Hello,
Is there a configuration that I need to enable to open up text and email messages? Currently my watch shows the notifications and when I scroll from right to left it only gives me the option to "open on phone" and "block app". For example, for text messages, I would get a "New Message" notification, but I don't have any option to open the message in my watch. Thanks for any help.
What messaging app are you using? I think only certain ones are supported I use 8sms

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 and was using the Samsung messaging app. I tried Go SMS Pro and it shows the notifications as an attachment. I tried turning off MMS and it still comes through as attachments. Thanks.
I use the Messenger app by Google and Gmail app and I am able to read all of my messages on my watch and reply by voice.
Wear messenger is really pretty cool. I bought it for 1.45$ from the play store. It comes with 2 different kinds of keyboards and allows you to reply back directly from the watch.

just use hangouts. i had a friend with a gear live and g watch and her gs4 would not work with stock texting. even the google messenger wouldn't allow her to reply by voice. only hangouts.

Tried searching around for a bit, couldn't find what I'm looking for, so here goes (If there is a thread that I couldn't find, I do apologize...)
Second day using the DNA (unrooted). Aside from a few customization issues (compared to my RAZR), i.e. the wallpaper setting annoyance, the only other thing that's bothering me is the Messages stock app. I truly don't like that it has the "all messages" style, showing my Voicemails with my text messages. I have a separate Voicemail app that came stock, why do I need to see them in two separate places? Very minor issue, I know haha, but it's frustrating to me.
Anyways, here's my question: Is there a setting that I'm missing where you can set the Messages app to automatically open to the SMS/MMS tab instead of All Messages? Or should I just go ahead and disable the Messages app and download Handcent or another texting app?
The voicemail app is the messaging app. They are the sane app. If you click the voicemail icon in the app drawer it'll open the voicemail tab in the messaging app. And no, there is no way to open the smsmms tab by default.

Booo. I just noticed that the voicemail icon opens up the same thing lol. That's lame. Guess I'm gunna install a different messaging app :/
Hi,
Have the G Watch paired with my G3. I'm using the stock text app on the phone.
Texts comes in perfectly fine on the watch, but I don't see an option to reply. If I swipe right, I only get the option to show on device. Is this something only supported if I use Hangouts as my text app?
I think you have to use Google hangouts as the default messaging app on the phone to reply to texts. Could be wrong though.

Hangouts is fully supported. Other SMS and IM apps need to be updated by the devs to support Android Wear

8sms is also supported
Evolve sms also supports it

Thanks all. I'm using the G3 and am fine with the stock messaging app. I may just switch to hangouts for this.
GO SMS also supports but only a dictated reply.
I'd like to able to use some canned replies myself.
Does anyone know if this is supported by the other SMS apps?

Hangouts allows me to use pre-scripted text, and I can voice dictate text messages as well.
How do you do prescripted text messages? Currently when I get a text message the only options I get at "Yes" or "No" and or I can dictate. I'd like to have a "Driving now but I'll get back to you soon" message or a "oh that's interesting" or "awesome!" along with some of my other favorite ones like:
"dude that's messed up"
"She did???"
"It's not my baby!"
"Interesting, tell me more"
"who this?"
"I'm totally paying attention to you"
Yeah, there's not even an "LOL" on the Hangout canned responses. Lame.
There's someone working on canned responses over here, but I have seen any activity lately, and it never worked on my watch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/themes-apps/wip-android-wear-canned-responses-t2825506
I'm using Quick Texts which is canned responses in Go SMS. You can create as many of these as you like too.

I am using the minuum keyboard along with wear messenger to respond to texts/gmails/hangouts. I tried the keyboard on the wear browser, but I didn't like it much.
Contacts+ allows for voice reply
On my Pebble i was running Glance, Had 16 responses to choose from, Would be great to have something with similar functionality on Android Wear

Exactly, I like the fact that we have some quick replies in there already but it would be nice to be able to edit them. I don't even think "LOL" is one of them, they have "hehe" but no "LOL"!
I really don't want to type text messages on my phone, the voice dictation thing works pretty well but sometimes I just want to send a very quick "That's awesome! But who is this?".
I have issue with 8SMS - I got the message correct, select answer, tell the answer and watches tell me "OK" but the message is not sent and is not stored in the phone.
Hangouts is working well but it miss some functions which I like.
When I select discarting unicode characters, the application crashed - Galaxy S5. The original application opens the application on the phone, when I select Reply
Any suggestions?
I've been using EvolveSMS for a while and responses work fine on it. It's got a nice interface too.

For anyone interested, i found this xposed module on the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_source=42matters.com&utm_medium=WidgetWeb
This seems good but when I checked it it worked only with EvolveSMS. 8SMS and also Hangouts not work.
I found next issue: Hangouts and 8SMS not vibrate on the watches. I use ChumbSMS which vibrates but it is not supported by the mod
What is the advantage of using the Facebook Messenger app if messages can be sent by using the Facebook app directly?
To reply to a message:
Using Facebook app:
Click on notification in notification menu
Type message
Using Messenger app:
Click on notification in notification menu or click on contact bubble
Type message
To type a new message:
Using Facebook app:
Open Facebook app
Click on Message icon
Click compose
Type recipient
Type message
Using Messenger app:
Open Messenger app
Click compose
Type recipient
Type message
So the Messenger app only saves you ONE step (i.e., clicking on the Message icon) in comparison to the Facebook app, in terms of writing a new message. The time saved is negligible.
The only other feature of the Messenger app that I see is that it can send messages to people in your contact list, whether or not they have Facebook, by sending an SMS instead. So it will prefer a Facebook message, but fallback on SMS.
Is there any other advantage of using the Messenger app?

They did, and then they brought it back, probably due in large part to the outcry that ensued.

where did you see that?cant find anything confirming that...Even in this thread there are guys using the re enabler for facebook chat ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-facebook-chat-enabler-t2934179 )
Why would it be necessary to have an enabler if they brought back chat on the main app?
I dont use facebook app and have no way to confirm it right now, but as far as i know, messenger is needed to chat
EDIT: Ok, just tried it, facebook app does not allow chatting. redirects to download messenger. You are probably using the enabler i mentioned earlier.

You are absolutely right, I noticed the interfaces were different between messaging in FB and messaging in the Messenger app, and I wrongly assumed they were independent. However, after disabling Messenger I see that FB messaging doesn't work in the native app, requiring Messenger to be re-enabled.
This essentially renders my question moot. Thanks for the clarification.
Will the watch receive notifications from Google Voice(mail) app on the phone?
Also, has anyone been able to use a 3rd party SMS app (phone) with this watch without issues? I'd prefer to use Google Messenger instead of the factory SMS app.
Thanks!
I just posted this in the other 3rd party question thread.
Just go into your gear settings app (on your phone). Go to notifications and select whatever third party app you want (includes sms). I use Textra for my SMS. I get all messages on my Gear S (except for MMS...just alerts me I have an MMS, doesn't physically show it like using the stock app). You can respond using the built in Samsung keyboard.

Thanks for the info. Ideally, I'd prefer to use S-Voice to respond to the Google Messenger notification on the watch but I know that's not possible.
I have a Huawei phone, which doesn't sync with the Samsung Messages app. Is there another app I can download to the tablet that will allow me to send SMS using my phone? I use the standard Google Messages SMS app on the Huawei and have no desire to switch. Thanks.
I've a P30 Pro, I use Tablet Messenger for Google Messenger and WhatsApp, works really well.

You can try Pulse. It looks and works like Google messenger but allows sending and receiving from multiple devices once your phone is set up as the main device.

Same here...even get to use it for phone calls...not that i want to...since i use the tablet to "escape". :silly:
Google Voice isn't available in the UK ? maybe when Pulse gets RCS support, that may be the answer ...
Mighty text
Wish RCS was more open... would be nice if iphones could use it too.
Been using Mightytext for years and works well across many device families.
Is RCS available to mighty text yet?
have google released the RCS APIS ?
