I prefer to use Google Messenger for texting, as opposed to the stock Samsung Messages app.
Anyways, only one issue that bugs me with Google Messenger, when I get a new text, it does not turn the screen on. I hear the notification sound just fine, but I have to turn the phone, to see the message on the lock screen.
Is there an option to have Google Messenger activate the screen on with an incoming text ?

works just fine with the Butterfly S
there arent a lot of apps yet and there are quite a few that are paid (which i'm fine with, as long as the price is right)
i get all the notifications i want on my watch, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, calls, sms, i can even set who i want to get notifications from, so the watch doesnt get flooded
there also is a call handling app that can replace the stock one, adds functionality like reject call and send an sms. i've mailed the developer and asked if he can add reject call with whatsapp message, he's going to look into it
feel free to ask questions, will answer as quick and thorough as i can

can it tell the time?
Hi I have a couple of questions.
1. whats it like in direct sunlight, I remember the first one being horrible ....
2. When you get a notification does it pop up on the screen or do you just get like a badge notification. What I mean is say, for example, you got an sms, does the sms message pop up straight away so you can read it there and then, or do you just get a badge on the sms icon with a (1) notifying you that you have a new sms.
If you could let me know that'd be great
Cheers
1 - the screen has 3 states:
- standby, shows the time, without using backlight, readable inside, in direct sunlight it gets even more readable. unreadable in the dark.
- backlight on, shows the time with backlight, good for low light conditions or when its fully dark, easy to read in sunlight as well
- menu/apps/messages with backlight, same as the second one
so yes, its no problem using it in direct sunlight, both with or without backlight
2 - messages are displayed as text, with a little icon so you know if its a sms, mail, twitter, facebook, etc
ofcourse for longer messages, it wont show all the text, but it will show a text or twitter message in full (so 144 characters is the max)
there are some things that could be improved ofcourse
-i would like to be able to set the timeout for the backlight
-same thing for how long messages are displayed
-the remote camera app doesnt work, or doesnt work with the Butterfly S
-more watch faces
i will contact Sony Support to ask them about those issues
I started using Google Messenger recently, and one thing I noticed, is that when the phone is off to the side, and I get a new text message, the screen doesn't pop on, like it did with stock Messages and Textra.
Is there some Settings somewhere I need to enable that ?

From my experience, you need the Tasker app and set up a profile to turn the screen on. That is the only way I have found that works consistently. You will also need the Secure Settings app.
The Tasker app can seem overwhelming, but if you take your time and read some of the help files, it is actually pretty easy. I use the same app to turn my phone to vibrate when the phone links to my work wifi.

screen notifications or glimpse notification from the play store
I am having problems on my GMC to get SMS messages on my AA. When I set it up I chose to include everything except the Phone permission. I chose to use contacts, sms, maps, mic. I have no problem receiving the notification card and listening to the playback on a Hangouts message. But when I receive a text it only shows up on my phone and I get nothing on the Android Auto screen in the truck. Its like I never received a message, so then I have to read it on my phone. I have no problem with using voice commands to send Hangouts and SMS messages, just no notification on the SMS.
The reason I didn't include my phone permission was because I like the way the Intellink works on the truck and so when an incoming call would come in and Android Auto had access I would have to go through it to answer making my steering wheel control useless. So I changed the settings but only removed the phone and now I can use the phone through the truck Intellink but am not getting the SMS notifications through Android Auto.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi there, I cannot find simmilar thread so I need to post it.
Do you also have problems with notifications?
Like when I use whatsapp and switch to Youtube, sometimes if I dont open whats manualky, I will not receive notification even if i received msg 5 seconds after swithing to yt.
Same goes for Viber, fb messenger, gmail and so on.
Also when I lock the phone, same thing is happening.
Data saver is off, those apps are in unmonitored mode in battery settings. Deleting data, cash, also done.
i'm ok with being an idiot, but i can't seem to figure out how to get my incoming texts to give me a buzz on either the phone or samsung watch.
allow all notifications
they're all allowed, google messages thing. i might have to reinstall i guess. i see the notification on my screen and watch, but definitely don't get a buzz or a blip sound
oh, maybe because i have messages for web syncd and open
nope
Do you get other notification sounds?
yes, i'd hate reinstall it....but it might be about that time
Do you use the default Google message app?
Did you set a custom notification sound for text messages?
solved
