No Notifications when Note 4 Power Saving Mode is on

[godzillinois]

I decided to try and use the Power Saving mode on my Note 4 for the first time today (I've only previously used Ultra Power saving mode, and that was way before I got my Neo) and noticed that I wasn't getting any notifications on my Gear 2 Neo. Even when I unchecked the "Restrict Background Data" box I still didn't get any, it was only after I turned off PSM that my notifications started coming through.

Anyone else notice this or know a way to still use Power Save mode and get notifications?

Is your BT enabled and working after you go into Power Saving Mode? According to the description only Ultra Power Saving should disable radios though...

yeah my Bluetooth was enabled, I was talking about Power saving mode and not Ultra - but the same problem comes with Ultra Power Saving mode (which I assumed would.) I have to reset my watch and my phone to get it to start working again. There goes using PSM to help with the battery drain from adding the Neo in the mix :/

I noticed that I'm not the only one that has had this problem (http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/398560-notifications-not-appearing-since-using-ultra-power-save-mode.html) anyone know if there is a way to fix this? I want to at least be able to get notifications when using Power saving Mode, I can do without Ultra Power saving Mode.
