Hi all,
my Google Now reminders fail to vibrate. The reminders will vibrate and play notification sounds on the phone though, but on the watch I can only see the card if I occasionally activate the display.
Actually those Google Now reminders would be extremely helpful as I can quickly set them up by voice command, but the missing vibration renders them useless.
Is it just me or does anybody else have this problem as well?

I am actually surprised hardly anyone is commenting about the issues with Google Now on the watch. It makes me believe my watch is damaged somehow.
Since the upgrade to 1.4 Google Now is very inconsistent. I get cards on the phone and not on the watch, not even a vibrate. I installed "Feel The Wear" and get vibrations but no cards. I have to open the Google app on the watch to see what was the notification.
Integration with Google Now was the reason I chose Android Wear instead of Samsung Gear.
Now it seems Google does not care about Android Wear.
I was also surprised that there was no feedback to my thread here. I was also searching different sites and found evidence, that there is indeed a problem with the Google Now reminders.
Example:

But I still don't know if it is not working for everyone. It would be good if someone who has working vibration notification for Google Now reminders could comment on this thread.
I guess the question should be be:
Who is having NO problems with Google Now on this watch?
I haven't had any issues with Google Now but I don't use it for a lot of things other than sports scores and weather.

Hi,
Have anyone noticed how low the TTS voice is in Navigation? I usually have a music app playing in the background while using Navigation. After upgrading to JB, I could barely hear the new TTS girl's voice. Is there a setting that I need to change? The volume level was maxed out. So...
Thanks for your input.
Same here. Barely audible!

Google probably took to heart that we always complain about our Wives and GF always yelling at us and telling us where to go
Seriously though - mine is pretty quiet as well... Maybe the volume + App?
Hi Guys,
I had this problem too but now I realise that my text to speech is entirely gone!
It works everywhere else, in Google now, Google voice actions etc. I'm not sure what's wrong.
One thing though is that I'm using Urvana's Google Maps which unlocks navigation in my country. I am not sure if cause it's not an official Google map which is why it can't connect to text to speech, though I doubt it since I did initially had voice navigation even after installing Jellybean.
I noticed this last time I was driving with gps on. I figured I would just turn down the volume on the music on the phone and turn up the volume on my car. Haven't had an opportunity to try it yet, though.
Hey, I'm trying to figure out if the issue I'm seeing is limited to my device, or if other people are seeing it as well.
I currently have vibration notifications disabled for G+, Google Hangouts, and Facebook, but enabled for phone and text messages. If I have the volume turned up, my phone will only vibrate when I receive texts or phone calls ... as expected. However, if I put my phones sound profile to Vibrate, it will vibrate for all notifications, regardless of finite app preferences. I have to keep my phone on silent at night and at work, otherwise it just vibrates allllllllll day long. However, that also means that, unless I'm looking at my phone, I'll miss phone calls or text messages.
The Verizon store confirmed the issue, and HTC just escalated the issue when I called. Is it my device, or are you guys seeing that as well?
Used to be program that let you use Text to Speech to Gmail, Hangouts.... all notifications you want to setup.
Got a new phone but the program is gone, I am back to hoping I notice vibrations.
Did the Developer give up on the app ?
Do you know what the app was called ?
The only thing I found on Google Play was something called Feel the Wear.
The program documentation seems to say to can get sound notifications not TTS but you can set it so when you get Gmail it plays one of the sounds.
Does not work for me at least not yet.
I have a new A5 2017. I DON'T play music on it but I PLAY A LOT OF GAMES.
It's really annoying me that when I get a message or email or something a notification pop up appears and obscures part of my game and I have to wait for it to go away before I can carry on playing.
I don't seem to be able to find how to stop this without turning off all notifications. I don't really want to do this. I will know which app a notification is from because of the sounds I have allocated to them. I don't play music so I don't mind how much noise they make. I just want to get rid of the pop up messages.
Can anyone out there help me please?
It's very simple actually7, specially on samsung phones like this one. Just install "game Launcher" app from the Galaxy Apps, enter the app and enable "Game Tools". That will enable a floating button on every game you play, where you can diassable alerts while playing, block the navigation buttons and even record your gameplay (internal sound supported).

Do not disturb mode mutes all calls and alerts on your device, unless you set them as exceptions. You can set Do not disturb mode to turn on and off automatically at scheduled times.
Dear all,
my apologies if this topic alredy exists in this forum.
My problem:
I'm pairing my Watch4 via BT with Note8, Android version 9.
WhatsApp text messages show up on the watch as expected, but calls don't. I get notified about missed calls, but those specific notifications show themselves as that orange dot only. No vibration or sound. I could stand having this issue if at least the "missed call" notification would work well.
Here's the odd thing; every now and then I actually do get that call notification, with the opportunity to decline. But not very often and there is no behavior pattern whatsoever. Seems totally random.
It didn't work with my old Galaxy Active Watch either, so I'm suspecting that the problem might be with the phone, not the watch.
I would so much appreciate some good advice on how to troubleshoot this. Or at least an explanation of the cause.
Anyone...?
