Hi folks
I've recently bought a chinese MTK powered smartwatch. Theres an application for it, and it should be pushing my notifications to the watch. But the only notifications im getting, is the battery is low notification ! Everything else works with my phone/watch (sms, music control...)
I've tried with my galaxy tab on 4.4.4, I got notifications. On my S4 with 5.0.1 got notifications too. It's just not working with my moto X on 5.1. Have you got some ideas please? It makes me really sad not to get notifications

Try 'Truly SmartDevice' from Google playstore. Before you connect the phone open the app and switch from SPP to GATT. you'll see it say's SPP as so as you open.

We know there is an issue with not all notifications going to the Gear.
We can solve this with Android 4.3 and new notification access APIs.
I am working on an app for the Gear to do this - I will keep everyone updated on this thread.
Awesome thanks

The notifications API would give the Gear access to the content so it can actually be displayed or is it to mirror whatever is in the notification bar ?
Great!!
Awesome!!!

Is there a published ..something.. about this issue, because I'm only getting a small fraction of sms/email, which is the most important thing for me. Hoping you can do better then Samsung!!
There is an app called Pebblify which is exactly what the gear needs.
You choose which notifications to push to the gear, and it pretty much sends exactly what is in the notification bar to it.
That said, I really like the gear notifications now which I can push a button on the gear and pull my phone out of my pocket and go straight to the message.
Yup, but I guess thats doable. It really is only a matter of figuring out what type of guesture is used there. Maybe nfc proximity? not sure.... anyways once thats figured out, sending the intend should be trivial.

In the gear manager, settings, then select notification, you can select which notifications appear. I have turned off Google+ and GMAIL. I don't use gmail, because I have several email addresses and only want one place to check. But the email app works great and sends most of the email to the gear. Hope this helps!

Not quite the same thing. Check out Pebblify in the market and you will see what I mean. You can have any notification from any app pushed to the Pebble verbatim as it appears in the notification pull down.
That is only part of the equation. The native notification app is just too limited. Ultimately I want to see the same notifications I get on my phone, and the ability to jump directly to the item when clicking the notification or using the gesture.

Yes, I agree with that as well, but to be fair you are comparing V2 Sony to V1 Gear. The Gear will get there also, remember the Sony didn't have that out of the box either.
The Gear's 3rd party software is just starting!
Hence I want to see it eventually. But from what I played with so far with the gear none of the features I mentioned are out of scope for a decent notification app.
I dont expect it to be release over night though or even with all the functionality I would like

The notifications are really a huge drawback on this beautiful device.
I turn off messaging notifications and use sms popup and it won't show up on the GG. Google Voice is a no show.
Really hope a 3rd party app can address this massive shortcoming as it appears Samsung has no intention to.
Please enlighten us how development is going??
Hmm i would like to know that too. If what I read is correct, an app on the phone that subscribes to the NotifiactionListenerService should receive all or a limited set of notifications on the phone. If a companion app on the gear can communicate with the app ( not sure how the new BT stack works but I guess it could be in the form of writing to a Parcel, receiving it on the companion app, and pushing the notification content to the screen..... ) it would allow all notifications to display and not just the ones the Gear Manager allows currently.
I will start experimenting a bit with how the gear and phone communicates and how an app could possibly either hijack this channel or create it's own. It would be great if anyone who has more development experience in android join in to see this through.

Hello, as of this morning i no longer get sms notifications on my gear...all other notifications as email,incoming call, missed calls,etc still work...i already reset the gear and removed and reinstalled the manager software...still no luck...anybody any ideas?
I was fine until I updated the gear manager. When I had the same problem as you. I used Titanium Backup to restore the previous version, no luck

any updates installed?
Try lockin your phone (no delay), that did it for me, Too bad cause i don't like lockscreens
Hmmm ...
Same thing happened to me! I've been trying to figure out what's going on all day!
I don't recall having received any updates for the Gear or Gear Manager ...
make sure your screen is off
Screen off and device auto locked doesn't help.

I find a quick disconnect and reconnect fixes this....(in Gear Manager). Shouldn't have to do it though...I agree.
Is it possible because of the hangout update? Coz the
Latest update makes hangout do the sms...

Ok, So I have have a Galaxy Gear and Nexus 5, I can answer phone calls, change my clock, etc. I have enabled Gmail, Facebook notifications on in both ATN Notifications and Gear Manager 1.6.132701 but nothing is coming through. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Those are the exact steps I did but I still can't get notifications to work.
I'm in the same boat. Followed the directions 100% and all I can do is call.

Could be that Samsung patched the vulnerability

I've spent hours and hours trying to get things right on the n5 and gear. No such luck. Was able to connect and receive calls and transfer images sometimes. Notifications never worked unless using a third party app like tablet notifier. With tablet notifier using null ROM, I didn't need to use any gear manager to get that to work. The answering calls and transferring photos won't work. Just notifications do.

My gear works perfectly with Nexus 5. I followed the instructions here (http://pocketnow.com/2014/02/07/galaxy-gear-with-the-nexus-5) and it works. make sure you dont miss step 12 (and follow all steps in order). also use the ATN Manager from post #13 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596455&page=2
Have you set the security setting allowing ATN manager to receive notifications?
I had to use the .111801 version to get calling, contacts and photo transfer to work. Also i got Atn manager 1.2.2 to work, not 1.2.3

WORKING!
For those that are using other device and not Samsung Devices....
OK I was able to get this working and I will try my best to explain it for everyone so you can understand:
Uninstall any versions of ATNManger you already have installed
Install ATN Manager 1.2.2 on your "Phone" (In my case, Nexus 5), apk HERE
Install the "Watch.apk" inside ATN Manager 1.2.3.1_pre.apk on your "Galaxy Gear", apk HERE
Go to settings on your "Phone" and find security, inside there find "Notification Access" make sure ATN Manager is checked
Open ATN Manager on you "Phone" and check all apps that you want to get notifications from (example: Gmail, Hangouts, Google+, Facebook)
You should now get notifications on all of your apps that you checked, my wife even gets them for all her games.
Too bad it only lets you know you got a message and then you have to go to phone to see it, but you still get the notification if say your phone is on silent. Would be great if we could make this work from Nexus 5 through GearManager as it is better but no luck there for me.
Also while I am at it, here is how to get the WatchStyler app working so you can change your watch faces:
Open GearManager on your "Phone"
Connect to your Galaxy Gear
Click on Clocks to see the list of clocks
With Clocks open hit your home button to minimize Gear Manager
Install latest WatchStyler app (1.1.00) from HERE
Open WatchStyler app
Now open GearManager (that is still running) and you will then see the WatchStyler option, choose it
Make a new watch face in WatchStyler and then open GearManager
Choose the Gear next to WatchStyler and choose the watch face you just made and choose apply
You should now see your new watch face on your Galaxy Gear
Hope this helps everyone.
Hello.
My gear is set up using Null 23 and Triangulum Kernel 1.0.1
I am using Gear Manager 1.6.132701.
My LG G2 is using android version 4.4.2. It is using a stock rom.
I installed the gearmanagerstub, gear manager, the 21 (19 really) APKs, and I used the Samsung apps that have the touchwiz requirements removed.
The only thing that's working properly is making phone calls using the gear, the camera, and the voice memo.
No notifications are working. SMS isn't working. Samsung Apps shows "No data" on my phone.
I tried to sideload the Gear version of the Kakaotalk app and it isn't showing up anywhere on the gear even though it says it is installed.
I would really like to get SMS notifications to work. I'd also like to get Samsung Apps working. Does anyone know what I may have done wrong?
Edit: I downgraded to gear manager 1.5. The Call Log now works, but notifications still dont seem to work. I'll update with more details later if I get anything working.
Ok now I've never had issues using multi window with my slingbox app but I cannot get it to work properly! I used to always watch the game on slingbox app and look at my fantasy team without issues.... Now when I interact with second app other than slingbox app it stops and goes to connect screen! This also happens while I search for opponent in my clash of clans game! It always worked before but same thing if I interact with second app it resets the game! This is frustrating the f out me so if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

By the way it's not just my Note 8 my nephews does same thing.... His is Verizon and mine is at&t variant! I'm really hoping it's a setting I'm missing.... I've tried a few things in developer options and nothing!

I also have this issue. I'm on Verizon. I used to be able to play nfl mobile and waze at the same time on my note 5 but the nflmobile will stop if I touch anything on the waze app. Same thing applies with nfl mobile and any football fantasy app (nfl, espn). Would be a shame for such a powerhouse of phone to now be limited.

I'm currently having the same issues. Would be nice to know if its just on some device or every device. Do you have a different launcher installed other than the native Samsung? I currently have Nova Launcher installed, not sure if that is the problem but if I remeber correctly when I first obtained my Note 8 I didn't have this issue. I just realized it recently, not sure if its because of the Update or the Launcher.
I was running the stock Samsung experience and had the same issue. I can't say if it did prior to the update though.

Same issues unlocked N8. If i open a game (Dominations) and Notes...the game turns all pink and it times out.
@On another topic - does anyone know if we can work 2 apps in landscape? I'm quite surpised that the note with its unusual long shape cant do multi window on landscape
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
I am also running Nova launcher but apparently that's not the issue! I have a feeling that the issue started when Android went to native multi window so its an Android issue! Apperently when Samsung provided the os with multi window everything worked! I could be wrong but it makes sense and I believe multi window came on nougat but it's just a hunch. Regardless it's really annoying and I hope someone knows about it and is working to resolve the issue!

I was thinking the same thing, but then was wondering why I can't find anything on the web regarding this problem. As if it doesn't bother anyone else or it might just be my device that is having this issue.
Yeah did a search before even posting a question and came upon this thread. I guess only a few care about this lol. Hopefully a solution does comeby :/

I have been running Waze and another traffic app next to each other in multi window mode (portrait and landscape mode works). Initially it was working more or less fine. It does happen that if the traffic app is the active screen, Waze would not show any updates on the map. Waze does show updates on directions as text on top of the screen. However after the last November update, only the active screen is working and the other screen does not update. I noticed if you have two apps that plays media, it cannot be played simultaneously. Using Whatsapp and something like Youtube doesn't freeze the media playing.
Anybody found the solution yet?
