Issues when receiving notifications
Different versions of Android handle notifications differently. For example, with Android version 4.3 and higher notifications may be removed or updated automatically.

Issues with 3rd party communication applications (call, text messaging, etc.)
3rd party voice and VoIP client applications, other than your Android phone’s default voice call application, are not supported by the smartwatch. The Qualcomm Toq team is currently investigating ways to support more voice applications.
Some 3rd party messaging applications other than your Android phone’s default messaging application may not be supported by the smartwatch under its factory settings. If this is the case, the messaging application can be added to the list of apps that you would like to receive notifications from, in the Preferences Menu in the Toq App on your phone. The content of the text message may or may not be visible in the notification depending on whether or not the 3rd party messaging application shares this information.

If the indicator light is a flashing red do the following:
Remove the smartwatch from the charger.
Plug the charger into a different outlet. If using USB, try another USB port followed by an outlet.

If after attempting the above the flashing light continues, please contact customer care.

Smartwatch screen is too dark

Make sure the smartwatch is fully charged.
When using the smartwatch in a darker environment where the display is harder to see, turn on the frontlight by double-tapping the Light touch sensor (located on the watch band above the screen).
The frontlight can be turned off by double-tapping the Light touch sensor again.
