Hello!
Just got the 360, curious if there is a way to limit vibrations to the watch only and not my phone. I had the pebble and it would only vibrate when I wanted it to, but the 360 seems to vibrate when the app is set to vibrate.
So if I want my texting app to be silent on my phone, but vibrate on the 360, is this not attainable?
Thanks for any ideas!
So you the only vibrations you want to get are the ones on your watch? No vibration on your phone?
There is a option in the Android Wear app for your phone, on the top right you have the settings button and there you can set this option.

I am using my 360 with a Galaxy Note 3. What I have found is that ONLY if the phone actually is set to make a physical sound, does the watch vibrate. For example, my email is set to vibrate only my phone. I do this because I get quite a lot of emails and don't want the phone beeping all the time...vibrate is sufficient. But then the watch gets the alert but does not vibrate. Only if I set the email app to make a sound does the watch vibrate.
Surely this is a bug? If the phone makes a sound OR vibrates, the watch should vibrate?
It's not a bug. As far as I know, the moto360 will currently only vibrate when your phone has ringer(ringtone/notification sound) enabled. Mine doesn't vibrate at all if the phone is on vibrate.

It may well be the current design, but if that is the case it's stupid! Why wouldn't you want the watch to vibrate if the phone vibrates?!

I agree with you. It's completely stupid. I came searching for an answer when my Moto 360 didn't vibrate with my Note 2, and I found this thread. I want the watch to notify me of a message or whatever the notification may be instead of the phone. This seems like an easy thing to make an option and I'm unsure how they missed the boat on this one.
I was also wondering why the watch was not vibrating. I have 99% of my notices sent to silent, no vibrate and just flash the LED indicator (I'm using PA on a Samsung Galaxy S3). I then stumbled across this thread and found my answer. I had to change the notifications in the various apps to vibrate and then the watch vibrates.
This seems quite silly to me. I don't want my phone to vibrate, I just want the watch to vibrate. One would think (hope) that you'll be able to set the watch/wear vibrate notifications independent of the phone notifications in a future upgrade.

i don't have mine to vibrate at different notifications, but rather, my phone is set on vibrate basically 24/7.
my watch vibrates when i get notifications that only vibrate my phone.

in android wear settings, there's a setting regarding when your phone is on silent, you can select it to either mute both phone and watch or just vibrate the watch

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. I'll be interested in seeing what it does tonight in the charging cradle. Really don't want that buzzing/vibrating all night.

I have a Moto X, and my 360 vibrates regardless of sound or vibrate mode on my phone.
Kind of makes sense that Moto works best with Moto.
I ended up having to go back to the alert on both option. With it set on wear only it mutes the phone, which is not what I want.

Maybe my notifications would make noise if I didn't have my phone on vibrate all the time I don't know... But since I don't keep my phone in a purse I don't need a loud noise to realize a call is coming in

Where is this setting?? I keep my phone on vibrate all the time, and my Fit vibrates with each notification. This "smart" watch doesn't seem to do that...
Thanks
Has anyone else updated their phone past 5.0 and their watch past 5.0 only to find the thing next to useless now? Let me explain.
In 4.x I could have my phone set to silent while my watch would subtly vibrate for notifications, great for at work or anywhere you don't want the loud vibrate of your phone going off but still want to be notified of things.
After updating my Moto X to 5.x and my Moto 360 to 5.x the notification setting on the watch reflects whatever the setting is on the device. Why in the Hell would this be desired functionality? It would be one thing if the Moto X could be told to be in All Notifications mode (not Priority or None) and have vibrate turned off, but sadly theres NO option to disable vibrate.
If I have the Moto X set to All but the volume all the way down, it and my watch will vibrate for every notification.
If I have the Moto X set to All and Android Wear set to "silence connected Android" it functions just like the above.
If I have the Moto X set to Priority, same thing, both it and my watch vibrate for every notification.
If I have the Moto X set to None then both my phone and watch never notify me of anything.
Is there any way at all to have my phone be SILENT, completely silent, and have the watch vibrate?
Does this drive anyone else crazy?

Because they took away one of the main features? Notifications on your wrist while your phone is silent.

For me, in the Android Wear app, click the gear icon, and enable the "Mute phone alerts & calls" checkbox.
"Mute calls and notifications on this phone while it's connected to your watch."

There should be a quick toggle in our notification shades for a setting like this......
Mod developers... get to work!
*please*
My phone is on silent all the time with notification muted while connected to the watch. My watch tickles my wrist and my phone does nothing. Maybe you missed something
In the wear app, gear, toggle "Mute phone alerts & calls" (mute calls and notifications on this phone while it's connected to your watch)
Then priority or all only control what buzzes you, not the volume.
@thebobmannh pointed this out above
Can somebody help me on doing that on v5.0?
Like 4.3 or 4.4, I just want to silent my phone completely and vibrate mode on my Moto 360?
Hello.
I upgraded my phone to Lollipop and I want to learn,
How to Make Phone Silent, Moto 360 Vibrate?
On 4.3 or 4.4, we can do that but on 5, I can't find it.
Unfortunately, mute connected phone option does not work in android 5
The only workaround so far is to use a program like tasker or trigger to silence the phone when
connected to moto 360
Yes, mute connected phone option does work in android 5. Go into the Android Wear app, click the settings, then you will see the Mute phone alerts and calls option, that will make it so your phone doesn't vibrate/make noise and your watch will vibrate.
Is there any way (with or without root) to fix these idiotic sound settings?
If I set the device to silent it goes into Do Not Disturb mode which also stops me from getting ANY notifications on my Gear Fit 2 or other smart watches.
I want to get all of my notifications just like when the phone is in vibrate mode but I don't want it to vibrate. The vibration mechanism in this phone is super low quality and vibrates so loud on my work desk. Looking for a way to set the device to silent without turning on DND. I want notifications but no vibration.
Any ideas?
So I've had my watch on silent for months. No issues. Notifications come through , the watch just vibrates. No "sound " alert
Today , notifications stop working. Cannot work out why. Turn the volume up a notch and they start coming through. Go back to silent, stops them
This hasn't happened until now ...surely you can choose to just have the watch vibrate for notifications??
