I set an alarm on Saturday (7th) for 8:30am, but now the alarm keeps repeating everyday, even if the alarms at set for a different time, or even when no alarms are turned on.
I checked notifications using the ScaryBear app, there was only 12 things in the list, and no duplicates.
Anyone know how to stop this? It keeps waking me up everyday

I managed to slove this issue (on my xda at least!) See my previous post...

It seemed to have fixed itself, but I found another problem. If I set an alarm, and then disable it, it still goes off :s
Anyone else seeing delayed by some minutes or non existent notifications on the S3?
This is true for text and email notifications
I can not see any settings for controlling the sync rate or anything else that might impact this.
The phone is a note 4
Yeah. There are times that emails never arrive on the watch.
There is a setting that if you are on the phone, you will not get notifications on the watch. You can set this to receive notifications when on the phone.
Notifications will not show if you have "Do not disturb" enabled or if you are using the phone at the time the notification arrives (though this can be disabled)
Also if you are not wearing the watch, you won't get notifications.
I have noticed very odd behavior with my watch as well. I have the LTE version of the Frontier, with NumberSync enabled, but my watch is mostly connected via Bluetooth which I have found means it is disconnected from cellular. It seems that if the Bluetooth is disconnected and reconnected that I no longer receive any notifications, messages, phone calls, etc from my phone (nor NumberSync) until I reboot my watch. According to the Gear Manager on the phone everything is connected and it shows battery stats and such, but nothing gets sent to the watch until I reboot it.
Having same problem!
Since raising this a couple of weeks ago it seems to be a lot more consistent now, in fact I have only noticed one late notification in the last few days.
I have not changed any options on the phone or watch - go figure.

So DND on the phone will block the notifications on the watch, is that correct? Any way to disable that feature? I often put my phone in DND but would like to get notifications on the watch.

No, sorry, I meant if you had DND set on the watch.

Very strange but since I don't have a notification sound for my stock email app in my phone when I receive an email, the watch is not vibrating when I get an email. If I set a sound notifications I n in the phones mail app the clock vibrates. Feature or bug?
I have noticed that notifications are not recieved on my watch when it doesn't detect its on your wrist, same for always on display, it only works when it detects its on your wrist. It is very annoying as I constantly struggle to get my frontier to detect a heart rate and know it is on my wrist, so therefore the screen is always turning off and I never get notifications going to the watch.
Might be a fix
Been having the same issue for a couple of weeks since purchasing my s3 frontier. While looking through the notifications setting in gear app on phone. I noticed the notifications are only sent when watch is being worn. I was wearing the watch so disabled this feature. Texts began coming in just as fast as on apple watch. Apparently, the gear s3 is not very good at telling if it's being worn. Might be related to inconsistent fitness tracking.
Hey all! I just got the S3 Frontier a few days ago and I love it! Just one complaint:
The other night I had my watch on while I was sleeping. As always, I put my phone on complete silence. However, while I was sleeping, I was woken up a few times by my watch vibrating.
It's kinda silly that I would have to silence the watch, too (in my opinion). Is there any way to "link" the two? I also want my watch to vibrate even when completely off by means of my cell phone's alarm time, even if I have the watch and phone on silent. Is there a way to "link" the two? My phone is a rooted Google Pixel if it matters.
Thanks in advance!

I kind of agree it would be nice if I'm in some setting (doc's office, etc) where I want to silence my phone I have to remember to also put the watch into do-not-disturb.
This is what's missing, and really needed. But there's no way to do it.

Wow, that's crazy! What an oversight! Thanks for the reply though!
Hate revive an old thread, but this does my head in.
I've got a gear s3 classic, I think it makes absolutely no sense for it to no sync the notification volume etc..
Has anyone found a workaround?

I agree. With Android Wear when You put watch into "do not disturb" phone also switches the same.
I've also noticed that there is no any watchface that shows battery level from phone and watch at the same time..
I like Tizen, but in some cases Android Wear was better. The second is more integrated with phone.
You can set the time for auto do not disturb on the watch. I have mine set from 10:30 until 6:30. The watch doesn't vibrate or notfy me.
Located on watch under Do Not Disturb: set schedule.
You can set different times for different days of the week.
Other way around, just use Tasker to add task like: if phone in silent state, disable bluetooth (to stop connection with gear s3) and exit task is reverse to turn on bluetooth in which reconnect gear s3 automatically
I to wish they would just add a feature to the Gear app for, "Silent Mode Syncing"!
I would think that it would be easy to add such a simple feature compared to all the Samsung Health stuff that they can sync between the Gear and the connected smartphone. But sheesh, guess it's never easy...

Now does this after update to 4.0?
I think in the latest update for the gear (4.0) it now does this by default! Last night after the update I put my phone on silent. The next morning I had a few missed calls that usually woke me up due to the watch vibration.
Can anyone confirm?
I couldn't find a detailed list of new features for the latest update to check.

How are you putting your phone on silent, Do Not Disturb or using the volume? I have Do Not Disturb set to automatically enable on my phone every night but I still get notifications on my watch. I haven't tried it by pressing the volume key and cycling through Ring, Vibrate and Silent though.
I recently bought the Gear S3 Frontier, and I keep getting annoying notifications about "Sleep Record", including some late at night just as I am dozing off.
I am attaching a screen shot of the notification (this one happened to come in this morning while sitting at my desk). I thought that I had disabled all of the sleep tracking functions, but apparently I have NOT done so.
How can I get rid of these notifications??
EDIT: If it matters, I am using the Gear S3 with a Pixel XL (not a Samsung phone).
Disable it in the watch Samsung Health settings, sleep report notification.

That doesn't work. Even though in Samsung Health settings ALL notifications are blocked, still get a "Sleep Record" notification on the watch every morning.

You did this in the Samsung Health application from the phone (not in the Galaxy Wearable application), under Settings - Notifications, where there are entries for Current Exercise status, Health Insights, etc?
Optionally, you may be able to go to the Galaxy Wearable application, settings, notifications, manage notifications, and turn off/block notifications from the Samsung Health app, if you don't want ANY notifications from the Health app.

Yes, that is entirely correct. I've tried two disable methods from within that section, both disabling "Sleep log reminders" which did not work, and then disabling EVERYTHING in that list of notification by using the global "OFF" at the top ("Notifications for this app are blocked.) Neither of those stopped the "Sleep Record" notification each morning.

Yesterday, in the Galaxy Wearable app, I went into Manage notification and did finally disable Samsung Health (the entire app is now disabled)..... so far, no Sleep Record notification this morning, we'll see.... it's early yet! This is obviously the least desired way to disable a single function (aside from using a hammer), ESPECIALLY when, in the Samsung Health app, section "Manage items", there is a switch to turn off "Sleep"... that seems to be the appropriate way to disable "Sleep Record" (which is the first thing I tried, and did not work... sigh)
Thanks for your suggestion, though. I may just not use any of the health stuff..... Although the main selling point of these watches is THE HEALTH STUFF! LOL ...... It makes me wonder if the $300 Samsung response to the $30 FitBit is still not as polished as the $30 FitBit!

Yeah - the disabling of the Samsung Health notification in the Galaxy Wearable app is basically the nuclear option - so not ideal.
I have upgraded my phone to a Galaxy Note 9 (from the Pixel XL) since I originally posted my question, and when I went into the settings to double check my response, I realized that I had not given approval to some of the permissions of the Samsung Health app. I forgot to put my watch on today, so I will have to check and see if I have issues with the sleep record notifications. I never wear it to bed, so it is pointless to use that feature. If I have any issues with it I will update here.
My watch suddenly stopped notifying me of reminders I add through my phone, or directly from the watch app. Also, the reminders I add to my phone aren't syncing to the watch, which it always had in the past. This isn't related to an update of any kind, it just stopped working out of nowhere. All of the notifications are set, and I've turned off battery optimization. I've also factory reset the watch, and still nothing. Any ideas?
