Does anyone have any recommendations on any keyboard apps? I want to be able to respond to text messages via the watch using a keyboard.
Also, what text message app do you use?
I use "Coffee" - works very well. Only keyboard I've seen is on Wear Mail and it's just too cumbersome for more than a couple words. I haven't seen a text messaging app with a keyboard but I'm sure they exist.

I am using the 8SMS app for messaging and Swype. Every once in a while when I try to send an SMS, the on screen keyboard will not pop up. Sometimes when I turn the phone into landscape it comes up, but usually not. Then I set the default messaging app to Messaging, and it still doesn't work.
Anyone have an issue with the Swype keyboard coming up?
Looking for a way to keep the native SMS app and keep the keyboard open after every sent message. Is there a way?
Thanks,

Love the app...best normal keyboard on an Android Wear messaging app so far. It just works.
2 questions....I also use Wear Mini Launcher and even with your app excluded in Wear Mini Launcher I cant use all the keyboard when I enter your app through a notification (the whole keyboard IS useable if I open the app normally). I realise this is a Mini Launcher thing, but just thought I would mention it.
And...I must have a way to change the vibration on a notification. Long isnt long enough. Other apps allow custom vibrate patterns. That would help on watches where the vibration is weaker, like mine.
Hi ruggs1234,
Thank you very much for reporting the issues. We will look into the problem that happens when Mini Launcher is used and will try to fix it.
Regarding the vibration, we will add more options.
Thank you very much for using Drextee!
Hi all,
We just released a productivity keyboard for smart phones. It has some of the technologies that you have been using in our Drextee Messenger.
For more information, please see https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-productivity-keyboard-t3697472 and let us know what you think.
Hello, I purchased the Wear Messenger app and I like except my phone has a SIM and I can use it without my phone so when Im out and need to text using this app I cant because it doesn't have the option to send a text from my phone OR my watch and which is what functionality Im looking for in a texting app besides a keyboard.
Now the default Messenger sms app has this built in but it has no keyboard and I really like the Wear Messenger one its easy to use for me. Any ideas on what I can do or if there is an app out there that has these features im looking for? Thanks!

Hi all. I'm having an issue where when I try tapping the microphone button on the stock keyboard the voice input thing pops up but then quickly disappears. Voice input is working in other ways just not from the keyboard. Has anyone else experienced this? Oh, it also does the same thing on Swiftkey.
SOLUTION: so it turns out this only happens while using the stock messaging (sms) client. Voice input works when I switch over to using, the very similar, Google messenger app. Also in Facebook messenger, email apps etc. Therefore it is not a problem with voice input or with the keyboard exactly, but how the stock messenger app interacts with the keyboard.
Anyways I'm curious to see if this happens to others with the Idol 4 (non-S). Comment below with your experience and hit the thanks button if this has helped you.
You should try the Google keyboard, it has swiping feature and on my phone the mic button works
I think the Google keyboard IS the stock keyboard. But yes I I've tried it.

No I think the default keyboard is the "Android keyboard" has no swipe. Google keyboard is different.
No issues here using both stock Google keyboard or SwiftKey.

Thanks. I must have a faulty unit. A factory reset doesn't fix it.

Yes i can confirm that the stock sms app is at fault. i use Textra for sms so i never noticed the issue.
