I think there is a setting where you choose which apps that gets to send notifications to the watch. Check in the Gear app on the phone. Same here, I get notifications without vibration for almost all apps. Sadly Viber does not and I really need it to.

Samsung Galaxy S2 — Phone not vibrating while receiving notifications.

Yeah, I tried factory as well this morning but no help. Contacted Samsung also, but no reply yet.

Sad thing is that it was working fine until like 2 weeks back and suddenly it stopped. No Gmail vibration either.

I tried everything I stumbled across, reinstalling Gear app, reseting watch, deleting app data, factory on phone, older versions of Gear app, turning vibration on in the android notification settings for each app. I am afraid it has to do with Android itself, because only thing I can remember is some minor android update happening, no Gear updates as far as I can recall.

How to Set the Gear S2 Vibration Options

I did try with different older phone and there it was working fine Still hope it will came back to life. Now its working for viber. I guess that on Oreo the notifications are handled somehow differently as I can see that in each application the Android can change tons of things Settings - application - choose any app - Notification So probably this is somehow tied to sending vibration to the Gear as well. So the older version of Viber is not yet "integrated" into Oreo notification management and that is why its working. As I mostly use Viber, I will stick with the old version as long as its working hoping some other solution will be found in the meantime.

Will try to contact Viber team as well. I just got an update for Samsung Gear. And the notifications seems to be working now. Does it work for Viber? I got the update as well but I am a bit scared of trying Not that it would be much work to try it but why try changing something that works?

To have no vibrate, ring only on calls and to have no sound, vibrate only on messages, where and how can this combo be selected in Settings?

For message alerts, u have to open the Messaging app and select 'Settings - Notification Settings'. Attached Thumbnails.

Your post would accomplish half the question, the texts would vibrate only. But what about the other half:
