Vivoactive 4 cannot stop notifications!!

Former Member over 4 years ago

I have just bought a Vivoactive 4. Had a bit of trouble getting the watch to pair to the connect app on iPhone but it worked eventually after restoring everything back to factory settings.

the problem I’m now having is I have no control over what notifications I receive on the watch! I select to receive calls only but I still get messages through.

I then changed the settings on my iPhone & in connect app to not receive any notifications. But again they keep coming through!! I’ve syncd the watch etc also.

only way it seems to stop tn is to delete the notification app in the settings on the actual watch. Shame as I’d still like to receive phone calls on it.

anyone else had this issue or know a solution?

Update - I got used to the lack of control over notifications but the longer I wore the watch I found more gripes. The gesture action used to activate the screen backlight seems to have a mind of its own. Coming on at ease sometimes, and others not coming in at all. This is regardless of what I’ve got my sleep times set at in the user settings...

Now...on the sleep front. For a watch with so many settings, and sit nearly £300, it didn’t seem to know when I was asleep! To begin with it seemed ok.. but then I’d check later in the day and it would have added an hour into my sleep, but for the period I was driving my car to work it was definitely not asleep! I began to also wear my Girlfriends FITBIT to bed and found the farm is sleep accuracy to be massively out! I’d rarely picked up on the various stages of sleep, I.e. rem, light, deep. At first glance when I wake up the total hours sleep wasn’t too far apart from the Fitbit, but as I check back to the app latter in the morning it would have added time onto my sleep.. I’m talking hours not just minutes.

also found the god not to be very accurate. On a run it showed some of my route but the rest of it went in the opposite direction to that I actually ran

at that point I had enough! I took the watch back and got a refund. Was pretty gutted as I really liked the look of the watch and some of its functions.But it’s frustrating and a shame Garmin can’t it it right.. even slightly more accuracy and I’d of put up with it. Surely it must only be something software, an update a new algorithm could rectify???

maybe in the future I’d try Garmin again but we will have to see.
