Vibration weaker on Pixel Watch 1 since Wear OS 5 update?

Hello, I was trying to resolve another vibration issue on OnePlus Watch which does vibrate only when screen is on…

I was thinking maybe there may be a similar think on Pixel 1 just in case anyone would be willing to test the latest APK:

The thread about the OnePlus issue is here:

Sleep with OnePlus Watch 2

@ravemir many thanks for further tests… What I’m doing in the latest version is: getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON); This should at least on phone keep the screen on when the app is in foreground… but it may be ignored on Wear OS… Also I’m taking a screen bright wake lock, but this is documented to get released when screen is turned off… I guess I;m doing maximum I can on my end :(… I do not have more ideas… You are right Wear OS 4 is Android 13 and…

I just tested it, no difference on the Pixel Watch

@D1.yt big thanks for testing this, sorry it did not help though… when alarm starts do you see the alarm screen without the need to tap on the ongoing notification on the watch face?

Thank you…

Looks like there may be a fix coming, according to the Google IssueTracker thread (though no confirmation of exactly when): Google Issue Tracker
