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?

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.
Hello everyone can you help me watch do not show me rest as i lie on the couch just shows how i would be active all the time on green lines No sleep notifications, steps i guess That from the whole health app I am constantly connected by bluetooth s6 edge
I don't recall exactly how it worked. But I thought I checked something on the watch which then directed me to my phone (non-samsung phone) where I could set up Notices going to the watch. In Android phone, Main Settings and then check Notifications and/or Apps and search the lists for Samsung or Gear type apps.
Sorry I can't remember more...
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.
I can't believe it, but after the new update I still cannot get a full day on the battery. is this normal with always on?
Not normal. turn auto heart rate off, turn s-voice off, use a dark background to conserve battery while always on, turn on inactive notifications, etc.....
Thanks I turned off some things I turned off everything except Bluetooth but now it doesn't seem to be changing the time or updating the weather for the location I just landed in. Is there something that has to be on besides Bluetooth? Or can I have every single thing off . thank you

Apps have intervals. For example, the heart rate sensor by default is set to 10 min. Imagine the impact that has on the battery. Same with weather. You can set your weather to check every hour but you must turn on your phones GPS. The watch doesn't know where you are if your phone's GPS is off. You pick and choose what notifications you need with intervals while others can be manually updated.
For the most part, I have everything off on my watch except for bluetooth. I manually update weather, heart rate, i dont use voice search on my watch (Google assistant on my phone; ok google), my gear is LTE and I turn that off to save battery, etc... mostly, I use my watch for notifications and answer phone calls when I drive. If your watch isn't changing time while bluetooth is on, you might want to try another watch face because that isn't normal.

I suggest also powering down when you notice rapid battery loss. Some times for no reason after charging overnight, my battery just starts draining fast. Powering down and then up fixes the problem. Also, double check no app is running more than you'd expect. When Samsung updated the Mail app recently on my Note 4, I noticed the my Gear S3 showed super high Mail app usage. I forced stop the Mail app, and then all went back to normal.
Hello. I'm sure this has been asked bunch of times, but whenever I google it, I get opposite results.
So.. I want my phone not to save battery. Like.. I want my notifications to come through instantly. Now only few apps are capable of doing that (calls, messages, alarm clock). But all other apps - like gmail, skype or FB Messenger are not. I only receive notifications when I wake up my device (or when someone starts spamming me messages, after like 5th message they come through, so I guess phone is receiving those messages, just not putting them through). Whenever I google solutions for this, I only get tips on how to make it worse (because for some reason everyone just want to save their batteries) or nothing that actually worked.
What I have done so far:
Battery optimization - off for every single application (even system).
Background activity manager - looks off (there is no toggle, only the 'blacklist', which is off).
Background activity cleaner - off.
Every app has 'Urgent' notification importance.
Phone is not rooted (nor it can be.. stupid Nokia policy). Android 8.1. Nokia 5.
Battery power saver - off (obviously).
Looks like I have data saving modes turned off (I might have missed some, but I only do not get notifications while device is sleeping).
Factory reset (multiple times (for various reasons)). I never received real-time notifications on this phone while it's sleeping.
I contacted Nokia support team, but they took 30 minutes to tell me to reboot the phone, so decided not to wait another half an hour to tell me to clear apps' cache.
I saw that with ADB I could turn off doze, but as I understood, it's temporary as restarting the phone brings this 'feature' back, but I have to restart this phone every day or two due to not a huge amount of RAM (2GB) as it fills up with trash and restarting the phone brings me the best performance, so it's really not a great option. Edit: also, it didn't help
I guess it's a manufacturer specific problem then? ;s
