Hello everyone can you help me watch do not show me rest as i lie on the couch just shows how i would be active all the time on green lines No sleep notifications, steps i guess That from the whole health app I am constantly connected by bluetooth s6 edge
I don't recall exactly how it worked. But I thought I checked something on the watch which then directed me to my phone (non-samsung phone) where I could set up Notices going to the watch. In Android phone, Main Settings and then check Notifications and/or Apps and search the lists for Samsung or Gear type apps.
Sorry I can't remember more...

Anyone else seeing delayed by some minutes or non existent notifications on the S3?
This is true for text and email notifications
I can not see any settings for controlling the sync rate or anything else that might impact this.
The phone is a note 4
Yeah. There are times that emails never arrive on the watch.
There is a setting that if you are on the phone, you will not get notifications on the watch. You can set this to receive notifications when on the phone.
Notifications will not show if you have "Do not disturb" enabled or if you are using the phone at the time the notification arrives (though this can be disabled)
Also if you are not wearing the watch, you won't get notifications.
I have noticed very odd behavior with my watch as well. I have the LTE version of the Frontier, with NumberSync enabled, but my watch is mostly connected via Bluetooth which I have found means it is disconnected from cellular. It seems that if the Bluetooth is disconnected and reconnected that I no longer receive any notifications, messages, phone calls, etc from my phone (nor NumberSync) until I reboot my watch. According to the Gear Manager on the phone everything is connected and it shows battery stats and such, but nothing gets sent to the watch until I reboot it.
Having same problem!
Since raising this a couple of weeks ago it seems to be a lot more consistent now, in fact I have only noticed one late notification in the last few days.
I have not changed any options on the phone or watch - go figure.

So DND on the phone will block the notifications on the watch, is that correct? Any way to disable that feature? I often put my phone in DND but would like to get notifications on the watch.

No, sorry, I meant if you had DND set on the watch.

Very strange but since I don't have a notification sound for my stock email app in my phone when I receive an email, the watch is not vibrating when I get an email. If I set a sound notifications I n in the phones mail app the clock vibrates. Feature or bug?
I have noticed that notifications are not recieved on my watch when it doesn't detect its on your wrist, same for always on display, it only works when it detects its on your wrist. It is very annoying as I constantly struggle to get my frontier to detect a heart rate and know it is on my wrist, so therefore the screen is always turning off and I never get notifications going to the watch.
Might be a fix
Been having the same issue for a couple of weeks since purchasing my s3 frontier. While looking through the notifications setting in gear app on phone. I noticed the notifications are only sent when watch is being worn. I was wearing the watch so disabled this feature. Texts began coming in just as fast as on apple watch. Apparently, the gear s3 is not very good at telling if it's being worn. Might be related to inconsistent fitness tracking.
I'm not sure I've actually identified the problem so let me start at the beginning.
I have a new Gear S3 Classic. It randomly will beep and vibrate for no apparent reason. If I look at the watch the only difference I can detect is a watch icon in the 12 o'clock position on the face. If you swipe on it, it will display the word 'standalone.'
The problem is that it should not be in standalone mode since this always seems to happen when the watch is in close proximity to my phone. What's worse is that it doesn't just happen once but 2 or three times in close succession before it finally gives up.
I think I can defeat the notifications by putting the watch in do not disturb mode but that has other obvious disadvantages.
So is my watch defective? Do I need to pursue a warranty claim? Am I doing something wrong, do I need to reconfigure my watch somehow? I have no idea how to proceed from here. Any help is appreciated.
I think the vibrations are BT disconnection alerts. This can be disabled in settings CONNECTIONS -> ALERTS.
In terms of addressing the underlying problem of why the watch and phone aren't able to maintain a solid BT. Have you tried pairing to a different phone, to rule out a problem on that end?

Thanks for the tip. I set it to turn of the alerts. That will be very helpful since it could be seriously distracting at times not mention annoying for other people with me.
My guess is that it's an issue with my phone - Alcatel Idol 4. It probably doesn't send out an "I'm here" signal or whatever the technical term is, often enough for the S3 to realize that it's in range. The last time this happened, I swiped the icon and looked at the watch face and within about 10 seconds it reported that it was connected again.
As long as I don't have to listen to the watch and phone work out their marital differences though and they can manage to stay connected when I need them to be, I'm not going to worry about the watch going standalone periodically.
Thanks again.
I recently bought the Gear S3 Frontier, and I keep getting annoying notifications about "Sleep Record", including some late at night just as I am dozing off.
I am attaching a screen shot of the notification (this one happened to come in this morning while sitting at my desk). I thought that I had disabled all of the sleep tracking functions, but apparently I have NOT done so.
How can I get rid of these notifications??
EDIT: If it matters, I am using the Gear S3 with a Pixel XL (not a Samsung phone).
Disable it in the watch Samsung Health settings, sleep report notification.

That doesn't work. Even though in Samsung Health settings ALL notifications are blocked, still get a "Sleep Record" notification on the watch every morning.

You did this in the Samsung Health application from the phone (not in the Galaxy Wearable application), under Settings - Notifications, where there are entries for Current Exercise status, Health Insights, etc?
Optionally, you may be able to go to the Galaxy Wearable application, settings, notifications, manage notifications, and turn off/block notifications from the Samsung Health app, if you don't want ANY notifications from the Health app.

Yes, that is entirely correct. I've tried two disable methods from within that section, both disabling "Sleep log reminders" which did not work, and then disabling EVERYTHING in that list of notification by using the global "OFF" at the top ("Notifications for this app are blocked.) Neither of those stopped the "Sleep Record" notification each morning.

Yesterday, in the Galaxy Wearable app, I went into Manage notification and did finally disable Samsung Health (the entire app is now disabled)..... so far, no Sleep Record notification this morning, we'll see.... it's early yet! This is obviously the least desired way to disable a single function (aside from using a hammer), ESPECIALLY when, in the Samsung Health app, section "Manage items", there is a switch to turn off "Sleep"... that seems to be the appropriate way to disable "Sleep Record" (which is the first thing I tried, and did not work... sigh)
Thanks for your suggestion, though. I may just not use any of the health stuff..... Although the main selling point of these watches is THE HEALTH STUFF! LOL ...... It makes me wonder if the $300 Samsung response to the $30 FitBit is still not as polished as the $30 FitBit!

Yeah - the disabling of the Samsung Health notification in the Galaxy Wearable app is basically the nuclear option - so not ideal.
I have upgraded my phone to a Galaxy Note 9 (from the Pixel XL) since I originally posted my question, and when I went into the settings to double check my response, I realized that I had not given approval to some of the permissions of the Samsung Health app. I forgot to put my watch on today, so I will have to check and see if I have issues with the sleep record notifications. I never wear it to bed, so it is pointless to use that feature. If I have any issues with it I will update here.
I've installed an app from my local bus company on the watch. It has an icon on the Apps Screen on the watch (SGW4C) and the watch app on the phone (Galaxy S9). I'm changing the order of the apps on the phone, but despite showing the change on the phone, this particular app won't move up the screen on the watch after I've saved it. Any ideas? Other apps seem to move around quite happily, and the watch will mirror the location I set on the phone.
I got a question. On my old Gear S3 when i enabled auto workout detection and started running, after 10 minutes my watch said "Keep it up!" And i could track how long i was running and stuff. Is there a way to have this on my Watch 4? Cause it does auto track my workouts but i cannot track em trough my watch and it does not pop up after running for 30minuted and stuff while i'm exercising. Thanks for the help!
Nobody?
I was using this option long time ago. If I remember well you can switch on Auto detect Activities in Settings - Samsung Health . Watch detects only walking and running, after ~10 minutes. Tracking screen should pop up or there will be small Activiti icon at screen bottom. Just touch it to see full tracking.
