sorry, I mean without touching the device or any gestures, they just repeat without any input?

If it's like Moto Display in past models, the notifications stop breathing after a bit until you touch the phone again.

On notification have watch vibrate, but keep screen off?

I'm wondering if this is possible, I'd like to keep the vibration notifications coming in, but I'd like to disable the screen on feature when a notification comes in. Any ideas?

No, it isn't.
He still wants to receive the notification on the watch and have it vibrate, just not activate the screen.
This is unfortunately not possible. The amount of control that Google has given us for notifications is absolutely pathetic considering that the entire purpose of this device is to provide notifications.

What's weirder is a lot of android handsets function this way (notification, screen remains off). Why they chose the other way round for the watch, who knows.
I'm bumping this cause I'm curious if anyone's found a work around for this.
I hoped Lollipop would bring this, but apparently it does not (from what I hear). Even if it requires unlocking the thing, installing a custom ROM/build.prop/etc/etc/etc.

[Q] Touch to wake options

Like the Title says, can someone please add a Touch-To-Wake option.
We already have the Ambient Screen and Tilt To Wake Screen options that were introduced in the Android Wear 5.0 update, but for the life of me, I cannot understand why a Touch To Wake option was never included.
Having read through countless posts and threads on the net, it seems to not only be mine but everybody else's bane of their Android Wear experience. It would have to be THE most requested option in the history of Android Wear.
I realize there is Theater Mode, but this just isn't good enough.
We want to be able to have notifications pushed to the watch, we want to have the Vibrate when a notification comes through, we want to be able to tilt/flick the wrist to have the watch turn on........what we don't want is the watch turning on every time it touches a part of your body. It is especially annoying if you are sitting on a table with your arms crossed, or even sitting in a car with your arm crossed over and the screen touches your leg.
Please Please Please add this option in the official Moto360 ROM and release it yesterday.

1) It's already there. Everything you mentioned is already in the stock ROM.
2) Wrong section
3) Release it.... Yesterday?
4) Don't beg people to do things then tell them when you need it done by - it's not your work, it's none of your business when it gets completed.
5) I have yet to see any other threads requesting tap to wake. (Perhaps because it's already there?)

And where would the Touch-to-wake option be exactly ?

Oh. Ignoring the first and last things I mentioned, all of the others still apply, though.
Putting it in theater mode is that bad? Only pressing the button turns it on I use it when I know I am not gonna be able to look at it or I need to take it off so it just stays "asleep"just have your phone vibrate and then you can wake your watch as you please

Yes it is.
Theatre mode doesn't wake the screen up when you rotate the watch.
It doesn't vibrate when a notification comes through.
I would like to have all the features available when the watch is in its normal mode......but without the touch-to-wake option turned on.

Its called theater mode....
You could always just compile your own kernel and remove the function. It honestly wouldn't be that hard. It would just take some research. If you want me to point you in the right direction, I can, but forewarned, it will require some possibly heavy learning depending on your current level.

Yeah, hence why I put this post into the Original Android Development thread. An option like this should be made a standard on all Android Wear devices, especially the Moto360.
I wouldn't have the faintest idea about compiling a kernal and to be honest, have no intention of rooting/modifying my Moto360 (even though I do it for all my phones).
All I wanted was to request that this option be made available, hopefully for the next Android Update because there are a great number of people who are having the same issues I am. Honestly, it is the only option I wished I had since the first time I turned the watch on.

It is THE most frustrating thing ever. There come times when I want to throw it at a brick wall.
Would someone please get this fixed.

I understand that sometimes there are things we may not like BUT this seems like it should be such an easy damn fix.
I know when I'm sleeping this screen goes on and off all night. My arm hits my other arm or whatever... I toss and turn a lot.
I totally agree. I must have this option. No more tap to wake. I like tilt to wake but tap to wake activates on accident all the time. Can't find a solution.
How on earth does touch to wake constantly happen accidently but tilt to wake does not?

The tilt to wake works by the gyro sensor. It just means you might need to give your wrist a bit of a flick to turn the screen on.
What i don't understand is the touch to wake would have to be the most annoying thing for all wearable, and yet the developers refuse to put in the option to turn it off.
even in the upcoming update, there is no mention of including that option.

You mis understood my statement. I was asking how one could find the touch to wake annoying but NOT the tilt to wake. As it is.. I am actually using it just as you describe. I have tilt to wake off and then I can just touch the screen to turn it on. I don't like the tilt to wake on the moto 360, I much prefered pebbles wrist flick to wake up. As for touch to wake, I am not sure why this would be a problem, what is touching your watch that keeps turning it on?
Tilt to wake isn't that much of an issue for me. I actually like it the way it is.
As for the touch to wake; you name it, it's annoying.
- Crossing your arms while sitting at a table
- sitting in the car with your hand on your leg (or between your knees)
- walking past someone and having their hand brush across yours (and accidentally touching the watch)
- crossing your arms
It's not enough that it just turns on but what add to the frustration is that if you aren't cautious, the Google Speak function kicks in and starts doing all sorts of crazy stuff on your phone

Notification pulldown not as responsive during phone calls?

I posted this on Android Central, hoping to see if anyone on here has any information regarding this.
So I've noticed that anytime I'm on a phone call, it requires a little more effort to successfully pulldown the notification shade.
Usually I just quickly flick from the top of the screen with my right thumb (and I mean a very quick flick), but anytime I'm on a call, that same motion doesn't fully register. Instead I see that the notification shade looks like it will come down but it retracts as if it was an accidental gesture. In short, it seems like it wants more effort before being pulled down. Once I slow down my pulldown gesture, then it registers and pulls down.
Funny though, tapping the top of the screen registers.
It's almost as if the sensitivity of the screen drops or they've got some logic that makes you use more effort.
Anyone else have this problem. I can't decide if I should return/replace the phone over this. It's really infuriating though.

I think I have experienced the same thing on the 10 and my M7 as well, but I wouldnt call it an issue just yet as it appears to be intentional.

I'm almost positive it's intentional (as others have noticed it too); nonetheless, any help getting around it would be appreciated.

Muteslider on the side?

Hi
i was thinking of getting the oneplus 3 and i was wondering if the hardware mute slider on the side is annoying? i really like the idea of having it but i know why the iphone has the slider go horizontal instead of vertical like the oneplus 3 because im assuming it might slide in the pocket?
so my question is, does anybody have the problem of having the slider unmute or mute the phone while sliding it into the pocket or not?
cheers

no, my mother had me tested...
I find it annoying.
When sliding the phone into my pocket, the slider gets knocked up to silent mode or DND and I miss notifications.
Dont wear leggings like a woman and u wont face any issue like that
never had a problem like that and its safe to say that i never will
Hard to believe that somebody actually managed to slide the switch while sliding the phone into the pocket.
For me, it the slider is hard to slide and it is also not protruding outside the body of the phone. Till now I have not had it activating by itself.
No issues here either. It hard to move by itself

Just swipe away. I keep getting these notifications as well when I use Assistant features like Hold for me, etc. I didn't find a way to prevent them.
You should be able to hold it and then the option to remove the notification should come up

Yeah that I knew but I want them to stop. It's ridiculous and annoying that I have to do that after every call. Thanks for relying.

See screenshots. Can't modify those notifications per Google lol
I literally came just came here to ask the same thing. They are annoying and can't be stopped because you disable any phone notifications.

It's BS imo.
I think this is it. Google assistant_General_Notifications_View All Phone Notification types_Feedback see screenshots.
Sorry about the out of order screenshots. Tried few times to sort it correctly but no dice.
Edit: Nope....that didn't work. BS
