Hello,
I'm currently using a Samsung Gear Fit connected to a Huawei Ascend Mate 7. It works perfectly (except the obvious non-Samsung phone limitations) although I can't get the stock SMS messaging app (I'm currently using SMS through Hangouts as a workaround, but I'd like to be able to use the default messaging app...) to display notifications to the Gear Fit as well as the stock Email app as they both do not appear in the apps list (in any section) in the Gear Fit Manager app. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Does anyone know how to solve it?

Got a brand new Gear Fit and got it updated with Gear Manager v1.67.0523 and attached to a VZW Galaxy S5. For some reason I don't get any notifications, no alarms, no emails, no missed calls, nothing. Is there something I am missing?
You do have gear fit manager? Are notifications turned on in the app? Is the fit and phone paired?

NOTICE:
I had problems with editing my build.prop but I just used an app. Find it here: Build prop editor
and then I had the same problem with notifications which I solved by using Gear fit manager 1.55
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
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?

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

Hello everyone! I'm new here
I had a question before purchasing the Gear S... I have a Galaxy S5 and I use Textra for my SMS app and I love it. I was wondering if the Texting feature on the Gear S can go though Textra or will it make me use the Default SMS app that same with my S5?
If it does require me to use the default app. Can I install Fleksy Messenger like I did on my old Gear 2 to replace the default SMS app on the Gear S?
Thanks
Did you figure out these questions? I'm thinking about buying it but would prefer to use Google Messenger instead of the factory SMS app on the phone I'm also thinking about buying (Note 5 AT&T).
Kinda.....
I ended up buying it and when I go to the messaging app on the watch it says I have to change back to the default SMS app on my phone. HOWEVER when I look up a contact and the hit the messaging icon for whatever contact I wanna text it works just fine with a 3rd party SMS app. Let me know how you like the Gear S!!
When you say looking up a contact to text, you're doing that on the watch & not the phone? Still debating on getting it. Love the gorgeous & huge curved screen but not fond of Tizen OS whatsoever besides being able to make/receive calls.
Yup
Yeah on the watch. This version of TIZEN is way better compared to the one on the Gear 2. I love the screen and the standalone capabilities. The apps are ok but could be improved..
I've never used previous versions of Tizen. Just the current version on the Gear S at retailers. Don't really care/need other apps. Just want notifications (in addition to the gorgeous & huge curved screen) for calls, texts, emails, voicemails & calling feature. Opera browser is a nice bonus.
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.
