Hello, I have received my free smartwatch few days ago, it seems to be working fine, but there is a issue.
I don't get any alert when my phone is disconnected from watch (there is a slight vibration, but no notification or message)
My question is how do I get my watch to vibrate and display message that my phone is lost?
this seems like a pretty much great thing to have, is there a way to get it?
Thanks a lot

Mine vibrates twice when I am out of range from phone or when I turn the bluetooth on my phone off.

Well yeah, I get that too...
But the problem is it should at least vibrate 5 times and display a message.. This way I am not sure if it is just Facebook spam or my phon ebeing lost..
So there is no way to turn on this additional alert?

I don't think that it has an option for this.
Install watchit or augmented smartwatch and you will get the alert.

Anyone know how to disable the charge complete sound from this phone?
I plugged the phone in to charge and went to bed. 3 hours later the phone started beeping non-stop until I physically came down and acknowledged the notification.
What an annoying thing to happen especially since I was SLEEPING! lol
(If this has been asked before, I apologize, I tried searching for this both here and the internet and all I could find was a hack for the WindowsMobile Omnia phone).
Thanks.

put your phone on silent when you go to bed!
surely you do not sleep with your phone ringer on do you?
the alarm clock works fine when the phone is on silent.

It would be nice to be able to disable the charging complete notification, and leave all other ringers and notifications turned on. I have to leave my ringers on 24/7 for emergency work calls.

hmm
you could try reduce the notification volume down to zero at bed time, Im not sure the battery charge is regarded as notification, either that or "system" volume.
if you want that automated, get tasker, a VERY good app to automates tuff, like change your volume levels for different things at different times of day or based on location etc etc, amazing app.

I have a solution, that works perfectly, and it also means your phone wont bug you EVERY single notification (otherwise you get woken up by spam in your gmail).
1) Upgrade your firmware.. The latest firmware still has the "charged thing", but its done a different way.
2) Set your global Notification tone to silent in settings, but leave volume loud.
2) Set a tone in Messaging (so you get SMS), and any other applications you want to be notified with..
Boom, no annoying bleeping sound, and spam wont wake you.. If you have vibrate turned on though, your phone will still vibrate in your pocket when you get an email

Which firmware do you have because I've tried that but it's still not working?...
Edit --> Better yet where do you change the "global Notification tone"?
I can change the SMS tone, but I don't see the global Notification tone where I can change that to silent but still get SMS sounds?...
I use an automatic profile switcher its free from market and it sets my phone to silent at 21:00 and back to normal at 07:30 simples
Do wish 2.1 had this. I hate the fact that every notification uses the same tone from downloads complete to new emails and new text messages. It's kinda like moving backwards that you can't even set custom sms tones.

In that last video the guy made it seem like the Gear would alert you if you forgot your phone. Is this actually in? I can't seem to find a setting for it either on the Gear or in Gear manager and mine definitely doesn't alert me that I left the phone behind, unless it's just the vibration saying you lost Bluetooth connectivity. In the video it didn't appear to be that tho, because he wasn't very far from the phone when he got the alert.
it does let you know bc it disconnect from Bluetooth then it vibrates on your wrist

In the video he doesn't look very far from the phone before he "got the alert" when I'm outside I can go 50-60 feet easily before Bluetooth disconnects. I was hoping I had missed a more intelligent alert with regards to leaving the phone behind, but I guess it's not there.
I'm no longer getting vibrations on my wrist with my Gear Live. I haven't touched anything, but they just stopped. The motor does work however, I've tested it using the Phone Finder app. I've tried resetting the device, restarting the device, and making sure that it's not on mute. I can't seem to find settings for this anywhere; could someone help me out?
Edit: I love how as soon as I post this, vibration starts working again..
Could it be that certain apps aren't getting the thing to vibrate, but others are? Anyone else getting vibration notifications with Textra?
I swear vibration didn't work every time. It's so faint though that even when it does, I don't notice it

Do you get Textra to work without. Contact + ?
Watch not vibrating for text messages
I noticed my Gear Live wasn't vibrating for text messages. It seemed random whether or not it vibrated for text messages. It vibrated normally for all other notifications. I have now discovered (and I believe and hope it's a software issue) that my watch will vibrate every time for incoming texts if and only if my phone is set to silent or ring mode. If the phone is set to vibrate, my watch will not vibrate for incoming texts. My Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 on the Verizon network running Android 4.4.2. I have tried rebooting, powering down andback on, and even a factory reset all resulting in no change of behavior. Is this similar to what you were experiencing? Anyone else experiencing this?
Text message vibration not working
I also noticed I'm not getting a vibration for text messages. Not sure why, I've had the watch for a week now and this just started a day or so ago. I've also restarted and reset to factory settings with no luck. If anyone knows of the issue, please post. Thanks!

Not sure if it's a permanent fix or not, but I actually shut my phone down completely (Samsung GS4) and turned it back on. I did a couple test text messages and the watch is picking up the messages and vibrating again. Again, this could just be a band-aid but it did seem to work.
hey,
i recently bought my grand father a note 5 and there is 5-6 times a day a sound, like his notification but when he open the screen he sees nothing new...

Turn off notification reminder? Maybe it's reminding you of a hidden notification. Maybe it's Gmail.
i've already turn it off - still beeping
I have this but every sunday! Its not a calendar entry...!

hi ,
well in my case ("many " months back ) can't remember facts clearly ,
i also had similar issues with a notification sound and no visible notifications .
But i can remember , that i eventually pinpointed sound , too the Smart Manager app .
Every time it optimizes some apps , it gave me this sound ,but no visible notifications in statusbar .
Sorted it out ..no such issues ever .!
Not saying this is your issue ,but it was mine .!
good luck .
Hi
Im using a gw5 pro lte connected to a s21+ over bt. Whenever i receive a call on the phone the watch starts ringing right away but the screen with the caller id appears after a minimum 5 sec to sometimes 10 sec. Even if i wake up the screen, the caller still appears after that time.All other notifications appear instantly. I could easily pick up my phone from the pocket and see who's calling rather than see it on my watch. I previously owned a s3 frontier, a gw 1, a gw 3 and none of them had this delay. Is this normal behaviour? If it is than it sucks... Any help is appreciated! I attached a video in wich the delay is about 5 sec...
strange, this doesn't happen to me. What software?
