Probably due to the Gear Manager update. A lot of people are reporting problems.

Any solutions, my girlfriends gear 2 neo also doesnt show incomming calls. Allready disconnected Bt pairing, resetted watch, uninstalled gear manager, restarted phone, reinstalled gear manager, connected gear again ... same problem, when I call her, nothing happens on the gear. all other stuff works( apps , notifications etc ...)

The latest Gear Manager has given many users problems, I'm one of the few who experience such. The only solution we found so far is to Revert back to the previous version of Gear Manager, that's v2.1.xxx, and never update to latest, not until sammy has fixed it. If you can't find any link to download the previous version. Just reply here and I'll be glad to upload one. [emoji106]

older version of gear manager?
Can you send me the link for downloading?
Incoming calls are not getting to my gear 2.
Hope this will fix it.

I tried to install an older version (2.1.14071502) and installation was successful. But when the old version Gear Manager runs for the first time it forces me to update the new version. Otherwise it will close.

whenever it prompts me to update i just force close the app and reopen it, the prompt will not appear but after a few days it will prompt me again and i just repeat the process. Yeah i know it's a little hassle to do that every once in a while but at least no bugs anymore. I've also read that someone blocked the gear manager from using internet so update prompts wont appear.

I would also like the link to the old version of gear manager. Can somebody post a link?

hi guys just got off the phone w/samsung they were able to fix my watch remotely, now its back to normal

How did they fix it.. please let us know

My friend I have the same problem with my gear s2 i will appreciate if you share a link to download previous version, thank you in advance...

Try factory resetting your watch, rebooting your phone, and checking again. Make sure that your galaxy app has updated and your phone is updated to the latest software os

I too can't find it in the app store.
Does anyone have a link to the most recent version's apk? It worked great for me with tizenmod 3.0

yup, did all that and then some. Still doesnt show in the samsung app store

I've reverted to this gear manager from July, seems to be working fine with notifications. I'd still like the most recent working apk, I think it was from october. obviously the new update broke something, so they're in the process of fixing it and releasing another update (at this point, gear manager is not in the galaxy app store)

whoa, awesome! I'll probably run with the July build, for now anyway. seems fine. let me know how your device turns out.

I got the update yesterday. Post update gear manager crashes on clicking settings. So much for QA by samsung.
Embarrassing for them.

When the gear manager wants to update, bring up the task list and swipe it away. Launch it again and it won't ask to update.

just a heads up, I uninstalled it again today and it showed in the app store and I reinstalled it and its back to working like normal. There is now an emergency notification system built in to the watch and the settings are in that menu.

I've been having the same problems. Firsrgear manager was crashing when trying to open settings. Then it wouldn't open at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled complete with full wipe and still nothing. I used the other build that someone provided a few posts back and that works for now. But now I'm noticing that the other watch face apps I use (MW and WS) have disappeared from the app store. Had anyone else noticed this?
Side question. I'm new to the gear 2, just purchased last week. If I was to reroot the gear and find an MW apk, is there a way to side load the MW apk without using the phone but still have the phone recognize it?

Newer Version makes it worse.
How do you keep the old version running when the warning box forces you to install the newest crap version that won't allow the connection? Mine is a brand new Black Friday Gear 2 Neo that was working fine at first, then wouldn't hold the connection. Now it won't connect at all. December update? I downloaded an older version and got them to connect, had everything connecting with the old version and then my phone got commandeered and the newest version just installed.

Thanks for the thought. I spent 3 hours a couple of nights ago with a nice Samsung tech who tried everything and then admitted he had had 4 calls that day from people whose Gear 2 would not connect to their phone after the latest (December 1, 2014) update. So in spite of all the updates, Samsung keeps making things worse instead of better.
The idea of swiping it off hasn't worked for me on my Note 3. But I have developed a workaround (not a solution) similar to the Ipse_Tase suggestion just above. I downloaded a really old version of Gear Manager at http://www.mediafire.com/download/yo17ta4qyrx50zj/GearManager1_2.apk , installed it, paired the device to the watch, and a connection was established. If you try to actually open the old Gear Manager after the pairing you will get a threatening warning screen saying they're going to delete everything from your Gear 2. But if you just leave the Gear Manager open and running with the warning screen on (don't click cancel or OK), use the phone normally with Gear Manager running, you can use the pre-installed Samsung programs on the watch. If I click cancel the Gear Manager closes and I have to start over. You can turn off automatic updates in the Galaxy App Store, but you'll still get the threatening message that they're going to hard reset your Gear 2. Just leave the message on the screen, let the program run, and use whatever other programs you want to on the phone.
Advantages: Your Gear is not a brick or just a time piece. You are paired. You're not hard resetting the device or trying to pair and connect all the time. You have access to Schedule, Notifications, Weather, Phone functions, S Voice, anything Samsung-based. You can control any app that can be adjusted from the watch itself.
Disadvantages: You can't change or adjust any app that would have to be done from the phone. Third party apps don't work because you can't use the Galaxy App store to get them or install/run them.
But it's better than nothing until Samsung gets its act together and provides an update that actually improves things rather than bricking your watch.
Has anyone found a way to actually use an older version of Gear Manager to download apps, manage the watch, etc. since all the recent updates seem to cut off the bluetooth connection?

Fluke Recovery
I decided to try to install the newest Samsung update to Gear Manager one more time--just to get a log to send to Samsung. Cleared Bluetooth pairing, uninstalled everything, reinstalled newest version. Failed several times, then finally paired, then finally ran through the bootup process and I am now connected and reinstalling programs, pictures, etc. on the Gear 2 Neo. We'll see how long this lasts. I'll keep you posted. For now, I'm illogically hopeful.

Bad news. Back to square 1. The newest (December 1) update to Gear Manager is no good for Gear 2 Neo with Galaxy Note 3. It will pair and you can get a brief bluetooth connection from the watch to the phone, and sometimes even from the phone to the watch. But it disappears after about 60 seconds. I'm sure it's the Gear Manager update. You can get certain apps to work during the brief periods of connection, but you can't do any settings from the phone, or use the Gear App store through the Gear Manager.
Does anyone know a way to uninstall or bypass the current new version of Gear Manager and install an older version alongside it? If I uninstall it I have learned from bad experience that it will hard reset the watch and I will lose all the time I have spent (3-4x in the last 3-4 days) setting it up. And worst of all, it will delete all Gear Apps that I have paid for from the phone, and I will have to reinstall them whenever I get a connection, and set them all up again.

Workaround
As I was suggesting last night, the best workaround I can come up with is still to install the older version (linked above) by APK, and then leave the warning message running. This way you can get a steady bluetooth connection for as long as you need it, and you can operate all Samsung apps and some 3rd party apps too. You can't, however, use the Gear Manager. You can only make changes/adjustments that can be done from the watch. But it's better than nothing until Samsung gets its act together.

Just FYI, I got the same setup as you and out of curiosity I DID update Gear Manager (now called Samsung Gear) to get a fully functional S Health (also updated)...seems to be working fine so far. Even Watch Styler still works.

Sounds like I should try it

Thanks for this tip. I think you mean that you went ahead and ran the update on the new version (December 1?). Or do you mean you ran an update on the older version I mention above? I'd like to try it to see if they've gotten rid of the bug. Are you saying everything seems to be working fine and your phone updated acceptably?

Samsung Gear S2 no notification on text messages and emails

Help please, I'm not receiving notifications on text messages and emails nor hangouts and fb messenger. I'm using Xiaomi Mi4i, Lollipop 5.0.2. What should I do? I'm becoming desperate. I already did the light reset and factory reset but still I have the same problem. I also signed in my Samsung account. PLease helpppp... thanks in advance

Assuming that your using hangouts for SMS, you need to install the Android Wear app. Make sure that in the Samsung Gear app your apps are selected for notifications.

I'm not using hangout as my default sms. but I'm not receiving any sms nor email notifications. I already downloaded Android App, how do I pair it with gear s2? whats the procedure?.. Thanks for the reply..

There is no need for pairing with the Android app, it just needs to exist. Have you checked the Notifications in the Gear app to insure you're allow notification from particular apps?

What do you mean 'download android wear'? This is Tizen based, nothing to do with Android Wear. As far as I know you need Samsung Gear app on your phone. Am I missing something here?

Downloading the Android Wear app onto your phone from the Play Store can extend support for certain apps like hangout, etc. Even on Tizen. It doesn't replace the Samsung Gear app, but it can complement it.

Thanks, I will try, did not know the Android Wear app was compatible with Samsung Gear watches.

Must admit I realised today emails and texts rarely notify on my S6.

Gear s2 message forwading
Talked to Samsung rep today. He said the lg v10 is not on the list of supported devices and should be soon with a new update in the weeks to come which should enable text message forwarding to the v10. He recommended a 3rd party app from the play store called textra sms. It works to forward texts and reply as well.. You need to make it your primary sms app and select it under the gear manager notification setting in the gear app.

Thank you webberfan. I have the lg v10 (love it, not going back lol), and textra is working great and forwarding them to my gear s2.
Glad i found this thread!

I am getting hangouts notifications, and I did not install the android wear app. I just gave permissions to the Hangouts app to show notifications.

I decided to go back to Verizon and try another watch and the second one is working near perfect. It has not missed a single notification, knock on wood. It seems the first one was bad. I should have know when I had to reset it almost immediately when the heart rate monitor and steps would not function. So far so good with the new one.

Thank you

But now its working again.

Text Message notifications no working on Gear S3 Frontier

Hi.
Have the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier BT version paired with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

Anyone else experience a problem receiving message notifications?

Do you use the stock Samsung SMS app on the phone? If not, that may be the issue.

Try this... on the watch open the message app and try to send your self a txt.. on mine the first time i open the app it said i was not using the stock app on my phone and gave me the option to switch it..

I sent a txt to myself via the watch (no prompt to change app as using the default app already).
Phone received the txt as did the watch.
Watch now displaying notifications of txt's received without making any system changes.
Must have been caught in a lost loop or something.
Weird but I will certainly remember this solution should it occur again.
Cheers.

interesting. I also sent a text to myself and this started working with the default SMS app.

I have the same problem, but that did not fix it for me.
I have Gear s3 Frontier. Number sync on . Connected to s6 edge plus via Bluetooth.
It has been working fine. It quit a few days ago, and I couldn't get it fixed, ended up uninstalling everything and doing a reset on the watch. This is terribly inconvenient, setting up NumberSync again etc.
I go to notification settings on the phone in the gear app and Messages is not listed anymore. I get the texts on the watch, but only if I go into the app. Any help?

That's the problem. "messages" is now missing from there. It's not listed at all. No option to turn it on. Only way is to factory reset the gear and Uninstall and re install gear app on the phone.

I'm in France and i have exactly the same problem since a few days without doing anything in the settings of the gear s3 classic or in the phone (an s7) : all the notifications except sms and "messages" is no more in the gear app settings. Sorry for my english and thank you for the futur help.
Francis.

+1 same problem is that Messages is not showing up as an option within the Gear app's Notification tab/window. It was there previously before recent update on S3 Frontier (using S7 Edge).

I haven't found a fix yet. Only thing that fixes if for a while is completely in installing gear app and resetting the gear itself. But then you have to set everything up again. Very frustrating. I opened a ticket with att and Samsung, haven't heard back in a couple weeks though. Lol

Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. Hopefully they fix it soon...

Same issue here - factory reset of the phone was the only thing that fixed it. Then started to do the same thing a couple days later.

Don't forget to set notifications to On in the phone app
Hi there, had the same issue. I found that although the phone was set to notifications in settings...that in the actual message app (standard one) under settings there, my notifications were set to OFF! So, seems like you need to set notifications ON in app on phone, on the phone settings, in the Gear app..and make sure you give it some sort of vibrate/noise in settings on watch, then it should work! :good:

I've had the issue crop up a couple times but was able to resolve it by activating the cellular on the watch and sending a text to the phone. Yesterday, that didn't work. Today I noticed that instead of 2 Bluetooth connections for the S3 on the phone, there is now 1, shows call audio. Wondering if this is the root of the problem. Can others who have the problem check and see if this is occurring on your phones as well?

here's the fix: Go into your app mananger on your phone, click on the Gear S plugin app, then click on storage and clear the cache. Restart your gear s3 and it's back to normal

I am having the exact same issue as you with my s3. Did you ever find a solution? I have searched far and wide but im stumped. Even had Samsung look at the watch, but of course they found nothing.

I'm having this problem now too... It just started out of nowhere. I can see the message on my watch if I scroll to the notifications screen, but it does not vibrate nor show when I twist my wrist... I have tried everything... Every single thing necessary is on. I've even done a factory reset WITH uninstalling all the apps on my phone and installing everything in order again. Setup the watch as new. This isn't cool. Half of the reason I have this watch is for notifications. Seriously, Sammy needs to get it together! I've been having WAY too many problems with this watch in the last couple months.
Anyone found a fix? Nothing anyone has mentioned previously works.

Having the same issue here. No freaking idea what's going on. Have tried just about everything. Textra works but AM doesn't. Even Gmail doesn't work. So basically it seems like Google apps aren't working

Note 10+ Galaxy Watch 4 Plugin keeps stopping

Hello,
I have the Note 10+ and the new Galaxy Watch 4. Since a recent update now on the phone it says that the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 Plugin keeps stopping. I've tried wiping cache and data on the plugin, the wear app on the phone, wiping cache and dalvik, going back to the last version all without any resolution. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this and if there's a fix for it.
Thanks in advanced

I'm having the same problem on a Note 20 ultra.
The watch is discovered by my phone. They Bluetooth pair just fine, but I can never get past the "Agree" screen to actually get the watch connected to galaxy wear before the app crashes.
- Removed and uninstalled the Galaxy Watch Plugin (for the 2018 model)
- Unpaired my Galaxy watch (2018)
- Uninstalled Smart Things (Suggestion on another forum)
- Uninstalled Android System Webview (suggestion on another forum)
- Factory reset my phone and did not restore
Nothing I do works, Samsung support was rude to say the least. They are replacing the watch as that's what they suspect the problem is.
I suspect crappy app development.

I don't blame you. Have you looked at the plugin version and seen if you can roll back to a later apk to test it? Cleared cache/data and uninstalled and reinstalled? Any weird third party apps installed?

I was suspecting third party apps so I just factory reset and uninstalled and many apps as I was allowed to uninstall. (Carriers here have almost no bloatware).
Unfortunately the version I have for the plugin appears to be the only version. I might be able to roll back the galaxy wear app. The only other thing I can think of is an issue with the latest update for my phone.

Hello,
I have the Note 10+ and the new Galaxy Watch 4. Since a recent update now on the phone it says that the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 Plugin keeps stopping. I've tried wiping cache and data on the plugin, the wear app on the phone, wiping cache and dalvik, going back to the last version all without any resolution. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this and if there's a fix for it.
Thanks in advanced

I have similar issue and no resolution. My phone is OnePlus 7T Pro and the Galaxy Watch4 plugin keeps crashing if I try to open Galaxy Wearable app. This started happening only on the second evening after installing that app and pairing the watch.
I have looked at the stacktrace by sending feedback and checking the details. The stacktrace indicates my crashes have something to do with Samsung Pay which isn't even available in my country (Finland).

I could for sure remove samsung pay, i don't even use it (I use google pay).
This is really dumb though, it shouldn't be this difficult to setup a watch.

Interesting.... My phone has samsung pay on it but I have it frozen with Titanium backup and so far no issues here. Other than Samsung did an EPIC fail releasing this watch with no BP monitor since that's the main reason I bought it. Luckily I found a work-around here on XDA to fix that

No dice for me, same issue even without Samsung pay.

If I'm interpreting the stack trace correctly, the problem is that the app (Watch4 plugin) receives an invalid response or something it doesn't understand. It's trying to update something related to Samsung Pay from a server or from watch.
I guess it will get fixed with an update and hopefully soon.
PS. Next time when the crash dialog pops up could you press the report button and then check the details of what would get sent? In the details there's a button to open the stack trace. Check if the first few rows mention anything about Samsung Pay

After today's update to Galaxy Wearable app and to the watch the crashes are now gone. I'm trying to not touch anything Samsung Pay related in the wearable app or the watch to not trigger whatever was causing the crashes. It might still be that it's some scheduled job that only starts after a while like it did on the first time.

Unfortunately, it won't let me actually see the log files of what happened. Just lets me send them off to Samsung via Samsung members. I can't even view the logs there either.
They probably go off to an unmonitored inbox

Hi same problem here, Oneplus 7T Pro. Any fixes? It's very annoying. Tried everything except for clean wipe my phone.

For me it stopped after the watch got update and I've not touched anything Samsung Pay related since. Have you already got the watch update?

GUYS I GOT IT WORKING!!!
1) Uninstall the galaxy watch 4 plugin
2) Clear cache and atorage
3) Unpair the watch4 if it actually Bluetooth paired
3) Download and install the Galaxy Watch 3 plugin (I had to download the apk outside the ayatore)
4) setup your watch again. I was shocked when the app didn't crash.
