When my Gear S2 3g watch is connected to my phone, I receive message notifications on my watch and phone just as planned. When I'm away from my phone and the S2 is operating on 3g only, I receive "again" all of the messages that I had already received while the watch was connected to my phone. So if my watch is connected to my phone during the day and I receive 25 messages throughout the day, later that evening when I go to the gym and leave my phone in my locker, and the watch is only operating on 3g, I receive those same 25 messages one after the other.
Does anyone know of any way to stop this from happening?
Are you using at&t? What kind of phone are you using?

If you log into the myatt app, and disable att message sync, that should fix your issue. Since samsung phones already show the messages in the app on your watch, and att downloads all synced messages, that may be causing it. (At least in the case of my customer the other day).
Try and let me know.

I got my edge the day it came out and I've been having this problem where my apps don't sync or update over Sprints network. Apps like Bleacher Report, Facebook, Gmail, etc. I receive kiks just fine while the the phone is idle on 4G but nothing else syncs. After I got home from work today, my WiFi connected and all these emails and notifications popped up and they had a previous timestamp. My background data restriction is off and for every app too. I did the 78268 or whatever and still nothing. My network was set to automatic and I just switched it to LTE/CDMA to see if it works. Has this happened to any of you guys??

I think there is def something going on i experience sorta the same stuff, sometimes i can reboot the phone and then all my emails and stuff come in. 2 weeks ago with the m7 i would wake up and usually have about 10 emails and notifications. Not anymore for some reason its like it stops the data connection.
I've got the same issue. I have no idea what is going on. I want to say it's a sprint issue but I really think Its a Samsung issue with the radios. I have moved my preferred network to home and disabled Roaming. I am hoping this helps. I think he has to do with how Spark passes off to LTE and 3G.

Yeah I also can't use data while in the middle of a call. I'm going to take it to Sprint and see if its a SIM issue or their network. Since so many people are having this problem, its most likely Sprint unless Samsung made a bunch of defective devices lol

You can't use data during a call on any Spark device to my knowledge, because those devices only have the one radio. It can't do LTE while also doing 1X (SVLTE). Whenever VoLTE becomes widespread this won't be a problem.
Yea you can't use data and voice at the same time. It's always been this way. I'm just pissed I'm missing emails and notifications. I switched my network preferences to see if that helps.
found a workaround for this
Having the same problem here and this is my second one with the problem (exchanged the first one because of the screen rotation issue).
I installed Hotspot Shield from the play store and now my notifications from all apps are coming in in a timely manner. It makes your battery drain faster though. Hopefully Sprint will push an update to fix this soon. In the meantime this works, at least for me.

I just switched my network mode to CDMA only and now notifications come through on 3G and my battery has been better since I switched the setting. Still would love the fix

I have a question that I have not been able to find the answer to. I want to purchase a s2 3g but use it as a wifi bluetooth watch. I want the bigger battery and gps. If i were to buy it from, say, amazon, would i have to activate it on the carrier to use it, or could i just use it just like the normal s2?

i believe the answer is no you do not need to activate it on the carrier but you will not be able to forward calls as far as i know.
Cool thanks. I don't want to call forward just want the watch.
It'll work fine thru Bluetooth as long as call forwarding isn't turn when you set it up. As long as you don't turn that on should be golden

Works fine.
I've got the 3g AT&T version. Check Best Buy site, Found mine with No contract for $149.00! (Yes I think it was a error on the site!) Anywho, the watch gives you the option to set up the phone number but without the SIM being active it will not save the settings. Everything else works fine via the bluetooth connection including the speaker-"phone" from the watch during calls.
I really like it, but kinda miss my gear live... just wish tinzen played better with android like my gear live did.
Have a very weird problem, and think it is because of any app...
I use a galaxy tab s4 lte as a phone, it is a fully functional phone oversized... it is great, and im using tablest as phone 3 or 4 years ago... first was galaxy tab s2 lte, then s3, and now s4
S2 worked great... S3 worked great but from march of this year, randomly phone disconects fron network just to receive calls.... sms, 4g and wifi always work, but canr receive calls till i make a call... it is like it disconnects from network... i notice that, because i have (from the times of s2) my phone forwarding calls to my wife's phone when my phone is turned off or im in a plane for example...
But with tab se, from march, i was in home with my wife and someone that call me ringed directly to my wife phone... a lot of times saw that... but when i place a call... it start receiving calls again...
Went to tmobile, changed the sim and same problem...
Bought a new S4 lte ($1000) and from the day 1 same problem...
Any help? Im pretty sure it could be any app... but dont know where to start

Did you by chance put it on LTE-only mode? Where it does not receive calls there is some network configuration problem or lack of Volte when it automatically switches to 4g.

I have the latest Galaxy watched and just connected it to the 7. I get app notifications on the watch but no calls or texts. I checked the settings and did all I can think of. Is this an incompatibility issue or is there something I'm not doing?
Thanks!
IIRC, the calls only come to the watch when you're away from your phone? That's how it was when I was using it on my Note 9. Haven't tested calls on my 7 Pro yet with my GS3 Frontier but texts came through.
Texts and calls come to mine no problem. Works pretty flawlessly.

I don't get anything as calls, call log, messages or inbox. Very weird because on my s10+ it was working fine.
I completely reset the watch. Didn't think of that at first. I just "connected to new phone" before this. I'll keep everyone posted.
Yeah when you change phones you have to reset the watch. I have the GS3 Frontier and this was I had to do. Mine works with getting notifications from textra, WhatsApp and calls no issues.

I just woke up and that's the first thing that came to mind. I don't have the OOS messages app on there. Thanks!
Do you have the Samsung Accessories plugin installed? And the Galaxy Watch plugin? You need both.

Okay, so the scenario is...if i have gear s3 LTE version and i left my phone at home with wifi connected. can i receive phone calls on my watch even if the watch is not connected to wifi or my phone.
Also, would google voice be the solution to this?
