Looking at a galaxy gear watch and I know I have to tinker to get it to work but I was wondering which features will work and which won't ? I know weather and s voice doesn't work obviously but would I still be able to change songs and receive regular notifications for texts and emails and Facebook ?

Hi,
Maybe take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596455.
And about notifications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649884 (last post).
I actually quite like the app (except for the fact that it sends a long text into separate messages, unlike textra that kept it all together. ) It's fast and I like how they implemented quick reply. This may be the first time that I've wanted to keep the stock messenger app rather than trash it. So how many of you guys kept the stock app or did you end up replacing it with your favorite?
I'm using mysms, it allows me to send messenges from my tablet and my PC as well
In using Google messenger. Very similar to the Samsung one but just has the edge

just installed textra and liking it , is there a way to display the small contact photo beside each message you send and receive like in stock messenger ?
I love stock, but I'm using Disa cause I uninstalled Facebook and the Messenger. The integration in Disa is great. No quick reply though which sucks.
I kinda miss textra, but I might suggest they borrow samsungs quick reply. Its less intrusive while playing games and it also doesn't force auto rotate.
After years of hearing about it, I'm using chompSMS, because combined with my Pebble and Pushbullet, I have a unified, synchronized notification system across all three platforms.
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.
I currently use Sony Smartwatch 3 and Im planning to buy the Gear S2 and Im using moto x pure edition. Anyone got the same device with S2 paired on it? Hows your overall experience so far?
Im a bit concerned about the apps and notifications. Does it really show the notifications whenever it arrives on the phone? Im interested about the following app:
Whatsapp, Viber, Fb Messenger
I mainly use these app will it show notifications on the watch? Can I reply to these apps via watch?
Spotify
Can I press back or next & volume up and down just like I can with the Android Wear? Does it show the title of the song and the album art?
Phone Dialer
As we know Samsung is using their own dialer but in my case I have the AOSP dialer came default, if ever someone will call will I be able to swipe answer or reject from watch?
Calendar
As we know samsung has its own Calendar app, will I be notified with the Google Calendar showing the details and etc or the calendar reminder?
Textra
As we know samsung is using their own SMS app, but Im using Textra will or will the watch be able to detect that I got a message and I can read and reply via watch?
Gmail
As we know samsung is using their email app, will gmail be notified and the watch can detect that ita an email and Icam reply via watch?
I know there are other things that are not included here and if anyone can mention it please do.
Thanks!

I have a moto x pure edition as well, and haven't had any issues with notifications at all yet. Even in remote connection mode.
One thing to keep in mind, you can't put milk music on the watch since you don't have a Samsung phone.
I have the new Huawei smartwatch w2 (coming together with P10) and when I say the command "send a whatsapp message to xxxxx" it never recognizes the contact who I want to send the message. The system always is asking "who" again and again. It seems to not recognize the contact.If I say "send an email to xxxx" (same person) or a simple sms or call it works fine.
Also if I reply whatsapp notification, there is not an error, it seems fine , but the answer never is sent through whatsapp
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
whatsapp
Hi.
I got same offer.
You can recive whatsapp in the watch but no send any.
I use Skype or Hangouts to have conversations with my people.
I will come back always here to change information about my use daily with the watch.
Bye

"We provide notifications for Android Wear. We do not, however, have a dedicated Android Wear app. If you are unable to receive notifications on your watch, please try all troubleshooting steps on our FAQ."
Thats the answer from Whatsapp. Really not what i wanted to hear.

Today i tried saying "send whatsapp message to XXX" and it asked me for the message and it went thru successfully.
I'm using the HW2 BT version
I'm having the same problem, my hw2 get stuck asking for the contact.
How did you solve it?
Use wear messages for WhatsApp and Facebook messenger. You will be able to respond that way.
So the trending theme here seems to be pronunciation of contact names. I noticed that most people posting to this thread seem to have english as a second language and from what I can tell, you are attempting to send the message in english. Try and speak the contact name slower, this will allow Android Assistant to learn the contact name easier over time since the name possibly sounds different when pronounced with an accent.
Watch faces
The problem, at list in my case resolve just changing the watch face that supports it. The once that I tried are the once with the "setting" icon. I'm using the Huawei watch 2 sport with the official watch face, the one on the demo.

I'm having the same problem.
I have tried the different solutions proposed in the thread, but the problem continues.
Have you found the solution?
Thanks
Hey there,
as a user of both Gear S3 and LG Watch Urbane I've made a surprising discovery.
Namely, when you have Android Wear installed on your phone, some apps gets a functionality boost on your Gear S3
You can e.g. reply to Hangouts messages (via the notification) on the GearS3 directly from the smartwatch, using keyboard, smileys or voice input!!!
Without the AW app on your phone you could only click reply/show message in the GearS3 notification which caused a trigger action on your phone -- you could not reply directly from your smartwatch
Note:
Do not try to configure your GearS3 with the AW app, it won't work. Just install the app, run it and when it asks to configure your smartwatch just exit it.
This has been discussed in the past (some thread somewhere here) but nice to have a reminder.
well I couldn't find it and therefore added it here
I'm new to the Gear series so really appreciate this tip OP! Cheers! ?

Thanks for this will try.
Interestingly i use Android Auto and could not reply to WhatsApp, someone mentioned installing Hangouts, e voila works near perfect now.
Does this allow Google maps notifcations from the phone to gear S3?

I can reply to Hangouts messages on the Gear S3 withOUT having Android Wear installed, but will double check.
With yes, without no

Sorry I typoed, I can reply to Google Hangouts messages withOUT Android Wear installed...just did it.
Wouldn't work with S-Voice but canned replies and drawing letters worked.
I am on a Oneplus 3T
Maybe they changed something... It didn't work a month ago on my s7
I've only had my Gear S3 a few days, but it is working. Pretty sure I did a reply in Allo too yesterday.
Do you know what are the Android wear apps compatible with the Samsung Gear ?
On my side, I have discovered the very good "WearMail for Android Wear" app which works perfectly with the Samsung Gear watches.
This Wearmail app is very interesting as you can configure all type of email accounts including Office 365 accounts and it sends the content of the received mails to your watch via notifications. Very good.
