places claiming it can vibrate for notifications, I only got mine to vibrate on missed calls, can I get it to work for sms or other notifications too?

The LEDs light up for calls,when ur close to ur goal(with 2LEDs) and when u reach your goal(3).Also for alarms,finding your miband and low battery(never had this yet).For notifications nothing yet.Vibs are only for calls.I wish someone would make an app for this notifications and LEDs changing with various notifications(it's a multicolor LED) for the mi band.It's only for calls for now.But it's xiaomi.That option may come.I got a firmware update when I installed the official app so yeah they do updates.This was obviously downloaded on the phone and pushed over and it took 20secs or so.
tomlock said:
I forgot to ask. What's the maximum distance between the phone and band? At home If you go to another room, is the Mi Band still able to connect?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You never know if it is connected(only if u have the app opened) because it doesn't have to be every time.The band records data and when ur close it syncs when the app is open.The battery truely last long.It's on 51% from 63% after 4 days of intensive use.Also come on dude 10m is the maximum for bluetooth so don't expect magic here.

First of all, thank you for the AMA!
I would also have a couple of questions:
1. How does the vibrating alarm work? Does it wait this it senses movement in the half hour before the set time and wakes you then or it begins to vibrate at the set time?
2. Does this function work even if the phones Bluetooth is turned of? (are the alarms transferred to the band and the it can be independent)
3. How accurate do you consider the sleep/motion tracking to be?
Thank you
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Good second question.
1.It works well.I didn't quite get it's smart alarm feature yet but if you set an alarm it vibrates 4 times on your wrist at the time of the alarm.I set two simultaneously as i find it hard to get up in the morning.The smart alarm says it can get you up in a 30mins range from the time you set the alarm so maybe when it detects light sleep during 30mins from the set time it will get you up.That's the only hit or miss feature but you don't need smart alarms just do a regular one.
2.It is a transfered alarm unfortunately.During my testing I noticed the mi band stores only motion and its app translates it into steps,run,sleep,blabla....Alarms and call vibrations are all triggered from the phone so if your phone is off you would not get up in the morning.Buetooth off is not allowed.
3.The motion tracking is good it does a nice job at not counting steps when using your "mi band hand" like during eating or typing or even closing your mouth when you cough(don't put it on your active hand though,all fitness trackers advice this for more accuracy).It's accurate and on par with the best fitness tracking tech available.It's not like S health or LG health that can give you 100 steps just for shaking your phone.The sleep tracking is magical.It works so well for me.Detects when I'm about to sleep,in deep sleep,light sleep,get up at night,wake up time...It does all that so well and if it is off maybe just by one minute or two and seldom happens.The sleep tracking is a winner.Well the only thing is you get info on your sleep but how to make it better is up to you.

No.I've tried myself.It is completely over bluetooth LE even while syncing.Only miui detects it.I guess a dev will have to start from there to get the "universal" detection part working(ripping the files and porting).

You told a few post ago that you are left-handed (like me) and you wear Mi Band on your left wrist. I'd like to know why you are using Mi Band that way. It seems logical for me to wear it on the right wrist so you avoid movements like drinking water, using the computer mouse and so and just monitor movements related to walking, running, etc. I'm not sure if my logic is flaw. What do you think? Also I'm not sure if Xiaomi recommends anything about it.
Thank you very much.

I'm L&R handed but it is configurable for left or right hand use in the settings.You have to use it on your less active hand.It does a good job at not counting steps unnecessarily(using a mouse,greeting some one,typing .....).I've not seen it miscount like that yet.I'll post a video review here soon.Stay posted.

At most 10 secs after long disconnection but usually around 5 sometimes less.I started taking a shower with mine everyday.No issues.Water resistance is great.I play tennis too and sweat alot.2 vibs with many LEDs for goals,3 with on blue LED for calls,5times no LED for alarms.

I can connect and sync from maybe 2-3 meters but for using it to unlock the phone it's just a few 10's of cm. For example, I am left-handed and have the mi band on my left wrist, if I hold the phone normally in my right hand it won't unlock, but if I move it too my left hand it will.

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with my 360 and I could use some help. I asked this question before but got no responses so I am going to try to reword it in an effort to get a better response.
When you are "in call", meaning AFTER you have received and accepted a call, either from the watch or from the phone, what is displayed on your 360's screen?
What is displayed after you hang up the call? I'm particularly interested in behavior when the watch is sitting in the charger as well.
Please help; I am trying to determine if there is an issue with my watch and what is the default behavior. I have other issues with this particular watch and I am trying to make a case fro replacement with Moto.

When I receive a call, and answer from my 360, the watch goes back to my watchface. Hanging up doesn't change anything on my watch.

Yeah mine just goes back to the watchface when I'm in call whether I answer on my phone or watch.

I do.
I thought maybe it was Keep so I uninstalled it but it made no difference. I finally got a chance to grab a screenshot of what I'm seeing. (Caller name is intentionally pixelated for privacy). Have you ever seen this? I don't have anything installed that should provide note taking support (except Keep, which was uninstalled at the time I took the screen shot). If I don't manually swipe this away, it will be on screen until I do, even when it is in the charger and I'm not wearing it - and it stays on screen at full brightness too.
Weird. And I'm beginning to feel like the only one now!
I have just bought a Huawei watch GT2 using with my Huawei honor note 8.
I get trouble with notifications system of the watch. I just receive notifications with vibration at first on the watch. But after a while there a no vibrations at all and no messeges on screen neither. Inspite of that I still can see messeges in Notifications by press the upper button. As I know, many people get this trouble.
And more, GT2 is too LAG. I am very very disappointed with it.
i think u need to factory reset your watch and reinstall the huawei health.

Again? ok - I have the same problem.
Although when I first had it, it was a different problem. I had it go from 60 to 0 battery in about 3 hours. I was very disappointed. So I reset and now am getting great battery life - over a week already, but I have the same lack of notifications as punter above. Especially disappointing, as I rock a Mate20x.
Still, I am happy enough and would put up with no notifications, as it does the four things I most crave. Long battery (at least now), count my steps, tell the time, and count my swim laps.
however, I will go ahead and factory reset and re-install the app now... bugger - I guess I will lose my swim data. damn!
