phone lost alert smartwatch 2

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.

[Q] Not getting notifications until...

Any one else have the problem of not getting notifications until you unlock the phone? I notice it also with facebook messenger, facebook, and not getting email either. Is this just me or someone else having this problem?

Are you completely stock or rooted on a custom ROM?

Mine does/did the same thing. Never figured out what it was. Now it is up for sell and I am using my newer HTC One. I think it might be the power saver but never got around to testing it. In PS mode it is supposed to turn data off when the phone is sleeping.

messing around with the settings and found it has something to do with the lock screen security. When its set to "none" the notifications works fine. I have tried a couple of the apps for screen locks and are not satisfied with them as far as thier looks. I am really hoping when ATT finally released the kit kat update it will fix this problem. I just sold my LG G2 to get this phone. Kinda disappointed now that ATT released its update today.
I used to have the HTC one but didnt like not having the sd card. I found I like the bigger screens.

Did you finally figure out the solution? I am completely stock, not rooted and have the same issue since last 6 months. I never had any lock screen, so thats not the issue, I always have my phone unlocked.
The problem is not app specific. The delay in notification happens all across the board. When my phone is sleeping, i dont get any notification. As soon as I wake it up, all notification come at the same time, including Yahoo mail, Gmail, hangout messages, whatsapp, Google voice, twitter and others.
It seems like the wifi/data is disabled when phone is sleeping. I double checked in the Advanced Wifi option that wifi is always on. Some people said that the push notification heartbeat might be the issue but why only few of us are seeing this issue and not everyone?
Anyone have any solution?

I have always had my Note 3 on PIN, and I always wake up to at least 2 or 3 emails (sometimes many more), and at least 2 or 3 days I wake up to a new text (I don't text people normally, but Amazon texts me to let me know an order has shipped, etc.)
So it's not the email or text app and it's not the lock screen "as a rule on all devices". It could be a few different things, like allowing wifi to be turned off when the screen is off (that saves so little battery it doesn't make any practical difference - turn it off and keep wifi on all the time). I don't normally run with 3G/4G on, but that shouldn't turn off during sleep, so it wouldn't cause the problem.

[Q] Gmail push notifications

Hi guys,
I recently changed from a nexus 5 and the phone is super nice. Of course, hardware > software.
In any case, I noticed a starting a few days back that I do not get gmail push notifications as they come.
Meaning, I have to pull to refresh. This also means that I do not get new gmail notifications.
I did some fiddling around with the settings and it wasn't set to notify me for all new mail but even with this on, I don't get timely notifications.
I did further research and noticed that I get my notifications on wifi but not on regular data.
-edit-
I tried it again and now both wifi and data are not reliable. I'm on a hotel wifi connection so I expected this but I wasn't expecting this from the data.
Has anyone heard of the S6edge having possible radio/modem issues? If so, I'm going to go exchange this device for another s6e.
I'm really hoping that it doesn't come to that and that it's a software issue more than hardware.
The thing is, I don't know if anyone knows but the same thing above happens to me with an application called kakao talk (a korean version of whatsapp)
I don't get push notifications and when I open the app I get bombarded with messages.
After opening the app and then closing it, I get updates like normal.
I can't figure this out. Do any one of you have any suggestions?

I don't get notifications for gmail or inbox either, everything is turned on. It was bothering me before but I got used to it . I use kakao religiously but with notifications off..I'll tick then on and see

I couldn't wait and I just factory reset my phone.
Gmail notifications come as they should without me having to manually refresh the feed.
Yesterday morning I was on wifi and kakao notifications came in time as well, but I forgot to try this on the network and slept after turning it off last night.
This morning I woke up a little earlier than my alarm and noticed no notifications thinking I didn't get any.
However as soon as my alarm rang and I turned it off, notifications started coming.
Am I going insane? The device seems to go into some network sleep mode and will only start connecting once it's literally awaken.
I'm trying to rule out app bug, software bug, but most importantly, if this is a hardware bug.
If this is a hardware issue, I only have about a week to exchange it.

Disable and uninstall (updates) google play services. Later on you can re-update google play services. I know this is same as doing a factory reset but it is worth a try. I did the same to fix mine.

You are not losing your mind, this is a software bug and others have this issue as well especially with google related products.

Late notification?

Hello,
I have been noticing that some apps don't receive push notifications after the phone has been sitting overnight, such as Outlook and home security apps. In have turned off app optimizing for them to prevent the phone putting them to sleep, but the issue still occurs. Any idea what else I can do?
Thanks

I posted something similar. The fix works no problem on S7 / S8, but on Note8, at least at launch, the workaround didn't seem to work. Not sure if this has been resolved.

I use Outlook and have no problem with notifications. But I have disabled the app from Battery Monitor too, so it never suspends and works just fine even if the phone was sleeping for a while.

I use the duos variant, SM-N950F with Exynos.
This is the build: NMF26X.N950FXXU1AQI1
Basically the stock firmware that came with it, didn't even received an update yet.

OK. My issues were on the Qualcomm variant, original FW (don't remember the version) where disabling battery optimization on the apps wasn't actually working (vs. my S7 / S8 where it works no problem).

I only had problems with Facebook Messenger getting disconnected even if I was using the Note 8, but works fine with older versions. I have no problem with any other app notification. Maybe try doing a factory reset if you can't get any notification while sleeping even with both Battery Monitor and Battery Optimizations are disabled for the app.

I've been having this problem with GMail ever since I got this phone. I've tried all of the workarounds, including excluding it from doze and it doesn't work. I've given up getting notifications for GMail. I stopped using the verizon messenger app because the notifications were so unreliable.

It sounds like that unlike on all previous Samsung models, the exclude from Doze feature is not working on the Note8.

Yea. Either not working at all, or at least not working well. Hopefully this is something that gets fixed somewhere along the way. I haven't had an update since October 4th. They don't seem to be anxious to fix things.

I went back to my S8+ because of this. Not having my email deliver in a timely manner is a critical thing for me.

Understandable. Fortunately for me, it's more of an annoyance than something critical. Were you having the problem with GMail, or was it some other type of email? I've been thinking of giving the stock email client a try with GMail, to see if it's any better.

Nine Email - one of the best Exchange clients out for Android. No issues on S7 or S8 when excluding in Doze, only the Note8 has issues. I know its Doze related as Facebook Messenger has the same issues.

That's a problem of the Gmail app from ages... I never got it to work reliable in any device from lollipop. That's why I use Outlook, no problems here.

This is the first phone I have had where Gmail isn't reliable. I had a Note 4 and prior to that, an S3. I never had problems with it on either one. I didn't know that there was an outlook for android. I might have to check it out, especially seeing as I could use it for work email.

Notifications when screen is off not working?

I have Edge Lighting enabled and set to always on and the 2 apps I want to show notifications when the screen is off are enabled: Signal and Orgzly. I disabled Always-On Display and Edge Lighting should still work, right? My understanding is that with Edge Lighting, my screen is off and when I get notifications, it will trigger. Essentially, it's a replacement to the traditional LED light. The only time I've seen Edge Lighting triggered is when I'm actually using my phone (i.e. the screen is on), which is pretty pointless. The only time the screen goes from off to "notifying" me is when I'm getting a call.
I'm not sure if I need certain permissions for the apps, but I did enable notifications for them. I have disabled "Allow background activity" for all my apps--don't think this is relevant.
Any help is much appreciated. It's frustrating because I've been using my S10 significantly less than my old phone just because I'm not getting any notifications when the screen is off, which is most of the time.
P.S. Not sure if related, but occasionally I'm not even getting notifications unless I literally open the app, then I get bombarded with notifications accumulated. It's not so often that I feel there's a solution for it.

gmail, is samsung email client any good? didnt bother trying cause oem apps are usually sh*t.
i think it's some kind of power saving setting, sometimes it happens on other apps too.
