Would anyone be interested in the BBM app for Gear S if I was to get it developed and possibly sell it in the gear apps store. Please reply if you are interested. If I get enough interest I will possibly offer it for free.
bbm is dead. If you managed to get a WhatsApp client running would be a completely different story.
That and skype would be on fire.

How much would you pay for whatsapp? However you hardly need whatsapp anyway as with notification for gear s app you don't need whatsapp as the notifications app allows you to respond to whatsapp messages and start new messages/conversations

It's not really a good supplement for real WhatsApp app.
If you were able to do something that could playback voice messages, take calls and send voice messages it would seriously rock.
I'd easily pay 5 bucks for it

Thanks for your response. If I get enough interest I will look closer at getting whatsapp developed as well.

Hey does anyone use whatsapp on android wear? Just wondering if it is full app with full capabilities and if you would recommend it and if it isn't, would you prefer the same as what's on android wear or would you rather we worked straight from the original android app? LMK your thoughts on this

I don't know what changes were made since a few months ago to WhatsApp but I've used it - like 2 months ago and it was no different than the integration we have at the moment on the Gear S.

Thanks for your input
If you made something similar that could let you for example use your watch as a Bluetooth playback device and microphone, kind of how calls are taken on the Gear S, it would be just as good. That would work with Skype, WhatsApp or any other call/voice/sound based service - allowing you to take, make and receive calls on the device.
Then all you'd need to do is integrate that with messages and you'd have gold.
Worth real money for something like that.

Sending SMS over Data
Yes I know this question might have been asked before, at least at some length. But I am taking it a step further
A long while ago I tended to use voipbuster.com and their corresponding mobile app to send texts to my friends in the UK and US for cheap. Lately their service has been none existant and no texts has been delivered and thus forcing me to look for a replacement.
But what good and decent "online" texting services are there?. I dont mind paying a small fee pr text in order to avoid apps or get "assured" delivery rather then getting them for free and they are either full of spam, or they wont make it to the recipient. Naturally it would be perfect if the company suggested has a full Android app.
I did take a look at FishText, but they have no android app so they are not really of use to me, until they develop one. Also tried Haywire from Android Market and well it didn't really work to the level of stability that I want :/
So what other companies are there out there that can fulfill my requirements?. ANd other good ideas or suggestions are naturally welcome as well.
Thanks in advance.
Viber works fine for me, both texts and calls, but the other person must have it installed too

And thus it does not work for me :/. If it is required that the other person also has the app then its not a "Text message" sadly.
Perhaps I should have been more clear, but I am atually looking for a service that does not require the reciepients to have any special kind of app or software on their phones in order to recieve the messages
Been using an app called jelly sms, and after downloading the app it gives you the option to choose the sms carrier and have been using my cool sms as my sending option and the main advantage of my cool sms is after sending a text, in the app, if you then go on the web u can see the delivery report. It's saved me a tone texting to Africa, so can imagine, you will save more, sending to Europe. You have to topup though to get my cool sms credit, and you can also send texts online without using your phone. I must admit though the same app, is much better on the iPhone, as you get the delivery report in the app, nevertheless its a great and reliable way of sending.

That might actuallu do the trick. I am however more searching for a single service to sign up with / subscribe to rather then the massive list that Jelly SMS gives me. But if anyone can recommend any of the services listed inside Jelly then I am open ears.
But like i said I tried getting some credit for Voipbuster and it did work for some time but these days my messages are not getting through. Tried the Haywire app which isnt really working out either.
So I am looking for a service like FishText, but since they dont have an android app I cant use them..... And paying around 50 Cents for a text is just not appealing to me
Yes choose my cool sms
This seems to be a common but unaddressed issue with AOxP ROMs. Apparently ICS does a poor job of splitting messages nor does it allow more than 100 messages to be sent an hour. For messages that are split the text received is garbled (not in the order sent or unreadable). It does not matter what SMS app you use (Handcent, GoSMS, or stock) the results are the same.
To recreate the issue, send a text with 200 characters or more, to 20 or more recipients. While that message is sending, send another text (test) to one person. You will get a popup stating that a large number of texts are being sent; press cancel to stop or ok to keep sending. If the message is sent the recipient will either not get the entire message or it will not be received at all. This is for messages sent to any carrier (GSM or CDMA).
This is such a frustrating issue for me, I am willing to pay for help. If you are a developer, and are willing to help, please let me know. If the fix works it should be made available to everyone.
I did try this tweak to no avail.
Sir, I see and understand your question/request.

Thanks I'm cool with that. Just don't want it to get lost in the shuffle, or not receive the attention it deserves.
That's a fk ton of texts. I'm curious why you would want to send so many texts on a regular basis? Not flaming, just genuinely curious.

I lead a men's ministry and the best way to communicate with them in realtime is via text.
How realtime is Google +, making a circle for just your group, but then all would have to have Google accounts....?
A Fan page via Facebook...?
Twitter page wth just your group?
Palringo: desktop and app...I use it.. Palringo...you can make room/chats for just your group...Palringo is a server-based instant messaging client for various platforms. It supported several protocols such as AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, XMPP/Jabber, Google Talk, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ, MobileMe/iChat and Facebook IM.[1] As of May 11, 2012, Palringo stopped supporting third party IM protocols to focus on their own group messaging system
Idk...just ideas... Just an idea till your request is looked at?

Great ideas! Unfortunately many of the guys are not tech savvy and even less do social sites. Most of them have regular, non-smart phones. All of them have text plans so this is the agreed up method of communication. Trust me, I'd rather do something like Facebook. I have 6 phone lines for my family (four children). All the children text. We do so little calling that we have the smallest/lowest voice plan AT&T offers. I just can't believe AOSP has built in limitations for texting in 2012.

a non-AOSP rom is not an option for you?

How about using google voice for texting. I use it along with the stock messaging. Doesn't seem to split texts. No mms support as of yet, but texting works great. Just need to get a google voice number. You can use that number strictly for your ministry. Can even receive calls on it on multiple lines. Works very well. You can also send and receive texts from your PC.

I 2nd that! I've been using Google Voice for my computer repair & Audio/Video Service for about 3 years now. Plus I cracked my Note's screen Saturday night shooting pool so now i have a black screen,but i use Google Voice via text messaging from my laptop to keep in touch with people until my replacement arrives tomorrow Fedex.

That's actually a great idea. I will give that a try. I still want the functionality in the ROM if possible.
Google released a new messenger app, if anyone wants to try it out.
It supports Group MMS.

Mods please move to apps and themes, accidentally posted here.
but does it work w/ wifi calling for group mms?
I hope it works with Wi-Fi calling, but I highly doubt it. I guess I am going to stick with the stock app, I just wished it the stock one was more full featured on the Android Wear similar to hangouts.
It doesn't work with WiFi calling on T-Mobile. No third party apps do as this is a carrier policy. It looks good, but for some reason I was getting double texts from group MMS messages.
Yea I can confirm that as well, unfortunate.
If TMO had full Google Voice integration like Sprint it would be nice that way not only MMS, but you can makw calls and send SMS/MMS from your computer as well. I really miss that.
I'd love to be able to send texts from within hangouts on the PC.
I know there are other apps available, but they're annoying, and most cost money for the 'good' features...

As a former Sprint user this is a big let down, I barely had my phone next to me, all SMS/MMS & calls were via my laptop (using my phone number). Then again Sprint's coverage was so bad lol.
unfortunately
Thank you for the post, I installed it on my Z3 all works fine but I just get my received messages not my sent messages, where it should be my received and sent messages.
Please help if there's a way, see screenshots attached
I get both, did you set it as default messaging app?
Third party applications do not work with T-Mobile's WiFi calling protocol. It's a bit ridiculous at this point, but I had to just return my Z3 before the 14-day period ended. They saw that the stock messaging app didn't support group MMS, and that I also reached out to the developers @ Sony.
They let me return the phone without paying the restocking fee. What a shame. Hopefully Sony comes out with a fix for their stock messaging application...or maybe one day T-Mobile will allow access to the WiFi Calling protocol for third party apps.

Yes, I have made it my default, I don't get the old ones, I just get them both from the time I have installed it upwards,
no GIF support
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
I want buy the gear s. But I don't know if is possible used skype and whatsapp to answer the messages .... and for the calls? The gear s can answer the calls like a hands-free. ? Answer messages and messages from skype and whatsapp ( with keyboard. , not with voice) and calls is possible with this watch or with other smartwatch?
no smartwatch out there can do this (except for the windows one maybe for skype). Skype and WhatsApp are proprietary and therefore closed when it comes to those services.
Anything else that makes calls through android API like notifications, Gear S can handle somewhat but that's about it.

Have to disagree. Both have Android Ware watch apps on AW watches. But Gear S is a dead end. No one is interested to develop apps for it or Tizen in general.

wait a second. those aren't full apps for AW. They are using the AW sdk and apis to allow you to respond to messages / accept calls.
I have an AW watch and its definitely not a full fledged app. The skype one just lets you answer messages, but beyond that taking calls doesn't apply to AW really so I guess you can see it as an app but honestly, its not.
There are at least apps. Features can come later.
