[Q] SMS notification reminder

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Captive to do a reminder that an unanswered SMS message has come in? My old phone would chime every 5 minutes until I read the message and this was kind of nice.
Thanks

check out an awesome app named handcent.

I should install that on my husband's Captivate. He NEVER checks his notifications and sometimes it goes days before he gets my texts.

Stock SMS app does not support this. Most have gone to 3rd party apps, most popular being Handcent.

Missed Reminder is a good app if you still want to use the stock SMS app.

Thank you, I'll give that a try.

handcent SMS has a option where if u didnt check the message u can set a reminder...i set mine to every 5 minutes

I use tasker and it works awesome!

That's what I use and it works great for SMS, MMS and Gmail. Only gripe is that it doesn't support regular e-mail.

New hangouts with sms integration

Hey guys, has anyone tried it yet with the gear? Was wondering if text messages show up or if it's the old hangouts alert that makes you look at the phone

samsung do not cooperate with google with software. hangout is a pretty new communicator, although i haven't tried on gear, i can bet it will not work. at least not out of the box, this is something that has to come with new firmware for our gears..

[Q] Can the Gear get notifications from 3rd party SMS apps?

Or do I NEED to use the TouchWiz messaging app? Because I use EvolveSMS, so i was wondering if I'd still receive text message notifications on the Gear? Thanks.
Was gonna buy one today, but I saw online that the Galaxy Gear 2 is dropping in a couple of weeks with the S5! So I'll probably just wait for the Gear 2. But still wondering this question... thanks to anyone that ca help!

I use EvolveSMS and the notifactions work I can even read them just can't respond with the gear or S Voice just open on phone to respond

That kinda really sucks lol. That's the whole point to be able to respond too!

You could always send through the stock messaging app but personally i don't like S Voice kind of slow and the sound is always broke up compared to Google voice

What else can you do thru the Gear, rather than using your phone? I know you can make/accept/deny calls... but what else?! Can I, let's say, send a tweet?

I can send a tweet from mine. Although a bit of a different topic...I can also start my car from mine (directed smart start), control my thermostat at home (Nest), watch live TV (Slingplayer), get emails, check sportscenter app, sign into bank app, check fandango etc. You can do just about anything with it. Granted some things might not be as practical as when done on your phone but can be convenient on the gear in certain situations.
Oh... And I get my text notification via Handcent sent to my gear but as mentioned before I can't reply directly from that notification. I usually just send a text command through s voice to respond.

That's F'ING SICK!!! Can't wait, I'm 100% getting the Gear 2 when it comes out, I'm so excited. But what do you mean by your last statement "I usually just send a text command through s voice to respond."??

I get my text notifications through Handcent but you can't type a response or a pre typed response from that message view. I just activate s voice on the gear and say "text whomever". The gear will process that and respond with "whats your message?" I speak my message, it responds by showing a printed version of what I said and asks to confirm if I want to send it. I say yes and it sends the text.
Oh and for most of the other things I mentioned above, the gear of course requires Internet access via blue tooth tethering. Easily doable though.

Yeah I figured that. Can't wait for the Gear 2! Thanks for the info!

How is it that you can respond to texts through S Voice i deleted the stock messaging app and use EvolveSMS but can't respond with it
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

It isn't a "direct" response per se but when I use s voice to send a text back to the person that texted me it sends it and it falls in line with the rest of the conversation in Handcent. If that makes sense.

To me it sound like you are sending through the stock app but prefer to use handcent do you still have the stock app on your phone..

Yeah, I still have the stock messaging app.

I use GoSMS, but whenever I get MMS I open up the stock messaging app (so I can respond while watching the video). Any messages sent/received go to both Messaging and GoSMS, so if I were to use a gear, I imagine I would get notifications on the gear through GoSMS and then just use S Voice to respond (through Messaging). When I go on my phone later, both SMS apps would still have the entire conversation.

Problem is what about when/if your phone is running KitKat and you can only run 1 messaging app....?!

[Q] Notification Tone Per Contact

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?

The ringtone is there, but not for notifications (SMS)

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

Question No sound when sending text messages?

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.

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...
