I have my watch hooked to my Galaxy S3 Plus & until yesterday it worked perfectly. I had my phone set to vibrate only & the watch set to ring & vibrate with the Feel The Wear app.
Yesterday, a call came in & the phone vibrated, but the watch didn't do anything. I opened up feel the wear & it said "phone operation only". I rebooted both the phone & watch & it started working fine again, but today the same thing happened again. The really odd thing is, I have a custom ring tone for texts coming into the watch with message + & the feel the wear app is now saying "the connected watch does not support ringtones" Well it supported hem just fine until yesterday LOL
Has anybody else had this happen??

This problem seems to have fixed itself.

Uggh.. Might have to stop wearing this thing because I cannot figure this out. Everyday, it seems like my Gear will randomly stop giving notifications. Everything is setup correctly and the check boxes are marked and everything. If I toggle bluetooth or reset the gear, the notification comes right through. Ive tried completely resetting the Gear and even doing a factory reset on my Note 3. No luck.
Any ideas on what could cause this? Im all stock.
I have this same problem. I've read other places that if your phone screen is on when the notification arrives, it won't send it to your phone. But even if that is true, it still seems inconsistent at times. It is frustrating...

Yup. If the phone screen is on the notification wont come through. When you turn the screen off, the notification should come through on the watch. That makes sense.
But you said, it's frustrating when it flat out misses notifications..
Yea, noticed I was missing some Gmail notifications today and rebooted the gear and all started working properly again. Makes no sense.
Yep, this is happeing to mine as well. My watch will be quite for a while and ill pick up my phone and boom, i have 3 texts and an email and my watch did nothing. screen was off and the icon that says gear is connected is there as well.
yeah started noticing this after Gear Manager updated itself to the white version (1.7)
This happened to me few times, but I've made a habit by disconnecting and reconnecting it to gear manager on every morning when I start to wear it.
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.
I bought the Watch R a week or so ago and I've been trying to work out why the Google Now notifications are so unreliable.
At first, I thought it was just me - I never really embraced Google Now and actually had it turned off on my phone (Galaxy S6 Edge). A few days ago I turned it on, configured it and was expecting to see the odd card popup on my watch every now and then but I've had zip.
So, I thought I'd test the notifications on the watch, from the Android Wear app, but the only notification that works all the time is the phone call. Most of the other notifications just don't pop up on screen and the only way I see them is to swipe the face from above and then they're there. Is this normal behaviour? I thought that notifications were supposed to popup on the screen, like on my phone!
I've reset the phone a couple of times in desparation but it's made no difference. I've unpaired the watch from the phone and re-paired it after forgetting the device. No difference. Removed all the custom watch faces and used only the once that came with the watch and once again, no difference.
I do get notified of text messages and emails with no problem, but nothing from Google Now.
Can anyone please suggest anything?
I have the s6 and I don't receive any notifications except the test phone call. I believe it to be a samsung problem with it killing the wear app from running in the background. watch worked fine with my other phones.
It's ridiculous, my s6 / gwr doing the same thing. Reboot both and things work for a little while, then gradually peters away to nothing. Except for sometimes I'll tap the watch for the time, and some random google now cards will be there, which I dismissed days before! Swipe them away but the same few keep coming back! As for the weather reports, well they've not worked for over a month now. And all this without me touching any settings whatsoever. I've exempted the android wear app from battery optimisation in the s6 too, incase they were that dense they'd overlooked that core app, but doesn't seem to have sorted it. Seems every time these companies update stuff they break it, and don't care about fixing it.!
Hi.
Two weeks ago I got my LG Watch Urbane. I use it with my (unrooted) Sony Xperia Z3 (Android 5.1.1). Almost everything works fine.
However, I have a problem with incoming phone calls. The LG Watch urbane needs 2-3 seconds after my phone indicated the incoming call. If I accept the call on the phone (not via the watch), the watch keeps vibrating for a long time. Sometimes, when I have a short call, the watch vibrates even though I already hung up.
This issue occurs not only when the phone is locked and the stamina mode is running (Android Wear is in the exception list), but also when the screen is unlocked and the phone is "active".
Android Wear and Smartwatch are updated to the latest version. Reboot and reconnect doesn't have any positive effect.
Can anybody help me please?
Thank you!
Maik
Edit:
Sometimes the watch stops vibrating immediately when I answer the call during while working with the phone (=unlocked). Unfortunately not always...

Unfortunately I can't help but I can confirm that it's not just your watch. I've had my Urbane for a while but it just started doing the same thing you've described within the past couple of weeks. It's very annoying and I never had this problem before.
Thanks for your reply.
Did you find a solution for this issue meanwhile?
It is really annoying... :crying:
My AA isn't fully working.....again. My Verizon Galaxy S7 has been working fine ever since the last factory reset I did back on 8/8. At that time I turned off auto-update to apps in case some Google app was going to update and cause the issue again and I'm actually up to date on all my apps.
A few days ago everything was working fine. With no new apps added and no new updates and all of a sudden that night, my text messages stopped being read back to me. But the weird thing is the last couple of times this happened, AA wouldn't talk at all. So if I said "Call Steve mobile" the call would go through but AA never confirmed by saying "OK, calling Steve mobile" - or - if I asked for the weather it would just beep and be silent. This time around though, all that works. AA asks if I want to call mobile or home, and I can ask for the weather and get it. The only thing that AA is not doing at this point is reading text messages to me.
I've seen suggestions about making sure my media volume is up - and it is. SUGGESTIONS?????
