I use GoSMS or Handcent from time to time. On the Gear S I just get the notification that a message came in then a button to open on device. I'd love to be able to reply using either app right from phone.

I'm coming from an iPhone 4 & one of the features I loved about it is the emoji/emoticons (smiley faces in text messages) I can send & receive with other iPhone/iPod/iPad users. Are there any apps I can send/receive emoji/emoticons with iPhone users (in otherwords, cross-platform)? I've read Handcent should be able to do this but won't be able to verify until my GNote arrives later today & activate it. Also, whatever new MMS messaging app(s) I download, I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one? Thanks & looking forward to jumping ship!
GO SMS and then download the emjoi plugin and go sms is better the handcent. Handcent has a problem with mms at times cool little app but go sms is fast and easy to use.
That was helpful!

Yeah, I just read about Go SMS while using the search feature but didn't know if it could do emoji's. Thanks for the info & comparison, I'll download that! I'm assuming I should disable text notification for the stock messaging app? Which one is the stock one?
The stock messaging app is called "Messaging". I believe that GO SMS (which I also really like and use) actually gives the option to turn off the stock messaging notifications when you first download and open it (at least I remember that for some reason).

Thx, ya I'm gonna try out both & see which one I prefer.
Hi guys,
Basically I want the benefits of Smart Alert (the vibrate when you pick the phone up if you have a missed call or message), but because the default messaging client is rubbish, I use Handcent SMS. Unless I want to deal with the double notification from Messaging and Handcent, I can't seem to find a way to get Smart Alert to work with Handcent SMS.
Does anyone have any ideas as to if this is possible?
Also, a quick secondary question that may need it's own thread. On my SGS1 I used Tasker to sync my podcasts in the morning by turning on WiFi and Autosync. I tried to set up the same script I had before, but Auto-Sync 'is unavailable on this device' which is really grinding my gears.
Thanks xda, keep up the great work.

Would be nice if this would work on Handcent. I set it as the default app for messaging. Maybe handcent has to fix this on their end.
It isn't a Handcent problem, it only works with the default messaging app.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe some of the talented devs here can get that to work with handcent in the future.

I use Hancent too but I DO have smart sense working, what to do is set Handcent as the defualt app but in the STOCK messaging app make sure that Notification and auto receive are ON
Voila when received text I can read on Handcent but phone still vibrates until marked as read....I know its not full fix but atleast it works

I have been using this method, too. I wonder if Tasker could mimic the effects of Smart Alert?
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 :/
Anyone have any luck on getting a different messaging app to work with the GS? I love and use ChompSMS and it is my default app, but it will not allow me to respond on my GS. Only the default messaging app will allow that.

It suck but looks like Samsung blocked us Gear S users from using anything but their own sms app to send.
Don't think they do it on purpose. Most probably a compatibility thing as the gear s uses tizen.
Same issues that the gear 2 watch series have.
I use chompsms with my gear s
It works like a charm
The sms poppes up and i can reply to it.... no problem
But i cant compose a message on the gear
But who cares... all i need is to see the text message and if i choose so. Reply quickly to it
So i think its all good
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.
