Hi Garmin Support team,
I’m experiencing an issue with my Forerunner 265s since updating to software bundle 25.06 [DFU-5e6810].
Smart notifications from texts and apps arrive correctly and appear in the widget glance, but the watch no longer vibrates when they come through.
Incoming call alerts still vibrate normally.
Vibration motor works fine when tested via Settings → System → Sounds → Vibration → Test Vibration.
I’ve confirmed:
• Vibration = On / High intensity
• Tone & Vibration enabled in Notifications
• Battery Saver and Do Not Disturb off
• All permissions granted in Garmin Connect
• Re-paired device through Garmin Connect (not Bluetooth menu)
• Soft and factory reset both completed
This suggests the vibration trigger for smart notifications may not be firing correctly in firmware 25.06.
Could you please confirm if this is a known issue, and if a fix or patch is in progress?
Device: Forerunner 265s
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S24 (Android 14)
Garmin Connect App: latest version
Thanks very much — happy to provide logs if needed.
