I was trying different text apps today and it appears after installing them I stopped getting text notifications on my gear. So I assume the gear requires the stock messaging app to receive the message son the gear?

Unfortunately, that is correct.
I have always used & loved Handcent, but I realized pretty quickly that using Handcent disables all text notifications on the watch

Yeah I tried textra again, but still can't get mms to work on it, so I went back to handcent. Thats a bummer, but the stock app has very little customization
Appears So
Yes, it appears you are correct. I use the Facebook Messanger app for SMS and it doesn't work. Really unfortunate.

It works happily alongside Tablet Talk. Tablet Talk and my Gear are both connected via bluetooth to my phone. Any time I get a text, it goes to both my Gear and my Tablet just fine.
Darn!!! Took the wind out my question. I use handcent as well it has so many nice functional customizations I cannot go to the default messaging. Could any form of rooting the device open the door up for this or is it the app?

I tried using Tablet Talk 1.75 and it keeps craching on the Gear. What version are you using??? Thanks.
Go SMS works
I have Go SMS working... Go SMS is controlling the vibrate (so I can use custom vibration patterns), and I have it controlling the LED (change color and blink rate). Also when I press the "show on device" button on the Gear, it goes straight to Go SMS, not the stock messaging.
This is what I did...
I uninstalled Go SMS (I'm not sure if this is necessary), and reinstalled.
In the Go SMS :
In the "Notification Settings":
Enable Notifications --> checked.
In the Defualt notification settings:
Vibrate --> checked.
Blink LED -- checked.
In the "Other setting" menu:
Disable other message notification -- Un-checked
In the stock messaging app:
Under "More" tab:
Notifications --> checked
Select ringtone -- > set to "silent"
Vibrate --> Un-checked
Preview message --> checked.
Open the Application manager in the settings of the phone:
Swipe over to the "ALL" tab, and scroll down until you find the "Messages" app. Un-check "show notifications" This will prevent double notifications in the panel.
This should do it. When I received a text, the first time I clicked "show on device", the option popped up on the phone to select the default program between Go SMS and stock messaging. I clicked Go SMS, and set to "Always". Now it opens up Go SMS everytime.
Hope this helps some of you!
but your method only give you notification that you receive message but doesn't show any message content right?
What I need is able to read text message on gear just like the stock messaging app is. I miss using textra.

It works with my version as well, 1.9.4 but I just had some issues getting it to work after the latest gear manager update. Basically had to switch it to wifi and back to bletooth before it reconnected and was working again.

Using my method, the stock messaging app is still pushing the notifications to the gear (not Go SMS), so they come up the same, and you can read the message content, no problem.

Use ATN Manager 1.2.2
That seems to work with most apps that send notifications.
using it with Chomp SMS and it works great.

I tried ATN and it didn't work for me at all. Posted in the thread for it, but no help as of yet.
I followed the instructions, installed the app, checked the box under security/notifications, selected the apps I wanted, most notably is textra. I sent myself several texts, as well as an email from my girlfriends phone and I did not get one notification on the watch

I didn't want to use Gosms, but for now it seems like the best bet. This worked perfectly for me. Thanks for the detailed breakdown

you don't need to fiddle around with these anymore with the latest official UK update. All notifications show now. I am using chomp sms and shows message perfect.
Disa and the Galaxy Gear
So I have a Galaxy Gear and Note 3. If any of you out there own a Galaxy Gear you will know that you can only use the stock messaging app if you want the ability to reply to text messages directly from the watch, without rooting and using a custom rom. But now there is a new alternative to the hideous stock messaging app and that is Disa.im. Disa.im is a new messaging app that is currently in open beta phase.
Disa is based off the Hangouts design principles and is a very good looking messaging app. Disa is also absolutely unique in the fact that it allows for integration of messaging and WhatsApp messages within the one app. They are currently working on including other messengers as well including but potentially not limited to Facebook Messenger and Hangouts.
How does it work?
1. What gives Disa.im the ability to allow for stock messaging notifications to be sent to the Gear is the option within the app to allow for SMS Fall Through. What this means is that all new received SMS will fall through to the stock app, triggering the stock notification hence sending that notification to the Gear. You can then reply to the messages from the Gear and the new message will be created and sent through the stock messaging app.
2. Normally this would create an issue in the fact that the new SMS sent from the Gear through through the stock messaging app would not show within the new messaging app, Disa, which is the case with a number of other after market messaging apps. But the good news is, Disa has another option which allows for Syncing of SMS/MMS with the Android message database. This allows for the apps to work in ‘Hybrid Mode’, so any messages sent from stock app will be in Disa and vice versa.
3. Having messages received by Disa, and falling through to the stock app, this would generate 2 notifications on the actual handset. If you turn off notifications within the stock messaging app, they won’t get generated and sent to the Gear, making this solution not really a solution at all. But… within Settings>General>Application Manager there is the option to turn off notifications for individual application. This seems to actually only turn off the visibility of the notification not the generation of the notification itself. So if we deactivate that for the stock messaging app, it still gets generated by the system and sent to the Gear, so when you get a text message, you only see the Disa notification on the phone and the stock messaging notification on the Gear.
4. Within Gear Manager you will only have to have notifications for stock Messaging app turned on. If you have Disa notifications turned on also you will get 2 notifications of a message on the Gear
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that Disa was not designed this way specifically for the Galaxy Gear, this is just something I noticed and worked through to come up with this particular solution. Please do not ask the Disa developers for support with issues with notifications on your Galaxy Gear.
Limitations:
The above will work perfectly if you choose to just use Disa.im as a SMS replacement app. If you choose to use Disa.im to have What’sapp messages as well then a choice needs to be made. The options are as follows:
1. Don’t turn on Disa.im notifications within Gear Manager. This will continue to work as mentioned above, but you wont get any notifications for What’sapp messages received through Disa.im
2. Turn on Disa.im notifications within Gear Manager. This will allow you to get Disa.im What’sapp notifications on the Gear but will cause you to also get Disa.im SMS notifications as well as stock messaging notifications. So every SMS you receive will have 2 notifications on the Gear. A good thing is though, the stock messaging notification will show on the Gear before the Disa.im one, so the only time you know that Disa.im one is there is when you go to Notifications area. So in practice, its not too bad.
To get it working you need the following:
Samsung Device running 4.3 Touchwiz
Galaxy Gear
Galaxy Gear Manager 1.6
Disa.im - Disa is currently in Beta and can be downloaded through their Google+ Community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/114009566886187417546
Google+ App
Steps to installation and Setup
When choosing which number to go down to, please see limitations above
Disa.im with text messages
1. Ensure device meets the above requirements
2. Go to Disa group above and apply for Beta Tester status and download the Disa app to your mobile device
3. Once Disa.im is downloaded, open the app and go to Settings, and click on ‘Add Service’.
4. Let the app find the relevant APN and then select ‘Sync SMS/MMS’ and ‘Fall Through’
5. Close the app
6. Open Android Settings, click General, Click Application Manager, swipe until you get to ‘All’ and find the Messages app in the list
7. Click it, and then uncheck the ‘Show Notifications’ check box
8. Open Gear Manager, select Notifications, ensure that Messages is ticked
9. Send yourself a test text message. Remember that the Gear only receives notifications when the phones screen is off.
Disa.im with text and WhatsApp but no WhatsApp notification on Gear
10. Do all of the steps above
11. If you have WhatsApp currently installed, uninstall it
12. Within the Google+ app, go to the Disa.im Community Group, click on Plugin Release (DO NOT POST) subsection
13. Find the latest WhatsApp plugin release post, click on the link and download the plugin
14. Once downloaded, Open Disa.im, go to Settings, and click on ‘Add Service’ and select WhatsApp
15. Set up the service the same way you do in the standard WhatsApp
16. Get a friend to send you a test WhatsApp
Disa.im with Text and WhatsApp and Notifications for both on Gear (double text message notif)
17. Do all of the steps above
18. Open Gear Manager, select Notifications, select More Notifications, ensure that Disa is ticked
19. Get a friend to send you a test WhatsApp. Remember that the Gear only receives notifications when the phones screen is off
I hope the above helps anyone that is over the stock messaging apps but wants the extra functions on the Galaxy Gear.
Hit thanks if this helped
Regards,
Dylan
Nice, will have to check it out
post screenshots please.
I followed your instructions and I get the notification sent to my gear. But how do I reply. I don't see anywhere to type a reply. Thought that was the whole idea of installing this.
Hi,
What do you need screen shots of? Disa? Or the whole process.
In relation to the notification on the gear, is it a notification from Disa or from the messaging app, you should be able to tell from the icon. Also, are you talking about reply to a normal text message? If your talking about a whatsapp notification then you still won't be able to reply. The solution is only for replying to text messages.
If the notification if for text messages and is a normal message notification on the gear, there is a button in the top right inside the notification, click that and you will get the option to reply.

Replying on the galaxy gear is never typed unless you are rooted and have a keyboard installed. The reply can be done through s voice or through the preset replies.

i want to see how does the app look like on the gear.
tablet talk is really awfull.
What he is saying is that on the gear you will still be using stock app, but on the phone you will be using disa, since the stock messenger is crap but needed to send texts to the gear(stock)

Why is the stock messaging app "crap"??
I have used all the alternatives (Handcent, GoSMS etc.) & if you have the stock app themed etc. why isn't it just as good as anything else??
I actually use the stock app. Lmao but the OP doesn't. Crap is the first word I thought if lmao

Personally I have been using Verizon Messages. Can't reply on Gear but get the notifications and able to read as normal. Plus syncs between stock app as well as cross platform. It also syncs all messages between my iPad and phone seamlessly. Its VZW's version of iMessage I suppose.

Hi all, i want to try disa on my galaxy note 3 but when i install GM 1.6 (the manual say that i need install the latest version) i don`t know why i can`t enter in notification menu. When i press the button my GM freezes so i can´t select any app to send or not notification to my gear, i only can check or uncheck the button to enable o disable all notifications. Also i tried to reinstall GM 1.6, do a hard reset on my gear (i have null19 installed) nd nothing :S
Any ideas? Thanks
EDIT: the problem was the null addon hehehe
So, how do I reply to whatsapps and text messages trough the Gear? I have to install Disa.im on the Gear?

I have actually spent some time reading all around the forum but still could not find an answer. I have installed the galaxy gear manager did the update both for the manager and the galaxy gear itself and I was so happy that the notification can now work for many 3rd party apps. I went to the other applications and check on chomp sms but everytime i receive a message, i will just get a message that i have 1 unread message and I have to tap 'show on device' to be able to read the content. I don't want to use the stock messaging because I really want to use chomp sms.
I know some people here have been successful in making the chomp sms work perfectly with their gear and I have actually sent pm to them but I still don't get any enlightenment with my case. I will really appreciate help from you guys. Thanks

I don't use Chomp SMS, but I think it's from the same dev as Textra SMS... and textra works fine for me. Make sure you have "show message in notification" or something like this on.
i had gear fit for few months and loved how I get all the notification from "HANGOUT" and all other chat apps (like Skype).
then I was hoping to answer phone call with gear not just denying the phone call with gear fit.
so I upgrade to gear 2 neo.
but this one can't seems to send "ANY" notifications if I use sms with google hangout.
I tried everything but still no go.
when I finally switch back from hangout to original Samsung sms app, then I get all the notifications along with other apps as well
is there any solution for this? I love google hangout app.
model number SM-R381
software version R381XXU0BNE5
is it because of new firmware?
I don't care replying sms through gear neo I just wanna have this pop up notifications.
with hangout enable, I don't even get vibration notice. I simply don't get any notifications.
I have one other question.
if I root this gear neo, can I delete all apps that I don't want to have?
PS:
if my questions are already went over, please direct me to the right direction please.
thank you in advance.
There is an option in the Gear manager app to adjust notifications.
Go to Notifications
Then Manage notifications
then you can either select all or go through and pick which apps. and make sure you select google hangouts.
In the Gear Manager you can edit the apps that will push their notifications to the Gear however only the stock apps really work. Apps such as hangouts or 3rd party sms apps you can only view the notification but not reply.
Lots of threads on this topic...but none that I think are all that current?
Note 3 running Lollipop and Gear 1 running Tizon. I don't get Whatsapp notifcations on my gear. I do get SMS but I have GO SMS and the only way I was able to get SMS notifications was to receive text notifications on both the stock app and Go?
Is there an easier way to get all the notifications to work as they should? Even with Whatsapp and GO checked off in the notification section of Gear Manager 2.2.15022599, I still don't get them all working?
Any advice?
Thanks,
