S Health, Google Fit and Virgin Pulse?

Does anyone use this combination? I'm using a Huewai smart watch and it tracks my steps but only through google fit since it cant use s health. I'd rather use Google fit and it tracks everything fine ... but it just won't sync my steps with the Virgin Pulse app. It will sync if I use s health but I dont always have my phone on me, so I use the watch.
Anyone?

So, I too use Virgin Pulse. And what I see so far is that SHealth only syncs the phones steps to Virgin Pulse. It won't sync any other devices. Virgin Pulse on the Note 7 doesn't even give an option to sync with Google fit for me.

I am pretty sure this means that your watch won't sync to Virgin Pulse via your phone, since it won't allow you to connect Fit to Virgin Pulse. Unless your watch steps show up in S Health. There are a lot of weird idiosyncrasies I find with this stuff. I had been wearing a fitbit on my other wrist, because it at least just worked without any hoops. But it is on it's way to dead again, and it is my third one, so I am not buying another one. I have found a way or 2 to get my Pebble to sync steps, but it is drastically less than the fitbit or my phone on s health, like 2-3000 per day less. If you come up with a way, please let me know.

Thanks for the reply. I imagine Samsung has something to do with it. I find Google Fit is better for me, plus it will sync with my watch. It's unfortunate, but I'll have to manage it.

I have the same issue and its annoying as hell. This worked fine on my nexus 6p but on the galaxy s8 it made me sync with shealth and now won't sync the steps with my watch. FML

Virgin Pulse confirmed for me that their app cannot sync to Google Fit on Samsung phones due to a "default setting" on Samsung devices.

Any news two years later?
I see S health between the Virgin Pulse supported platforms, but not real option to use it.

Facebook Messenger

My Moto 360 showed me incoming facebook messages no problem, but I have never once seen one on my Huawei watch. I've tried resyncing the apps, re-pairing the watch, enabling all permissions for all apps involved, everything I can think of. Anyone have this problem and solve it?

Accidently blocked notifications from FB? Check Android Wear app.

Checked it. Not blocked.

Did you get an answer?
I just got an original Huawei watch yesterday (on sale, Amazon), and everything seems to be working as it should be except Facebook Messenger. After much tinkering, I am able to receive messages occasionally (not every one), but my only option to reply is a thumbs up. I can't send out on Messenger at all. Is this just the Huawei watch, or is it an AW 2.0 problem? I really want AW 2.0, but not being able to use messenger is a deal breaker for me. I am thinking of returning the watch, but for what? If the other AW 2.0 watches have the same problem, there's little point. Thanks for any help you can give me.

When I created this post, I was on Wear 1.5. Since 2.0, the problems have been fixed for me. I get notifications no problem.
Swipe up on the thumbs up to get more options. Select voice if you want to reply. Even though it says voice, you will be given the option to use the keyboard to respond as well.

Messenger on Huawei watch
I've just got an original Huawei watch and I'm using it with a Umi Super . Having downloaded the Facebook messenger app, when I open it on the phone I get a message saying "To use messenger, install the app on your phone first".
I already have messenger installed on my phone and no matter how many times I uninstall/reinstall. This is I get.
Has anyone else had this? Or have any ideas how to solve it?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem

Not getting notifications on huawei watch post AW2 update

I was on latest AW 2 preview version and then updated to AW2 version via OTA received on watch. The notifications worked for few times and then stopped completely. I tried rebooting the watch, phone (honor 7) but nothing changed. I tried uninstalling and installing the android wear app but still nothing changed. I tried restoring and adding watch again to phone but still nothing happened. I even did clean install of AW 2 (wiping the partition and sideloading the firmware) but still nothing changed. Is it happening for anybody else or does anybody has solution to fix it. I suspect it has something to do with the AW app. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I've been using an app called "informer wear" Search for it in the Playstore. It works great for me.

I had that happen yesterday on another watch still on 1.5. It resolved after rebooting my phone (S7e). So it's not just 2.0

Notifications have started to come theough now on my watch. Only thing that I changed was that I gave AW app 'priority display' permission under Notifications

I'm getting gmail and text notifications, but not my exchange email. High priority didn't help me. Even adding my exchange email to the gmail app didn't work.

it is a bug and solved by accident
it is a bug and solved by accident for me, just receive a call while you are connecting your watch to your smartphone and answer using the watch and talk using the watch.
then after closing the line using the watch also, all notifications will appear

Nice to see representation from Huawei.

Ive ordered mine getting it after few days from now, hope everything will be gone smooth without problems..

I no longer get any notifications after upgrading to 2.0. Only the call in comes thru.
Resetting my watch and rebooting my phone did not help either.

Have you tried a different watchface? I'm using WatchR and don't have a problem with notifications. I have the paid version so I'm not sure if the free version will work. I get both a full screen notification as well as a colored circle at the bottom with the number of notifications.

I'm using the stock watch faces - and this coloured circle you mention intrigues me. I miss having the notification at the bottom of the screen to pull up.
My notification are coming through - but I have no way of knowing there's a notification unless I swipe up to check. Is this the same for everyone else? No actual visible notification unless swiping up? I've turned on 'High' notification previews, but that's also not really what I want as I then lose the watch face.

Originally I was quite impressed for Huawei to have a presence here - went to try the chat about my issue with notifications and was told 'ask Google'. Super.
Huawei: Since this is an Android-related issues, please contact the local support for Android Wear, as they are the developers of the software and best equipped to offer you assistance with this.
Me: Who's the local support for Android? You mean Google?
Huawei: Yes.​
So... anyone got Sundar Pichai's contact info? lol

The colored dot only shows with special AW 2.0 optimized watch faces and AFAIK, none if the stock HW 1 watch faces.

The biggest problem I have is that they disappear after swiping through them. So say you get a Facebook notification & text. If the text is the second notification & you swipe past Facebook, you don't get to go back. With the previous AW version you could swipe as much as you like until you dismissed them or read them, etc. Bugs the hell out of me with 2.0 when it all disappears.

Notification
Hi, found this forum and wanted to ask if anyone having the same issue.
mine is lte.. before buying this watch i read online says that all notification from phone will receive without any bluetooth connection, i was interested on it.
eventually i bought the watch and all set up, but found out that the notification sometime receive and sometime not. So i realise the notif will receive when the phone is on then all notification will be received, but when phone is screen off / stand by mode all notification can't receive.
anybody having this issue? maybe there is some setting that has to be set so when you leave the phone all notif can be receive on watch?
and as i can see Huawei is in this forum, it will be great if you can assist on this issue.
thank you.

Need help with notifications please

Hi all,
I have just got my 46mm galaxy watch but i am having trouble with the notification management on the watch.
It's most probably me not using it right as i am used to wear OS but I'm hoping you can help me out.
When i get an email for instance i open it on my galaxy watch... Press the 3 dots on the right hand side and press the bin icon... This clears the notification from my watch but if i open my phone and go into the email app the email is still sat there.
What i am wanting is to completely delete the email from the account when i delete it on my watch not just clear the notification.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks in advance.

This is the problem i mentioned in this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ons--answers/email-app-missing-watch-t3865938
Only if you have Samsung Smartphone you can interactively work with mails. Note that you do not have mail app in the watch ( as I do not have )
You are just working with notifications form your mail app on the phone. You are only clearing notification- not the message.
Mayby someone make a full blown email app in the Galaxy Store - that is the only hope
Got it ?
P.S. I cannot understand stupidity of Samsung software team to make it this way

Hi, thanks for the reply. I am using a Samsung Galaxy note 9. I have the the Samsung email app on the watch and i use that email app on the phone.
On wear OS if i press delete it actually deletes the email from the account but this isn't the case on the Samsung watch it will just remove the notification on the watch / phone but leave the email sat in the account which is a bit poor in my opinion compared to wear OS.
Hopefully someone knows a way to delete the email straight from the notification same as you would on the phone from the pull down notification tray without having to physically go into the email app to do it.

From what I am reading, the access you have on your Galaxy Watch to your non-Samsung device is purely notifications. If it was a Samsung device (This is what I am hearing), you could get a native watch app that allows this but in your current set up, you can only clear the notification, not the email.

Hi. I am using a Samsung galaxy note 9 with the Samsung galaxy watch. I can go into the email app on the watch to delete the email but I want to be able to delete straight from the notification not just clear the notification and still have the email sat in the email account.
Thanks

And so the plot thickens...
I have tried to adapt to the way tizen seems to deal with email notifications and i am now opening the notification and pressing the "open in app" option and then long pressing the email and deleting from there on the watch. A bit of a long way around compared to wear os but OK it will have to do i suppose....
Now i am finding that if i do the method above the email deletes from the account, but the notification will still sit on my phone until i remove it on the phone despite already actually being deleted from the account :crying::crying:.
Who at Samsung thought this was all OK and was a good way of managing email notifications. It is completely broken

Solution found
I found following solution to satisfy author of the topic ( and me either ):
Note: I do not have Mail app on the watch as I do not have Samsung phone - all happens through notifications from Email app on the phone
1. Find and install TypeApp mail client from Play Store
2. Configure client above as you like - it is feature rich and bit messy but once done you will be satisfied
3. Important: in TypeApp: Setting-Notifications- Advanced Notifications ( top of screen ) ENABLE: Extended notifications for Wear & Nougat
4. Enable notification push to watch in Galaxy Wearable phone app
And now: when you receive notification on the Watch, click 3 dots on the right. You will note 2 wastebaskets icons. Touching upper icon deletes email and notification, touching lower icon clears notification from the Watch only
Happy Tuesday
P.S. I do not know how it works with other Emaill apps. Your comments are welcome.

Honor GS Pro Notification Issue

Hey fellas,
As you may know Huawei and Honor watches have similar behaviours so this may happen for any Huawei smartwatches also.
My problem is; when my phone receives a whatsapp message, it is shown on my watch as usual. However, when I read it via mobile phone, it does not disappear on my watch, it remains until I manually clear it from my watch. An information which is given at Huawei's website states that "Messages that you have viewed on your phone will be deleted from your watch at the same time.*", which is not the case for me. Huawei Health and watch has latest software. Any suggestions? Thanks.
*https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/content/en-us00737010/

That is the case for all Huawei/Honor watches. I am just returning W3Pro due to this. I don't like swiping away notifications on 2 devices and I hate not being able to reply. That is not very "smart".
Watching their releases in detail, i saw Watch3 or GT3 could reply to SMS and some selected privacy abusing messengers. But I want clever universal support, like Garmin has. To include any app, especially Signal.
