Morning all
Got my gear on Saturday and everything was good , but now it does not seem to be talking to me anymore, like it I ask it to text someone and I have more than one contact with that name it used to speak and say , WHICH ONE WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SEND IT TO , and when I sent the message it would say OK IVE SENT THAT , but now its not saying anything , there is sound , but no voice
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Stephen

That worked, amazing , thank you
I had the same issue, however the voice toggle on the phone doesnt save when I close out s voice. It defaults back to the no voice.
Mine too. It seems to be a phone setting thing. I've looked and looked but can't figure out how to make it stick.

Hey Guys/Girls.
If this has been spoke about before then i sincerely apologise and please just redirect me.
How can i edit the notifications i get for text msgs etc at top of screen? I liked the function on my iPhone 4 where it had options of telling you who texted or displaying partial msg and name. Is there something similar for my Note?
regards,
Barry.

I am on the stock ICS ROM and all my texts are displayed on the status bar and also from whom they are. That's how it has been on Android from as long as I can remember.

Hey Brock,
Looking for a solution that cuts out notifications appearing on top bar altogether. Is proving problematic especially if i am showing my screen to someone and a msg comes through and they can read it :/

Try Go Sms Pro you can turn the privacy mode on and in the status bar there will be a notification "new message" instead of the message itself

What do you want?
Thanks abagnale, ill try it.
And hippo, i thought that was evident from my questions. The underlying requirement is to not have my entire msg displayed on notification bar, rather i would prefer a name or simple "msg received from" notification.
Thanks anyway.

I found this app and remembered that it does what you wanted. Killer feature? Filter notifications by keyword. I haven't tried it though.

Everything else works fine on the watch, but for some reason I can not call out. Every time I try to call out, it ends the call immediately. Anyone else having this problem? Is there something that I need to do to get it to work? It's weird cuz I can receive calls and get text, I can even send out text messages, just can't make calls through the watch.

Reset the Gear and see if that helps. May be a pairing with the Note issue if everything else is working.

In the Gear watch SETTINGS, go to the bottom and there is a RESET Gear option.

There is another reason it might fail, same with any bluetooth device i have used so far with android. If there is no default app for calls ( if you have Skype for example or Google voice and are relying on it prompting you which to use for each call) then it might fail silently too. workaround is to set a default for now. Not ideal though as you loose the option of choosing. (hopefully the gear will get the same choice dialog that the parent phone has)

My note 3 is rooted but it is still set on factory settings, so the phone call button is the default app for calls? Also want to point out, it wasn't working even before I rooted it

Tried a lot of different things to try and get this watch to call out. Just won't work.. Anyone else have other ideas?

You have to disable the lock screen that's the only way

Did this end up working? I'm having a similar problem. I can make calls from the gear, but once they answer and the screen turns off on the gear I press the power button and it flashes on then off again. The only way to make it work is to immediately tap the top right menu button once the call is answered. Same problem when receiving a call too. Really frustrating when I can't end the call and look like a tool asking the other person to hang up or pulling out my phone to do so lol.

FIXED
Sorry to resurrect only thread yet found the solution. Had the same prob, tried the same things without results.
SOLUTION:
On your phone choose Settings -> Device -> Call -> Call Accessories.
It is called "Outgoing Call conditions", and it allows you to set it up so that you can make calls even if the device is locked.
This worked and hope this helps others who may have the same problem.
Anyone else noticed that if you hold two fingers on any screen on the Gear you get a list of recently opened apps?
Much quicker to navigate this way sometimes.
You can also close the apps by swiping each one to the left.
Awesome tip. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Hmm ... Too bad that we can't clear the open apps.
I think we will see a lot of changes from Samsung with the gear. They rushed it to market, imho, without it being very mature. But then every new device has this issue.
I remember when people were complaining that the amount of available apps for Android paled in comparison to the iSuck devices.

You can also double tap
I knew about this but also if you double tap 2 fingers you get instant shortcut to volume / brightness settings and battery level
Wow this is a nice tip. Is this something that was in the manual that came with the device. I never read them
Doesn't this tip appear on menu that came with the box?

I start the morning off good with messages coming through, but then a few hours in they stop, and it is getting really annoying.... I am on latest gear manager and everything....anyone else have this issue? Or know of a fix?
If I can't consistently get messages to my watch, it is worthless.

I agree, that would make it worthless to me to.
I had problems with text notifications etc at first myself.
It took me a while to realize that for notifications to make it to the watch, I had to be running the stock messaging app (I had been using HandCent for years) & the phone screen had to be off at all times.
I installed the modded version of the stock TW messaging that has a toggle for screen on/off when a message came in. After switching to that (plus using the Samsung email app as opposed to GMAIL), I now get all my gear notifications almost instantly and I love the thing.
I also loaded my custom ringtones to the gear so it will ring a lot louder.

I installed the inverted MMS app. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

It could I suppose, I have found that absolutely anything that turns the screen on will block the notification from getting through to the watch.
I don't use a lockscreen (I just go straight into the phone from the home screen/power buttons)
I saw a post from someone saying that lock widgets will mess up the gear but I don't know if it's true.
I know mine works perfectly and I'm not updating ANYTHING at this point!!

I notice that my gear 2 neo does not receive text message notifications sometimes. I dunno if it's a bug in the software. Anyone else noticing this?
make sure your using the defalt messaging app for the phone , I know with the s5 It wont work unless I use default message app , I can see notifications from handscent sms
ect, but cant reply to them , only default app can reply , other then that seems to be all ok here.
Yeah that's the first thing I had to do when I got it. Unfortunately it still hasn't been sending the notifications to my gesr. Any other notification works tho.

Out of curiosity did you do a factory reset on the watch or the phone? (not sure if watch one is possible, but just wondered lol). I get my Neo tomorrow and excited.
I did a factory reset on the watch. It's in the bottom in the settings.
