when i have the phone and watch together works great. when my phone is off or away from me i don't new texts and i get old texts from same day and ever a couple days ago.
I have at&t. anyone else have this problem.
I talked to at&t and they said i need to turn Bluetooth off and let the phone stay on network only and after a couple days the watch will start working the right way and i won't get old texts. and don't use Bluetooth.
but what is the point of having it if i can't get notification on the watch from phone

Anyone else having problems with sending and receiving calls on their S3 in areas where they should be having no problems?
I got my phone at launch and it seemed to work fine, I noticed the connection issues after a couple of weeks and figured they would be fixed with software updates as time progressed.
But it's been over 6 months and I'm really growing tired of having to resend texts 5 times and never receiving calls. My phone shows I have 2 bars of 4G yet when my family calls me from the front door of our house (which is 12 feet away from my room) I get nothing. The only reason I know this is because I have the google voice chrome plugin that tells me when I have messages or missed calls to my google voice number, but since I have my voicemail synced up with gv it tells me when I have missed calls regardless of it being to my actual cell number or my gv number. If it wasn't for that I would never know that I missed calls all the time. And I only know I miss texts because my girlfriend gets pissed at me all the time because she thinks I'm ignoring her when I don't reply to texts I'm suppose to receive but never do.
So I've been living with this annoying problem for a while now and I thought maybe it was just my room that had bad reception but I remembered that my previous phone (HTC Droid Incredible) never had this problem. So I tried out my parent's feature phones (LG env 2 and 3) and they didn't have any problems while I replicated the same situations. Their old inferior phones worked better than the nice premium one I paid extra for. Ain't that some bs?
And now I go to a different school that has terrible reception in all the buildings I have classes in. So I always turn on airplane mode and enable power saving to make sure my phone doesn't die by the end of the day. But the other day I asked this random girl sitting by me in the first floor of the student union if her galaxy s3 was getting signal and she said "No, this phone sucks in this building". I asked what service she had and she said Sprint. I didn't know if I should have felt content knowing I wasn't the only one or mad that this phone might have an antenna problem. BUT just yesterday I was in the same student union, in the lower floor this time, and I asked this guy from my class if his data was working on his phone and he said "Yeah I'm downloading a picture right now.", to which I replied back with which service? He said "Verizon", what phone? "Motorola Razer something". At that point I got so frustrated that I felt like throwing my phone.
I mean the phone itself is great, I love using it and taking pictures with it, although lately I've been getting "camera failed" errors a lot. It's just really annoying that it doesn't serve its most basic functions when I need them to work.
So I'm asking if anyone else has been experiencing similar issues and what they did about it? I would have called Verizon sooner but since I'm an added line on our family's plan they only want to talk to my dad. He and I have different schedules so it's always a pain to try and coordinate.
I had similar issues with by i535.
Except the issues appeared the 1st day I got my device, and I was highly po'd to say the least, considering I left sprint the same day because I couldn't complete a call for months. Troubleshot with Verizon tech as is the protocol prior to replacement, and saw the device was faulty. Not communicating with the Towers. Device issue possibly regarding the antenna, but uncertain.
Anyway, I got a new replacement a few months ago, and all has been well.
The cause of your issues may be the same, except yours were delayed in appearing. Hard to tell.
Yeah, I'm hoping to try and get a replacement soon. I'm just scared I'll get a refurbished one that has the same issues.
I'm currently using the 3g AT&T Galaxy Watch S2 with a NumberSync on and for whole day, I wasn't able to get any calls.
Whenever someone calls me, it directs to 'this number cannot receive a call.'
It's weird since I can still receive a text message and I can still call from my end, just unable to receive any call, not even a voicemail. (Not getting on my phone and my watch)
And when I disabled the NumberSync, my phone suddenly worked like a charm.
NumberSync has been working nicely until today and I'm wondering what's going on.
Anyone has the same problem as me?
P.S. I talked to AT&T Customer Support for like 2 hours and they were not able to solve the issue. What my rep told me was it seems like an error from the AT&T Service side.
Mine did that too today!!!
So I found a quick fix to this issue, I turned the bluetooth off on my watch (with NumberSync On) and it seems working.
And the watch only says "Connected Remotely AT&T" rather than connected with bluetooth.
BTW, when I tried the combination of Bluetooth on + NumberSync Off, I couldn't get a call. It might have been just one day but at least this combination used to work when I found the problem 3 days ago. Now it just doesn't.. Only option I have for me right now is to completely disconnecting with bluetooth.
I have no Idea why there's a problem between having bluetooth on and getting a call.
This really disturbs me since disconnecting with bluetooth limits a lot of stuff, like I cannot control my phone music on my watch ..
I don't know who's to blame as in AT&T or Samsung but I hope this issue gets fixed.
P.S. I actually got an exchange on my watch thinking it might be a manufacturer error but nope, same problem.

So my first pixel (32gb black) had microphone issues and had that replaced yesterday no problem. It was all working totally fine and like it should until after the ball drop last night when all of the sudden my phone would not send text messages anymore. So I went to bed thinking it was just tower overload from the new year celebration. Then I wake up this morning and my wife tells me she got 20 text messages from me all in duplicates. I think great, its all fixed. Then I realized throughout the day that while my messages were going out now I was not getting any back. We tested this and sure enough nothing is coming through.
So I chatted with a Google rep and after doing all the troubleshooting (Safe mode, cache clear, reboots, etc) we still had the same issue. At that point he says he talked to a specialist who says its a known issue affecting a small group of Pixel owners and they are working as quickly as possible to fix it.
Anyone else experiencing this? I haven't been able to find any other posts about it which seems really unusual.
I have the exact same problem as you! You're not alone...and yes this is very frustrating. I haven't seen much posted about this issue either. I also thought it was tower overload until my mother-in-law told me my mom was texting me and I wasn't getting any of the texts. Can you send texts? I can. What about phone calls? I can still make and receive those. I'm talking to google as we speak. See what happens.
Well I'm glad I am not alone. I can also still send messages and make and receive calls. Just no text messages coming in. They said it might be my sim card and they want me to talk to my carrier which is ATT. who is your carrier? Let me know what they say or if you get it resolved!
I've been having the same issue with AT&T. Also the same thing happened to me on NYE. I sent happy new year to a friend and he got it like 30 times. I then didnt get any txt's for the rest of the night. I then rebooted my pixel in the AM and I got flooded with txt's I didnt get the night before.
This has been an on going problem for me and AT&T because I get txt's in spurts. Nothing for a while then all of a sudden I get a chunk and then nothing again. It's also very random as I have not been about to duplicate it. I think it's just something with AT&T and the pixel.

I had almost the same issue. I sent out some texts for the new year that night and they kept saying failed but people said they got them about 100 times. From there I turned it off and rebooted in the morning. Then it was exactly the opposite with them going through no problem but not coming back at all.
I had another Pixel prior to this and never had any issue after a month of use. My brother and SIL also have the same phone on my plan and live right up the road and have never had the issue. It seems unusual that its only affecting SOME phones and not all who have the same set of conditions.
I'm going to talk to my local AT&T store today and see if they will pop in a new SIM card for me and give that a shot.
I have similar SMS issues with my Pixel XL on ATT. In my case, I seem to have more issues sending or receiving SMS while connected to WIFI. Disconnect WIFI and they send/receive as they should. I've had ATT replace my SIM and check all necessary configs on their side and all looks good according to them. I can take that same SIM and put it in my Nexus 6P and all works as it should on WIFI or on carrier.

So I just tried turning off wifi and sending a few test texts. Still nothing for me coming back. I wish that would at least temporarily solve the issue so I could get on with my day to day life. It seems strange that others are having this issue but there isn't any chatter about it online. I thought more people would be posting about it but there is nothing.
ATT has an SMS test number you can send "test" to 151 and it will respond if all is working correctly. I have the same results with that test number as I do with any other contacts.
Okay so I got mine resolved. I went to the ATT store and they put in a new SIM card and reset network settings. They also reregistered the serial number of the phone to my number. After that all my messages came flooding in and I've been fine ever since. So many one of those three things fixed it though I had already reset my network setting before so I don't think that was it. Best of luck to the others out there!
Within the past 2 weeks my phone had been dropping calls or not being able to receive calls at all sometimes. Let me try to explain. Sometimes when I try to make a call my service will cut out and say "out of service area" and not but 5 seconds later it will show I have service again. I can send text messages surf the web anything but make phone calls. At&t doesn't believe that it's on their end. Whats going on??
You are not alone, I have similar problem. I went to Sumsang center in Bestbuy last weekend, the Sumsang guy there told me he loses DATA randomly too, he knew at least 3 people having the same issue since last OTA. And they are all AT&T users, all S8+ phone, the Samsung guy told me they already know this situation and investigating it, hopefully they will push another update soon.
For now, I reboot my phone every morning before I leave my house.

It's very frustrating. I've talked to samsung on the phone and they told me I could send my phone in and have it tested but I feel like it won't do anything. And they would send me a refurbished phone back not a brand new one like the one I purchased. I drop connection all the time during calls, when I try to make calls it doesn't matter. The people at at&t are no help.
Add me to it. And to me it is an intermittent problem. It does not happen all the time. I am on Sprint, and I have the phone unlocked through Sprint since I paid it off. Not sure if unlock changed anything.
Anyone got the problem sorted out?
S8 plus out of service area
Hi.
I also have the same problem and this is not a software problem this is hardware problem you need to change the boot.
Theirs no other way
I had a similar issue. My phone showed I had network coverage but I kept missing calls. My provider sends a text message on missed call. I would call my number, phone would not show anything and i'd get a missed call sms.
I took it to the local samsung authorized service, they replaced the motherboard, the display and battery on warranty. Basically I have a new phone now and it works.
Hello All,
I have been a One owner for about three years now, have had it rooted and with a custom ROM since the day I got it, and have no issues until very recently. Within the last two weeks, I have started experiencing a strange issue. Basically, a lot of calls and texts aren't coming through. In the case of the calls, I never receive a missed call notification. With the texts, people will send me messages and I won't get them until hours later sometimes, and then they all come in at once. Sometimes however, everything works fine and I can have a conversation over text just fine, or I'm able to get a call. The weird thing is though, I can call people just fine whenever, and my texts send right away. Another strange thing: my phone showed that I had full bars all throughout this time. I immediately assumed that it was an issue on the carrier side (AT&T), so I called them up. At first they told me that there were three towers down in my area, and that was likely the cause of my problems. This made since, as they also said that the towers had been down since Tuesday the 6th, which coincidentally is when I got back into town, and have been back since. They assured me that the towers would all be fixed by today, the 12th. Well, I was still noticing that I was having issues again, so I called AT&T, and they told me that the towers were fixed, but that they would escalate my problem to the network engineers, and that they would get back to me in 3-5 business days. At this point: I'm considering that the problem must be a hardware issue with my phone, rather than a service issue, as it all didn't quite add up. I had already flashed a different ROM and had a new SIM installed so it wasn't either of those. So, I went to my local AT&T store and picked up a ZTE Mayven 2 for $40, to try and figure out if it was really a service issue or if it was the One. I've only had it for a few hours at this point, but everything seems to be working fine. I'll continue to use it for a few days to confirm.
Has anyone ever had a similar experience to this, or have an idea what the issue could be or how I could fix it on my end? I'm pretty unfamiliar with flashing radios/modems, etc., but I wonder if that could be the issue. Also, I am running Sultan's Cyanogen Mod build version 13.0-ZNH5Y-20120430-STABLE. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you tried flashing different roms?
