Hello all,
I just bought a Gear S3 Frontier which i am using with an LG G7.
My problem is that if the phone is not set to vibrate when receiving Facebook Messenger messages than the watch will not vibrate. if i put the phone on vibrate, the watch will also vibrate. this is the same also for normal sms.
Can i change this somehow? I would like my phone NOT to vibrate (basically just show on the screen that i got a message in FB messenger) and my watch to vibrate.
thanks
I had the same problem with the S3 connected to a Samsung phone (either Note 8 or Note 10, similar behaviour). The watch only vibrates when the message on the phone also triggers vibration. I wanted exactly the same behaviour you describe. I enabled the vibration on the phone for messages, but a Samsung phone also allows the vibration intensity to be set per type (i.e. calls, messages, etc.), so though vibration is enabled for messages, I set its intensity to 0. Now the phone does not vibrate on messages, but my Gear S3 does.
I don't know if the LG allows changing these settings similarly though...

When I was CM11 while I was on phone, when apps get notifications, phone vibrated. Now with marshmallow on Nexus 5 doesn't vibrate. This function is useful to me while I'm on call, because it allows me to see if I'm getting another call when busy as I receive sms alert. How can I do to reactivate this?

I did a search on this topic, but could not find an answer.
So I have the Gear S3 Frontier through Tmobile and I'm trying to put my phone (Tmobile Note 4) into silent mode with no sound or vibration, but when I do, the Gear S3 stops alerting me of notifications.
Does anyone have any idea how to mute the phone, but still get notifications on the watch?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Were you able to find a solution? I'm getting frustrated that my phone still makes noise and vibrates when my watch is connected. Makes me want to go back to Android Wear.
I have a galaxy S6, putting it (the phone not the watch) into do not disturb mode works for me.
I put my phone on DND mode as well and I still get notification alerts (vibration + sound) on my s3.
I use the stock email app on my S7 and don't want to have a sound when an email is received. But removing the notification sound in the email app on the phone also makes the clock stop vibrating when I receive an email. Why is that? I have notifications in the email app turned on.
I want the phone to be silent when I receive an email but the clock to vibrate? Can that be done?

I'm facing the very same issue.
Before Gear S3 i was using Gear 2 and regardles of phone settings for particular app, notifications on watch (sound and vibrations) were working independently.
Now Gear S3 settings seems to be overriden by phone settings - in other words if notification on phone is vibrating then watch is vibrating, if i change application on phone to stop vibrating then regardles of watch settings, also watch stops vibrating.
The only way to have silent phone and watch vibrating is to set application to have vibration on and make whole phone silent.
That sucks - is there any way to change that behaviour ??
A few days ago I updated my Samsung S8 + to Android 9. Before that the silenced WhatsApp groups did not vibrate on the clock and the individual chats (not silenced) yes.
Since the update, all the chats, silenced or not, makes the watch vibrates.
I don't know if the problem comes frome the phone or the watch.
Thank you.
My Galaxy Watch 4 doesn't vibrate or "ding" when I receive an SMS or MMS message. I have it turned on in the wearable app and all other notifications work as expected. I have reached out to Samsung and they took my Watch for repair but ended up sending me a new one. Still the same issue. The orange dot comes on, but no actual alert.
