Hi.
I have my Gear S2 Classic paired with a Galaxy S8 running android oreo, and I will get vibrating notifications for calls and texts, but nothing else.
On my Galaxy S5 it worked great. I really miss vibrating notifications for reminders.
Have any of you experienced this? Can there a setting on the phone or something else I have missed?

I think there is a setting where you choose which apps that gets to send notifications to the watch. Check in the Gear app on the phone.

Yes, and I have checked all apps I want notifications from. And I do get the notifications on the gear S2, it just doesn´t vibrate any more. For calls and texts it vibrates, but not for any other notifications.
Am I the only one having this issue?
Same here, I get notifications without vibration for almost all apps. Calls vibrates, SMS vibrates also (even though I am using Textra and not default app) and even Whatsapp vibrates. Sadly Viber does not and I really need it to.

I´m sorry you have the same issue as me. But at the same time I´m a bit happy that I´m not alone. I use textra for sms just like you. And calls, sms and Whatsapp vibrates for me to. That´s it.
I contacted Samsung support and they suggested a factory reset of the phone. Wich I did last night. Sadly it didn´t do any difference.
Hopefully we will get some help to resolve this soon. I need my notifications on my Gear to work!!!
Yeah, I tried factory as well this morning but no help. Contacted Samsung also, but no reply yet. Sad thing is that it was working fine until like 2 weeks back and suddenly it stopped. No Gmail vibration either. I tried everything I stumbled across, reinstalling Gear app, reseting watch, deleting app data, factory on phone, older versions of Gear app, turning vibration on in the android notification settings for each app. Nothing. I am afraid it has to do with Android itself, because only thing I can remember is some minor android update happening, no Gear updates as far as I can recall.
I did try with different older phone and there it was working fine
Still hope it will came back to life.

Okay quick notice, last thing I could think of - deleted Viber and downloaded older version from like 2 months ago. Now its working for viber. I guess that on Oreo the notifications are handled somehow differently as I can see that in each application the Android can change tons of things (Settings - application - choose any app - Notification)
So probably this is somehow tied to sending vibration to the Gear as well. So the older version of Viber is not yet "integrated" into Oreo notification management and that is why its working. Probably?
As I mostly use Viber, I will stick with the old version as long as its working hoping some other solution will be found in the meantime. Will try to contact Viber team as well.
The last answer I got from Samsung support, after testing their suggestions, was that the only thing I could do was to wait for an update. For the Gear s2 I assume. So for now I´m stuck with this lack of notifications. :crying:

Since I've had my phone, whenever i get notifications, pushbullet, gmail, even text and google voice, they'll get delayed until i wake my phone.
Sometimes they come through instantly, but they mostly wait until i wake the phone then they all come through at once.
Has anyone else been experiencing this or know of a fix?

Samsung Push Service update
Samsung Push Service is oy applicable to Samsung apps.
the problem seems to mainly be with gmail and pushbullet. I just woke up and the second i woke my phone, i had 4 gmail notifications all hit me at once, but the emails actually came in like 6 hrs ago...
I have the same problem, for me it's with all applications. Already see the problem with Twitter, K9-mail, pushbullet, instagram and Hangouts. The same problem also see with Peel Smart remote like if smartphone sleet. But when I wake up, 10 seconds after I receive all notifications.
I'm having the same issue as well. Twitter, FB, Instagram, Amazon, etc. They show up after my screen has been on for a while...

Same problems here with both my wife's and and my phone. Once the phone is woken up all the notifications arrive. Though I will say, it's mainly Google related products, so wondering if it's a bug with Google apps or their servers? I've been getting a lot of updates the past week with their apps. One reason I think it's Google is with Hangouts, SMS works perfectly, but Hangouts via wifi is delayed and only notifications with Hangouts wifi will appear once the phone is woken. So makes me wonder if it is Google?
The notifications when you wake the phone is a feature in Motion and Gestures as Smart Alert. Its basically just reminding you that you received something when the phone was asleep!

I thought this feature makes the phone vibrate when you pick it up to let you know that you have received a notification.
For me, problem seems related to heartbeat interval. By default is 5 minutes, but if I cange it to 3 minutes, I receive my notifications.
I used "Push Notifications Fixer" on the Play Store to change the settings and seems work for the moments.
This is very much related to the problem I have seen and reported to ATT and Samsung

I"ve been having the same issues...I think it started after the last android update...I have the blue edge...other factor is that i have to use a micro cell tower
That is very odd, normally if you have this problem it is out the box, but it would not surprise me if the update breaks it. Again i would suggest you contact Samsung and let them know as well as your carrier.
I posted a writeup on reddit. Please upvote! This needs visibility.

You need to contact your Carrier and Samsung. That is the only way it will get resolved, they don't follow Reddit or any of these forums. Contact them direct.

Hey guys hope some one can help.
So new gear s2 for Xmas worked brilliantly at 1st received notifications no problem as of Monday iv stopped receiving them. Do receive txt messages but not what's app. Google weather all the old 1s I did receive. Iv got a samsung s6 edge all updated. Iv factory reset the watch still nothing. Don't want to send it back love it.
Cheers guys.
Hi,
can't help to solve your problem but got the exact same problem.
Receiving notifications once after soft reset and then never again - except incoming calls. Checked all settings - notifications are enabled in the gear app and the watch itself is also NOT set to "dont disturb". Very annoying! Can anyone help?
Cheers Thomas
Hello,
I have the same problem.
I used a Gear 2 before with my Galaxy S6 and that worked fine.
When I started using my S2 I did receive a Whatsapp notification on my watch but then it got an update via Gear Manager, it rebooted and now I get no notifications other then SMS, phone and standard mail. No FB, Google, Messenger, Whatsapp ect.
All my settings in Gear Manger are the same as I used with the Gear 2.
Samsung Gear 2.2.15111841
Gear Plugin 2.2.03.15111841
Gear manager, latest version.

My Gear S2 Classic started missing notifications yesterday. Re-booted the watch (hold Home button to turn off, then same to turn on). Notifications working fine now!
My problem was that the setting in the Gear App, under Notifications got turned Off!!!
Once I turned that back on, I started getting everything.

Hello again,
I found a solution for my problem. I had tried rebooting before but that didn't help. After digging a bit on this forum I tried the following:
Deleted watch on phone in BT settings.
Rebooted phone.
Added watch again by just using BT settings (not via Gear manager).
Watch connected and all worked as it should.
I hope this works for somebody else as well.

Hi,
found my problem from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3285032: the watch needs to be "worn" in order to show notifications.
In my case the problem was the NATO strap I bought as an replacement for the leather strap. The new strap covered the backside of the watch (I do not use the pulse sensor anyway) which lead to the watch thinking that it was not worn - it seems to need contact with the skin on the backside in order to consider to be worn.
So I replaced it with an two-part strap and now notifications are received again. Weird that this is not mentioned by Samsung (I did not find it at least).
Cheers,
Thomas
Hi!
After the last update my Gear S2 Clasic no longer receive lost call notofications and the other ones enaled received with huge delay, my gear is connected to a Galaxy S5, I don't know what to do, maybe it's a bug ?! Any idea ?
Saw this thread and thought I would post my experience.
Received watch and worked well with all notifications that should be received being received. I was charging the watch and figured I would shut it down as well during charging. After boot up it no longer received notifications. I tried a bunch of stuff including restarting the watch, restarting my phone, changing notification settings and finally doing a soft reset requiring me to unpair and re-pair Bluetooth through the Samsung app. All of this was done with me wearing the watch and nothing worked.
I stumbled upon the thread above saying notifications weren't being received when the watch isn't being worn. So I tried taking it off and putting it back on but no luck. Finally, I took it off, turned it off, turned it back on with it still not being on my wrist and finally after waiting 5 minutes or so of it being on, I put it back on my wrist and voila, notifications!
So, my best guess is that when I started up the watch with it being on my wrist the watch believed it wasn't being worn and since I never took it off that never changed. Or maybe it just decided to work after the last reset but from now on, if I shut it down, I will boot it back up when it is not being worn and then put it on after a little time.
I like the watch a lot but it is a bit finicky.
Thank you so much!!! This fixed my problem! I've been looking for weeks now and nothing worked! I'm always wearing it when I turn it on so that must mess with it. Thanks so much for your post!

Since I updated my Pixel to Android 8.0 Oreo about a month ago, I don't get any notifications any more. The only thing that seems to be working is phone calls which I can see on my gear.
What I've tried to do, to solve it:
- Cleared data for the Gear app
- Uninstalled and reinstalled all Samsung applications
- Factory reset the Gear
- Checked that the Gear app has permission to notifications
- Checked that the Gear has the latest firmware
- Rebooted my Pixel
- Tried to connect my Gear S3 to a Huawei phone running Android 7.0 (notifications worked)
- Contacted Google that said the issue probably is because the Samsung app doesn't support Oreo
- Contacted Samsung that said Google is "probaby right" and I'll have to wait for an firmware update for the Gear which they have no ETA for?
If Google is right, everyone with Oreo should have this problem? Or atleast someone else? Is that the case?
I have Oreo beta on my Nokia 8 and have no problems which weren't present on nougat.
No issues with notifications.

Ok, does anyone else have any idea of what can be the issue for me?
I'm having the same issue. Also with my pixel. Tried everything you have also done. Almost at the stage I'm about to switch back to my old moto 360 until they release a patch. Not being able to receive any type of notification is a deal breaker for me.
have you tried to clean cache, stop the Bluetooth process on pixel and run it again?
Anybody got solution for this?
I upgraded OnePlus 3 to Oreo and notifications stopped showing on Gear.
Soon afterwards I upgraded Gear to Tizen 3 but that didi't solve problem.
The new software update that was released a few days ago solved the issue for me.
Exactly the same problems and frustrations
In short, have tried all the same actions as set out by yourself. No Gear 3 notifications started with Pixel upgrade to Android 8.0. Like others have stated here, makes wearing and relying on Gear watch very marginal. I bought Gear watch to pickup notifications when doing outdoors, relatively hands free sporting activities.
Everyone: please keep THIS discussion thread alive in search of eventual solution. Thanks. John, Sydney Australia
Same issues
I recently purchased a gear s3 Frontier watch, after much researching, it was the one that most fit my wants.
It is paired with my Pixel phone and for the first 3 or 4 days it worked great but now I don't receive any notifications at all except for Samsung Health... Notifications are all turned on but nothing comes through?
It seemed to have started with the Tizen 3.0 update. But could't say if it was immediately after or a day or two later. I've done multiple resets but nada.
Phone calls do come through to the watch but my phone doesn't ring anymore when the watch is connected..
No settings were changed on the watch or the phone app.. One day it worked fine, the next day, everything quit...
This is very disappointing... these notifications were the reason I wanted a smart watch in the first place.
Any idea whats going on?
The watch is SM-R760 running Tizen 3.0.0.1 version R760XXU2CQL1
Knox 2.2.0
Know Tizen 2.2.0
SE for Tizen 1.0.0
TIMA 3.0.0
Pixel Phone on Android 8.1.0
Snapdragon S8 on nougat with a similar problem. My notifications will disable themselves and the switch to turn them back on will be grayed out and unselectable. Only way to get them to work again is by rebooting the watch and the phone, but it will only work for a few hours until it's broken again.
I have a similar problem with my Oneplus 3.
Evertyhing worked fine until I updated my phone to OxygenOS 5.0.3 Android 8.0.0. Since then the Gear S3 doesn't receive any notification. The only one are phone calls.
The settings for notifications are on (in the Gear App and OS settings unchanged). Resetting the watch didn't change anything. Round about 2 times a day the gear looses the bluetooth connection for ~30 seconds which is new as well.
Resetting the phone is no option.
Any ideas or new information about this problem?

I reinstalled the Gear app, repaired and resetted the watch which didn't change anything.
Though I forget about the Samsung Accessory Service app. After reinstalling this, rebooting the phone and repairing the watch the notifitications are working again.
In the matter of connection loss I can't tell not yet.

I know this is an old thread, but I stopped getting notifications on my Oneplus 7 Pro - Android 10. I had to turn off battery optimization for the three Samsung apps - Galaxy Wear, Gear Plug in and Samsung Accessory Service. I now have notifications back.
Hello,
I really have big problems with my Gear S3 and the notifications with Android 10 (xioami.eu) last beta.
Viber = never worked at all
Messenger = till 2 days ago was working, now stopped
What I have already done:
.) checked all notification setting (gear app, xiaomi settings)
.) installed notch test
.) cache deleted from all "problem-apps"
.) complete new install from gear app, WITHOUT import the "old" settings and restared completely new
.) tried with AVRCP Version 1.5 (read it somewhere)
I installed on my MI9 (global): Gear apk, Samsung Health and Samsung Accessory Service.
Nothing really works.
Someone an idea, what else I could try?
Same issue
I am on miui 11 android 10 stable release.
Notification on gear s3 worked for couple days then just not working.
Tried resetting watch, reinstalling gear apps. No luck
Anyone with fix?
I'm on Android 10 with my OnePlus 7 Pro and my Gear S3 constantly just disconnects from the watch. Only ways to get it to reconnect are to wait for it to do it eventually on its own or force stop the samsung accessory service then reopen the samsung gear app.
It's driven me to the point of replacing the watch altogether as no one seems interested in a fix for this.
Check background running permission
Did you check that.?

Hello everyone, I am not able to receive Whatsapp incoming call notifications from S22 Ultra on my Galaxy Watch 3. The same watch if I pair with my old S20 FE, all notifications are perfectly fine. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling Wearable app on my phone but no use. I even reset my watch several times and setting it up from scratch without restoring any backups. But the problem still persists with S22 U. I checked all settings in Wearable app including notification settings for Whatsapp and all set properly.
Is anyone else having this issue? I there any solution to get whatsapp call notifications?
I found a temporary workaround. Downgrading Watch3 plugin to version 2.2.09.22071151 will bring back the WhatsaApp call notifications.
Please note that if you uninstall watch plugin, it will prompt for resetting watch. So backup your watch settings before proceeding.
Using your work around thanks..
Has it been fixed yet though?
