Gear S2 Classic not vibrating

[Jeff Allen1]

This was working for a day or two but now my Gear S2 will not vibrate for notifications. It will vibrate when I go into the vibration settings but no vibration for notifications.

I just did a factory reset and ... nothing. Is this my 3rd faulty Samsung device (Gear S, Gear S2, Galaxy S6) since the beginning of October?

Probably a silly question, but have you gone into settings on Gear app and turned on the notifications you want to receive?

Yes and yes. Only factory reset combined with uninstall./reinstall of Gear manager app solved it.

Make sure your "block notifications" is not on. When you swipe down the screen, it's the one in the middle (where you can see whether is paired with bluetooth, adjust light settings, etc).
