I have been searching around for this for a while but I couldn't find a very clear answer to this.
The haptic feedback vibration on the phone, is soo soft, at first I thought it didn't vibrate when I was typing, but later I really felt it very lightly. Yhe vibration is very light in general imo, but it's acceptable, but with haptic feedback this is just too light lol.
Now the straight question: Is there a way to increase the vibration for haptic feedback?
I have already tried Kickback, and I like that vibration level, but it works on anything except the keyboard >.> Tried it with and without the system default haptic feedback options on and off.
I haven't seen an option. I miss a lot of calls when my phone is on vibrate. They probably kept it low to give gamers more battery time.
with the vibration thing, you know personally i dont use haptic feedback as i believe the feature will only add to the processes already eating the battery.. with your statments i presume you only want the feedback or vibrations when typing. you might as well try Smart Keyboard Pro from the market. It has a vibration feature for every key you press and the vibration length is adjustable too! at least the vibration feature will only work when typing and not all the time when you do something else with your phone aside from typing. saves battery!
No, he/she wants the vibrating to be stronger so he/she can feel it.
He is referring to when he is typing on the keyboard. Not when someone calls. Grab swift key keyboard, stock does not let you alter the level of. Vibratiob

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm gonna fool a bit around with keyboards from the market
Wasn't referring to your post. It was meant for the person above yours. Should you have quoted and not be lazy.

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

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.

Just select the days you would in alarm setup, do not check saturday and sunday
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.

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:

I use Sleep as Android and it'll do exactly what you're looking for - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en
I've got mine set up to just buzz my watch first, then a failsafe that goes off on my watch and phone.
Ooooo looks brilliant!!! Do all the other features like sleep tracking etc drain the battery much then?

It used to drain your battery totally, but dev recently got it working excellent instead.
Now our sw3 is one of the most battery efficient watch
To run the app on, battery "drains" around 17% over night, which is great since it various sensors are being used.
Regarding vibration on the watch in general: I think it's as easy as, if an app generates vibration alerts on your phone, it'll generate these on the watch too.

I just got the SW3 yesterday. I'm trying to get my alarms to sync, found this an tried Sleep as Android. However, it seems no matter what settings I use, my watch only buzzes once very briefly for the alarm while it goes off as normal on my phone. As if just a notification that an alarm is going off. Is this just how it works? Any ideas?
I followed the "instruction" chapter on wearables to enable Smartwatch in the app and enabled the vibration (Smartwatch) from start option, but I can't find any other real set up options or instructions.

I made two alarms - One with the phone vibrating / making noise, and the watch vibrating, then one set ~5 min before that, set to silent, and disabled vibration (so the phone does nothing), and set the Vibrate (Smartwatch) to "From start" as well.
When the first alarm goes off, mine buzzes once briefly at the time of the alarm, and then once again maybe 30 seconds later, then it starts getting more frequent after that. When I just went to check what my settings were, I also noticed there's an option to start the watch vibration "before" the alarm - though I'm not sure how much before the alarm "before" is, since it doesn't seem to be configurable, but that may alleviate my use of two alarms.
Hope that helps!

now u can install on any android and the alarm appear on smartwatch , to dismiss or postpone

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.

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.
