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.
I just purchased the Smartwatch 3. I like the watch but have a problem. Not all of the wear apps are loading on the watch. For instance, I've downloaded Ghostracer, Runtastic and Endomondo and while they appear on my phone; they do not appear on the watch. However, other apps I have downloaded are on there and I can install new watch faces. Oddly enough Spotify and Skype are on the watch and I didn't attempt to put them on my watch. It seems to be hit or miss.
I sent an email to the manufacturer of one of the apps and they said it may be due to Google Play Services not being the most recent. I am currently on version 9.4.52.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem at the beginning of my adventure with SW3.
Google Play Services is too old.
Try force-updating it on your phone (use this link) or else just wait a couple hours, it should update itself both on phone and on the watch. Anyway AFAIK Android Wear app shows an information when Google Play Services are out of date but I'm not sure.
Or try force-syncing the apps in the watch settings in Android Wear app.
Or, as I've already told, just wait a couple of hours and make sure you have your watch paired and connected to the phone during that time
Or if nothing happens, try unpairing the watch. It will reset to the factory settings (you won't lose any data connected with the watch from your phone except the watch that was paired), pair the watch again and wait for the setup to complete, it will sync all the necessary apps with the phone.

Thanks for replying. You were right. I tapped on the version and it updated like 4 times during the night. When I woke all of the apps were on the watch.
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.

is it just me or when i try to reply from my watch on what'sapp it just gives me force close on my phone
i'm running wear 2.0 preview 4
any solutions ???
Hello
I have (sometimes) the same issue. It looks like long uptime isn't very good to the watch. Maybe it's an issue of AW2.0. But after I restarted the watch, I can reply to new messages.
BUT..... I noticed that there is no more history 1 month ago, I was able to see the full conversation after I get a new whatsapp message. Anyone else?
Whatsapp does not seem to have an app for android wear 2.0. Nothing in the store. Shocking when you consider the popularity of the app.
There is no app in the store, but Whatsapp works anyway! I can reply to messages with no problems (anymore).
But I cannot see the message history anymore. It looks like an issue of whatsapp. They changed the way for getting messages.
My watch is on Android Wear 2.0 DevPreview 5. Smartphone is on Android 7
So, I just today got the new Samsung Galaxy watch. I lost my Gear S3 Frontier so decided it was time for an upgrade to the latest Galaxy Watch.
I had it set up perfect on my frontier watch where I used Google Hangouts as both my phone dialer and text message program since that is what I was using on my cellphone anyway. I never used my actual dialer or texting program native on my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone.
My phone has not changed and I retrieved and updated my settings to my new Galaxy Gear phone. But something is amiss...
It was a few years ago but I *THINK* the way I made Google Hangouts messaging program and the Hangouts/Talk dialer work is there was an app by Google either in the Galaxy App store or Google play store and someone passed the messages to my watch.
Now I cant find it or remember the way I made it all work. When I call my Google Voice/Hangouts phone number from another phone I get a quick popup notification on my watch but it does not vibrate nor can I use quick reply or reply at all. I used to be able to do that on my Gear S3 Frontier. Also my watch does vibrate and fully functional on other programs like Facebook messenger.
Anyone know how I can get it to work again like that on my new Galaxy watch? Its a big deal breaker for me since that is my main number Google number!
It won't work because Hangouts is Google App and Samsung run Tizen.
You can reply to messages such as WhatsApp or IG but you can instigate.

Incorrect. I had it working perfectly find on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier watch. You are correct it is Tizen OS on watch but somehow I got it to work perfectly. I think they may have had the hangouts app in the Samsung app store but I dont see it there anymore.
Bottom line there is a way to do it because I have before and it worked perfect with notfication and vibration but I forgot exact how I did it and lost old watch now have the new latest Galaxy Watch.
So I get all other notifications on my new Galaxy watch with both visual popup on watch notifications and vibrations with the exception of the Google hangouts notifications they just show up my watch does not vibrate on those which is the most important thing to me which I am trying to figure out but my phone does vibrate on those alerts.
just wondering if there is an update, would be great to get Google Voice on the Galaxy Watch active 2
