ringer on phone randomly goes silent - Moto 360

when i set only the watch to buzz when the phone is set to silent.
i'd love to keep my phone on silent during work so there's not this loud obnoxious vibrating sound, but still get notified through my watch when i get a message or something. it's so annoying and i've missed a few calls because of it.
just thought you guys should know if this happens to you.

Do you have mini launcher installed? I think it can change phone settings too

no i don't, i've never heard of mini launcher before

My Moto 360 also seems to randomly silence my phone (Nexus 5, rooted, but running stock). It's rather annoying.
So far, the only thing I've found that might be related is when the watch and the phone lose connection to each other, but it has happened at other times as well.
I do have mini launcher installed, but I see no settings on it that might have this effect. I've also double checked the Android Wear app to see if there's something I did in there, but I don't see anything.
Over the weekend, I may reset the watch and see what happens afterwards.

Phone Notification Delay

Is anyone else having a delay in phone notification? By the time my watch starts vibrating to notify me of a phonecall I have already missed the call on my phone. That's irritating. One of the reasons I got the watch was to let me know when my phone starts ringing. My emails and texts seem to be notifying me just fine. It's just the phone notification.
Ideas?
I have only a small delay like 0,5s. So I think this is not normal. Are you connected by bluetooth or maybe by wifi?
I'm connected by BT. Like i mentioned all of my other notifications are working just fine. It's just the phone notification. I wiped my watch and reloaded everything so i am waiting to see if that fixed anything.

I have this at times, though not always. I also get it where after I answer the call it continues to vibrate on my watch. hangouts messages do take a few seconds to push to the watch though. that said, this behavior has been consistent with my zenwatch, smartwatch 3 and my hwatch so I think it's just inherent in the platform

Same here.
I just tested a call and it was about .5 to 1.0 seconds which is considered very good by my taste. But I did notice SMS and Hangouts does take a few seconds.
Maybe they set the priority like that on purpose.
Same problem for me...

I am experiencing the same exact problem with my Nexus 6P - no amount of resetting seems to have fixed the problem. This has been extremely frustrating.
Anyone else figure this out without having to warranty the watch. Mine is a good 3 seconds behind with a Nexus 6. The call can go to voicemail before the watch vibrates.

I'm hoping with the new update to Wear announced today that it will fix the delay. Hoping....

it has nothing to do with the watch, I've got a sw3 as well that behaves the same with my 6p. previously I had a zenwatch, and it had the same delay with my n6 and later the 6p
I believe it's the android wear app itself. If you can find the AW 1.3 apk from apkmirror or the like, you should see a difference. Hopefully the new OS update will help alleviate the issue.
Same here with HW Watch Active. Phone get instant Message since Doze Settings on Marshmallow were edited, Watch still delayed...
I am having problems as well. Sometimes I would get notifications on my watch, other times the notifications would be delayed. I just tried and I am not even getting calls to my watch. I had to perform a factory restart twice now in order to get it to work. Why is that? I have a Huawei watch sync with a Huawei Mate 9. I would figure they both should work seamlessly.
any advice would be appreciated

Did you find a solution? I am experiencing the same issue, the incoming calls are not working and I also cant therefore receive calls directly on the watch. I am using an updated Huawei Watch with the HTC One M8, which is also updated to Android 6.0, with the latest version of Android Wear.
Cheers

The incoming calls seem to have fixed itself. However, what really solved the issue was that I had to make sure, on my Huawei phone, Android wear was set to close after the screen lock. I made sure that Android wear was always running in the background. Not sure if there is a similar setting on the HTC One M8, but making sure android wear was not in any power saving mode solved the problem for me.
Hope it help,

Marshmellow update problems

So I was hesitant to proceed with the update since my 360 has been working so well and the battery life increased tremendously when I got my Note 5.
After a few days of the update pestering me I decided to go for it.
Now there are 2 things that are very annoying.
The first, whenever the screen comes on, there is a slight delay in the watch face.
It lights up with a black face and the hands are white, then it switches to whatever face I have and respected dials.
I'm not using facer or anything, just the stock moto Dials 2. This is very annoying and makes the watch seem slow.
The second thing is that the watchface doesnt turn on when I receive texts anymore.
The vibrate function still works, but the screen won't light up.
Is there a setting that changed making this the default? I would prefer the screen turn on when I receive texts.
Thanks
Make sure 'card previews' turned on from the android wear app, other wise your experience with the faces sounds buggy! A factory reset would help on that.
Factory reset doesnt work, this also happens to me since the update, looks like this is a firmware problem.
Damnit, I wish I didn't update.
Battery is also noticeably worse.

Same exact two issues here and I'm shocked I haven't seen more people complain about them. The first one is a nuisance but the second one completely devalues the purpose of the watch making it useless. Not seeing the text/email/etc... and only having a vibration on your wrist is pointless. I could keep my phone on vibrate in my pocket if I wanted to be notified of a new text/email without seeing the actual message. Please post a fix if one is found!

The first issue is because the watch now comes on in ambient mode first. Even if you don't use ambient mode. It sucks. Luckily i use Watchmaker for my watch face so I went in and made all the parts (hands date etc...) to be visible in ambient mode.
I have noticed that if I wait a couple of seconds the notification does appear on my watch screen but it is after the vibrate, not immediate. I thought it wasn't showing up at first too. Still, I wish it was quicker as I look right away.

I went back to using Facer for my watchface and the delay is gone.
Also did they completely remove the restart option? Now it's just power off, and then press and hold the side button.
I'm experiencing both issues as you do on 6.0.1.
Also yes, reboot option is gone from update.
The renamed reset with "unpair from watch". Not gone, just to mess with us.

I've also noticed that theater mode does not work after the mm update (unrooted, ota). I usually set it to theater mode at night to avoid burn in and just because I don't want it on all night. Now, it looks like it's blacked out, but when I wake up, the charging screen is lit up. Anyone else getting this?
I have the exact same issue after the update. Theater mode will not keep the display off if the watch is being charged. Off the charger, it works as expected. Quite an annoying bug.
If I turn ON the theatre mod with double press the power button before I put the clock on the charging dock, after that screen continue charge with screen off.
For me it's work.
Can anyone try it?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
Just tried that - doesn't work for me. Screen turns off but once I put it on the charger, it comes back on after a few seconds. I'm watching it and it's still on a few minutes later.
Same here. Screen always turns back on
I'm getting the first bug the OP mentioned havn't noticed the second one though.
However the first bug is annoying enough, hopefully there'll be a quick patch.
Little patience, update to Marshmallow is great.
Here's what I mean with screen off when charge:
So in the morning until you take it out of the dock and go to work.

Sorry I read wrong...but wouldn't you just use the power off option and then turn back on to reboot?

And once again my notification settings are ruined!

Getting really frustrated with the constant changing of how Android Wear notifications are handled.
When I first got my 360 the Do Not Disturb settings on the watch and the phone were completely independant. Neither would affect the other. It was perfect as I could actually make them do exactly what I wanted.
Then in 5.0? they linked them and ruined it. There was no way to have my watch vibrate without my phone also vibrating.
Then when my phone got Marshmallow it worked perfectly again if I put my phone in Alarms Only mode. The watch would vibrate and the phone wouldn't.
Now that my watch has updated to 6.0, the watch no longer vibrates or lights up.
Useless. Again.
Is there seriously no way to get notifications on my watch only!?
Please note that I do not want to use the "Mute phone alerts" setting in the Android Wear app, as it cannot be automated like Do Not Disturb settings can. My phone is set to automatically go into Alarms Only mode when I am at work or sleeping at night.
Yeah I agree with you, I was very disappointed when I updated to marshmallow.
There was a similar complaint on the Google product forums and the Google representative said it's working as intended.
They directed everyone to go to the android wear app and submit feedback about the issue.
I did, but any say I am optimistic Google will change anything.

Notification sounds stop working randomly - pixel XL android 8.1

So this just started a few days ago, I noticed that the notification sounds stopped working. Locking the phone stops making a sound and all notifications are silent. Watching videos and incoming calls are audible however.
A reboot fixes the issue, but it returns soon after.
I didn't install any new apps recently. Updated some, but nothing new.
Any ideas?
Same thing happened to me upon upgrading to 8.1 If I reboot it solves it for a little, but shortly afterwards no notification sounds again. Not sure if anyone has found a solution or are having the same issue?
Same exact problem here. Very annoying. I'm thinking of trying a factory reset.
If you do a factory reset let us know if it works, I've been thinking the same, if I do I'll let you know.
I thought I was the only one having this issue. Randomly comes on and off.

I checked the sound settings after updating to 8.1. All of them had changed to silent or something else you couldn't hear. I reset every sound, alarm, ringtone, notifications, etc.
I have to do this after every update. This is due to the fact, that I use the factory image to update.
So, I think this happens when I use a bluetooth device.
I notice that after I disable Bluetooth after using a headset for a bit, that the sounds stop. Anyone else can test this theory out?
You may be on to something. I use the bt with my car everyday. Noticed the same thing.

After 8.1 on my pixel XL notification sounds have stopped working. I determined that it has something to do with the bluetooth. After connecting bluetooth and then turning it off that is when the problem happens. But, oddly enough, notifications sounds do work again when bluetooth is turned back on and connected....but stop again after bluetooth is turned off. A reboot fixes the problem but it happens again once bluetooth is used and turned off again. Please fix it Google.
Same for me but I only lose the Google Voice text message notification and a reboot fixes it.
It happened to me connected and not connected to Bluetooth. It would also happen to calls as well, missed some important phone calls because of it.
I am having the same problem. I'll check to see if BT connectivity is the trigger.
Same thing happening to me.. I use bluetooth daily too.
I am having the same issue. Any fixes? Has Google acknowledged?
Still happening with me. I have to reboot every few days to fix it. Very annoying.
Happening to me as well, specifically for text notifications. Sometimes the sound is triggered, sometimes it isn't.
I rebooted more than a week ago and it hasn't returned and I use a Bluetooth headset and Bluetooth in my car daily. I haven't gotten the January security patch, wondering if they slipped a fix in there?
Sent from my BTV-W09 using Tapatalk
I was having the same issue. I think it started after one of the security patches. I contacted google's support. they had me put it in safe mode and then see if it comes back. I did that, and it seemed to not break in safe mode. In theory, that means it is not a google issue, (Im sure they will play it that way) but Im not sure if it is caused by bluetooth, or something else. Anyone having the issues using a smart watch connected to it?
This is very annoying. I am still having this issue that started shortly after 8.1. Notification sounds stop working. A reboot fixes is it but the problem comes back shortly thereafter,,sometimes within 24 hours. Interestingly, the notifications still work while bluetooth is connected...not sure what to make of that. I am loathe to do a factory reset but if anyone has done it with success please let me know. Thank you.
Same thing here. I'm contacting Google regarding the issue. I've noticed a similar symptom since I've been using an android watch:
my watch gets notifications on time but my phone doesn't react. When i clear the notifications from my watch, my phone sets off multiple notifications in a row. Example: text, text, email, email, email, email, email, text, calendar. It's very annoying.
Now my phone makes no notifications. I've changed all notification sounds to full volume, I turn off bluetooth completely and my phone only vibrates for calls and doesn't make notification sounds or turn on the display as they come in.
While connected to a bluetooth device, the notifications come through that device but nothing or vibrate only on my phone.

3.5mm Audio Issue Since Pie Update (Audio Stutter)

Hey all,
I have an annoying issue since the Pie update and wondering if anyone else has the same problem and knows a fix. So, since the Pie update I have noticed that whenever listening to audio (doesn't matter what app) using a 3.5mm set of headphones or AUX in my car that when I do any task on the phone such as unlock the screen, lock the screen, press the home button, open the app drawer, close the app drawer, slide the notifications pane down, basically anything I get a very quick stutter in the audio. It is very annoying and I cannot figure out why it's doing it. Is anyone else experiencing this since the Pie update? It never did it prior to Pie. Thanks guys.

I noticed that but it was caused by my bluetooth trying to connect to the radio.. In my AMG GT R I keep getting the stuttering too but it seems to stop when I turn the bluetooth off. The radio actually wasn't even connected to the bluetooth at the moment which I thought was weird and kind of confused me but then I realized that I had my obd scanner plugged in because I was doing some pulls and checking out some of the sensors, fuel trims and the boost so I don't know if it was from that being connected or what but it still caused the music to stutter. I'm planning on going back to Oreo anyway all this sh!t isn't worth this trouble just for Pie..

What else don't you like about it? The only thing for me is that I have to manually set my Notifications to My Phone instead of my bluetooth every time I connect it. That one is just stupid. Most people don't go through the day with their BT Ear Buds stuck in their ears all the time

Well the one thing I used my phone for the most was music during workouts and jogs and I used to only have to turn the music only half way up but it's like a whisper at half way up now and the further I turn it up the worse the sound gets and then like one or 2 steps before maximum volume it just cuts out completely no sound and the bluetooth sounds like crap in the car now it's actually better if I just put the music in the cars radio storage instead. The phones battery also doesn't seem to make it the entire day anymore and it did before the update. I also have to keep going into settings and changing the default USB connection setting otherwise it doesn't like connecting to the computer anymore unless I switch it from MTP to charging and back again. I suppose a factory reset would fix most of the issues maybe but I have no interest in doing that and having to re-set everything back up. Oh and the notification problem you have I have also and yeah that one's unbelievably stupid!!

You might want to try that Reset, because my volume is really good and even going past the volume warning, it stays clear. I don't have bluetooth in my Truck so I Can't test that one, but I will agree battery is worse. I whole day without charging at work - I use my phone for work, btw, and I'm down to about 35%. On Oreo I'd be closer to 50%. And the computer connect, I don't have to change MTP, but I DO have to toggle Debugging on and off most times

You know what else I noticed since you said something about the volume warning? I don't get that warning anymore either. Not even after a reboot because I have the phone set up to reboot itself 4 times a week at 4am in the morning. Is that volume warning still even on the phones anymore?
I still get the volume warning on Bluetooth at least.

I still get it after a reboot or connecting to a different device, like from my BT to my surround system.
Maybe you should try to flash it again?? Clear and backup everything, do a factory reeset, then flash it
