Galaxy Watch LTE duplicate messages
As the title says I am getting duplicate messages to my galaxy watch. When im connected to bluetooth everything works fine, texts sync properly when read on one device. However whenever i disconnect from my phone and switch to LTE i get every text ever all pver again. Literally 1000's. You would think the solution would be to leave lte on all the time? Wrong. When i leave lte on all the time then my watch and phone dont sync! If i read the text on my watch it wont update ththe phone anand vice versa. The point of the watch is to be able for the phone and watch to sync AND to leave your phone behind. Ive read dozens of users experienceing the same problem whats the fix tmoble? Ps this isnt an issue with the apple watch lte
@dupsla y @magenta6238774 , thank you both! I sent a PM your way which should be in your bandeja_de_entrada. I also agree about the latest update which is something I'll include in feedback because I do think @magenta6898941 has a great point.
Not at all! I got what you were saying. 😊
Sorry I didnt mean to come off rude to you I just wanted to make sure they didnt take this as a solution 😊
After about a little over a week of having the replacement mine has leveled out to about 5% an hour.
Mine does the same thing. Hopefully there will be an update soon.
The settings I posted was at the recommendation of the Samsung rep when I got my replacement. I was just putting out there what he recommended. I understand it's a quick fix and does need to be followed up on.
Just want to be clear that an it's not an acceptable fix for this issue to simply turn on mobile networks always on. I think that suggestion came from a user not an admin but want to make sure this thread doesnt derail bc of it. That setting kills battery life from 3 days 2 nights down to less than 24 hours and doesnt actually fix the issue. We need to be able to use "automatic" mobile settings, connect via bluetooth when in range, and not get duplicate messages when out of range.
It's been weeks since this thread was made and it's a fairly well known issue that has existed since release, surely theres an update to be had?
Thank you for your time,
after changing the settings to @dupsla 's suggestion.. my battery was at 5% at midnight. Which means it lasted me about 17 hrs. i was getting the text messages on both my phone and watch, however, if i read my messages on my phone it didn't mark them as read on my watch and if I read them on my watch, it didnt mark then as read on my phone. Kind of annoying.
I switched my settings to match yours right now Dupsla..hopefully that works better. about 1 hr has passed since I tried the previous settings and my watch is down to 77%. Almost 10% batter drained in a little over 1 hr.. that's crazy!!
No it didn't Amanda.
I have a post above how the samsung rep set up my second watch and it does help with the duplicate message problem. I am getting 15-16 hours average, maybe a little more. Mine is the 42mm. I have 6 hours 37 min 27 seconds since last full charge and I'm at 78%.
