Apps automatically open when connected to AW/S3 - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I've had this problem with my Moto360 on Android Wear & the Tizen Gear S3 so here goes.
There's a really irritating issue where a notification arrives on the phone or watch & the corresponding app opens automatically on the phone.
I can be reading an email on the phone when a text arrives & the messaging app automatically opens & displays the text message.
Anyone know how to stop this?

Click to collapse
Open the Samsung Gear app
Go to Settings
Go to Notifications
Scroll to the last option called "Smart Relay" and turn it off

Thanks! That sorted it.
Do you know how I can still get notifications on the phone & gear?

[Q] Notification not updating

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy S5 for just over a week and I noticed that the notifications (email, hangouts) do not update if I read the messages from another device. If, for example, I have a new email and read that email on my computer (or tablet), the notification on the phone will still be there until I read that email on the phone. If i just swipe the notification to make it dissapear, when a new email comes in, it will tell me I have two unread messages eventhough the previous messages have been read (on another device).
Before the S5, I had a Nexus 4. Whenever I read a message on my computer, the notification on the phone would dissapear and messages would be marked as read almost immediately.
I find it really annoying to have the notifications and specially the LED light blinking for messages I already read.
Can anyone please tell me how to have S5 work the same way? All my settings are set to "push".
Thanks!
Check if you have enabled auto sync.
Can you tell me where auto sync is? I only found "activesync" under the exchange settings and it's enabled. I didn't find anything like that for my google account settings.
Thanks

So nobody else has this problem?

Message preview in Notification bar

I have a rooted Galaxy S4 and anytime I use the gmail app and the other stock mail app. One for personal email and one for work email. Every time I get a new message in either app, it shows a preview of the message on the notification screen if I drag it down. I want to disable the message preview on that notification screen but have not found a way to do it. I have done it on my text message app and was able to turn it off there. But, I can't find anywhere to turn off the message preview for the two email apps. Does anybody here know of a way to do this or possibly a mod to install that will remove it? Just to clarify, I want to keep the notification just turn off the preview of the message. Thanks.
I'm curious about this too. I've been looking everywhere but didn't find a solution. Did you find anything on it?

GMail popup notification

Hey folks
I am new to android/galaxy s7 edge...coming over from an iPhone. I had a newbie question...when I get a GMail notification, the phone vibrates and I get an unread email icon in the notification bar. I can pull it down to see the actual notification.
However, the new email does not show up as a popup notification (like an SMS for example) so that I can delete, mark as read it right away without the need to pull down the notification shade. Is that something I can enable?
I hope I am explaining this correctly. Thanks for your help!
No ideas?

Download Floatify from the Play Store. Once installed go through the initial setup. Once finished with that, click the "Heads Up" button>select the first option "Which">select the first option "App Settings"
From there I unchecked all apps and only selected what I wanted. In your case, select Gmail and any other apps you want. The reason I specified an app as opposed to selecting all, is because some apps already do this and I don't want two pop ups for one notification.
Good luck.

whatsapp notification issue on V20

hey.
for some reason, i dont get notification on whatsapp even after disabeling battery optimisation for the app.
i get them for about 1-2 minutes after screen off and then i stop getting them untill I open the app again.
anyone having the same issue?
and even better, anyone found a workarround?
I don't have this issue. But I do notice that sometimes it wont vibrate but I believe that its because the phone was not locked. Go into whatsapp Settings then Notifications and make sure its all good.
hmm mine come through fine. only thing that annoys me are these new in line replies for 7.0. i liked that when i clicked the convo from the dropdown menu or heads up notification it brought up that popup where you can swipe between messages without having to open the app and conversation.....you can't see more than the latest message with in-line notifications so it's annoying, and you have to open the entire convo bc clicking it in the dropdown now opens the whole app. kinda sucks compared to before!
Thanks for posting.
I have the exact issue and it's really annoying!
I keep missing other people's message until I wake the phone and open the App.
Is there a solution?
Try go to notification setting turn on the light setting

Notification of Single Contact

Hello folks,
I am having an issue that I just can't figure out.
Using the standard apps, when I get texts, no notification sounds are made but I get all text notification as just the cards.
I tried both Wear Messenger and Messages for Android (also called Wear Messages). Here is where my issue comes into play. All text notification makes the sound I set, all except for one. One single contact when using either Wear Messenger or Messages for Android just does not show up. It doesn't even show a card for that text. I have tried everything I can think of, reset the watch, deleted the contact and readded it. I am at a lose at this point on what could be causing this one contact text to not notify me via the watch. When the contact calls that works fine and I can answer a call from them. BTW, the watch is a Fossil Q Founder runner the current Android Wear version.
Normally just for one contact I would just say screw it....but it's my girlfriend. So I would like to have the notification show up on the watch when she texts me. Any ideas?
