Could someone help me out with the moto x 1st gen. With all my other phones I have had in the past I used llama or automateit. Seems like when I try to control the sound/ringers. I have tried some automation tools and it might work for a little bit but seems to always go back to loud volume even though the app is showing the volume on low that got activated my either the cell tower or the wifi connection. Is this an option that is not possible on moto x? I really like the ease of the phone setting volumes by itself without having to do it on a daily basis.
Moto assist already has a quiet/sleeping mode that turns your phone on silent at night. Could be that this is interfering with what you have set up.

I was so psyched for this phone, however, moto voice keeps crashing and defaulting to a google search. Also, when I have my phone on vibrate or silent and then use moto voice, it turns my ringer volume up to halfway and keeps it there. Not good when I'm at work as I'm not supposed to have my phone on me. Anyone know a fix?
I feel like a noob asking this question, but I can't figure out why this is happening.
I like to have my phone on vibrate all the time, especially in the car. Since I'm used to it always being on vibrate, I never check to make sure it's muted when I go into a meeting, work, or car. I just got my XT1095 last night and I have been surprised several times now by loud notifications.
The phone is going back to a 3/4 volume setting without me changing it. What is changing this for me? It has happened after disconnecting from the car BT, or after connecting to it (or maybe it's enabled after car mode is detected?).
I'm seeing a bug where Moto Voice is setting the ringer volume to 60% (if it is set below that) every time it is activated.
Report it to Moto so that it gets fixed.

That might be it! This last time I noticed the issue Voice was talking to me and asking me to enable Ok Google commands while the screen was locked.
Same issue here, and I have also tracked it down to a Moto Voice Bug. It's set on vibrate, then I get in the car and use Voice, and then when I get to work it's set to 3/4 volume. It has to be the Voice bug.
I have been able to reproduce it. Use Voice, and the ringer goes back up. Last time for me it went up to 1/4 instead of the usual 3/4, but it's definitely Voice that is causing it.
I find this go be absolutely and incredibly annoying! I've reported it to Motorola, but am really pissed off that Moto Voice changes/overrides the volume settings that were in place. And that's adding to the fact that lollipop's volume controls are messed up on 5.0, anyway. Sorry for venting, but it's bothering me so very much.
Anyone else bothered by this:
I beg you to report it, since change is more likely to happen this way. Thank you.

You should probably bump the following thread in moto's forums too.

Which is what I did, thanks for linking to the forum Let's hope they'll fix this mess soon.
I am looking for a quick easy way to silence Moto Voice temporarily. Here is the reason.
I have set Moto Voice to use a custom command. I set the MotoX into indefinite Silence mode when going into church. I know it is set properly as I see the symbol in the Notification Bar. In the middle of church the phone picks up some random voice and starts asking me out loud to put in my unlock PIN code. Rather embarrassing.
So it appears that putting the phone into silence mode does not affect Moto Voice from still talking out loud.
Is there an easier way to temporarily silence Moto Voice, other than entering the Moto App each time and turning off??

I am afraid it is worse than that. When triggered, Moto Voice will set your ringer volume to 60% and leave it there.
Night mode should help you in this situation.
Follow these steps:
1. Moto Voice should be configured as inactive in the night mode.
2. When you got to the church, just wake your MotoX and say "Goodnight <your MotoX name>"
3. Now your Moto X should stop listening until you wake it up by saying "Good morning" to it.
Hope this helps
Wow, there are lot of possibilities in these otherwise simple looking features, you just need to be little bit creative in thinking what you need and how to get it. :laugh:

I don't see a way to do this. What am I missing?

Looks like I went over-creative in thinking the possibilities. Just checked and found that there is no such way to toggle voice command on or off.
Obviously, if we stop it from listening then how can we wake it up by saying any command.... LOL Silly me.
But wait, there is 'Silence' trigger in the 'sleeping' mode under Moto Assist. Turn the silence mode on there and then say Goodnight to it to force your MotoX enter in the sleeping mode. Maybe its still listening but now it should not shout loud asking your any further command. Ideally only 'Good Morning' should work.
You need to check it, its night at my location so I can't check the voice command right now

The problem here is that whenever Moto Voice is invoked, it sets the ringer volume to 60% and leaves it there, hence unsilencing your silenced phone in a major way. (c;

You can toggle the goodnight on and off with voice commands, BUT you need to set goodnight times first. I do it all the time because I work a midnight shift and go to bed at strange times. The only down side is that the phone will automatically go into goodnight mode at the set time, so for me that's 0800 to 1500 and on my days off, I'm awake then so I have to dismiss it. It is nice to just say "OK moto X, goodnight" and shut the damn phone up for a nap.
Ever since Lollipop I have been frustrated with the lack of ability to turn off the phone's vibrate easily. I used to just set my phone to silent mode all the time (in fact, all day at work). Now my phone is probably louder than it would be otherwise simply because it's vibrating my whole freaking desk every time a notification comes across. I tried using tasker to just lower the volumes but you still can't turn off the vibrate. How in the world can I get this phone to simply show the notifications on the screen (or my Moto 360) without sound and without vibrating?
Also just to add, if I set my priority to None, it will be silent and still show the notifications on the screen, but then they won't show on my Moto 360. Ugh.
For 360-only notifications: Android Wear app -> Settings -> Mute phone alerts & calls
This way, your phone will be silent and your 360 will function as normal. However, this won't stop your 360 from vibrating.
I'm on Nougat 7.1.1 now.
I used to have tasks for turning down volume at home and at the office, and also turn the ringer off in the night so it only vibrates. A couple months ago I started noticing some weird behaviour where the phone went to vibration mode when I left the house which I didn't intend for it to do and which it hadn't done before. But it wasn't too bad, so I carried on. Recently though, I started walking to and from my office and listening to stuff using my bluetooth earphones. I noticed that, after a while, presumably when switching off the 'home' or 'office' profiles, my earphones gave me a loud beep and then the volume would be turned up all the way. Not great for my ears. So I started to think something's wrong with my tasks. I ended up turning off all volume settings in every task, but the behaviour wouldn't change. I figured I might've broken Tasker because I used to restore Tasker data from Titanium backup on every Android version upgrade. I've always been on Cyanogenmod and now on LOS. So I used Tasker's in-built backup mechanism and reinstalled it, restored the backup, but the problem still persists. Now, I'm at a loss.... Do you guys have any idea what might be wrong?
Are you sure this is caused by Tasker?
Edit: I did the test. Thes issue doesn't occur with Tasker disabled.
I'm not 100% sure, but the timing of the behaviour matches up with the usual profile switching timing. I don't know what else I might've set up that changes the volume. I'm going to disable Tasker and make sure it's still happening.
I tested if the issue occurs with Tasker disabled. It doesn't.
Enable Tasker and start disabling profiles one by one until the misbehavior stops.
Yes. Will do.
