Hello everyone!
I have bought a SWR50 a few days ago to replace a SRW10 that I lost since I thought it would be a nice upgrade.
The most important feature for me is the silent alarms (I get up way much earlier than my partner). But the problem is that the vibration of the alarm is really noisy (you can hear the buzz from far)
Is there a way to reduce the vibration strength?
I have also tried Sleep As Android that vivrates gently a few times before going full strength. But it is so difficult to dismiss that It always goes full speed before I manage to stop it.
Also other tips about alarm apps would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
I am not sure if that is what is eating my battery so fast but I cannot find where you can change the vibration mode from a really long one that it is now to a shorter vibration time.
Any help please?
Also, any other ideas on how to preserve battery life?
I am using stock 6.5 ROM with SPB Shell.
If your phone is really vibrating so much that it is significantly draining its battery life something is way wrong. Not sure what the issue is but I'll just throw this in for good measure.

This app allows you to control the length of vibration on certain events, such as tapping on screen keyboard buttons. But far as I know it has no control over other vibration events such as incoming phone calls and notifications.
I had a Fitbit Flex as my silent alarm which worked really well until the strap broke and I got fed up being unable to changed alarms when the Fitbit server went down! So I got my new Smartwatch 3 yesterday and found out the out of the box alarm doesn't work in theatre/cinema mode. Bit of an oversight there Google!
So is anyone using this watch to get them up in the mornings?
I tried AlarmClock Extended which seemed to work last night when I tested it after setting up the watch, but the vibrating alarm didn't go off this morning until I turned on the watch with the button (turning off theatre mode).
I'd set my phone to silent which also seems to se the watch to silent! The alarm still vibrated when I turned the watch back on with this though.
Should the phone be in Priority mode perhaps? Or shall I just not bother with theatre mode and turn down the brightness so when I knock the screen during the night it doesn't wake us with the light!?
I have also tried to use Sleep As Android but it is so impossible to configure I gave up.
I use Sleep as Android (SAA) - it's been easier to configure as the dev has updated it, but still takes some time to learn. You can also use the alarm on the watch which usually worked for me, I use SAA because I can configure the alarm on my phone instead of the watch.
Also, I have tilt to wake off so the only time it turns on at night is if I touch the screen--seems to work for me.
Thanks,
I've just taken another look as Sleep as Android and realised the vibrating alarm on the watch doesn't just do it once, it's actually every few seconds increasing in the amount of vibrations. Doh! Thought it didn't work properly! I'm going to give it a proper go again tonight.
Cheers,
Z.

huh! I didnt know that. might have to give that a go myself...
Well, I tried out Sleep as Android properly last night/this morning and the thing woke me up no problem. Bit of a pain to turn off the alarm on the watch but that is probably for the best!
Goodbye Fitbit Charge
Hi!
I am also searching for a good alarm app. The problem I have is that the vibration is too noisy so I wake up my partner. I have tried SAA and it does a nice gentle few vibrations first, but it is so difficult to stop that I always end up in noisy buzzing...
Any other apps you have tried?
Thanks!
I got a T-Mobile G4 on June 1st, and have been having kind of an annoying issue with it. I have haptic feedback turned on so my phone vibrates when I hit the on-screen buttons or long-press on apps, etc., and I also use Swiftkey with haptic feedback as well.. Whenever the phone vibrates like this though, it has a little clicking sound it makes, like the motor is hitting something when it rotates. I don't have any button volume on either, so it isn't audio feedback. I tried searching elsewhere on the internet to see if anyone was having this problem but I figured the phone was too new for there to be a whole lot of information about it. I'm trying to determine whether I should just get over it or go into a T-Mobile store to see if their units do it as well, and exchange if I need to. Thanks for any help!
Yes! Mine does that too I had to shut haptic off. Pisses me off so bad because I like haptic
Mine did this, intermittently. It was OK at first, but after maybe a week, it would intermittently make sort of a "click" noise when the haptic would turn on. I had vibration feedback turned on for the keyboard, so while typing it might be smooth 4 times, then make a weird sound, then smooth some more, then click again.
I also found it very annoying I got a different unit, and this one has been fine. I hope it stays this way. I don't know if you can easily replace just the vibration motor assembly, if you wanted to fix the issue.
Hello,
I have an odd question, but first...how my question came about.
I have had my Moto360 for about 5 months now and enjoy it. But, there is that pesky battery life issue. I tried the Ambient screen and I like that because of being able to simply have a clock to see the time. If I get a notification, the watch goes full brightness, vibrates and shows the normal watch face for that. But...for the 10 other hours I'm not looking at my watch it doesn't need to be constantly lit up with Ambient Mode.
So...is there a way to have Tilt to Wake show the ambient clock along with full brightness watch face for notifications? Sort of a hybrid mode of both options. I would guess this would require root to modify a base function of the OS. I currently use Pujie Black for my watchface as well. Appreciate any thoughts!
Before the most recent update this is actually how Ambient mode worked and I missed it. Screen was of until I moved it and then it must lit up to Ambient. It was very nice and I miss that functionality. I really wish there was a way to get it back.
Bump...
Anyone been able to figure this out... Is there a hack that would allow this?
Hey guys, like many of you I recieved my Note 10+, and I'm almost done with the full setup. I am having a slight issue though with my AOD screen being way too dim. It's so dim that I can hardly make out the notification symbols. I've gone through the Lock Screen settings, and removed the auto brightness, and set the brightness all the way up, but it's like it did nothing. It's still very difficult to make out the notification.
Just wondering if anyone else is having or had the same issue, and was able to fix it?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Sorry for the message above. I literally just figured it out by accident. Right after I posted I turned my phone off, and tapped the screen once to see the time, then for some reason i double tapped the clock, and i got a brightness slider. I turned it up all the way, and it's much better now.
Sorry for the post if it's already been mentioned. I'm back on Android for the first time after being on iPhone for the past few years. I feel like I need to learn everything again.
