No notifications and "Unfortunately Zenwatch manager has stopped"

After a phone reboot this morning I was unable to reconnect my Galaxy S4 (running Lollipop) to my Zenwatch. I tried rebooting both the watch and the phone but no luck, so eventually had to factory reset the watch. Now the Android Wear app says it's connected to the watch (I can check the battery level of the watch), but notifications aren't working. When I use the "Try out watch notifications" option in the Android Wear app I get nothing on the watch.
I also find that when I try to select certain watch faces (e.g. Explorer) it fails with a message which says "Unfortunately Zenwatch manager has stopped". I've uninstalled and re-installed the Zenwatch Manager app, but during the installation process it created a notification saying "Android Wear seems to have a problem in pushi..." (that's all I can see of the message). After rebooting the phone and launching the Zenwatch Manager app again it now tells me that Android Wear is still pushing the Zenwatch Manager config to the watch (some 30 minutes after I re-installed Zenwatch Manager on the phone).
All in all it's a bit of a bloody mess. Can anyone suggest a clean start procedure that will get me back up and running?

I would start with a factory reset of the watch and uninstalling/reinstalling Zenwatch Manager.

As per my OP - that's actually what I did (factory reset watch, then reinstalled Zenwatch Manager)
???

Doh, I meant Android Wear.

Re:
Any updates?

Hi,
I had almost the same thing. For some reason the notifications on my zenwatch 1 weren't showing on the watch. It always worked but for some reason the last week orso i had that trouble.
Seems there is a setting in your phone that, i presume, got disabled after the update to the new zenwatch manager.
My phone is dutch so maybe the translation is not completly correct, it's also depending on your Rom ( Note4 here)
Look for sounds and notifications and the option notification access. If you click it i had two programs in the list, Wear and Zenwatch manager. Only the Wear was enabled.
Enabled Zenwatch manager and the notification where back .. yeah

Android 6.0 issues

Ever since I installed Marshmallow on my phone I don't get notifications on my watch. They both say they're connected and my notifications are turned on in the wear app and in sound and notifications in my phone settings. Even when I try to push a fake notification it doesn't work. My watch is running 5.1.1 and my wear app is 1.3.0.2166028. I also have gotten a message on my watch saying there is no Google play installed on my phone but it is. If anybody can help I would appreciate it.

i had an issue at first with mine. what i did was uninstall android wear and unpair with the phone. then, wipe the watch. do a full factory reset. (charge it above 80 percent or itll complain on first boot) then after you get the watch to the screen of pairing install android wear and pair. after this wait for everything to finish. remember the watch does everything over bluetooth at this point so give it some time to sync.
after that it should work. you can test it then inside the app. took me a couple of resets to get my watch working perfectly.

SW3 doesn't display notifications

Hi,
about 2 day ago my SW3 stopped displaying notificaions like Facebook Messenger, SMS (stock application), calls. I tried reinstalling everything - factory reset, reinstalling Android Wear application etc. It helped for some time but after few hours it stopped displaying notifications again.
Google Now works, Coffee (SMS) works but stock SMS or calls or Messenger aren't display on my wrist.
I'm not 100% sure (I tried new ROM) but I believe that I wasn't changed anything. Android Wear application was upgraded twice and it's name was changed, could it be the reason?
I haven't install any new application.
Aby idea?
Thanks.
P.S. I have Samsung S6 with custom ROM. SW3 is on stock.

Are the notifications displaying on the phone in the Notification bar?? If not, then it's a problem with the phone and the ROM. New ROM may be blocking notifications. I have Notification Manager in my Settings which allows me to change notifications. The watch will only display notifications that appear on the phone.

Did you make sure to enable Notification Access in the phone's settings?

The designer can disable notifications in the watchface, could that be it?

I could see the notification in the bar and everything was enabled.
Now, although I didn't made any change it started working again well. I don't understand...
Thanks for trying to help.

Guessing its the rom

It sounds similar to the problems I am experiencing. Everything works fine for a few hours after a factory reset, but then I am stuck with no notifications from Gmail, Hangouts stops syncing new messages, no remote controls for Play Music, etc. There is still connection with the phone... Find My Phone still works, Ghostracer still syncs my runs (eventually).
I've tried several factory resets and still it happens every time. The watch was working great until a few weeks ago, very frustrating.

I have exactly the same problems as above.
Smartwatch 3 and Note 4 - both stock. They work for a few hours together after a reboot and then the notifications stop appearing on the phone.
I turn off notifications to android wear and turn it back on again and its ok for a little while and then stops working again.
Anyone got any ideas?

A bit of an update to this. I've now managed to get mine back up and running reasonably well - to the point its been running ok for 2 days. Previously it would only be an hour or two until it stopped sending notifications to the watch.
I deleted the Android Wear App
I performed a factory reset on the watch
Re-install android wear.
Pair watch
It then went through and installed all my apps and since then has worked fine.

I've figured it out. It was caused by restoring nandroid backup in TWRP.
Solution: go to the application manager on the phone, all applications. Find Google services and delete all data including wear storage.
The watch will be forgotted and you have to pair it again but everything should work well.

I was just about to reply to this again as although above I said it was working fine I managed to get it to break again.
The only difference was that I had changed to a non sony watchface.
As soon as i started using a 3rd party one i was getting the same problems again
I've been back on a builtin watchface for a while and its been working fine.
I've just swapped back to a 3rd party one to see how long it works for.

Notifications don't show up on my watch

I'm using Samsung Galaxy S6 paired with Huwei watch. The notifications for all apps (messenger, whatsapp, inbox, etc.) do not show up on the watch. Only calls show up on the watch. The voice command (ok google) works also fine. So the connection is good and stable. None of the apps are blocked. If I do factory reset everything works fine, but only for a couple of days. Then I have the same problem again. Does somebody know what is going wrong and what I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Do you have an app installed, that interferes with notifications, e.g. "Do not disturb"-apps, that enable and disable notifications under certain conditions?
This behavior is not a common problem (at least none of which I've heard of or experiencing myself), so I assume it has something to do with configuration/apps on your phone.
Another thought: Maybe you are using an app that causes a problem with the notification system on the watch (e.g. due to a software bug). So maybe this app somehow breaks the notification queue after it is received by the watch.
Maybe this app will notify only every couple of days and after it does you're not signaled any further notifications.
So just think of the apps you have installed. Which apps are not very common and do not notify every day? Block the notification to the watch of this app(s) and see if the problem still occurs.

I am using only the build in "do not disturb" function at night. Other than that no apps have a do not disturb function enabled. I will try to block various apps as you proposed. I'll start with clean master. There is a function on Samsung Galaxy S6 that allows to switch on notification access for various apps. It was off for huawei wear but on for andorid wear. Although I'm not using huawei wear this might have caused the problem. I have switched it on! Let's see if it helps! Thanks!

I can switch back to my S6 if you cant find out. Just post and let me know. I havent used it in a while.

Thanks guys, but I figured it out. Allowing huawei wear to access the notifications solved the issue!

How did you do? I mean how can I allow Huawei Wear to access notifications?
Thank you, I have the same problem...

You have to allow the Notification from the phone. I think it varies depending on your Android version. For me it's Settings- Notifications- Notification Access- then allow whatever you want to get i.e. Android Wear, Huawei Wear, etc.

Notification and Connection Issues; Smartwatch 3 Works Fine

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.

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?
