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?

I have recently purchased an S3 and I am quite happy with it except it is showing one unread message and when you open messages there is not any unread messages.
I have managed to clear it by rebooting my phone and then when I receive another SMS it goes back one unread even though I have read.
How do I clear this annoyance.

Are you using the stock messaging app? I bet you're not... If you have a third-party SMS app, the stock messaging app will continue to register and notify about new messages received, even if they've been read in the third-party app.
To resolve this, just switch off notifications in the stock messaging app.
This is a bug in the firmware, it has been fixed you just need to wait for the OTA to be pushed to your phone

No. This is a problem with some S3s. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705015
My colleague had this issue and I played around with it on Friday without success but she says that the issue was resolved on Friday and she has received several messages and calls but the 1 is not stuck on the icon after reading the message anymore. I am at a loss as to what I did...

I have the same problem, but i think that is because the bubbles are open, if i close the bubbles from messenger app, the notifications work

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?
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
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.

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)?
