I'm having a really weird problem right now. My Huawei Watch 1 was working perfectly before I upgraded my phone to the Galaxy Note 8 from the S8+ I reset the watch and notifications for text messages stopped working and Android messages won't load to the watch. At first I was getting text messages, but now it's not showing them at all. I checked the version after a factory data reset and I have the newest software installed. The other problem is that Android Messages won't install on the watch because the current version of it isn't compatible with the watch. I'm getting notifications for something else and full notification access is being given to Android Wear and Huawei Services. I haven't been able to send messages via other apps like Wear Messenger which works temporarily but then fails.
Has anyone had this issue and is there a solution? I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere for this.
Having the same issue. Installed "Feel The Wear" app and am now getting a notification, but the message itself doesn't appear on my phone.

Hello all,
I'm using a Samsung Gear S2 Classic on a Huawei Honor 6 phone, which is compatible, and since I've been using it (2 days) I've never recieved once a text message notification on it, or email. I recieve facebook messenger push notifications, so I can reply to the messages, but no way of going back to the application.
The real problem is that in the Tizen app menu, there is no "Messages" application, nor email for that matter. It's like they don't exist, they were deleted in the OS. But I know that they are there because I've seen the icons on video reviews on youtube. It's extremely frustrating to not recieve text notifications, it makes the watch useless. I've factory resetted twice, played with the options, sent hundreds of text with my phone in vibrate mode, silent mode, screen on, screen off, mixing combinations, but nothing works. I've tried looking on internet for this particular problem of notifications not working but have had no success in finding a fix.
This morning at work I factory resetted the Samsung Gear S2 once more and connected it to a friend's Samsung Galaxy S6, and when everything was synchronised I was shocked to see in the app menu on the watch the Messages and Email apps. I couldn't believe it ! So there must be some sort of compatibily issue with non-samsung (or non-galaxy ?) phones.
I've now synchronised it back to my Honor 6, the Messages app has dissapeard... furthermore I'm not recieving any notifications at all (no push notifications from FB messenger for example).
I don't know what to do, am I supposed to wait for an update ? Will there ever be one ? Are there any hopes ? Should I return my watch to amazon for a full refund ?
Thank you for your feedback.
PS : I imagine that this could be a smart move for non Galaxy users to oblige them in buying new Samsung Galaxy phones... but I would like to keep my android phone for another year at least.
Is the messaging app selected in Gear Manager to forward notifications? Email app?

Are you talking about Notification --> Manage Notifications --> select "Honor 6 internal messaging application" ?
I have selected Phone, and there is no messaging app in the list, which is weird. I think it's included in "Phone" App, since it's the same thing when you open Messages and Phone app on phone, just a different tab inside the application itself.
Here is a video showing the default messaging app on Honor 6 [Here is the video : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxiirboGxLnUUHllcW5tN1k3d0k/view?usp=sharing].
Both messaging and e-mail on the Gear are reliant on the corresponding Samsung (not Google, not third party) stock apps on the phone. It makes sense to disable them on the Gear when paired with non-Samsung phones. Third party apps that don't have corresponding apps designed for the Gear are managed through notifications - that includes messaging and e-mail.

Thanks for the response. However I have returned the watch, I'll wait probably another year to buy a smartwatch at a cheaper price and better compatibility. It's taken too much of my time already to configure and I've had enough of factory resets
I gave back my Samsung Gear S2 and got a moto 360 2nd gen : it's a completely different world, the moto 360 is 100 times better imho and fully compatibly. HAIL GOOGLE.
hi, I have the non LTE Gear S3 Frontier. Message Notifications from Whatsapp and my phone text are not showing on my watch. same for email notifications... Phone calls are relayed to my watch but not whatsapp calls. Remote connections and the app notifications are checked in Samsung gear app... in Summary notifications are very unstable.... any ideas pls?
I get a problem with notifications too.
Sometimes they arrive , sometimes they arrive some minutes later, sometimes they never turn up whatever the source of the notification.
This is via a BT connection.
Tried resetting and altering the settings to no avail.
I was hoping to use just the vibration notifications on the watch and not sound on the phone as a lot less intrusive in meetings etc. but looks like it is not reliable enough for that.
yes, exactly same problem here! its a problem as not reliable at all... very dissapointed! I am using S7 edge fyi... hoping that there is a fix
Not sure if this will help for you, but one thing I noticed was a setting on the Gear app on the phone, under notifications, "Show while using phone"
Mine was off, which meant that if my phone screen was on, no notifications came through to the watch. I turned it on, and now they all come, all the time.
Is it possible to reply via a voice message on Whatsapp? Not the Svoice.. But a voice message..
does anyone know why i can't reply to my SMS or my what'sapp messages form the watch.? and how to fix this problem?
Unforunately Gear S3/Sport do not work with some system SMS apps, andwith Whatsapp the upgrade is said to cause problems and the solution to it is downgrade to 2.18.46 on your phone - I am checking it today to see whether it works.
with SMS I had the same problem, I installed Textra and now it works fine - in notifications I have the whole conversation - but when I terminate the notification, all disappears

Wow, I use Textra and I just bought A Gear Sport. Waiting on very slow shipping.
If Textra does not work well on the Gear Sport, that would be a huge deal breaker. It might be going right back up for sale.
I own a xiaomi 9 lite. With MIUI 11 android 10 everything went well. I received all the notifications messages viber whatsapp etc. After receiving MIUI 12 I cannot receive messages from Google messages program, viber, facebook, whatsapp, messenger. Really frustrated. I can receive from other programs though. I have done everything no battery optimization from MIUI I have given all the rights. I have resetet my watch. Uninstall and install galaxy programs. Nothing. Can I do something else or need to wait for a fix from xiaomi.?
Hi,
got the same phone and the same watch. I didn't check all apps, but I didn't notice any difference on the ones I use most (Whatsapp, BeerWithMe, etc.). I'm on latest Xaiomi.eu ROM, which one are you using?
Hi,
I have the latest global miui 12.0.2.0 CFCMIXM. I managed to install a third party sms program with which I can receive sms messages and see them on the s3. I cannot receive on the s3 from viber, whatsapp, messanger, facebook. Before the update I received all of the shoves. Thanks for helping me
did anything ever come of this? I have Miui Global 12.0.2 (QJGEUXM) and a Pebble watch. notifications were working for about a day, and now nothing. When I installed a 3rd party pebble notification app, it tells me that the Notification Service isn't running, but in permissions it is all allowed, and there are no power saving rules in place.

I factory reseted the phone and the galaxy s3 frontier. But in general I think that I didn't give the right permissions to viber for instance. I chose for example not to receive a full message on my watch just the sender name and because of that the notification could not be sent to the watch. Now everything works like a charm.
I hope that you will find a solution
i use a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier with 4.0.0.7 Tizen paired with a Poco F1 Global QEJMIXM with Miui 12.0.2 stock rom (i'm a Mi Pilot member so i had 12.0.3 and 12.0.1 too) with full working notification for all app i selected. Make sure you have installed Galaxy Wearable app with Gear Plugin, setup Notification Access to Plugin in order to have notification, set all needed permission to plugin, lock Galaxy wear app in background, remove battery limitation to both wear app and plugins, set autostart to both app, open wearable app and under notification click See All and select needed notification. i have phone call and sms, facebook messenger, whatsapp, telegram, calendar, clock, reminder, gmail, outlook without problems...
Anyone got any tips on getting message notifications on the GW4? I am using it with a Pixel 4a5g. I currently have loaded the updated Google messages app on phone and watch. I have enabled notifications everywhere I can find for the app. I can open the watch app and read all my messages, but I can't get any watch notifications. On my GWA2, using Next, I was able to get the notifications and the message would pop up on my watch and let me read it. On the GW4 I have to open the app to read it. I am also open to any other messaging apps that others have found that work.
Update, I did get Next SMS to work, but I wonder if anyone has had any luck with VZW messages or Google messages?
You have to make Google Messages to the default text message app on phone to get notifications from it, and you can only use Google Messages for writing SMS after that.
The first thing I did was make Google Messages the default SMS... as a matter of fact, you can't even bring it up on the phone unless you do that. I know Google is just starting to roll out a new version of messages for using with watches, I don't know how to tell if I have that version or what that version number is, so I guess I will use Next for awhile longer and see.
This feels like a Gear app permissions issue. Check that the gear app on your Phone has permissions to read messages. Also it might be under device admin setting or something like that
I assume you mean the Galaxy Wear app, it does have SMS permissions enabled (actually all permissions enabled).
Note, as I said above, it works like a champ with Next SMS, so I think everything is enabled that needs to be. The difference would have to be with the messaging app itself.
You can also check settings on the watch itself. Settings/Applications/Permissions then scroll to Messages and allow everything one by one.
