Hi all, just got myself a LG GWatch R, and loving it so far...
Just a couple of questions...
1: The screen keeps lighting up when i move my arm?, this is causing extra battery drain and i dont want this to happen, ive already set the screen to always on in ambient mode so wht does it keep turning on to full?
2: It keeps saying google now is not available even though its connected? Annoying.
3: The same cards keep appearing even though i have swiped them away. Why?

1) You can no do that. Just mute notification by swipe down watch status bar, it mute notification and disable the lightin up movement.
2) It need BT connected watch/phone AND valid internet connection on phone.
3) card appear when phone send notification. If card appearing after swipe, it is your phone wich notify again.
1: STUPID, I dont want to turn my buzzer of to stop the screen lighting up.
2: All is connected but the watch does it constantly.
3: Cards dont appear on phone just constantly on the watch?

which particular card is annoying you? i do find the light up mechanism is annoying as if i turn my wrist to do something and the screen just light up.
i wish google or LG is able to come up a new features to stop the auto light up function by movement. on pebble, you can disable such function...why google cannot..
Well I tried emailing them about it. But after sitting there for half an hour entering crap just to send an email I gave up.
I'm on holiday this week. And I keep getting a card saying holiday all day. But this keeps popping up about 20 times a day. Doesn't appear on the phone just the watch.
According to the screenshots in this article covering the upcoming Android Wear 5.0 Lollipop, we will be able to disable the wake gesture!
have a close look at the screenshots of the AW phone app, there is an option "Tilt to wake screen"
the holiday is mark in your google calendar? if you didnt connect the phone with watch..did it happen?
No its coming from the phone. But I don't understand why it appears all the time instead of once
I would also like it too not light up every time I move! I have turned off all gestures and tilt to wake but it still lights up. Just want to tell the time not let everyone know im wearing a smartwatch.
- Sometimes the watch does not show any notifications anymore. Restarting the Watch "fixes" this behaviour
- Theather Mode is great. However it does not even vibrate anymore. At least there should be an option to keep the watch vibrating.
- After directly archiving a Gmail Notifcation it vibrates again. Why? Didnt do it on kitkat and i see no reason for it despite using more battery juicy.

1 confirmed, noticed the same. Only reboot of watch helps. Occurred 2 times.
2 agree.
3 don't get many Gmail notifications, so cannot say anything about it.
My watch vibrates without reason when it is on the charger. Tried resetting my clock, put in silent mode, theater mode and even flight mode and it still vibrates. It doesn't vibrate Al the time, once every 5-10 minutes and some times more. It works fine out of the charger, no issues at all.
Didn't have this problem before update to 5.0.1

This is by design and indicates when the watch connects/disconnects to/from the phone. When it connects to the phone, it vibrates once; when it disconnects, it vibrates twice.
If you reboot your phone, the watch will vibrate twice when the phone's Bluetooth turns off and once when it turns back on. Or when you leave the watch on the cradle and walk away from it with your phone far enough to lose the Bluetooth connection, it will vibrate twice to let you know it disconnected from the phone. When you get back within range, it will vibrate once to let you know it reconnected to the phone.

Not always. See the link I posted above. My watch would vibrate at random while charging and the phone was on the cradle charging (and turned on) it would appear that the watch was possibly not getting a high enough current at times due to the phone charging.

I have also this issue (on R and G watch). It is when contact is not well between watch and dock. Seem OK but I must press watch to ensure right contact without vibrate signal for charge ON/OFF. Look at your charge icon on watch when vibrate to see if it is good
Thanks all for your info. I have my phone off during night maybe this is a new feature that reminds you about lost connection to the phone ? Tried all other suggestions with no luck

Had the same last night, noticed that my watch was waking up (just like me ) several times. Secured it better in the dock and all well again.
Removed wear mini launcher to see if that solves the "not receiving notifications anymore" problem (which was easily cured by a reboot of the watch). After removing wear mini launcher I also had to restart the watch because notifications did not work anymore, so it could be related.

Item 1 - I faced the same problem intermittently. The notifications come back again after I manually displayed the previous message (the one without notification) on the watch.

Let me try to explain my case:
- when this issue first happened, my watch did not display the notification when the notification is received on my phone
- I then swiped the screen of my watch to check if the notification was transferred to my watch or not although it was not displayed
- After swiping, the missing notification displayed on my watch immediately which indicated that the message was transferred to my watch although it was not displayed
- After the above actions (swiping and read the notification), my watch was back to normal for a while (the notifications could be displayed on the watch automatically).
I repeat the above actions every time when I noticed the notifications could not be displayed automatically.

I have same issue few times since the last update
It is strange to ear the notification sound and see nthing on watch, I look at phone and I see the notifcation icon on notification bar and all like you.
This Wear update sucks horribly. I've had this watch, GWR,for two weeks. I like it. Wear is complete garbage. Notifications randomly stop pushing to watch, reboot to temporarily fix. Randomly get 'offline' message despite showing 'connected' in Wear app, reboot fixes temporarily. Upon giving voice command, watch occasionally displays 'offline' message despite a strong data connection, usually no more notifications with this as well, reboot to fix. Battery life is 14 hours at best. So at the end of the day, I have a 300$ AMOLED watch. I bought this device so I could keep my phone in my pocket...this happens about one fifth of the time. The rest is me rebooting, uninstalling, reinstalling toggling Bluetooth and now randomly checking my phone to see what I'm missing because the toy on my wrist is totally unreliable. Nice work Google.

What kind of phone is your watched paired with? I get about 2.5 to 3 days on a charge. Everything is rock solid for the most part. The only thing I'm pissed about is I keep getting my step count card even though I tried fit notifications off.

I'm paired to an LG G2 rooted on xdabbebs 2.2.0. I can stretch my battery further but I chose to leave screen always on, skymaster face with ambient on level 3-4. 2-3 days is believable if your screen is off, backlight low, using theater mode here and there.... everyone's mileage will vary for sure but mine was definitely low.
I think I may have figured out what is causing the random disconnects and could be to blame for higher battery consumption. I'm gonna wait until tonight and see if my connection remains solid before I get too excited.
So far so good though after 12 hours.

I think it has a lot to do with a setting in Bluetooth on my LG G2 that is labeled 'connectivity authorization' or something like that. I have to go in and re-tick 'automatically' every time I cycle Bluetooth on/off or reboot phone, as it defaults to 'always ask' and that is when I get the fast battery drain and connectivity issues. The other issue is that I fly for a living, generally two legs a day, so I am constantly switching into airplane mode on phone and watch and it seems that a huge drain occurs upon landing and coming out of airplane mode. After a bit the drain tapers off.
I'm looking more for a fix for the constant disconnections
My battery is fine I've had 2 days out of it and it's normally more than 50% by the end of the day
If you haven't tried already, reset the watch and make sure you pair it with the Wear app, not thru Bluetooth settings. Do you have the option in your phone Bluetooth menu under the connected watch to change the connectivity from 'always ask' to 'automatic ' ? I'm 90% sure this is causing my problems.
Multiple vibrating notifications, even on silent??
So I've had the Samsung Galaxy s6 edge with verizon since it first came out. There haven't been too many annoying problems with it. However, about 2 days ago I was prompted to update my software. And as soon as I did I've been having the constant annoying issue where even on silent or loud, I get multiple vibrating notifications. As long as there is something in my notification bar, while on or off screen I will get vibrating notifications. I tried to reset all settings. But it hasn't helped. I'm pretty sure verizon updated my baseband version. Please help. It's very annoying especially when I'm sleeping and my phone is on silent AND do not disturb I get vibrating notifications every minute or so. Thoughts??
In case you're still having this issue...Note Edge was doing this with the RSS Edge panel

I had the exact same issue I had to factory reset to make it stop.
When I receive a notification the watch vibrates but screen does not turn on automatically. I have light flow and I am able to set recurring vibrations to the watch but it doesn't turn the screen on. Has anyone had this problem before?
Side note: I wish we had more control over how the notifications are delivered to the watch.
I'm having same issues, driving me nuts
Anyone resolve this yet?
I have the same problem, it's really annoying.. I just wiped /cache, I will let you know if it works
EDIT: It didn't help, I still have the same problem..
Same issue. Worked after an updated and now not anymore. Android wear is failing the Gwatch R. Instead of working on new features or taking away existing ones google devs need to fix the basics first.
I've searched far and wide and can't find a solution for this issue.
Here is what happens: for no reason that I can see (no new notifications), my screen turns on its own. My phone is just there on the table when this happens and I haven't touched it.
This happens whether the phone is plugged in or not. It happens in the middle of the night and wakes me up.
Things I came tried:
- turn on do not disturb and remove all exceptions.
- disable always on display.
- disabled all lock screen notifications.
- disabled a notifications.
Other things I've tried:
Lift to wake and all other things that could wake the screen.
Did a factory data reset and re setup my phone from scratch.
Nothing works. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance.
I had the very same problem until a few days ago when this behaviour suddenly stopped. What changed? I had shutdown my Pebble watch and connected a Wear OS watch to my phone.
I don't know what the Pebble did, but it looks like it woke up my phone at random intervals.
Maybe it a bluetooth device you've connected?
I'm expeciencing sometimes this behaviour when listening to the music on bike with phone in pocked on back. I disabled all "smart" funcions like smart lock, pocket detecting, wearing detection etc and it stopped.
I think it is caused by new type of proximity sensor used in whole S10 line (so I think it is hw related). I read somewhere than it detects skin proximity even thru several layers of cloting.
It is behaving strange even during phone calls - when put phone down from my ear, it tooks several seconds until screen lights on.
it's one of the things that bothers me a lot about otherwise great phone.
facing same issue
I always loved Samsung galaxy s10. I bought it from my friend who used it for 10 months. I am facing the same issue first I thought it is because he used it for 10 months and some bug appeared but now I came to know its not just me. if anyone knows how to fix it then please post a reply. I really need to fix this
I haven't noticed that on my S10. It sounds like something is triggering it, but what. Do all of you use Bixby because I don't.
