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.

Has anyone else has this problem-
Phone is in your pocket. It rings but you don't answer as it's on silent etc
You miss the call or the other person puts the phone down.
The s6 automatically goes to this messaging screen and counts down before sending a message to the person who called you without you even realising.
It only seems to happen when the phone is in my pocket. I have removed all of the auto reject messages and cannot see any other option in the settings of the phone, dialler or messaging that may do this. The three dot hover does not show anything when pressed.
Any help is very welcome as I think my friends and family are getting annoyed by these messages that I am in a meeting.
Many thanks
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 ??
So I have a Verizon Galaxy 8+ and when I put my phone in vibrate all notifications on my Gear vibrate and play a notification sound. But Messaging only vibrates, unless I take my phone off of vibrate.... it is getting annoying... When i had my S7 Edge i did not have this issue. It bothers me because I like to have my phone on vibrate and when I get a message my watch will Beep at me but now its not working? Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
I Tried resetting the watch, trying a 3rd party messaging app (Textra) and its a no go for some reason.....
This is been a problem since the recent update of the S3 to the current firmware. I've talked to Samsung about it and they confirmed that it's an issue. They gave no promises they're gonna fix it. By the way the same thing happens on my phone as well which is an S7 edge.
What I see, is a if I use the stock messaging app on the S7 edge I can get audible text notifications on the watch, but then I can't do group replies from the watch.
Using Textra on my phone, or other text apps, I can do group replies on the watch, but get no audible text notifications on the watch.
It worked fine before the most recent firmware update on the watch, so clearly they've broken something, and just haven't released a fixed yet.

Gotcha, Yeah i tried going to the the stock messaging app and still get nothing unless I am not on vibrate. Thanks for the info!
I have the Gear S3 Frontier with LTE and its on Phone number. I have it paired with the Note 8. I'm wanting to know if there's a way to separate the text messages recieved on the phone from the ones received (exclusively) on the watch.
So, I get notifications on the watch when I receive a text on my phone. I also get a notification when I receive a text to my watch number. But if I happen to dismiss the notification on the text to the watch number, it seems to be gone forever and It doesn't show up in the text messaging app for me to read later or respond to. I would like to be able to recieve those text messages that come to my watch number in a separate app so I can actually see them even if I dismiss the notification. Hope this makes sense.
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...
