Question Automatic Driving Mode Do Not Disturb Stopped Working - Google Pixel 6

I'm on a stock Pixel 6 (has the 2nd Feb update) purchased from Google. My Driving Mode DnD settings are:
Behavior=Turn on DnD
Turn on Automatically=When driving is detected (none of the Bluetooth stuff is enabled)
Up until recently the feature which puts your phone automatically into DnD mode worked with reasonable reliability. Would startup within a minute of driving. The past several weeks it never goes into this mode automatically anymore. Typically when I'm in the car, the phone is set to WiFi=Off, usually BT=Off and unless I need GPS, location is also off. I've also tried it with location on and it still doesn't work.
I've had this feature work on my Pixel 3 with these same settings and system features set in the same way for years.
Any ideas? Are other people having this problem as well?

Just to update... have the April update and the DnD Driving Mode problem persists. The only thing I've found is that after a reboot it works again. And then a day or two later its broken again.

[Q] What's the best sound/profile scheduler for my situation?

Hi.
On my old Samsung Fascinate, I used to use ToggleSettings, but apparently that was discontinued and doesn't work at all on my new Galaxy S3...
Here's what I need:
In short, I need ALL sounds and vibrations EXCEPT phone calls (and maybe the alarm clock if possible) to automatically be turned off at a specified time every evening. My wake-up time is different on many days, so I need to be able to turn them all back on manually without it disabling the automatic quiet mode in the evening.
What I used to do with the previous program was to turn off all Syncing - no Syncing, no email sounds.
I tried Profile Scheduler, and it's a nice program, but it has a few limitations that don't work for my purposes - it will buzz at every profile change, it let a calendar notification through when all sounds were supposed to be off (except alarm - I figured alarm was clock, not calendar, maybe I'm wrong there...), and when I manually turn Night mode off in the morning whenever I get up, it disables the schedule to turn Night mode back on later...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm in the same situation as you now with my HTC One. I've moved from an iPhone where the DND service works exactly as you described above. Profile Scheduler does not do the trick. I guess it's not a good sign that this has sat idle for so long!
I ended up using Llama.
After some tricking around, I figured out what I needed.
I have Night Mode as an Event - it turns off syncing (no email sounds) and enables the Profile Night where most sounds are turned off.
I'm not 100% sure that the phone whitelist works, but I haven't really needed it lately.
Also, I setup a folder on my Home screen with shortcuts to my Night Mode EVENT (not the Profile) and Day Mode.

Phone randomly goes into DND mode, not sure if watch or phone related

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.

AUTO disconnecting

Hello,
Have any of you had a problem of auto disconnection with the application? I have already restored the factory settings several times and the problem still occurs maybe one of you had such a problem and could advise me how to deal with it, I don't get any notifications, which starts to irritate me
Regards
what device (model and ROM version) and what phone? Without any info about your setup it's very hard to try to help...
Anyway, the most common causes to connection issues are other app that may conflict with Amazfit app or kill it while in the background (check your phone settings) and Bluetooth/WiFi conflict. To test the later, disable all WiFi, put phone in Airplane mode then turn only Bluetooth on and see if connection gets better.
I have Stratos A1619 with PolishROM my phone is Huawei Mate 10 lite, but on any kind of ROM that problem occurs
Put your phone in Airplane mode and turn on only Bluetooth, make sure Amazfit app is open and running, confirm that watch is connected then move watch away from the phone. How far can you go without disconnecting? If it disconnects after just 30-50cm then most probably it's a hardware issue. But I'd recommend that you go entirely stock to test these things, it's hard to pinpoint anything using modified ROM.
Heey, you have options in that place where you can uninstall app, battery saving mode or optimization - sth like that. I have stratos and note9 and i have the same problem. Watch seems like have connection (top options at top left symbol phone with tick that means - connected to phone). But phone is saying disconnected. What helps - turn in airplane mode in watch, wait few seconds and turn airplane mode off.
But as i was saying - check battery optimization options and turn that function off in phone. If you are from Poland then write to me PM - i try to explain this in out native language

Stratos ROM 2.3.2.8 Silent Time Not Working

Good Evening,
I'm fairly new to the Amazfit Stratos but up to the last ROM update all was fine.
Since then my Silent Time settings are not being honoured.
I have them set from 22:00 to 07:00.
For example at 22:05 the setting is not activated and the watch will disturb me with notifications.
If I go into settings and toggle the Silent Time off/on, the Silent Tim becomes active.
However, at 07:00 Silent Time is not deactivated.
Again going into settings and toggling off/on causes the Silent Time to deactivate but again come 22:00 the setting stays off.
Anyone experiencing this? Its really annoying as I can no longer wear in bed in case I get a notification and it wakes me up.
I have tried a factory reset and setup things again. Still no joy.
Seemed OK under older ROM before 2.3.2.8 last week.
Any help appreciated.
Did you try the classic "unpair then pair again, reboot both watch and phone" yet?
Thanks for taking time to reply. Yes. Complete factory reset and app reinstall. Still no joy.
Think it’s the phone ROM itself as the Silent Time does not kick in or out when time comes.
I have reset and tested various Silent Times tonight and it now seems intermittent. Have one active now and will see if it deactivates in morning and reactivayes tomorrow night.

[STRATOS] Auto DND not working

Hi, I've got an amazfit stratos on the latest firmware version. I've got auto dnd set up to start at 23.30 and finish at 07.00. The only problem is, it mostly never starts. Some times it starts, but then it doesn't disable itself at 7.
If I enable it manually, even if I'm inside the dnd period, since I did it manually now I gotta disable it manually as well. The only way to make it work (when I find out it's disabled or enabled) is to go to the watch's settings, and modify the auto dnd time by like a minute up or down. Then it enables / disables itself according to whether I am inside or outside of the time period. The following evening it does the same and I gotta do the same.
It even has waken me up in the middle of the night.
I'm getting tired of it. I use amazmod as well and I've got it set up to follow the watch's dnd situation, but since the watch doesn't go into dnd, amazmod keeps sending me notifications.
Anything I can do?
I have the same issue with it. My workaround is disable and enable auto DND, something more or less that you do

No fix then. It's just that I've never seen anyone else complain about it so I thought it must have been a fault with mine. Thanks.
