Same here had it for two weeks tmobile note 5 and for some reason I factory reset my phone and watch for better performance and now I hardly get any notifications
Make sure the option to ignore notifications while phone is awake is not selected. Can't remember exactly where I found it but that was my problem when I first got my watch.

Didn't fix the issue for. Me =/ I hope we get a software update soon
Same here. Option to ignore disabled, but it doesnt push notifications correctly. Sometimes they arrive some minutes later...

settings are all correct....I'm really starting to hate this watch...
There is option called limited notification, untick that.
Make sure you have selected all apps that you need notification.
I had the watch for 4 days and reset it about three or four times but could never get the notifications to work like they should. I would get some and not get others. All the setting were right. I finally returned it today. Mine was from Verizon. I really loved the watch but the main reason I got it from Verizon was the speaker and to see notifications on my watch when I drive. I found myself having to look at my phone about as much as I looked at my watch.
That's weird, the notifications on my watch actually alert me before my phone does. If not before then they both alert me at the same time with my Note 5.

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.
Hate to say but paired to my iphone I get all notifications without any problem,except that I lost bluetooth connection a few times.
I had some notification issues over the network. Make sure you setup notifications proper in both the Samsung Gear app and the app itself (ie email). To solve my notification issues over the network in remote connection mode I had to "reinstall" the Samsung gear app which also forced my watch to do a light reset. See my post over in Connection modes for more details.
To bump this up, I have the same problem. Slow notifications regularly, no notifications at all when the phone is charging. I have disabled the option to not show notifications when the phone is active and no change. It's the only grip I have with the watch
I get 98% of the notifications so no big deal for me,but the only app that I don't get notification on the watch is YouTube
Is there an option for this in Gear Manager like on Android Wear? I just got an S3 for Christmas and I need this functionality for my job. I don't want to open it if there isn't an option like this. Any input will help. Thanks!

There are several ways to keep the watch silent. It can be put in Do Not Disturb mode. You can control notifications passed through from the phone. You can set the various volume levels to 0 or vibrate only.
Download SoundProfile app and use location tasks to set phone to silent or vibrate when gear s3 is connected by Bluetooth and normal when disconnected. Works great for me.
This guy wants to silence the phone ringing noise, from his watch on an incoming call.

I want the phone to not make a sound at all like on Android wear. When my G watch R is connected to my phone, my phone automatically mutes. It's a setting built into Android wear.

Put the phone in Do not Disturb mode. Or leave the phone in your locker/desk.

If the phone is in do not disturb mode the watch won't get notifications.

Then silence the phone. Don't assign sounds to notifications. Set all the volume levels to zero. I've never seen a phone that couldn't be setup to not emit sounds.

Doing all that defeats the purpose of having the option. I dont think you understand. Doing all that means I have to undo all of that when I don't have my watch on. Android wear is just smarter than tizen I guess. The watch will just go back!
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
OK, another option is to create a Tasker script to automate the process. Lastly, the Frontier LTE can operate when remotely connected to a phone, notifications pass thru even if the phone is miles away, if you're not suppose to have a phone, leave it behind and just wear the watch.
But if you don't see the usefulness of the S3, then by all means return it and spend the money on something you want.

Of course it will, at least with a Samsung phone. My S7 Edge is set for DND right now and I'm still getting email and text notifications, phone calls, and notifications from other apps. The phone doesn't make a sound.
Watch is gone now so I'll never know. Thanks for all the answers and advice. Mods you can delete the thread.

Old thread, but FWIW, Tasker is a really easy way to take care of this, as noted.
I do believe it SHOULD be part of the Gear S3/S2 capability to do this natively (choose which device to have audible notifications on when they are connected) but w/Tasker you can set up a couple of profiles/tasks in just a few minutes and have the same result. I've got Tasker Profiles for when my phone is connected to my cars/watch at the same time (max phone volume) and for when my phone is only connected to my watch (set phone to vibrate).
What I don't have is a way to set my Gear S3 to silent when the phone is set to max volume when in one of our cars...I can't control the watch volume settings from Tasker AFAIK. But that's only when I'm in my car so I can live w/that.
This option should be native to S3 since they have both LTE and non-LTE most Smartwatches are capable of doing this such as the Apple Watch and Android Wear its just Samsung's Tizen refused to implement it. Im pretty disappointed with this watch.

Is there any way you could share what you did in Tasker? I am looking for this feature, but not sure how to write it up.

I switched from Android Wear to Gear S3 as well and found no option for that even using tasker (just cannot find a sound profile in tasker that works for Samsung for total silence, only got "vibrate").
Finally, simply choose the silence stock profile in the drop-down Notification panel. Sure you need to resume it (can be done by tasker for this) but that's the life for Gear S3. Nothing to do with Tizen but developers from Samsung.

I understand what your wanting to do. i own a Huawei watch and in android wear there is a setting to silence calls, Notifications on the phone itself once set for either or both. and when you place the watch on your wrist the phone automatically stays silent and your watch vibrates or rings .. (what ever you have it set to do) i have mine set to vibrate. so no matter where i am or in a meeting i never have to worry about the phone sounding off. its a very nice smart feature. i have LTE S3 Classic due in today... I hope it can be done with that as well.

Its a shame its not a built in option. I agree with OP. I have no time or desire to learn how to use Tasker. I've tried before and just didn't get it.
Your last comment is unnecessary and not very helpful. We don't use devices in the same way so users look for solutions, especially where they exist elsewhere.
Reviving this post again. I just bought a Gear S3. I come from Apple's world: iPhone6s and Apple Watch 1. I switched to Samsung S7 Edge because I do think it is a better phone than the iPhone 6s, and I bought a Gear S3 because I really used my Apple Watch and, added to this, I prefer the Gear S3's design.
Anyway, I am VERY used to the fact that when I worn my Apple Watch, the iPhone got silenced (and not only silenced, actually the notifications only arrived to my watch if I remember well), and when I took off my Apple Watch, the iPhone was active again. That is a BASIC for a smartwatch in my opinion.
Well, I have read this thread, and many others, and I did the Tasker trick, but, correct me if I am wrong: it does not get even closer to the desired behaviour. I mean by this, the phone is muted if the watch is DISCONNECTED from the phone (BT wise) which is not what I want. I want the phone to be muted when the watch IS NOT WORN, but it is still connected (when you take off the Gear S3, it does not disconnect from the phone).
Did I miss something? Is it possible to do it with Tasker?
I cannot conceive that the guys from Samsung would not implement such a basic feature, I mean, come on: just detect the "worn" status (which they already do anyway for other purposes) and offer the option to mute the phone.....come on, you can do it guys
I think you all missed post #3.

I am using the soundprofile app and it works perfect! As soon as my watch connects to the phone via Bluetooth, the phone silences and for example, when I turn off the watch, the phone goes back to normal sound profile.
You can also use different sound profiles related to where you are (based on geo fencing). I am a fan of this app, works super!
Yes, it is absurd that we have to use a 3rd party app for this, but hey, at least it works.
Most of the days, my morning alarm doesn't go off. The alarms during the day are ok, but when I'm sleeping in bed doesn't work. Always with AOD off and do not disturb (programmed) on.
Anyone else experiencing? Any solution?

One time only - last week - my morning alarm (is set fro Mon-Fri at same time) just buzzed for half a second then stopped by itself. Never happened before or since, but a bit worrying that I'm already starting to see some bugs with my S3 - as my notifications about new emails now only work intermittently
My alarm also is no longer working reliably. I can test it and it works. I set my Gear S3 into do not disturb mode before going to bed and then the alarm never goes off at the set time in the morning. I have tried both auto scheduled do not disturb mode and manual do not disturb and alarm fails to work in both. For the first month I never had an issue.
Come on Samsung! This is the most basic feature. Smart Watch??
Same here. The only way I can get alarm to work is if it is running in the background the app that is that I open it to make sure it's running before I go to bed then it would work for me.
Same here gutted the vibrate only function is one of the main features I use. Got in trouble with the boss due to this watch lol. Hopefully it something fixable via firmware update.

Yes, should be fixed soon, the problem is that Samsung support is awfull! I have tried to report this and some other (proved) bugs and they always respond with: restart your device, reset to factory default, etc. And if it doesnt work, send it to technical repair! They should listen their customer and look/check bugs in forums like this also...

Hi all, I had the same issue. Updated the alarm app to 1.0.28, still the issue. Then I read a comment from someone that it could be a conflict with watchfaces that are not Samsung original (stock). And indeed I had installed a purchased watchface a few weeks back when the problem started. Tried switching back to a Samsung stock watchface before going to bed, and for the last 3-4 mornings, alarm has been working fine!
So I can't say for sure it's the issue, but in my case, the non-original Samsung watchface seems to conflict with the alarm function. Back to Sansung face for the night and the bug is fixed. I hope this can help others!
Happy Easter
So here's my list:
1. Cannot set a reminder off the watch ala Google Reminder.
2. Heart rate and distance measurement is not accurate.
3. Vibration is weak and easily missed.
Things I like:
1. Still the best looking watch out there.
2. I can make my own faces.
3. Links to my phone for messages.
Just sayin'.
You can change vibration strength in gear settings
You can download the app (on gear) for set reminders, from app or s voice.
Tried it. Can't set date and doesn't sync with phone. It really needs to sync with Google Reminders. Thats a finished product.
You ask too much

I agree with you. There are't any way to set a reminder in the phone from the whatch.
The gear alarm app only set alarm in gear and also you can't set a date or any message!!!
The reminder app can set a date and a message, but only will rise a notification in the gear that is easy to be unattended, this is not an alarm.
Do you know, guys, any app to set an alarm with a message in the gear? And to set an alarm to the phone? Or set an alarm at the phone that alert you in the whatch? I have been looking for it without any result.
And yes, the vibration is week to attend an alarm, even when you set it to 'strong' and 'large'.

An app called My Tasks isn't perfect, probably but comes the closest. Once installed on both devices, tasks can be created on either, and will sync across them, and be displayed on both. Notification sounds can also be assigned.

If there was an AndroidWear watch as good looking and sized as the S2 I would think of a switch. But there isn't.

I liked how my android wear watch interacted with google's "clock" app (esp alarms) on my phone. That's probably what I miss most after switching to the S2. The S2 is oblivious to events from that app. The best alternative I've found is Samsung's "clock" app (easy on a Samsung phone, otherwise ??). It's not as versatile as Google's but you can have multiple, labeled alarms that appear and can be dismissed/snoozed with the watch. For me it's good enough.

Seem not works after last Gear Update Now I can't dismiss the Samsung Phone alarm from the watch, worked before but stopped now.
Can I change any of the hardware button combinations other than double-tap Home?
And how do I get rid of Samsung Pay? It doesn't even work here.
Hi all can anyone help?? Iv a samsung s 2 watch and a samsung s7 phone I'm finding vibrations cery soft bearly hear them plus I don't seem to be getting notihications iv tried factory reset still nothing I ticked apps wanted to get notifications but still nothing!! When I go to homepage on watch shows "say two messages but I have not heard them come through only I went through watch I would have missed them!! Anyone got any ideas?
Honestly! Samsung needs to pay better attention to what customers say! I'm at the point in my contract of changing phones and that means watches! If they want to keep customers they better damn well get their act to tether on both customer service and support! Focus on what CUSTOMERS (those annoying people who pay your salary) want! There ARE other choices! !
