As the title describes, although I am using a Pixel 2 rather than a samsung phone. Gmail notifications will not vibrate on the watch but will show notifications dots, etc. Other apps' notifications will vibrate properly, even the Google Inbox app. I figured this could be something widely discussed as most people use Gmail, but searching in the forums didn't really show a lot of results. I am wondering if anyone has encountered the same problem and is there a fix to it. Gmail notifications come through, but just won't vibrate the watch

I also found out that this is a android thing as well, I have an iphone laying around and will work just fine with the gear, vibrations and notifications.
Same here
I'm also getting this issue with Gmail only(email comes to watch but no vibration to let me know if phone isn't nearby), has anyone found a solution? For my text messages I found that enabling Textra, and the default Android messages made that now vibrate when I receive a notification. But I can't find any default Android mail on the app list?
Same problem here. S3 Frontier with a Pixel 2 XL. Knowing that Inbox (Outlook works as well) works helps, but I'd like to use Gmail since it gives the full email to my wrist.
EDIT:
Just noticed that Hangouts messages don't vibrate or make sounds either. Anyone else found other apps? I'm wondering if it's a Google thing, though Inbox working would argue against that...
EDIT AGAIN:
Hangouts message just vibrated. It's definitely consistent with Gmail, but now I'm wondering if there's some random element to this. Or if I'm just going crazy. lol
Hello. Same problem here with my Samsung Gear Sport and Oneplus 3T. It's driving me crazy. I haven't tested the Inbox app yet, but I installed Outlook as an alternative to Gmail (which I didn't uninstall). I received one vibration for one first mail via Outlook and then it stopped as well, no vibrations anymore for incoming mails. I have verified all my settings in the Gear app and in the Gmail, Outlook app. My phone is getting the notifications (sound, vibration, icon on top), but on the watch I only have a pop-up of the mail and the small dot on the watch face, but no vibrations. Vibrations work fine with the calendar and the step counter.
My Gear recently (I'm not sure for how long really) stopped giving ANY notifications at all. I've checked all the setting in both the Gear app and Oreo to no avail. It's not much of a Smartwatch if it won't do notifications at all. That's half the reason I bought it (HR monitoring is the other 50%).
I had the same problem with Gmail on my Sport 3. I also use TypeApp as my default email client on phone linked to Gmail. If you allow notifications for this app on the phone (in settings>notifications), then allow notifications in Gear you will get vibrations for all email received. Its not quite as fast at receiving email as the native Gmail client, but it does work. I don't have any other notification issues other than the Gmail one.
I use Inbox (by Google) to receive Gmail emails, instead of Gmail itself. The notifications work for me.

I also have the same problem using my Honor View 10 with my GS3.
When receiving GMAIL new email, the message shows directly on screen without making my watch ring or vibrate.
Using Inbox solves the issue but :
- messages are truncated : only few lines are displayed, there are less options.
- Inbox notifications on my phone (android 8.0) are different : it only shows an small icon on the upper notification bar whereas gmail shows a full popup with message and action buttons. So using Inbox is not good for me
If anyone has a full workaround, please get my thanks in advance.
I have been having this issue since I went on the beta Oreo on my S8. I thought it was an issue with that and I am hoping once the official Oreo comes my notification vibrations will return. After reading this I am now not so sure.
Definitely a problem within Oreo. No vibration on Gear for gmail for me and also not for Viber, though reverting to older Viber helped but I noticed differences in notification options between older and newer Viber. My guess is that Oreo tries to manage notifications differently for some apps that allow it to and this messes up the Gear notification somehow.
Same here. Was working fine with Note 8, switched to Pixel 2 XL and now I'm not getting vibrations for Gmail notifications. Everything else appears to be notifying correctly.
Similar issue for me
I have the original Pixel XL and everything has been working fine for 3 months. Then about 3-5 days ago I started not getting notification sounds or vibrations on my Gear s3 frontier for gmail or text messages. I have tried resetting both the phone and gear multiple times and starting over completely and it doesn't work. Pretty useless when those two are the most important to me.
Try uninstalling updates for the app. Worked for me with android messages for the exact same problem. It's the only thing that worked actually. Hope this helps!
Seems to be related to native Google apps running on Oreo devices. I noticed that my Google Assistant Reminders also don't vibrate on my watch but Google Hangouts is OK - so hit or miss. I use Textra for SMS so no issues with that.
Same here. Since I updated to Oreo gmail vibration stop working. Galaxy s8 + Frontier
Same thing here, I updated my S8 to oreo and gmail nots don't vibrate. I realized that from time to time incoming calls neither. Even some kind of reminders do the same. Before updating the phone everything was running ok...
I'm having issues with email notifications from the stock Sammy mail app not showing on my Gear....
It's not even listed in the Gear app.
Tried reinstalling the app and resetted the watch.
This issue appeared when I resetted my phone after flashing oreo.
Any suggestions?

Hi!
I'm having 2 problems with the mail notifications:
1. Sporadically loosing notifications.
Sometimes, my Email-notification just won't work.
That is, I receive an email but it won't vibrate, notify or play the sound :S
There's like 2-3 seconds before the app updates and there I can see that there is a new email and sometimes when it updates and there is even newer mail, those will be downloaded after update is complete.
2. Sounds and vibrates twice.
When I do get an email notification, the phone alerts and vibrates twice, even though there is only one notification in the statusbar and only 1 email recieved.
This started after I updated to 2.21.401.10
I have re-added the account and turned off notifications in the Gmail-app..
Any ideas?
I'm also having the issue of my One S not playing any notification sound when I receive a mail.
I don't have "refresh on open" set up, so I know it's an older message sitting there in my inbox, but no notification about it. Is it btw. normal that all the mail I receive is already marked as read?
EDIT: Running stock Rom with the 4.0.4 Android OTA Update and using IMAP on Yahoo Mail.
I found something related to issue #2...
When I get an email and doesn't clear it from the notification bar, it chimes every 5 minutes to remind me. Loving it during the night!
Maybe this is the culprit to the whole issue...So how do I get rid of it?

my one s also not playing sounds or vibrating for new emails. even though its all been enabled in settings
Same here: One S playing notification sound twice upon receiving new email. It happens just sometimes, apparently random. Never had this issue until 2.21...
I think that push mail also doesn't always work: a few times it seems to not download email until I wake the phone. Not sure on this though.
Mine doesn't notify me for text messages at time.
Has someone ever solved the problem of the email notification ringing twice?
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 my watch, 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 of the watch, 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 then discovered that in the gear manager, in the notifications manager, I haven't ticked the "messaging" app because... there isn't one. Honor 6 has no dedicated messaging app, it's condensed in the "phone" app. How can we fix this ?
Thank you for your feedback.
I switched off the stock email APP because it was showing the wrong number of mails on the icon.
I went back to Bluemail which I had used on my Moto Z without issue, took that off and now have Typeapp but same problem - no incoming email notification sound on either?
Any thoughts?

OK if you have done all the necessary settings (all permissions, notifications settings, ignoring Android optimization) then....
You have the same problem either if you leave the app open in resent apps?
This is a more general problem than just with BlueMail.
If you look back a few weeks you'll find a thread about MailDroid, that doesn't give a proper notification tone. I've had to change to Blue Mail, and it does notify properly for me. However when I first used it the app didn't always pick up a mail until I brought it out of lock. It seems to be OK now.
I think this is down to the Mate's aggressive battery-saving that is supposed to learn about app use.
And yes, I have checked the app settings and the phone settings over and over to make sure they are right.
Thanks for the replies. I tried another 3 APPS and all failed to play the notification when I sent a test mail from my PC.
I ended up back with an oldie I haven't used for years - K9 - and all is working as it should.
Not the most up to date look but if it works I'll settle for that. Four APPS with all the settings to key in and then delete it took me to midnight last night... enough was enough
Glad to hear you have found a substitute that works.
With so many different apps being affected, I'm sure there is a system problem with notifications. Hopefully this will be sorted with a future update.
Outlook works fine. Gmail is worse.

I have gmail running on my S8 and when I go to clear notifications (or access Gmail notifications via the pull-down) on my phone, suddenly my S3 will get multiple notifications from Gmail. Anyone else running into this issue? I get normal notifications from Gmail fine - just seems to send them again when I clear/access them on the phone.

I'm getting a similar issue with my S7 Edge and the Gear S3. I'll get a notification of having like 10-15 emails via Gmail, then if I try to swipe it away on my S3, I start getting essentially a countdown of email notifications all the way down to zero, with it vibrating or sounding with each one.
I have this same issue...did either of you get it figured out?

I'm having issues with notifications. Just wanted to see if I missed a setting or it's just lame by design, or even just need a re-pair/reset. but, when receiving multiple notifications from the same app, is there any way to dismiss the latest and keep the others? This was the way all previous versions of wear worked, all notifications stacked and you could dismiss each one and all others for that app would remain
Now if I get more than one email if I dismiss what is displaying on the watch all notifications for gmail app are cleared including on the phone. If I open and delete the email it shows me the next one.
God I wish Google would have taken over the software dev on this. I's great hardware, but gimped by it's own ambition.
