Hi,
since my last update of Gear S3 on the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 I have to confirm (allow) reading samsung notifications every time my watch is disconnected from the phone or I am to far away from it. otherwise I do not get any notifications or messages on my watch. On the previous relase of Gear S3 app I did not have to confirm it each time. Is this a bug or does anyone know a work around to avoid confirming every time?

It works the same for me and while I consider it a big problem surprisingly this is the first place I have found on the web where the issue is mentioned.
Couple of days ago my gear S3 frontier stopped showing notifications from the phone. It is working fine, the apps are installing normally, everything appears to be doing fine except for the mail purpose of the smartwatch for me - notifications. I'm using Xiaomi mi5. Is anyone having the same problem? Any solution?
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/threads/samsung-gear-s3.149465/#post-2159160 and Gustav Karlsson have 3 links to fix your problem with Samsung Gear app. It is from .apkmirror.com and I dont now why the apps works better on others phone then Samsungs apps on Google Play.
my s3 frontier is connected with my phone...and when i receive a call my phone volume is very low. .please help
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.
After updating my Gear S3 to Tizen 3.0 I haven´t been able to get my Endomondo app on my watch to save or sync my workouts. I´ve got the latest app versions on both my phone and watch and have tried uninstalling and installing again with no luck. I suppose it has got something to do with the Tizen update as there were no problems before the update.
Anyone got a workaround for this problem?
Same here...and also there was an update few days ago. But it did not solve the issue.
Have you written to endomondo team about it?

Yeah, but no answer yet
This morning I tried Uninstalling and then installing the Endomondo app on both my S7 and Gear S3 and now there are no problems saving my workouts.
Endomondo support wrote to me that there are several users having troubles saving workouts and that they have contacted Samsung about this problem.
I removed Endomondo from my Gear S3 and added it again...it seems to be working now.
I followed your guys, reinstall and it works now !!!.
I've just tried Endomondo on my Gear S3 to record a kayaking activity. It worked, but the battery drained so fast from 98% to 15% for 4 hours. I must stop Endomondo in S3 to save battery, since I still had a few hours in the activity. It could only record half of the trip impractically. Wifi and bluetooth had been switch off previously, and audio alert of the app was disabled. The outdoor screen brightness was forced to 8 by this app in S3 that couldn't be decreased during the activity to save battery power.
I dare not to use this app for my outdoor activity again such as hiking and kayaking, unless there's another workaround to let me use it to record a trip for about 6 to 8.5 hours.
Bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch4. (poco X3/NFC MIUI Global 12.5.4/Android 11)
Most of the things work fine but there's one issue:
When starting a walk with Samsung healt app on the watch it wants a gps fix from the phone, but it does not get one, and then it pauzes at about 16 seconds.
Before i had a gear S3 watch with the same problem, wich i fixed by autostart the Wear app, samsung healt app, making sure the had the right permissions, locking them in memomry and no battery restrictions.
Now, with connecting the Watch4 a plugin has been installed, i also did the above things. But still no luck, and also it does not work anymore with the old watch. Does anyone has a solutions for this ?
(Except disconnection the watch from the phone and let it use it own internal gps)
