Eclipse CIQ 3.1.5 Simulator Settings (Tones)

I'm trying to figure out why a user on Fenix 6 Pro is not able to have his watch vibrate using my GymTimer App. It has the same code base as my Fenix3 and Fenix5x+ and i have user using Fenix 6X all reported that they are OK and the vibration works.

Currently, I am using these lines to check for playtone capability as well as to honour DeviceSystemSettings.

if (Toybox.Attention has :playTone && Sys.getDeviceSettings().tonesOn )

But to keep it simple, I just ignored the HAS Check

Doing it on the simulator, on the Settings -> Tones checkmark,

When Tones enabled -> This WILL play a sound

if (Sys.getDeviceSettings().tonesOn ) {

Toybox.Attention.playTone (Toybox.Attention.TONE_LOUD_BEEP);

}

When Tones disabled (unchecked) - This WILL NOT play a sound

// if (Sys.getDeviceSettings().tonesOn ) { <-- I Commented this out

Toybox.Attention.playTone (Toybox.Attention.TONE_LOUD_BEEP);

Is the above expected behaviour? I have yet to test it w/ an actual device (don't have my cable) but I would have expected that w/ the "tones" are disabled in settings, and IF I do not check the DeviceSystemSettings, it would override whatever is set in the watch and play a tone.

Am I mistaken or is this a bug?

If tones are disabled in settings (on the device or in the simulator), tones do not play. You don't need to check that tones are enabled or not, the system will prevent them from playing if the user has disabled them. Same for vibrations.

Thanks Travis.. Got it. I also managed to upload a copy to my watch and test it out.

So for the rest of the users who may or may not want to know.

if a user has disabled tones or vibrate within their watch settings then Tones or Vibrates won't play. CIQ apps cannot override it,

settings -> sounds -> tone / vibrate

I'll continue the rest here..
