I am receiving notifications via sms know phone but not to the gear. Anyone else experiencing this?
Do you have sms notifications enabled in gear manager?
I'm getting some - but maybe 25% of them only. Very odd that something so simple could have so many problems.
I am not getting any texts or emails. Quite frustrating.
Only the default messenger app seems to work, no 3rd party one. Also if the phone is unlocked at the time the notification comes in, it will not be sent to the gear.
Notifications need a serious overhaul to enable system wide notification support like the pull down menu in android....
Remember, it's pretty new territory for android so patience is a virtue. Early adopters will feel most of the pain ^^

If it's still the default settings you wont get email notifications. The Gmail app isn't selected by default and it can only tell you you have an email with the gmail app anyway. It won't show who it's from etc, only the stock Samsung email app can give you info on emails when they come in. If you aren't getting texts, you should open the gear manager app on the Note 3, select "Settings", then select "Notification" and make sure "Messages" is checked.

Mine are all checked in setting. Still no notifications beinf pushed. Spoke with 2 representatives of Samsung both had no resolution. Anyone else?
Are tou usi g any other bluetooth devices while the gear is connected?
Try removing those.
Also worthwhile removing the gear using the gear manager > paired gear > remove before last resorting to factory reset?
Maybe something buggered up during the initial setup.

I didn't mean that it's all default settings. I meant I am using built in apps including Gmail. I don't even get notification that there is a text or an email. It is also set to receive messages in Gear Manager.

Are you using a Note 3? Your sig says Note 2. If you aren't using a Note 3 that is probably the problem, If you are you might want to try resetting the Gear in settings and then re-pair it and see if notifications start after that.
For what it's worth I've had zero problems getting any notifications I've selected on the Gear.

Remember, if your phone is on, the notification will not be sent to the Gear.

Restarting or turning notifications in gear manager off then on temporarily makes them notifications work again
Also make sure Blocking Mode isn't currently active.
I'm now getting the notification issue above, but with a variance...
My Samsung Note 3 was sending all kinds of notifications to my Gear (Mk.1) with no problem at all.
However I was having other problems and decided to do a Factory Reset.
After the Factory Reset it no longer sends any notifications at all to the Gear.
I have other apps that communicate successfully two-way with the Gear but not a single notification from any app makes it through.
I have done all of the things suggested above to no avail.
The notifications are turned on, additional notifications for other apps are turned on, but still no notifications whatsoever arrive on the Gear. The Gear Manager app has permissions for Notifications
The Note 3 is rooted and running Android 4.3.
The Gear Mk.1 says: s/w V700XXUBNC1 Model SM-V700.
Any ideas?

I had a replacement phone and decided not to turn S Voice in the gear manager and had no SMS notifications. It took a few days to work it out.
I was getting other notifications but it was the SMS that wasn't coming through. I turned is Voice on in the phone but it still didn't work and realised it not turned it on when setting up the Gear Manager... I'd not checked the S Voice box on its first start up!
To go back I uninstalled the Gear Manager then reinstalled it and when the setup screen came back and I got my SMS notifications back by running S Voice on the Gear as well as the phone. It may not be the issue in this thread but just wanted to save anyone the hassle that gets this.
Has anyone been able to figure out how to read the GOSms text on their gear? I get the notification from GOSms on my gear, I select the GOSms notification on the gear, but it only shows "New Message" instead of the actual message itself.
I've had to re-enable the stock app, so now I get two notifications on my watch, but end up having to select the stock texting app to be able to actually read the text on my watch.
I have GOSms selected in Gear Manager to send GOSms notifcations to my gear. Is there anything else within the GOSms settings I'm missing?

Check your settings in GO SMS, specifically the notification settings. Look for "Notification Bar Privacy Mode" and make sure it's "not" selected.

I don't know why you are having issues....
I have been using Gosms since day one and works fine in my gear.
Only downside is that you can not fast reply with the pre-configured texts through it.
You have to be using the stock messaging app which I find annoying. I wish there was a way to reply back.
But other than that it works fine. Nothing to do , just select it as an app from gear manager.
Are you running 4.3 on your phone ?
If not then that would be why. Before I upgraded to 4.3, it was not working either. Just what you described.
Anyone know if I root can I reply using Gosms? I asked in the Null rom thread and a Mod deleted my question and said to stay on topic...

No dice... It still only says "New Message".
Since I can't use the "canned message responses" from the Gear with GOSms anyways, I've just disabled sending GOSms alerts to my gear. I like being able to respond to the text message from my gear, and don't want to lose that functionality.
Now I have my phone send just regular text messages to the gear, and use GOSms on the phone as the default text messaging client.
What phone are you using? What version of Gear Manager?

Note 3, Gear Manager says version 1.6.111801
I was having hit & miss on the default sms app, so tried Go Sms - but I'm not getting anything on my watch from it. I'm on latest watch firmware & latest manager. Go Sms is selected manually in 'more notifications'.
I don't use a lock screen, but I tried turning it on to no avail. I also thought the Go Sms popup might cause the problem, but I turned it off - no help either.
Anyone know a SMS app that will get the pages to the watch 100% of the time with no delay ?

weird - i am getting the notification and i can read the message. i am using the stock UK ROM. only issue is when you receive a 2nd text from the same person. if you haven't opened it on the phone, the 2nd message will say "2 unread messages". the watch doesn't talk to the app to show that you read the message.
hopefully they make an app for the gear...

Very odd. I'm on a stock rom (rooted). Do you use a lock screen, and do you use the GO Sms popups ?

I have a lock screen but don't use the pop up. It all isn't great because in order to keep it working, I have to go into the app and open the text. If not, it doesn't work for the next text.

New gear manager, still no luck. Tried all the settings again (lockscreen on/off, popup on/off). I have to be missing something somewhere.
You would need the MK7 firmware that allows full notifications from all providers.

I have that. The odd part is that I have gotten 2 notifications out of dozens from Go Sms in the last week or so.
Disa and the Galaxy Gear
So I have a Galaxy Gear and Note 3. If any of you out there own a Galaxy Gear you will know that you can only use the stock messaging app if you want the ability to reply to text messages directly from the watch, without rooting and using a custom rom. But now there is a new alternative to the hideous stock messaging app and that is Disa.im. Disa.im is a new messaging app that is currently in open beta phase.
Disa is based off the Hangouts design principles and is a very good looking messaging app. Disa is also absolutely unique in the fact that it allows for integration of messaging and WhatsApp messages within the one app. They are currently working on including other messengers as well including but potentially not limited to Facebook Messenger and Hangouts.
How does it work?
1. What gives Disa.im the ability to allow for stock messaging notifications to be sent to the Gear is the option within the app to allow for SMS Fall Through. What this means is that all new received SMS will fall through to the stock app, triggering the stock notification hence sending that notification to the Gear. You can then reply to the messages from the Gear and the new message will be created and sent through the stock messaging app.
2. Normally this would create an issue in the fact that the new SMS sent from the Gear through through the stock messaging app would not show within the new messaging app, Disa, which is the case with a number of other after market messaging apps. But the good news is, Disa has another option which allows for Syncing of SMS/MMS with the Android message database. This allows for the apps to work in ‘Hybrid Mode’, so any messages sent from stock app will be in Disa and vice versa.
3. Having messages received by Disa, and falling through to the stock app, this would generate 2 notifications on the actual handset. If you turn off notifications within the stock messaging app, they won’t get generated and sent to the Gear, making this solution not really a solution at all. But… within Settings>General>Application Manager there is the option to turn off notifications for individual application. This seems to actually only turn off the visibility of the notification not the generation of the notification itself. So if we deactivate that for the stock messaging app, it still gets generated by the system and sent to the Gear, so when you get a text message, you only see the Disa notification on the phone and the stock messaging notification on the Gear.
4. Within Gear Manager you will only have to have notifications for stock Messaging app turned on. If you have Disa notifications turned on also you will get 2 notifications of a message on the Gear
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that Disa was not designed this way specifically for the Galaxy Gear, this is just something I noticed and worked through to come up with this particular solution. Please do not ask the Disa developers for support with issues with notifications on your Galaxy Gear.
Limitations:
The above will work perfectly if you choose to just use Disa.im as a SMS replacement app. If you choose to use Disa.im to have What’sapp messages as well then a choice needs to be made. The options are as follows:
1. Don’t turn on Disa.im notifications within Gear Manager. This will continue to work as mentioned above, but you wont get any notifications for What’sapp messages received through Disa.im
2. Turn on Disa.im notifications within Gear Manager. This will allow you to get Disa.im What’sapp notifications on the Gear but will cause you to also get Disa.im SMS notifications as well as stock messaging notifications. So every SMS you receive will have 2 notifications on the Gear. A good thing is though, the stock messaging notification will show on the Gear before the Disa.im one, so the only time you know that Disa.im one is there is when you go to Notifications area. So in practice, its not too bad.
To get it working you need the following:
Samsung Device running 4.3 Touchwiz
Galaxy Gear
Galaxy Gear Manager 1.6
Disa.im - Disa is currently in Beta and can be downloaded through their Google+ Community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/114009566886187417546
Google+ App
Steps to installation and Setup
When choosing which number to go down to, please see limitations above
Disa.im with text messages
1. Ensure device meets the above requirements
2. Go to Disa group above and apply for Beta Tester status and download the Disa app to your mobile device
3. Once Disa.im is downloaded, open the app and go to Settings, and click on ‘Add Service’.
4. Let the app find the relevant APN and then select ‘Sync SMS/MMS’ and ‘Fall Through’
5. Close the app
6. Open Android Settings, click General, Click Application Manager, swipe until you get to ‘All’ and find the Messages app in the list
7. Click it, and then uncheck the ‘Show Notifications’ check box
8. Open Gear Manager, select Notifications, ensure that Messages is ticked
9. Send yourself a test text message. Remember that the Gear only receives notifications when the phones screen is off.
Disa.im with text and WhatsApp but no WhatsApp notification on Gear
10. Do all of the steps above
11. If you have WhatsApp currently installed, uninstall it
12. Within the Google+ app, go to the Disa.im Community Group, click on Plugin Release (DO NOT POST) subsection
13. Find the latest WhatsApp plugin release post, click on the link and download the plugin
14. Once downloaded, Open Disa.im, go to Settings, and click on ‘Add Service’ and select WhatsApp
15. Set up the service the same way you do in the standard WhatsApp
16. Get a friend to send you a test WhatsApp
Disa.im with Text and WhatsApp and Notifications for both on Gear (double text message notif)
17. Do all of the steps above
18. Open Gear Manager, select Notifications, select More Notifications, ensure that Disa is ticked
19. Get a friend to send you a test WhatsApp. Remember that the Gear only receives notifications when the phones screen is off
I hope the above helps anyone that is over the stock messaging apps but wants the extra functions on the Galaxy Gear.
Hit thanks if this helped
Regards,
Dylan
Nice, will have to check it out
post screenshots please.
I followed your instructions and I get the notification sent to my gear. But how do I reply. I don't see anywhere to type a reply. Thought that was the whole idea of installing this.
Hi,
What do you need screen shots of? Disa? Or the whole process.
In relation to the notification on the gear, is it a notification from Disa or from the messaging app, you should be able to tell from the icon. Also, are you talking about reply to a normal text message? If your talking about a whatsapp notification then you still won't be able to reply. The solution is only for replying to text messages.
If the notification if for text messages and is a normal message notification on the gear, there is a button in the top right inside the notification, click that and you will get the option to reply.

Replying on the galaxy gear is never typed unless you are rooted and have a keyboard installed. The reply can be done through s voice or through the preset replies.

What he is saying is that on the gear you will still be using stock app, but on the phone you will be using disa, since the stock messenger is crap but needed to send texts to the gear(stock)

Why is the stock messaging app "crap"??
I have used all the alternatives (Handcent, GoSMS etc.) & if you have the stock app themed etc. why isn't it just as good as anything else??
I actually use the stock app. Lmao but the OP doesn't. Crap is the first word I thought if lmao

Personally I have been using Verizon Messages. Can't reply on Gear but get the notifications and able to read as normal. Plus syncs between stock app as well as cross platform. It also syncs all messages between my iPad and phone seamlessly. Its VZW's version of iMessage I suppose.

Hi all, i want to try disa on my galaxy note 3 but when i install GM 1.6 (the manual say that i need install the latest version) i don`t know why i can`t enter in notification menu. When i press the button my GM freezes so i can´t select any app to send or not notification to my gear, i only can check or uncheck the button to enable o disable all notifications. Also i tried to reinstall GM 1.6, do a hard reset on my gear (i have null19 installed) nd nothing :S
Any ideas? Thanks
EDIT: the problem was the null addon hehehe
So, how do I reply to whatsapps and text messages trough the Gear? I have to install Disa.im on the Gear?

It's the first time that I try the Samsung mail application.
All the other notifications come flawlessly to the watch. Even with the Gmail enabled (and with both options enabled to receive or not the notifications) the Samsung Mail don't send the notifications to the watch.
No problem between Note's 9 and watch's communication, all the notifications arrive to the watch fine.

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?
