Annoying Gear/Gmail Notification Update

Please ignore, I just noticed that this is being discussed with the latest Gear update
With the latest Gear Manager update I get a request to access my Gmail account (I can live with that), but now I receive notifications for EVERY incoming e-mail and not just for my primary inbox as it was in the past. I often don't read notification e-mails and every time I get a new message I get reminded for EVERY unread message on my Gear (vibrates on and on and on).
Does someone know how to revert back to the old notification style or find this update also extremely annoying?
Silly question but how did you set it up to give notifications for Gmail. When I try through gear manager the option is greyed out in the extra notifications section.

Edit - that's weird I just tried again and now the option is available.

[Q] Individual Text notifications

Is there a way to update the contacts app, or install a third party one, that allows for setting individual text notification sounds? I've seen this option on other android devices, but on my Note 3 (running alliancerom v6) it only gives the option for setting individual ringtones. I've used third party messaging apps (like Go sms) that allows for individual settings, but I'm tired of all the advertisements and spam that comes with those. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Google Hangouts has support for individual chat message tone and I believe that works with text message too. Can you try that?

Contacts + it's a great contact/dialer/messaging replacement app, you can set individual notifications but it's got tons and tons of other features...definitely worth checking out if you haven't already
Native Contacts

I believe you can set it up using your native contacts app....Go into your contacts and pick one, click on the little pencil thingy on the top right to edit the contact. If you look towards the bottom, i believe below the email or groups title, You have one that says ringtone and another below that one that says Message alert. There you can add a customized ringtone and message sound to that contact...Hope this helps

**NOTIFICATIONS** - How Do You Get Them To Work All The Time?

I really think my X527 (now running 21s and showing as X526) is a well made phone for the money but the lack of notifications is getting old now.
I've followed various guides but still fail to get notifications for emails in particular.
Yahoo mail never gets notifications at all.
Whatsapp seems to be the most reliable, followed by Facebook Messenger.
Between the extremes of WhatsApp and Yahoo Mail it's hit or miss.
Any recommendations?
Nobody cares about notifications or have simply acclimatised to not needing them then?
same problem

Try to whitelist the app from being cleared from memory. I made a post to that effect here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78137018&postcount=1027
Also, find the setting to allow apps to automatically start at boot and add the app to autostart list.
I'll try
I followed many guides but none worked
do you get notifications after a long period of inactivity?
Go to the phone manager app and exclude the required apps from battery optimisation
no changes
Go to permission, app auto launch and include the required apps

No notifications at all

Ever since I changed to this phone I am missing notifications from "less important apps", such as my banking apps, even Google Hangouts and sometimes Telegram, I get NO notifications whatsoever.
Yes, notifications are enabled for those apps
Yes, I have changed Special Access => Battery optimization => Not allowed for those apps
Yes, I have changed the Battery => App launch to Manage manually for all those apps
I am on EMUI 9.0 now. I just want to receive notifications, can anyone tell me HOW?
I've been experimenting for weeks now... And the best I could achieve was receiving a second notification from my banking app, after the first expected one was completely ignored.

Missing notifications

I am running EX Kernel, Magisk, Edexposed, and Blackenedmod. I used to have all notifications come just fine to my phone and my smartwatch. Recently I stopped receiving certain notifications.
For example Snapchat no longer sends me a notification if someone is typing or if a message has been sent to me. I notice I have to open Snapchat before it pulls a chat update request from their server. Also, I have games that notify me about stuff every few hours/daily reset, but I no longer get those notifications either for those games.
Could I have done something to my phone where some apps give me notifications but others don't? I checked settings and no notifications are disabled. Wear OS is also set to disable notifications on my phone while I'm wearing the watch but I had that setting on before and got notifications just fine. Any ideas for me?
Edit: fixed Snapchat by reinstalling it. But reinstalling my game won't give me the passive notifications.
