Alarms not sounding - Huawei Watch

This is a problem I've had on and off for a while, maybe since Wear 2.0 but can't be sure
More often than not, the alarms I set on the watch vibrate but no sound.
If it's relevant I have Watchmake installed and usually have one of WM faces showing
Also, I don't really use it for connections or notifications from my phone, so Areoplane mode is usually on for the watch and the watch is disconnected in Wear OS on my phone. Also, I tend to switch off the screen to save battery, but alarms do work in this scenario and when they work, I get vibration, display comes on and sound. When they don't work properly, I just get vibration, no sound and no display.
As I say, I had it working most of the time for about a year but recently its gone belly up again and I only get vibration for alarms. I've done factory resets on the watch and sometimes I get sound etc, sometimes I don't.
Anyone else experiencing this and/or any suggestions?
Thanks

Tasker issue with Galaxy S2

I've been trying to make it so my phone goes silent at a certain time, and then removes the silent after the 'certain time' has expired. This has not been a problem.
The issue is that I still want specific phone numbers to make it through should I receive an emergency call. I used the Profile -> Phone, Incoming Call - to trigger and this works fine. However, there seems to be nothing I can do to force the phone to ring. I've tried removing silent mode, and it does, but the phone still won't ring until the next call. I've also tried lowering volumes and raising on phone call, same result. The closest I've become is to play my ringer tone as a ringer using Task -> Media, Play Ringtone. The downside is the phone will absolutely NOT stop ringing. It does when you pick up the phone but continues after you hang up, well past the ringtones duration. Calling Stop Task doesn't work, nor can I find a stop audio action.
I'm hoping someone has a good solution to this as I couldn't find one through lots of searching and trying. I wouldn't mind having to use a terminal command to stop audio if possible but I couldn't find any information on that either.
Any help is appreciated.
Just going to bump this once in hopes someone can figure out a solution. Thanks.

How to silence call via watch?

Hello
Is there any way to silence a call using the watch? I am not talking about rejecting the call, just to turn off the ringer.
It can be done by pressing the vol/power button on the phone but I cant find how to do it on watch.
quick google couldnt give me the answer, hope you guys know any way to acheive this
You can look at the app "Ringtone Remote" in Google Play. I haven't tried it, but it seems to be able to do what you want. It is also free!
When you cover the watch with a open palm, the watch will turn black and the phone will become silent and the call will continue to ring silently
Nice, didn't know that. It actually did work... the first time. When I test it the second time the call on the watch gets muted but the phone keeps on ringing, even though it did work the first time I tested.
thanks it works. But i dont get a 100% success rate. But it still works
Wear Mini Launcher, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher. It has a Widgets screen that controls multiple things on the phone, including allowing you to toggle speaker on, mute, or vibrate... from the watch.
I would also like to be able to touch one of the icons on the watch face that I am using to immediately mute the watches' speaker. That would solve your request and mine also. Thanks

Speakerphone turns off mid call ....

I cant figure out why this is happening but when i am in the call on speakerphone the phone will sometimes just turn off speaker and revert to the phone earpiece but the software still thinks its in speaker mode thus the only way to go back to speaker is to change the audio to handset first then reenable speaker.. this can sometimes happen several times withing a single call. I also have an android wear watch that is paired via bluetooth which i though may be the culprit but i have noticed it even when my watch is dead... anyone else?
Having same issue when connected to Bluetooth in my car. It will change output and I have to manually put it on phone headset then back. Sometimes it will just drop a call all together. Usually 6 minutes approx into the call. I am on Verizon 7.1.1. NMF260. Anyone else still having these issues on most recent update as I am.
Yeah I noticed it to. Thought it was my Android wear watch so I turned off gestures thinking the wrist movements were switching the output. I haven't had a chance to retest.

I am going to resurrect this thread because I'm having the same issue and it's one of the most infuriating things ever. To have my private conversation suddenly switch to speakerphone, or to be in the car and have it switch from car speakers to speakerphone is frustrating beyond words!
I have the issue as well. Sometimes it happens when another calls comes in or when a notification comes in, but also happens randomly. Pixel 2, Android 9.

Odd bug, any mention of it on the bug tracker?

Android Auto in-car no ringtone for incoming sound

I've noticed that if you have your phone's sound set to vibrate, then there's no ringtone or vibration when you're in Android Auto connected to your vehicle. This wasn't the case with my Nexus 6 on Nougat. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? The call will be missed if you don't happen to see the call on your car's display screen. The only way to change the volume at this point is to disconnect from AA and set it, then reconnect. I would expect that the phone should defer to the volume set on the car once connected.
Yes. I had a similar situation last night, a text message came in and the only notification was the the on-screen popup. On my last phone it would send a notification via the car speakers.
Try going into the Do not Disturb settings, and under automatic rules, toggle Driving off. I haven't had a chance to test my notifications in the car since turning this off, but I do remember reading about this being a "feature" of Oreo, I think. Seems like a pain in the ass to me.

Android Auto should completely override the automatic driving mode in DND. In reality Android Auto's notification setting should supersede all other notification settings.

Question In call notification issues

Hello, I have been having this problem with my previous s10+ and it has continued into my zfold3 so this is not specific to the zfold3 but it is where I am experiencing this issue currently.
So the problem is when I am in a call and someone texts me I get a barely audible notification sound that I almost never actually hear. I have gone into the in call settings and only see an option to turn on/off in call notifications but no customization such as what tone to use nor the volume. I also tested this with notification volume set to around 25% vs 100% and it goes from no audible sound at all to a ding that is barely hearable in a completely quiet setting, but once you are in an actual real world situation of talking to someone you will not hear it.
I talk on the phone while using headphones, specifically buds live editions. I include this info in case its relevant, but I have tested while not using the earbuds and had the same result so I don't the headphones are the problem.
Am I missing something in the settings somehow where I can actually have control of in call notifications? With my previous phone I dont remember having this issue early on. After at least a year of using the s10+ this issue started happening and I couldnt figure it out, got the new phone and purposely did not connect the transfer cable and set it up and transfered files manually to avoid potentially having a bad setting transfer over and continuing this problem. Yet the problem still continues regardless. My best guess is its something that started after a big UI update or something like that. Hoping someone can give me some insight or advice on fixing this cause its causing me a lot of strife.
