I keep getting 2, 3 and sometimes 4 or even 5 notifications on gear 2 for the same facebook notification i receive once on my phone? Is there any way of stopping this?
This thread seems to be related http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739572 . I just recently upgraded my gear 1 to tizen and put in tizen mod 3. The same happens to me but I have no idea if this was normal. Seems like it is something funky if the notification is still 'New' as in you haven't viewed it then it keeps sending it. Of course it could simply be all tied to having a custom rom and non-samsung phone so I just have to deal with the quirks. For now I just delete them and they stop repeating themselves. As long as I get a notification I am fine. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution.
I think maybe since the latest update, I am not getting any text message notifications to my Gear 2.
(Samsung Galaxy 7Edge
- I have checked and unchecked the notifications
- other notifications seem to work (email, phone calls, facebook messenger)
- rebooted the phone and watch
- disconnected and reconnected
- did a light reset on the watch
all of the above have not helped resolve this.
Is there something i am missing? Is this caused by the recent update? I am currently using 2.2

As an update to this thread, after the light reset, i did a few tests, and that seemed to have worked. If anyone else is experiencing the same, please post and let us know.
Thanks

Do you do a light restart from the Gear 2? This has worked for me, but when i restarted the watch it seemed to have reverted back. So now i just leave the watch on for now. It lasts me at least 2 days before i have to charge it again.

Hey,
I am receiving notifications for text messages, however, the watch will not vibrate along with the notification no matter how I change the settings. The watch vibrates for all other types of notifications. I am using a LG G3 phone and the Gear S3 Classic Bluetooth version. Is anyone else encountering an similar issue?
To troubleshoot I have:
1) Double checked the notification settings in the gear app.
2) Ensured the notification settings are on in the watch
3) Made sure notifications and vibration are on in the phone.
Thanks,

Workaround
To anyone who is experiencing the same problem I found a workaround this afternoon. I switched to Google Hangouts and received notifications with vibrations. Unfortunately, I was not able to reply from the Gear. I then switched to the Google Messenger App, which received notifications with vibrations and I am able to reply from the watch. There must be a compatibility issue between the LG messaging app and the Gear. I will try to update the feed if I notice a fix.

Hello,
I've the same issue as you, with a Gear S3 and a LG V20. All notifications trigger vibration except SMS...
The point is that I don't understand your workaround.

Hey, basically I worked around it by downloading a third party messaging app and making that my primary messaging app on the phone. In my case I like the Google messenger app because I can respond on my watch and the notifications come through with vibration.
Good luck!
Kurt
This same issue plagues the default messaging app on the S7 Edge as well. Ironic seeing as it is the same company making the phone and the watch, both are its flagship products, and the integration with the native Samsung messenger app is supposed to actually provide more functionality. Also, it worked with the Gear S2.
Another Samsung QC fail.
Same issue...
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier watch
Samsung Galaxy S7 phone
Samsung Touchwiz launcher
Samsung Messenger app
No vibration with notifications. Very frustrating and disappointing.
I'm having the same problem with my Pixel 2. Has anyone tried doing a factory reset on their watch?

I have a pixel xl 2 and same issue with Android Messages. The vibration worked fine, then all of a sudden stopped about a week ago. I HAVE done a factory reset, doesn't help. When I did, I uninstalled all the gear apps from my phone, then unpaired the watch, factory reset, installed the apps in order, setup as new. Still not working. I have checked everything. All the gear apps, notification settings on the phone and watch, it just. doesn't. work... This is BS... I'm getting REAL sick of Sammy messing this watch up...
I haven't tried a different messaging app. I definitely prefer AM, soooo, I'm not so sure about installing anything else.

Glad I asked before I blew it up. I'm a fan of Android messages too. And I like the way the Gear S3 update has been as far as the work out modes and layout. But I'm not a fan of how they fix one thing and break two more. I've had this thing for over a year now and although it's been fun, I think I'll be looking elsewhere for a replacement when the time comes.

I've had mine for 7 months. It's been in the shop for repair twice and still having the same issue that I sent it in for. But, they won't replace it because since it was in the shop twice within 30 days, it counts as once... Seriously. So, I have to send it in again first. The weather app is broke, and now messaging doesn't vibrate or popup on my watch like it's set to. Yes, I WILL be looking at other smartwatches once some new ones are released (hoping MWC). The problems between the watch and their BS support just aren't worth it. Not for a $350 watch.
I can confirm that both Verizon messages and signal notifications and vibration work on my watch. I switched back just to see if AM would work after, no dice. So, apparently it's just Android messages and Samsung messenger that do not work (so far)? This really needs to be fixed. I miss my AM widget and app. Signal is cool, but doesn't work with my car. Verizon is not bad either, but it has some caveats as well.
So I have a pixel 2 xl was experiencing the same issue.... Watch all of sudden wouldn't vibrate for text. Factory reset watch numerous times... Still no dice. Figured I would try to uninstall the latest update to Android messages and sure enough that fixed it. So try that and see if it works.

I did try that, didn't work for me. I just got an update for it two days ago too. This problem is almost two weeks old. Thanks though. I AM trying it again just to make sure.
Verizon messages stopped working this evening too... What in the actual eff is going on???
Well, I'll be. I tried uninstalling the latest AM update and now it works again! I bet I uninstalled them updated again right away the first time. That makes 2 Google apps that I can't update until they fix problems... Thanks greenlantern5!
Soooo, there is a new update as of yesterday for Android Messages Has anyone taken it to see if it fixes the vibration problem?
I have the same issue. YAATA text messaging vibrates on the watch, but I can't reply from those notifications. Since everything else alerts properly on the watch, it is probably android messaging. I wonder if we could find an old version and see if functionality is restored. I'll post here if I find something.
Edit : I uninstalled android messenger, downloaded and installed android messenger version 2.7.028 from apkmirror.com and back in business. I have nexus 6P which is 64 bit, so downloaded that version... so if you try to install an older version, make sure it is the right one for your phone. Of course I had to turn automatic updates in Play store too.
I am having the same issue. I have used Verizon messages, Pulse, Android Messages and none of those will alert me on my watch. The messages appear on the watch, but it doesn't notify me. The only one that is working for alerting is Textra. I also have the Ring app installed and it doesn't alert me via vibe or sound, even though I see the alerts on the screen. Other apps work just fine, such as pushover and Google calendar. My phone is a Pixel and running the latest OS update.

Uninstall updates for android messages, then go to apk mirror and install android messages version 2.8.040. That is the latest version that works. (I'm on a pixel 2 xl)
I noticed that the Gear Plugin updated recently and now my notifications are working again, even on Android Messages. Has anyone else seen a recovery?

Can confirm. Awesome
have a crazy situation - a number of times in the day at odd times the whole screen flashes red and then blue while vibrating and playing the alarm.
I do not think it is a virus and cannot figure out with what app this is associated with. I cannot associate it with any app directly. There is no message just suddenly starts flashing until I tap on screen or after about twenty seconds turns off

Yours is a great idea but these settings are disabled on the phone. Thank you for the suggestion however
Im having this same problem. Did you ever fivure out the issue?
After hard reset
Did a hard reset worked for about a month and in the last two days started again I have tried to Google and see if others have the same issue and there is nothing on the www. Crazy and absolutely have no idea what is causing it
Moto 360??
I am having the same issue. I also have a Moto 360 watch. I think there might a connection when the watch isn't in range the phone starts this panic behavior of red and blue. I still haven't found a solution....
What Fw are you on ? And do you have exynos or SD variant ?
I have a G950F and a moto 360 too and no issues so far ?
Same thing
This just started happening to me too. My only change recently was: I install an android wear watch hauwei 2 last week. I enabled developer mode to try and trace the cause.

I am doing the same with the Debugger (now), good idea. But I must admit, I don't know how to use the option on the Android to necessarily trace to a specific app.
I do know when I turn Bluetooth off the issue seems to go away.
Has anyone tried changing the network the device is trying to connect to? Let's say you have a GSM network, try setting it to GSM only. Vice versa for CDMA.
Same issue w/ s7 and note 8
I recently began having the same issue with my Galaxy s7 a d now with my note 8. The only connection is I've had my watch(fossil Q founder) connected to both. If I get out of range or disconnect from the phone via airplane mode etc. is when the phone loses it's mind. I think it's a feature in the event you might have misplaced your phone the watch is helping it be found(if that makes sense). I haven't found a way to disable this.
I had this Blue to Red flashing screen on my Galaxy S7. I could only operate my phone on safe mode, the virus or whatever this was drew the battery down while I was offloading photos and syncing the phone to the Samsung cloud. Then I only had approx 2% battery when I went to do the hard reset and before I could make it happen the phone lost power and I believe this virus prevented it from charging back up, essentially my cell died in 2 days from whatever this was. luckily AT&T is providing me a replacement but what an awful virus and what's to say when I resync the phone with Samsung it doesn't happen again?
Ok now, really?! You guys don't wanna tell me that since 2017 you guys are tracing this totally insane Homecomming ring plus red and blue screen flashes. So basically you living with this insanity since it's inception, and nobody knows what it is? I'm about ready to throw my phone into the garbage.
Any OS that is pre-Pie can be infected with rootkits that require a firmware flash to eradicate. A factory reset won't work.
Otherwise it sounds like you are introducing an app that is doing this after the factory reset.
If it doesn't do it in Safe mode... it's an app you added.
New update just popped up that brings the gear s3 software to the one on the Galaxy Watch Active with its features and interface. It's also suppose to bring battery improvements too! I'm updating now I'm my usa version of the gear s3 classic

Now if they will update the Wear app so it's compatible with Android Q...
Well, I don't like the screen staying on while charging with the little charging symbol scrolling around the display after this update! The display only goes off once the watch has a full charge. I can't find any setting to disable this stupid display being always on while charging as I do not use the always on display setting at all anyway. I really hate it when they change the simplest things which make no sense at all. I probably wouldn't mind it that much if it was displaying a number for amount of battery charge instead of a stupid charge symbol. Oh well, they added one annoying thing with this update!
Update non-US watches
Being curious about this update I changes my CSC from PHN to XAR. The update was offered to me (with release notes in Dutch) and successfully installed. Afterwards I changed my CSC back to PHN. All working as expected, but to early to tell something usefull regarding this firmware as it is running for just a few minutes.
If you can't wait for this update for your region, you could try the method mentioned above and update to Tizen 4.0.0.4 and One UI 1.0.
Be careful as usual and remember your watch will be reset.
CSC changed using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226
just out of curiosity, did this update fix the sensor not working issue introduced after tizen 3.0.0.2 update?
Try to do it, but nothing works :/

I am not an expert enough to guide you through the whole process, but these were steps I took:
- changed CSC to XAR as described in the post mentioned
- phone resets
- connected watch to phone
- restored backup
- changed CSC back to PHN
- phone resets
- connected watch to phone
- restored backup
- configured some stuff like widget order on my watch and installed some additional watchfaces/apps form the Galaxy Store which were not restored from backup.
- back in business and all working as expected.
Hope it helps.

Just updated my AT&T S3 Frontier to One UI version 1.0, Tizen 4.0.0.4 (R765AUCU2DSD7) - Everything appears to be working fine except for the Alarm App 1.1.56 and Widget. Getting error: "Unable to load data. Tap to retry" when I tap on the Widget and nothing when I click on the App icon. If I set an Alarm on my S9+ the S3 displays/sounds/vibrates the alarm just fine. I just can't set an alarm from the S3. I have restarted the watch and my S9+ is running the latest version of Android Galaxy Wearable. Anyone else experiencing this issue with their Frontier? - I noticed that updates for the Stop Watch and Timer apps were added in the Galaxy store, but not the Alarm app. Maybe there's an Alarm app update in the pipeline.

After this update my Alarm app is showing version 1.2.64 and appears to be working. However, the Galaxy App Store showing the other version 1.1 56 though. Strange...
Installing now
Notifications got slightly changed if I see that correctly. With previous version, multiple whatsapp notifications from different chats only showed the latest one (at least for me).
But now I was able to select between single notification. Maybe someone can check that for themselves.
News Briefing widget does not work for me. Just says could not load, tap to retry but never reloads. Just FYI if anyone cares.
Since updating my battery drains like crazy if always on display is running. Used to get about a day with it on. Anyone else have this problem?

Will test it tomorrow. I used to have display always on almost everyday
Battery life seems much better for me. I installed the update late afternoon, explored the new UI a bit, installed all my apps and now I still have 38% battery in the morning. However, I did reset the device two times - before and after changing the CSC back and I leave the watch in goodnight mode overnight. I'm sure resetting helps avoid certain battery issues.
You are correct...

So yesterday my phone was at 15% by noon after removing it from the charger at 0530. I thought maybe I thought it was on the charger overnight but wasn't. So now today I charged my watch on my drive into work and removed it from the charger at 0730 this morning... But 1330 it was dead! So yesterday was no a fluke it was massive battery drain from the latest update. I do use always on because it's easier for my job but I have never seen drain this past from this watch. I did a master reset to see if that resolves the battery issue. So far it appears to be working because it is draining at a normal rate again.
So far, so good
With AOD, brightness at 7 and heart rate monitoring off it seems to be promising
yeah i am luckily having no issues with the update. all my apps seem fine. it is way more responsive with less lag. battery seems to be about the same although i have only had it since yesterday but comparable so far. i am really liking the new oneui. feels like a new watch.
