Went from pebble to gear now to sony smartwatch 2.
I have simple needs. Why when a email notification comes in, I get a pretty icon, sender, subject and poss 1 line of text and a lot of black space.
I don't want to then go to the notifications, and click on the email to see it. On the sony it uses the full screen to show all of the message, then goes away. If I want to see it again, I can go to the email app....
The gear is so much better, but I get 100's of emails a day and a 2 line notification sucks
Anyone ???
You only get to see whatever notification is available in the notification drop down on the phone
Some firmware and gear manager combinations don't give any email body with Exchange
If that's the case, is there a email client that will show email as they come in???? It's so nice to see the text of a msg while driving without having to fumble around....
I know it may come but k9 and touchdown have a extension for the sony that does it
In galaxy gear app under notifications there is a tick box for preview message, but it still gives you very little
Until Samsung release an sdk, no
You can install custom rom (null_) along with gapps and email client that can access internet via Bluetooth tethering
On the stock e-mail client on my N3 used with Exchange I get 14 lines of text, more when there aren't images in the original e-mail and the stupid "images are not supported" banner takes up the equivalent of two lines of text.

tether your gear with your phone, place a gmail widget on your homescreen. that way you will have instant access to your mails..
Will they release a sdk and more so we can all get alot more?

So you are saying you get 14 lines of text on the Galaxy Gear???
I'm on null 15 (waiting for null 20 before I update) and I don't get much of any email text. I use maildroid and have it set to push notifications from maildroid to my gear, but I don't even get text, just the option to see the email on the watch. The one thing I would love for a developer (or Samsung) figure out is to get email to push via Bluetooth (not internet tether). I don't need to see pics, just the message text. Unless I'm missing something, as of now there is now way to push and pull emails to the gear from the phone. If there is, someone please chime in on how to do this. BTW, I have 5 separate email accounts (personal and 4 business accounts) all through gmail so I get lots of emails. So I would need a way for all my accounts to be pushed. Again, any insight on how to do this please post. Thanks.

If I root and rom, dont I loose the native apps from the gear like the camera etc?
Look under notifications, and long press it. It will bring up a screen of supported apps it will push
No they are all still there.

I checked out the Smartwatch 2 the other day and thought the Gear was so much better in just about every way - except for the Gmail notifications! Someone else mentioned using the Gmail widget on the Gear, that might work out good...

I have done this already, but some of those apps notifications aren't pushed, for whatever reason. I'm hoping null 20 will include notiwidget and other tweaks that will allow better notification push, especially with email. I get my calls pushed just fine, with tablet talk my texts are completely pushed, it's just emails, and I get no text for those, only the option to "view on phone". Like I said, I'm sure some of this will be addressed in Null 20 and other tweaks for the Gear in the coming months.

Why did you think the Gear was so much better than the SM2? Curious.... I think by the time there is a SDK for the Gear there will be a Gear 2. I think mine is going back

I just felt the overall package and experience was better on Gear vs SM2. Just seems more refined. I like the gestures, finger swipes. You can do more with Gear as well, SM2 seemed to be all about getting notifications and not much else.
Now I have to admit, I got the Gear for around $200 with that T-Mobile promo a few months ago. So in my mind, I'm comparing two $200 devices side by side... and in that case, getting more bang for the buck with the Gear.
However, despite all thid, I agree - don't think there will be an SDK until Gear 2... which is rumored to be coming out this Spring. So I'm also thinking of selling my Gear and getting the Sony instead, lol. I should be able to at least get back what I paid for the Gear. Even though I like Gear better, having a smartwatch work across multiple, non-Samsung devices is more important to me. I don't always want to have to use my Note just so that I can use the Gear.
I am coming from the Note 3 and love the feature to assign a specific notification tone to someone in my address book. I checked my wife's LG G2 and it has the same feature, but my I am unable to find that in my M8. Is it possible to do this or do I need another application?

I use a 3rd party messaging app for individual sms notifications. Currently it's Chomp SMS.
You can apply a ringtone, but not a notification tone. U can use GoSMS, etc., to apply individual ringtones.

Not without a 3rd party app unfortunately.......I wish it did like the Samsung phones. I had the Galaxy S3 for a long time and I miss that feature
I'm now to my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact after using the Samsung S2 and S3. The thing I loved about both the Samsung phones was when I pressed the contacts icon to send a test all I had to do was swipe from right to left on the contact, likewise to call the contact all I had to do was swipe the contact from left to right.
Neither of these functions are available in my Z3C.
Is there a setting of an app that will give me that functionality?
The built-in backup is fine and I'm not interested in syncing with facebook etc just want a quick way to send texts or call from the contact list like the Samsung.
try tapping the contact's picture from the list, it'll open a popup with shortcuts for calling/texting/whatsapp etc
thanks but just tapping the contact will do the same thing, either way not as simple as a quick swipe on the contact to actually call or text the contact.
I'll keep searching through the google apps store.
well you can try ExDialer just note that the swipe to call/text option isn't activated by default and needs to be activated from the app settings

I've seen some threads asking about the google messages apk. but my question is:
My s21 ultra came with google messages by default as SMS app, I also have the Samsung messages app installed (I set it as default instead of the google messages app).
Is there a reason for the google messages app to have come as default? Are there any advantages to it?
p.s. I didn't really find the exact answer around the forum, if there is such answer, can you please point me to it and close this thread?
Regards

I like google messages mainly for the good integration of RCS and also because it has a web app. The UI is fine, darkmode is cool, so if I had to choose I'd go for Google.
Now on why it's google messages by default, I have no clue...
Personally, I like Google Messages, but Samsung Messages now has RCS too I believe. It just got it recently. But from what I've seen and used, Google Messages is probably the way to go. It's just a better experience overall. It can verify business senders, help you report spam messages, and also just a couple of different things that are convenient, like what Raiz mentioned above. I'd go back to Google if you want something that works better overall.
Thanks mates!
Will switch back to Google/Android Messages and test it out a bit more
I use Messages, the only AT&T bloatware app I use.
Edit, it's Samsung not AT&T
Here I am still using Textra lol
Google messages far superior easier to use, much easier adding gifs, emojis and attachments.
I use Google Messages it's really nice and simple to use.
Wish you could uninstall the samsung contacts, calendar, calc, clock, messages, phone etc.... it's the one thing that irritates me with samsung that they spend all this effort replicating what google already does a perfectly good job of.

You can remove using the adb commands. You can find the package name by using the apk analyzer app.
I was using Google Messages on my previous device, but with the S21 I couldn't set conversations to be mute (roaming messages i receive daily on my 2nd sim).
I can only make the notification silent for that conversation, but I don't even want the notification, which I cannot do.
Samsung Messages have this ability
I use signal. Better than both, has everything plus security and privacy.

Been out of the game for a long time. You can do this without root?

Well you can hide apps from the main user (you) with this trick but you can't actually delete the apk file from /system unless you have root.
I personally prefer Samsung messaging app, mainly because of the its UI.
However, the main advantage of Google messages is the availability of RCS by default, no matter where you live or which carrier you have. You can have RCS with Samsung messages but only if your carrier supports it.

Ah, really? I haven't had that problem with my S21U whilst using Google Messages. How were you trying to mute them?

In Samsung Messenger the no notifications option (bell icon with a bar on it) will not even show a notification in the Android notifications area (When I open Messages I will see there is unread messages in the silent conversation), while Google Messages it will still show a notification but without sound.
I use Google Messages because for some reason, MMS won't send or receive in Samsung Messeges.
If anyone has a fix for this....

IMO... Google doesn't really do a good job with most things other than its search algorithms, ad monopoly and data rape....

Exactly, especially their UI. I have a pixel phone and many years after the launch of material design Google still doesn't use it in all its apps. The apps feels completely separate, each has it's ow design and colors. Some apps have dark mode with full black background (setting app) while others have dark gray background (contacts, messages,...). Let's not talk about YouTube, which still doesn't follow MD 2...
I like how samsung use the same design language for all its apps and they pay particular attention to small details just like IOS
Hi - I'm currently using the default/Samsung Messages for texting and I've noticed there's never a "message sent" sound (like a swoosh or something) when you send a text - is this normal?
Also, when the app is open and you're texting/chatting with someone, there's no message-received sound like there usually is (when you're not using the app)... again, is this normal?
Thanks.
I believe that you can find all your answers here:
Use the Samsung Messages app on your Galaxy phone or tablet
The Messages app on your Galaxy phone or tablet can be used to send texts, photos, videos, and emojis. You can also mute or unmute conversations.
www.samsung.com
I don't think these are part of Samsung messages. Is it safe to assume you have arrived from an ios device?

No, I've always used Android... I've been using the Textra app for the last couple of years though. As you say though, these sounds are probably not part of Samsung Messages...
