Is anyone else having the issue with the gear sport of no 3rd party notifications appearing on the watch. The only notifications I'm getting are SMS (Samsung's SMS app), Calls, Email(stock email applications) and the weather(also stock.) Samsung's customer support was no help... *Surprise*
Solution
Figured out issue...
Using a Theme or icon package will cause no third party notifications to show on Gear Sport. After I turned off the theme and restarted the phone, I began to receive notifications.

Custom theme on what? I have a custom theme on my Galaxy S8+ and a custom watch face on my watch and I get third party notifications. You just have to switch them to "on" in the gear app on your phone.

I have a Gear with ATN installed.
What do i need to install to get samsung gear notificatioins reguadless of if the screen is on or off?
i have ATN installed and only get Get SMS notifications when my note 3 is in sleep mode....
i am looking to have every text show up on my samsung gear reguardless if the the note 3 is in regular or speep mode.
it is there a setting or app that will get the my gear to not skip displaying SMS when the phone screen is on?
I also don't receive any notifications on my gear when an SMS comes in. I have ATN - everything seems to work except for text. any ideas? Thanks.
I think I found the solution
For those still having some issues with galaxy gear... I think I found the definitive solution. You'll recall that Google hangout now handles text messages on Android... If you have enabled this feature., then that's the problem for the gear text notification.
Not that it will not work, but you'll need to enable notification for hangout in order to receive text notifications on the gear.
Problem solved... Another happy customer!
Hey all,
Just wondering if a 'two-way notification dismiss' option exists on the Gear 2? I also have a Pebble and there's a feature on the watch where if I check a notification on my phone (i.e. Note 3), the notification will dismiss itself on my Pebble as well and vice-versa.
It seems that on the Gear 2, if I check my notifications on my phone, it'll still show up on my Gear 2 until I 'delete' the notification from the notification list on the smartwatch.
Please let me know....thanks!
No way to dismiss a notification two way.

This is something they really need to work on.
Kind of annoying deleting the notifications on both devices.

I agree 100%. This was my first day with it and though I love the thing, I must say this is a little annoying. Also I have noticed that when reading one email as part of a notification, if a second email arrives, i cant read the second email, only the subject. This is through the k9 mail notification which I guess isnt fully supported. Teething problems with it I guess.
Yesterday i realized that my gear s2 classic is not showing me notifications from whatsapp.... I had an update to the watch few days ago but im not sure if it's related.
I checked the notifications settings on the gear app and the whatsapp is checked.
Any one?
What phone do you have? sometimes, depending on the phone model, notifications can take a while to show up..
Or maybe you don't check notifications permiss of samsung gear app..
I have been using the Samsung Messages (SMS) app on my Gear S3 with my Note 9 for years.
Suddenly, notifications sent to the watch from the app stopped.
I tried restarting both, cycling the notification button in the Wearable app and combinations of both actions.
No joy.
The Google SMS and Verizon SMS apps each send notifications to the watch.
The same thing happened at the same time on the Gear Sport that is also connected to my Note 9.
I'd rather not reset the watch, but understand that I may have to, but why only one app notification fail?
