Anyone successfully using this yet? I'd like to use the SMS feature of hangouts, but still receive my text notifications on the gear. However I don't want to get double notifications on my phone.
Anyone tried this out yet?

Yes ive done it. I did disable notifications from the stock samsung messaging app. Theres only one downside to it. You only get notified that youve received a hangouts message on your gear but you cant read it on the watch

Way to dig up an irrelevant thread from 3 months ago. Since the Gear Manager update in December i think it was, you can get previews of notifications on the watch from all apps, including Hangouts.

If you install null_, then tether the Gear to the internet, you can use the play store on the Gear to install the full hangouts app on the watch. Then you can reply to messages on the watch, but you'll have to keep internet tethering on to do it.

Hi, have you personally done this? I got my gear a few days ago. And i havnt flashed a custom rom on it yet. But if you can confirm you have done this than i will most certainly go ahead with it! Thanks.
you i have done this. It only works for "internet" hangout messages though, not SMS.
keeping internet tethering enabled all the time is a battery killer for the watch and the phone though.

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Captive to do a reminder that an unanswered SMS message has come in? My old phone would chime every 5 minutes until I read the message and this was kind of nice.
Thanks
check out an awesome app named handcent.
I should install that on my husband's Captivate. He NEVER checks his notifications and sometimes it goes days before he gets my texts.
Stock SMS app does not support this. Most have gone to 3rd party apps, most popular being Handcent.
Missed Reminder is a good app if you still want to use the stock SMS app.
Thank you, I'll give that a try.
handcent SMS has a option where if u didnt check the message u can set a reminder...i set mine to every 5 minutes
I use tasker and it works awesome!

That's what I use and it works great for SMS, MMS and Gmail. Only gripe is that it doesn't support regular e-mail.
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.

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.
Hey guys, has anyone tried it yet with the gear? Was wondering if text messages show up or if it's the old hangouts alert that makes you look at the phone

samsung do not cooperate with google with software. hangout is a pretty new communicator, although i haven't tried on gear, i can bet it will not work. at least not out of the box, this is something that has to come with new firmware for our gears..

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.

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...

I have that. The odd part is that I have gotten 2 notifications out of dozens from Go Sms in the last week or so.
Or do I NEED to use the TouchWiz messaging app? Because I use EvolveSMS, so i was wondering if I'd still receive text message notifications on the Gear? Thanks.
Was gonna buy one today, but I saw online that the Galaxy Gear 2 is dropping in a couple of weeks with the S5! So I'll probably just wait for the Gear 2. But still wondering this question... thanks to anyone that ca help!

I can send a tweet from mine. Although a bit of a different topic...I can also start my car from mine (directed smart start), control my thermostat at home (Nest), watch live TV (Slingplayer), get emails, check sportscenter app, sign into bank app, check fandango etc. You can do just about anything with it. Granted some things might not be as practical as when done on your phone but can be convenient on the gear in certain situations.
Oh... And I get my text notification via Handcent sent to my gear but as mentioned before I can't reply directly from that notification. I usually just send a text command through s voice to respond.

That's F'ING SICK!!! Can't wait, I'm 100% getting the Gear 2 when it comes out, I'm so excited. But what do you mean by your last statement "I usually just send a text command through s voice to respond."??
I get my text notifications through Handcent but you can't type a response or a pre typed response from that message view. I just activate s voice on the gear and say "text whomever". The gear will process that and respond with "whats your message?" I speak my message, it responds by showing a printed version of what I said and asks to confirm if I want to send it. I say yes and it sends the text.
Oh and for most of the other things I mentioned above, the gear of course requires Internet access via blue tooth tethering. Easily doable though.

It isn't a "direct" response per se but when I use s voice to send a text back to the person that texted me it sends it and it falls in line with the rest of the conversation in Handcent. If that makes sense.

I use GoSMS, but whenever I get MMS I open up the stock messaging app (so I can respond while watching the video). Any messages sent/received go to both Messaging and GoSMS, so if I were to use a gear, I imagine I would get notifications on the gear through GoSMS and then just use S Voice to respond (through Messaging). When I go on my phone later, both SMS apps would still have the entire conversation.
Problem is what about when/if your phone is running KitKat and you can only run 1 messaging app....?!
