Possible delayed text messages on phone - Samsung Gear Fit

I've been having a problem that I've noticed over the past few days that I originally attributes to the Kit Kat upgrade on my S4. However, downgrading to 4.3 has not fixed the problem. I've finally (I think) narrowed down the problem to this.
The problem has been that my incoming text messages have been "randomly" delayed by 1 to 8 hours recently. What seems to be happening through trial and elimination, is that the delays are occuring when my watch is turned off. That's the only common denominator I've been able to come up with.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I also noticed there was an update to Gear Fit Manager this morning. I'm wondering if that update might address this. I haven't been able to find any update notes.

Also, now that I think of it, I've had some voicemail notifications on my phone recently that never rang even though I had my phone on me. I'm wondering if this is the same issue now.. since voicemail notifications don't go to the watch.

[Q] What causes the Gmail app to leave outgoing messages stuck in the Outbox?

Hi, for years now (and on many different phones and Android OS versions), I've run into a reoccurring issue in the Gmail app: now and again, a batch of messages I've told the app to send will get stuck in the Outbox as "Sending" and won't ever send, even after I've rebooted the phone, cleared the cache, insured the phone is online, etc... This only seems to happen when there's some sort of an internet connection issue, but I haven't been able to figure out if it's associated with one particular thing: airplane mode, being out of connection range, having auto-sync or background data turned off, etc... Does anyone know what triggers this behavior? If it was caused by being in one particular state, I'd just avoid sending email while in that state.
Thanks, Alan
Ugh!!!! Was hoping the 4.2 update might have fixed this, but no luck. Has Google even acknowledged this issue yet? It's MADDENING!

[Q] Delayed Hangouts and call issues

Hi, for past few months I'm having issues with Hangouts app, as sometimes, messages (not SMS) are sent/received with very big delay (around 30 min or even more). And this applies both to WiFi/3G connection. Also, all other phones/tablets I have are not suffering from this at all, so, I think it's unlikely that this is internet connection issue. I've already tried reboots, clearing cache, and so on, but nothing seems to make any difference.
The second issue I'm having with this phone is, that sometimes when I call somebody, phone puts that call on speaker for itself.
Or is there some kind of preset for specific contact to automatically put that call on speaker? Because, I'm having this issue usually with only one person.
I thought about restoring to factory defaults, but first I wanted to ask if somebody has the same issue and possibly solution. Or maybe even flashing custom ROM, all I want is to get this finally working.
Thanks in advice

Push notifications do not work when screen is off!

Has anyone encountered this problem? After a few minutes of my screen being off, i do not receive ANY notifications for incoming messages (e.g. Hangouts, Whats App,...etc). As soon as I wake up the phone again, I am flooded with pending notifications (some of which are hours late)
The problem is not limited to my phone; as 2 of my other friends are facing the exact same issue on their units.
I am referring to the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue ?
[[Update]] seems this problem is with all lollipop phones. At least where I'm at. I can confirm that the M9, Nexus 5, and Nexus 6 all demonstrate the same behavior.
Bump! Problem still exists. Hoping for someone to shed some light

Anything installed? Like Greenify, or battery saving apps?
Nothing. Stock and straight of the box.
Do you have any battery saving options on?
None. Its has no power saving nor blocking mode activated.
yep. Just got my AT&T 64g edge. with screen off I get no notifications for Gmail, Hangouts, Text or mms. turn screen on and everything suddenly shows up. fresh out of the box, no powersavings or anything on..
I'm seeing the issue on my regular at&t s6. any solutions ?
You do not get the blinking LED notification? Or are you guys expecting an Ambient notification?
In some cases the notification arrives late or in some cases not at all. no LED notification, no sound notification .. nothing!
I'm not sure why this hasn't bubbled up yet .. its quite a serious problem. My old s4 on 4.4.2 handles push notifications like a champ.
Sadly it this issue did bubble up earlyier as this thread was started on the 2nd... about half the time if my screen has been off for a bit I get nothing, and then when I wake it up I get multiple email, text and google hangouts notifications...

Same problem for me -push notifications work intermittently under lollipop - had same problem with my moto x 2014 and now has started with the edge.
I didn't have this issue with my M8, I have it with the S6E though..
Have same problem here. Sometimes works with no issues, sometimes get 4 notifications once the screen is turned on.
Started noticing this as well. Turn my screen on and I will get notifications from email, whatsapp, groupme and a few other apps.
turn off wi-fi
this happens to me on my s6 edge (t-mobile variant) when I have wifi on and am connected to a wifi network.
turn off wifi --> perfect notification behavior
I assume this is a software issue and not a hardware one. I guess Sammy needs to push a fix for this.
I have the same problem, i have been pulling my hair looking for a fix. Brand new s6 edge att model here doing the same thing.
The only solution is to use other email apps other than gmail and it works fine. I'm certain it is a software bug however my wife has an S4 with lolipop and no issues so I'm concerned a bit but now that I have seen this thread it is clear I'm not the only one.
The issue on my phone resolved itself. No firmware updates or anything. Go figure

No notifications in deep sleep

Hi all,
I am still on stock ROM (unmodified and unrooted) G925FXXU2QOH8.
I have noticed, that WhatsApp messages quite often come through exactly when I turn my phone on via the home button. So when I wake my phone. Coincidence? Unlikely
And yesterday someone tried to call me three times and I neither got the call nor a notification of the missed call until I woke my phone.
Does anybody know what is causing this? Seems like WiFi and mobile are effected. Somehow the phone does not seem to wake properly when it receives a message etc.
Hope someone can help me out

Connection issue

I just got my watch day before yesterday, but I have had to factory reset it 4 times due to this horrible bug. After a few hours, I would stop receiving notifications, and the weather and phone battery meters would show old or no data at all. I can still sort of change watch faces, but would the watch would just show a loading message. Google works along with a few other apps too. Anyone else dealing with this? Is there a fix or should I get a replacement?
Edit: There is apparently another thread already with this as the talking point here, therefore making this thread redundant. I would be pleased if this could be locked. Thanks.
