Watch Droid questions - Amazfit

Hi guys,
When I'm in bed I use the DND (do not disturb) function from my phone and my Stratos.
But Watch Droid still pushes notifications through with vibration.
The only way to stop that is to manually toggle the "vibration when silent" option in Watch Droid settings on the phone. But then it stays silent (even when DND is over) untill I toggle it again.
My phone is always on vibration function (sound always muted) because of my job...
Can someone help me?

Use airplane mode on the watch along with dnd

Can't do that. I need to be reachable for my "favorites": Alarm service, my mother (sick husband) etc etc.
With DND the favorites will go through on the phone.

WD does not "respect" watch's status - try using Amazmod for that configuration

I never realised that WD doesn't have a dnd hours option, because I've always used airplane at night instead of dnd, to save some battery life. It's so strange they've missed such a basic feature.
Only issue with amazmod is it doesn't allow responding to older notifications. Once that functionality comes in, it'll be fantastic

So Amazmod is the better solution here?
Just bought WD
Have to test Amazmod further I guess...

Depends if you need the ability to reply to notifications after they've gone off the screen.

[Q] Phone Only Mode?

Coming from a Blackberry, I used to use "Phone Only Mode" (Phone only goes off, if and when, it is a phone call) Is there any app or widget that can accomplish this? At night E-mail notifications and Facebook constantly wake me up. I would put it on silent, but I don't want to miss any important calls. Thanks in advance for any help on this matter,
Russ
Look for any apps that set up profiles by time. That should help u. Like from so and so time till the morning shut everything down but ringtone

Thanks I'll look into it.
I use AudioManager to quickly turn down the notifications and/or ring tones all from a single slider screen, but there are several similar apps that will allow you to set up sound profiles and quickly change via location (Locale) or via a widget.

Just disable the auto sync of data. then only the phone works,,,
I've been using bedside for 2 years and it rocks. You can setup white lists for texts, calls or whatever.
I love Tasker. It does cost a small bit but the customizable profiles are awesome. If you just want something for use at night, bedside may be good enough, but definitely look into Tasker if you want to automate anything else (for example,I have it set to start the GPS when I launch Google maps and to shut it off when I exit.

[Q] Phone ringer automatically switches to silent mode

I am having this problem with my phone. Every time I set the phone ring volume, after a while (30-60 minutes) I suddenly hear my phone vibrate and then it automatically on its own goes into silent mode with silent icon appearing in the top bar. It is very annoying to keep checking my phone to see if it has not gone into silent mode.
Any idea what may be causing this. I cannot find in anything in the settings to enable or disable this.
please help!
I am getting tired of my phone automatically turning the ringer off and going into silent mode after emitting a short pulse vibration (like in notification) while sitting on my desk every few hours.

got this tip from an user on Android Central:
There is a settings tweak in the Power Save mode to toggle vibrations. I think the default is no vibrations.
I will give this a try now.

Thank you for the tip. I want to say that I love this phone....however, given its rounded back shape, the vibration was especially loud and annoying. I had been looking for ways to disable all vibration but didn't realize the power saving mode was the culprit. Now, I wont jump out of my chair every time I get a notification. Thank you again for putting my nerves at ease!

i figured out what the issue is - an app called Onavo has been changing the ringer profile to silent whenever mobile data is becoming active. uninstalled the app and it works like a charm.
good job
Its mostly caused by power savers. just uninstall apps you suspect one at a time

(Q) Vibration Notifications for Gmail, Facebook, Hangouts etc. will not turn off

My Verizon S4 is set to vibration mode (sound turned down/off)
In the options for gmail, facebook, and hangouts I have notifications turned on, but the vibration is off (unticked), BUT I still get vibrations when an incoming email, message, or notification comes along.
Anyone know how to override this issue? Are there external apps that can fix it? I only want my phone to vibrate when I get phone calls or text messages.
I have searched and found nothing.
Does no one else have this problem? It's driving me nuts!
I have the issue but mine only affects my enhanced Email app running Yahoo. Going to try uninstalling that and just use default email app, see if that helps.
Anybody find a solution to this yet????

I'm thinking that the sound/vibrate settings in Settings may be overriding this, but don't know why?

because you have it in vibration mode. all notifications are vibrate when in vibration mode, even when you have vibration turned off in the apps.

I was thinking that may be what is happening.....
It never used to do this on the Galaxy S4, whoever finds a fix for this I will love forever!
This is not a bug but an annoying change Google made as of Android 4.2. Basically anything with a notification is supposed to vibrate when the phone is in vibrate mode regardless of the app setting although the app needs to support it. There is no fix but CM10.1 has the ability to revert this behavior.

Sorry for digging up this Thread, but this is not acceptable for me.
My S3 is always on Silent/Vibrate - Mode. In this case, Hangouts isn't usable for me. I have to disable all hangouts notificitaions, or my phone would vibrate almost all of the time.
So, is there any workaround available, so far?
I've allready tried to revoke permissions for vibration from hangouts and G+ via "App Settings" (Xposed module), but that didn't work. :/
Any solution would be great. Otherwise I have to go back to 4.1.2.
Best regards,
Marcus

You can try to manually turn off the vibration in the sound settings. settings<my device<sounds<vibration intensity
Change the slider of anyone of them that needs to be changed (from what I can tell you just want the notification vibration to be turned off so slide that one all the way to the left).
Let me know how this go.
Thx for your reply. But this will turn off Vibration for all notifications, won't it? I just want to turn it off for Hangouts because I receive lots of messages there and it's pretty annoying to have a phone on your pocket, that is vibrating all the time. I also have an app, that comes along with the OmegaROM, called "Notifications Mangaer" But changes there doesn't take effect. :/

That is the only way I know, other than the notifications manager. I know what you means too, I also hate the annoying vibration all the time and it waste battery life. I got tired of looking for a way around it and just turned off the notification vibration.
Sad to hear... But I won't surrender. This is not acceptable for me. There must be a way to disable vibration on Hangouts even if enabled in system settings. I'll hang on it and let you know as soon as I found a solution . Thx, so far.
Best regards,
Marcus
I have the same problem so I just hav the notifications that I want to vibrate set to vibrate all the time and hangouts not to, then I put my volume at 1.

Thats not bad as an temporarily soliution. It hits me on an idea:
Lets perfection this and create a 1s long, silent track and set it as ringtone. That should work as well.
But even this cant be the final solution. There must be a way to prevent hangouts from vibrating, although global settings force vibration. It worked in the past as well, so why not on above 4.1.2 versions?
Same problem with S5 Mini
I got the same problem on m S5 Mini - it's driving me crazy! Why should I want apps to vibrate in vibration mode, when i don't want the to vibrate in general - when I turn off vibration in the app settings?!
I wake up every night because of notifications from facebook or emails..
I just want whatsapp and phone calls to vibrate!
I came from HTC devices (Desire, Sensation, Sensation XE) and never had this problem before.
It's also annoying that I can't change the notifications volume together with the ringtone volume, but have to seperately adjust the slider
Any solutions without root would be great

Sony Smartband sleep functionality discussion

Hi everyone,
I opened a discussion to understand how Sony Smartband works inside the core.
I don't know if anyone knows exactly, but one functionality that makes me think is the Sleep tracking with Smartband/Lifelog.
I realized that the smartband is capable of capture when we sleep and measure the deep sleep time daily, but anyone know how can it capture this information?
1- I see that the smartband only sees after midnight and so on, some times I sleep at 10pm, but it always marks as 00:00am, is there any way to monitor it more accurate?
2- Another curious feature is, how Smartband knows that I am not in a deep sleep and wake me up during the period I set to wake me up?
Anyone tried to create an app to access these functionalities outside the Lifelog? I would really appreciate that my smartband vibrates in my wrist every time I receive SMS, Whatsapp message and others... and will be best if we can change the vibration for every notification like:
Whatsapp = 1 short vibration
SMS = 1 long vibration
Incoming call = Constant vibrations until I accept or reject the call
Thank you!

Hi,
Yes, I have the app, but in my settings just show to vibrate when someone calls me...
Can you show me the path to vibrate when SMS or Whatsapp message arrives?

It's the second highest option for me, it reads "notifications". Enable that
Edit: Could you please show a screenshot of your Smartband app?

Now I'm curious in how to improve the sleep measure.
Today I woke up at 06:20 but went to sleep again 5 minutes later, it won't mark the 1 more hour that I slept.
I'm not so happy with this measurement
Maybe you have auto night mode on so it switches to day mode and does not recognize sleep any more? Mine works even when I'm awake whole night in night mode it shows that I have been awake.

Hi,
My night mode is set to 11pm to 9am...
So it's strange that smartband captures just my sleep from midnight, and if I sleep until two hours or more after night mode (11am) it register ok.
The problems are :
I cannot wake up and sleep again
It don't mark my sleep before midnight
Example : if I fall asleep during the evening, it's supposed to capture this sleep time too?
Thank you
From my experience the smartband will only log your sleep time while on sleep mode, which you set to every night at the interval of your choosing. In your case from 11 pm to 9 am.
However you can always shift the smartband from day mode to night mode manually by long pressing the smartband button, it will vibrate and activate night mode at any moment during the day. After changing to night mode it will log your sleep cycle no matter the time of the day, as long as you keep it on night mode. And it's not magic either, I've stayed up late watching TV very still and the smart band thought I was "light sleeping" just because it activated night mode (due to time) and I was not moving much!
And for instance the time you woke up at 6, and the smart band switched to day mode you can just long press the button and it will shift the smart band to night mode again, and register the extra hours you sleep.
Hi Adolfo,
Thank you for your tips.
I was testing the sleep feature and I figured out the same of you.
Sometimes I went to bed and spend hours watching TV, and if I stop to turn over, it marks as light sleep.
Thank you again, from now on I can measure better my sleep and some other features.

Can greyscale be turned off in bedtime mode?

I use Bedtime Mode on my Galaxy Watch 4 and can't seem to stop it turning on greyscale mode on my S21 Ultra, I can't find any settings that "sync" the 2 devices and disable i, can anyone shed some light on this please?
Grayscale Mode settings for Bedtime Mode are generally found in Digital Wellbeing, at least on AOSP devices. Since you're using OneOS it may be buried under something else but that's where I would start.
Hope this helps.

Hello, thank you for your reply.
Yes, I have turned it off in Digital Wellbeing on my phone but it still activates when I set it on my watch. I usually turn it on, on the watch, when I go to bed but then when I want to use my phone it's a greyscale screen, I would like find a way of stopping the watch control the phone but I don't think it is possible.
