I don’t understand the silent mode on the Banglejs2.

I'm trying to understand the silent mode — no matter what value I set (off / alarms / silent), the watch still vibrates.
I’ve tried test notifications from Gadgetbridge as well as directly from the timer app, but it keeps vibrating.
Could you help? My software is u to date

Do you mean Quiet Mode, not silent mode? The README for the settings app (https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/blob/master/apps/setting/README.md#quiet-mode) says:

Quiet Mode is a hint to apps and widgets that you do not want to be disturbed. The exact effects depend on the app. In general the watch will not wake up by itself, but will still respond to button presses.
Off: Normal operation
Alarms: Stops notifications, but "alarm" apps will still work
Silent: Blocks even alarms

If you look at https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aespruino%2FBangleApps+.quiet&type=code you can see a bunch of apps are using it. Specifically messages, which should be what causes buzzing when you receive a message, does check it: https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/blob/b9141d8986aea70836c7a9c6a71a70bc836fae61/apps/messages/lib.js#L204

But you're saying that sending a message via Gadgetbridge still causes buzzing? I just tried here and it does stop buzzing for me.

Are you sure you're actually setting the value of Quiet Mode? Those menus can be a bit strange to use - you need to scroll up and down to change and tap to confirm - if you hit the button it goes back without setting the value (and the menu would then still show Quiet Mode: off.

If you don't want any buzzing at all, you can just turn off Settings -> Alerts -> Vibration though.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it still vibrates, although the message app only vibrates once shortly when quiet mode is on.
Anyway, I’ve also found out that the option is more of a guideline and that the function needs to be implemented on the application level. I’ve already looked into it.
