So I have a Galaxy watch 5 and for a while now I've noticed that when my phone rings I don't see the notification pop up on my watch or I don't see my screen display the call so I can answer it, even when I'm at work and have my headphones in. Now I went through and looked it up online and find out what settings I need to change and have done that. And the furthest I've gotten recently is to see the phone icon at the bottom of my
It sounds like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with call notifications not appearing properly on your Galaxy Watch 5, even after adjusting the recommended settings. Since you've already made some changes and are now only seeing the phone icon at the bottom of the screen, here are a few additional steps you might try to resolve the issue:
Check Bluetooth Connection Stability
Ensure your watch and phone maintain a stable Bluetooth connection, especially if you're moving between Wi-Fi and mobile networks at work.
Verify Notification Settings
On your phone, go to Galaxy Wearable app > Watch settings > Notifications.
Make sure Phone is enabled under the list of apps allowed to send notifications.
Enable Call Alerts
In the Galaxy Wearable app, navigate to Watch settings > Notifications > Advanced notification settings.
Ensure Show while using phone and Show alerts when phone in use are both enabled.
Check Do Not Disturb and Modes
Make sure Do Not Disturb, Theater Mode, or Sleep Mode aren’t enabled on your watch or phone, as these can suppress call alerts.
Update Software
Confirm that both your Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy S22+ are running the latest software versions.
Reset Notification Permissions
Try toggling notification access off and back on for the Galaxy Wearable app under Settings > Apps > Special access > Notification access.
Restart Both Devices
A simple restart of both your phone and watch can sometimes resolve lingering sync issues.
If the issue persists after these steps, a factory reset of the watch (as a last resort), please backup the data before performing the factory reset of the watch.
I believe I've tried all these steps as part of the process I was mentioning. But I will run through all these again. And try the last resort again, too
