How can we see more than the very last message notification from our IM apps? Whatsapp, Skype, Line, Viber and kakaotalk all show the absolute last message only. The previous messages flash by, sometimes too fast to read, and can't find a way to read them without opening the app on the phone.
you cannot read/view the previous messages if they you swiped them away from the phone or the watch. If you have a samsung phone, you can open the Messages app on your watch and look at the messages, but for whatsapp and other apps that are not installed on the watch, you can view the notifications that have not been swiped away yet. Does that make sense?
Not really.... Take any messaging app, imagine 5 messages were suddenly sent rapidly by the same contact, you haven't swiped any away on your watch. You can only see the last one and none of the previous 4. Is there a way you can see the previous 4 that came through on your watch too without opening the app on your phone?

Yes, that works fine. If a contact sends me 3 whatsapp messages, i can see all those (with white background, ofcourse). What i do is, go back to home screen, swipe the screen to the notification, click on it and you should be able to read those.

Hmm it does that with WhatsApp but not some others. On LINE you definitely don't see any previous messages only the last one. Seems like app dependant too.

my email notifications work perfectly, but my text notifications are so erratic that I'm considering returning the thing (& I love it).
Sometimes I get the notification right away, sometimes it comes in 5 minutes after the phone gets it and other times I don't get it at all.
Is there any fix for this??
I got my first text on my watch today since I had the watch last week. I really want to keep it, but I want to see what the possible Google watch will be later. Also for your question try restoring your gear and repairing with phone. I'm sadly sending mine back.

Reminder if you get a text or email while phone on, you will not get notification through the Gear.

I have had zero issues with text notifications. Make sure you uninstall any other txt messaging apps. When I had gosms installed I didn't get any notifications. Once I uninstalled it, I get perfect notifications.
If you download the nodded SMS a pk you can have texts come in without turning your screen on. This makes texts appear on the watch instantly cause the screen is off.

Download what??
Sorry about that. In the themes and apps section of your note 3s XDA you can download a modded MMS apk so your screen does not turn on when you get a text message
Issue probably is related to the screen turning on when a text arrives, which could be happening from another SMS app you have downloaded.

I installed that mod version of MMS and now messaging does not show up under notification selections of gear manager so I don't get any messaging notifications at all??

I'm using the stock messaging.

Can you elaborate.

I find that notifications in generally slow; when they appear (usually within 5mins of appearing on phone). My Pebble is instant

I installed this app and set it to not light the screen on receiving a text, now my text notifications are almost instant.
That is great news. Glad I could help
I just got my g watch r. I really like it but it does not show any texts when I get them, just that I have a message waiting. Emails show up and I can read them, but not texts. Am I doing something wrong or does this watch simply not display texts???
the way text messages are displayed totally depends on the app you are using
I switched to evolvesms when getting my watch as it displays the whole text even for long messages, shows high quality contact pics and lets you define you own canned responses
If using the stock Samsung sms app, you need to make sure the option to display texts on the lockscreen is turned on.

thanks guys, I switched to google hangouts as my default text messaging app and it worked just fine. I was worried there for a moment!
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 have a Note 8 on At&t and Verizon. I have Facebook Messenger on both phones. Most notifications do not come through, i do not see a chat head pop up nor do i see a badge on the app. They only pop up when i open the app. I have reinstalled the app on the Att Note 8, i have tried installing Messenger Lite. All other apps still work fine (WhatsApp, messages, Duo, Etc) This is only a facebook problem. I have made sure the permissions are all set to yes, it is on the internal storage, volume is up, notifications in app and on the phone are set to allow. But it will randomly show notifications but a majority of the time it will not show or make a sound for any facebook messenger notifications. I have tried with wifi connected and not connected. Once i close the app it is like it no longer runs in the background.
Any suggestions?

Just bought my Note 8 N950F/DS for a few days having the same problem .... still finding solution .... no battery optimization for facebook messenger ... tried everything still not work ... factory reset still the same .... really out of option for now.... continue searching ...
edit: Looks like this may help:
Go to Settings - Apps
Click Menu in top right and select - Special Access
Select - Optimize Battery Usage ->
Click the dropdown menu towards the top of the screen that says: "Apps not optimized" - change to - All Apps
Turn off Messenger

Not sure why they're not coming through. I have a T-Mobile variant with no issues of messages and chat heads through messenger. I know you said you have checked your permissions but got to menu>settings>apps>messenger and check them there.
try "metal" from the play store and see if notifications work. it's a lightweight version of facebook app.
I have tried facebook lite and i have even set my facebook messenger in the special access to off but previously i had them all off. But i'll cross my fingers and see.
I am in the same boat. Same issue. All other notifications work except FB messenger. For a while i had messenger lite for a while and then installed the full messenger and that is when things stopped working. I've tried everything except wiping my phone at this point. To me it seems like the system keeps putting the app to sleep although i have as not monitored app.
I tried using Dual Messenger option ... and let it install 2nd app for Facebook and Messenger ... then i use my account on the 2nd app for both ... notification works perfectly. hope will help.

It seems to be working with the 2nd app. But my OCD kicks in and I can't stand that orange icons. :crying: but I will take it. BTW if anyone plans on wiping their phone it won't fix it. I just installed the Oreo beta with a complete wipe and didn't fix it.
Sorry been busy with work. I will try the dual message app and see if that works. I am using Nova Launcher on both my Note 8's weirdly enough it seems i get the messages on my Verizon variant but not my At&t one. Both have battery optimizer turned off. But thank you for all the feed back. I'll try dual messenger now.

I contacted the customer service from France. They have no idea what's the problem. Their only suggestion is to go to a reparation center to explain the issue and try to find a solution...

either on or off ... the 2nd app works fine.
Can anyone tell me where this pop up is coming from? It pops up when new text messages arrive and also an event from facebook arrives. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aedJudl0n9cR8oxyCrSiaeI1sEZsZX_7
I've never seen that, that doesn't look like anything on stock Samsung.

Same here, I have pop up notifications on, but they show the message content at the top of the screen
I've tried to figure out where it is coming from, but have no idea. It has only appeared for text messages and facebook alerts. I've checked setting for both apps and can't find the culprit. If someone can figure it out, it would be much appreciated.
So you must not be using the stock Samsung messages app cause stock doesn't support facebook integration. Looks like you are using Go SMS?

Yes I use GO SMS, I checked the notification settings there as well, even disabled all notifications on GO SMS, and changed the default app to messages and I still get the popup. Hmmmm.....
