Not getting text notifications

I am receiving notifications via sms know phone but not to the gear. Anyone else experiencing this?

Do you have sms notifications enabled in gear manager?

I'm getting some - but maybe 25% of them only. Very odd that something so simple could have so many problems.

I am not getting any texts or emails. Quite frustrating.

Only the default messenger app seems to work, no 3rd party one. Also if the phone is unlocked at the time the notification comes in, it will not be sent to the gear.
Notifications need a serious overhaul to enable system wide notification support like the pull down menu in android....
Remember, it's pretty new territory for android so patience is a virtue. Early adopters will feel most of the pain ^^

If it's still the default settings you wont get email notifications. The Gmail app isn't selected by default and it can only tell you you have an email with the gmail app anyway. It won't show who it's from etc, only the stock Samsung email app can give you info on emails when they come in. If you aren't getting texts, you should open the gear manager app on the Note 3, select "Settings", then select "Notification" and make sure "Messages" is checked.

Mine are all checked in setting. Still no notifications beinf pushed. Spoke with 2 representatives of Samsung both had no resolution. Anyone else?

Are tou usi g any other bluetooth devices while the gear is connected?
Try removing those.
Also worthwhile removing the gear using the gear manager > paired gear > remove before last resorting to factory reset?
Maybe something buggered up during the initial setup.

I didn't mean that it's all default settings. I meant I am using built in apps including Gmail. I don't even get notification that there is a text or an email. It is also set to receive messages in Gear Manager.

Are you using a Note 3? Your sig says Note 2. If you aren't using a Note 3 that is probably the problem, If you are you might want to try resetting the Gear in settings and then re-pair it and see if notifications start after that.
For what it's worth I've had zero problems getting any notifications I've selected on the Gear.

Remember, if your phone is on, the notification will not be sent to the Gear.

Restarting or turning notifications in gear manager off then on temporarily makes them notifications work again

Also make sure Blocking Mode isn't currently active.

I'm now getting the notification issue above, but with a variance...
My Samsung Note 3 was sending all kinds of notifications to my Gear (Mk.1) with no problem at all.
However I was having other problems and decided to do a Factory Reset.
After the Factory Reset it no longer sends any notifications at all to the Gear.
I have other apps that communicate successfully two-way with the Gear but not a single notification from any app makes it through.
I have done all of the things suggested above to no avail.
The notifications are turned on, additional notifications for other apps are turned on, but still no notifications whatsoever arrive on the Gear. The Gear Manager app has permissions for Notifications
The Note 3 is rooted and running Android 4.3.
The Gear Mk.1 says: s/w V700XXUBNC1 Model SM-V700.
Any ideas?

I had a replacement phone and decided not to turn S Voice in the gear manager and had no SMS notifications. It took a few days to work it out.
I was getting other notifications but it was the SMS that wasn't coming through. I turned is Voice on in the phone but it still didn't work and realised it not turned it on when setting up the Gear Manager... I'd not checked the S Voice box on its first start up!
To go back I uninstalled the Gear Manager then reinstalled it and when the setup screen came back and I got my SMS notifications back by running S Voice on the Gear as well as the phone. It may not be the issue in this thread but just wanted to save anyone the hassle that gets this.

Email notifications, what info?

I have my Gear set up with my Note 3 and it seems to be working ok.
I am getting notifications through, but I cannot get into the email on the Gear to read it.
I understand that with GMail you only get basic info, but i was of the understanding that an email account set up in the stock email app, should deliver a notification and you should be able to get the text body of the email?
Has anyone else managed to get the text body?
If I try and select the email in the notifications I regularly get a error, "Sorry notifications has stopped"
Any help appreciated.

It works fine for me. Make sure you set email in the notfiications setting under settings in the Gear app. I get my gmail and hotmail accounts tru it and works perfectly. Text message, not so good, but email works like a champ.

So when you get an email notification (not Gmail) and it comes up on the Gear, you can touch it and the text of the email shows?

Hmmmm, out of interest, if you don't mind saying, what is the domain of the normal email?
I have a iCloud account set up as IMAP and a outlook.com (new Hotmail) account, and even after a reset of the Gear and Handset, and a fresh set up, the Notifications app on the Gear still regularly gives me a screen saying, "Unfortunately the Notifications have stopped"
Argggggggg!

You guys get the whole email message with the Gmail app or with the stock crap email client on the watch?

Just discovered that the app, dynamic notifications was interfering with my notifications, everything works fine now that I disabled it. So anyone else who uses that, check that out.

[APP] Enhanced notifications aka ATN Manager <[v1.2.3.1_pre] NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT>

[APP] Enhanced notifications aka ATN Manager <[v1.2.3.1_pre] NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT>
LATEST VERSION: v1.2.3.1_pre
Installation:
I stopped developing and distributing this app due to the latest Gear firmware release which brings full notifications to all apps. This is far superior to the ATN app and I will defer to Samsung on this one ^^
Thanks for the support and feedback, you guys made this a really fun experience! Cheerio

Can that be a sticky please?

Seems to be working for me. I set gmail and google voice and both seem to work.Google voice shows the message, gmail only shows the senders name and the subject, so you cannot see the body unfortunately.

Did u check both the email and Gmail boxes on the app and in gear manager? I only checked Gmail and I am still getting regular notifications.

On the gear manager email needs to be checked, thats the base requirement. Gmail et al are optional.
In the ATN Manager you can check pretty much any app, some work well some don't and some won't work at all. I use and tested a very limited set and can only recommend experimenting with apps you want to receive notifications for and hope they work. Maybe we can start a list somewhere (please not here though) on which apps show notifications and which don't

Thank you, and awesome work! If possible, the couple of features that would be great would be setting different alerts for different apps, and location/date based alerting. I posted the first request on Github with the explanation of getting hundreds of emails a day, and wanting those alerts to still go to my Gear, but not vibrate, while having text messages and appointment reminders still vibrate. For the second request, I was thinking it would be awesome to have my corporate email alerts stop while at my office, and start back up when I leave. Also, it would be nice to have the ability to schedule alert sounds and vibrations based on time of day so that I don't have them going off while sleeping.

Be carefull..this thing screwed up my gear...i did the install, an decided to uninstaal because i got alot of emails with only numbers in it..now i keep getting the same mail as notification, and i cannot get rid of it...i have deleted it numerous times on the gear, it is deleted on my note and from my server...i even reset the gear...still i get the same notification...any help would be appreciated...

Uninstall the GearManager and reinstall it again. That should work. My app seems to send something that the NSync process doesn't like. It basically keeps the notification in the database and resends it everytime
Sorry

Can you be a little more clear on exactly what you selected?

If I select messaging and facebook does this mean I will get double notifications ?

From my previous comment:

You do not need to have "Communication notifications: checked. I just changed that and it worked perfectly

Not working at all for me:T-Mobile N900T
Baseband - N900TUVUBMI7
Gear Model: SM-V700
Software Ver.: V700XXUAMII
Installed ATN Manager, enabled in security settings, check apps, rebooted phone and watch twice. Nothing.

You do not need to have "Communication notifications: checked. I just changed that and it worked perfectly

Works ok so far.
Just to be sure...
The icon is supposed to be the @email icon ?
Gmail and Google voice messages come in and both say "@BOB EXAMPLE or TEXT FROM BOB EXAMPLE" like EMAIL would.
I assume we turn off Gmail notifications on the default gear manager correct ?
Anyone have Instagram working ?
Lastly whats battery usage on the phone and gear like ? I assume its a drain in alpha stage just want to be prepared.

So does this or does it not show entire Gmail notifications?

^Make sure that you've ticked "Notifications" under Settings.
Also, several third party apps like GoSMS (even Hangouts) may interfere with the stock SMS notifications and can disable them. So try to disable/uninstall them and see if that does the trick.

Tried uninstalling all other apps , no luck
Finally called Sony support and got it resolved. Had to repair the software using the PC companion software installed on PC

GOSms Notification - Can't read text

Has anyone been able to figure out how to read the GOSms text on their gear? I get the notification from GOSms on my gear, I select the GOSms notification on the gear, but it only shows "New Message" instead of the actual message itself.
I've had to re-enable the stock app, so now I get two notifications on my watch, but end up having to select the stock texting app to be able to actually read the text on my watch.
I have GOSms selected in Gear Manager to send GOSms notifcations to my gear. Is there anything else within the GOSms settings I'm missing?

Check your settings in GO SMS, specifically the notification settings. Look for "Notification Bar Privacy Mode" and make sure it's "not" selected.

I don't know why you are having issues....
I have been using Gosms since day one and works fine in my gear.
Only downside is that you can not fast reply with the pre-configured texts through it.
You have to be using the stock messaging app which I find annoying. I wish there was a way to reply back.
But other than that it works fine. Nothing to do , just select it as an app from gear manager.
Are you running 4.3 on your phone ?
If not then that would be why. Before I upgraded to 4.3, it was not working either. Just what you described.

Anyone know if I root can I reply using Gosms? I asked in the Null rom thread and a Mod deleted my question and said to stay on topic...

No dice... It still only says "New Message".
Since I can't use the "canned message responses" from the Gear with GOSms anyways, I've just disabled sending GOSms alerts to my gear. I like being able to respond to the text message from my gear, and don't want to lose that functionality.
Now I have my phone send just regular text messages to the gear, and use GOSms on the phone as the default text messaging client.

What phone are you using? What version of Gear Manager?

Note 3, Gear Manager says version 1.6.111801

I was having hit & miss on the default sms app, so tried Go Sms - but I'm not getting anything on my watch from it. I'm on latest watch firmware & latest manager. Go Sms is selected manually in 'more notifications'.
I don't use a lock screen, but I tried turning it on to no avail. I also thought the Go Sms popup might cause the problem, but I turned it off - no help either.
Anyone know a SMS app that will get the pages to the watch 100% of the time with no delay ?

weird - i am getting the notification and i can read the message. i am using the stock UK ROM. only issue is when you receive a 2nd text from the same person. if you haven't opened it on the phone, the 2nd message will say "2 unread messages". the watch doesn't talk to the app to show that you read the message.
hopefully they make an app for the gear...
