Purchased my gear S last night everything was working fine. It stopped receiving notifications today for some reason - no emails, SMS, etc everything else seems to be working fine.
I am connected by Bluetooth. Tried factory reset twice and even cleared cache on phone.
Any other tips?

ok
After amost losing all hope, it workes, not quite sure what triggered it back on. I decided one thing i didmt try was uninatalling gear manager app amd reimstalling it, did that which in return force factory resets the gear as well (it didnt matter cuz i had manually some that 3 times by now) and then it randomly started working again.
I do feel sometimes it misses some notifications, even if you select the option to semd all notifications.
As for firmware version, no update is available for me neither!
Firmware ending in ANJ3
Very strange. Notifications now not getting pushed, only getting SMS ones. Have not cha ged any of the settings. What am I doing wrong
Same problem here

go under samsung gear manager click on your device (Gear S (xxxx) software update uncheck auto update click update now it should prompt you that it will download update it will rest your watch should not reset your phone
Why should the Gear manager ever want to reset your phone?

I posted the wrong thing I just left it up there. The update of the software for Gear S will restart your gear S (phone)

No problem. Restart of the phone is fine.
Decided to format my entire phone.. Long overdue anyway.. Once i connected to gear thia time it prompted with update available (prev saying no updates avail) and i can see now its changed tonNJ7 and its only been a few hours but seems to pick up all notifications so far with no problem... Not sure why only after fomatting the phone did it ever ive me the option to upgrade but glad it did..
I had the issue, but realised I still had Gmail intercepting email and the Samsung email app was not configured correctly to sync. It's a shame the watch only works properly with Samsung's email app. It's OK but very basic.
As for the SMS, it happpened only once, but I rebooted both the phone and watch and it all works OK. Once again I was using a 3rd party SMS app that I hadn't disabled properly.
The SMS app from Samsung is also basic but I like the fact you can reply to SMS on the watch, so I am sticking to it for now.
I just checked for updates and found there is an update and it did fix the notification bug

Notifications stop after bluetooth disconnects, even after recconnecting
I have a Gear S paired to a Note 4.
The Gear S stops receiving notifications whenever the Bluetooth connection between the devices is lost – even after the Bluetooth connection re-establishes itself, and despite the fact that the Gear S is set up to receive notifications via the internet. I can replicate this problem - so its definitely not a random issue.
I have tried the following, without success:
➢ Restarting the Gear S
➢ Resetting the Gear S
➢ Uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager app
➢ Checking for Gear S software updates.
The only thing that works (temporarily) is to restart the Note 4. But as soon as Bluetooth disconnects (for example, if I walk out of range of the Note 4) the notifications fail to work again.
My Gear S software version is R750XXU1ANJ4. Gear Manager indicates that there is no update available.
I've emailed Samsung, but haven't had any response yet.
Any advice would be appreciated. I love the Gear S - so not keen to return it.
Thx

Hello
I had the OG Droid and one of the reasons I bought the Droid RAZR was that it would PUSH sms messages to my car (2012 BMW X5).
But since the new SW update on the RAZR, this function stopped working. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a simple fix to this issue?
Thanks in advance,
dmoney98
Maybe it's 2012 BMW X5's fault. Is it running on latest firmware?

Thanks Zola,
That is a posibillity, but the function was working before the RAZR software update and has stoped after the update.
So i really do not think it is the cars's firmware, that is causing the problem, but I will check.
Thanks
dmoney98
the BMW software is up to date. So the problem still resides in the latest Phone software update.

Hello
It is not an "App" issue. The RAZR BT Profile "MAP", used to push sms messages to my car. After the RAZR SW update, this feature has stopped. I do not see a visible error. Is there a way for me to see an error, if one occurs?
Thanks

I tried a couple of things, not sure which worked.
1) Downloaded and ran an app call Bluetooth Fix Repair.
2) Rebooted phone, deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone. (do not think this fixed the issue.)
3) Later deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone after pairing car, went into Settings => Applications => Running Services and stopped the Bluetooth Dunning program.
4) deleted the phone from car and deleted car from phone, re-paired the car and phone.
5) i didnt get a chance to test until today and Ive got text messages in my BMW Office from this past week.
WOW !!!!! NOW WORKING !!!!!
Now a question, how to delete "text messages" from BMW Office?
Thanks,

With the new update on 11/07/2014 everything including GPS is working great with this rom. Great job done by lacoursiere18 in making this rom. However my new samsung gear live is not any more detected by the phone's bluetooth. But it does not have any problem in detecting and paring with my fitbit. When I rolled back to stock rooted 4.4.2 rom, gear live is paired immediately. Any thoughts on fixing this issue ?

Just throwing out a suggestion, bc I'm not sure if your watch does this or not -
I have DN3 installed on mine too, and have a Pebble myself. After reinstalling the Pebble app, I found that the watch was not wanting to pair up with the phone. I had to go into the watch itself and remove the previous pairing I had with the phone's old ROM for the Pebble app to pick it up again.
Does the Gear Live have something similar?

devious_z, thanks for the response. I do not see any configuration option to remove the BT pairing in my Samy Gear Live. Next time when I reinstall ND3, I will try to play with the reset option in my watch to see if that can resolve the problem of being detected by the phone.
This is a let down hopefully will be fixed...
Struggling to find any instructions on how I connect my Gear S to my Tab S 10.5
Doesn't pair with it, sees it as a Bluetooth device but wont connect....
Any clues please, cant really get much use from the watch until I can set it up the right way
Please help

After much prodding, Samsung admitted that neither of their tablets work with the Gear S officially. It's stupid, and the reason why I bought and am now returning my Tab.
Workarounds like the ones for non-Samsung devices are your only option.
All you can do is raise awareness on social media and hope they'll push updates to fix this.
you can't connect it with tablets as it will make you reset the watch over and over again. It is very annoying, I was going to connect it to my computer via bluetooth and use it as a microphone when i found out.
I was able to get 90% functionality by editing my build.prop on the Tab S. Of course this means you have to root the Tab S. I set the model to SM-N910A, which is an AT&T Note 4. I also had to change the characteristic to phone instead of tablet. Next I reset the Gear to factory and was able to pair it with Gear Manager. Email works perfectly and all apps seem to work. But, call forwarding and text do not work. I can use the Google SMS app if I add it to the notification in Gear manager but this does not provide for responding directly from the Gear S.
This is better than just Bluetooth connectivity and I am still working on how to get the remaining functions working. Also, I set the characteristic back to tablet after completely pairing to fix the force close when trying to get to the system settings menu on the Tab S. It doesn't seem to have any I'll effect of the Gear S but it is needed during the initial pairing with Gear Manager.

How did you get the build prop edits to stick after a reboot. What Specific Edits did you use.
ro.product.model=SM-N910A (stock is SM-T705) and ro.build.characteristics=phone (stock is tablet)
I used build prop editor from Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
You have to choose menu, edit then edit the lines above for the edits to survive a reboot. I also have call forwarding working after a call to AT&T. They reassigned my IMEI from my note 4 to this number and it started working.

It looked like it was work, it reformatted it then downloaded some stuff now it's stuck on connecting to gear.
Glad to hear it. Make sure you change the ro.build.characteristics back to tablet or you will have FCs opening settings.

After a couple of reboots and removing it from pair it finally finished the install
Yes, I saw that happen as well. Figured out to cancel the first Bluetooth request and try again.

stilll no hope , i can't even find the gear s in the gear manager apps... i'm using tab 3 7.0 so maybe different with tab S...
I don't know for sure what is going on for you, but it requires both build.prop edits mentioned, a reboot of the Tabs S after the edits and resetting the Gear S to factory. This is what it took for me. The model you input must be a Gear S supported device name.

I have a stock ATT Note 4 which finally received the M update (yay!) except it kinda broke my gear s (boo!) Watch is working, as far as a watch goes, and still connects via bluetooth. However, I am not getting even one single notification for ANYTHING. I have not changed any settings. The only thing I've tried was a factory reset, which did nothing excpet lose my pedometer steps for today. Any clue? I really, REALLY miss getting those notifications...which is my primary use for my beloved Gear S. Please help!

This issue was solved by doing a factory reset on my watch. Oddly, it didn't start working properly until a couple hours later, but it does now give me notifications again! I hope this helps someone else that may be having the same problem.
Hi all,
I've got myself Gear Fit 2 yesterday as an alternative it FitBit Blaze i got distatisfied with over time. One of the things I've looked forward to was controling Endomondo from my wrist when cycling on raini day.
So, I akready have Endomondo on my phone and use is daily, installed gear app and paired gear with it. After installing the Endomodo gear app, I tried pairing it to phone, but I always get to "Click accept on phone" step as I never get that dialog on. After some time, gear shows some kind of Bluetooth disconnected error and asks to try again.
Has anyone else had issues like this? Any suggestion?
Phone is Galaxy S6
Thanks in advance.
I just went thru the same problem this weekend. I fixed it by uninstalling Endomondo off my phone then reinstalling it and logging back in.
