Hi..I use the do not disturb function and it activates automatically in the evening. The only issue I have there are various apps that seem to break through the dnd such as BBM also when I sit the phone down on the charge pad or plug it in, it bleeps.
Is there a way to stop both of these instances happening when in dnd?
Thanks.

Anybody got a good app for turning notifications off at night but allow certain contracts to ring? Also looking to disable the LED light and sound etc
So far only app I have on my Z2 is Quiet Sleep which does the phone calls and sound.

Check out Nights Keeper. I've been using it for several months now on a few different HTC phones & love it. There isn't an option to disable the LED, unless via stamina mode perhaps, but otherwise it should be what you're looking for.

Edit: Sorry, you've already accomplished the same thing with Quiet Sleep that Nights Keeper does I think. I'll leave in case someone else could use it & stumbles onto this thread.
I'm using tasker for that. As soon as the phone is docked and in my Wifi I turn off all the sounds and the LED notification. Turn on all the sounds as soon as I undock the phone. Works just fine. You can also define either a single contact or all your favorite contacts to ring regardless of that setting. Same goes for received texts.

Another vote for nights keeper. I was working night shift where I had finished my work allocated I would go back home to bed. I'd set it up so only certain people could get through (ie the boss and office) whether that be bus sms or call.
It's got a handy feature whereby, if anyone calls more than a predetermined number of times (you choose) there call will get through after x amount of tries.

Hello Everyone - I just purchased my Zenwatch 2 a few days ago and have mixed feelings about it. I have a few issues but not quite sure if it's just user error or if I have a lemon watch. I want to be able to power down my watch and charge it nightly, however when I power down the watch and attach the pogo charger, the watch instantly powers back on. I tried it three times in a row in different variations (placing it on the charger and then powering it down, powering it down and then placing it on the charger etc). Is anyone else having this problem? The reason for powering it off at night is because I don't want to be woken up by the phone's lights/vibrations when I get emails at all hours of the night. Is the watch supposed to do this? I have checked the manual and it says nothing about this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
All smart watches do that
There is a a menu you can pill down from the top and turn of all notifications

Wonderful, thank you crzygrmn - that will temporarily fix the buzzing and the lighting up at night. My long term problem is that the watch will not stay off/powered down if I am charging the watch. In other words, I can power down the watch, but as soon as I connect the pogo charger to it, it will instantly turn back on. Likewise when I connect it to the charger and then power the watch down, it will turn back on again as well. Anyone have information on the charging/powering down issue specifically?
Not sure why, but yes they all do that.

exninja, thank you for confirming. I wondered because my boyfriend's Samsung Neo 2 watch does not do that - so I thought perhaps my zenwatch 2 shouldn't have either. Thanks again for the reply!
Because the samsung watches mostly run on tizen os .

I put my watch in theater mode at night. That keeps the display off all night.
I use an app named Slumber (look for it on Google Play).
It does the same as manually setting theater mode, but it is automatic
You could also use Tasker and AutoInput to open the Android Wear app and disconnect the watch at night and reconnect it in the morning. I use it to turn off the screen at night to prevent burn-in.
Hi,
My wife has a gen two Moto 360 and a Oneplus 2. She hates her phone making a noise, so would always put her phone on do not disturb (or rather, no interruptions), meaning she would often miss calls from me and other people - which is why I bought her a beautiful Rose Gold Moto.
The problem she has though is that every time she moves the Interruptions toggle on her Oneplus to 'priority only' or 'No Interruptions' the watch switches to the same mode. There seems to be no option to override it. On my Apple Watch there is a toggle for 'mirror iPhone' in the Do Not Disturb section, as well as the Airplane Mode section. Ideally she would like to have no notifications at all on her phone but have everything make her watch buzz - even emails:
I'm sure I'm just missing something here but can anyone help, as I simply can't find the option!
Thanks in advance.
In the settings of android wear, there is a setting to "mute phone alerts and calls" while connected to the watch. Will that help?

Hi, I saw that. The problem is she doesn't have her watch on all the time, so I assume the phone would start making noises if she took the watch off, and if she then put her phone into No Interruptions mode again, the watch would mirror the phone again...all seems a bit messy I had an Android Wear device a while back and I'm sure I was able to do this, as I also never have sounds on on my phone - at least, not since the first Pebble. Wonder if it's a change since Interruptions were introduced.
Put the phone on silent with vibrations only and it will still vibrate the watch.
Can anyone help with suggestions please? After the MM update I can't seem to find a way (or App) to 'sleep' the Z5C at night. What I am trying to achieve is to turn off Sound, LED light, Sync, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and Mobile Data at night. Basically, I just want the phone to be available for outgoing (Emergency) calls at night, but nothing else. However, during the day I want return to the full smartphone functionality.
MM native Doze keeps waking up the phone to sync periodically. MM Do not Disturb doesn't seem to turn off the LED notification light. I've tried several Apps but the MM update seems to have removed the functionality for 3rd Party Apps to manage mobile data (I.E. Doze App, DS Battery Saver Pro, etc.)
Is there an easy (non-rooted) way to do this?
Cheers.

Is Sony Smart Connect only for when the phone is on charge? My phone is not on charge all night.
I think you can use a time range to start an event

Over the last month or so, my phone has been randomly activating DND mode. It seems like I did not have this issue when I had tilt to wake turned off, so I'm wondering if my watch is causing this. I've also posted in my phone's forum with no responses. Has anyone else experienced this with the Zenwatch? Is there some gesture that activates it?
What is Do not Disturb mode?
Is it just going silent? There is a DND switch in the android wear app that silences the phone when the watch is connected, is that off?
DND is the new silent mode that silences all notifications except alarms and priority.
My ZW2 automatically goes into DND when the power save feature kicks in at 15%.
Yeah you can put the phone and watch into "do not disturb" mode by swiping down from the top of the screen and turning it on or off. I'm wondering if this is somehow accidentally getting switched on there or if it is a software bug with the phone. You can set it to come on on a schedule on the phone, but I have never set that option up.

Ok, the watch is definitely causing this. My phone was in the middle of an upgrade for Android and I noticed that the watch had switched over to Do Not Disturb while it was disconnected from the phone. I may be due for a factory reset.

So, I finally figured out what is causing this. You can enable Do Not Disturb entirely through gestures with the watch. If you twist your arm towards you with the screen on, it will pull down the menu from the top that has your battery and the button for do not disturb. If this menu is open, a quick downward flick of your arm will enable do not disturb. Apparently, I am doing this combination of motions fairly often.
You are a lifesaver with this tip!
The strange thing is that after a while my Zenwatch also does not receive any agenda items (agenda simply shows no items) nor will it receive any notifications (calls, emails etc) whenever the DND issue arises even though I exit DND mode. Until now the only solution I have found to this is doing a hard reset on both my phone (HTC M8 running latest GPE marshmallow) and the Zenwatch 2. The usual tricks like clearing the watch and the Android Wear app do not resolve this.
Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

I never ran into that issue. Mine seemed to go back to normal once I disabled DND. However, my phone had some issues with DND and settings would crash if I tried to adjust the DND settings. I think that this was just a weird issue with my phone and not related to the watch.
I have not had DND enable since I turned off wrist gestures in the watch settings. I also sent feedback to Google requesting to be able to customize or remove items from that drop-down menu. Maybe if others who are experiencing this issue do the same, they will implement some kind of fix.
