Hello all
I bought my wife a Garmin Vivoactive 3 watch and ran into a problem.
Vivoactive 3 did not receive notifications from the Honor 9 smartphone.
In Google and on the forums I found only a description of the problem, with no solutions. There were only complaints that smart notifications do not work with Honor 8, Honor 9 and some other models.
Removing and installing Garmin Connect Mobile, resetting the clock to factory settings, changing the settings in the clock, and changing the permissions for the application on the phone did not solve the problem.
I have a Garmin Foreruner 935 TRI watch and a Honor 10 mobile phone. Smart notifications work without problems from any applications and incoming calls.
I connected my wife's watch (Vivoactive 3) to my mobile and the notifications immediately started working. So I made sure that it was not the watch, but the wife’s smartphone or some settings.
I began to compare ALL the settings on both phones and was able to find the setting that is responsible for receiving smart notifications.
In order to allow smart notifications, go to the settings section:
Settings -> Apps and Notifications -> Apps -> Settings -> Special Access -> Notifications Access
Enable notifications for Connect (Smart Notifications)
Done, smart notifications work!!!
