Is anyone else having issues with their Smart Watch alarms? I've noticed that my alarms which I've set on the watch no longer vibrate if the phone is in silent (dnd) mode and the watch screen just lights up with the snooze or dismiss option. The phone is configured so alarms still sound in silent mode. Phone alarms sound and vibrate correctly, it's just the watch ones that have stopped working properly. It doesn't matter if I activate DND from the phone or the watch.
What I've noticed is that if you click the Do Not Disturb menu on the watch it briefly flashes "alarms only" but then changes to "total silence". However, if I turn Bluetooth off on the phone the watch works perfectly. The drop down remains at "alarms only", doesn't revert to "total silence" and the alarms vibrate correctly even in DND mode.
The behaviour change/bug nearly caused me to miss a flight yesterday.
My phone got the OTA Nougat update last night, but the problem persists.
When putting the phone in DND mode the status bar of the watch briefly flashes "alarms only" then reverts to "total silence" and any alarms set on the watch only flash the screen but don't vibrate

I have the Sprint version of the Touch Pro 2. My preferred ringer setting is "vibrate and ring". However, if I temporarily switch to either vibrate or silent mode, when I turn the volume back on, it goes back to the "ring only" setting. Is there any way to have it return to my preferred setting?
Same problem here, and it is driving me nuts! I go from quiet to noisy environments and it is causing me to miss calls. Someone please help!!!
I spoke with HTC tech support today. They were able to reproduce the issue on a phone they had on hand and acknowledged the problem and created a case file. They said it will be researched and fixed in a future software update.
how do i turn off vibrate for new emails/sms when in vibrate mode?
how do i turn off vibrate for new emails/sms when in vibrate mode? it's a bit annoying
when i'm in silent mode, i want it to vibrate for some features i.e. combo.
is there any way to get rid of the blinking light for notifications?
if i leave the watch to normal settings, ambient mode off, tilt to wake on i get notifications (like text and emails) and they turn the watch on. and it vibrates.
but if i turn off tilt to wake, then when i get email and text the watch doesnt wake up at all.. or even get notifications or vibrate..
if i turn on ambient mode and turn off tilt to wake, then my watch gets notifications cards, but wont vibrate on text and emails.
any ideas??
My watch has similar symptoms. There's topic about that http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/general/5-0-1-sucks-imho-t2976297
Hello all!
I'm coming here from an exploding Note 7, returned that and have a temporary HTC Desire 530 as a placeholder (it sucks hard). Trying to decide if I want this phone or not. I have one question I haven't seen discussed.
Can you put the phone in silent mode without turning on Do Not Disturb mode? DND mode makes both my Android Wear and my TizenOS smartwatches worthless.
In the phone I have right now when you put the phone in silent it turns on Do Not Disturb mode, meaning my watches get NO notifications. I loved on my last few phones I could have a silent phone, but still get notifications from both the notification light and my watch. In my current phone if you turn off DND mode then it goes into vibrate mode which vibrates extremely loud on my desk at work. My only option has been to get a silent mp3 file for my ringtone and notification sounds. PITA switching sounds when I get home from work every day.
If you can put the phone in silent mode (no vibrate for notifications/ringing, no sound for notifications/ringing) but still get vibration notifications on smart watches and the notification light then I'm sold!
Can anyone shine some light on this for me?
This HTC Desire 530 is sucking my will to live. I need subtle vibration notifications on my wrist throughout the work day on projects/emails/etc with a silent (and not vibrating) phone.
This isn't a limitation of the phone or the phone specific software, this is simply how android marshmallow and up works

Not on the LG G4, LG G5 or Galaxy Note 7. On both those devices I can drop the phones volume down to silent mode and it still:
A) Turns on the notification light
B) Vibrates my Android Wear watch
I have no idea what genius thought they should create a mode that nixes one of the main smart watch selling points baked right into the OS. =(
I want notifications on my wrist without my phone vibrating - why is that such a crazy thing? lol
If anything I should be able to disable Do Not Disturb mode and restore regular normal functional silence mode through a custom ROM or root or something... maybe?
Also you didn't say if this does this for sure. If you set your OP3 into silent mode, can you still allow ALL notifications in this mode? I know the OP3 is supposed to be customizable but I'm not sure to what extent.
You'll have to forgive me, but this seems rather silly and I cant get it going. My previous phone was Moto X (2014). It was set up for notification sounds for when my ringer was on, and if I switched to Android's vibrate mode it vibrated instead. Easy, vibrate in lieu of the sound. Common sense.
Not so with my Pixel XL. In Vibrate mode, the app will only vibrate if I set it to vibrate INDIVIDUALLY in the app itself. Meaning it vibrates all the time, even when the ringer is on. I can't get it to vibrate only in vibrate mode. If I don't enable 100% vibration, the notifications in vibrate mode pop up silently.
I recognize my last device was rather old, but did this functionality change?
I recognize this is probably a dumb question but if someone can confirm there is nothing wrong with my device that would be great Thank you
Hey there. I have some trouble with the alert slider, not working how I need it to be working. Here are my settings and how I use it:
* Silent Mode: Does not vibrate and turns off media sound
* DND: Accepts only calls, which were made in between 3 minutes
* Normal: Just normal Rings and vibrates
So, also I have installed the Tiles app to add an extra Ringing Mode Tile to enable an vibrate only mode in the normal mode. My problem or assumption was now,
that I want the silent mode behave like the normal mode when I get called. To make this clear, when I get an call in the normal mode the screen turns on and displays
the phone app. But this ist not how it works in the Silent Mode. Instead the screen stays of and shows the notification via the "Always On Display". This notification
is not very visible, causing some missed calls...
I thought the Silent Mode only disables all sound but behaves otherwise like the normal mode. Is there something I can do to make it behave like I described or an alternate way?
Silent mode is when the switch is all the way to the top. In that mode, the screen does turn on.
Just flip the switch up to silent and then when that little settings pop-up comes, click it and go into alert settings and you can then turn vibration on and off for the silent mode section.
My screen does not turn on. It just stays black and an small notification is shown. I'll try it again...
I am on latest OOS nougat.
