I switched this option off and don't know how to turn it back on. Smh it came enabled and now I don't know how to turn it back on. For those that don't know what I'm speaking of its when you look at your watch and it comes on automatically

Go to settings and turn it back on.
You can do it via the watch or the phone app.
Also it's not when you're looking at the watch, its when you tilt your arm in a "I'm going to look at my watch" movement.

Mine is very non responsive to the auto on from movement. My gear (original) was way more responsive. I'm toying with returning it it's so bad about coming on automatically..
I have no option on the watch or in the settings in the wear app to turn this off and on either,

This only controls whether the watch is always on in ambient mode. I want to disable the wrist motion from completely turning it on.

And in a perfect world I would like the watch to stay in ambient mode unless I do a gesture like double tap the screen to turn it on.

Then put it in mute. That will disable the gesture.

But then I get no notifications. There's not a way currently to make it just not wake up on wrist gestures, but appreciate you trying.

Hi guys, can someone explain to me two things sony said about new ICS on Sola:
1. Extended Lock Screen - what does that mean, it seams the same to me?
2. Resizable widgets - which ones are they, how to resize them?
Thanx
1. Extended Lock Screen - what does that mean, it seams the same to me?

This has to do with the 'Glove mode usage'. When glove mode is enabled, you can with your finger not touching the screen ( or glove ),unlock and use the phone as normal, without touching it. Floating touch throughout the OS, not just in the browser. And you have this circle to tell you where your finger is pointing. If you lock your phone, and unlock with the bare finger touching the screen, it switches back to normal mode ( even though glove mode is still on ). Lock again, and if you unlock with the finger in the air, glove mode is used
To sum up, when glove mode is on, you can use the lockscreen to switch between using glove mode, and normal touch mode. This helps, as you dont need to go to setting to turn it on and off. If glove mode is off, this doesn't work, which is self-explanatory
2. Resizable widgets - which ones are they, how to resize them?

Press and hold a widget in the homescreen. After you confirm it's place, you get 4 little diamonds on the borders. You can use these to extend it vertically and horizontally. I think it's a feature introduced in the ICS update itself.
DO correct me if I am wrong, or if I missed something. I'm a noob

Oi ! do not bump up old threads which isn't necessary and do not post irrelevant comments. Your Post has nothing to do with what OP Said.
Hey guys.
Just found this free app on the market. It's mostly for the ppl who are using custom roms that lost the ability to use Auto-on/off when you use a flip cover. This app is able to turn off/on the screen with light and/or proximity sensor. So whenever you close the lid, the light is gone, tablet notices and locks. Hope this works for you.

- It's not my app, just a heads-up.

The app works though it leaves an annoying notification item in the tray. Is there a way to get the magnetic function function back? Would that be something cyanogenmod does or we would have to hax back?
Go to "System settings > Apps > Downloaded > IntelliCover 2.0 and then untick "Show notifications", no more notification icon. Hidden thru Android.
- Well, my Nexus 7 2012 had cover on/off built into the CM and AOKP's.. So I reckon once the devs find a way to do it, it will be implemented. As I have said before, I think that more ppl getting the GPE will help a lot on AOSP builds.. More devs, more source code from LG and so on.. I hope more people will pick up one or the other edition of the tablet over the Holidays. Basically, if the devs could do "teh hax", they would have by now I guess. ^^ I'm sure it will come at some point. I'm not very good at that stuff, so I wouldn't even know where to start, sadly. But it will be doable, I'm sure.
Okay lol, I can't use this in dark rooms and gets over sensitive in other cases but for now it will work fine. Thanks!

Lol, damn. I was wondering if it would mistake darkness for pitch black. :/ Well as you said, better than nothing I guess?
Works fine for me too except in very dark room. In this case, I just have to knock on the screen to wake up and it stay awake but it misss a light calibration.
Moreover, In the app, you can switch off Wifi at the same time the screen is off (and Wifi switch on when screen is on, off course) . It's very useful and battery saver I guess..

There is a calibration process for light senser but I I don't it. It says "put your device in your bag/pocket/cover and press the calibrate button above"
Hey dude, if my device is in my pocket or in its cover, I CAN'T press any button.
I tried to press the calibration button before close the cover but now it doesn't work anymore !
Hey guys. When I get a notification my watch doesn't vibrate. It does when I pull down to mute un-mute but not when I get a notification

I'm pretty sure I had to set the app on my phone to vibrate to make the watch vibrate too.
Same here unless I'm just not feeling it. Can't find any settings to change it.
You have to make sure the app on the phone has Vib checked off. I also noticed facebook double vibs but hangouts and gmail dont.
mine was vibrating (softly like every one else's) and then it just stopped. I had the box checked and everything seemed to be in order. I had to do a factory reset on the watch and that fixed it

btw, I was trying to use the Nato watch straps like i did on my pebble, but the vibrations are so weak that I can't use Nato bands and still feel the vibrations. Any one else having vibration issues to this degree?

Yup, vibrations are way to soft or don't happen at all. The pebble was great with this never missed a notification. Hoping they put out some software update.

thanks, that fixed it for me. got the phone on vibrate now, but in the wear-app I chose to mute notifications. Now only my watch vibrates and it works all the time
Hi,
I have just added a "make notifications vibration stronger" feature in last SWApp Launcher Wear version:
https://plus.google.com/+CyrilPreiss0/posts/CUX1DsHCTTw
There are two tasks that need to be done in order to completely silence this thing, and even then, clicking on an audio or video link or entering an app with sound it will still play it loudly through the speakers.
The are 2 icons on the pull down menu , "interruptions" and "sound". Interruptions has 3 options, 1. All interruptions. 2. Priority only. 3. No Interruptions.
In "priority only" mode the phone will still make all sounds when typing and locking or unlocking the phone, it won't silence system sounds unless you also click on the sound icon and put it into vibrate mode.
If you don't want vibration either, you must choose option 3 "no interruptions", this will change the sound icon to show that vibrate is also off (you cannot simply get to the "vibrate off" state just by cycling through the sound options, as there is only an option for sound or vibrate ).
Now even with phone set to "no interruptions", it does not mute the speaker completely. Say you're bored at a meeting and want to play candy crush or your favorite racing game or watch a YouTube video, sound will still play, unless you manually go to volume settings and lower the media volume to zero.
In previous models you could just mute the phone by cycling to silent and no sound came through the speakers except for clock alarms. (The G4 actually has a different issue, the notification and ring volumes are linked and won't allow setting separate volumes for each)

I hear you.
My note 2 has the options you're talking about... it went from sound to vibrate to mute. None of this priority interruptions stuff. Guess it must have changed post jellybean?
Kind of strange to not have a silent....but thanks for mentioning that if I put it on no interruptions I can get rid of the vibrate. I hadn't figured that one out yet.

You forgot the last step of having to change the media volume as well. It's taking something that should be simple and adding 10 unnecessary steps.

That's how all Android 5 phones are sorry you've been behind the technology curve but you can reprogram android and fix it or root and fix it.

lol hold down the volume down then just turn the media down and its muted, actually its easier than the note seeing that the feed back was there unless i turned it off completely. just did it, took me 3 seconds to do i counted lol i dont see where your getting all these setting for, cause thats not what they are for. they are for if your in a meeting and you dont want to know you have a missed call or text till after if your on the phone it figuers you want to know and use the sound why else would you be using an app with sound.

More exactly blame Lollipop. With MM it will be reasonable again.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I dunno about you guys, but I just swipe to the left on the second screen and a speaker icon comes up (along with wifi, flashlight, and camera) and I just click on the speaker icon to mute the phone.
This is not a V10 issue, it's more of a Lollipop "feature". Not sure which Google genius thought that this was a brilliant idea to begin with.
It's an even more clusterf#ck when you have an android smart watch. Before Lollipop, you are able to mute the watch independently of the smartphone. Now they're all tied in, and it's freaking annoying.
Time for an iPhone
This is a severe and game-changing problem, for me. Next phone is an iPhone. No more f**cking around with hack phones (AKA: Google/Android).
You Effed up, google.
As the kernel source released, can someone who is expert on this modify the kernel so that we can use double tap to wake/sleep please?
I think easier option is importing face unlock feature from the Honor V10.
That would be way better, I am ready to donate but can't find any developer
An app that works with little battery drain

You have to turn off all battery saving features and it uses decide admin of course. You set the display settings to the lowest possible in the app itself and you have to set it to be on all the time and you will be impressed. Very reliable. If you set it up to not be on all the time, it will rely on the sensor and a hand wave to wake up the double tap so you can actually double tap to wake your phone. I have found the sensor on the mate 10 pro to be mighty picky with this app and others once the screen is turned off... So I find it much simpler to just leave the AOD feature turned on in the app itself as I said with the display settings at their lowest and battery use is excellent.
If has great features like turning on text notifications or most any notifications you want but you won't be able to see them with the screen so dim so I don't use it for that. I use it strictly for the convenience of double tap to wake.
If you can fiddle with settings so doing a hand gesture over the sensor wakes this app, you can set the app to peek mode instead of always on and set those display settings as bright as you'd like to see notifications on this apps screen. If you do figure that out, let me know.
