If you get a response that you have no contacts than your watch is not completely connected to your phone. That is try saying to S-Voice (once activated) 'Send a Text'. Make sure that from S-Voice you can reach your contacts. last Make sure Limit Notifications is turned off.Īnother thing. That the notification on the watch is also turned on.

that it is checked in the Manage Notifications section of Gear App. make sure notifications is turned on in the App you want to notify you (Gmail, Message+ etc) and 2. This differs from Android Wear and can be confusing to some. Once I turned that off all my notification started being sent to my watch. As a result none of my apps that I selected under 'Manage Notifications' were coming through. One thing I was doing wrong was when I first got the watch I misread the 2nd item in the notifications section 'Limit Notifications' and had that turn on. I get all my notifications include from Google Now. you may need to restart the Notification service by going into both the watch and gear app. I also noticed that in the settings menu on the Gear itself (not the app) under sound then vibration, I cannot turn on vibrate for incoming calls or vibrate for incoming notifications. I should mention that I'm connected to a Galaxy S7 and my Gear is a 3G version (I have not activated it). To be clear, I have the watch set to vibrate and I have 3 notifications selected in my settings (email (stock), Message+, and Facebook).

Well, I'm still not receiving any notifications and I'm a little frustrated. In the email they sent to me, it indicated that the problem was because the software was not updated (which I had already checked) but on the paperwork in the box itself, it said that they could not find anything wrong. They had me send the watch in for be checked and I just received it back. I contacted Samsung support and spent 2 hours trying to troubleshoot with no success. I've tried resetting the watch and uninstalling the Gear app and reinstalling. I received my free Gear S2 from the promotion with the Galaxy S7 pre-order and right from the start, I had issues with receiving notifications.
