Message notifications on PC? - General Topics

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if there is a PC app that alerts the user to any messages (particularly text messages) arriving on their phone when plugged into their PC. Does anyone know if anything like this exists?
The reason for this is that I'd rather have it in silent mode at work. I'm using MyMobiler to access the phone through Windows, but don't want it showing up all the time.
Thanks

I was given this link by a friend. Haven't tried it myself yet.

Thanks, looks like there are a few useful things here, and the prices are nice and low

I dont know if this is any use to you but you can try
http://www.mymobiler.com/
It is remote desktop connection thing for your mobile (while plugged in over usb) and you can use your keyboard/mouse to control ur phone from ur pc, so you can send texts that way.
Thanks for your post. I was thinking more in therms of maybe a outlook plug-in or something like that?

[Q] monitoring app for rooted phone

I rooted my phone and my wife's. She's been hiding things and deleting messages and sending off pics of herflself and deleting them. I tried using a recovery app. But is there something that I can install on her phone that's will stay hidden so I can monitor what it is she is up to? Something that will save the text logs and pictures. Or activate her front facing camera. GPS... I want to make sure I have all the evidence I would need to confront her. This happened in the past as well and I didn't have enough proof. She played it off like I was the crazy one.
I've searched but figured some experts would point me in the right direction. Hoping to save my marrage before its too late.
Thanks.
Well for finding old picrures, theres diskdigger app. Uhm... Besides that, idk

I used dr phone and it took so long and it kept showing all the current pics and not just the deleted ones . wasn't until I used discdigger that I found what I was looking for. but being the free version it didn't search for much. and hard to view everything ion the little screen, and it requires me to have her phone for long periods of time.
I know there has to be something out there I can install once and get the info sent to my phone or pc.
since I only have small windows of time to have her phone(when shes sleeping) I practice on my phone. install what apps I wanty to use and try them so I know what it is im doing when I get the chance.
a keylogger would be a start but I want to know what texts are coming in as well.
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but recently when my phone broke and I still had to text people; I went to the Verizon wireless website, under 'My Verizon' is a tab called 'Send a message', enter your wife's phone number followed by her account password, and then it should be empty if this is the first time opening this. From here you can send and receive messages. After your initial login, all messages will be stored. It shows deleted as well. Finally, if you do happen to send a text from this online, sent messages will not show on her phone. Beware as she will still receive the incoming texts.
-Hope this helped! Good luck with your searching

Mail count incorrect

Title pretty much says it all!
On my phone (Note 4) the unread mail count is currently one. On the S2, it is twenty-eight. Scrolling through the mail on the S2, I can see emails that I deleted days ago. Am I perhaps missing something from the settings?
(The emails relate to gmail and Google Apps mail)
Many thanks

I have the same exact issue. I emailed Samsung and they told me to do a factory reset to correct the issue as they have not heard of this bug from the latest update. A factory reset did NOT correct the issue. I believe the latest update caused the issue but convincing Samsung is another story. I was going to call them on Friday to see what the story is but does anyone else know what is going on here?
So I contacted Samsung technical support and they asked me to resync my bluetooth connection with my phone. Basically you just disconnect the gear s2 from the phone and hit connect again in the gear manager. It seemed to have worked for the first email deleted but not for any subsequent emails. I just tried it again and it is actually not working at all.
Because this is not a "software issue" they claim, the watch would need to be sent for repairs. I don't know what else to do but I'm not sending off the watch for repairs. If you are experiencing this issue, please call Samsung because they do not believe this is an issue and let us know here. If you AREN'T experiencing this please let us know as well...
The issue is that when you delete an email from your watch, it will delete from the phone CORRECTLY. However, if you delete an email from your PHONE it will not automatically delete it from the watch... causing you to have to manage the deletions on your watch manually. This was working prior to a software update recently.

I am not having the same issue, if I delete my email from the phone it does delete it on the watch. It will not delete it from the watch when I am connected remotely though, but it does remove it once I get back on bluetooth. This is exchange email through the normal android email system. Have you also tried deleting the email on either outlook or the web client and see if it updates the phone and watch that way?
One thing I do notice though that does throw my mail number off at times. If I do not receive the notification on my phone then I do not get that email on my watch. So far no matter what it doesn't seem to sync back to it. The only instance I have ran into with this is if I have my email application open and a new email comes in. Because the email app is open it never does a notification to my phone so the watch never gets it.

Thanks for the post. I reinstalled Gear Manager and it MAY have fixed the issue. I'm still going through some tests. The only way to get the emails to your watch all the time is to turn off the Limit notifications in Gear Manager > Notifications on your phone. I turned it off for the very reason of getting all the future email to go to the watch.

That's good that you may have got it resolved.
So for mine, I have already turned off the limit notifications option a few days ago. That works good so if I am using my phone the notification will still come to the watch, before I had turned it off if I was using my phone the notification would not come to the watch until my screen on the phone went black.
The problem is that if I actually have my email app opened up on the phone, and an email comes in. The phone doesn't give a notification because I had the app open already and see the email. At this point the watch never gets a notification for that email because the phone never did. So that email never makes it to the email app on the watch. Its almost like the watch didn't see a notification so the email doesn't exist for it.
This is not the same result for text messages, text messages still seem to sync correctly even if I did not actually get that notification on the phone.

Ahhh ok I got ya. If the app is open, no notification, therefore no email on watch. Nice. I wondered why Samsung decided to handle emails like this to begin with. It would have been easier to just read from the phone or something instead of this convoluted sending notifications of future emails. That way I could access all the emails at once as well.
Yeah I agree, not sure what the thoughts were with it either. Owell, hopefully they will have some tweaks to it. The good thing is that it really isn't a big concern. If I already saw the email on my phone before the notification came in then I'm not that concerned about seeing it on my watch. The situation just won't come up very often as I don't just stare at my email app waiting for emails to come in haha. Just more of thought it was an interesting way they did things. Would be nice to know how that back end for that is working.
Either way, maybe it is because it is my first smart watch, but so far I'm still loving it even with some bugs and a lack of apps.
I just got a s2 classic, I am experiencing the same issue, I delete the messages from my phone, and they still show on the watch, I have tried removing gear from my phone and reinstalling, but it did not work, I still have the same issue.
any other people have this issue and have any other advice on fixing it.
thanks

Whatsapp Web and phone notification

Heya,
So I'm using Whatsapp Web and every time I get a message, it instantly lights up my phone screen. This happens also if the chat is active, meaning I don't get a notification (of course not) but the screen lights up anyway. The phone is too fast to notice the notification, while my old S8 used to ignore notifications if I was on Whatsapp Web.
Any tricks to this? It uses a lot of battery for the screen to keep blinking on
It doesn't seem to happen to me. I'm using the same wifi for my phone and my laptop. My phone only beeps if I don't check the message on my web whatsapp on the laptop. Note that I only use the browser version not the macos whatsapp app.

I would have to agree with the previous comment, Im not finding an issue with the app giving me notification have you tried to uninstall it, or just reset the cache/data on the device. The only thing i know that can make it play up in the way you're talking about is if you have sideloaded GMS?
my issue is very different, while I'm connected to whatsapp web (phone and pc on the same network), after a while whastsapp web shows "phone not connected to the internet" and notifications doesn't show on the phone. After I open whatsapp on the phone, I recieve all the messages that weren't arriving.
When I connect to my cellular data on the phone and over wifi on the pc, there's no issues.
It seems that reinstall plus disabling "wake" helped. Now if I'm active on a chat, phone doesn't react, if I'm not, phone vibrates. Just as it's meant to be.
I have the "no connection" problem too. If you find a solution, please do tell
