So I have a Verizon Galaxy 8+ and when I put my phone in vibrate all notifications on my Gear vibrate and play a notification sound. But Messaging only vibrates, unless I take my phone off of vibrate.... it is getting annoying... When i had my S7 Edge i did not have this issue. It bothers me because I like to have my phone on vibrate and when I get a message my watch will Beep at me but now its not working? Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
I Tried resetting the watch, trying a 3rd party messaging app (Textra) and its a no go for some reason.....
This is been a problem since the recent update of the S3 to the current firmware. I've talked to Samsung about it and they confirmed that it's an issue. They gave no promises they're gonna fix it. By the way the same thing happens on my phone as well which is an S7 edge.
What I see, is a if I use the stock messaging app on the S7 edge I can get audible text notifications on the watch, but then I can't do group replies from the watch.
Using Textra on my phone, or other text apps, I can do group replies on the watch, but get no audible text notifications on the watch.
It worked fine before the most recent firmware update on the watch, so clearly they've broken something, and just haven't released a fixed yet.

Is there any way to turn on notification sounds (for new text msg or email etc.) during phone calls?
I find myself constantly taking my phone away from my ear during calls to check if there are any new notifications since the sounds get muted during call and find this kind of annoying. Seems like this should be a standard option, no?
Turn on pulse notification light in display.
You really talk on the phone so much and receive so many notifications that this is a problem?

Notification pulse is turned on - that has nothing to do with sound. It bothers me because notification sounds worked just fine during calls on my Galaxy Nexus.
If I talk on the phone for 40 minutes but I get an important text message 5 minutes into the call that needs a timely response, yes, it is a problem.
Anyone have any ideas? This is an annoying issue.
+1. I'm looking to see if there's a solution for this.
Yes , I need to know the answer to the same , because missing out on important messages are a fear when I am on long calls . Thanks .
Anything new on this? Just got my Nexus 5 and I'm having the same issue.
Use tasker. Make a profile that makes a short vibration upon receiving a notification. You could use a sound instead of vibrate, but imo that would be annoying for you and the person you're on the phone with.
Nexus 5 issue.
There's a simple solution for this., just go into your settings>sounds and notification >interruptions. Here you can edit what notification will interrupt you while being on a call.
I use the stock email app on my S7 and don't want to have a sound when an email is received. But removing the notification sound in the email app on the phone also makes the clock stop vibrating when I receive an email. Why is that? I have notifications in the email app turned on.
I want the phone to be silent when I receive an email but the clock to vibrate? Can that be done?

I'm facing the very same issue.
Before Gear S3 i was using Gear 2 and regardles of phone settings for particular app, notifications on watch (sound and vibrations) were working independently.
Now Gear S3 settings seems to be overriden by phone settings - in other words if notification on phone is vibrating then watch is vibrating, if i change application on phone to stop vibrating then regardles of watch settings, also watch stops vibrating.
The only way to have silent phone and watch vibrating is to set application to have vibration on and make whole phone silent.
That sucks - is there any way to change that behaviour ??
My S6 and S4 did this too, so I'm wondering if there's a workaround.
If I'm having an SMS conversation with someone, while the phone is in my hand, I get the SMS notification sound as normal, but then I put the phone down next to me and if a new SMS arrives somewhere between the screen turning off and the phone locking itself, there is no notification sound and so if someone adds something to the conversation, I inevitably miss it until next time i check my phone.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? is there a workaround? Thanks
it has been like that for alot of the samsung phone. I dont think there is a way to change it.
Normally i just reply and back out of the app before leaving the phone
I've got only 1 issue with my OP7 pro.
I get text on Verizon no issue I did the needed CDMA-less nonsense. But I'm not getting notification sounds when I get a text.
Emails are fine and messenger works but with stock message app or the messages+ app that I prefer I get no sound.
Yes the switch is on ring mode all the way down.
Yes I've gone in to settings and set a custom text sound and still no luck. Media and ring volume all the way up. Anyone else have this issue?

call Verizon again they didn't do it right the first time they did the same thing to me
Oh I misread I wasn't getting text messages when they did it wrong with me I don't know about the sound issue
Figured it out my stupid do not disturbed was on.
Found it on 2018 forum post for the OP6 lol I've NEVER used it. With the toggle on side of phone idk why there's even that option. I guess for automation it's a decent option to have. I was getting very frustrated. Funny and dumb issue.
My Galaxy Watch 4 doesn't vibrate or "ding" when I receive an SMS or MMS message. I have it turned on in the wearable app and all other notifications work as expected. I have reached out to Samsung and they took my Watch for repair but ended up sending me a new one. Still the same issue. The orange dot comes on, but no actual alert.
