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.
Hello, I am having the same issues once my phone and watch are not connected via bluetooth. I copied the following settings:
Under the watch Settings/Connections:
Bluetooth: Desactivado
Mobile Networks/Mobile Networks: Always on
Mobile Networks/Mobile Data: On
Mobile Networks/Data Roaming: On
Mobile Networks/Network Mode: LTE/3G (auto connect)
Wifi: desactivado
NFC: Off
Let's see what this does. I just did it, its 12:16pm and I am at 86%. Let's see what happens by the time I go to bed.
No it didn't Amanda.
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!!
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.
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 about a little over a week of having the replacement mine has leveled out to about 5% an hour.
Sorry I didnt mean to come off rude to you I just wanted to make sure they didnt take this as a solution 😊
Not at all! I got what you were saying. 😊
You're right, @magenta6596678, this isn't a permanent solution. That's what I'm working on with the internal Samsung partners. Trust me....I'm being a squeaky wheel and doing my best to get everyone answers ASAP.
It's me again! I'm super sorry for the repetitive posts, but I want you guys to know that I'm staying on top of this. I don't have any updates as of yet but we also just returned from a long weekend so other parties that I'm working with may not have had the chance to reply back to me. I'll update you as I have more info. If you have notice any changes in how your Watch is functioning battery-wise or duplicate message-wise, please let me know.
