Both my wife and son recently received new SIII mini's and strangely enough both of them have the same problem, they are shutting down/switching off while charging overnight. Obviously this means that any alarms set won't work which has resulted in a missed lecture for my son. Have looked at all the settings I could find on the phones and none seem to relate to this issue. Any help out there??
Hi, I got the new Galaxy Gear for my brother. He has a SGS III with the latest official update (4.3) and the Gear App is on the phone, the gear is paired and it (almost) works.
That means - he can do calls (call/receive), he has weather there and stuff like that, you can configure the Gear from the phone, no problems. The Gear is, as far as I know, updated to the latest firmware version as well.
The problem is, no matter what we try, the Gear doesn't display any notifications from the phone. They are properly configured in the Gear App (even tried turning it off and on again). I also found a mention about the screen of the phone, that when off, the phone has to be locked at least with a swipe. I even configured a gesture for unlocking, just to be sure I understood the instruction correctly or in case the instruction meant that and said something else. I guess there was something else mentioned as well somewhere, I don't exactly remember what it was.
Anyway, all the instructions I've found looked mostly like applying black magic...
Of course, the next step could be factory reset of both the phone and the gear (well, the gear first, but I'd like to do FR of the phone as the last option as it is a pain in the ass in case you don't have the device rooted and backed-up completely).
So, here are my remarks/questions
I googled quite a lot about this issue (which is hard because Google returns a lot of irrelevant crap). Is there something obvious I could have missed?
Has anyone had encounter a similar issue? And resolved it?

hi,
first of all,
On watch do you have a section ...Notifications..? (if you swipe /scroll on your watch, from watchface ) ?
and what version of Gear manager ,(do yo have on phone ?)
and what version software do you have on watch ?
(eg ..i am currently on/using GM 1.5........( on phone ) ,and the software version of watch. V700XXUBML1 ( leaked software ROM......not rooted and have a Note 3 phone )
(No problems at all !! battery is excellent and i receive all my notifications .)
I know that in general GM (Gear manager) Version 1.6.....
( it is also some leaked Gear manager software, that is supposed to be used, if your phone software, is ugraded to Kitkat ) )
I noticed and also read on this forum , the notifications sections is missing completely ( in most cases )
This was also my experienced when I was using GM 1.6...!
otherwise ..suggestion ..
uninstall GManager( make a backup of apk before from /in your phones file explorer ..
i use es file xplorer to ussually do this ,saving me from re downloading apk again ?
or just download apk again and do another clean install from Samsung app stores )
when installing GM, don't restore setting/backups etc .. do clean install from scratch !
good luck
post note ,
your watch does not have to be set/ locked at all ,as long you have received notification on the phone and not read it !
eg..your phone is in sleep mode ,and your watch also ...connected bluetooth
it will then wake up watch and you will see the notification displaying on watch and after a few seconds it will disappear and to view again scroll on watch to notifications on watch and read from there if you want to. !
Make sure you have set up the notifications you want in Gear Manager.
Also your phone screen needs to be off, ie Lock Screen or Sleep
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini G800F yesterday using Odin method. It rooted without any problems & everything seemed fine. I switched off my phone overnight & this morning I turned it on & while it was loading up I left the room for about 10 mins, And I heard this what I thought was a passing Police car, then I come back to my room & you can imagine my shock when I realize it's coming from my phone! Funny thing was that I don't know where it came from,no indicators/notifs of where it was from or which app,I checked some apps but it was not any of them. There was nothing I could do to stop it,only turn down the volume. Then Thank God after a while it ceased.
Think has never happened before,only happening after I rooted yesterday. I know it don't seem bad as I make it but this is not OK! What on earth have I done to my beautiful phone?
Anyone have any ideas about this & what's going on? Could it be some virus or malware as a result of the root? I dunno please please help.
Hey, have you got any third party mail apps such as yahoo as it might be a notification problem. It sounds like an anti theft software was triggered but I'm sure it shouldn't have. Type *#0*# into your dialer and test the low frequencies if you have anymore problems. I have no idea why but I was told it helps.

Is there any new development for the Turn by Turn notifications for the Gear 1. I have been trying to install the DMA Navi but it is unsuccessful (it installs then un-installs itself). I was just curious if there was any other options. I have been away from Gear Development for about a year now but am back to wearing the watch and just curious to what is new. Is there anything else going on that has been developed for the Gear 1 in the last 6 months or so that I am missing out on? I have the latest Tizen 3.0 flashed currently.

Hi~
I'm having some trouble with the Galaxy Watch Active 2 with this phone. I haven't been getting notifications on the watch this whole day and the always on feature doesn't work anymore.
I didn't have these problems when i was on MIUI 12 before i flashed Elixir. And after i did, i set the correct settings for power saving and background optimization to my knowledge. I'm not really sure if this problem has to do with the phone or the ROM or my watch..
Maybe i'm missing something?
Thanks.
