My watch hasrecently started to vibrate 4 times in quick succession, when it disables wifi to save battery, it then vibrates 2 or 3 times about 30 minutes later when wifi is enabled again, this becomes really annoying at night.
I use tasker on my phone to set it to silent at night, can I turn off vibration on the watch at night?
I've Google searched and can't find anything, although there are tasker apps for the watch, but couldn't see a way of doing this

This is rather annoying now, I can't have my watch in my room at night, as the vibrate when it loses its connection to the phone, is really irritating!

Any breakthroughs on this front? I would like to use my watch to monitor sleep patterns, but the several (3-4x per night) 3 successive vibrations always wake me up and therefore don't help accurately reflect any sleep patterns or issues.
Updated my phone to MM and so far the constant disconnects are gone, however, now the watch doesn't mimic the phone, so if the phone is on Do not Disturb, the watch doesn't switch and I have to set it manually

Did a test night before last. SM3 is on latest AW release, running MM on my phone. All alarms etc turned off in Sleep app. Wifi and bluetooth on. Starting at 11:30 until I finally took the watch off at 1:30, had 7 instances of the 3 vibrations. Watch and phone were no more than 3 feet apart at any give time.
The vibrate on disconnect is a function of the watch face. Most of the issues I had with it were in watchmaker (or similar apps), or faces that had coding problems. Also, put your watch in theatre mode by tapping the button two times in succession. This works well and sleep for android still vibrates to stop snoring .
It also works in the shower (to prevent the water from accidentally waking up the watch).

Every night, I mute my notifications on my 360, but still when I move (rollover, shift, etc.) my watch screen will turn on, lighting up my room. I've tried darker faces and it helps a bit, but it is still quite bright in a dark room. Is there any app out there that will disable the accelerometer screen on feature of the device? I still need the accelerometer to work at night, just not turn on the screen.

That's weird. My watch is always connected and I usually turn my ambient screen on the device to off when the watch dims on the charger. I never get notifications on the watch when docked / charging and the screen doesn't wake either. Anyone else?
Are you on the latest update?

Ah sorry lol.
Guess it didn't make sense to me that he was leaving it on while sleeping. :silly:
Actually hes using it for sleep tracking and I do as well. I bet the troll doesnt even own a 360.
I'd also like to know if anyone has made something to do what he's asking.
Another cool thing about sleeping with a smartwatch is the ability to have it vibrate to wake you up without disturbing anyone else
What app is being used for sleep tracking?
Huh? Wut?
Do I need to come in and keep the peace?
Knock it off and be civil please.

I'm using Sleep as Android for the sleep tracking with the cloud backup option. it's a 14 day trial, $5 to buy, but well worth it considering the 3rd party integration and features.
So after messing around with a few suggestions of people who did this accidentally. I have been able to repeat it every night.
1. Put the phone on the charger with ambient mode on or off doesn't matter.
2. Go into android wear app on your phone.
3. When the watch face has dimmed on the charger switch ambient mode on,(using the phone) the screen with go bright again then it will dim. Once it has dimmed wait 5 seconds and turn ambient mode to off. The screen should now turn off on the watch.
4. If you put it on the charger with ambient mode enabled wait for it to dim, wait 5 seconds then switch ambient mode off. If the face doesn't turn off you are now able to start at step 3 so that's why it didn't matter how you started.
This is the first time I've had something to contribute, so let me know how it works for you. I'll post a video when I get home, unless someone beats me to it. My build is KGW42R if that makes a difference.
This was posted before, but thanks for the contribution.
I'm hoping they eventually put an option in the settings to auto disable display while charging.

Ah, my bad. Last I had seen it was a few pages into a thread. Well nobody should have to ask the question on how to I suppose. You have two sources lol
Anyone know how to automate this using tasker? Or some shell script?

for me, after i do this, screen turns off... but eventually in the night, the watch turns back on, i think when my phone does some kinda of check or gets a notification, the watch turns back on... so for me its useless..
Even if the screen is off all night is it safe to leave it on charge all night, especially as it is fully charged after 2 hrs? I've only had my watch since Monday so still figuring out the best practice but I've been charging it for a bit in the evening before heading off to sleep, completely turning it off and then in the morning while getting ready just putting it on the charger to a) turn on and b) charge fully.
I know in the manual it says that it has smart technology to protect it against overcharging but does it not stay hot all night on the cradle?
I would not recommend putting it on charge overnight with the back getting hot and the plastic back being crack prone

Thank you for this. Will come in handy when my Moto 360 arrives sometime next week.

Non-issue. The back barely gets hot and even if it does just don't pull on the strap to the point that it causes pressure. Or simply take it off the charger for a minute before putting it on. It's not like its getting hot enough to melt the plastic. You can most definitely charge it overnight without a problem.
I've been doing this since I got the watch but last night after I installed the update the trick won't work. I go through the entire process and all goes like normal, but about 10 seconds after the screen shuts off, the backlight turns on. Anyone else having this issue?

I've noticed the backlight is on but it's still black. I guess at least it reduces the chance of the graphics getting stuck.

New update installed and the trick still works. No backlight just screen off.
I noticed that i dont have to be accurate and time 5-10 seconds after screen fades. It works anytime after the screen faded.
Anyway, thanks for the great tip!! :good:

I actually am having this issue. I usually turn off bluetooth on my phone right away, but the watch seems to continue to turn back on with the black screen only, which happened to drain my battery and make the watch really hot. Kinda strange.
This works for me without any issue, even after the last update from yesterday.
I just put the watch on the charger, then from the phone I set the Ambient Mode to ON, then to OFF and the screen turns off.
But here is the trick that I have noticed: you MUST have no light in the room, or cover the watch screen while doing the procedure. If there is light in the room, it won't work ! I accidentally discovered this.
There is also a build.prop edit in the development forum that allows you to change a line and when the watch is put on the charger, it does it automatically.
If you don't want to root your watch and you have a rooted phone, I made an app that does the button pressing for you
So the option to turn off the Display on Charger (Developer Menu) is not fixed?
Not to my knowledge.

I noticed the trick using the ambient setting works does turn off the display immediately but after a while ( not sure how long) the back light comes back. You see a faint back light with screen not nothing showing anything. Can only see this in pitch black at night all lights off
Anyone see the same behaviour?

The app that will do the same actions
With the latest update, this method doesn't work anymore. The screen will always turn on with a black screen after a couple of seconds. I don't think I will be charging it overnight anymore and just wait to charge it in the morning while getting ready.
Wish moto would give us an option to use nightstand mode or not. Even when dimmed it's still bright while sleeping.
I believe that I have read and understood everything correctly. A friend of mine also has the watch, and he believes that my watch may be malfunctioning.
My problem occurs when ambient mode is on. Here is what I have observed:
When ambient mode is OFF, my watch turns off when I'm not holding it up - when I hold it up to chest level/my face, it turns on at my standard brightness (not dim).
When ambient mode is ON, my watch is very dim when it's off to the side, sometimes turning off completely at certain angles - when I hold it up to chest level/my face, it remains dim. The only way it goes to standard brightness is if I touch the screen or power button.
This occurs with Facer AND with stock watch faces.
Is this a problem with my watch or how I'm operating it? I'm on the latest update, I just purchased it two days ago.
Thank you very much for any help.
Reset your watch once and then see

I seem to be having an issue with the screen turning on at random. I have Always-on screen set to ON and tilt-to-wake set to OFF, but the screen will turn on sometimes seemingly at random and multiple times in a row. I have done Factory Reset a couple of times and it does not help.
Is there anyone else with this occurance and is there a fix for it?

I have this issue too. I've tried several configurations and it keeps doing it.

Any apps that send a lot of notifications or any notifications that are automatically dismissed/very briefly show up? Can't think of anything else that would wake your watch.
No, not on mine.

I have the exact same issue. At first I thought it was tilt-to-wake having poor gesture recognition so I turned it off. However I noticed without touching the screen it would turn on and then turn off after the stand-by time. To verify that was the case I left it sitting on my desk all day and observed that it would in fact randomly turn on and off. I also noticed that when the issue occurs the battery life decreases rapidly.
Also this issue will continue to occur even in theater mode.
Have you find a solution yet? My smartwatch 3 does the screen turn on randomly and then also touch screen issue occurs, and it makes random touches, swipes going into settings and so on, without touching the screen. I'am on the latest wear version mwd49b.
For more info search on youtube for my video about this problem: Sony SmartWatch 3 screen problem.
I recently began having the same problem. The screen does not turn off after it randomly turns on - I have to manually press the button to turn it off. Needless to say, this tend to run down the battery. I did a factory reset this morning, but the problem persists.
EDITING POST JULY 20:
After factory reset, I actually had the watch doubly connected to the phone, so I have corrected that now. However the problem with the random turn-ons began occurring well before the factory reset. I'm not sure what triggers it, or what stops it, but when it begins to happen, it drains the battery very quickly. The problem only began recently (within the past few weeks), so I'm not sure what changed to bring this on.
A bug in Android Alarm Clock keep the watch active after alarm ring. Just corrected yesterday by an update on Google Alarm/Clock app.
On the phone > android wear app > settings icon on top right > device settings (smartwatch 3) >tilt to wake set to off
1) Can i disable the functions of "cardiac activity" "pedometer" ?!
2) Battery life is very bad, what can I do to optimize it?
3) On reminders and alarm clocks, it doesn't vibrate, why?
nothing?
up
I just got mine and the performance was horrible. I had to let the software update to 5.x from 4.x and after that was done I deleted it from my phone and then did a factory reset on the watch. After I did all that I used a moto watchface and had 36 hours.
On optimising battery life:
Turn off gestures (tilt to wake, etc), ambient mode (the display doesn't need to be on all the time, press the side button or tap the screen), and wifi. I also turn mine off every night when I go to sleep (I never wear a watch to bed, anyway) and I can usually get 3-4 days out of mine, with decent use of the actual smartwatch features (voice texting, media control, responding to notifications).

Although it rear tilt to wake option is disabled, the watch lights up when it turned up in the display.
Probably something else causing it to light up, but I'm not sure now what.
If there is a clock faces that have settings for this, those in the WatchMaker Premium application do not have this option to turn off tilt to wake up for reduce the battery consumation.

The Android Wear app is the only place that I know of where the tilt to wake option is located.
I don't use either Facer or Watchmaker Premium, so I'm not sure about that option under either app.
Using either app can cause extra battery drain, since the watch communicates with the phone constantly (or at least frequently) to update the watch face.

You're right. I probably had in mind the possibility of stopping this option from the watch itself, which does not happen until you stop the application Android Wear, as you mentioned.
Alternatively, it is talking about is removing dim off the clock.
Thanks for your guidance.
