Ok. So I picked up a used Gear Live for a song and a dance and have the latest AW on my phone and on the watch. I have gone through all of the settings and for some reason the watch only vibrates when it receives a notification from the phone. The screen doesnt come on automatically when the screen vibrates with a notification. Is the screen supposed to come on automatically when a notification is received? My previous AW watchs screen turned on when it received a notification. Any thoughts??? TIA.

Last night I got woken up three times by the phone. On the screen it was running the cozy Night Watch, and all of the sudden it had a notification. It was a short, pretty scary melody like a notification, with vibration too. But there was no notification in the notification area - no new call, sms, skype event. After the second notification I saw that it found updates, updated all applications, and yet it rang another time! I saw a facebook event in the morning, but facebook wasn't set to ring anything on a notification.
What could this be? Is there any way to find all sound files from the phone, to check app by app which one did this?
If I have my Note II in vibrate mode, the Gear Live doesn't pop up with a text notification. Is this as designed or am I missing something?
Mine popup on watch, but it doesn't vibrate which kinda defeats the purpose I rekon
With the new update it looks like the watch mirrors the phones notification settings. I usually have my phone on silent (priority mode) and then my watch setup to notify me of anything. Now the little star shows on my watch as well and its muted. :crying:
Ever since Lollipop I have been frustrated with the lack of ability to turn off the phone's vibrate easily. I used to just set my phone to silent mode all the time (in fact, all day at work). Now my phone is probably louder than it would be otherwise simply because it's vibrating my whole freaking desk every time a notification comes across. I tried using tasker to just lower the volumes but you still can't turn off the vibrate. How in the world can I get this phone to simply show the notifications on the screen (or my Moto 360) without sound and without vibrating?
Also just to add, if I set my priority to None, it will be silent and still show the notifications on the screen, but then they won't show on my Moto 360. Ugh.
For 360-only notifications: Android Wear app -> Settings -> Mute phone alerts & calls
This way, your phone will be silent and your 360 will function as normal. However, this won't stop your 360 from vibrating.
I have a Note 8 Oreo (stock SM-N950F) and a Huawei Watch 2 4G.
I didn't have any problems until recently, but now when I have a missed call phone does not show any notifications in the notification bar, but if I go to recent calls I can see it as missed. The watch rings and shows the call as missed in notifications. The problems started before the upgrade to Oreo, which I did yesterday.
When I disconnect the watch (bluetooth off), missed call notifications are back to normal in phone.
I don't have other notification problems (mail, sms, etc) when phone and watch are connected. I checked all notification settings and permissions I could imagine, in both phone and watch, and everything looks normal.
Any ideas?
