New Wyze Band notification issues

[Whiteseltom]

Is anyone else having issues getting the phone calls and text messages notifications permissions to turn on? Everytime I try to turn then on, I get a message saying… These permissions will be turned on when Google play grants permission.
It’s funny, I have gone through as much as I can find and every thing else will turn on.
I am using Samsung Galaxy s8+ with latest Android version, it’s just phone calls and text messages that will not turn on. I have tried auto and manual setup and nada.

Hi, @Whiteseltom! See my post below on this notification issue.

Wyze Band Not Showing Phone Call Notifications >> SOLVED

If you’re interested in using the Beta app it will correct the phone and text notifications problem. I’m using Android and one thing that’s going to make a big difference is the app version. I am currently running Beta app 2.10.32 and it works great with the Band. Those that are using the production app will not have the same experience. They can either switch to the Beta app or sit tight until this app is fully released in the near future. For non-beta app members, if you are interested in…

Ok, my question for you now is… If I switch to the beta version, how much messing around do I have to do with the rest of the gear I have? How do u switch and why the hell would Wyze put a product out that isn’t 100%? I read someone with a s10+ just went in and turned everything on manually and it worked, but that’s not the case for me.

To access the Android Beta app, go to the Google play store and search for Wyze labs, scroll down a bit and tap on join the Beta. Then you can update to the latest Beta App. You can switch back to the production app anytime.

After you install the Beta app tap Band notifications in the Wyze app and allow the notifications you want to send to the Wyze Band. You should be set!

Hey StopICU33, I went ahead and switched and it’s working so far. Thanks for the help.
