Prior to my Gear S3, I would get a verbal for messages and calendar events, plus either the ringer on the phone would announce calls or I could get the name of the caller. Now I get none of these but a quick ring for calls and no verbal messages or calendar events except on my watch.
I like using the watch, but would like to hear my messages and calendar events being read out loud.
Is there a way to get both or must I remove these notifications from the watch?
My phone is a Galaxy S7e.

Not sure this has been asked before, but I was unable to find anything, so if this has been answered, please direct me to the right thread.
I receive message notifications from Whatsapp on my Gear 2, but nothing when I get a Whatsapp call, only a 'missed call' notification afterwards if I do not answer. I could not find any way to enable this. In fact the same thing happens with Skype, I receive message notifications but no call notifications.
I assume there is nothing that can be done, any ideas?
The Gear 2 Neo doesn't catch the calls directly, neither from What'sApp nor from Skype. The Gear Manager can only catch the after-call notifications when What'sApp and Skype generate them on the phone's Notification bar.
Until these apps support Wearable's from within the apps or at least generate a notification event when calls happen, you will have to live with that .
Hi anyone here experiencing no notifications when someone is calling you? As far as I remember when I first bought Gear S2 you can answer or decline a call from the watch. But now, only missed call notifications are coming. Other notifications are ok.
I checked the Gear app and the "Incoming calls" option in the Notification tab is gone.
Is there any fix for this?
I am using Galaxy Note 5 with Ported Note 7.

I had the same issue. Tried to trouble shooting over chat with Samsung and at the Samsung booth at Best Buy. Ended up having to submit for warranty repair...
I have the Gear S3 Frontier with LTE and its on Phone number. I have it paired with the Note 8. I'm wanting to know if there's a way to separate the text messages recieved on the phone from the ones received (exclusively) on the watch.
So, I get notifications on the watch when I receive a text on my phone. I also get a notification when I receive a text to my watch number. But if I happen to dismiss the notification on the text to the watch number, it seems to be gone forever and It doesn't show up in the text messaging app for me to read later or respond to. I would like to be able to recieve those text messages that come to my watch number in a separate app so I can actually see them even if I dismiss the notification. Hope this makes sense.
Hello all,
I just bought a Gear S3 Frontier which i am using with an LG G7.
My problem is that if the phone is not set to vibrate when receiving Facebook Messenger messages than the watch will not vibrate. if i put the phone on vibrate, the watch will also vibrate. this is the same also for normal sms.
Can i change this somehow? I would like my phone NOT to vibrate (basically just show on the screen that i got a message in FB messenger) and my watch to vibrate.
thanks
I had the same problem with the S3 connected to a Samsung phone (either Note 8 or Note 10, similar behaviour). The watch only vibrates when the message on the phone also triggers vibration. I wanted exactly the same behaviour you describe. I enabled the vibration on the phone for messages, but a Samsung phone also allows the vibration intensity to be set per type (i.e. calls, messages, etc.), so though vibration is enabled for messages, I set its intensity to 0. Now the phone does not vibrate on messages, but my Gear S3 does.
I don't know if the LG allows changing these settings similarly though...
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.
