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

You can read SMS from Hangout on the Gear. I'm on null 17. I unchecked notification from stock SMS.

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.

Hi, i took the plundge last night and installed Null rom on my Galaxy Gear, and tried what you suggested and it works!! Thanks alot for the info!
Before I updated to HO 2.0, whenever in drive mode, my phone would read my whatever text messages I got while driving. Now since I've updated, its not doing it anymore. Anybody running into this problem?

I would imagine that Hangouts SMS will cause lots of problems in the future for many more apps.

Oh happened to me today thought my phone was just acting strange didn't know it won't read sms from hangout and another thing does it only work for contacts?
Probably more difficult but they really need to incorporate hangouts into touchless control of

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?

I can't even get the gear to say new message. I'm using hangouts now and I am actually liking it

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...

Very odd. I'm on a stock rom (rooted). Do you use a lock screen, and do you use the GO Sms popups ?

I have a lock screen but don't use the pop up. It all isn't great because in order to keep it working, I have to go into the app and open the text. If not, it doesn't work for the next text.

New gear manager, still no luck. Tried all the settings again (lockscreen on/off, popup on/off). I have to be missing something somewhere.
You would need the MK7 firmware that allows full notifications from all providers.

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 use EvolveSMS and the notifactions work I can even read them just can't respond with the gear or S Voice just open on phone to respond

That kinda really sucks lol. That's the whole point to be able to respond too!
You could always send through the stock messaging app but personally i don't like S Voice kind of slow and the sound is always broke up compared to Google voice

What else can you do thru the Gear, rather than using your phone? I know you can make/accept/deny calls... but what else?! Can I, let's say, send a tweet?

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.

How is it that you can respond to texts through S Voice i deleted the stock messaging app and use EvolveSMS but can't respond with it
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
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.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
To me it sound like you are sending through the stock app but prefer to use handcent do you still have the stock app on your phone..

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....?!
Hey guys, even though I have my Gmail notifications set as "sound only once", every time I get a new email it plays the notification sound. How can i shut that off?

If you want no notification within the app uncheck notifications.

I want it to only go off once, then stay silent for each additional email I get. This is the first phone I've had do this, my N5 only notifies me once, and each email after that if I don't check them doesn't play the notification sound.
I figured you meant something more complex than no notifications at all. I don't understand why you want to be notified of only one Gmail per day...... What's the point of being notified at all if it's only for one email? Is it a email from a certain sender that usually comes before the rest? I'm just curious.

Not per day, if i get an email and don't check it, every time an email comes in after that it plays the notification sound every time. Like I get multiple emails in a row from XDA subscriptions, I don't want it to play the sound every time. Gmail has the option to notify once or for every email, I have it set as only once, but that doesn't work. That kind of explain it better?
It will notify once for that original email if you get another email from another person or a second post was made on Xda it will send another email and you will be notified again but for that email not the original one you got that you still didn't check. That is simply how it works

That's not how it worked on multiple Motorola phones before this one, my GNex, or my N5. Only this phone. I've been using Android for over 2 years since Gingerbread all the way to Kit Kat and never had this happen on any other phone. I'm just trying to figure out what it is about this phone that is causing it.

I got it now. What's weird is you quoted me and I got a new email because of that but did not get a notification..... Which is what you want. It appears to be working the way you want for me but not for you. Have no idea why that would be. My guess is it's something with your account and not the phone itself.
