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.
It's now February and the issue is ongoing. T-Mobile doesn't seem to have a fix yet and said they are working with Samsung to resolve the issue.
Hola
I am having the same issue when my watch is disconnected - I receive all my old text (BTW the one I already deleted - Which I am not happy about)
if I delete the text either from my phone and/or my watch it shouldn't be saved - @ @tmo_amanda
when we will receive an update to this bug and why my text messages is being saved once I deleted them ?
Hola,
I just got my Galaxy watch 2 weeks ago.
I am also having the same issue with duplicate texts coming through once my galaxy watch disconnects from Bluetooth & connects to LTE. I had Samsung Gear 2 before this & I never had a problem with duplicate messages in the 2 1/2 years I had it. @ @tmo_amanda thinking about returning my new galaxy watch....
Please help us!!
Just jumping in here.. TMob LTE S3 with Digits. S9+ with Pie. Running BT most of the time because Im rural and the watch eats battery searching for a tower. Dump of texts whenever I pickup LTE. Same song and dance from TMob when I call. Had the watch for a year now and if I knew what I know now I wouldn't have gotten it. Lets see where this goes...
Just got off phone with Digits support. New update allows for LTE always on with no spooled message dump issues. I tried this before, but I was getting duplicate messages at the same time they came in on watch (1 from bluetooth notification, second from LTE on watch notification). Now keeping LTE to always on has seemed to prevent this, according to my testing Digits rep says Samsung and TMObworked it out in latest update.
I haven't received a T-Mobile update in awhile. We'll see when I get it. Hopefully they ģot this fixed. When is this update supposed to be dropped?
February 22 was the last watch update drop date. I dont know if that was 100% their version of a "fix" or if they have something going on the back end too.
Only issue with LTE always on is when I receive and pick up phone call on phone, watch give missed call notification. would rather have that then duplicate texts tho.
Same here. Someone said it's due to the watch being designed to work as a
stand alone number, not with Digits. Dont know about that. I've had issues
with connectivity and battery life since I've owned it. If I had to do it
again I probably wouldn't. A lot of work for good looks.
Same here. It seems that TMO has their story straight at least now.
Somewhat. A few months ago talking with 5 different people would give you
like 8 different answers SMH. And the current solution is a work around at
best.
I bought mine in Feb 2018 and I replaced it twice. Took 3 months to get it
homework right and that was all Digits problems. Seem ok now as long as I
stay connect thru BT. Drop that nd battery life goes to Hell plus all the
dupes come in.
