I am using the Gear on my SG S3 with the 4.3 update. Everything seems to work fine. I get notifications from third party software, calls come in fine over the gear and my calander notifications work great too (using Biz Calendar).
The one problem I have is with my Alarm. I use the standard Alarm on the Galaxy S3 and at first the snooze/dismiss would work on my smartwatch. But it was hit and miss. Sometimes it would show up, sometimes not. Lately, the last week or so, it hasn't showed up at all. When the alarm goes on my my S3, the gear is silent. I really like this feature since I was able to snooze my alarm from my watch and not have to grab the phone.
I have tried clearing the cache, reinstalling the gear manager, resetting the gear back to factory and starting from scratch. The gear might work once to dismiss the alarm, then not again. Everything else works fine, just this one thing.
Any advice?
Thanks
EDIT: Doing a factory reset will solve many of the issues mentioned, specially the battery drain, I suggest you to do a factory reset and do the initial setup, then leave the watch on charge overnight, the next day restart both your phone and your watch (don't take the watch of the charger yet), wait 20 minutes and then unplug the watch from the wall and just use it as usual, you should see a huge battery improvement. I did.
Bugs I noticed so far, please check if you can reproduce these yourself and let us know yours so we make a list. This is a thread I started on Asus forums and it might help ppl here to to iron some of these out.
1- After a call (accepted or not) the blue MIC image stays on the watch even after the call has ended (this happened on AW 1.5 already) - Multiple reports
2 - Watch vibrates non-stop during a call, even if you picked the call allready on the phone, the watch will start vibrating with no reason. - Multiple reports - SUPER ANNOYING!!!
3 - Battery drains much faster, with same usage I end a day with 30% on AW 2.0 instead of 65 to 70% on AW 1.5 - Multiple reports
4 - When not trough Wifi the "ok Google" command gives an error saying Google is out of reach, restarting phone fixes it, but if connection of phone and watch is broken, the "OK Google" voice command (or long-pressing the main button) won't work again, nor will other apps like the App store - Multiple reports
5 - if I pick one phone number with the "text message' icon, the watch does not go into listening mode to get the text content. Instead it keep on loading with the loading icon and no message can be sent out. However if I use "OK Google" command instead of go thru the Contact app I can send text messages - One report
6 - Turning theater mode on seems to break the alarm. Thankfully the alarm will still go off, but the screen becomes unresponsive. Clicking dismiss or snooze won't work. Restart of watch is needed. Only happens when the watch is in theater mode. - One report
7 - Huge delay when phone receives a call to when watch shoes that call. - Multiple reports.
8 - Dowload speed on watch is most of the times terrible slow - Multiple reports
9 - "Ok Google" actions takes much longer to activate than on previous version - Multiple reports
10 - WhatsApp-ing someone is impossible it keeps asking "to whom?" indefinitely. - One report
11 - Pairing seems to be having problems - One report
12 - UI losing frames - One report
13 - Keyboard missing some symbols - Multiple reports
1. This occurred to me on 1.5 but hasn't reproduced it for me on 2.0
3. Battery draining around 4% per hour. Seems very similar to 1.5
9. Seems about the same to me.
Clean cache!
None of them, except for keyboard symbols.
All the same issues until I clean the cache.
1. Turn off the watch
2. Press the main and bottom button about 15 seconds "asus logo and reboot bootloader message apears" then a green android with a "!" symbol appears.
3. swipe on the screen
4. a bootloader menu appears, then swipe up or down until "Clear cache" is selected, then swipe right.
5. after is done swipe to select "reboot to sytem" swipe right and you're done.
Many problems fixed even the google assistant lag.
1. Works good, no issue
2. Works good, no issue
3. Battery almost same as 1.5
The rest i do not use or no problems with.
Annoying : swipe left change to change watchface. I do not like it this way
I received my watch off of Amazon two days ago, let it go through it's initial updates and then took the 2.0 update. It seemed to be working okay, but I did an FDR as I often do after major updates and it completely screwed the watch up. It reboots every five minutes now.
I unlocked the bootloader, downgraded back to 1.5 and tried the process over again to no avail. Not sure if it was the upgrade or just a dud watch, but I'm glad I'm still within my return policy deadline.

I recommend doing what @artur777 explains bellow, it fixed some of the issues for me, to the point where I'll no longer go back to AW1.5, even so, some bugs persist and won't be solved by the factory reset.
Hi Everyone,
I highly recommend doing a factory reset (see my post from 2017/07/24). It solved many problems for me and the watch OS works now like brand new! Give it a try and maybe it will do the trick for some of you too. It will definitely not make things worse, I think.
You can restore your watch OS to the factory settings either on your watch or on your phone through the Android Wear app:
On the watch:
Settings -> System -> Disconnect & reset
On the Android Wear app (phone):
Settings -> tap ASUS ZenWatch 3 under Device settings -> UNPAIR WATCH (at the bottom of the screen)
The process of resetting your watch will take a while until your watch is ready to be paired with your phone again. In my case it took about 15 minutes, so don't panic if it takes too long.
Mind that unpairing your watch from your phone will reset it to the factory settings and delete all the apps and settings you had configured on your watch. The fatory reset will NOT roll your watch OS back to AW1.5 though, but it will flash the AW2.0 to it's original state as if it were freshly installed on a brand new device.
Once the watch OS has been successfully restored (you should see this on the screen) you will need to pair your watch with your phone again through the Android Wear app and re-install all the apps and set the settings up to your liking and preference.
Good luck to everyone!
When i press the do not disturb option the phone does not turn silent where in 1.5 it used to make it silent...any suggestion?
One more Bug
Reminders notification, marked as complet, causing not to be seen in watch or phone. In some exceptions when there is a bad comunication with phone the reminder stay a few seconds.
Google is aware of this bug, and they are working on it with a promise to fix it soon with an update to their google app. (Working right in wear 1.5).
By the way many bugs listed, happen to me, but were fixed with a factory reset in watch, unpair and erase (forget any bluetooth reference) and clear dalvik cache in phone.
Some things doesnt improve immediately like google now or battery.
But I have to say that I own a zenwatch 2 too. Recently updated to wear 2.0 and it works better maybe in every task by example google now, speed downloading apps and battery so far (today from 8:15 to 22:05 65 % available, screen always on brightness level 3, 21 notifications and 1 hour monitoring google fit activities, 3 apps updated (13 MB))
So I think Asus need to put attention on whats going on.
I will make a comparison video in 2 days. Zenwatch 2 vs. Zenwatch 3 both android wear 2.0
Have a good time
My watch is not updating the day and date on the watchface unless I change watchfaces or reset the watch. I.E: It's saturday and it shows Friday. It will keep showing Friday for days unless I change watchfaces or reset.
Does anyone else have this problem as well?
battery drain formost!
my battery drains very fast. Faster than aw 1.5

I have seen some of these issues on my watch running AW 2.0.
The delay with the calls is the most annoying one. Also if u have wrist gestures on and u turn your wrist when the Call Ui is up, the gestures removes the notifcation and u have to answer call on phone.
I experience another bug. I have a pattern password set on my watch and I placed watch in Eco mode. After the watch is locked in Eco mode, the screen is unresponsive to enter the pattern and none of the buttons work. A restart is neccesary.
Also. I have disabled Smart replies, yet whenever i go in whatsapp chats there are atleast 5 smart reply otions.
hi all, just got this watch, so far so good. only problem is that my watch does NOT notify me when I have an incoming call - except if I set the watch to play voice on incoming call. I'd rather not do this, just the straight up notification. does anyone know how I can adjust this? thanks!

Again thank you

check the settings to see that you don't have any apps blocked.
is your phone getting the notifications, but just that the watch is not?
for me, all of the notifications that I want to show on my watch, are showing. lone exception are Google Feed notifications like traffic (which I used to get and loved, but no longer do).
I checked all these, but the only thing that helped was a factory reset.

Actually, when I had this issue, factory resetting the watch did not help, and it takes hours to restore all the apps. Clearing data (NOT the cache) for the Android Wear app (now "Wear OS") fixed it for me, and while it seemed to want to go through setup again, it also seemed to sync with my watch and skip to the end of the setup. It even kept the list of apps for which I had disabled notifications, and now all the other notifications work!
I did notice a few small changes in the watch display after this, so I have a suspicion that the watch needed an OS update but was stuck for some reason. I do reboot it every week or two or three, whenever it seems to get slow, so I know it didn't just need a reboot to update.
I'm having an issue where after the factory reset... the watch says continue setup on phone. My phone is still getting details
So, over the last few weeks I've found that my P20 Pro vibrates for no (known reason), every now and again. Usually multiple times per day.
I've tried turning it off and back on, killing the apps, checking for updates, turning notifications off on most apps.
Has anyone had a similar problem and /or has any way of diagnosing or fixing it?
I have experienced the same thing, so you're not totally alone if that helps. I haven't found the cause yet either. I suspect it might be WiFi+ vibrating when the source switches back and forth so it'll happen in stints for me.
i have the same thing and i think i might found the reason, i have some muted WhatsApp chat groups and it seems like that every now and then when i get messages in these groups my phone vibrates although i muted them . There is no notification but a short vibration.
Another thing that bothers me more is when receiving an whats app message my phone vibrates once short and after that the way i set it up in the settings...
I begin to get it after an update. hope to see a solution soon.
No
I believe I've found the cause and solution to the Huawei mate 20 pro random vibrations.
I installed a notification logger from the play store and found that it was logging notifications of repetitive image downloads completing that lined up with every buzz.
If you go into settings, apps and choose to see system apps in the menu, you can force close the download and download manager apps. If you then clear the data and cache from each, you should find the phantom notifications stop.
I haven't had one in days now, and it was all the time.
I hope this is of help.
This happens to me a lot. Its mainly due to voice recognition thinking I'm am speaking to the phone. It happens randomly when watching TV, at work on even in the train. There's no specific key work that triggers it,. It happens at random. This is my issue with the random vibration but your could be a different reason although

Mine was definitely the download manager continuously redownloading Google photos images. Force stop, clear data, clear cache of the download and download manager system apps and mine has been fine now for a week. Try it!
Had the same issue months ago. Cleaning cache and data of stock download manager app solved it for me.
Mine started doing same yesterday ?
I have the mate 20 pro, and it's just started randomly vibrating with no notification
So my phone is now starting to randomly vibrate like bursts of short vibrations that last a while, but there's no notifications or anything? I don't know how to find the "download manager" to check if it's that. I'm not sure which apps to force stop. It's really annoying though.
Do you use Textra? Happened to my wife's s8 and she just uninstalled then reinstalled Textra to make the problem go away.
I have cleared the download manager and everything else several times, but it only works for few days even hours and starts again. I'm not sure if it activities itself again after I download something, but nevertheless, this just shouldn't happen. How can I disable download manager permanently (or preferably just the vibrations, as I assume DM is there for a reason)
Had the same issue. No problem from textra, for me it was google drive. I uninstalled it, cleared cahe and data and I am now using OneDrive. I haven't experienced any random vibrations since then.
Mate 20 X had similar issue after EMUI 9.1 upgrade and turned out to be contacts sync system app constantly trying to sync contacts. Force stop and cleared data and all good now.
I have the same issue on regular mate 20 since the last software update to EMUI 9.1.0. All the suggested solutions here did not resolve the issue. If someone has more suggestions please share
I fixed it. It's a system application called "Contacts Sync" disabling it solved the issue for me.
Settings > apps > show system processes > search for Contacts Sync > disable and force close it

This didnt work for me, but i found another solution. I stopped almost all apps from autostart. except email and messangers. that immediately solved the issue and the phone boots much faster as well, nice sideeffect
You need to go into battery usage and then click on the individual app, then app launch.
I hope that helps

I just noticed this on my mate 20x on 9.1 on vibrate mode. Did your solution permanently resolve this issue or do you have to do it multiple times or after restarts?

Phone: dual sim Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N9500) running Android 8.0
Does anyone get individual apps losing their notification sound setting? Recently my Twitter app stopped making audible notifications and when I checked, I found that the notification sound was set to "24270" which is not in my sounds list. This last happened to the default SMS app. Any ideas as to a) why this happened and b) is it possible to globally reset sound notifications?
TIA
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I've noticed that my N950F doesn't always play Whatsapp notification tones, although I see the LED and notification bar. Rebooting the phone, works for a few hours.
I found this was a problem for a long time, but after doing a factory reset and installing Pie it's all working again. I also had issues with the notification LED that are gone now.
I had the same probleme since pie-update with just one of some chats in telegram. Only one was set to "silense" over night. I had tried first to exclude it from accu-optimization. Next day it was the same, same chat in telegram was set to silence. Now i tried the "apps in standby" under battery->.../settings->apps in standby. If there is your "problem"-app showing up, then delete it from that list withe delete in the right top corner. that solved it for myself, since 2 days now no silnce anymore.
Yeah, make sure any apps you want notifications from are not blocked from using battery or background data in the app settings.
It is probably a software conflict. Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work backup the data stored on your device and perform a hard factory reset.

I have the same issue with Whatsapp, sometimes, but mine seems to fix itself again after a while. I'm using a modded version of Whatsapp and I just chalked it up to be an issue with that. It's interesting to note the problems other people are having.
