I'm running 4.4.4 on a Samsung Verizon S5 paired with a Moto 360 2nd Gen running 6.0.1.
My notifications seem to be very unreliable. The biggest pain is that I can't seem to find any pattern to what happening. Here's what might happen after any notification comes in:
Vibration on the watch, followed with NO notification showing on the watch display.
Vibration on the watch, followed by notification displayed as I would normally expect.
Vibration on the watch, followed by a displayed notification, but the display comes 4-6 seconds AFTER the vibration.
Vibration on the watch, followed by a display of the PREVIOUS notification, which then flips to the current notification after about 4-6 seconds.
As I said, it's really annoying because I just can't seem to pin down exactly what's causing the issue or any sort of pattern for when it works, when it sorta works, or when it fails totally. This happens with all notification types to varying degrees. GMail, Outlook, CloudMagic, Hangouts, SmartThings... to name the programs I regularly get notifications from.
The only non-standard thing I'm running on my watch would be WatchMaker Premium. I don't have any app launchers running on my watch.
I've tried uninstalling outlook (as someone in the Android Forums suggested). I've tried a factory reset on the watch. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling Android Wear on the phone. I've tried re-syncing apps... Just not having any luck figure out what's going on.
Anyone else experience anything like this? Anyone have any suggestions/thoughts?
100% the same for me on my sw3. Sad that 1.4/6.0 doesn't fix it.
I've sent feedback via the app. There's also a couple threads about it on the official forum.

I suppose it's comforting to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. What phone/os are you running?
I'm wondering if upgrading to a new version on my phone would help at all. An 'expert' in the official forum said it shouldn't make a difference, but at the same time it shouldn't be acting like it is, so I dunno.
Just really frustrating cause "glancable" notifications is one of the big pluses of a smartwatch and right now it just isn't working.
Another question: Which service are you using? I'm on Verizon. If you aren't that would eliminate service as an issue.
(Yes, I know that service shouldn't be an issue... but maybe whatever programs/radio/whatever Verizon pushes on the phone might somehow screw with things??)
FWIW, I flashed a new 5.0 rom last night. After lots of effort getting things back up and running (mostly), I'm getting proper notifications. Not sure why, but something in the process of flashing got things working again.

Same issues with my Verizon S5 and 360. How did you downgrade the moto 360 from 6.0 to 5.0? I saw the forum about it but it wasn't clear.
No matter what rom I'm on....stock or modified...whether I'm fully wiped or not..."OK GOOGLE" detection stops listening and unchecks itself, (Always on and Personal results turn off).
Restarted, wiped cache, downgraded Google app, etc, etc. This is a major flaw and the ONLY reason I'm unhappy with this phone...isn't anyone else having these issues? H910 here, rooted with DirtySanta. VERY frustrated.
THIS is the closest thing I've seen relating to the bug I'm experiencing....but Accessibility fixes NOTHING. https://www.xda-developers.com/psa-disabling-accessibility-services-breaks-ok-google-feedback/
I don't have that issue. I am using NotSoStock rom on vs995. The only thing I changed was the build prop so that I can use the pixel launcher and google assist.
yes, I see it as well. Out of the blue the Hot Word Detection will be turned off. I am forced to turn it back on. My voice model is still in tact though, have no idea as to why this setting keeps turning itself off either.
curious, are you using TBO Black Out gapps?
I'm on stock with no root and OK Google keeps forgetting my voice. It was OK at first, then I think it broke with an update. I have it sorta stable for now.

The app doesnt seem to be forgetting my voice. The setting just gets turned off for what ever reason. When I toggle it back ON its not asking to train, so the voice remains there.
edit...I have a android wear device (smart watch) with the "OK Google" enabled. maybe it gets turned off on my v20 in favor of the wear device.
here is when it crashes
Code:
01-18 05:02:43.939 3064 23321 W AlwaysOnHotwordDetector: startRecognition() failed with error code -19
full log, from enabling to the auto disable that occurs if anyone is interested

I also have an android wear watch. You may be right, I haven't been wearing my watch the last fortnight, about the time the V20 has been behaving...

I had it on that rom, too. Worked, no updates at all, no system apps restored from Titanium...then stopped. Tried all of the "solutions" I found online, none worked. Kept toggling itself back off and freezing. Same as on stock. I'm on bone stock now with attkernel that I flashed and it's flying. So far, so good. But...give it a few more days. LOL.

Nope, I definitely don't have a watch or anything. The above post talks about a bug with Accessiblilties but none of what he said fixed my issue.

I don't have a watch. Only a bluetooth headset, car audio and bluetooth speaker. Other than that...no paired anything, in any way. It just decided to toggle "Always On" off and stay off...even after retraining, it freezes and untoggles, even on a restart or battery pull.

I thought so too...but I blocked updates...and am on root so I froze all apps that I usually install. Broke again. I'm on stock w/ root and att kernel at the moment and all SEEMS good...been a day. But, I'll update when it breaks again.

Nope. No gapps. Was on Not So Stock...but for weeks have been going back and forth to stock w/ root and back, trying to troubleshoot. I'm now on bone stock, w/ Nova launcher and att kernel. I'm flying on it...same as other roms...and Google Now works just fine, but it's been a DAY. I'll update when/if it stops working.
Yup I had thought I may have fixed it once - but turns out it still switches off on me too. I'm on H910 with NSS ROM. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the kernel if yours is working currently on complete stock. But at least it does work on my home screen so I dont really mind much.
But yeah when going into the settings and switching Always On to ON state, and then when you go back in - the app freezes up for awhile (like about 30secs to a minute). Then it comes back up, but the Always On is toggled OFF again.
Edit: or maybe it is due to being a deODEX'ed ROM? I know occasionally issues happen for different apps when its deODEXed.

Try it and lemme know how you fare. I'm glad I'm cruising beautifully for now...with the exception of Viper4Android stopping working like I've experienced on all roms.
Best of luck!!!!:good:

I'm having the same issue especially Snapchat the sound makes me feel like my speaker is going out which it's not
Same here. Bug in system
same here. I noticed it for awhile. Samsung needs to fix this bug!
it happens at least twice today. so annoying.. Anyone here having the same issue?
Aye, happening with me too. But it is not consistent, sometimes the notification sound will play in full, other times cut.
I also have the cut off sound when my sounds do play, but I currently have an issue when none of my sounds are playing at all. Then suddenly one app will play a sound, but the rest won't. But I had this on my S7 as well, so I'm not sure where the bug is, as it isn't specific to any app. I usually have to do a complete factory reset to reinstate them, which is a bit annoying.
This is pants, 8 months down the line and it's still happening. For me it's calendar notifications. Sometimes it'll only play one note of the sound, sometimes none, sometimes 2 or 3 notes. I've tried everything from changing tones to doing a factory reset, still no good. This is bad from Samsung, they've got such excellent hardware but their software implementation is poor, there's always something dragging it down.
Thought it was all just in my head… Turns out others are also having this issue. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it does happen.
I had problem with my S7 edge and now 6 months later with my Note 8. I did the factory reset and problem still exists. Someone had recommended me to install "Disable increasing ring" app, and that seems to fix the problem. You get 10 days trial then it's .99 cents to purchase. I will try to do the factory reset again and install very minimal app to see which one that causes the problem. Things is, I shouldn't have to purchase an app to fix the problem. Very frustrating. I don't know If it's only happen Samsung phone. If that's the case then I might have to switch to Pixel.
I just got an S9 now, running oreo, so we shall see if it still does it. I will report back soon.
Stupid Glitches
I'm having this problem now. I don't know if it's where I live (Juneau, Alaska) or my service provider or too much stuff stored on my phone. It's irritating. Especially when I end up missing half of my husband's work breaks because the sound doesn't go off. It happens mostly with FB messenger. I'm sick of it.

Do you have a smartwatch connected to it at all? Just wondering if that could be anything to do with it?
Hi everyone!
I like most people it seems are getting sick of this phone for its countless issues relating to notifications and general huawei "optimizations"
I keep getting camera failed when taking a photo within whatsapp and all me media disappearing and having to un install it and reinstall several times! Lasts a few days with no issues then starts all over again..
Has anyone else had this issue? I am seriously thinking of putting a custom ROM on it to make it more normal behaving but don't really know what's the best option. I have done this with a few other phones (galaxy note 3 and s6 and xiaomi redmi note 4) but I'm nervous about doing on this phone.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Matthew
No issues with whatsapp
Give you the right Permissions in App Settings?
You can make a Widget from Whatsapp on the Homescreen and no Problems with Notifications
Thanks very much for your reply.!
I have always had the widget as notifications are a major pain in the ass on this phone and have made sure all permissions are sorted.
It usually is ok for a week or two then suddenly it starts playing up. I really want to put a custom ROM on the phone but don't know where to start.
Thanks again and hopefully this maybe the last issue I have with the phone but I doubt it lol...
Matt
also make sure that whatsapp app is not on list "power save mode" apps. it can block it too and that's why you having issues
Is your Phone rooted?
No phone jot rooted but I really want to put a custom ROM on but don't know what's the best one? The phone standard is a real pain! Constant issues!
You haven't moved WhatsApp to the SD card, right?
Just got this today and it's great besides being a bit smaller than my g6 and because of front camera design only being technically 5.5in screen for most apps especially games.
However since I have had it, it has randomly rebooted itself twice for no real apparent reason. Is this a known issue or something anyone else has experienced? I want to try to get a bit more information on it before contacting the eBay seller. It is a refurbished.
I have never experienced a random reboot. You might want to try factory resetting your phone and then setting it up with the fresh start option instead of restoring from a Google cloud backup. Was your phone on Nougat or Oreo when you received it? Were there any major software updates?
It was fully updated to 8.1.0 when I received it. April 5th security patch. It was factory reset and I started fresh. No backup other than logging into my Google account for contacts, passwords and logins and such. I never do backups and restores always start fresh other than Google account.

Must be rogue app, had mine 3 months and never had a glitch or reboot.

If you are still having the random reboots you might want to boot your phone into safe mode to verify that a third party app isn't causing the problem. Since your phone was refurbished it's also possible that it was damaged by the previous owner or returned for the same issue you are experiencing. I did read that some early PH-1 buyers had to return their phones because of hardware issues like overheating.
Just did it again while using chrome. Just froze up for a few seconds and restarted. Doesn't seem to be overheating and the first time it happened before I installed anything I think. Guess I'll try a reset and go from there.
Factory reset twice now. No 3rd party apps installed. Updated all apps on Google play. The default phone apps.
Now the phone is freezing and rebooting itself constantly. Out of control. I am in safe mode right now and hasn't frozen yet. I don't know what the hell is going on.
Would love to be able to fix this issue myself without having to do return shipping. I have contacted the seller already though.
If it doesn't freeze or reboot at all in safe mode that usually means an app that you downloaded is causing the problem. The normal thing to try would be to factory reset the phone, download one app and see if there are problems. If the phone seems to be fine download a second app and use the phone long enough to see if the phone is stable. If it seems fine download a third app and do the same.
That's obviously very time consuming and if you were running a phone with heavily modded code like OnePlus with Oxygen it would probably be worth the investment of time. But this phone runs stock Android. Unless you are installing something unusual that might cause stability issues what you are describing sounds like a hardware problem. You might have bad memory for example and not enough is going on when the phone is in safe mode to trigger the unstable behavior.
I think returning or exchanging the phone you bought is definitely your best course of action. I really like this phone but it sounds like yours is defective or damaged.
The only other thing that comes to mind is that sometimes if you own more than one phone the Play Store will show apps that aren't compatible with the phone you are actually using. Dialers, messaging apps, camera apps and music players made for a specific phone brand aren't usually compatible with other brands because they need modded framework to function properly. Some apps that definitely are not compatible with this phone do show up in my Play Store Library available for download. Is it possible you are downloading an incompatible app?
I factory reset and haven't installed a single app. Just updated everything that was stock with the phone after reset. I was thinking faulty ram too, seems like it is.
Yeah I guess it's toast. Last night while watching YouTube it froze. Screen scrambled with artifacts and the phone made a loud continuous howling sound like an emergency alert. I honestly thought it was an emergency alert until I saw the artifacting.
Unless someone here can possibly give me an idea of any other reason it could be displaying this behavior I guess I have no choice but to return it?

Grab a BTS zip from the back to stock thread... And flash that...
I'll bet however it was updated had some yuck in it...

Someone in the Essential stock ROM dump thread just described the exact same behavior that you are experiencing. He hopes reflashing stock will fix it but since it's identical to what's happening with your phone I think he's going to end up disappointed. You might want to check out his post and see if he has any luck. It was the latest post in the thread so it should be easy to find.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681/page41
Yeah that was me. Trying to get information on the procedure to manually reflash this phone with stock firmware. I shouldn't need to unlock bootloader to do it? Just trying to flash stock over stock to hopefully correct any os corruption. Also mine is apparently a unlocked Sprint variant even though it was advertised as being a normal unlocked variant. Not sure if the firmware from that thread will work for me.

Sorry I didn't notice that. I haven't done any flashing on this phone but I know I read that people with the Sprint phones were flashing the regular stock image to get rid of the Sprint apps and get updates from Essential rather than Sprint. But if you don't want to unlock your bootloader you can download official factory images from the Essential website and sideload using a computer. Flashing instructions are on the download site.
https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds
Alright I reflashed the latest firmware from essential page via adb sideload. I highly dout it worked but I'll see.
What would I need to do from here to do a complete fresh reflash completely overrighting any trace of the old os? I still want to keep it stock but doesn't matter if I need to unlock the bootloader. Just want a complete wipe of the old os and fresh reflash to be sure any traces of corruption are removed to be sure if it's a hardware issue.
That's easy on single partition phones but much more difficult on phones with an A & B partition like the PH-1. You definitely need to unlock the bootloader. On my Pixel XL you needed to flash the factory image separately to partitions A & B to ensure there was nothing left from before but the procedure might be different on this phone. I went through the flashing instructions when I got this phone and think if you flash the full restore stock image it supposedly returns both partitions to stock automatically but that definitely didn't happen on the Pixel. Considering that this phone is supposed to be easy to hard brick (which was virtually impossible on the Pixel) I wouldn't chance it unless you can't return or exchange the phone from the seller.
Well side loading the ota from essential website didn't work. I'd say it's already hard bricked. Still crashing after a while of using it. Last night I loaded as many apps at one time as I could. Got maybe 10 opened at once before it crashed. Seems like faulty ram to me.
Wife just had it happen on her new White one twice today while playing Pokemon GO.
She says she also had her podcast app and hangouts open but minimized and not being actively used in the background.
She's on a fresh install of Oreo 8.1 with the Gcam mod by MGC_5.1.018_Urikill_vXXII.apk using the settings suggested by aer0zer0
Anyhow I hope its just a completely random fluke and not a serious issue as I have a new black one from Amazon in the mail and would really hate to have to return these otherwise wonderful devices.
Mine ain't no fluke. After it crashes if I immediately reboot it instantly crashes again. I have to let it sit a while turned off and reboot again to any significant time before crashing. Longest time it's ran before crashing since having it it's maybe an hour. Didn't notice it much at first because I didn't use it more than a few minutes at a time. So it was in sleep mode constantly crashing and rebooting. Now that I have been watching it more it just constantly keeps rebooting even while sitting idle. I'll glance over at my phone and low and behold it's rebooting again.

Ouch okay that most certainly sounds like a bad hardware issue as you suspected earlier.
Thankfully in her case the reboots were well apart from one another and the phone was fine after the reboot. Even let her play PKGO.
I mostly came in to comment to hopefully help by voicing that it had happened and the circumstances in which it did for her with the idea it might pinpoint some flaw in the overall system if there was one.
