No you cant reply to any third party SMS using voice/keyboard.
If order to reply you must be using the stock SMS app.

When you say you can reply using the stock SMS app, do you mean using S-Voice or can you side load keyboard app and reply using the stock SMS app?

you can use tablet talk to pair with your phone and with the keyboard installed you can then reply back to text messages which are relayed to your gear thru tablet talk.

You should be able to perform the tablet talk paring on stock gear no root needed. Great things await once u jump on board with null. Once you try null you will never go back. If you want go to null's website and sign up for the chat. Some awesome folks there to help you decide. Just click on fomeys signature.
okay thanks i looked at the site and it looks amazing one more question does an app like tablet talk work with third party sms apps like Textra

I have the Samsung Galaxy Note, the TMobile SGH-T879. I have not found an application and/or ROM combination that will allow me to record telephone calls without using speakerphone.
To be clear, I want to record both sides of a conversation on all incoming and outgoing calls without having to use speakerphone.
Has anyone here been able to do this on this particular phone? If so, exactly what did/do you use?
Call recorder app by skvalex. It works straight out the box using cm10 but if you are on a touch wiz rom you must first change the system to r/w before installing. Only downside is it is 10 dollars but is perfect and does exactly what you are asking for. You also need to be rooted.

New (side-effect) problem from this ROM
It records calls just fine; but, a new problem has presented itself. The phone will no longer block calls in any call blocking program's blocked list. I have tried six call blocking programs, one of which worked before the custom ROM.
Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

Using the Samsung email app but also not getting texts
Reminder, if the phone is on, you will not get a notification to the Gear.
Ian B
Being on different carrier should not matter, I am on Tmobile. Go into the Gear app-settings-notifications, make sure you have that turned on and then hit the word notification to go into submenu and check native email and text apps.
Next, put the phone to sleep, turn it back on, send yourself a text and put phone to sleep right away. Give it about a minute and the text should ring on the phone and in the Gear.
haha you have to turn them on
go to the galaxy gear app on the phone, click settings, click notifications and select messages and mail then hit the thank button for me! haha

When you created the gmail account in native email app, did you do manual set up or auto? You may want to delete the account, recreate it by selecting auto after you enter the email address and password. On the next screen, there is a drop down box, select PUSH. Try this, send yourself an email from PC or something, keep the phone asleep and see if you get the notification on the phone followed by notification on Gear. Make sure under the Gear app settings, notifications for email is checked.
Report back if not working.

So, I'm confused about the emoji on our phones.
It looks kinda like the emoji I'm used to, but did they re-skin all the icons to a new look?
And if it is emoji, why can't my wife see it on her Galaxy S4? And when I get emoji from my buddy's S4, all I see is a square.
I can send and receive the emojis from the keyboard fine. Are you using the ones where you long press the microphone button and pick the emoji keyboard?

Sending emoji to my wife's S4 (which just has the stock texting app) only show up as squares.

The phone sends the Samsung Emoji as MMS Messages thus anyone can see them... it does not covert iPhone Emoji to be visible... however since you are using GoSMS, go in the Play Store and download the GoSMS Emoji plugin and problem solved... you can send and receive real Emoji in GoSMS with it.
Ugh, I have no idea why after all these years no stock Android texting app has native emoji support. So I guess Samsung thought sending little pictures instead of integrating emoji was a good idea?
Idiots.
I used to use GoSMS on my S3, but I have no interest installing it again given all the ads and crap they've added. I guess I'll live with looking at squares when people send them to me.

Since I have a houseful of women (wife, teenage girls) with Iphones, having Iphone compatible emoji support was a must. Handcent works great! just install the emoji plugin, and all will be great! No Ads, just a great client (especially since they fixed the MMS problem I was having with my Note 3/ATT).

If you are rooted you can use the multiwindow manager app and add any of the 3rd party apps to it. I've done it with Chomp before.

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.

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!!

For now, stock app until I find something I like better.
I was using Textra on my S3 but it didn't want to work well with kitkat so I went to hangouts. I think hangouts could be a really good app, but right now its terrible in the way its organized. Contacts are a mess to sort through, and every google account you have has the ability to send messages which makes things very difficult to manage if you end up sending messages from more than one.
I'm not a huge fan of the stock app...kind of ugly, but it works well.
I use Textra and I love it.
Thanks for the info. I will try out those. I liked the stock app but was getting lag using it. It want bad but bad enough to drive me nuts. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
I really liked the stock app until I imported all of my old texts from my I7777 and then the lag was unbearable. Nearly a 2 minute wait. Now I'm using Hangouts. Not as many features, but no lag.
Textra
EvovleSMS (this is the one I use)
HelloSMS
I tried all the popular ones...Go SMS, Textra, hello SMS, Hangouts, Evolve, etc. Hated all of them. I ended up sticking with chomp SMS. It's from the same developer that made biteSMS for the jailbroken iPhone, so I'm familiar with it. Plus, you can customize the theme to your liking. It has all the popular features: popups, quick reply/compose, delay sending, scheduled sending, privacy, etc.
Ever since my SGS 2, I always end up back with Textra. Black theme. Light, fast, actively developed and has all the necessary features. It's not overblown and just does it's job well.
I've been using Chomp for a long time and have been very happy with it. I've been trying out the stock messaging app for a few days, compared to past Samsung messaging apps, I'm impressed, but I'll probably be installing Chomp again soon...
Are there any messaging apps or themes for a messaging app that would make it flat? No matter how much I edit Chomp or Textra it just still doesn't look flat.

I use hangouts as my stock mainly because I can directly chat with my Google contacts. I have little reception where I live but still have WiFi so I can message my friends with android over a hangout instead of an SMS. I also very much like the layout and Android Emojis. I never liked textra, chomp, or handcent.

to get out of it I have to swipe to unlock then open up the messaging app it wont let me click the msg I got from the lock screen .
Was using ChompSMS but was getting a bit slow, switched to EvolveSMS but it's still really buggy, using Textra now. Slim, fast, quick reply / compose and not bogged down with tons of settings. Simple theme & emoji setup too. Be sure to download Textra emojis from app store.
since we are discussing the messaging apps, has anyone been getting random message alerts on old messages in the stock app? Phone was sitting on the counter last night charging and I heard it go off. Came out to find an alert for a message from tuesday that had already been read. Had this happen once before as well...alert on a previous read message. Never seen anything like it
From the sound of your needs, it seems like the stock app would suit your needs best. Why not use it? I don't really understand why some people seem to force themselves to use third party apps if the native ones work fine. :what:
