I am no longer receiving text message or email notifications on my watch. It doesn't buzz/vibrate. When I check the cards, the messages are there, the watch just isn't vibrating to let me know. I've restarted the watch, and resynced applications, and then restarted the watch after I re-synced apps, still nada. I've tested sitting still at my desk, so it isn't that I'm not feeling the buzz, it just isn't buzzing. It is vibrating for phone calls though. Suggestions?

Instead of restarting watch, I would unpair watch (bluetooth) & then factory reset the watch
Thanks, I tried doing a factory reset twice now. But I didn't unpair it first. I did uninstall all my android wear apps, or a I thought I did... but after the factory reset, some of apps came back, a timer and stopwatch. But they don't have companion apps on the phone, so I'm not sure how to uninstall them. But, the problem persists. I did discover that, at least at this point, it is only when the phone is in vibrate or silent mode. If the phone is on regular mode, then I do get the text notifications. Once I put it on vibrate, thaen I stop getting the notifications.

OK, I figured out how to uninstall the apps, which I did, unpaired it, did a factory reset, started all over from scratch, to no avail. Still not getting text message notifications... actually, the text messages come through, just no vibration to alert me. Same with emails, I get the emails, but no vibration. Oddly, I do get my Gmail emails with vibration alert. But no vibration alert for the non-gmail emails. This is not a good thing.. one th the things I liked most about the watch was to know when text emails came through and quickly check if it was something that needed prompt attention.

Well, not sure what changed, but texts and mail vibrations are working again.. thankfully... the only thing I can think of on the texts was that I switched over to hangouts on my phone. That didn't work too well, but the vibration notifications were working, then I switched back to the built in application. But, at least its working..

Not exactly a solution that gets at the root of the problem, but have you tried a third party notification app? Something like Feel the Wear? I believe that overrides the default vibration settings completely. I say that because the app needs its own "quiet time" setting and/or manual mute from your phone. Simply muting the watch via the pulldown menu won't stop the vibrations from the app.
So if you're still having issues using your preferred apps and getting alerts, perhaps give that a try?
THanks for the suggestion, will check it out...
I have the same issue. Tried everything it will not give me alerts to email or text messages. Wish I could figure this out...
A couple of things to try, change your messaging to hangouts (or other app), and see if you start getting notifications. When I switched to hangouts, I started getting the text message alerts. Then, when I switched back to the default app on my phone, the alerts (vibrations) continued. I had also gone into settings on the phone, I think it was under sound-notifications ... there was something in there that had email notifications turned off. I hadn't touched those settings, so I don't know how it got changed, but I recall there was something that seemed incorrect. I don't know if that was part of the problem or not...

I had a similar problem with my watch but only with vibrating. I figured out my problem was that if your phone doesn't vibrate, your watch won't vibrate. It actually mirrors the vibrate including custom vibration.
I have just hit the same problem, any solution guys? I get phone call notifications but nothing else no email or text message notifications...
Same problem... I get cards but no vibration. New watch. Motor vibrates when powering on.
Whatsapp & SMS notifcations not working on Huawei Watch

Thanks.

Hi there,
just did a quick search in these forums an didn't find a similar problem or an answer, so here's my problem / question:
On my Desire (official FroYo, not rooted or anything like that) i've set up my e-mail account (not googlemail) in the stock e-mail-app.
It's the german e-mail-provider web.de, and as i'm a paying customer there i get full IMAP access. (but just to mention it, the problem still occurs when using POP3, but i'm using IMAP on my phone anyway ).
I've set up the phone to check for mails every 5 minutes, and in this case everything works just fine.
Usually it works this way:
I receive a new e-mail, it plays the notification sound and LED is blinking. fine so far.
I open the mail, notifications disappear. Just like it's meant to be.
Now the other case, where i'm not capable of instantly opening the newly received mail:
I receive a new e-mail, it plays the notification sound and LED is blinking. fine so far.
Now i don't open the mail / react to the notification, after five minutes, when the phone checks for new mails like set up in the options, it plays the notification sound again. And five minutes later, again. And again. And so on...
Just to mention: This happens if i don't receive any more new emails, just the one.
So, my phone thinks it has received a new email, even if it has already checked for exactly that mail and as a consequence, tries to notify me. Which gets really annoying, if e.g. i'm sleeping at night and it starts making noise every five minutes.
Just an example, i know i could turn it silent but there are situations where this isn't possible...
When i'm using the Desire as a GPS-Navigation device while driving in my car, it gets really annoying. Pulling down the notification bar, clicking on the notification, opening and closing the email just to mark it as read, so that it won't play the notification any more is quiet tricky while driving...
So, is there any fix to this, without disabling the general sound-notification for new emails? I'd just like to hear (or not hear, if i'm not near the device) the Sound ONCE. And only again, if i receive any NEW emails, but not every five minutes for the same one until i open it...
yes i get the repeat email alert if i don't look at it.
would like an option to disable or set a time like every hour?
also i have this prob with getting text message for every email but i can see the email in the text too!!
Note: my phone is usually in silent mode (only vibrates for all notifications).
When I am in a phone call and someone texts me, the phone is not vibrating to let me know I have received a text. My Evo did this, and it is a great way to be notified while in a phone call. Wish I could get this phone to do the same thing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on any settings, apps, mods, etc. to change this?

I had this same problem with other Samsung phones. My moment never notified me audibly while I was in-call, either, until I applied a ROM that took the SMS app from some US Cellular phone.
Try Go SMS, it has options for audible or vibrate notifications... It will even allow you to customize the vibrate pattern if you like.
Did you try setting vibrate to always?
Hello, Second day of ownership and I am already having an issue. The watch vibrates, I check it for a notification, nothing there. Awhile later, vibrates again, no notification. Sometimes there is a notification it got from the phone, but 90% of the time it seems to be vibrating for no reason.
I tried to wear it to bed last night but the incessant vibrations were annoying.
Even if it was vibrating when I got a notification,is there a way to tell it not to vibrate for certain hours?
Thanks

Check google fit settings. Mine use to do that but "fit" was buzzing me to get active and get moving. When I told it not to urge me to move the vibrations stopped. good luck?
I don't see Fit on the watch or on my phone? Is it hiding? I went into the watch settings and nothing there for fit? On the phone I have the Wellness app but the option to bug me to move is off so that shouldn't be it. It seems you are on the right track, but I don't know how to find the app?
Thanks

Did you try resetting the watch back to default?
Wellness, just like fit, has a "Remind me to move" feature that will send vibrations. Also, if you have it set to remind you when you forget your phone it will vibrate without any message when it loses connection.

My Zenwatch (v1) no longer vibrates when notifications pop up. I've tried restarting it but no luck. I'm running build LCA43.
The phone is an LG G4.
Any ideas??

Mine does this randomly and occasionally. There is no pattern, I can only assume that it is a hardware issue.
I've found a pattern - my gmail notifications don't vibrate, all others seem to. I had this problem before and switched to the stock email app which worked, then a gmail release fixed it. Looks like it's broken again.

I think I figured this out. My gmail notifications had quit vibrating, as well. The watch vibration for a notification is tied to the phone vibration setting for the same notification. If you go to the gmail app's settings, then tap on your gmail account name, you can set whether gmail notifications vibrate, and it affects both the phone and the watch.
Thanks, that seems to have worked.
Does anyone use Outlook? I have two irritating problems with it.
- Appointment notifications get pushed every minute for 15 minutes before the appointment
- Messages don't show up on the watch. I use Feel the Wear, and it sounds, but the message doesn't preview on the watch like all other messaging apps do.
Anyone know a solution to either of these issues?
Notifications are all enabled, not blocked. I've tried the Outlook Wear app, but it makes no difference.

I've had sort of the same issue without a solution. Sometimes I do get the notifications, sometimes I don't. Sometimes it comes before the phone notification, sometimes it takes ~10 seconds. This watch is insane, it used to work fine. My assumption is it's caused by the system updates in the past year.
