Hi, owned my Gear S3 for about 5 months now and it is awesome.
Just one issue though;
I have Outlook installed on my phone for work purposes and meeting reminders come up on the watch, usually 15 minutes before the meeting (obviously to give me time to prepare / get to the meeting room etc), which is great, but even if I dismiss it and clear all notifications from the watch, it still comes up every single minute. So that's 15 reminders before the meeting, which is becoming very irritating.
The only way to get rid of it, is to select "Open on phone", which works, but then my phone screen is on and whilst it is in my pocket (as I am driving a lot), becomes very hot!
If I dismiss it from my phone, then it's fine, but very often I am out and about in my car so the phone cannot be used.
Is there anyone else who has this and has a potential workaround?
Many thanks in advance
Mark
Hi Mark,
I have the same issue using a Redmi 4x and a Gear S3 watch. Its very annoying and I have not found a workaround yet.
However, when I get the Outlook notification on my watch, I click the 3 dots on the right hand side of its screen and select the trash can. This deletes the Outlook notification and the phone stops nagging every minute.
Hope this works for you.

Hi... I think this is an Outlook app issue and not a watch issue. I have had the same issue with a Garmin as well as a Huawei and now the S3.
I've noticed that, when I pick reminders on some programs, sometimes it chooses 2 options. So check your reminder and make sure you only have 15 mins selected. Maybe it's firing off on some button you missed when you set it up. Since I retired I don't use Outlook at all so I'm not that familiar anymore.

Grrr...this is not the same ol' missing reminder problem. at this point, i almost WISH i had that problem.
issue #1 (ongoing) - how do i disable the repeating calendar reminders? the phone chirps and chirps and chirps every 20-30 seconds until i press dismiss. i could have sworn i found a reg key on WM 6.0 that disabled this, but i came up empty when searching again today.
and now issue #2 which i ran into today. with the phone on VIBRATE because i was going someplace important for a meeting, the calendar reminders are still $^#&@*@$#$ audible!! WTF!! reminder and notification are both set to vibrate in the profile, with a volume of zero. then why the $^%#@* are they still being played??
if anyone can help, you'll save my sanity...or at least save my Blackjack from being hurled into traffic.
The first one is just what windows does... I've never been bothered to disable it though...
The second one I've never had. Couple of things to try:
soft reset
hard reset
reflash of ROM
Failing all of those, I know someone that would happily let there pockets get in the way of your blackjacks trip to the road!
I find some alatm/clock but it is so complicate with many options or they dont have option that I need.
Alarm/reminder need to be simple and have options to repeat alarm (yearly,month,weekly...), and auto repeat alert when is not see and off alarm.
And need to have list of all appointments.
thanks.
ptravelalarm is the one i've been using for a few years now
Moved as not software release.
I just want a reminder thing that actually reminds me. Any suggestions? The installed calendar fails miserably in this respect. I added Calendar Event to the phone, and that doesn't fit the bill either. I downloaded COL reminder, but it seems I need to load them all into the program, instead of it reading my calendar reminders. My WM6.1 phone did just fine with this; add an appointment or reminder, even make it repeat every other day, and it actually reminded me! At the selected time! Even Palm had this figured out.
I have tried setting different ring tones, setting it to vibrate all the time, setting test reminders between 2-30 minutes from when I type in the reminder. No consistent success. I have a cyclic reminder set for 0755 every morning to show me a Bible verse. I get pretty task saturated by then, so it's a good opportunity to stop and breathe. However, I don't see the reminder until hours later, usually when a second reminder for the day has popped up. What gives? Has anyone tried Nudnik?
Annoying isn't it? It's another one of those things that any Nokia brick from ten years ago did better. Makes you wonder if we're going forward or backwards.
isn't android already have an alarm in the clock application??
I do not know if I have a unique problem or I changed something in my settings but I have spent hours online and on my phone trying to figure this out. If I get a notification and pick up my phone within a short period of time (less than a minute or so), whatever app that notification came from launches and displays the item that sent the notification. For example, if I get a text message or email and pick up my phone with the intention of launching my web browser, the text message or email will pop up on my screen before I can do anything. This is great if I want to read that text or email but often I do not want to do that until later and it irritates the crap out of me to have to close that app and go where I intended. I think I may have changed a setting and cannot find my way back to the setting to turn it off but not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am posting this in case anyone else runs into this problem. I finally figured out it was not an S8 setting, it was a Gear watch setting. I turned on Smart Relay in the Gear settings and caused this.
Ok using the watch pass few days and few questions. I am not using a Samsung phone (OP 7pro) and on android 11 and watch software up to date
Notifications are sporadic. I am not getting notified by noise or vibration on watch for some WhatsApp and gmails? I have them set up as allowed in notifications on wear app. I have 3 Gmail accounts set up but seem to only get notifications for one assigned to Samsung account?
Also, not fitness freak but does the watch auto detect say when you go for a walk/run? It seems to kick in when I am 5 minutes into the walk/run, well that’s when I get notified?
Also have display set to Raise wrist to wake but this is also sporadic and sometimes I have to touch the screen for it to wake
Battery seems to be fine and have not tested voice calls on watch yet but not missed any calls yet while phone in pocket
Anyone has same issues and any way they sorted it other than turning it on and off
Cheers
Mine auto detects walking after 10 minutes.

So does it count these 10 mins or does a 30 minute run only record as 20 minute?
Yes records from start.
Notifications especially from Gmail are flakey at best and that's with a Samsung phone, started to use Samsung email app and works fine.
Cheers
Tried to get Samsung email app from Play store said phone not compatible

Try another, k3 used to be good..
Also here but only really says what I have, but in more posts..
Notification problems
Hello All Ive got the GW4 46mm BT classic paired with a Note20U both up to date , woke up this morning after watch been fine for a week and put my watch on but no notifications coming thru to the watch did quick restart on both no go. Reset...
forum.xda-developers.com
Yeah seems Samsung email app only works on Samsung phones
K3 email what is that? or any other email app that works with phone for notifications or I can try?
I think it's a Wear OS 3 problem and not a Samsung one
Yeah hopefully future updates can sort out notifications issues
How's everyone getting on regarding raise wrist to wake as it's temperamental for me
@funkyirishman , for the notifications, I had to go on the watch to the very bottom of the notifications settings, and tap "Show on Phone". Many of my phone's apps were toggled off including Gmail.
It's been much better after that.

Thanks think i had that on already
Seems to be sporadic have 3 gmail accounts and only getting notifications for one set to Samsung account?
Hi all, I've just upgraded from a Oneplus 8 pro to the S22 ultra, and happy with everything apart from the fact that calendar reminder notifications now disappear once the event has ended. So if I have a ckaednsr event from 8 to 8:30, and a reminder set to go off 15 mins before, the reminder will pop up as planned, but will disappear after 8:30.
That's a problem for me and I often have multiple reminder and don't get a chance to check them until later when I'm catching up on some events, except now the reminders are gone.
I never had this issue before with mostly oneplus phones for several years.
I'm using the Business Calendar app (now called PractiCal Schedule Planner. I thought maybe it's an app issue, but from searching online it seems this behaviour is now standard? Anything I can do to ensure the reminder notifications stay visible until I dismiss them?
Cheers
I have no idea how to fix it, but if you figure something out please reply here so I can get notified. I'm running into the same issue and it drives me crazy.
Haven't found a solution unfortunately, and a bit surprised that it doesn't seem to be an issue for many. Suggestions range from using a reminder app, or tasks, trying to use another calendar app and muting the stock app (didn't work for me),... Nothing sorted it
I just downloaded and purchased the "Recent Notifications" app.
I excluded all apps except the calendar app so now at least I can find all of my calendar reminders that have fired off in one place. It includes a 4x3 widget which is just waaaay too big to be useful,in my opinion, but I just click into the app to view them.
My S10 didnt have this issue, and why does my Secure Folder always want to open up every time I start my car? Why does my wifi say it isn't connected to the internet and the only fix is to turn off wifi and back on? And why doesn't my music autoplay in my car anymore? If the phone didnt have such a nice camera then I'd seriously think about switching back. Too many annoyances that didnt used to be annoyances.

No need for an additional app. There is a simple solution. Go to notifications...advanced settings...notification history....and turn it on...It keeps record of all notifications....even calendar events/meetings... I use outlook and had a meeting 1 day ago and the notification is still in the history, just had to scroll down to the meeting notification...It divides it into recent notifications and then a bit further down it divides it per app
