Hi all
Had my watch nearly a year and every now and then the mute phone alerts and call feature stops working. I usually have to factory reset watch and delete android wear app on phone to fix the problem. However this time even thats not working?
I am running nexus 5 on marshmallow and had marshmallow a week and today its only just decided half way through day to stop working and all of a sudden my phone is sounding alerts.
anyone know a way to fix this?

So I set my nexus to force all notifications to my watch and it works all day but for some reason at night they come to my phone and it rings even though the feature is still turned on.
Maybe because my watch is charging? Any idea how to fix this?
Hi all
Have had my watch since xmas and its been fine, however today i noticed that it randomly stopped getting all notifications. I looked at phone today and 2 whatsapp messages and 1 sms were on phone but not watch!
I have a nexus 5
the only thing different today was i started using a watchmaker face for the first time instead of stock, cold this have anything to do with it?? I have gone back to stock now and they seem to be working again? However when i first changed this morning to the watchmaker face i was getting notifications ok to start with.
Any help would be appreciated
Just been in touch with watchmaker and they aware of the issue and investigating !
I bought the Watch R a week or so ago and I've been trying to work out why the Google Now notifications are so unreliable.
At first, I thought it was just me - I never really embraced Google Now and actually had it turned off on my phone (Galaxy S6 Edge). A few days ago I turned it on, configured it and was expecting to see the odd card popup on my watch every now and then but I've had zip.
So, I thought I'd test the notifications on the watch, from the Android Wear app, but the only notification that works all the time is the phone call. Most of the other notifications just don't pop up on screen and the only way I see them is to swipe the face from above and then they're there. Is this normal behaviour? I thought that notifications were supposed to popup on the screen, like on my phone!
I've reset the phone a couple of times in desparation but it's made no difference. I've unpaired the watch from the phone and re-paired it after forgetting the device. No difference. Removed all the custom watch faces and used only the once that came with the watch and once again, no difference.
I do get notified of text messages and emails with no problem, but nothing from Google Now.
Can anyone please suggest anything?
I have the s6 and I don't receive any notifications except the test phone call. I believe it to be a samsung problem with it killing the wear app from running in the background. watch worked fine with my other phones.
It's ridiculous, my s6 / gwr doing the same thing. Reboot both and things work for a little while, then gradually peters away to nothing. Except for sometimes I'll tap the watch for the time, and some random google now cards will be there, which I dismissed days before! Swipe them away but the same few keep coming back! As for the weather reports, well they've not worked for over a month now. And all this without me touching any settings whatsoever. I've exempted the android wear app from battery optimisation in the s6 too, incase they were that dense they'd overlooked that core app, but doesn't seem to have sorted it. Seems every time these companies update stuff they break it, and don't care about fixing it.!
Hi.
Two weeks ago I got my LG Watch Urbane. I use it with my (unrooted) Sony Xperia Z3 (Android 5.1.1). Almost everything works fine.
However, I have a problem with incoming phone calls. The LG Watch urbane needs 2-3 seconds after my phone indicated the incoming call. If I accept the call on the phone (not via the watch), the watch keeps vibrating for a long time. Sometimes, when I have a short call, the watch vibrates even though I already hung up.
This issue occurs not only when the phone is locked and the stamina mode is running (Android Wear is in the exception list), but also when the screen is unlocked and the phone is "active".
Android Wear and Smartwatch are updated to the latest version. Reboot and reconnect doesn't have any positive effect.
Can anybody help me please?
Thank you!
Maik
Edit:
Sometimes the watch stops vibrating immediately when I answer the call during while working with the phone (=unlocked). Unfortunately not always...

Unfortunately I can't help but I can confirm that it's not just your watch. I've had my Urbane for a while but it just started doing the same thing you've described within the past couple of weeks. It's very annoying and I never had this problem before.
Thanks for your reply.
Did you find a solution for this issue meanwhile?
It is really annoying... :crying:
Hi all,
So I recently received a replacement S6 (because of a camera vibrating issue). Thankfully that issue is fixed, but what I've come to realize is that whenever I listen to podcasts, my phone would randomly rewind or fast-forward what I am currently listening to on its own. It took me a day to realize I wasn't crazy.
For example:
While listening to a podcast using Podcast Addict or PodBean, audio would randomly repeat the last 5 seconds, or skip forwards 5 seconds. I tried multiple stations, apps, and even kept the screen on to watch for it to happen. I thought it could possibly be my phone inputting commands on its own, so I watched and noticed Podbean only has a R/FF option for 30 seconds, yet it still does it in shorter increments.
Questions:
1. Has anyone experienced this before?
2. Is there any way to for the device to trigger a toast when a command is issued?
3. Would a keylogger work to find out what's happening? (I don't know..)
4. Should I get another device? Maybe this is why my current device was returned?
Currently on:
Galaxy S6 Replacement Device
Stock S6 MM 6.0.1
Having same issue.
I am having the same issue I started to notice it right after I updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1. Im using Pocket Casts as my podcast app. I have not found any fixes, I thought I was the only one with this kind of issue
