Hi!
I have a few very annoying problems I want to get rid of.
The first is that all sorts of push notifications are often (if not always) very delayed. For example, when someone's played Wordfeud and it's my turn it can take up to 20 minutes before the phone alerts me. Same thing with Whatsapp and other apps. I did a factory reset recently and the problem seemed solved but after just a few hours the delays began to appear again. Both with 3G and Wi Fi.
It is the same thing with the built in FB-chat. Sometimes messages are also delayed for up to an hour. Occationally when I enter the Message hub and swipes to Online tab the messages arrives but it's rare. It could at first appear as work when two or maximum three messages arrives but then the conversation just dies and I must go to the Facebook app to view and continue the chat. Also after the factory reset it worked somewhat fine but just like with Push notifications it didn't work long enough... Same here, both over 3G and Wi Fi.
Does anyone have a single clue of what the issue is here?
Is the phone checking for new notifications in a certain pattern, like every 30 minutes?
I'm not completely sure if this is the right forum for this but I'm beginning to be kind of desperate. Notifications on iOS and Android works like a charm and I don't think the Lumia with WP should be behind in this matter.
Extremly thankful for answers.

its not a problem of software, its a wanted feature of microsoft, wp7 doesnt have any multitastking, so if you turn of wifi and whatsapp is running, wifi is turned off for some minutes and if you turn on screen, wifi connects and whatsapp gets your messages, thats what i realized..
next phone wont be wp. :/ nice OS but the little things like this are annoying

Thanks for the reply!
But that's the strange thing, even if i don't turn off the screen and keep the phone "awake" there are no toast. The push notifications were instant for a few hours after the factory reset so there must be something that is "blocking" push messages. Same thing with the fb-chat. The chat should also work without problems even when the screen is turned off.
Me too are also considering walking out of Microsoft on this one. The OS is very beautiful and everything is so thought through but they still have som work to do.
Yes, background agents run every 30 minutes
thats why i wont buy a wp phone anymore. its really annoying and not SMARTphone like!
But shouldn't push messages be pushed through nearly instant?
it should be popup in the second it arrives
Exactly. Even if the screen is unlocked and wifi 3G is connected and all that it still is a delay.
The problem seem to have solved itself! I don't know what I've done but one morning I woke up and everything worked smoothly. Let's hope the issue doesn't return!
Data connection should be enabled for Push notifications to work. Maybe you went above your data cap or sometimes the 3G reception got lost.
Also, are you sure that app uses Push notifications and not regular Toasts sent by a background agent ?
I've only had my watch 16 hours or so (7 of which I was asleep), and I like it, and plan to develop apps for it..... but I have the following issues:
Updated (9 Jul)
Take a note voice command just sends me an email, instead of using something like Google Keep
The screen dims for a second before screen turns off (or goes to clock) - if I do OK Google during this time it ignores it
Set a Timer voice command does not work - options set an alarm menu
No music controls when I use default music player, or RocketPlayer Solved my Wear Music Controller
When doing a voice search, it often says Disconnected. 6 times so far, one time I had to restart watch before it could reconnect.
Dictating a longish email will eventually fail, even though it recognized loads of the words.
Step count often not updated on homescreen widget, despite it showing a higher number in the actual watch app
Dismissing a google now card (weather for example), you can't get it back if you did it by mistake
Navigation started from watch sits on Calulating route... if music playing on phone with screen locked.
Screen stays on while charging (reported by dunjamon) Solved by Slumber
I have it paired with HTC One S with Liberty S4 MAX custom ROM.
Anyone else have these issues (what device do you have it paired with)? Or know how to fix/work around them?
I have 4 and 7 8 D:
Number 1 confused me for a while. I searched everything on my phone before I realised that it had just emailed me. With number 7, I've turned off the step count...yet it still tells me my total of 0.
Also, is with the screen always on settings set to no, when you put it on charge the screen stays on. It's a nightmare at night, I have to turn it off and then boot it back up in the morning. There needs to be some kind of sleep mode or setting to allow the screen to be off while charging.
I've had 3 and 5
5 is a bit annoying. I'm hoping a restart means it won't recur as I go thru the day...

I didn't know about these developer options: Tapping build version several times works, same as a phone. The "Stay awake when charging" option is disabled by default however. I've only recently enabled the "always keep screen on" mode, so will be interesting to see what happens when charging tonight...
Regarding 1) It has started working! I installed Evernote for Android Wear from play store, also Baby Time and Draw Watch. I also resycn'ed all apps using the option in the Android Wear companion app.
Next time I did "take a note", it asked if I wanted to complete Action using Keep or Evernote, so I chose Keep. I also can see Keep in the list of apps on watch (before it wasn't there). The note was stored in Keep. Still works after uninstalling Evernote.
Regarding 4) I installed Music (Remix) Trial from play store, and Pause, Prev, Next actions are now on my watch. Unfortunately, the buttons do nothing. Not sure if this is an issue with my particular phone or what... Anyone else tried this app?

I've already disabled the stay awake while charging option. Unless it needs to be activated and then the watch itself to be set to not be always on. Will have another play tonight.
I've also noticed Keep show up in the apps now after another update. Will test out another note and see where it goes.
Got none of these problems with my watch. Fix for 8: If eg you swiped away the weather just say "ok google, what's the weather". after it told you the card should be back. this works for me, also with others like world clock, steps etc.
Just tried the screen off while charging and it doesn't work. The only way I can get the screen to turn off is to put it on charge and then on my phone set the screen to go off.
I actually have none of these issues...

I hope it isn't the case where everything will only work flawlessly with the latest Nexus devices. Have Google tested Wear with anything older?
I suppose it would make good business sense to encourage peeps to fork out for a Nexus 5 after spending money on a Wear watch...
Another issue I'm seeing is starting a Navigation from the watch won't work if I have music playing on my phone (phone lockscreen has music player UI). It just sits there on Calculating route... I'll add this to my list (and others from other peeps)

Number 4, music control, works well with Pandora. I like that I can start Pandora by voice, but there's no way to shut it down the same way.
Number 8, the disappearing cards was giving me hell on stocks. To resolve, I opened a browser on my workstation, Googled "quote xom" or whatever stock, and then the stocks card reappeared. I suspect a simple "Ok, Google...quote XOM" might do the same thing.
None of these issues. Nexus 5 Stock 4.4.4. You are also using a custom ROM so.....

No 3. Timer kicks straight into Alarm picker. Timer does work when you get to Google screen, swipe up and manually select it. But that's not a solution. I'm on stock 4.3.
Having the control issue with google play music and youtube when connected to chromecast he buttons wouldn't work and with youtube wven tho there was nothing playing the buttons were still on the watch and couldn't be dismissed
also having the connection issues if i take the watch out of the reach of the phone the app won't reconnect unless i go into the app myself to do it even then the watch says it's not connected when using ok google
EDIT: Happened again this time can't get the Ok Google working at all
Anybody else having issues where raising your arm to activate "Ok Google"isn't working consistently? We've got 2 watches in the house, and I've worn both. Same issue. Seems like if you don't use it for awhile, the arm motion won't wake the watch back up.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I'm having some of the same issues. I've had a few smart watches to compare.
-My Gear 2 worked way better as far as waking up when raising my arm. The LG G is difficult to wake by raising my arm.
-Bluetooth doesn't connect automatically when I get back in range of my phone. The other smart watches have done this that I have owned so not sure why this issue exists.
-There's no way to set the screen timeout. This thing times out very quick. Personally, I have no problem charging my batt every night so I would like to take advantage of the 30 or so % that is left on the watch each night by increasing the screen time out, vibration duration etc.
-I have a difficult time getting cards back after deleting even if I search for the stock, weather, etc. again.
-No way to reply to text messages.
I'll add more as they hit me.
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...
[[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.
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
Hello everyone,
I'm having huge issues with notification:
- SMS (almost) never launch notifications, and this is VERY frustrating, think about SMS from bank or 2f authentication. I'm using stock SMS app
- many apps (like YouTube) many times when there's a notification, this disappear automatically after few second
- sometimes the phone light up the screen without a notification, so I don't know what's happened
I tried to search how to fix the notifications problem, I tried to lock app in multitasking, set manual boot and set the battery permission.. but nothing, the problem still remain. Its so annoying.
I'm using a mate 20 Pro (lya-29) with emui 10 and April security patch, I factory resetted the phone 1 month ago, I have 70gb left and few apps installed.
I also read the powergenie thread, but I would rather fix this problem in another way (if exists).
Thanks
PS: emui sucks, really, i'm hating this phone only for this annoying software.
I went the PowerGenie kill route PLUS DOWNGRADED the native SMS app (after trying even beta without luck) and my SMS notifications work fine now.
BTW :there is zero negative impact of uninstalling PowerGenie in case you are concerned.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I got the same problem about notifications : they appear when lockscreen, but when I unlock it they disappear.
I must reboot for fixing it on short run.
So annoying.
Okay, so I got this error a few times now and I'm wondering if anyone is facing this issue. Basically, what happens, I get a notification that goes something like this (not exactly):
"Unable to sync data to the device. Please update the app to the latest version and try again"
An icon is also presented, it's a phone that shows a little upward pointing arrow
This is more like a system message on the watch (I can dismiss it on the watch screen) so it's not really a notification from the phone but more like something that the watch sends to the screen internally. Kind of..? I'm not sure about that.
And after that, the screen is stuck. More precisely, the timeout never happens. I can operate the watch, go to the menu, do everything I did before so it does not freeze. But my timeout is set to 7 secs but after that nothing happens. If I press the red button and "close" the watch manually, the screen turns off. But if I get a notification, lift my wrist or turn the screen on with the red button the screen is stuck again in "always-on" mode.
The only thing that solves the issue is a reboot. I had to do this a few times in the past 2 weeks or so and it's super annoying.
Anyone has experience regarding this or has any idea what might be going on? It usually comes out of the blue every single time, the app even says the watch is connected and the icon on the watch is also telling me that the watch is connected...
I have the latest app firmware 1.3.7.16 (no update available), GTR 1. 47mm, bought it like a month ago, no issues so far. Android 10 running latest emui on a Huawei Mate 10 Pro.
Thanks
I Have the same Bug it Happens very Random sometimes after 2 weeks or 4 Times a day. I have no clou what the problem is the Zepp App and the Watch are Up to Date and the rest works Fine.
Im using a MI 9T Pro with Android 10 and MIUI 12 EU Version.
I wonder that its says something about the App but it works well the Sync the Watchfaces no Problem at all

I contacted amazfit support both via the app and the online support page regarding this. I received a reply fairly quickly in about two days. They told me (and anyone having this issue) to make screenshots/video about the exact behavior and send them so they can look at this issue and possibly fix it in the upcoming updates.
