I had a Sony SmartWatch 2 but now I have LG G Watch. There are a lot differences but some are almost critical for me, can somebody help me?
Mainly, on SW2 I could run application (Gmail, SMS...) and browse messages but on LG G Watch I can go into the messages only if I have some new. Are there any application like Gmail and SMS which I can use to read older messages?
Next, I can respond to the message but cannot create new one. Yes, I can say "send text to..." but I use czech names and it is impossible to tell the names that way let LG understand. The same with calling, are there any applications where I can browse contacts and send them a SMS or make a call?
Few information... On SW2 I can put a lot of widgets to the screen and I have a knowledge about everything, here I see only the last notification and I have to scrool to the older notifications. Are some watches with additional info?
Generally applications, I start navigation from the phone and mute it later, I cannot get the app back. Or I missing something?
I love the LG G Watch but I miss this usages, can you help me?
Thanks
I have also an SW2 and an Lg G-Watch.
The notification system is very very.... bad on Wear but you can not do anything at this time.
And very often when have many notification for mail for example the notification go out on the watch after et while and also on phone notification bar, so yo can not know that you have received notification.
On SW2 you NEVER miss any notification and this stay always on the watch. Very very .... big problem on Wear, hope it solve nearly

Hi Folks. First of all, I'm new here. I just created a profile to suggest you the following:
Pushbullet; it's an app that allows you to send and receive notifications, links, files, etc, between devices.
So, I was thinking if maybe somebody knows a way around to use this app as a substitute for the Osmart Companion, that doesn't work so well and also depends completely on bluetooth. I'm using it right now to manually send stuff from my smartphone to the TrueSmart, but I just found out that Pushbullet now supports Tasker integration, what makes me think that, if you know how, it is possible to create a profile on Tasker that allows you to automatically send a notification to your TrueSmart whenever you receive a SMS, for example.
However, despite being a huge fan of android and apps in general, my programming skills sucks really bad, even at Tasker, which I guess must be programming for beginners.
Has anyone already tried to do something related? Please let me know.
Thanks!
I haven´t try that app, but I´m using 'Notisync' and, at least for me and until now, it´s working. The only one thing I don´t have got: automatically unlock the screen (I´m using Oclock) and show a window with the notification content in. For this, I´m using 'Notify me!' app. It turns on the screen, but not unlock it (it only shows the notification content if the screen is already on). I continue investigating .
I hope this helps someone.

I have tried many apps and so far at least this one tells me when someone is calling, i cant get it to alert me of texts though, i use hangouts as my text service default app but i even tried the standard messages app and it still doesnt allow the texts to go through, did you have to do anything special for the texts?
as for pushbullet i started messing with it the other day but all it does it notify my watch that theres a message waiting on my phone i still need to look at the phone to see/reply to the message.
figured out a way with pushbullet and tasker to show who the text is from and what the message said, now if only there was a way to reply

I don´t use SMS and never try that. But I tried an app called 'Tablet talk' that can syncronize SMS and phone calls (even when you receive phone call, it shows a window showing the contact photo and bottons to interact with that call). I configured the phone as 'phone' and the watch as 'tablet'. The problema I had was the same: it doesn´t unlock the Oclock screen.

Yeah i've been a user of tablet talk for a while and it is a good app just looking for others since i dont like always having to reconnect them together.
Hey everyone,
I contacted the developers of Push Bullet a few weeks ago when I got my TS. He indicated that it was a space they wanted to occupy for wearables and tablets. They have a number of things they're rolling out for their primary app first, but it's on the slate for the future.

how did you guys get it to install? Side load? It wont let me install from the play store since it says it is incompatible with device. I love pushbullet, and would love to use it with the TS
Yeah side loaded from dropbox.
sent from my note 3 running beans.
For sms I have been using google voice, hangouts and the XVoice+ Xposed plugin. here's how it works:
1) I have moved most people to use mt GV number to reach me as I have several PH numbers so step one is socialize the GV ph number.
2) XVoice+ forces all sms through the google voice app
3) in the google voice app > Settings > Sync and Notifications set recieve text messages to "via the messaging app.
4) if you want to use hangouts go through the steps to make it the default SMS/MMS client otherwise you can use what ever SMS app you want.
default result is I get the same conversation on my phone as on my PC as on my watch. For me this works out well.. the only issues i have are broadcast messages that are short message based like twitter to sms. Google Voice will not support these messages.

thanks for the response, was hoping to get updates via the playstore. Oh well, off to find an apk on google search!
glad to hear it works fone on the TS though!
i have an htc one m7. everything seems to work fine with watch and phone, i'm using google hangouts for my texts. problem is none of them are showing up on the watch. well one did tonite, but thats been it. i was running skyvi so messages would show up on phone screen, and the g watch messages worked then, only problem was that on the watch when the messages showed up thru skyvi on the watch, when it said "tap here to reply" nothing would happen. so i deleted skyvi and like i said now i get nothing. i reset the watch, re-paired it. and nothing worked. any ideas? also anyone else finding the g watch is a tremendous drain on the phone battery. i barely use it during the day and by 1 or 2 i'm down to 55% power on the phone.
Make sure to set notifications in Hangouts to vibrate.
Thanks Devs, from my LG G2

Shouldn't need to...I don't have mine set to vibrate and I get all my Hangouts notifications
I have also noticed a large drain on my phone battery, much more than with my Pebble. But there is nothing abnormal in the battery stats, at all. No strange wakelocks, nothing.
HELP! hangouts sms problems

i have the factory version of hangouts on my htc one m7 if i send a text to myself. i get it on the phone, but nothing on the watch. if i switch text apps to something like textra and turn on augmented smartwatch pro, the texts come thru on the watch, but with the little icon of augmented smartwatch pro. BUT i cant voice reply to any sms since i am not using hangouts. any ideas how to fix hangouts so the texts come thru on the watch? ive called LG and no luck. and htc just tells me i cant delete hangouts from the phone, if i try, it always replaces it with the factory version.

Are you updating Hangouts to the most recent version? I wouldn't expect the factory version to do anything... Wear didn't exist back then. Also, when you're sending yourself a text... Be sure you either turn off the phone display or exit out of Hangouts before the text is received. Otherwise the watch won't alert you to something that's right in front of your face anyway.

thanks to someone here who mentioned GoSMS. its configured for android wear and lets you send voice replies like google hangouts. so that solved the problem. who needs hangouts anyway
I was on the fence of getting a Gear S because I primarily use hangouts (SMS integrated) as my primary messaging platform. I was aware I'd be able to receive messages on my watch, but not be able to respond. However upon getting my watch and setting it up. I got a hangouts message, swiped to the left, clicked the three dots.. To my surprise I had the option to REPLY or DISMISS. Replying works fantastic with either the preset messages, keyboard, or voice input, and SENDS THE MESSAGE OVER DATA! ( Not even SMS.) This is absolutely fantastic. I figured I'd post this here because I was looking tirelessly for concrete evidence on this before making my purchase and was unable to find any. It's also worth nothing, that if i dismiss the message from my phone, I lose the ability to reply to it from my watch.
I'm not using Gear S Notification extender app either, it's working natively.

Yes, viber and whatsapp work as well.. The only con would be that you can't initiate a new message from the watch like messages.. Also in viber notification, it allows to reply only the first time you see it.. Next time it shows only dismiss option..
I've noticed that i can ONLY reply if i have Android Wear installed also. I don't even have to open it, just have it installed. If I remove it, I lose the functionality to reply.
Good to know! I was using Gear Notification Extender (got my Gear S Thursday) but didn't like how it labeled everything as GNE. I look forward to using this. Now if I could just get the Gear S to last me a full 24 hours...
Great! Thanks for posting this. Some Google apps play nice with Samsung features.

Thanks for this info. I installed Andriod Wear and now I have the reply functionality for hangouts which I did not have prior to doing so.
Would anyone know how to get email notifications over 3g while the watch is "Remotely Connected" to a phone (Note 5 in my case)?
My moto notifications are not long enough - just what words fit on the little card. A friend with an Asus watch running android wear can double tap his cards and scroll down to read the entire email or whatever notification it is. I can't get this to work on my moto 360. What am i doing wrong. I have worn a pebble for years and all notifications are pretty much completely displayed. What good does it do to see you have an email if you still have to open your phone to read it.
I use eNotify for this - allows you to tap on an email notification on your watch and expand it to read the entire email:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hermes.enotify
Blocked notifications from my main email app (MailDroid) and use this for dealing with emails on my watch. Takes a little setting up, but well worth it.
I believe K9 for Wear offers similar features, but I preferred eNotify after trying both. For SMS I use Textra.
Dear all:
I just bought an AmazFit Bip and despite the watch is really good, i have an issue with the notifications.
I have tested the following issue with both MIFIT and NOTIFY & FITNESS apps from Google play.
The issue is that for most applications ( whataspp and others) when i receive a notification on the phone ,it sends it to the watch....... This is ok but, instead of simply receiving that notification on the watch, the watch start to show OLD notifications ( up to 6 ro 7) before showing the current one.
I have a samsung s8 Plus and I have disabled the "app monitor" to avoid the system killing the application in the background but it does nothing....
Similar behavior with the Notify & Fitness app.... Any Idea why this is happening..... Thanks
It's not just me! I just started wearing my Bip today and the notifications were driving me crazy. I'm running Oreo on an Asus ZenFone 3 so it's not a Samsung-related problem. I'm hoping it's a bug in MiFit that might be fixed in a future release.
Same here as well. This causes me to grab my phone and address or dismiss notification right away so I don't have to keep receiving them on the Bip everytime I get a new notification on the phone. Pretty annoying indeed. Fingers crossed that it will be addressed.
God, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. When you have multiple people messaging at once you CAN'T turn them off because it won't let you on the DND screen. It just vibrates for minutes... .Crazy. Hopefully they fix this.
Thanks God I am not the only one..... This was driving me crazy... Please HELPPPPPP
Yes its iritating..does anyone ever look "tools and amazfit" on playstore? It looks promising
Turn off app and SMS notifications in Mi Fit and use the free Alert Bridge app from the Play Store instead. It's much more customizable than Mi Fit and works perfectly.
Hi all.... It seems that with Alert Bridge app. the situation was resolved for some hours...... However now every time I receive a notification, the watch shows first the previous notifications received ......... before it shows the latest notification..
I do not understand why the watch cannot show only the latest notification received......
PLEASE HELP
Hello
Here my findings over the last few days...
I have an Samsung S8 Plus. What I have done is to deactivate all application notifications in the mifit and start monitoring each of them individually
1.) Whatapp is a mess and does not work with MIFIT . Instead use AlerBridge
2.) the application MESSAGING ( SMS) from Samsung should be deactivated from the MIFIT application. Use the Messaging from MIFIT app, but do not activate messaging in the app list.... This created a lot of issues and double text to me.
Since the last 2 days, it is working for me with almost no issues.
hope it helps

IMO Nofity and Fitness APP does a better job than MI Fit on everything. I completely uninstalled MI Fit app.

I think you need to unbind it in the mifit app and rebind it with the new one.

Since i don't use the Mi fit app anymore, i am not sure, but i remember that there is an option in the menu, to remove the watch from the app, OR you have to click in the menu on the watch and then remove it.
After that, in the N&F app, click on the Repair iin the menu.
Based on the OP description, I think I have a slightly different problem and wonder if anyone else has my problem. I don't receive old notifications again, but it will notify me "endlessly" (it eventually stops, but not with consistency). It usually happens with Hangouts and most often when I have multiple Hangouts messages that aren't dismissed or the notifications read. It's more common with group threads, but definitely happens with one unread, undismissed message notification that is a single person (not group thread). I usually have to both dismiss the notification and mark it as read, and then I'll be able to scroll to the Clear button, though I still have to scroll past the same problem message 10+ times before I can get to it. I can't usually reach the Clear option when this occurs without doing those two things. It isn't every time, but is very annoying and happens often enough to be very irritating. Does this happen to anyone?
I'm on a Pixel 2 running 8.1. Not everyone mentioned their OS, but it seems that Oreo has been common to those noting problems in this thread so far.

Yup, I have exactly the same issue. OnePlus 5 running custom ROM (Oreo). I am going to try the BridgeAlert app.
Does anyone else with a Pixel 2, has the same issue that I have regarding the "hang up" call button doing the same thing as "ignore" when on an incoming call?

Do you have Oreo on phone? It seems to be related to Oreo, check other threads about the same issues, not only using BIP but Pace/Stratos too.
