I've searched google up and down and cannot find the answer to my question. The notifications on the watch are great, but is it possible to view the entire message on the watch? I find it odd that if I receive a text I can't view the whole thing and need to pull out my phone. I was hoping someone developed a way around this.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
You can find a lot of information here on the forum when you search for it and read up on it.
It used to be possible, on earlier versions of Gear Manager when you ticked "full preview" in the Gear Manager app.
However since a few months, Samsung has updated their Gear Manager app and since then not all apps show full preview anymore.
You can try to install an earlier build of Gear Manager.
Thank you for your post. I will do some more research on that.
I think i'm going to root and install the Null rom, hopefully it will help solve a lot of the annoying restrictions of the stock software.

So not to derail the watch gear faces thread, I brought up a problem in there were I wasn't able to get some of the watchfaces to appear correctly, Missing day of week, ect... and it was suggested to me to rather not apply them with Watchstyler but to just do within Gear Manager. Well at this point, this is were I figured out Gear manager wasn't wanting to change the selected watch face so I proceeded to try to disconnect and re-connect in gear manager and had all sorts of problems. I managed to finally get reconnected to Gear manager but it wouldn't complete the "Restore from backup" so I ended up partially wiping my Gear somehow in the process of reconnecting. I'm able to get Gmail, Handcent, ect.. alerts in the "Extra Notifications" selections but I have stopped getting regular email alerts now for some reason.
Also, the watchstyler problem persists were I download a given watch theme per that thread and go through the exact instructions of creating a theme then deleting it's dir contents and copying over the newly unzipped one and am able to get most functions as replicated in the given theme but missing parts like digital stuff, day of week, ect...
Help! :silly:
PS: I'm running Null Rom 21 w/ Apex launcher.
Update: Ok, I resolved my Watch theme problem by updating the Watch Styler program on my phone through Gear Manager - Samsung Apps. Didn't realize I had downloaded an old version along the line externally somewhere.
My lack of getting email alerts to the Gear still persists however.
Running 4.4.2 on a rooted LGG2. After reading on the forums, I have my (completely stock) GG connecting to my G2 and it seems to work, BUT I don't get any notifications, music player doesn't work... facebook app doesn't seem to work and I get an error saying
"Samsung apps not installed"
My path so far has been to install an older version of watchmanager 1.6.132701, along with the apps.
The watch connected after that.
I then installed the updated watch manager 1.7.031004
My watch then updated itself, and rebooted twice.
I have since installed several apps (ebay and facebook) from the forum, but they don't seem to communicate with the watch properly.
So my next step is installing a custom ROM on the watch?
Will bluetooth conversations on the watch ever work?
If I could get ebay, mail, and text notifications working I'd probably be satisfied.
Thanks for any help!

null rom is about the only one available atm
nullproject.net
null rom has Bluetooth tethering profile which will allow apps on watch to connect to internet
check the themes and apps section for notification options
check other device threads in gear forum to see how they achieved best setup

Thanks for the replies guys.
So if I install the null rom, will I be able to use the bluetooth audio function of the watch to make and receive calls?
I always used to be able to read any short gmail message in my gear 1. Now it just says Gmail but nothing else...no body nor even who it is from. I still get complete messages from samsung note 3 stock email app. Outlook app also only notifies how many messages I have. Does anybody know why I don't get complete gmail messages in gear 1 any more? I am on latest version of gear manager.

In the latest versions of Gear Manager, Samsung disabled the option to view full notifications for several apps (the apps you have installed onto your phone, not the ones already implemented onto the Gear itself).
Here's how you can revert back to older version and get back all full notifications : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-gear/help/broken-notifications-gear-manager-heres-t2915460
Only "problem" is that it keeps nagging, after you are back to old version, to update Gear Manager.
Just ignore those nagging messages untill a newer version is out which enables full notifications again.
It wouldn't work. Perhaps because I'm not rooted? I uninstalled everything. I believe it was 5 different apps. I shut off watch. Shut off bt and data. Installation went fine. It showed my watch as paired but would not allow me to change any settings until it scanned for device....so I let it scan but watch off so it found nothing but finally shut itself off. Next I turned on watch and scanned several times (scanning from gm automatically turns on bt). It could never connect to watch. Watch on, bt on but it just could.not find watch even though it was already listed as paired. I tried resetting watch and restarting phone but nothing helped. Finally I turned on data and I could not cancel the forced update.
Are you on Tizen or Null ?
Watch doesn't has to be rooted, I performed same procedure both on my rooted S5 as well as on my non-rooted S4.
Both have older version now with full notifications.
I'm on Null and not Tizen
Tizen
100% stock qnd updated note 3
Maybe you should "downgrade" (although it's actually upgrading) to Null.....it's better anyway
Nah, maybe the next gm update will fix. Thanks anyway. Wish this forum were more active. Folks may know other solutions but nobody reads it anymore
I have been trying all the advice I can find for two weeks. It's an obsession now, it's not healthy. Any help would be life changing. I have a lot of experience flashing roms and tinkering, I've been doing this for several years... like since CM7 with multiple phones. usually I can follow some instructions and make things work but this has been an epic fail.
I have a galaxy s3 and an s4 I've tried gear manager on both.... connects fine with a touchwiz ROM on the phone(s)., but I despise touchwiz and I'd rather get rid of the watch if I have to. I almost always use AOSP roms... currently CM13. gear will not work. I've tried editing build.prop changing samsung to htc. I've downloaded .apk's for gear plugin and samsung accessory service and install before and after gear manager. I've tried multiple older versions.
the latest stumbling block is an error message that says, "check if your phone is compatible and if the samsung gear app needs to be updated"
has anyone seen this message, I can't find any similar problems on this site or anywhere else?
am I missing something. did they update the gear app and now previous solutions are not working?
Thanks for your help. XDA usually saves me! I have never had to ask for help before.
I had the same issue with my Galaxy s5 kltedv with AICP Nougat custom rom. I got the Gear S3 and downloaded the gear manager app but it wouldn't open due to it "detecting and unauthorised OS." In the meantime I've had to return to the stock touchwiz (MM) rom to get it to work. Seems ridiculous that the app won't open with a custom rom yet it can be used on non Samsung phones. I'm still hunting around for an answer/solution so can't help you out just yet.
Found a work around answer for you at https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/samsung-devices-running-cm13-12-1-pair-t3290076
2Mecky: Try editing your build.prop and replace your make with "google" or "htc". I've been able to get as far as getting the manager to open on my S5, but I can't get it to detect my Gear 2. I just got the watch today, though so I haven't had a lot of time to mess around. I am kind of surprised that I was able to get this far, though.
hi all,
i bought a new s10 a couple of weeks ago and after setting up everything and installing all of my apps which come from the playstore I am randomly receiving spam whenever i unlock my phone or during the use of whichever app.
what happens is that either chrome or (after i have uninstalled chrome) the samsung browser came in front and opens some **** websites..
i hope someone can give me some advice/hint where to look at, before i have to resignate and start by scratch.
what i already tried, is to uninstall a lot of apps i could have imagined to be the culprit and i also installed things like airpush detector, hoping they could find something.
PS: sorry if posted this thread in the wrong section. did not know where to put at all.
thank you and regards

problem solved.

I found this article...
What you have to do is… go to the Settings followed by Application Manager or Apps here you will find a list of all the installed apps in your android phone. So scroll downwards and you will find an Unnamed App with no thumbnail installed in your phone… most probably this app appears at the last of the list. Just uninstall this app and you are all set. All thing become normal and avoid installing apps from any of the unknown resources.
