This is my first android phone after using a Iphone for the past year.. I don't really care are about gps as I don't use it and as for lag its bearable to me. But the thing that seems to be grinding my gears is the default messenger app. Occasionally I would be texting a message to a friend and when I receive a reply, I would get a error message that says the android text messenger app has crashed and I am forced to close it.
It takes a reset or I have to wait like 5 or so minutes before the phone is back to normal.. I text more than talk so its a inconvenience when this happens. I just want to know if its a common occurrence or it might has something to do with the apps I have installed? I have no apps which modify my text in any way but I did disable the counter on when the when deletes old messages.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
my email notifications work perfectly, but my text notifications are so erratic that I'm considering returning the thing (& I love it).
Sometimes I get the notification right away, sometimes it comes in 5 minutes after the phone gets it and other times I don't get it at all.
Is there any fix for this??
I got my first text on my watch today since I had the watch last week. I really want to keep it, but I want to see what the possible Google watch will be later. Also for your question try restoring your gear and repairing with phone. I'm sadly sending mine back.

Reminder if you get a text or email while phone on, you will not get notification through the Gear.

I have had zero issues with text notifications. Make sure you uninstall any other txt messaging apps. When I had gosms installed I didn't get any notifications. Once I uninstalled it, I get perfect notifications.
If you download the nodded SMS a pk you can have texts come in without turning your screen on. This makes texts appear on the watch instantly cause the screen is off.

Download what??
Sorry about that. In the themes and apps section of your note 3s XDA you can download a modded MMS apk so your screen does not turn on when you get a text message
Issue probably is related to the screen turning on when a text arrives, which could be happening from another SMS app you have downloaded.

I installed that mod version of MMS and now messaging does not show up under notification selections of gear manager so I don't get any messaging notifications at all??

I find that notifications in generally slow; when they appear (usually within 5mins of appearing on phone). My Pebble is instant

I installed this app and set it to not light the screen on receiving a text, now my text notifications are almost instant.
That is great news. Glad I could help
All of a sudden, my incoming texts are not saving to my inbox. It all started after 10am today. I have my incoming texts before 10 but after that- it looks like i am just having a conversation with myself.
The pop up text appears but when I "X" out of it, the text is gone. I am using hand cent texting app but they're also not being saved to my factory text app.
Also, it's not set to delete messages after 200.
Help! Luckily I have the pop up setting enabled or I would not get my text. I've looked through the settings and can't find anything.
I fixed it.. it was my handcent app
Note 4 rooted, with newest update as well, running Nova. Using the default SMS Messaging app
4 issues I have been having.
1.) When I get SMS, the notifications in the dropdown won't go away.. even when I am in that person's SMS chat.. I have to swipe it away. This happens randomly.
2.) When I am chatting with someone on SMS and in the dialog screen, the phone does not vibrate or have a sound alert that lets me know they replied. I have put down the phone a few times not realizing that a reply had been sent, but my eyes were not on the screen to be alerted to it. If the screen is off or in another app, then I get sound and vibrate alerts.
3.) When I get a few new SMS backlogged, instead of showing me the names of my contacts texting me, it shows me their phone # and messages in the dropdown.
4.) This is random.. I got a call from my gf this afternoon, and before it pulled up my contact info for her (from my gmail contacts list), it pulled up her full name like a caller ID from back in the day.. Her full name is not in my gmail and her linked email is a hotmail address(but that doesnt have her full name either). Why did this happen and how can I have it for other people that arent contacts in my phone book?
The first 3 items are probably bugs in the Messaging app.. I think I remember #4 being offered by T-Mobile as a paid extra.. but I am definitely not paying for it.
I'm just having issues getting Gmail notifications to come through. Even when enabling notification through label settings.

#4 is probably the Tmobile NameID app. if i recall, there was a notification on my phone after the first bootup about a free trial or something. it displays caller ID for all numbers, supposedly, even for "unknowns" and such. since i disabled all the tmobile bloat ive not seen it come up. if you turn off the program in application manager it should stop working.
I had the Watch 4 pro and now the Watch 5 pro and have experienced the same issue. I'm using a Galaxy S22 ultra phone as well. I do not get notifications/alerts on my watch when I get text messages to my default text messaging app, Google Messages. I have received a notification only 2 times. Both times I had sent a text with my phone while at work with bad service, and the message wont send. I then get notified on my watch that the text didn't send. And at that point, and text messages that come through will vibrate on my watch until while that original notification is there. Does anyone have my insight as to whether this is a known issue with Google Messages and the Galaxy Watches? I have all the proper notification settings in place. Its not a deal breaker enough for me to go back to the stock messaging app, but it would be nice to get Google Messages to work properly with the notifications! Both the phone and watch are regularly updated.
