I have been using the gear s for a week. I have a data only sim card wich lets me access the internet with my gear s not connected to my phone.
My problem is that i can not forward calls from my note 3 to my gear s. If we had a voip app for tizen I would forward all my calls to my gears s since I have an unlimited voice plan on my note 3.
Has anyone found such an app?

Google Voice works excellent. Hangouts is OK too
Is there any way to get Skype working so I can answer Skype calls ?

no way. What do you mean by "Hangouts is OK" ?
it only gives information about the missed call on my Gear S.

I can read and respond to hangout messages also call out and receive calls as well as missed calls. All Hangouts works for me on Gear S. I have a Note 4 if that matters

do you use an additional app on Gear S for that ?
I had installed Gear Notification Extender. But that only helps to read and answer text messages.

so, was it real or did you have fun ?
I assume this was not real. (since no answers)
There is no Hangouts app on Gear S to make or receive Hangouts calls.

did you really have fun with me ? (and all others reading)

These 2 apps do not allow you to start voice or video call from Hangouts. They are notification apps and they only allow text messages through Hangouts.

I am able to talk and text from hangouts with my Gear S . Video call there is no camera on my Gear S so no that is not possible. I can call text and receive calls through hangouts on my Gear S. I call my contacts and dial numbers using hangouts as my app to make these calls. My Gear S does it if yours does not then maybe your doing something wrong

I am asking how you start a voice call (Hangouts) on Gear S ?
is there anyone else who says that it is possible to make voice hangouts on Gear S ?
thx.
If there is a way to do this, it'd be great. I just bought one and Google Voice/Hangouts handles all my communications

Does anyone know the name of text messaging app for wifi Honeycomb tablets?
You can send text messages via the gogle voice app now, if you don't mind using your google voice number instead.

I have the same question.... I have google voice number setting up.... Just wonder how can u able to send text via tab.... Thanks
Once you have the google voice number set up just go into the market and download the app. Go through the initial install and the option to compose a message is at the top of the screen
Got it work like a champ...... Thanks much.... Now im waiting see if we can make a wif calls from tab... Thanks again

I use heywire for text n grooveip for calls
Textab is pretty cool. Gets the job done for me.
But as already mentioned google voice is probably the best choice.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
theres a app called textab and pretty much you connect your phone to your tablet (via Bluetooth) and you receive and send texts through your tab. your have to get it for your tab and your phone
Which app is better for replying to SMS? i used to have LG G watch with hangouts but i assume that gear S works better with native Note 4 SMS app?

I like being able to edit my messages on the Gear S. Android Wear was a nightmare for me in that sense. Plus I can keep messages. On Android Wear they are dismissed upon reply.
A keyboard helps too.
So which app si better? Native SMS from Samsung or hangouts?
Does the Gear S even have a hangouts app?

It really depends on what you like. I only use Hangouts to talk to my friends who are on it, not for SMS.
The way Samsung's SMS app works with Samsung phones and devices is unique and has features you don't really notice until you try something else.

Not natively. Only iOS gets any official Google apps outside of Android, which is pretty lame.
What are the different features from each one? The major ones. On both of them you can answer with the keyboard?

Just try them both out and see for yourself. Some people prefer one and others prefer the other. But with the Gear S, only Samsung's SMS works fully.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use a non stock app with the gear fit such as Textra sms, Gmail, etc to reply to notifications?
I noticed when you receive an alert it only gives you a reply on the gear fit if it's using a stock app such as messenger for sms.
same question here. also, I can't delete my notifications on the fit... they just don't delete. paired with my note 4
There is a app called: gear fit notifications, its les you answer with predefinied text

With "ES Explorer"
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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.gear.notificationsgears&hl=en
so it's great that with Gear Notification Extender that I can receive and reply to Hangouts messages. Is there a way however to initiate a message to a hangout subscriber?
What I've been doing thus far is keeping a notification for them on my watch and simply replying to that same notification. However, is there a way to simply initiate a conversation that will hit their hangouts app. another more clean and simple way using just my Gear S ?

I just bought one and would love this feature. Handouts handles all my texts and my Google voice number is my primary number.
No Hangout app for Gear, so.....
You will need Hangout app on the watch. Since Hangout is from Google and Tizen is a competitor to Android OS, there is no way in hell that Google will produce anything for this OS.
