I have a query regarding my watch pro. when the cmf app is open watch works well after clearing recent apps from the phone watch disconnects. so again I have...

yap agree still like no change, it’s going to disconnect

the whatsapp and other apps except imessages notification on iphone didn’t appear on the watch

Unfortunately, the problem persists.

The solution I have found is to block the app from running in the background and it has worked well.

Razor_Mike Do you mean lock the app in the background? The only way it has worked for me is to lock it in the “Recently Opened” apps tray in the background. I use a Samsung Galaxy phone.

do we know if this problem is actually being looked at?

Derren I think it’s just about having feature where we can lock our background apps on our nothing phones and the notifications will come fine after that.

I think there are more issues also, not only being forced to have the app opened in order to receive notifications. There another things that should be easily handled. For example:

I’m receiving a notification when I’m receiving a WhatsApp message on a muted channel. If I have the channel muted, why on earth should I receive a notification??? It’s really stupid.
After checking the notification in the phone, I still need to go to the watch and remove the notification. That’s also really bad. The watch should know that this notification doesn’t exists anymore in the mobile and remove it!!

Another thing I would like to mention is why there isn’t any swimming activity in the Watch?? There are super strange sports but not swimming when the watch is water resistant, why??

Really this watch and its software is really far away of being a beta version.

Last version of fw and app here, on Pixel 6. About once in day the app is closed by Android and the connection is lost. I’ve set everything in the right way, and Pixel phones do not have a way to “fix” an app in the recent apps list. I hope this issue will be fixed asap, it’s the only problem I can see with this, otherwise, amazing product.

When playing music through Spotify, changing the volume using the volume controls on the watch don’t lead to a change in volume of the phone.

But the same works when the app is running in the foreground. As soon as i exit the app (please note that the app is running in the background and haven’t been cleared from the RAM), it stops working again. Has anyone encountered this problem?

I’m currently running V11.0.0.50

2024 end of january and still no fix for this…

nothing phone 1, on latest fw,
watch on latest firmware,
App updated..
yet it wont stay connected after a couple of minutes when the app is not in foreground!
all battery optimisations or restrictions for the cmf app are disabled…
FIX THIS… a smartwatch that cant stay smart unless you literally use the device it was meant to support, is not a smartwatch.. just a paperweight

I’ve had it for 5 days. I can return it (not later than 25.february) i will wait for them to fix this issue if it will not be fixed before 25.feb i will return this shit.

CarlosSilva_9lceS4tLFF

Same issue here, the watch won’t stay connected if I’m not using the app activelly.

I’ve been waiting for one solution but my return period is ending so I’m sending it back.

Sadly!

Have same problem as well. Staying on my Galaxy watch 4 until it not be fixed.

same issue, noth phone 2, watch pro cmf, updated everything, i cant block app in the backround like on other androids and by mistake i clear all and it closes app, after that it is history…

new both devices…i m kinda sad now

P_tur_orm_sson

I have returned my watch. Thanks for “Nothing”!

Only paperweight and they are not listening to us… really bad customer service!

Just going to throw my two cents into the ring, same issue here. I have the Nothing Phone 2 and just got the Watch Pro. Seems to work fine as long as I don’t shut the app down in the background, else constantly have to have it open as per the screenshot.

And yes, the background running permission is enabled.

After Checking this forum, I’m going to have to send this back as it seems a long standing issue. Real shame as I like the design and obviously was on board to invest in the Nothing / CMF brand after loving the NP2. Seems like the watch has been a public beta test?

Ash App locking in Recent task manager is not available for nothing phone how to lock the app in recent task manager..?

WaschBaer

kinda sad that nothing ignores such a crucial issue and dosent even give a single statement abut it…

Got mine Cmf watch pro. The application problem is still relevant. When on other phones you can use a crutch and forcefully pin the application in the background, then on Nothing phone You can’t even do that. I would like to have a seamless ecosystem nothing. But here even the application with its own phone cannot work properly. Could you implement all the functionality in the very nothing os, so that everything works smoothly and seamlessly.

Hi all,

I got myself a Nothing phone (2) and watch pro over the weekend. I noticed if I closed the CMF app, no notifications came through to the watch. Only calls I think showed up. But if I opened the app and left it open in the background, it stays connected.

No really an issue for me to do that and I’ve not notice it depleat my battery. It’s not ideal, but it’s shocking to see this hasn’t been resolved since when this thread started in October! 😬
