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.
I've had this problem since the beginning. The problem with leaving LTE on is the battery drains like crazy. I can get two days normally. But the batch messages coming thru is very irritating! I got the update yesterday and now when certain people text me it comes thru as my watch #. I thought this was fixed. Also some texts come thru as hidden sender. I am highly disappointed to say the least. The Frontier never had these problems and I wish I would have kept it.
They lied. This was working a long time ago with these settings. It drains the battery.
Hola,
I just got my Galaxy watch 1 weeks ago.
I am also having the same issue with duplicate texts coming through once my galaxy watch disconnects from Bluetooth & connects to LTE. It is very frustrating. I am happy with my watch other than this issue. Sadly I may need to return the watch if I am unable to fix this issue.
When I was on Verizon, I had this issue and there was a setting within the Samsung gear app. But I can't find it anymore. But I can't imagine that it matters what carrier you have since it is a Samsung profit and app. Has anyone tried contacting Samsung?
I have the Galaxy watch lte and digits with t-mobile. I have had the duplicate text issue since i bought it in April 2019. i have read the whole thread and my questions is: do you recommend resetting watch and talking to samsung for set up or to t-mobile. i would really appreciate any help. thank you.
you don't have to reset your watch. When I had Verizon with a galaxy watch, there was a setting that would prevent that from happening. But with T mobile there is no setting for it. It only happens when you are out of range for the Bluetooth connection. If it doesn't happen a lot, I wouldn't worry about it. Just clear it when it is done downloading the duplicate messages. I just haven't had as chance to contact Samsung and ask them. But you could always message them and see what they say.

I'm guessing it is because on Bluetooth, the messages are simply being copied to the watch and not considered delivered to the watch so when you jump on to LTE, the network thinks it still needs to deliver the messages to the watch and so the watch starts downloading all the messages.
Hey guys.Same as ya'll I was irritated by the ANNOYING duplicate texts that drains my battery whenever I'm away from my phone. But, I think i figured out a way to help you guys if you haven't figured it out yet... I went on the Galaxy Wearable app on my phone and went on Notifications, tapped on Manage notifications and turned off the Messages. I've had it since yesterday afternoon and no vibrating on my wrists. My watch also lasts a bit longer too! I started off the day with 100% and it is now, 1:30 pm and its at 76%. Not to shabby! I hope this works out for you guys! ALOHA!
This seems to be an issue with SMS delivery over LTE.
LTE release the Radio Connection fast without completing acknowledging the SMS reception to SMS gateway.
This kept going on till SMS is marked delivered at SMS Gateway.
You can try it over 2G/3G and will never see this issue.
SMS over wifi or iMessage on iphone bypass using inbuilt SMS over LTE services so will not find this issue.
Please update the thread if you are able to try this.
Same issue will be seen on Mobile phones and you can experiment choosing 3G/2G
