Notifications... they work, oh... now they don't!

[gmpsilon]

I'm certain this is about the 100th topic on this since I've just scanned through about 1/2 dozen of them, but can it be THAT hard?  My ionic will reliably receive notifications from my Samsung phone for a couple hours max, then nothing.  Reboot phone, restart Ionic, diddle around with settings and bluetooth and **maybe** if I'm lucky I'll get them started again, but really I spend 90% of the time NOT getting notifications, and consider them to be a rare luxury when they do work. 

it's entirely frustrating, this watch is fantastic to run with and workout with and the apps I do use are working reasonably well, but this central feature of getting notifications is turning out to be an epic fail.  And I think I've given it a fair shot, I've had the watch from almost the release date, been patient, done the firmware upgrade... 

ugh.  I'm really starting to think I should have bought the Garmin Fenix.  I'm feeling like a fool at this point.

Hi, i read that you already tried several things, but check the following, because this gave me a lot of problems.

Make sure that the following modes are NOT activated.

1) Do Not Disturb mode (DND mode)

2) DND mode with alarms activated

3) DND mode with Priority activated.

If either one of these is activated, it will not work, or sometimes it will and sometimes it won't work.

These modes get activated if you push down the volume button untill the vibrate gets activated. Then DND mode is also activated.

Hmmm, sorry to hear that.

If all the other solutions and possibilities don't work for you, then i think i am not able to help you any further.

But just search for your problem, there are a lot of people with these kind of problems and i think i have seen several solutions or workarounds.
