LG Urbane 2 LTE (AT&T) w/NumberSync
Samsung S7 (AT&T)
After 2 weeks I fee like NumberSync and AndroidWear is a ****show. The core features I want from a smartwatch and NumberSync simply don't work. Phone calls - as near as I can tell work - SMS/Text messages - not so much. Inbound text messages rarely, but occasionally, show up on the watch. I can usually, but not always, send txt message from the watch. SMS conversations are not in any way 'synced' between the phone and watch. SMS worked as I expected (conversations mirrored between phone and watch) on my Moto360 sport.
GPS / Running etc - again - it is a total crapshoot what will or won't work on any given run. Sometimes, Google Fit works fine though GPS lock takes a while (I can live with that). Too often I'll head out after getting a GPS lock and look at the watch after 5 - 10 minutes and none of the running metrics (Steps, distance, pace) are updated - they all say '0' or '0.00' or '0'00'. However, once the data eventually syncs up to Google Fit the running metrics (time, distance, pace) will show up.
Step counting - again - totally random. For example this morning I finished my run with 5500 steps registered on the watch. After my shower I looked on Google Fit on my phone and it showed 3300 steps. I have activity tracking disabled on my phone.
This is all so maddening. Am I expecting too much? I want to get phone calls on my phone and/or my watch. I want text messages mirrored to both devices. I want the watch's basic fitness tracking to just work. Arrgh.
At this point I'm naively hoping AW2.0 may fix some or, dare-to-dream, most of these issues. If it doesn't I may pull the SIM out of the watch and just use it as a regular AW device.
TLDR - LGU2 and ATT NumberSync doesn't sync. No SMS alerts on the phone, SMS activity not synced. Any ideas? TIA!
