Hi
I wonder if anyone could offer advice with an issue I have with my Galaxy S3.
The phone is running UK 3 android 4.3, Baseband I9300NEUGND1, Kernel 3.0.31-2429075
The issue is that when I use the camera and I exit using the camera I notice the GPS searching icon in the notification bar.
"GPS Tag" is off (unchecked) in camera settings however this issue only started after I used the function while on holiday abroad.
Before I would never see the GPS icon (unless using GPS).
Now I see the GPS icon flashing breifly every time I exit the camera.
It seems that it is taking a fix (about six seconds)
If I check the "GPS Tag" box then I get the GPS icon within the camera screen as expected and photos are "Geo Tagged" as expected.
It seems that my initial use of the GPS Tag function has started this issue.
I have tried turning the GPS Tag and GPS function off, on and back off several times and also restarting the phone.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can ask your question in the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question. thread, or directly in the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Maybe you have to clear the data of the camera app (via Settings > Application manager > All > Camera).
But you might get better advices in your device specific forum.
I am hoping someone can help. I just got a new BT Frontier yesterday and connected it to my phone. However, whenever BT is on and I try to go into the Gear App it immediately switches over to the update screen from the Samsung App. When I try to go back it keeps going to this screen. The only way I can keep the Gear app open is to turn off BT. I have a Galaxy S7 on Verizon running the beta version of Nougat so I'm wondering if this is causing issues. I also tried clearing the cache, resetting the watch but nothing helps.
Thanks for any help.

I had this exact same problem. I have a Verizon S7 Edge on the Nougat beta...this aggravated the **** out of me. I just found the fix less than 2 minutes ago.
First open your "Galaxy Apps" app
Then go to the top right to the "..."
Then select "Settings"
Then scroll down and select "About Galaxy Apps"
Within this screen you can do an update. Once the update was complete I didn't experience this problem anymore. Hope this helps :good:
Hey guys! After updating Telegram to the latest version, 4.0, the app's icon doesn't have a frame, even though I have selected "icons with frames" in settings since I started using the phone. I already tried reinstalling the app, rebooting the phone as well as going back and forth between "icons only" and "icons with frames" in settings. Nothing solves the problem. Does anyone has the same issue? Can you advise any possible solutions? Thanks in advance.
P.S. My Galaxy S8+ runs the latest software.
I'm having the same issue on Galaxy S7 Edge after Telegram v.4.0 Update.
I've got the same problem on my Note8, even with the Tumblr app...
Same issue in Galaxy S8, also with Telegram X
Since I updated my Pixel to Android 8.0 Oreo about a month ago, I don't get any notifications any more. The only thing that seems to be working is phone calls which I can see on my gear.
What I've tried to do, to solve it:
- Cleared data for the Gear app
- Uninstalled and reinstalled all Samsung applications
- Factory reset the Gear
- Checked that the Gear app has permission to notifications
- Checked that the Gear has the latest firmware
- Rebooted my Pixel
- Tried to connect my Gear S3 to a Huawei phone running Android 7.0 (notifications worked)
- Contacted Google that said the issue probably is because the Samsung app doesn't support Oreo
- Contacted Samsung that said Google is "probaby right" and I'll have to wait for an firmware update for the Gear which they have no ETA for?
If Google is right, everyone with Oreo should have this problem? Or atleast someone else? Is that the case?
I have Oreo beta on my Nokia 8 and have no problems which weren't present on nougat.
No issues with notifications.

Ok, does anyone else have any idea of what can be the issue for me?
I'm having the same issue. Also with my pixel. Tried everything you have also done. Almost at the stage I'm about to switch back to my old moto 360 until they release a patch. Not being able to receive any type of notification is a deal breaker for me.
have you tried to clean cache, stop the Bluetooth process on pixel and run it again?
Anybody got solution for this?
I upgraded OnePlus 3 to Oreo and notifications stopped showing on Gear.
Soon afterwards I upgraded Gear to Tizen 3 but that didi't solve problem.
The new software update that was released a few days ago solved the issue for me.
Exactly the same problems and frustrations
In short, have tried all the same actions as set out by yourself. No Gear 3 notifications started with Pixel upgrade to Android 8.0. Like others have stated here, makes wearing and relying on Gear watch very marginal. I bought Gear watch to pickup notifications when doing outdoors, relatively hands free sporting activities.
Everyone: please keep THIS discussion thread alive in search of eventual solution. Thanks. John, Sydney Australia
Same issues
I recently purchased a gear s3 Frontier watch, after much researching, it was the one that most fit my wants.
It is paired with my Pixel phone and for the first 3 or 4 days it worked great but now I don't receive any notifications at all except for Samsung Health... Notifications are all turned on but nothing comes through?
It seemed to have started with the Tizen 3.0 update. But could't say if it was immediately after or a day or two later. I've done multiple resets but nada.
Phone calls do come through to the watch but my phone doesn't ring anymore when the watch is connected..
No settings were changed on the watch or the phone app.. One day it worked fine, the next day, everything quit...
This is very disappointing... these notifications were the reason I wanted a smart watch in the first place.
Any idea whats going on?
The watch is SM-R760 running Tizen 3.0.0.1 version R760XXU2CQL1
Knox 2.2.0
Know Tizen 2.2.0
SE for Tizen 1.0.0
TIMA 3.0.0
Pixel Phone on Android 8.1.0
Snapdragon S8 on nougat with a similar problem. My notifications will disable themselves and the switch to turn them back on will be grayed out and unselectable. Only way to get them to work again is by rebooting the watch and the phone, but it will only work for a few hours until it's broken again.
I have a similar problem with my Oneplus 3.
Evertyhing worked fine until I updated my phone to OxygenOS 5.0.3 Android 8.0.0. Since then the Gear S3 doesn't receive any notification. The only one are phone calls.
The settings for notifications are on (in the Gear App and OS settings unchanged). Resetting the watch didn't change anything. Round about 2 times a day the gear looses the bluetooth connection for ~30 seconds which is new as well.
Resetting the phone is no option.
Any ideas or new information about this problem?

I reinstalled the Gear app, repaired and resetted the watch which didn't change anything.
Though I forget about the Samsung Accessory Service app. After reinstalling this, rebooting the phone and repairing the watch the notifitications are working again.
In the matter of connection loss I can't tell not yet.

I know this is an old thread, but I stopped getting notifications on my Oneplus 7 Pro - Android 10. I had to turn off battery optimization for the three Samsung apps - Galaxy Wear, Gear Plug in and Samsung Accessory Service. I now have notifications back.
