[How to ??] Sync Do Not Disturb Mode Between Android Phone and Your Wear

https://www1-lw.xda-cdn.com/files/2016/09/image02-810x298_c.png


Android Wear 2.0 has been a much-awaited update, with watches such as the Moto 360 Sport only now getting it while the update came out in May for the Huawei Watch. With the Wear 2.0 update came many improvements, including the device now being able to install applications directly on your watch and a keyboard to reply to messages. One of the downsides of the update is that do not disturb mode no longer synchronizes between your smartwatch and your phone. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to sync do not disturb mode between your two devices.

Do Not Disturb Sync for Android Wear 2.0

We will be setting up this application on our phone and our watch. You will need to set up adb on your watch. The steps are largely the same for Android Wear, but screenshots of the process are shown below.
You don’t actually have to debug over Wi-Fi, but I find it most convenient. Once done, connect your watch to your computer using the following command.

adb connect 192.168.1.100:5555
 
The IP you connect to depends on the address your device shows under “Debug over Wi-Fi”. A prompt should appear once your computer connects, allow your watch to be debugged. Once you have connected, you are ready to begin. No commands for initial setup are required if you are not using Wi-Fi.

Setting Up the Phone

To set up the phone, first download the application “DND Sync for Wear” below from the Google Play Store.

Price: Free

Now that you have installed it, open the application and enable the “Do not disturb” permission from within the app. You are now finished on the phone side of things.

Setting Up the Watch

Once you have installed the “DND Sync for Wear” on your phone, your Android Wear watch should notify you to suggest installing the application on the watch too. Tap the notification and install it. If you are not notified, open the Google Play Store and scroll down to “Apps on your phone”. If you still can’t see it, search for it yourself. You can simply search the package name “rkr.weardndsync” on the Google Play Store to find the application on your watch.

Once you have installed it, open the connected adb and run the following command.

adb shell settings put secure enabled_notification_listeners com.google.android.wearable.app/com.google.android.clockwork.stream.NotificationCollectorService:rkr.weardndsync/rkr.weardndsync.HackService
 
And then you’re done! Changing to “do not disturb” on your phone should now change to “do not disturb” on the watch. This may prove useful to those of you bothered by the separation of device and phone as regards do not disturb with Android Wear 2.0.

[TechLeaks] Moto X4 image leaks showing off glass back, dual camera, thin side bezels

Update: The first image of the Moto X4 has leaked (see above). It was recently posted on Twitter by Evan Blass and shows the front as well as the back of the upcoming smartphone. The device looks a lot like the rest of the Moto lineup with its large circular camera housing on the rear and the fingerprint scanner positioned on the front, below the screen. The image shows the gold version of the Moto X4, although we do expect to see it in a few other color options once it’s officially released. One of the smartphones we’re really looking forward to from Motorola this year isn’t a refresh to the Moto Z , but rather the return of the Moto X lineup in the Moto X4. With specs and rumors flying around, Evan Blass has taken to Twitter to share the first good look at the upcoming device. The latest addition to the Moto X lineup, the Moto X4, is expected to be a return to the Motorola that once got us excited , at least to an extent. Whereas the Moto Z line focuses on premium sp...

[Phone Launch] Xiaomi launches its first Android One smartphone named Mi A1

Xiaomi unveiled the Mi A1 earlier today in New Delhi, and the phone marks a shift in strategy for the manufacturer. While all Xiaomi phones thus far have featured MIUI, the Mi A1 offers stock Android. The phone is the first in a new lineup of Android One devices, with Google looking to aggressively target the budget segment in emerging markets. The highlight of the Mi A1 is its dual camera setup at the back with a 12 MP wide-angle and a 12 MP telephoto lens. The 50 mm telephoto lens captures the main image and the wide-angle lens assists with the depth of field measurement, and the two lenses work together to create a bokeh. The telephoto lens enables up to 2x optical zoom and for even further shots, Mi A1 offers up to 10x digital zoom. Also, like the Pixel and Pixel XL by Google in the past, the Mi A1 offers unlimited high-quality photo storage on Google Photos. Xiaomi Mi A1 Specifications Operating System Android 7.1.2 Nougat Display 5.5-inch IPS LCD 192...

[Tech News] Google Chrome Canary and Dev Builds now have Built-In Ad Blocker

Google depends on advertising for its revenue. It is to serve this purpose that the company collects all relevant data across all of its users. Our browsing habits, our shopping-related searches, our weekly schedule — all of these are of interest to Google because they grant an insight into our lives, allowing Google to serve personalized ads that have a higher chance to resonate with viewers. So earlier this year, when reports emerged that Google was looking to incorporate an ad blocker in Google Chrome  – its main browser that serves millions of Android users – many people were initially surprised. After all, ads are Google’s forte, so blocking them natively seems like a strange idea. However, the reports clarified that even though the ad blocker would be turned on by default, it will only block out those specific types of ads that are deemed too intrusive and that negatively affect a user’s browsing experience. Some users on Google Chrome’s Canary and...
