I'm missing calls and texts because my phone is going into do not disturb, seemingly randomly. All 3 default automatic rules (weekend, weeknight, and event) are set to off. Anyone got some advice?

My first guess would be that you are pressing the volume down button when you are in vibration mode.

Negative. It happens whilst just sitting on my desk (as well as other times...in my pocket, sitting in the cup-holder in my car, etc.).

I don't see a "moto actions" in the menu, but settings > sound and options > do not disturb access > there's a moto actions in there which was turned on. Turned it off. Hope that was it. Thank you.

I feel like I have to be missing something dumb here. I can't get the G3 to be in vibrate mode and vibrate when I get a text or call. When I get the call the screen just lights up to the caller screen. It doesn't even vibrate when I have the ringer on. Under settings -> Sound, I have Silent mode set to vibrate then the Ringtone with vibration checkbox goes grey. This is what my sound settings are in the screenshot. What am I missing?

your not the only one i have missed quiet a few calls because this phone isnt vibrating
Good to know you are also having this issue. I just got it on Friday and I haven't dropped it. The phone won't even vibrate when I switch it into vibrate mode like my S3 did. It vibrates when I turn the phone off so I know that it can vibrate. It has to be a setting that we are missing. I am trying to stay away from a hard reset of the phone.
Settings-sound and click Vibrate. Turn strength up. I found it rather weak. So changed Vibration type to a loner ong and boosted strength some. Helps
idk. no problems on my side

It's not that. I already had that set to Vibrate. I get vibration from other apps like Facebook when I have a notification. I checked the default texting app and it's set to vibrate always.

Ok, now it seems to be working. I restarted the phone and it went through the optimizing apps screen. I wonder if it was having issues still after I tried switching to ART runtime. I switched it back to Dalvik yesterday but it maybe didn't optimize everything.
I've been having the same issue. It fixes itself whenever I restart but keeps coming back. I have the at&t version in case that makes a difference.

Having same issue, on rooted Verizon. That option stays grayed out...anyone find the answer to this?
I just updated to lollipop and I'm having the same issue. I can't get my texts or emails to vibrate at all. Picture in the first post is accurate for me. Vibrate mode active and notification and touch sliders are greyed out.

yup, that's the fix I also found for this problem. Restarting fixes it.
A new official update popped up two days ago and the vibration stopped working after it was installed. I tried rebooting, I even did factory reset, but still not working. Help?
But how can I turn off the pedometer?

not exactly "disabling" it, but you can pause it
open up s-health, go to the pedometer section, hit the settings button "pause pedometer"
if you happen to have a device (watch/band/etc) that can count steps, i would think you can use the "Switch device" option at that same menu and select that device, then just never sync it.. that _should_ effectively turn off the pedometer on the phone *shrugs*
Thanks alot
Does anyone know how to get silent mode activated? There is the choice of do not disturb. But if you put it on priority it vibrates and if it's on the alarm doesn't go off and if it's off, you can only have either sound or vibrate.
It seems it's missing the silent option.

It says here that do not disturb "allows some resources to interrupt it when in Priority. Alarms always have priority".

Yes, but with vibrate. I want no vibrate
Looks like LG removed Silent mode in their rom and replaced it with Do Not Disturb. Pure Android 5.0 builds on devices such as the Nexus range still have a silent mode, so this was definitely a LG thing .

Thats just stupid...
I developed an app: Call Filter Alarm. Its sleep mode can silence all notifications (also whatsapp and viber), even on Lollipop.
Hope it helps

I made a small workaround that is very handy!
I used Nova Activities widget to create a shortcut to the Sounds and Notificaitions --> Interruptions activity.
Whenever I want to sleep, I simply tap the widget on my homescreen, turn off Calls as priority notifications and go to sleep with peace of mind. :angel:
As soon as I wake up, I simply enable Calls as priority interruptions again by using the Nova widget
I know this is a workaround but this is the best way I found so far to solve this irritating problem on Android Lollipop.
I would also love to hear about any workarounds that anyone else on XDA has hacked together! Probably whip out a dialog UI using Tasker?
Hit thanks if my post helped you :good:
Very frustrated by the "Do not disturb" sound setting. Messed up my first alarm after update to Lollipop. Now I have to press the volume button, then from there "Priority only" in order to have the alarm sound working. Otherwise, if I press "Silent mode" icon from the notification tray it goes into "Do not disturb" so no alarm. And there is no shortcut in the notification tray for "Priority only". Really stupid...

Yip, my thoughts exactly.
It's crazy.
I also go thru the volume solution you mention.
So yeah, this is ridiculous. I loved my G2, and everyone said the OS was overworked. Now its more basic looking to the android eye, and i hate it. Im missing so many small features. Silent with no vibration and ALARM for one thing!

Very curious what the issue was, and how it was resolved. I went the Asus Support chat route, and was supremely disappointed when they sent me to their website, had me do a reset, a reinstall of the Zenwatch Manager, then decided it must be a hardware issue, and told me it would need to be sent in to be serviced.
If cover to mute doesnt work, and the app wont save the selection when I click apply...but cover works for other features....why blame the watch hardware? Seems more likely to be a phone software issue than watch hardware.
Support had no clue. The watch is saying install android wear, the phone indicates that Zenwatch Manager requires and uses Android Wear configuration, and the guy is telling me I dont need to install Android Wear. Very frustrating half hour!
Not working for me either
I can't get incoming calls (Nexus 5, stock Lollipop 5.0.1) to mute using the feature either. Could it be related to the fact that I wear the watch on my right wrist?
nah, sounds like a hardware issue... send it in for service.
nah, sounds like a hardware issue... send it in for service.
Are you putting your palm ON the watch? That's what I have to do with my Moto 360.
cover to mute
What's odd, is cover with palm does work for other things....if you want to return to dismiss whatever is on screen, and return to the watch screen, so the cover function works! And the phone calls can be answered or dismissed from the watch with a right or left swipe. Its just that function in zenwatch manager.
Here was my solution
I had this problem too, and found a solution.
PROBLEM: On my phone, in the Zenwatch Manager app, under the "Cover to Mute" setting, I would tick the box next to "Incoming call", then "apply", but when I would go back into that setting, the box would be unticked.
SOLUTION:: On the WATCH, start FoneHelper (touch the clock to get the main menu--where it says "speak now" up top--scroll down and press the menu item "start", scroll and press "fonehelper). You will then have the option to toggl "Cover to Mute." I was able to enable the setting from that screen.
*Incidentally, when I do it that way, I can immediately see that choice reflected on my phone, in the Zenwatch Manager App. I still cannot use the Zenwatch Manager to enable this setting, but I've succesfully done it via my watch multiple times.
Hopefully this is helpful for someone else as well.
Confirmed resolution!

That's it! Even Asus support was stumped, but that setting is the cause/solution!
Thanks for taking the time to provide such a well written response! Thanks again! +++
Thank you so much. Having the same problem and this totally fixed it for me!
On Nexus 5 and Android 5.1 installed this does not help. Problem is, that Watch put Phone into "Interrupt priority" state, which allows only important events to ring or vibrate. But this setting does not prevent ring or vibration, which is already in progress during the incoming call. I tried to use Takser app to set Silent mode on, ringer off, vibrate off, interrupt mode to None - but none of them helped. It can mute the ringer, but not the vibration. But then i figured out the solution. First, you need a rooted phone. Then create Tasker profile for variable set event "%INTERRUPT~priority". This will trigger event, when Watch will set the phone to "interrupt priority state". Create a task for this profile to just simulate pressing volume down key: select Button action to do this. This will completly mute the call.
Also, ASUS support told me, that this issue will be fixed in android 5.1.1 in the middle of may.
Is there any way to mute all notification sounds without vibration? When I'm working I don't want my phone to make any sounds or vibrate while it's laying on my wooden desk. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy devices and there was always an option to mute ALL notifications, sound and vibration. Am I missing something? Shouldn't have to turn on Do Not Disturb for something so simple that I'm sure many people use.

Lower the volume all the way down then push down again further and the phone will go into a full silent mode except alarms.

Why "shouldn't have to turn on DND"? What you want is exactly what DND does. No sounds and no vibration. You can even choose which notification can go through with priority mode

Yeah I agree. I use the DND toggle all the time right before I go into work. You don't even have to leave the lockscreen.

When DND is on do notifications still show on the screen? I'm asking because I've never used it, just always muted my phone.

They can if you turn off the option which blocks it. Look at the settings under "Block visual disturbances".

I don't understand why turning the volume all the down with the rocker turns on vibrate instead of just turning down the volume. DND presents you with a myriad of options that make muting your phone take more steps than necessary. My S7 had DND and I never had to use it, guess why? Turning down the volume actually turned down the volume and nothing else. I could even mute the phone with the screen off or locked so no I shouldn't have to use a "feature" that takes more button presses than necessary.

That's cool you could do that with the screen off. There's a couple simple ways to do DND from the lockscreen. One is double tapping the screen (or press power) and volume down all the way until you get to vibrate then press volume down again to mute which then turns DND on. You can also get out of DND with the volume button too. Someone mentioned this already. Or you can double tap to wake (Or press power), slide down the the notification menu, tap DND toggle. Both are not many steps really and no unlocking necessary.
