So when I have my watch and phone in priority only, I keep getting cards that pop up on my 360. They go away when I set my phone to silent, or, "none." Is there any way to make it so I can put my watch and phone in priority (so I still get alarms) but it won't show cards? I don't want to uncheck show cards in the wear app, because I'd have to re-enable it when turning the volume back up. I don't want cards showing on the face when at work. I want it to just be a watch that i can swipe up to see cards. But when I leave work and the volume is turned up (tasker triggered by location) the cards will display on watch. Thanks for any help!
Anyone? Hate to pry, but I'm fast approaching my return date and if this cant be done, it's going back.

Like I suspect most people, I don’t need my emails downloading while I sleep (or any other data transfer for that matter).
There doesn’t appear to be a ‘night mode’, or whatever you want to call it.
So in the interests of saving the battery, what do people do?
There are three options:
1. Turn off mobile
2. Turn on flight mode
3. Turn off cellular

I leave mine as is, but if I could get into a routine, I would practice the habit of tapping airplane mode.
I let it roll - if I need to be contacted in the middle of the night my phone needs to work (so airplane mode isn't an option). However, what I would like are notification profiles (which I would assume are similar to network profiles in principle, if not in function). I'd like the phone to automatically go into vibrate during a meeting, stop vibration/sound notification for e-mails at 'night,' and change the volume during 'game.'
GProfile
I used to use GProfile when I was using my Fuze with WM 6.5.X and it was great. Still waiting for something like this for WP7.
I suppose the fourth option is to put it on charge? That's what I do but, yeah alright, that doesn't conserve the battery.
The ideal situation would be to allow us to custom define our own profiles and to also differentiate between system (ringtone/notifications) and application (music/games) sound.
Unfortunately, my job dictates that I be on call 24-hrs a day if any of my staff/system crashes need me. So I have to actually turn up the ringer to full every night to assure it wakes me up... ugh...
(no, not in IT)
I updated earlier to 4.4w.2 and it went smoothly but I noticed that my cards don't show up on my watch face when I bring my wrist up to look at them. It pretty much shows just my watch face. I was under the impression that with the new update the cards show up and I can swipe them down for later not not show up at all which isn't good for me cause then Im not sure what I just got at a glance.
Is that how the update makes the watch behave now or did mine get a little screwed?
Try restarting your watch. Worked for me..
I'll give it a go
Mine's been the same way since the update; but I'm not sure either if it's supposed to be that way or if its a bug. I was under the same impression as the OP, that they'd appear by default and you could hide them when needed.
I had issues with no cards and no notifications, and none of the apps would launch. I rebooted my phone and after it came up, then rebooted my watch and now everything is working. The only thing i'm having issues with, it that it keeps putting itself on silent. I'll set it to vibrate and about 2 hours later i'll look down at my watch and see that I had a notification. I go to check the volume and it had put itself on silent. Kind of annoying. Did it both with the 4.4w.1 and the newest update.
Okay I think I figured out a solution to the issue; in my case I just didn't understand what a certain setting in the Android Wear app actually meant. The one that says "Show Cards When Display is Dimmed", has two options: Always Show and Always Hide. Previously, I always chose "Always Hide", and cards would pop up as normal on the home screen clock; but now that's not how it works. Choosing "Always Hide" means cards will never show up on your homescreen clock (and you won't have the option to swipe them up). Choosing "Always Show" on the other hand, gives you the option: a card will pop up on the clock screen as usual, but you can swipe it down to hide it and swipe back up to bring it back. The card will also be reflected when the ambient screen comes on, unless you swipe it down to hide it. Anyway, figuring this out helped my issue so I thought it might be worth mentioning.
Every morning, and sometimes throughout the day, I get this notification telling me how many minutes to work. I haven't set a work location, and I have all settings turned off that I can see in Google, so I'm wondering how I can actually disable this annoying and useless feature.
Anybody know?
You can try and clear the data for Google now and reactivate it. Do you have a home location set?
I'd like to turn off Google now cards showing up on my watch because when I swipe away the weather, I lose card on my phone.

Sounds like there is an update that is coming with Lollipop that will allow you to bring back cards you swiped away. For now, instead of swiping away cards just swipe down to hide them.

Thanks!
View the card in google now on your phone, you can click the 3 dots in the corner of the card to enter the notification option for that particular card and permanently dismiss it.
You can also turn off card preview in android wear settings.
Ok, thanks for the advice. I had already turned the notifications off for that particular card in Google, but for some reason it kept showing. I just clicked it again, so I'll see if it sticks this time.
Android wear 5.o coming soon to solve this issue

In the android wear app there is a setting to turn off cards. I assume this means when I get a notification (text, hangout message, etc) it will not show automatically and cover my screen. This doesn't appear to work for me as when I have it turned off, my watch still lights up and the notification card is there. Am I missing something?
I have an Asus Zenwatch (1st generation) running Android OS 5.1.1 and Android Wear 1.3.0.2160025 and I have it connected to my Google Nexus 6P. I assume this is the latest version available for the Zenwatch as when I try and update the software it advises me I am up to date.
One of the great things I love about Android Wear and the Zenwatch is the ability for me to pull down the notifications menu and change from no notifications, to priority notifications, to all notifications.
I normally keep notifications set at no most of the time and change it to priority when I'm out with friends etc. However, notifications do not stay on the setting I define.
Every day I set notifications to no and then I will hear it vibrating when I get a new whatsapp notification and when I check the watch notifications are set to all; despite the fact I never changed anything.
Has anyone else experienced this?
My first thought was that my clothes were touching the screen and pulling the menu down, however I have tried moving my wrist around in many different ways and my clothes never change the screen at all. Which leads me to believe it's software related.
I think the setting is tied into the quiet or priority mode settings on the phone. That is, if you set priority mode on the watch, it also sets it on the phone, and vice versa. Would that explain the behavior you're seeing? You set priority mode on the watch, and later un-set it on the phone (and thus on the watch, too)?

Thanks for the response CSX.
I changes the notification settings on the watch but nothing changed on the phone and vice versa.
I had been charging it there and it was set to no and when I checked it again it was set to all. So it is definitely a software or settings issue as its changing on its own afford when the phone is stationary.
Has anyone found a solution to this? It's very annoying and discouraging me from ever wearing it. I want notifications off the majority of the time, but whatever I do, they remain active.
Change default settings or watch setting to do not disturb.........

I have done that. That is the problem. I change it to do not disturb and a few minutes later it vibrates because of a new notification and it has changed back to all notifications. It does this all the time, even when the phone is idle on my computer desk.
