Is the watch supposed to 'notify'? - Asus ZenWatch 3

I was wondering if the watch was supposed to notify via vibration or sound. I get neither. Of course, if it did, I might find I want to turn it off.
I'm assuming not, but thought I'd check.

Yes it should notify you of notifications.
I regularly get buzzed from hangouts and inbox by gmail notifications. Perhaps you you didn't give all the permissions to android wear and asus zenwatch manager?

Try "Feel the wear" to personalize sound and vibe

Make sure you don't have any setup notifications left by swiping up on the watchface. Mine didn't provide notifications until all the setup notifications were done.

Pre-Purchase questions

Hi, before I buy one wanted to find out three things if someone could assist.
-With voice commands and driving, is it true I still need to press an on screen button to send a message to someone via SMS
-With voice commands, can you schedule an appointment with a synced calendar other than Googles. I sync to an exchange calendar and when I played with google now a while back, it only created appointments via voice to the google calendar.
-with active notifications, what happens if you have three notifications? Does it also always show the screen when you take it out of your pocket. Hoping that it does?
thanks all
Voice commands will work similar to how they have on other Google NOW capable devices. So yes, you still need to press "Send message" to send it. As for the exchange stuff. If you could do it on another device, you can do it on this one.
Active notifications will show what you tell them to show. There are settings that allow you to choose what apps display. As the active notifications use the proximity sensor to decide when to display, it will indeed show whenever it's removed from your pocket. If you have multiple notifications, dragging your active lock upward will bring you to the app that produced the most recent notification.
Is that about as clear as mud? I suck at explaining things. Lmk if you need any clarification.
Thanks, just curious on two parts. If you have multiple notifications, the only icon you see is the most recent. The only way to know the others is by swiping the status bar I assume?
If you have no notifications, I assume the screen will not turn on, is that correct?
thanks

If you have no notifications the phone will show you the time when you pick it up or pull it from out of your pocket.

If you have multiple ones the others (older) show up at the bottom of the active display.

Gear 2 neo functionality review (Note 3 att)

A quick run down of what works and what doesn't.
1. Can send and receive calls via the watch. (then I changed my ringtone to "Knightrider")
2. Can send, receive, and reply to SMS via watch, send by using premade templates or Svoice typing (although not easy to switch between the two on the fly)
3. Can receive most notifications from APPS when selected
-cannot receive TASK notifications from calendar for some odd reason, so if i set up a task like "remind me in 5 minutes to brush my teeth" i get no reminder on the watch, but i do on the phone. This really makes me mad.
4. Can create appointments in calendar, but cannot set an appointment reminder. Note 3 has no default reminder setting, so if i use S voice on the watch to set a calender appointment, i will not get a reminder about it. This really makes me mad.
5. Cannot use Svoice to launch navigator from watch, but can from phone. This really makes me mad.
6. Can set an alarm using Svoice from watch, but cannot name the alarm. This makes me mad seeing as options 3 and 4 arent working either!!
-conclusion, no way for me to talk to watch and be reminded by watch and phone
7. went from 100% battery to 40% battery in 21 hours with heavy use. (3 phone calls, constant fiddling, media remote, tv remote, Sleep app, lots of testing)
8. Can control playback of currently selected playlist on phone via Media remote, with forward and backward skipping. Cannot select music on phone in any manner. This makes me mad too!
9. Watch on works great for controlling basic TV functions. There is no guides of any sort on watch for programs.
That should answer some of the questions that i had initially before my purchase but could not find. If anyone has any questions about functions ask and i will provide what i can.
10. When two notifications come in at the same time there is no way to view both without going to notifications app.
11. Cannot reply to email notifications
12. there is no Auto brightness setting, you must manage this manually
13. Svoice will not "Read the news" due to this function is not available
14. Dismissing a notification on the watch also dismisses the notification on the phone
15. deleting a notification on the watch does not delete it from the phone
16.You cannot set a "Location" reminder from Svoice on the watch, only a standard task reminder.
17. The wrist gesture is not very strict. My screen goes on unintentionally all the time. The minimum screen timeout is 10 seconds.
4. FIX - To make calendar reminders default to a value, you need to remove "My Calendar" and "Samsung Calendar" from the calendar app, instead only use Google calendar, when you use svoice to make an event, the google calendar will automatically add your predefined reminder.

This was a great run down! :good::good:
--especially since I was waiting to get my Neo, which finally arrived yesterday.
Question --where is the sleep app?
I hunted high and low and can't find it. (Either I am going blind or I need to do something to get it! I thought I saw somewhere in these XDA threads where someone had to download an update to enable or get sleep app, but I have the latest gear manager (updated yesterday when I setup the Neo).
My NEO software version is ANCD, (that is the only thing I am thinking could be the issue!)
Thank's in advance for any assistance
EDIT: SLEEP.APK OK I had to manually update the Neo's rom via Kies3 (after DL/Installing Kies3, plugged in the Neo and Kies discovered a software update. I went from Neo Rom NCD to ND8.) After the update, I had the Sleep app in apps!

Missing notifications

I am running EX Kernel, Magisk, Edexposed, and Blackenedmod. I used to have all notifications come just fine to my phone and my smartwatch. Recently I stopped receiving certain notifications.
For example Snapchat no longer sends me a notification if someone is typing or if a message has been sent to me. I notice I have to open Snapchat before it pulls a chat update request from their server. Also, I have games that notify me about stuff every few hours/daily reset, but I no longer get those notifications either for those games.
Could I have done something to my phone where some apps give me notifications but others don't? I checked settings and no notifications are disabled. Wear OS is also set to disable notifications on my phone while I'm wearing the watch but I had that setting on before and got notifications just fine. Any ideas for me?
Edit: fixed Snapchat by reinstalling it. But reinstalling my game won't give me the passive notifications.

Need help for email notification

Hi,
I use a work profil from my company on my note 10+
The phone is most of the time silent because I use a Fossil Gen.5 for notification.
The only problem is, that I can not choose the Email App from the working profile. Email+ is still not there to choose (no apps from working profile were show)
So I would like to make with Tasker a notification - to show this notification on the watch. Tasker has the same problem, it didn't find Email+ in the Apps.
So I must make something other to push the notification. But what?
I don't know how the profil must look like. In the Screenshot is the notification from Email+
Kind regards, Sascha

Question text messages

i'm ok with being an idiot, but i can't seem to figure out how to get my incoming texts to give me a buzz on either the phone or samsung watch.
allow all notifications
they're all allowed, google messages thing. i might have to reinstall i guess. i see the notification on my screen and watch, but definitely don't get a buzz or a blip sound
oh, maybe because i have messages for web syncd and open
nope
Do you get other notification sounds?
yes, i'd hate reinstall it....but it might be about that time
Do you use the default Google message app?
Did you set a custom notification sound for text messages?
solved
