I have read the threads here about BT connection problems, but this is something different:
My ZW2 suddenly stopped receiving notifications (email, weather, etc) AND sending data (UP steps, movement data) to my phone (Huawei mate 7, 5.1.1, stock, unrooted), while BT connection is just fine (on AndroidWear, watch), I can initiate, control phone calls from my watch.
Restarting watch/ phone, force stop AndroidWear/ Up, cleaning cache does not solve the issue. ZenWatch is uninstalled (no effect).
Any other ideas where the culprit is, and how to solve it? Pretty annoying a smartwatch just showing the time..

notifications DOESN'T WORK on 3rd party watch faces(not even the vibration) have you noticed that bug too?
EDIT: it seems no one notification is sent on the watch... WTF?
I'm getting notes from yahoo email just fine:good:Which face are you using?
Got notifications like I always did.
Using Specialized right now.
Check to see if you accidentally turned notifications off on the watch.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
Yup notifications for me no longer work at all ......
Maybe is related to whatsapp? When the watch is on a 3rd party watch faces like shadow clock, ustwo and it is locked on transflective screen mode, I didn't get the visual card notification on the screen. Erased the data and Chace and now 1st party watch faces works but the unofficial ones, didn't notify me with cards (now only vibration works). I received only whatsapp messages so, maybe it's whatsapp.
EDIT: not even Google now cards works.
So I unpaired ..reset watch completely and then notifications started happening ..Odd but I am back in business
Have you noticed disconnection/reconnection problems ?
If my SW3 it out of my phone's bluetooth aera, it's automatically disconnected.
When i'm back close to my phone, reconnection isn't always automatic.
Android Wear on my phone is in status "connecting".... but won't connect to the SW3.
I must go in Android Wear, choose disconnect... then connect.
Is there :
- a widget for Android showing the connexion status between SW3 and phone ?
- A widget for switching connection to easily disconnect/reconnect

Make sure your android wear app is up to date
Not find this issue so far. Notifications are always arrived at watch before I noticed them
I am having trouble only with notifications from Facebook Messenger, which do not work on any watchface.
All other notifications from Whatsapp, hangouts, gmail work anytime.
Was this issue fixed?
If I want to use my sony only over wifi I can see my watch on my phone as connected, I can see that the watch is connected, I can see battery, storage etc from the watch on the phone BUT I am not getting any alerts, notifications to my watch. cloudsync is on.
anyone else this issue.
thankful for help.
solved
problem solved with the new update of wear yesterday.
I've had a Smartwatch 3 for a couple years without any issues. The watch connects without me doing anything, and notifications come through at the same time as my phone.
I bought a Huawei Watch Tuesday, went through the two system updates, and then did not receive notifications. A factory reset fixed that for about 36 hours.
Since then, I've done about 10 factory resets, tweaking settings in the Wear app and on the watch each time. Sometimes, I could get the watch to receive notifications temporarily. That would stop after an hour or so. Pushing one of the sample notifications from the Wear app doesn't work, but most of the time I can change the watch face from the Wear app. Other weird things:
-Sometimes the Wear app will show nothing. Not even give me options to add a device.
-When I click "Calling Setup" on the watch, sometimes it will ask me to give Message+ (the Verizon messaging app) permission. Whether I accept or not, it will eventually tell me the watch isn't connected to the phone (even though the Wear app says it is).
Today, I exchanged the watch, and am having the same issues (and the grey circle where the charging icon appears won't go away). I really, really want to be able to use this watch, so any help would be very much appreciated. Here's a quick rundown of what I've tried so far:
-Cleared Wear app data and cache.
-Removed Smartwatch 3 and Huawei watch from app thinking it might be confused with 2 in there. Re-added the Smartwatch 3 independently after this, and it still worked.
-Checked permissions on phone and watch.
-Removed Google Play Music playlist, thinking syncing may have been bogging it down.
-Switched default text apps.
-Uninstalled Wear app.
-Tried different Watchmaker faces.
Watch and phone (LG G3 on Verizon) are running Marshmallow.
Can you think of any experiments before I give up?
Uninstall Wear and re-install. Then resync and pair the watch again.
Thats all I can think of.
As an update, I cleared cache in each app on my phone individually and uninstalled non-essential Wear apps. This has notifications flowing normally.
However, if I disconnect the phone/watch for any reason, it takes hours for notifications to start coming in again.
Any thoughts on how to trigger notifications after reconnecting? Toggling the connection and options in the Wear app doesn't help. I can't figure out what eventually allows notifications again.
Hi guys, I have problem with incoming notifications on my watch after the watch is not paired with my smartphone a few hours.
The watch don't receive incoming notifications, but the bluetooth connection is there.
After a factory reset my watch works good again.
I need help, please..

I think we're experiencing the same thing. I bet if you gave it a few hours, you would start to receive notifications. I wonder if this is an issue with the watch. Does anyone not experience this?

At night, when my smartphone is paired with watch, it's about 8 hours, I get a different notifications to my smartphone but to Huawei watch they don't come.
At morning I do a factory reset.
sleep mode for BT or wifi or...... ? battery optimized app on Marshmallow ?
Since nougat, I've had these BT issues.
1) BT will seemingly at random turn off
2) BT, while on, will disconnect from Android Wear
3) Related to 2, my Anymote Home (BT LE) will not connect
Is this happening to anyone else?
happen to me. i cant use my watch anymore.
random turn off ~ 10 times a day.
In my case, it looks like it is open, however the connection gets lost. I use it on my car BTW.
For a solution if I turn off and on the car nothing changes, if I turn off and on the Bluetooth, it is fixed. So, the problem is definitely on the phone side.
Mine has the same issue (random switch off, poor connection to my smartwatch). I would be very interested if someone knows how to fix it.
Thanks!
Update: now it randomly disconnects from my smartwatch (Huawei Watch) and needs to be reconnected manually.
I'm starting to hate this phone!
2nd update: did I tell you I bought this phone last week? Very disappointing...
Update #3: I marked Bluetooth server as an exception in battery optimization. Had no effect.
Update #4: Solved?
I did some research and I found that this isn't a Z5 Premium problem but a Nougat problem. I'm (somewhat) relieved.
During that research I found a possible solution: reset your network (settings>back-up & restore>reset network>reset settinigs). And (dare I say) it worked! I did the reset 24 hours ago and Bluetooth didn't shut down once! :good:
My issue seems to be different from others' as mine isn't just bluetooth losing its connection - it actually unpairs.
In my car (it has an Android Auto compatible infotainment system) it works fine for ages then fails to connect all of a sudden. Then after a while a message pops up on the car's screen saying "bluetooth pairing successful". The phone then asks me for contact sharing permissions. Of course it screws up the smart unlock feature as a result forcing me to set it up again.
On my Huawei watch 2 sport it loses connection and so the wear os app says the watch is disconnected. Bluetooth settings show the watch to be invisible and, as a result, smart unlock gets unconfigured and I have to set it up again. The watch battery discharges very quickly - probably constantly searching for the phone.
I reboot of both devices seems to fix it, for a while.
This is all since the Pie official update.
Does anyone have any fixes please?

No fixes but same problems here
I'm having the same issue also very frequently with WiFi dropping all the time. These two reasons are linked from what I been told. Google telling me to RMA. The pain of that
Mine has done this with my Gear S3 watch since I first got the phone a few months ago, it had me seriously considering returning it for a while. Sometimes it would just disconnect from the bluetooth, but often it would unpair causing me to have to go through the whole set up process again. It did this on Android O, various DP builds of P but so far (touch wood) has been good with the latest version of the Samsung software and Android P.
I'm having the same issues as well and currently searching for answers.
