Slow notifications from 640 XL to the Band (2)

[poit57]

When I first got my Band back in March, I was borrowing a Lumia 920 because my phone was broken. Around the end of August, I got a 640 XL. I've been noticing that notifications to my Band (and now my new Band 2) have been very slow recently. I'm not sure if I noticed the change when I switched phones, or if the slow notifications started when I was still using my cousin's 920.

For the first several months I had the Band, I would feel the phone vibrate in my pocket when receiving a text. The notification would then show up on the Band in about the time it took to lift my arm and look at my wrist. Now, it seems like there is usually about a 10-15 second delay before the Band displays the message. I've also noticed that when I receive phone calls, I don't receive the notification from the Band until I've missed the call and it goes to voicemail or several seconds after I've answered the phone call.

Again, even after getting the Band 2 over the weekend and syncing it with my 640 XL, I'm noticing the same issue with slow notifications. Has anyone else noticed this issue with the 640 XL being slow to communicate with the Band compared to other phone models?

I had the Band v1 with an L830 and then with the L640XL. I did not notice a difference between the two phones on 8.1 Update 2.
I remember when I went to Lowes to buy something over $500 and while the sales person charged my CC I got a text message on my Band 2 seconds later (that was actually spooky). I do not remember it slowing down over time on either the L830 or L640XL.

That is a different story for latest W10M. However, I do not have a comparison with another phone on W10M.

Thanks for the reply. For the record, I'm still on 8.1 Update 2 with my 640 XL.
