I'm running CM 6.1 Stable. I have two apps installed that I have configured to provide me with background notifications: reddit is fun and Foursquare. Reddit is supposed to check for new messages hourly and Foursquare us supposed to check for friend updates every 10 minutes. Neither app is functioning in this regard.
Has anyone else had an issue like this? Is there by chance some setting that prevents 3rd party background notifications from working that I may have enabled by accident? Gmail notifications are still working.
I checked my system log for errors or anything unusual while enabling or disabling the Foursquare notification feature and there was nothing that I could see.
Do apps need to have a service running to provide this sort if functionality, or can the Android system simply let apps schedule periodic tasks? I ask because I don't see any services running for these two apps, and if they are required, that would be a problem.
try moving it back to ur phone not ur sdcard......

I have had my moto 360 for about three days now. It updated and i can not get the new watch faces nor will it allow me to say "ok google show me my steps" because it will pull up a link on my watch and i press it and it opens on my phone. Nor will this work with the heart rate command. Im kind of pissed that i bought ab250 dollar watch that is messing up!
Try uninstalling Google Fit App on your Phone. When installed the Wear app do not works like before.

Same issue here.. worked fine yesterday. This is odd.
Same here. Will try suggestion from dersie.
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------
Uninstalling and reinstalling the fit app did not work.
I am able to do voice searches from my phone. Also, I was able to use my voice to send a text from my watch. Not sure what gives.
I'm having problems with the commands "start a run", "start a ride" or "start a workout" - it just does google searches instead of starting the assigned apps (Runkeeper and VimoFit).
It all seems related to the latest wear update from the party store as I was fine until that installed when I got back on WiFi this evening

Same here.
1. If I ask it "Show me my Steps" or "Show me my heat rate" it will take me to a search page vs. opening up google fit or the moto apps. On day 1, this did work.
2. If I ask it to "Start power amp" on my phone it opens the playstore vs. poweramp app. Other apps also do this, but not all of them.
3. If I say "settings" it takes me to a search page vs. opening settings.
4. If I say "Play music" it opens up Google music as it should.
5. Notes and reminders work.
Yep. Same here. Seems like a config issue...
I have the same problem as the first one you mentioned. The watch interprets the words and displays them on the face, so it got that much right. It seems like the definition of what to do has been removed. My guess is that there is a dictionary, hash map, registry or whatever that translates interpreted statements into Androidwear app actions. The entries for these two phrases have somehow been deleted or are unreadable.
App need: A tool to manage the actions taken by AndroidWear when a registered phrase is found. Typical CRUD operations. Maybe this app already exists?
Update: A few days after posting this, the device (dare I call it a watch) starting responding properly to the command. I'm sure something was updated but I don't recall seeing any notifications about an update (a little creepy if you ask me). Then a few days later an update to AndroidWear on my phone along with Google and Maps. No noticeable change in the device. Earlier I had noticed that the watch face would not display the date, even though I had configured it using Moto Connect. I reset the watch today and now the date is back and the commands continue to work almost flawlessly. All is good... for now.

You can try IFTTT. It's free and solved some of my issues until Motorola fixes this.

The same problem appeared on my watch today. Strange thing is that it was working fine this morning. I've not updated nor installed any new apps on either my phone or the watch.
I've seen others report the same issue but on the LG G Watch R so this seem to be a Google problem.
Reinstall fixed it for me
But didn't fix it for me on g watch r

I'm just curious, I have bluetooth turned off on my phone, yet I still get notifications coming through onto my SW3 from the likes of wear messenger, facebook, calendar times etc. This is on 5.1 as well so at first I thought it was just a wifi feature for the facebook things, but sms is throwing me as to how it's connecting.
All notifications will come through the same way as long as Bluetooth or WiFi are connected. Doesn't matter which.

If you've updated to 5.1 then this is expected. its a new feature.
As long as your phone is connected to the internet and your watch has EITHER bluetooth OR WIFI in range it will still get the updates.
You can disable this in the Wear companion app and/or on the watch if you want.
Hi all!
I do not recieve any Messages on my Huawei Watch (neither WhatsApp, nor SMS or Telegram) from my HTC One M7 (rooted). Calendar notifications and phone calls are working without any problems.
I realized that problem since i did a full wipe and reinstalled VipeOne 9.0 ROM.
This steps also did not help and i did a reset and new pairing multiple times without any success.
Could there be any settings which are set wrong?
How can i detect and solve this problem to get my notifications back?
Because i do not know if the problem is Android or Android Wear related or has something to do with the Huawei Watch or ViperOne ROM, i did a post in this Forum...
Thank you for helping in advance,
Florian
it could be related to this sort of thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-watch/general/bad-battery-life-read-factory-reset-t3474948
go to apkmirror.com and download the latest version of Google Play Services for your phone then double reboot phone and watch twice (could take a day for Google play services on watch AND phone to sync their versions)
since you wiped your rom I'd bet your version of Google Play Services is out of sync with what's on the watch (probably would fix itself after a week off trickling the updates)

Hi pablo71,
thank you for your answer.
I downloaded the newest Google Play Services apk from apkmirror.com, installed it and restartet Watch and Phone multiple times.
But after over 24h there is still the same problem...
What can i do? Reset the phone another time or sync Google Play Services manually or something else?

my apologies for late reply ... I don't know what could be done, but if your watch was rooted I'd say to install the app Advanced Settings, then open it ON THE WATCH and go to Apps > System > Google Play Services > CLEAR DATA ... THEN go to Android Wear on the phone and FORGET THE WATCH ... THEN Reboot the watch, open Advanced Settings on watch go to Bluetooth > check the Discovery Mode Box and RE-PAIR the watch with Android Wear .. when I have the problem 'that sounds like what you're describing' this procedure fixes it for me.
sorry you're having problems with your watch .. if it's because of data-cross-contamination between different versions of Google Play Services updates that is causing this then I hope Google takes some action and stops doing this ... non-functioning watches does NOT make people want to buy smartwatches

No Problem!
Today i unlocked my Watch and installed Advanced Settings. Then i deleted the data from Google Play Services and did a Reset and tried everything you described, but untill now no messages arrived on the watch... Could there be something else wrong or settings on my phone?
The Google Play Service Version on the phone and on the watch are nearly the same (10.0.84) but the number after the bracket are different (238-... on phone and 530-... on watch)...
Thank you, yes its very annoying having a Smartwatch which isn't recieving any messages ... hope it can be fixed, but because its only software related it should be viable.

wow that would drive me crazy .. all I can think of would be to try the earlier version of Android Wear on the phone you used to have ... apkmirror would have it .. wow good luck I hope it gets fixed
I tried to install an older version of Android Wear but it did not help.
So i don't know what to do anymore...
Solved!
I just got the solution for my problem!!
It was a very stupid mistake: Android Wear was not set as device administrator... There was even a notification on my Wear app,
but i didn't recognized it because normally there is a notification to activate locations and it looks exactly the same

How did you check to make sure that it was? I too am having a similar problem where my SMS notifications would sometimes take over 2 minutes to get to my watch.

Because all system related notifications arrived on my watch without any problems and all notifications of third party apps didn't, it could only be Phone related...
You have an other problem, because the SMS notification is system related.
Do you sync via cloud (wifi) or via Bluetooth?
Did you try to reset your watch or reinstall the wear app (and delete app data)?
^good to know!

I meant how did you check to see that Android Wear was set as device Admin? I looked in my device admin and did not see Android Wear in the list.
But I did do a reset of my watch and re-paired, and that seem to have fixed the notifications delayed.

Sorry it was not the device admin query, but the notification access query (Preferences -> Apps -> Settings -> something like "Special access" -> Notification access).
Good to hear, that your problem is also resolved!
Not resolved. Same problem. Notification would arrive much later than on phone, and even calls are now not going to my watch. I performed another watch factory reset again, but why am I having to keep doing this?
I have a Huawei watch with a Huawei Mate 9. I would expect both to work seamlessly together. I had no problems when my watch was synced with my Axon ZTE 7.
So this is what I believe is causing the problem. When the phone and watch gets out of range (walking away from my desk without my phone), for some reason the phone and watch does not ask to be paired. It looks as though they are both still connected. With my Axon 7, whenever both got out of range and wanted to connect again, I would get a notification asking if I wanted to pair the watch with my phone. I would then accept. In this case, with the Mate 9, I do not get that pairing notification and I believe that is why i do not get notifications to my watch after it has lost its connection. I had to manually unpair the watch from my phone, then pair it up again.
Any insights?

I do also have a Huawei Mate 9 and i dont have any problems... I did never get a re-pair notification (on my HTC One M7 also). It re-paired automatically when i was in range!

And your notifications come to your watch the same time it comes to your phone? Just to clarify, mine does automatically re-pair when it gets in range again, but I was thinking that maybe somehow it doesn't fully re-pair, which was the cause of my delayed/missed notifications? So I wanted to manually re-pair to make sure it did.
Still trying to figure out when my notifications sometime shows up, and sometime does not. Baffled.
The messages arrive about 1-2s later (i disabled vibration on my phone) and since i set Wear for special access everything works without problems, like before...
If i understand right, your notifications arrive after a couple of seconds or sometimes they do not arrive? Is there a coherence when they arrive and when not? (for example always when you re-pair it don't work and when it's constantly paired it works, but delayed?)
And are you syncing with Bluetooth or Wifi (cloud)?

I am going to keep monitoring and see if I notice any patterns to when I do receive notifications instantly, and when I do not. Yes, sometimes my notifications, i.e SMS, or my CNN notifications, I will hear that it arrive on my phone, but then look at my watch and do not see the notifications. Sometimes, it would eventually go on my watch a few minutes afterwards.
When I re-paired it, I did notice that my notifications appeared instantly. I did not try to walk away from my phone and come back to have it re-paired automatically. I can try that today and see what happens. I just turned on wi-fi sync yesterday. But would i still be getting text SMS through wi-fi?
When you say that you set Wear for special access, where about did you check that?
Yes, try to find out what commonly happens when it does not work...
I haven't been trying wifi sync but i think all notifications should work like using bluetooth.

Has any one had any success in getting notifications on their watch from Outlook or Teams running in a Work Profile? I'm on a Pixel 6 Pro with Android 13 T1B2.
Thanks
Andrew
I don't have those specific apps, but I have been getting gmail notifications from my work profile on the watch, whereas I am not getting them with the Galaxy Watch 4. I recall from months ago that it was not possible to get any work profile notifications on Wear OS (Galaxy Watch 4), so I was surprised when they just showed up on the Pixel Watch without any configuration on my part.

What version of Android do you have on your phone?
I have Android 13... oh and I saw the Pixel watch notification section has a list of all personal and work profile apps to enable/disable notifications for
For me at least, the new Android 13 beta update, T1B3, resolved the notification issue.
