Hi
My watch (Garmin Decent) stopped showing smart notifications from my phone (OP 8T) eventhough it is still connected and transferring data (puls, steps ect.)
I have allowed battery usage (no optimization) but it keeps turning off after around 2-3 hours, after reinstallation of the connect app.
It is as the function might being terminated by the phone, and not allowed to run in background.
i have tried almost everything: resetting watch and phone, reinstalled app, tried a 7T phone with same result, allowed everything on the phone (i think)
any suggestions???
Check Garmin forums.

I have a non-rooted, stock G2 (on T-Mobile) running Android 2.2.
Every day, as many as twenty or thirty times per day, the phone gets stuck in "upload" mode. The data icon shows that data is uploading (or trying to) and I am unable to use any data-related services (whether tethered or on the phone itself). When it happens it can last anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. The only way I can forcibly stop it is to completely shut down the radio by toggling airplane mode off then on, forcing the phone to reacquire a data signal.
I've tried resetting the phone to factory defaults, deleting every app, reinserting the SIM card, and even formatting the SD card. Stopping running processes doesn't affect the issue, nor does implementing a task killer to kill extant apps. I also don't have any reliable way of tracking how much data *might* be getting sent (where ever it might be going). I've toggled off background data, syncing, GPS, network location, etc. Anything user settable that could potentially impact data has been switched off, to no avail. But, even with those settings on, I've never (in the past) had them completely usurp my data usage by locking the mobile data into an upload state.
My three main concerns are that 1) I can't reliably download apps, check mail, send pics/videos, or other data-related processes. 2) I'm concerned that if something IS uploading, it may be uploading a LOT and adding to my 5GB per month throttle-cap on T-Mobile. 3) I don't know WHAT is being sent, or WHERE. For all I know it could be sending my private data and contact info to an unknown third party.
I've ended every endable process and killed or uninstalled every app possible. I can't seem to remove bloatware without rooting, which I'm not yet eager to do as this phone is less than 60 days old, and I'm otherwise very happy with it as is.
Any suggestions or recent information as to why this is occurring? I have seen a similar thread for a different phone (Incredible), but it was from over a year ago and there were no solutions (other than flashing a new ROM). I'd like to stay stock, at least for a while, but if there is no other option and the Gingerbread OTA doesn't resolve this issue, then I may very well go to CyanogenMod (which I was happily running on my previous phone, the G1).

Hello
I just got my Lumia 900, I use Windows Mobile for years, I feel a bit uncomfortable on WP7, I have a few questions:
1. How to sign out Windows Live? I don't want to sign in all the time, it waste data and battery. I know I can just turn off data, but sometimes I want to leave data on for other program.
2. How to know the phone is using data? On WM you see small 3G appears with signal bar, on Android you see 3G appears with up/down arrow. On WP7, I did not see any changes on upper indication area when I am using data.
3. How to lock the orientation of phone dialer? When I hang up the phone, the phone tilt a little bit and cause the dialer window rotates; so, can I lock it?
I wish someone could give answers. Thanks!
Edit1:
Q1 is answerd
Q2: I observed the phone behaviour. It shows 4G when I turn on the data, and sometimes it shows LTE. I assume when it shows LTE, it is using data. Maybe I am wrong.
Q3: Orientation Lock can only be installed for unlocked Lumia 900. so it seems mission impossible by now.
Some new questions:
Q4: Multi tasking: When I download some big files from internet, while I am waiting, I start to open another app. It seems the download is paused. This is very annoying. I cannot wait for hours to use the phone until the download completes
Q5: How to exit IE quickly? If I browsed 50 pages, looks like I have to press "BACK" for 50 times to exit IE......
Q6: Real time battery percent indication on live tiles? Tried to search the market but no success.
Q7: Can the upper status bar(Battery status/signal bar, etc.) fix on the screen?
Q8: How to set IE home page??
You can sign out of Messenger by opening the Messaging hub, selecting Status (from the AppBar at the bottom), and choosing Sign Out. You can turn off syncing of your Windows Live email by opening the settings for the email account and disabling the automatic sync, which will cause the phone to not use any data or battery life for that purpose. I'm not sure what other aspects of Windows Live you want to sign out of, but considering that things like your Marketplace purchases (including apps, even free ones) are tied to your Xbox Live account, which is in turn tied to your Windows Live account, you'd lose a lot of functionality if you actually signed out.
There's no official way to tell when the phone uses data. Short of temporarily disabling cellular data (to guarantee that the phone is *not* doing so), you could try enabling Airplane Mode, which turns off pretty much all background data usage but permits apps and user-initiated actions (web browsing, app purchase, etc.) to use data.
There's a homebrew app called Orientation Lock that sort-of handles the third question (it just turns off the accelerometer entirely until you choose to turn it on again). I don't believe it was ever accepted to the Marketplace though, so you need a developer-unlock for your phone.

Thanks. One more question: On WM, if I connect the phone to the PC, my phone can get internet connection through PC by ActiveSync. It is very convenience, I don't have to turn on data/WIFI. Can we do on WP7? I tried but it won't work.
Connect your phone to your PC and start Zune music player. The phone should get internet connectivity, once Zune recognises your phone.
You need to reconnect 3-4 times it if it fails. It's annoying but it's working.
good!. Thanks, it works.
Hello dear forum,
something weird happened to my One S 2 days ago and I would need your help, since I am, not very smartphone-savvy. I will try to describe the problem as detailed as possible.
It is important to mention, that since a few months the phone's USB connection didn't work properly (I can charge the phone on the PC, but it won't be recognised as a device by the PC). Also the phone doesn't seem to have an SC card?? I never really noticed this, but now it puts an obstacle in my way cause there is no easy way to recover my gallery etc.
While I was manually updating my apps (at the time of the happening: WhatsApp and Skype), I suddenly got the popup message "Google Play store stopped working". I wiped recent apps and started the play store again. Suddenly, various apps (Google Drive, Gmail, Play Store, Clean Master, you name it..) all stopped working and I got a huge amount of these "stopped working"- popup messages, including "android.process.acore has stopped working".
It was impossible to get rid of the messages, because they kept appearing over and over again on the screen.
I tried to restart the phone, which didnt fix the problem. It seemed like my apps just kept crashing over and over. I rebooted again after a while and everything seemed fine. My data was also still there and wifi worked too.
But then the phone froze. I tried restarting it via the hardware button. Since then, the phone seems dead. It only starts when connected tot he charger, but always keeps freezing at the "HTC One S" startup screen.
Now I mentioned the USB connection was not working properly even before this happened. I still tried plugging the phone into the PC, and it seemed to be searching for drivers for a certain "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
I have no idea what this means and would like to ask you for suggestions on what to do (or if there is anything I could do at all). I don't have much hope, but the best case scenario for me at this moment would be to have my photos recovered.
Thank you VERY much for your suggestions, it will be hugely appreciated!

Hey guys and gals,
Two days ago I have changed ROM on my Note 4. Because of that, I needed to reset my Gear S2, because it was a new phone for it. At least I could restore my settings for smartwatch, so all apps began to download and after like an hour it finished.
But there is a problem - today I tried to download new apps form Store, but all the time I only see ' o,oo kB/ >total size< ' or 'connecting' if I open the app page. I have tried to restore default settings on the watch - even worse, because now I cannot download anything at all. Not a watchface nor app. Have You occurred problem like that before?
At first I thought it is a problem with WiFi (in the hotel there is a additional page to log in with some data). But I plugged the ethernet cable to the laptop and tether internet via WiFi, so no password nor additional data were needed for downloading (on both Note 4 and Gear S2) That didn't help. The connection to the internet was there thought.
Below You can see a movie with the problem (sorry for the poor quality, needed to record with my MacBook camera since the phone is the only thing that can record in good quality during my business trip abroad).

I am having the same problem, i have tried resets and reinstalling Gear Plugin without success.
Sending mine back into Samsung for repair
I haven't had any sleep data since July except for some incorrect nap readings for full night's sleep. The watch shows I have slept but the phone app doesn't show anything. I have the latest version and I don't want to do a factory reset. Any suggestions?
Same here. I tried with factory reset, reinstalling Health app, updating HMS, uninstalling HMS and installing Wear OS, uninstalling both, unlinking Google Fit, linking the watch to two other phones, erasing all cloud data associated to the account.
The watch itself shows sleep data. Recently it started syncing no data at all, except hearthbeats.
Sent it to Huawei support, they returned it as "cannot reproduce".
Same here. Huawei Health version 10.1.1610. Device Huawei Watch GT 2e version 1.0.3.20. Still having problem sync data at least once every week.
Most of the days they work, some day failed. Not so consistent and reliable communication between device & gsm.
