Privacy mode for messages - LG G Watch

Is there currently a way to set the watch to NOT turn the screen on when I get a notification?

Doesn't "muting" the watch do that?

Yeah it does, but I think he wants it to show up normally when you activate the watch. I wouldn't mind that

Yeah. I'd like to receive the notification without the screen turning on. Just a vibration.

I would totally love this as a mod. I'd pay for it too. Just vibrate when it comes and let me double tap to wake it when I'm ready. That way strangers can't see it

Have you played with Facer at all? You can tell Facer not to display notification cards at all. I haven't played with that, so I don't know if it still vibrates (assume so).

and if you blocks msg app
and using only wear mesenger app?
i think it should work

This is a standard setting on android wear on your phone. My G watch only vibrates when i get notifications and dont light up until i look at it or touch it.
Under android wear you can also select which apps notifications to block from going to your phone.

My phone screen doesn't turn on when I get a notification, it only powers on if I touch it.
In fact I would like it to turn on automatically if a notification arrives, what you don't want lol.

Any idea how to make the screen turn on when notifications appear? It used to before I updated to 5.0

Phone Keeps Entering Lockscreen on Busy Call - Help

i'm on absolution 3.7. how can i stop my phone from entering the lockscreen when a call is busy? when a call is busy, the phone goes to the lockscreen. how do i make it enter the dialpad instead?
I believe in the phone/Settings and should be an option on where to exit after call, at least there is on my IncS/ICS-4.0.4:thumbup:

hi, TheCrow.. can you tell me where in the phone settings i can do this? i cant find it. thanks.
On your phone go and push the phone icon and the dial/touch pad will be than at the bottom of the screen you have the 3 small touch horizontal lines that's your menu option, than after you touch that while in the phone dial pad you will see Settings and maybe 2-3 options down it asks something like where to exit to after phone hangs up so let me know if you find it ok

i think youre referring to the setting, 'return to dialer after call'. i checked and unchecked that option and it does nothing. it goes back to the lockscreen. but i noticed something interesting. when i call a busy number and i dont have the phone to my ear (screen is on), the call returns to the dialer. but when i have it to my ear (screen is off), then take it off my ear (screen is lit again), thats when it goes to lockscreen. theres got to be a way to edit a file to fix this sh'it, like, disable the lockscreen when the phone is on your ear (screen is lit).

yeah... absolutely.. how do we begin this? i'd like to 'star' it, like you said. what must we do first?
You should go through a recording of one run, say about 20mins or so while at same time performing acts that you feel made the issues and than when you go back to look at the record just look for 'error' areas in usually red color than take a screen shot of the highlighted error lines than post the screen shot and maybe we or others can look into it

Screen Notification Issue

Whenever I receive new message/whatsapp/email/facebook/etc., my screen doesn't lights up to show me the notifications but it only makes the notification sound. Is there any way to turn on the screen when notification received?

It' s not an iPhone that's the reason why you have a notification light BTW it saves battery too. What a nonsense to turn the screen on each time you get a notification. Are iPhones still do that? I don't think that stock sense can do that.

Cool app and works similar to bitesms on iPhone jailbroken app. Only good thing though is the quick reply but imo the graphics on this make it look way out of date compared to the stock messenger. Only thing I don't like is when in your pocket you can accidentally hit reply and have issues if u know what I mean. Great alternative though for the few people that can't live without the screen turning on with a new text, lol. Personally I like it the way it is, does save some unneeded screen time and no possible way to case accidental responses. But if u just stare at ur device all day waiting for a text to appear, I can see the appeal, lol.
is there any other method to pop the screen?
i have been using the power button to pop the screen, is there any other alternative method?

[Q] Is there a way to customize the LED?

I didn't put this thread in q and a since it's not really asking for basic help.
Moving along, i like the way the led pulses on phone power off with the animated Samsung logo. Is there some way to get the led to pulse like that for notifications? I'm a little disappointed that there aren't more ways to customize the appearance of it.
Thanks in advance!

Well you really shouldn't have put it here because you sure aren't developing anything. You should read the forum rules so you know where to post.
To Your question there are apps in the play store that let you do that.

Not sure what I did but I have Lightflow working with talkback off. I'll mention that Lightflow works best when you have root which I have. My setup does just what I want. Also note that the Note 2 has a setting that enables flashing the LED for incoming messages, voice mail and one other thing I can't recall. The drawback of this stock capability is that the flashing goes off when the screen comes on. I only want the light off when I go to the app causing the LED notification which Lightflow allows me to setup.
Light manager works beautifully andbits free...no bugs

If rooted, the light will stay on when the screen is on using light flow - go into settings and enable root mode and s3 root mode. Unless I misunderstood what you said, in which case, my bad.
Also, once it disables air view to turn on light flow, just go back in and turn on airview

Another vote for Light Manager. It just works.

Took me a sec to figure out the thread was moved lol. I was like "Ummm dummy this IS the Q&A section" Massive :facepalm:

I'm assuming he/she meant mute / DND the watch by pulling down from the 'home screen'. If so, yes. It will help with the gesture activation.
When I do it, the screen doesn't light up when at 45ยบ.
Like so: link
Thank you for the solution but I use the watch to wake me up by vibration at the morning. So mute it not help me . It would be better if we have an option in the firmware to switch on or off the movement wrist detection.
I have the opposite problem, I can't get my lg watch to wake up by moving it, I've tried different movements and nothing, the screen is set to be always on but the only way to wake it up from its dimmed state is to tap the screen.

If really nothing works and the watch is not muted you probably have a defect. Especially if this was the case from the moment on when you got it. Request a replacement from where you bought it.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procoit.wearmylauncher and activate the shower mode. It still vibrates but the screen is dimmed and won't turn on if you accidently touch it or move your wrist.
Godd idea, i will try.

[Q] Disable Wrist Activation, While Still Getting Notifications?

I can't figure out for the life of me how to disable the wrist activation feature, I don't want to mute the watch, I just want to disable any movement from waking it. So only touch input would wake it, rather than movement. Any suggestions?

You think there would be an option to double tap to wake! When I wear a T-shirt and cross my arms my watch vibrates every 5 seconds!
So annoying...
Hopefully, some customization features would make android wear perfect
Commenting for future updates. I would really like this. Especially since most of the time when I actually want it to come on it doesn't.
My lg g watch doesn't turn on when I move my wrist. Have constant display turned off. Have to double tap to wake or wait for incoming notifications
