Hello guys, I have disabled the Gmail application and installed the Samsung Email because I want the dark theme.
Although the notifications don't come to my Galaxy Watch. They're enabled in the watch and the app settings.
Any clue?
Any help guys?

was it working before you disabled gmail?
I just froze gmail using titanium. backup and sent myself an email and received it no problem. you sure the link between the watch and phone is not at fault?
try to use the find my phone watch app and see if it can communicate correctly.
I have been having issues with the the watch being in remote connection mode on my wifi. on LTE it works perfectly. and obviously on bluetooth also.

It's the first time that I try the Samsung mail application.
All the other notifications come flawlessly to the watch. Even with the Gmail enabled (and with both options enabled to receive or not the notifications) the Samsung Mail don't send the notifications to the watch.
No problem between Note's 9 and watch's communication, all the notifications arrive to the watch fine.

It's not stupid question, my bad that I didn't wrote it in first place.
Yes, all the Samsung Email notifications are on but for some they can't be pushed to the watch.
The strange thing is that's the one and only application with this issue. I have a hundred more that all work as supposed to work.
I'm thinking to reset the watch but I don't have the time to setup the 50 watchfaces I've got..

I am receiving notifications via sms know phone but not to the gear. Anyone else experiencing this?
Do you have sms notifications enabled in gear manager?
I'm getting some - but maybe 25% of them only. Very odd that something so simple could have so many problems.
I am not getting any texts or emails. Quite frustrating.
Only the default messenger app seems to work, no 3rd party one. Also if the phone is unlocked at the time the notification comes in, it will not be sent to the gear.
Notifications need a serious overhaul to enable system wide notification support like the pull down menu in android....
Remember, it's pretty new territory for android so patience is a virtue. Early adopters will feel most of the pain ^^

If it's still the default settings you wont get email notifications. The Gmail app isn't selected by default and it can only tell you you have an email with the gmail app anyway. It won't show who it's from etc, only the stock Samsung email app can give you info on emails when they come in. If you aren't getting texts, you should open the gear manager app on the Note 3, select "Settings", then select "Notification" and make sure "Messages" is checked.

Mine are all checked in setting. Still no notifications beinf pushed. Spoke with 2 representatives of Samsung both had no resolution. Anyone else?
Are tou usi g any other bluetooth devices while the gear is connected?
Try removing those.
Also worthwhile removing the gear using the gear manager > paired gear > remove before last resorting to factory reset?
Maybe something buggered up during the initial setup.

I didn't mean that it's all default settings. I meant I am using built in apps including Gmail. I don't even get notification that there is a text or an email. It is also set to receive messages in Gear Manager.

Are you using a Note 3? Your sig says Note 2. If you aren't using a Note 3 that is probably the problem, If you are you might want to try resetting the Gear in settings and then re-pair it and see if notifications start after that.
For what it's worth I've had zero problems getting any notifications I've selected on the Gear.

Restarting or turning notifications in gear manager off then on temporarily makes them notifications work again
Also make sure Blocking Mode isn't currently active.
I'm now getting the notification issue above, but with a variance...
My Samsung Note 3 was sending all kinds of notifications to my Gear (Mk.1) with no problem at all.
However I was having other problems and decided to do a Factory Reset.
After the Factory Reset it no longer sends any notifications at all to the Gear.
I have other apps that communicate successfully two-way with the Gear but not a single notification from any app makes it through.
I have done all of the things suggested above to no avail.
The notifications are turned on, additional notifications for other apps are turned on, but still no notifications whatsoever arrive on the Gear. The Gear Manager app has permissions for Notifications
The Note 3 is rooted and running Android 4.3.
The Gear Mk.1 says: s/w V700XXUBNC1 Model SM-V700.
Any ideas?

I had a replacement phone and decided not to turn S Voice in the gear manager and had no SMS notifications. It took a few days to work it out.
I was getting other notifications but it was the SMS that wasn't coming through. I turned is Voice on in the phone but it still didn't work and realised it not turned it on when setting up the Gear Manager... I'd not checked the S Voice box on its first start up!
To go back I uninstalled the Gear Manager then reinstalled it and when the setup screen came back and I got my SMS notifications back by running S Voice on the Gear as well as the phone. It may not be the issue in this thread but just wanted to save anyone the hassle that gets this.
Anyone having issues with Notifications?
I have my Gear all set up and its working...sort of.
I have email set up in the stock email app on the Note 3, infact I have 2 accounts set up and working.
I get the notifications coming through, but when I try and access them, the notifications app on the Gear crashes out with the message "Unfortunately Notifications has stopped"
I have tried to reset the Gear etc, with no change in behaviour.
Anyone else getting this issue, or has anyone any ideas to solve it?
Not experiencing that at all for four days of usage thus far...I'll let you know if I run into that same issue and/or find a solution.
Weird, I have hotmail and gmail accounts coming through native email app flawless w notifications in the Gear for each.

Dont take this personally but, lets try this. Go the the Gear app, click settings, make sure NOTIFICATION is ON. Next, hit the word NOTIFICATION and it will take you to the sub menu. In that menu, is th estock email app checked or not? If no, that is why you are not getting email notifications.
Post back and we can keep trouble shooting it.
On your phone, you can go into settings-general-accounts-Google-click on your gmail account address at the top-uncheck SYNC GMAIL. That will stop sending emails to the gmail app and help to send them to the stock email app.

Thanks, I had done that several times already without success- will try again. I have all my emails checked, even Gmail though I read I will get no detail. That is indeed a useful tip you provided about unchecking the sync to force the G Mail to the stock app.

Couple of suggestions:
Deleted gmail app account in stock emai app and recreate it.
Reset the Gear watch. Go in the watch to settings, scroll to the bottom and hit RESET Gear option.
Delete the bluetooth connection from the phone to the Gear and recreate it.
If none of this works, go to a BB and if they have a Samsung kiosk, the guy there will trouble shoot it and fix it for you. Otherwise, it could be a defective Gear and will need exchange.

[APP] Enhanced notifications aka ATN Manager <[v1.2.3.1_pre] NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT>
LATEST VERSION: v1.2.3.1_pre
Installation:
I stopped developing and distributing this app due to the latest Gear firmware release which brings full notifications to all apps. This is far superior to the ATN app and I will defer to Samsung on this one ^^
Thanks for the support and feedback, you guys made this a really fun experience! Cheerio

Seems to be working for me. I set gmail and google voice and both seem to work.Google voice shows the message, gmail only shows the senders name and the subject, so you cannot see the body unfortunately.

On the gear manager email needs to be checked, thats the base requirement. Gmail et al are optional.
In the ATN Manager you can check pretty much any app, some work well some don't and some won't work at all. I use and tested a very limited set and can only recommend experimenting with apps you want to receive notifications for and hope they work. Maybe we can start a list somewhere (please not here though) on which apps show notifications and which don't
Thank you, and awesome work! If possible, the couple of features that would be great would be setting different alerts for different apps, and location/date based alerting. I posted the first request on Github with the explanation of getting hundreds of emails a day, and wanting those alerts to still go to my Gear, but not vibrate, while having text messages and appointment reminders still vibrate. For the second request, I was thinking it would be awesome to have my corporate email alerts stop while at my office, and start back up when I leave. Also, it would be nice to have the ability to schedule alert sounds and vibrations based on time of day so that I don't have them going off while sleeping.
Be carefull..this thing screwed up my gear...i did the install, an decided to uninstaal because i got alot of emails with only numbers in it..now i keep getting the same mail as notification, and i cannot get rid of it...i have deleted it numerous times on the gear, it is deleted on my note and from my server...i even reset the gear...still i get the same notification...any help would be appreciated...

Uninstall the GearManager and reinstall it again. That should work. My app seems to send something that the NSync process doesn't like. It basically keeps the notification in the database and resends it everytime

From my previous comment:

You do not need to have "Communication notifications: checked. I just changed that and it worked perfectly
Not working at all for me:T-Mobile N900T
Baseband - N900TUVUBMI7
Gear Model: SM-V700
Software Ver.: V700XXUAMII
Installed ATN Manager, enabled in security settings, check apps, rebooted phone and watch twice. Nothing.
You do not need to have "Communication notifications: checked. I just changed that and it worked perfectly
Works ok so far.
Just to be sure...
The icon is supposed to be the @email icon ?
Gmail and Google voice messages come in and both say "@BOB EXAMPLE or TEXT FROM BOB EXAMPLE" like EMAIL would.
I assume we turn off Gmail notifications on the default gear manager correct ?
Anyone have Instagram working ?
Lastly whats battery usage on the phone and gear like ? I assume its a drain in alpha stage just want to be prepared.
So does this or does it not show entire Gmail notifications?

Way to dig up an irrelevant thread from 3 months ago. Since the Gear Manager update in December i think it was, you can get previews of notifications on the watch from all apps, including Hangouts.

If you install null_, then tether the Gear to the internet, you can use the play store on the Gear to install the full hangouts app on the watch. Then you can reply to messages on the watch, but you'll have to keep internet tethering on to do it.

Hi, have you personally done this? I got my gear a few days ago. And i havnt flashed a custom rom on it yet. But if you can confirm you have done this than i will most certainly go ahead with it! Thanks.
you i have done this. It only works for "internet" hangout messages though, not SMS.
keeping internet tethering enabled all the time is a battery killer for the watch and the phone though.

Hi, i took the plundge last night and installed Null rom on my Galaxy Gear, and tried what you suggested and it works!! Thanks alot for the info!
I have a Note 8 on At&t and Verizon. I have Facebook Messenger on both phones. Most notifications do not come through, i do not see a chat head pop up nor do i see a badge on the app. They only pop up when i open the app. I have reinstalled the app on the Att Note 8, i have tried installing Messenger Lite. All other apps still work fine (WhatsApp, messages, Duo, Etc) This is only a facebook problem. I have made sure the permissions are all set to yes, it is on the internal storage, volume is up, notifications in app and on the phone are set to allow. But it will randomly show notifications but a majority of the time it will not show or make a sound for any facebook messenger notifications. I have tried with wifi connected and not connected. Once i close the app it is like it no longer runs in the background.
Any suggestions?

Just bought my Note 8 N950F/DS for a few days having the same problem .... still finding solution .... no battery optimization for facebook messenger ... tried everything still not work ... factory reset still the same .... really out of option for now.... continue searching ...

Go to Settings - Apps
Click Menu in top right and select - Special Access
Select - Optimize Battery Usage ->
Click the dropdown menu towards the top of the screen that says: "Apps not optimized" - change to - All Apps
Turn off Messenger

Most notifications do not come through, i do not see a chat head pop up nor do i see a badge on the app. They only pop up when i open the app. I have reinstalled the app on the Att Note 8, i have tried installing Messenger Lite. All other apps still work fine (WhatsApp, messages, Duo, Etc) This is only a facebook problem. I have made sure the permissions are all set to yes, it is on the internal storage, volume is up, notifications in app and on the phone are set to allow. But it will randomly show notifications but a majority of the time it will not show or make a sound for any facebook messenger notifications. I have tried with wifi connected and not connected. Once i close the app it is like it no longer runs in the background.
Any suggestions?

Not sure why they're not coming through. I have a T-Mobile variant with no issues of messages and chat heads through messenger. I know you said you have checked your permissions but got to menu>settings>apps>messenger and check them there.
try "metal" from the play store and see if notifications work. it's a lightweight version of facebook app.
I have tried facebook lite and i have even set my facebook messenger in the special access to off but previously i had them all off. But i'll cross my fingers and see.
I am in the same boat. Same issue. All other notifications work except FB messenger. For a while i had messenger lite for a while and then installed the full messenger and that is when things stopped working. I've tried everything except wiping my phone at this point. To me it seems like the system keeps putting the app to sleep although i have as not monitored app.
I tried using Dual Messenger option ... and let it install 2nd app for Facebook and Messenger ... then i use my account on the 2nd app for both ... notification works perfectly. hope will help.

It seems to be working with the 2nd app. But my OCD kicks in and I can't stand that orange icons. :crying: but I will take it. BTW if anyone plans on wiping their phone it won't fix it. I just installed the Oreo beta with a complete wipe and didn't fix it.
Sorry been busy with work. I will try the dual message app and see if that works. I am using Nova Launcher on both my Note 8's weirdly enough it seems i get the messages on my Verizon variant but not my At&t one. Both have battery optimizer turned off. But thank you for all the feed back. I'll try dual messenger now.

Do you guys turn off notifications for the first app or leave them all on?

I contacted the customer service from France. They have no idea what's the problem. Their only suggestion is to go to a reparation center to explain the issue and try to find a solution...
