How can stop reminder from waking the phone?

I can make the SMS stop waking the phone via advanced config that is stock on my current ROM.
I want to keep my phone from coming out of sleep mode when I get a reminder. When it is in my pocket, I do not want it to wake up untill I take it out and push the button.
Thank you,
Jeff

Ditto. Me too.

anyone found a solution ?

I'm a bit confused about what's being asked... it sounds like you're saying you don't want a reminded to remind you... you just want it to tell you that you missed it when you check your phone two hours after your appointment. Would you also, perhaps, like an alarm clock that doesn't make any noise when the alarm goes off?

it should not wake the device, as in "turn on the display, and react to touch" , so it goes bananas in the pocket.
It should play a sound, and/or vibrate and/or flash light - as configured in notifications.
- just don't activate the display...
in other words; same as with new SMS or Email notification..

Me too.
I have the same issue. I have my phone synched with my work computer (outlook). I would like the reminders to appear on the computer only.

We need alarm to work when phone is off. Vote!

Hi guys,
If you really need this option, like I do, please vote here.

What? Why?

I disagree.

Not really sure why you'd need that. Just put it in airplane mode if you're concerned about draining the battery.

Because some people use their phones as alarm clock every morning and we don't use our phones while we are asleep. So why should phone be on all night?

Why? You don't want more features in your WP? If WP wants to be big player he should offer more than big 2.

I can do that, but that's just a workaround for something that should be simple as button press. Plus, it still drains ~5% or more. Main reason is that we don't use our phones at night while we are asleep and most of us probably don't want to be disturbed by phone calls, messages or emails at night. So why not just turn off the phone with simple button press and still have alarm clock on. It's not that battery last very long on WP devices.

Yes, I miss this feature from my Nokia. Blackberry also has this feature.

Are there even alarm apps that work in the background yet? The one I use, GAlarm, doesn't -.-

Alarm, when the phone is off, is just like air condition when car engine is off. You can't use air condition if you dont turn your engine on. Just live vit it, you don't have other choice. This is smart phone not Nokia 3310!

Blackberry is also smartphone and if they figure out how to do this I guess other guys could too.

I don't want my phone to be able to turn its self on. Plus if I turn it off that means I dont want the alarm going off. If people genuinely wanted this then they would vote for it, you don't need to convince us.

Well today i was late for work. Without a good reason my phone went off last night.
No alarm woke me up! Just because this feature is missing. It would come in handy if there was just an option to wake up the phone when alarm goes off.

I wonder if you're confusing "off" with "sleep"?
"Off" is just that: no power, no nothing. How can an alarm ring when there's no power to allow it to ring?
As for Blackberry doing this...again, are you sure the phone wasn't in a low-powered state, like "sleep"?

I think you know nothing about "Off". If when we turn off the phone, there is "no power, no nothing" like you said, why when we turn it on again, the clock is still correct? Even if you remove the battery for a while, the phone is still work, cause there is a backup battery (at least a large capacitor) in the phone, to keep some basic function running when the phone is off.
I agree with Klikerko, cause some users are used to turn off the phone while they are asleep, airplane mode or turn off, we should have the right to choose which one to use, like Symbian.

Symbian users are too familiar with how the alarm clock works.
The phone will start itself and stay in the clock mode, mean it will give you two option:
Snooze + Turn off the alarm ( for that day only) and then it will ask you either to turn on the phone or not.
Well... it is kinda annoying with you have to press twice to turn off the alarm and shut the phone off/on...
I really would rather to have my phone run by me all night long with the charger. It doesn't hurt. And Windows Phones will turn themselves on if you plug in the charger, no matter what... so it is kinda pointless to ask for that.
BTW, it is a nice feature to have, but it doesn't hurt me if MS doesn't add it.

Agreed... I cant see the need for an alarm when the phone is off... Unless it turned itself off, in which case you got more serious problems.
I want an alarm program to work in the background, AND be able to have its own volume settings... I don't like having to remember to switch on the alarm software, make sure its active, then adjust the volume ever time I want to go to bed... especially if its been a "good" night. The WP stock alarm software has too few options, and switches itself off after a predetermined set of time (~5 mins is it?)... What is the good of an alarm clock that turns itself off?

Then I stand corrected, as this isn't unlike a PC with its CMOS battery (otherwise PCs wouldn't be able to keep the current time without having an Internet connection to connect to an NTP server).

With off, like the battery removed, This would be a dumb request and I would not vote for it. How would an app work if there was no power to it ?
As for the built in alarm app, it's simple and I have NEVER missed a meeting because of it. I use it everytime I travel and dont even touch the in-room alarm clocks. No need to update this.

No need to change that
The alarm works fine as it is for me: I put my phone in silence mode every evening and leave is charging. It always woke me up when needed.
Given how much else needs to be done or enhanced on the Windows Phone platform, I don't think this request should be a priority.
Cheers,
Stephen

There are oddities with WP7, but not life-altering. Won't charge in 'off' mode. WiFi sync works only while charging. Alarm subsystem functions only while in sleep/awake mode.
For alarm clock -- airplane mode, plug into charger, sleep mode (via power button or just set it down on it's face).
In the morning, alarm goes off, hit dismiss, hold back button pulls up airplane mode, flick it off, and start button takes me back to homescreen, fully charged and ready to go. Unlike WM5/6 where the alarm subroutine was unreliable, WP7 is refreshingly stable and reliable for my needs.
Cheers

[Q] No alarm-sound after deep-sleep?

since a few weeks i have the problem, that when i set an alarm and go to bed, the alarm-notification will show up the next morning, but i dont hear any sound. the phone is in airplane- and vibrate-only-mode at night, but the setting that alarmsound should be played even while in silent/vibrate-only is ticked.
When i set the alarm to test it in the near future, it always works as it should (with the same settings (airplane+vibrateonly)).
I'm on cm7.1 final with lordmodue-v8.0 kernel and using the default clock-app with an mp3 put into the media-folder on my sd.
Did anyone experiance similar problems before? I cant remember any significant changes to my phone before this problem first occured.

I did the same thing as you once, the alarm indeed did not ring. Solution: Change the profile form Vibrate/Silent --> Normal. it worked for me

Thx for the respons, but didnt work for me

Additionaly i noticed, that when i charge or have charged absolutly no sound is produced...no alarm, no ring and not even a voicecall (the other person seems to her me, but i can not hear them). Damit

Have you seen an app called "volume control" from the market? There's an option to change alarm volume, it might have somehow been turned down?

The volume level itselfe is definitivly not changed, this shouldnt be the problem...

perhaps you are a deep sleeper like my sis? xD

Haha, i wish it would be that easy. I have a light sleep and have always wake to the alarms befor this problem.
i discovered, that when i change to silent and back to loud after charging sounds work as normal. I"m gona try this with tasker for the alarm, maybe it'll help too.

Still didnt work
switched to black ice 1.23....everything serms to work fine now

New Features Requested

Hey guys.
I just contacted Motorola to request some new features be added to the stock ROM (which in my opinion) would be crucial to increasing the functionality and battery levels of the watch.
Don't know if any Motorola Dev's/Engineers are following this site but just in case, I'd love to have these features asap.
Please add more if there is anything I have missed.
1. Have the ability to turn Vibrate OFF while still receiving notifications on the watch
Why ? Because I have my phone in my pocket constantly, and my phone vibrates when a new notification comes up. I dont need my pocket and my wrist vibrating together.
Also, Increase battery life.
2. Need to have the ability to turn off notifications for certain apps. For Example, I want the watch to vibrate when an SMS or Email comes through, but turned off for Messenger, kik, and everything else.
Also, by having this feature, Im sure a developer could write up a small app to install onto the phone which would tell the watch which notifications to vibrate for, and which to just display on the screen.
And again, this will save battery life by turning the vibrate motor off for (in my case) 90% of the notifications coming through.
3. Have a slider to control the level of vibration or the burst of vibration.
Why ? This adds a level of customization to the watch.
Also, I see people complaining that the watch doesn't vibrate enough while in my case, its vibration time is too long. By having the ability to shortening the vibrate time, you also save battery life (if not by much).
By having all 3 features embedded into the ROM, On the average user, it should increase battery life by almost double (if not more).

Pretty neat ideas. I have one id like to add lol. I want to be able to turn off motion detection for the screen. I had this feature on my galaxy gear and it gave me an day and half EXTRA battery with it turned off. We could get similar battery life (3-4 days with average use,custom rom too) if this was disabled. I had to always press the button to turn the screen on to check the time, but notifications still lit the screen up when they came in. Totally worth an extra 24-36 hours of battery . However i like the idea of being able to tap the screen to wake the moto360.
So basically I want motion detection disabled but leave tap to wake on.

Can't you turn off notifications for certain apps in the Android Wear app (mute apps)?

Number 2 can already be done you can go to the Android Wear App in Setting Click Block App Notification then Pick Whatever App u want to mute
Oops didn't see the last comment

I like this idea because sometimes it's hard getting the watch to light up with motion, so turning off that feature for when it does work would be fine.

In my case, I have the phone vibration turned off and rely on the watch to deliver notifications.
My one and only important feature request is the ability to create my own canned response list.
Of course, official support for 3rd party keyboards would be nice as well.

Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode
I'm not sure if they intend to include Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode in their Lollipop release. Google chose not to include peripheral mode for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, although it is included with the newer Nexus 6 and 9. But for Android Wear, Peripheral Mode would enable a huge number of new and useful apps, that would significantly improve the usefulness of the watch. The simplest one would be a beacon to help you find your watch when you forgot where you left it, but enabling service solicitation would open a whole new world of applications for the watch.

#1 has worked since day one.
I get a notification, my phone remains silent, the watch vibrates. It's in the AW app settings.

according to me, since the watch has a inbuilt mic, a feature can be added that when someone calls, answer from the watch, just speak that you'll call back later & disconnect. this will be helpful if you are driving... no need to pick the phone ...

Instead of swiping to answer the call, You can just swipe upwards to reject call with similar messages sent automatically

Good list, I have one more. Allow the setting of alarms for only certain days. For example, I would like to be able to set an alarm at 7 PM that goes off only on weekdays and not weekends, as I use this to let me know when I can get into the car pool lane when I am driving back home from work. That alarm is useless on the weekend, so no need for it to be turned on every day.

I am still wondering which watch support Bluetooth peripheral?
As I know LG G watch 5.0.1 do not support it.
if (mBluetoothAdapter.isMultipleAdvertisementSupported()) {
will return false.

on mine the whole notification thing is messed up..
sometimes it will vibrate and pop up when i get a text or email.. but then sometimes it doesnt do anything at all.
hardly ever, does it vibrate when i get a fb IM.. but it pops up and the screen lights up.
maybe they should fix it first before adding anything.

Pretty sure vibration is app dependent. Example, 8sms. You can change the vibration length in the settings. If you set your phone to 1000ms vibration when you get a text your phone AND watch will vibrate for 1000ms(or whatever vibration pattern you set) To further my point I would NEVER feel the vibration of Snapchat updates because it was so short. I'm using xposed(gravity box) to change snapchats vibration length and I feel the notification on my watch and phone every time.
I agree 100% google should have a universal setting to be able to change vibration,notification, and screen light up settings.

I use Sleep as Android and it'll do exactly what you're looking for - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep&hl=en
I've got mine set up to just buzz my watch first, then a failsafe that goes off on my watch and phone.

Ooooo looks brilliant!!! Do all the other features like sleep tracking etc drain the battery much then?

It used to drain your battery totally, but dev recently got it working excellent instead.
Now our sw3 is one of the most battery efficient watch
To run the app on, battery "drains" around 17% over night, which is great since it various sensors are being used.
Regarding vibration on the watch in general: I think it's as easy as, if an app generates vibration alerts on your phone, it'll generate these on the watch too.

I just got the SW3 yesterday. I'm trying to get my alarms to sync, found this an tried Sleep as Android. However, it seems no matter what settings I use, my watch only buzzes once very briefly for the alarm while it goes off as normal on my phone. As if just a notification that an alarm is going off. Is this just how it works? Any ideas?
I followed the "instruction" chapter on wearables to enable Smartwatch in the app and enabled the vibration (Smartwatch) from start option, but I can't find any other real set up options or instructions.

I made two alarms - One with the phone vibrating / making noise, and the watch vibrating, then one set ~5 min before that, set to silent, and disabled vibration (so the phone does nothing), and set the Vibrate (Smartwatch) to "From start" as well.
When the first alarm goes off, mine buzzes once briefly at the time of the alarm, and then once again maybe 30 seconds later, then it starts getting more frequent after that. When I just went to check what my settings were, I also noticed there's an option to start the watch vibration "before" the alarm - though I'm not sure how much before the alarm "before" is, since it doesn't seem to be configurable, but that may alleviate my use of two alarms.
Hope that helps!

now u can install on any android and the alarm appear on smartwatch , to dismiss or postpone
