Hello,
I have had a first gen samsung gear since it came out. Just got my G watch R and loved it. I have a galaxy note 4 edge phone, and noticed right away that when i get a text message I cannot open it on the gwatch. I am using the samsung stock messaging app... is hangouts really the only way to view a text? what other apps work, or I would prefer if there was a way to read my samsung messages.
WearResponses works with any messaging app. That would be your easiest option. It would allow you to read and reply to messages from your watch.
I have a HTC One M7 GE. The stock Google Messaging app works fine with Wear.

Thanks for the reply. I tried wear responses but that caused some additional issues.
I am now using google messenger, not the google hangouts and it appears to have what i need. I just need to leave the samsung texting environment.
While receiving messages with Google messenger the gear won't get notifications while note 4 does.
Using the stock messages app the gear gets notifications no problem. But it's an ugly app and I don't want to use it.
Messenger used to work fine on the note 3 with the gear getting all notifications while running lollipop. ?
Any input will be appreciated.

Anyone. ?

Hello,
Has anyone swapped to the Google Messages/Android Messages app over the stock Samsung messages app on the S10/S10+ and been able to get RCS working?
I came from a Pixel 3 XL and enjoy the Android Messages app over the Samsung app even with the OneUI overhaul, but I cannot get RCS/Chat working - it is not even visible in advanced settings. If I swap to the Samsung app it sends RCS messages no problem, swap back to Android messages it goes back to SMS/MMS only. I also installed Google Carrier services thinking maybe it needed that to trigger it but nothing, looks like the Carrier services app also does not get triggered to actually provision anything even with it installed.
Would love to hear if anyone has this working
Same issue here. I prefer Android messages since I get a lot of verification codes texted to me and Android messages has a quick copy code option. On TMobile. Rcs works fine on Samsung message app.

I am using T-Mobile and I have not yet had RCS support(waiting for it), but I want to ask, how did you install Google Messages app on your new Samsung phone? Did you transfer your info including apps using Samsung Switch app? If yes, some apps may not have transferred correctly, so I would uninstall them, then reinstall or just try clearing data of that app.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google Messages a few times, still does not resolve, even installed Google Carrier Services to attempt to fix. Really odd if you cant use a different message client with the same tech.
beep boop
Right now its only supported on the stock Samsung messaging app.

"Messages" is a public app that Google has on the Play Store (just search for 'Messages' and make sure you get the one from Google LLC), and anyone with an Android phone can download it. It's a drop-in SMS/MMS replacement for OEM (or carrier) apps for SMS/MMS.... it also supports RCS, but not on every phone.

And it looks like it may stay that way for a while: For RCS to be shared between apps, the way SMS/MMS are, Google needs to build an API so that different apps could access the same data. It LOOKED like htye were going to do that, but then 9to5Google and others reported that the code was hidden and commented out in the Android Q preview, with comments suggesting that it wouldn't be available till Android R. Lord knows why it's taking Google this many hears to get down basic functionality on something as important as messaging... they've been pushing their RCS Universal Profile since 2016, so it seems ridiculous that it'll be 2020 (for Android R) before they release an API baked into Android for it.
Textra is still my favorite SMS app. I wish Messages and Samsung Messages would implement their quick reply features
It works for me sending messages to my parents who are on Sprint with me using the Google Messages app. I'm pretty sure they are using the default Samsung messages app but I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Not exactly the same but worth a mention...Verzion S10- has Real Time Text (RTT) working..you enable this from the stock phone dialer screen, three dots at the top right for Settings > Real Time Text. You can set it to always on and you'll get the additional option to send an RTT type message call whenever you click a contact.
I have a Samsung S2 watch that receives notifications from the Google messaging app but I can't customise quick responses, as this seems to be tied to the Samsung messaging app. So the editing option is missing from the Samsung Gear app. I've tried downloading an apk for the Samsung messaging app which installs but won't run. Any ideas how I might get this to run?
I noticed today that I had a total of 12 messages that were in the Samsung messages app that never arrived to my default app (google messages). Also noticed when I'm doing verification text from PayPal and cash app they arrive in the Samsung messages app instead of my default app. Has anyone else seen this before?
I had a total of 12 messages from customers that never arrived to my default Google messages.
No I haven't. I use Google Messages and get all my texts. SMS permissions are on in Messages's app settings aren't they?
All permissions are turned on, it only happens with certain senders and paypal / cash app. I tested with my wife's s8 on same thing happens with PayPal.
I couldn't use my 3rd party SMS app at all. When I chose it as the new default, I got an OS level warning that it was unsupported and I might not get SMS as a result. Sure enough, it didn't work at all so I had to revert to the (terrible) Samsung app. Pretty crappy lock-in, especially if you have a database of old SMS from a 3rd party app you wanted to restore.
Haven't seen that before. I'm using Google Messages with RCS activated

I wonder what would happen if you used something like CCSWE and disabled Samsung Messaging.
So is this a real thing? I want to pick up an s10 today but don’t want that crap happening
Hundreds or thousands of people have seen this thread, nobody has tossed out a "me too"... I think you're safe.
Having an issue as well with Android Messenger, it refuses to send from Sim 2 but can receive messages. For some reason the Samsung Messenger no matter how much you shut off refuses to release itself. I despise Samsung Messenger , in fact I despise all the Samsung apps.
