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 ...

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.

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.

Just got a Zenwatch and the vibration works, but it is a very quick single vibration for notifications such as texts or emails. Its very easy to miss. Is this normal?

I can see that being an issue if you wear your watch loosely.
I am hoping that developers will soon build some apps that will allow custom pattern and repeating notifications. I have found couple of apps that come close but need a bit of Android Wear tweaking. Definitely an app I would be willing to spend a few bucks for.
I feel it's too weak, as well. But after having mine for almost a month now, I've grown accustomed to it and don't miss nearly as many notifications as I did when I first got it. But I still miss some now & then, unfortunately. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a software update or possibly a third party app might give the option to increase vibration strength
I think that this app with a bit of Android Wear love and maybe some customizable vibration options might be the ticket. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.intoorbit.renotify
Feel free to join me in trying to convince the developer to go for it.
I used to use the Augmented Smartwatch app with my old Sony, and it had the ability to customize the vibrations there. It also has some Wear support, so I need to investigate and see if it can also do that for Wear devices.
There are a few devs that are working on various ways to augment and repeat notifications. A perfect solution for many individual use cases are not far away.
Here are some of the apps I've been toying with. Note: some don't prominently feature Wear support but all have it in one way or another:
Vibration Notifier fairly simple and elegant. Supports virtually any app in your device. Doesn't add additional visual notifications on the phone or the watch which is nice.
Light Flow a powerful app that is designed primarily for notifications via the LED but the developer is currently working on full wear integration and should be releasing that in the next few weeks.
eNotify designed for custom notifications of email and SMS down to the level of different notifications for different contacts. Very customizable but daunting with so many options and settings.
I use Tasker to add vibrations/custom notifications for stuff I need it for. 3000,3000,3000,3000,3000,3000,3000,3000,3000,3000 as vibration pattern for example wont go by un-noticed!

Can you also make those notifications repeat every x minutes or until the notification is cleared?
The vibration seems very strong to me, I've never had an issue and if it was stronger it would be bone rattling. No offense but are you guys that are having trouble feeling it larger people?

Haha, I weigh 114lbs and have tiny wrists. But I don't think the vibrations is THAT strong. They're really short at least. Making them longer or giving them patterns makes them much more handy for my use.
I like Vibration Notifier on the market. It lets you set a vibration alert to repeatedly go off at a given interval for notifications until you clear them. It also lets you set the length of the vibration pulse.
Hi,
I have just added a "make notifications vibration stronger" in last SWApp Launcher Wear version:

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.

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. Anyone can help me ? regards

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.
Updated to wear 2 last night. I get all notifications on the watch no problem but if I don't look it at the notification right away there is NOTHING on the watch screen to tell me that I have unread notifications.
So I basically have no idea if I have texts unless I swipe up from the bottom to check. THIS SUCKS if that's how wear 2 handles missed notifications.
Can someone confirm? Wear 1.5 used to leave a bit of the notification at the bottom of the watch as a reminder that there are some.
Note: I have my notification set to High (Always show) but nope, not always showing.
If you go into (Settings -> Sound & notifications -> Notification previews) you can set it to High so notifications stay on screen.

On the dev preview, it behaved just like you describe-notifications vanishing even when set to high.
On final 2.0, well, it is broken too Sometimes notifications stays on screen..it is in full screen ambient, showing the content of notification, with small time at the top. But sometimes, it just vanishes

Going to rescind my last post. Sometimes the notification will stay, sometimes it won't. Might be when I get multiple notifications, but not really seeing the pattern yet. Not having a "nag" to the notification is wildly frustrating. If I check (down swipe), the notification are there. But that means I have to check.

No. Swipe up on your watchface to see whatever notifications may be waiting for you, as you mentioned in the OP. Not as convenient as them just being there, but more convenient than taking out your phone.

How is that better than how it was on n 1.5? The idea of a smart watch is to see notifications at a glance and not having to check manually every time. I might as well do that on the phone then. This is beyond frustrating to me.

It's not. Most the apps I use are mainstream and well-supported, so the setting to always display notifications works for me in most cases. I suspect that as app authors get around to updating their apps to the new 2.0 standard, most others will work as well.

Well the frakking problem is, they had 1 year to do that thanks to devprev, but after all that time, whole 2.0 seems like it has just been created.
I'm not sure why others are having issues with notifications. On my HW1 that I upgraded from 1.5 to 2.0. I am NOT set to High and if I have notifications that I missed, there is a small white dot at the bottom of the screen telling me I have notifications. Works with all my apps that allow on my watch.

I'm not wearing the watch today at work. Wearing job-issued iWatch, but will try to send it when I get home tonight. I don't have any special apps. The only app I use is Feel the Wear to have select notifications (GMail) use an audible tone, when I get a new GMail. Otherwise, my notifications vibrate when I'm wearing the watch for select others. This dot is the same as I see on my LG Watch Sport, which I rarely wear -- too damn big.

No notifications here, either, despite being set to high. There are supposed to be dots....thought I just might be not seeing it or something... A few lines down to the below noted link - on Google's own site - alludes to said dots that I have yet to see appear on my Huawei.

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
If not working for your phone, I'll suggest you to send me logs at [email protected]
To use it:
Install App.
Disable any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Give full screen permission(if any required for your phone)
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
Thats it.
For MIUI 11 devices make sure that AutoStart is enabled in App Info. Also check "Show on lock screen" permission in other settings.
Settings image: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1yxrLd5u7kLSGBwviKhXYqM21YLC8Dhiv
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen or use power button.

What about System Apps (Phone, message etc.) ? I'm not able to find them in your app.
Gmail is missing as well and it is not a system app.

What about System Apps (Phone, message etc.) ? I'm not able to find them in your app.
Gmail is missing as well and it is not a system app.
Thanks in advance!

Same here. Also, an off switch for each app would be more convenient instead of picking white colour.
This is just what I needed, works great on my phone. Thank you!
I would consider using this if and when you include system apps. They are the only ones I'm interested in getting notifications from. Thanks for your efforts
Fantastic
Brilliant
Go work for 1+
Show them how to do the job properly
Great start!! works like a charm, agree on the systems apps thing though..
Wow, Great App.:good:
Works Perfect.

@HarshBoy99 Hello! Thank you for the job you''re doing, but if you don't mind, i would like to point some important things.
You'r app uses a black overlay with a colorized dot in the corner, it's cool but there is a but. If The device is in a pocket, and you're using a pocket detection, the screen will turn on and show the pocket detection screen - what kinda annoying issue.
Another moment, again - becauses there is a use of black overlay, when there is already a notification panding and you recieve anothere on, there is a head-up notification with the all status bar info that shows up, again - kinda annoying.
As a recommandation - trigger the built-in AOD app instead of using a black overlay, that will fix the issues i've mentioned above + there will be an option to use fingerprint scanner on notifications.
Wish you the best!

Well I have included pocket detection in app, i.e if the LED is on and the sensor is covered the activity will be stopped. But if you have pocket mode on, it will show you the pocket mode screen for a brief moment and then switch off the display. This will help save battery if phone is in your pocket.
Yeah on that heads-up notification, I haven't found a way to get rid of this but it is only an issue of few seconds.
There are already many apps that bring on the default AOD display but it doesn't feel like an actual LED and moreover we can't change the appearance of AOD as it is a system app.
Thank You!
I wish there is an more option for WhatsApp. I do not want to receive LED from the Watsp group
Thanks

Thanks for the app.
I have a problem in my op6t.
When i use the app and the notification led is on, the unlock button does not works well, i mean, i have to push three or four times.
Sorry about my english, i hope you can understand me. ?
@HarshBoy99
Power button does not wake phone when I receive any app notifications.

I have been using the app for some days now. I have also locked the app in recents to avoid it being killed or stop functioning. But when I get a notification, double tapping doesn't work instantly. Have to tap 4 times at least. Also, on unlocking the phone, I am in the Notify Buddy app instead.
App is great if you don't mind me offering suggestions I have a couple.
The light to move around in intervals across the top of the screen or even the two corners just to prevent possible burn in, say if you get a notification in the middle of the night or something and it blinks for hours on end (I know the chances are slim, but better to be safe than sorry)
Possibly an option to cycle the notification light if you have multiple notifications, so if I have a sms text and a messenger text it would blink once for the sms and once for messenger and cycle between them so I know I have 2 notifications.
An interval setting maybe how fast or slow for it to pulse or to keep it static. (If you choose to make it static warn it could possibly cause burn in)
If it's possible a way to keep the overlay active unless the notification is gone, I tested the app sending myself an sms text just to make sure everything was working I left the notification and the overlay didn't go back to the LED the screen just stayed black. If I'm not mistaken an actual notification light would stay active until the notification for said app was cleared.
That's all I really have for suggestions, I appreciate what you're doing with this app it's honestly the best alternative to any of the apps attempting to replicate a notification LED. I don't want you to think I don't like the app I'm just thinking of how my old phones with notification LED's behaved with notifications. Again thank you for your work and I hope my suggestions were something that could be of use.
Other then waking the phone this app is bloody great ?

Well this was exactly how I wanted for my app to function, but while testing it myself I observed that I had pending notification almost always and it would drain the battery exponentially. Therefore I went with notifying the user only while he is away from phone.
