Interesting but this can't be it because theater mode changes the watch screen behavior and would be noticeable. Also a small icon appears on screen in theater mode..

I suspect that certain types of notifications may crash the notification handling service on the watch.
[Moto 360] freestylejunki32:
I am having same issues after getting the update last night. Randomly wont get any notifications and a reboot temporarily fixes it. also when i do get email notifications i cannot delete the email from watch. watch will say "Sorry, that didnt work"
[Moto 360] Redeye:
Pull down twice on the watch

Hi,

I'm still waiting for my update but I did see this youtube video that covered the new features of 5.0.1 and it may have info that can help. Android Wear "Lollipop" First Look and Tour! start at around 1:05 to see the notifications features.

If you pull down a second time on the window you can set you notifications to None, Priority or All.

Cheers!
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
That is great info, but clearly the reviewer was running a beta build or something because I have no such option. I have only mute on/off. The only other possibility I can think of is that the additional features are only enabled when running a phone with Lollipop on it. I am stuck on 4.4.4 for a little longer.

So does anyone have those options?
[Moto 360] 640k:
nope. this isn't an option.
[Moto 360] Redeye:
I just got my update.

The Notifications priority from the video is the first card of the pull down. Tap to switch between None. Priority or All.

[IMG="Moto Screen Pic"]http://dragonflycharm.net/sharedimages/moto360.png[/IMG]
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
So very strange, I only have mute on/off. It must be related to the OS on the connected phone.
[Moto 360] ragnarokx:
Yup, Lollipop notifications on the watch are different than Kit Kat and below.
[Moto 360] JCrichton:
Same issues as others, if multiple emails received, no notification if I had just looked at one. Sometimes the email I just deleted will stay on the watch screen or will stay at the delete button. Once it clears itself, notifications start up again. In the short time I had 4.4w2, didn't experience this.

OnePlus One running 4.4.4
[Moto 360] chrisngrod:
Quickly scanned through this thread.

Running the update and paired with a Nexus 6 here. Have the notifications issue. Also can only turn the screen on by using the button. Touching the screen or bringing the watch to my face doesn't work anymore. Hope this gets resolved soon.

EDIT: Just have the notifications issue now. Somehow I enabled theater mode. Which disables the tilt feature and screen tap to turn on. Wait... maybe it's all related to theater mode? Notifications appear to be working.
[Moto 360] bigdad771:
possible fix

ok, so I just got the update and on my ride home from work I stopped getting notifications, I got home and started messing around and found that when I swiped up from the bottom of the screen all my notifications came back. When pressing on the small notification card and swiping down the notifications disappear again and I no longer receive alerts but when I swipe up again I can see all the notifications I missed and my alerts come back as well.
[Moto 360] Faxman:
I came across this thread while researching the same issue on a Zenwatch / Nexus 6 combination so it is apparently not watch specific.

One of my suspicions is that it may be related to 3rd party watch faces or maybe Facer.

Is there anyone here that is having the problem that only has stock watch faces?

I can report that the problem occurs when using a stock watch face but haven't yet removed all others to see if it helps.
[Moto 360] ttown:
If your phone is running Lollipop then it will get this feature.

5.0.1 update

after update my moto 360 to 5.0.1 battery life getting so good :o

but

sometimes it getting freeze on notifications .... but happy about the battery:good: life
[Moto 360] OldDroid:
5.0.1 on N5 here too, no problems at all with notifications ...
[Moto 360] Cst79:
I received a suggestion (from one of the Android Wear tech persons - not a forum user) from the Android Wear Help forum to reset the watch to factory settings. I will try this...but I'm quite sure it will not work. But those with this problem may want to try it too.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
I've reset many times, never solved the problem. I am sure the only fix is to update my phone to Lollipop.
[Moto 360] Cst79:
I am reluctant to think that Lollipop on phone would fix the issue. Something is clearly crashing on the watch, since resetting the watch fixes the issue. If it would be an issue related to the phone-to-watch connection, nothing would work on the watch after the notifications stop working. But the Bluetooth connection still works, so this would leave either some process on the watch as the problem, or the Android Wear application on the phone which may very well be the problem too.
[Moto 360] seh6183:
Updating the phone to lollipop, adjusting notification modes, resetting the device, or deleting watch faces will not help this bug. The only thing you can do for now is swipe up to see your notifications if you hear your phone go off, or reboot the watch to start receiving notifications normally.
[Moto 360] adicool:
I have the same problem, the watch randomly stops showing notifications. I have to reboot the watch to start getting them again. One more weird problem I have been having is the screen just doesn't turn off automatically after I get a notification even with Ambient mode off.
[Moto 360] imneveral0ne:
My main problem is horrible battery life after the lollipop update. Like 8 hours and it's dead if I'm lucky. Was getting 12 hours at work and still 35 percent left after I got home. I've done a factory reset and none of my apps have changed. Just the update.
[Moto 360] felacio:
That's pretty terrible. I'm still getting 13hrs with ambient now on. I can go about 20hrs without.
[Moto 360] imneveral0ne:
I agree, not sure what to do honestly.
[Moto 360] felacio:
Well, start by just uninstalling all of your wear apps and re adding them one by one. Time consuming and tedious? Yes. But almost all diagnosis like this is.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
I unlocked the bootloader on my phone and updated it to Lollipop(my provider hasn't released it yet). Since updating the phone the watch hasn't stopped giving notifications. I firmly believe the Moto 360 5.0.1 update has issues with phones running 4.4.4(or at least some builds of 4.4.4, they aren't all the same).
[Moto 360] seh6183:
As already stated this is not true. My phone is on 5.0.1 and this bug remains. It did not happen when the watch was on 4.4.
[Moto 360] Von Ropen:
It would be interesting to know what android version you are running and what phone... So that we can speculate what is the problem...
[Moto 360] imneveral0ne:
Nexus 5 5.02
[Moto 360] Silellak:
Same problem here. This is quickly becoming unacceptable. How can anyone justify releasing an "update" to a smartwatch that breaks the core functionality of that watch, let alone doing so and offering no communication about it?

5.0 is a cluster**** in general, and this Android Wear bug is just the icing on the **** sundae.
[Moto 360] Faxman:
It seemed for the first day after update I had notification problems but it has been great since.

At 27% battery left after 17 hours with ambient on, tilt wake on, facer minimal watchface that I made. Lots of notifications and listening to audio books.

Paired with Nexus 6 Lollipop.

Maybe it is a certain app, setting or combination of the above that is causing issues.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
Finally had notifications stop working even with my phone running Lollipop. The only notifications I get are phone calls, texts from the default texting app and hangouts notifications. I don't have much installed. I may have to flash back to 4.4. I will say battery life is improved though for me with both the phone and watch running lollipop.
[Moto 360] jiv0077:
I just bought a 360 yesterday and updated to 5.01 and my battery only lasts about 3 hours. It's pretty sad and I hope a fix comes out. I may just return it tomorrow.
[Moto 360] whatnow275:
Mine did that but then i factory reset both phone and watch (flashed a new 4.4.2 rom on my lg g2). Its been a couple days and I have not had notification issues since.

On a side note, toggling notifications on and off from the watch temporarily fixed my issue, just like a reboot did.
[Moto 360] 2crazeybolt:
Ya i'm having the same issue, very frustrating. I reset everything, still nothing as good as it was before the update.
[Moto 360] mr_mitch:
Im having the same issue.

I got a new 360 on xmas day which immediately updated to updated to 5.0.1 and a new moto x 2014 which updated to android 5.0.

At least once per day my watch stops receiving notifications and I have to reboot it.

It seems to happen when i get lots of notifications in quick sucession.....

I thought these two devices would be pretty much made for each other so I'm surprised to see there is a bug.

I also kept getting "can't reach google" pop up when dictating replies but I solved that by downloading English uk pack to my phone.

Now though, sometimes it just says "sorry,that didn't work!"
[Moto 360] Ves:
You've only had it for a day or two. Did you play with it a lot because will the massive battery loss.

Give it a day or two one you've set things up.
[Moto 360] s2k848:
Moto360 is nothing more than a paperweight now. After the updates, notification stopped working and now Android Wear says it's connected to the watch but I can't make any changes or adjust the settings. I have reset the watch as well as uninstalling Android Wear.
[Moto 360] 640k:
you came here to post this?
[Moto 360] s2k848:
Yes, is this not a thread about how ****ty the new update is?
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
Yes it is, and the update does indeed suck...

btw, I still find my 360 useful but no longer have confidence in it. I was keeping my phone volume quite low knowing that if I didn't hear it I'd be notified on my watch. I can no longer count on that working.
[Moto 360] KalimochoAz:
Set theater mode OFF and all the notifications will do vibrate on your device.
[Moto 360] siddharthchatrola:
Nexus 5 + Moto 360 (No Notification)

I am also having same issue.

Phone: Nexus 5 (running android 5.0.1)

Watch: Moto 360 (running android 5.0.1)

Watch stops getting notification 4 times in a day. Android wear on phone says its connected. If you disconnect and try to reconnect again then it gets stuck in connecting.. I have to reboot my watch and then notifications starts working again.

Tried everything rebooting and resetting watch. rebooting phone, reinstalling android wear on phone and clearing cache. It still comes back after every few hours in day and only solution to get notification again is to reboot.

I tried to talk to Moto 360 customer support but they said if you already reset you watch then may be problem with nexus 5 but I don't believe that. They also said they can replace watch is I want to replace it. But I don't think replacing watch will solve this.

If anyone have solution to this please reply.
[Moto 360] fireball0093:
I've personally had no issues with the update so far besides the occasional text through hangouts not going away after I dismiss it the first time, knock on wood. I guess it might just vary. It is unfortunate to hear people are having issues, hopefully someone at Motorola sees this and works on fixing it.
[Moto 360] Div033:
I've been experiencing this issue too lately. Using a HTC One M8 with 4.4.4. Kind of makes the watch useless in all honesty. It had one job...

I'm curious if this is a bug with 5.0.1 across all watches.
[Moto 360] rdosti:
Moto 360 is known to have battery life issues on sub BT 4.0 devices. It seems the anything under the latest 4.x bluetooth devices use up a lot of battery of the watch.
[Moto 360] Paschinski:
I've only had the watch for a day but I can also confirm a problem with the notifications.

Sometimes they're coming through just fine, but most of the time there is no notification on the watch.

After some time when the next one comes in the new one is displayed and if I swype up I see the old ones too.

I can't rely on a system like this! If that issue continues I have to return the 360.

Edit: Of course I reset the watch and the connection after the Lollipo(o)p Update.

How many people that have this issue are using Facer?
[Moto 360] Drozo:
It happens with both Facer and WatchMaker, it seems to be better using motorola "original" watchfaces
[Moto 360] warwagon1979:
Ok I can now say for a fact ... everything from the battery drain issue I was having to the fact notifications would just stop, was all due to Facer. I'm now using WatchMaker, and my battery is fantastic and my notifications work great.
[Moto 360] andretan:
I recently switched to a Moto 360 and am having these issues. I am using the stock Motorola watch faces and the watch just doesn't push notifications until I restart it.

On the other hand, my LG G Watch that I was using previously did not have these issues.

Phone: LG G3 D855 (Android 5.0)

Watch: Moto 360 (Android Wear 5.0.1)
[Moto 360] warwagon1979:
Try this. When the notifications stop, Long press so the watch face selector appears then reselect the same watch face. I bet your notifications reappear.
[Moto 360] RunNgun42:
GOD DAMNIT I am still suffering this issue. I am missing so many calls and text messages because my watch is now totally unreliable. I have to keep my ****ing phone on the desk at all times and constantly check the status indicator for updates.
[Moto 360] Div033:
I've just been rebooting the watch every morning. Seems to prevent it from happening.
[Moto 360] codedeveloper:
And another one here where notifications just stopped working.

I noticed yesterday that a number of alerts on my phone hadn't appeared on the watch. So I got someone to send me a couple of hangouts messages and they didn't show up either.

Reset the watch and all started working again.

First time I've seen this particular issue. Watch and Nexus 5 both on 5.0.1.
[Moto 360] 640k:
can somebody perform a test? i have a suspicion of cause, but i need help.

when you receive a notification, and you mute it by swiping it down, do you continue to receive other notifications?
[Moto 360] Erik1805:
I have the same problem. Had to reset the watch every morning. I sent it in for repair.
[Moto 360] FallN:
I'm having the same problems.

Phones: Moto X 2nd Gen (KitKat 4.4.4)

Moto X 1st Gen (KitKat 4.4.2)

Watch: Moto 360 (Lollipop 5.0.1)

No Facer. Stock watchfaces.
[Moto 360] warwagon1979:
Next time it happens, bring up the watch face selector screen on the watch and reselect your watch face and see if your notifications reappear.
[Moto 360] o1d8oy:
I have my Moto 360 since yesterday. I also have problem with notifications. Trick with watch face selector works though.
[Moto 360] danangdevils:
I was getting the exact same issue so sent it back to Amazon. It would constantly disconnect. I'm running a Note 4 with 4.4.4.
[Moto 360] guirae:
On 5.0.1//Note 4 (4.44). Using Hangouts and I'm having the same issue. Holding down screen and clicking Facer (using a custom face) to have the notifications to pop back up is working..

Any devs have any insight or other workarounds?
[Moto 360] o1d8oy:
I've reseted the watch. Updated my rom and so far [3 days] notifications are showing again without any problems.
[Moto 360] buster19:
Hi all, it seems that notifications are comming more reliable and stable now since the last "Google Now" update (v 4.1.29.1706998) - at least this is what I've noticed here on my device. Can someone pls confirm?
[Moto 360] Success100:
just scored my 360 the other day for $130 in brand new condition and happy to report that Ive only lost notifications once since updating. though i did have an instance where the watch completely factory reset itself.
[Moto 360] wilsonliang777:
I updated all the apps n reset the 360 n notification randomly showing up. When it does show its like 30 min late. Not good. Might go back to my samsung gear live
[Moto 360] madpete:
Have to say before the update, notifications where consistent. After the update they intermittently stop working, a reboot of watch and phone fixes but I shouldn't have to be doing this.
[Moto 360] Cst79:
For those having the missing notifications problem:

It's just a huge Google stupidity, it's not really a bug.

If your notifications seem to stop working, swipe up from the watch face and your notifications (which are somehow hidden) will appear and continue working from then on, until suddenly they will disappear again and you need to swipe them up again. I'm not sure what they did but it's really stupid.

They should have already delivered an update by now. I wonder if their own employees use Android Wear, this problem should be caught by now.
[Moto 360] Faxman:
With the 5.0.2 updates rolling out hopefully this thread will become history. Fingers crossed.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
This was the case when I used 5.x on my phone. When I had 4.4.4 and the problem occurred no amount of swiping up would restore notifications, the watch had to be restarted.

I paired my Moto 360 to a different phone last night and got the update, so hopefully this "non feature" is now gone. A few days of testing should be all that is needed.
[Moto 360] Cst79:
I can sadly report that even after the Moto 360 5.0.2 update, the problem is still present (just happened to me today on both WhatsApp and Gmail notifications. Swiping up restored correct functionality).
[Moto 360] SoDroid:
This issue was not prevalent for me until 5.0.2. It happened infrequently on the previous version but now after the update it's happening a number of times per day.
[Moto 360] 640k:
so i ran in to a BIG problem where i was getting ZERO notifications after 5.0.2. I THINK it had to do with either available RAM or an app that was installed. the only change that I thought had occurred was installing UP. I seemed to be getting notifications inconsistently until 5.0.2 and then NOTHING.

I reset my watch FOUR times! I must not have reset both my phone and watch correctly because i couldn't get it to connect. However, let me tell you what I did to get notifications working again (in my case):

I uninstalled EVERY watchface app. I wasn't even using the other watchface apps, but I had WeatherFace and Specialized Face installed. I also uninstalled Swing by Swing golf app. So what I'm NOT doing is relating symptoms to problems but what I AM doing is recommending everyone attempt uninstalls of various applications.

Since, I have been getting 100% consistent notifications. So there must be some sort of app/watch combination where some shared resources are getting stepped on. We almost need a Tasker solution to really find the root cause.
[Moto 360] warwagon19792:
That's what I thought too. Which is why a month ago I created this thread

I completely agree.

I'm like just give me back 4.4 ... .everything was perfect.
[Moto 360] madpete:
Add me to the list of people suffering with this issue, everything was fine before the 5.01 update.
[Moto 360] madpete:
I've tested this on my watch now, and your right. Most of the time, swiping up fixes the issue...after an up swipe of nothing, the notifications start coming through again. Come on Google /Moto fix this!
[Moto 360] warwagon1979:
Still happening to my watch a few times a day.

I am really disliking this watch. I wish I could go back to 4.4 ... back then it was the most handy accessory ever. Now it's a unreliable piece of crap.
[Moto 360] kam1:
Moto 360 this might work for some...

This is what helped me but only following this exact order:

1. Uninstall Android Wear app and Moto Connect

2. turn bluetooth off

3. Reset the watch (Settings - reset) - not the factory reset!

4. At this point the watch should be unpaired

5. Install the Android wear app

6. turn on the bluetooth on mobile and pair the watch

7. Enter the Android wear app (you'll be promted to trun on notifications, select yes)

At this point notifications should start working

8. Install Moto Connect back (optional)

I just need to see for how long this will work... ;)
[Moto 360] Henxu:
Will try... I did resetted my moto360 and since then, working so badly with these notifications...
[Moto 360] dirtdigginjoe:
I just exchanged my Moto360 for a fried battery (Rooting jig..oops!) and it's currently on 5.0.2 with no issues. I just happened to literally check for updates 5min ago and it's downloading another update as we speak. Not sure what it's going to be just yet, but I haven't had any issues on 5.0.2 with notifications lagging/missing.
[Moto 360] spiff72:
I think the latest build is LWX49L (5.0.2)...

EDIT: Also, I think this was already mentioned in the thread, but if you are missing notifications, try swiping up from the bottom of the screen. This seems to fix it for me when it happens.
[Moto 360] Henxu:
I'm on that firmware also, and swiping up doesn't make anything at all. The solution of restarting the device and re installing wear and connect again didn't solve me anything either.

Don't know what am I going to do with this little naughty watch.
[Moto 360] madpete:
There are two issues here I think, one is that notification occasionally go missing... swiping up USUALLY fixes that but not always.

The second is that people who have upgraded to Android 5.0 will probably have noticed that its bluetooth is...well...its mental. Random disconnecting from stuff for no reason and then refusing to reconnect, and not just the 360 but anything bluetooth.

I have recently upgraded from a Note 3 to an S6 Edge, and the bluetooth is fixed... so now the 360 works most of the time.

The disappointing thing here for me is how long problem 1 has been around, and hasn't received a fix from Google.
[Moto 360] warwagon1979:
So I recently upgraded from a Moto G 1st gen to a LG G3 32GB and put CM12 on it. I did that last Wednesday and thus far my watch has not failed me once. It's been the reliable watch I remember before the Android 5.0 Watch update. I have noticed a few times the Bluetooth disconnecting. In fact the issue on CM12 was that the bluetooth would just turn off. At least the watch goes ape **** when that happens. Once you turn the bluetooth back on in the phone it connects instantly.
[Moto 360] warwagon1979:
So I was really happy with how reliable the watch had become again. That is until recently. Now my watch buzzes with a notification and sometimes not. When it buzzes it doesn't show it. I have to swipe up from the middle of the screen. That turns the notifications on for just a little while then they start hiding again
[Moto 360] madpete:
Yeah annoying isn't it... and WAY over due for a fix.
[Moto 360] lilmikey201:

[Moto 360] neoshi:
Odd implementation.... On my HTC M8 with 5.0.1, if I silent my phone, which it has been since the day I got the 360, I STILL get all notifs on the watch. Does this have to do with the launchers from each manufacturer rather than the base 5.0.1?
