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.

But you must bluetooth tether, correct? If so that is a possibility.....

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.
Hello guys.
I hope someone knows the answer to this because I can't find any information anywhere about it.
When I get a FB message on my Urbane all I get is a notification that I have a message. Ironically, there is an option to reply, but if you can't see the actual message while would you reply?
The notification for whatsapp messages on the other hand, includes the actual message as it should be. Messenger may well be the only app that doesn't do this.
On my Samsung Gear S Android, FB messenger worked like whatsapp, but I sold it before I could apply the Wear update to see if the issue is related to Android Wear.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks.
I believe you have to turn on notification preview in the Facebook messenger app itself to get message to show up on the watch.

you sir are a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much!
I currently have a Samsung Gear S, and it works with Samsung's Tizen OS. (Tizen is a bit lacking in the applications department.)
Nevertheless, I am thinking of getting the LG Watch Urbane, and I wanted to know if I will be able to have regular SMS functionality if I use the Verizon Messages+ application on my phone as my default SMS client.
Thank you.
It's required that you use the Verizon messenger+ to make calls on the watch.
Really? So, I have to use Verizon Messages+ to make calls? So, you have to use that SMS client if you want to make calls from the watch?
Is that what it uses for the SMS messages to be sent on the watch?
(On a side note - what if I got my watch at Best Buy - which I did...?)

Which version of the watch did you purchase? W200A or W200V? I have the AT&T version and I do not use the SMS client to make calls. I don't use Verizon so I use Google messenger as my SMS client. There is a separate phone app for calls.
I was wondering if the watch was supposed to notify via vibration or sound. I get neither. Of course, if it did, I might find I want to turn it off.
I'm assuming not, but thought I'd check.
Yes it should notify you of notifications.
I regularly get buzzed from hangouts and inbox by gmail notifications. Perhaps you you didn't give all the permissions to android wear and asus zenwatch manager?
Try "Feel the wear" to personalize sound and vibe
Make sure you don't have any setup notifications left by swiping up on the watchface. Mine didn't provide notifications until all the setup notifications were done.
I have a oneplus 8 pro, and I am disappointed that I can't receive messages nativley on my watch. I was wondering if there was a port of Samsung Messages, that I could install on my Oneplus 8 pro, so I could get the full compatibility? I am fine with switching my default messaging app, I just want my watch to work.
(And yes, I have tried pulse)
Another alternitave is porting android messages over to tizen, but I have absolutely no idea how to get an android app working on the galaxy watch 3 :/
The way you should think about it is not how to get an Android app on the Galaxy Watch, but how to make an app for the Galaxy Watch which will take data from Android Messages (or whatever app you prefer).
The term I've seen on Samsung Developer guides is "Tizen OS app on the watch with Android app companion on the phone".
Another approach would be to reverse-engineer how their Galaxy Wearable app works (and possibly Samsung Messages) and code some sort of app which will take your data from whatever messaging app you prefer and send that as a "fake" Samsung Messaging app to your watch.
