Got a brand new Gear Fit and got it updated with Gear Manager v1.67.0523 and attached to a VZW Galaxy S5. For some reason I don't get any notifications, no alarms, no emails, no missed calls, nothing. Is there something I am missing?
You do have gear fit manager? Are notifications turned on in the app? Is the fit and phone paired?

Hi!
My gear fit has some problems with notifications on Facebook messenger. If i receive a new message, the watch doesn't vibrate and screen stays off.
If i look in the notifications menu on the watch, the facebook messenger icon appears and i can See the notification. So the watch receives the notification but doesnt alert me..
All other App-Notifications and alerts work perfectly.
Anyone with the same issue?

After tried almos everything i've found solution for whatsupp notifications:
You have to set vibrate instead of "default" to "short" inside whatsup, this makes gear fit vibrate when it get notification and the mobile vibrates as well correctly. If set as mine in silent mode it doesn't vibrate but gearfit does as it should be
Maybe facebook messenger app have this kind of settings to override android general notifications system.

This drives me crazy...both whatsapp and Facebook messenger disregard device notification setup (silent, vibrate) and you have to change them in app manually every time for each app. This it so stupid, how can they be made to follow the current device notification profile?
Hi,
On monday I was able to receive notifications for messages. Today I noticed that I didn't receive any messages on my Gear S.
When I check the "notifications" tab on my Gear Manager app, I can't see the "Messages" app in the list.
How can I solve this ?
Thanks.

This happened to me after I set up Milk music. I uninstalled Milk then reset watch and the messages appeared again in notifications. Using restore feature did'nt work, had to setup watch again like new. Everything else I tried wouldn't bring back messages in notifications..
I had to reset as well.
it is a real pain. Samsung should solve this bug...
I'm not sure what happened to mine but late last evening during the course of normal day to day with both my Note 3 and my Gear S, the Gear S decided not to receive text messages any longer. Rebooted both devices, no go. Restored my Gear, no go. This morning I'm in the midst of a full restore from scratch to see if that fixes it. Hmmm.
I'm using the Verizon messages + app. The gear is lighting up with the notification but not vibrating or ringing. It is working for other notifications. Resetting the gear and not restoring didn't fix. Any suggestions?

So I ended up buying the Gear S after having tried both the Gear 2 and the Gear Live and was fully aware that Samsung made it tough as possible to reply to SMS from the watch unless you use the stock messaging app on your phone (which blows). Does anyone have any advice on the best way to use the Gear S to respond to texts without using S Voice or the stock app. I currently use either Hangouts or Google Messenger and am happy to use pretty much anything other than stock.
Thanks in advance

There is an app for that! lol
In all seriousness tho, if you read the apps section you will see a beta in the works and there is another app in the google play store (yes the google play store) Its called notifications for gear s and it allows you to reply to all incoming notifications I believe.

Hello,
I'm currently using a Samsung Gear Fit connected to a Huawei Ascend Mate 7. It works perfectly (except the obvious non-Samsung phone limitations) although I can't get the stock SMS messaging app (I'm currently using SMS through Hangouts as a workaround, but I'd like to be able to use the default messaging app...) to display notifications to the Gear Fit as well as the stock Email app as they both do not appear in the apps list (in any section) in the Gear Fit Manager app. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Does anyone know how to solve it?
Since the last Samsung Gear S upgrade a number of months ago, I have had the ability to reply to text messages using the Verizon Message+ App with my Gear S. I could dismiss or reply to my texts until they were read on my phone. Then about 2 weeks ago, I used the stock app to send a text message and I lost the ability to reply. It might be unrelated, but now I can only dismiss. I can reply on all my other apps but not texts with message+. Any ideas? I have uninstalled updates and tried to reset settings. No go. Really want it back. I might reinstall the whole phone unless someone can give a setting to change or another idea.
I have a gear 2 and never got the verizon messages+ app to work with my gear 2 and note 4. Did you every have any luck with that? I really like being able to quick reply on my wrist so I switched to the samsung messages app but definitely prefer the verizon messages+ app. I would like to hear if you found a way to get verizon messages+ working with the quick reply. Love my gear 2 gold with a 12 dollar ebay gold colored metal band. Thanks!
I'm in the same boat people. I have a Gear S and a Note 5 and really badly want to be able to use the Verizon Message+ app on the watch and have them sync up, but as of right now, I can only compose new messages from my watch, but I don't receive the incoming ones, or have any reply ability.
@jedi you say it used to work flawlessly before some update? Any luck talking with Samsung about it? or Verizon?
Hoping we can figure this out.
