my gw5 pro doesnt get notifications when am not using it for few hours(not waking the screen....etc).
am also having another problem notification dont vibrate on the watch although its set to vibrate and i never changed settings!
Have you restarted the watch since making the changes?
I tried setting developer mode a couple times. Said it was active and never showed the option. Restarted watch and there it was.
Same thing happened after I set up Samsung Pay. Held the watch to pay and was getting an error on the card reader. Did a restart of the watch and it worked.

I noticed the notifications does not come thru after recharging the battery and i have to restart to fix the problem so you are right but its very frustrating to keep restarting a 500$ premium smart watch every time there is a glitch or error.
Oh, that is a problem.
My issues worked flawlessly after the initial restart.
Did you get the latest update for the watch and install it? Did that help?

Mine is very intermittent, sometimes I pick up my phone and feel it, other times.. no dice.
Even sending a pushbullet to myself, waiting a while and then picking it up does nothing, a shame since its actually a decent feature
I was having the same problem with my Note 5... Realized the problem was actually the LED control app. Both lightflow and light manager disabled smart alert.
Hi,
I just got this s7 for 3 days and i have this problem where the screen wont turn on but the phone still is active.
A hard boot will fix it but its only a temp fix because i had this problem 4 times now in 3 days.
I didn't root it nor did i install any weird apps outside the google play store, i disabled a couple of bloat ware apps like all microsoft apps and a few google apps like hangouts and gmail.
I did some research and found out that more people have this problem but all the fixes they got it to wipe the cache but the phone still has the problem after that so i would like to know if more people on xda have this problem and i would like to know what they did to their phone so i can see if we have anything in common to pin point the problem.
See if the setting for preventing the phone to turn on in your pocket is enabled. If so, try disabling it and see if that works. It may be a problem with the proximity sensor if it's a hardware issue.
Thanks for the reply and i have that setting indeed turned on! So ill switch if off right now and lets hope this will fix it!
Seems like turning off that feature didn't work
If you have an SD remove it or format it. I had this on kitkat because of too many files in internal memory
Think i found the problem because i think its fixed. While restoring my old settings like wifi etc from my ggole account caused this problem and now that i skipped this part in the setup the phone seems to be working now for 2 days perfectly but thanks for the reply and help.
Woot, I have fixed the problem!!!!! Its the App Power Saving Feature that causes this!!! I had some app set to "always" and when i used any of these app and then put the phone in standby then it would lock up every now and then. Now that i have turned off this setting the phone runs steady for a week!

Is your phone still working fine without blackscreens?
I've got the same issue (sometimes 4 times in an hour, sometimes it doesn't happen for 2 days..!!).
I've tried fixing by doing a factory reset and turning app power saving mode off.
Unfortunately this did not fix the problem. Yesterday I got an unresponsive blackscreen again :crying:
Any ideas what could fix the problem?

Yea, mine is working like it should now for 3 weeks.
have a crazy situation - a number of times in the day at odd times the whole screen flashes red and then blue while vibrating and playing the alarm.
I do not think it is a virus and cannot figure out with what app this is associated with. I cannot associate it with any app directly. There is no message just suddenly starts flashing until I tap on screen or after about twenty seconds turns off

Yours is a great idea but these settings are disabled on the phone. Thank you for the suggestion however
Im having this same problem. Did you ever fivure out the issue?
After hard reset
Did a hard reset worked for about a month and in the last two days started again I have tried to Google and see if others have the same issue and there is nothing on the www. Crazy and absolutely have no idea what is causing it
Moto 360??
I am having the same issue. I also have a Moto 360 watch. I think there might a connection when the watch isn't in range the phone starts this panic behavior of red and blue. I still haven't found a solution....
What Fw are you on ? And do you have exynos or SD variant ?
I have a G950F and a moto 360 too and no issues so far ?
Same thing
This just started happening to me too. My only change recently was: I install an android wear watch hauwei 2 last week. I enabled developer mode to try and trace the cause.

I am doing the same with the Debugger (now), good idea. But I must admit, I don't know how to use the option on the Android to necessarily trace to a specific app.
I do know when I turn Bluetooth off the issue seems to go away.
Has anyone tried changing the network the device is trying to connect to? Let's say you have a GSM network, try setting it to GSM only. Vice versa for CDMA.
Same issue w/ s7 and note 8
I recently began having the same issue with my Galaxy s7 a d now with my note 8. The only connection is I've had my watch(fossil Q founder) connected to both. If I get out of range or disconnect from the phone via airplane mode etc. is when the phone loses it's mind. I think it's a feature in the event you might have misplaced your phone the watch is helping it be found(if that makes sense). I haven't found a way to disable this.
I had this Blue to Red flashing screen on my Galaxy S7. I could only operate my phone on safe mode, the virus or whatever this was drew the battery down while I was offloading photos and syncing the phone to the Samsung cloud. Then I only had approx 2% battery when I went to do the hard reset and before I could make it happen the phone lost power and I believe this virus prevented it from charging back up, essentially my cell died in 2 days from whatever this was. luckily AT&T is providing me a replacement but what an awful virus and what's to say when I resync the phone with Samsung it doesn't happen again?
Ok now, really?! You guys don't wanna tell me that since 2017 you guys are tracing this totally insane Homecomming ring plus red and blue screen flashes. So basically you living with this insanity since it's inception, and nobody knows what it is? I'm about ready to throw my phone into the garbage.
Any OS that is pre-Pie can be infected with rootkits that require a firmware flash to eradicate. A factory reset won't work.
Otherwise it sounds like you are introducing an app that is doing this after the factory reset.
If it doesn't do it in Safe mode... it's an app you added.
Has anyone experienced your U11+ freezing up.
It has happened to me about 3 times.
It generally happens over night while it's charging. I get up one of those mornings and the green light is on, remove the charging cable and I can't wake up the phone. I can't even turn off the phone by pressing and holding the power button to kill the device. The only way is to put it into download mode by simultaneously holding down the vol down key and power key, and then when the menu comes up to select the reboot option to get the phone back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what could be causing this to happen?
The problem is that I use my phone as my alarm clock, and when it freezes up, my alarm doesn't work.
Any suggestions anyone?
No problem like that until now.
However, noticed sometimes that the my alarm, which is setup for vibration only, only vibrates once and then continues silently alarming until I turn it off.
Happens randomly but still strange. I've to try with another clock app.
That's really odd.
I'm going to turn off the always - on feature and see if I get anymore freezes. I had another one this afternoon.
I'll report back after some time and let you know if there has been no more freezes.
I'm just updating to the latest update 1.23.709.3 and see also how it performs.
I'm a bit concerned about this random freezing that I have experienced since I got this device.
If it persists I may ask for a new one.

I'm still on the October security patch so I'm expecting one for the December period soon I hope.
In regards to your freezes I've not encountered anything like that so far been working flawlessly so far if there is anything I can test let me know
I have the Taiwan version.
If you could try the always-on feature for a couple of days and nights and report back, that would be awesome. However, I selected the option, for always-on to only come on when I moved the phone. (good for night time use especially)
I had my phone in the pocket yesterday afternoon and it froze.
As I stated earlier, I can only restart the phone only by putting it into download mode and reboot from there.

Thanks for letting me know.
I guess I can rule that feature out as a probable cause.
It must be some other app that's causing this issue. But it's a pain to go through the process of finding out which one.

Yeah trial and error isn't fun. I'd probably factory reset though and see if it happens with barely any third party apps installed.

I have the HK model I think and I had the AOD when I first got it, set to motion and nothing has happened to my phone in regards to freezing fingers crossed. I have disabled it for the moment as I noticed a greater battery usage overall, I believe between 9-10% overnight and only 2% when I had it disabled.
Hopefully you find the problem otherwise see if you can get it replaced...
Since not using the always-on feature, I don't have any more freezes. Must be some conflict with the alarms and always-on. Can't see what else could be causing those freeze ups.
My phone surprisingly just froze up yesterday. But at least it's been a long while since not having the always-on feature enabled. With always-on enabled, it seems to have happened every day.
The issue I have most about this, is missing that important call when I haven't realised that the phone is frozen, because sometimes I don't pick up the phone for hours.
I had to do a complete fresh install from scratch and I have no more issues. I believe all my issues came from using HTC's transfer tool when going from u11 to u11+. Importing all the settings features using the Transfer Tool has caused issues. I'll never use this tool again.
All good now.
Had my HW2S exactly two weeks and last night I noticed the screen was on the Fit HR screen (that I never use because the Huawei HR app is much prettier!) and when I tried to unlock the watch it reverted to the watch face but wouldn't respond to touch and the 4 complications on my chosen face were flashing on and off.
I soft reset the device which solved the problem for a while but it returned after an hour. In the end I had to press and hold power to call up Google Assistant and open settings to perform a factory reset - which is crap...
Read earlier that this has happened in waves to various Wear OS device owners but that was around a year ago - just wondering if anyone else experienced this behaviour recently as the last time it happened, a software update dropped not long after... #justsayin
It is caused by a weather complication remove it and it will be ok. You can later try putting it back and maybe it will work again had same problem.

Thanks for the reply dude, I'll give it a try. I was using the below watch face with the weather complication active (now swapped out for Strava) so it fits in with what you say.
Before I swapped it out my watch face changed automatically overnight too...
I love technology ?
