First off, lover my Gear S. Just awesome. There is one aching functionality missing for me though: is there any way to delete an email using the native app on the Gear and have it delete that email on the phone? I'm going with a workaround right now using Gear Notification Extender and that helps a lot, but I'd like to have a manageable inbox without scrolling though the messages as notifications, per se. Has anyone got this working using the native Gear email? Thanks in advance for the help.
+1 ..... delete notification implies double work to clear even the message, Android wear has both the "mark as read" and "delete" option

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?

In the facebook application, hit Menu -> Settings -> and look in Notification settings.
It should say "Notifications: Active" hit the checkbox next to it to turn it off
He's talking about the messenger app, not the facebook app itself.
So far as I know there is no way to turn off the notifications in the messenger app itself. I might make more sense to just uninstall it seeing as the normal facebook app lets you use chat when you want to anyway.
No I'm talking about just the Facebook App lol in it u can disable all the notifications individually besides the messaging one

Yeah, I'm having the same issue with the Facebook app for Android. It seems that you are only allowed to disable message notifications for a certain amount of time before it automatically re-enables itself. Pretty annoying, especially since I am using a messenger-aggregator app that gives me notifications for Facebook messages too. Any help would be really appreciated
So any option to disable chat notification forever? I only get them de-activated for 8 hours every time
hi we are just talking about facebook message notifications not all notifications, im looking for this one also....
is really stupid that you cant disable this.... what is the use of disable this for 8hours???
And you don't want to just get rid of the app?

what about log out from this app
It seems like any other notification can be disabled permanently but the messages one. Very stupid and extremely annoying indeed!

This works for me. I hate the msg app as well but like other notifications. Did this for each person I talk to. And it stays off perm after doing this for each user.

I'm having the same problem. I don't want to uninstall the app, or turn off all notifications, because I'd like to still get notifications on wall posts and comments.
As others have stated, I also use a messenger that puts gtalk and facebook together, and it's just annoying to receive double notifications for facebook messages.
It seems people are misunderstanding what is being asked.
Facebook has a great deal many different features and gives notifications for each individually. Notifications of new posts are separate from notifications of new comments are separate from notifications of new messages etc.
We all want to get Facebook notifications *except* for messages. We want to be notified when a friend posts to their wall or comments on a post we are involved in. We do not want to be notified when some one messages on Facebook... or rather... do not want to be notified twice.
Both the Facebook app and the Facebook messenger app will not let you turn message notifications off. You can turn every other notification off individually or you can turn off all notifications completely... but when you disable just the one for messages in either app it tells you when it's going to turn it back on. We want it off permanently without losing our other notifications.
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.
Sort of. I didn't see this covered before so I thought I would share it. I installed Google Messenger on my Samsung Galaxy S5 and made it the default messaging app. I had a friend text me to see if I was able to reply to a Google Messenger notification from my Gear S. I was able to do it. I clicked on the notification, then clicked the 3 dots at the bottom right of the message, then, reply with sms.
You will see a list of quick reply phrases, but, if you click the keyboard icon on the top right, you can type out a message and send it.
Viber also works with quick reply from notification on the watch.. I guess it is related to the application compatibility with android wear which was recently added..
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)?
