Pebble Watch and GS4 - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

So I just bought the pebble watch for my Galaxy S4. I have been hesitant because of the Samsung bug, but so far the only one I noticed was the video player bars staying there. Anyone else can tell me what this watch is capable of? Or if the issues come up on the phone with time?

I've been using one since May. The talkback bug is there on all Samsung devices but otherwise it's cool. The most usable smartwatch on the market.

I like it but I don't know if its worth the $150 iny head (personally) I want it as more of an extension of my phone rather than just read texts.
What talk back bug are you talking about? I have been trying to duplicate it and can't seem to find it

If you turn on accessibility so that you can get whatsapp messages etc on the watch, then it enables talkback

I have the pebble too and i used cm 10.2. It works great no complaints so far, i was hoping for better notification from whatsapp integration but i just receive a notification that i have a message in whatsapp and not the message itself, was a bummer

get pebble notifier and turn on rich notifications, then you get the full message.

Hi!
I've been using my pebble for some time now. I don't use the talk back service, so it doesn't bother me.
I can recommend pebble notifier as well!
I doubt that the bars staying on in video player are because of the pebble, as I remember that I've had that before I even had ordered my pebble.
It has appeared once or twice after that randomly as well and disappeared.

Sure sorry, the notification in the status bar that's displayed in the top left corner. And were it says Sony smart watch connect/disconnected
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
If you are running 4.1 (I think) and up you can just go into the app info for the Sony smart watch app (not smart connect) and uncheck the "show notifications" box. I have been using my watch like this for a couple months and it works fine.
EDIT
Sorry I didn't see you already knew that. My bad. To answer your actual question no I have had no issues using the watch (SW1) with the notification disabled.

Have you noticed when in a group message?

I just noticed when I was in a group message I could see when the others were typing and when they read my message? Does this only work when messaging others who have the note 5? That was the case but I can't find any options for this
I should mention that I did find settings for "chat" that would allow me to see the others typing and when they have read my message...but I had turned those off before noticing the typing message and had confirmed they were off after noticing.

Here
It's a new implementation baked into Android devices on T-Mobile. The Note 5 and Edge Plus are 3rd and 4th ever to get it, I believe.

I haven't noticed it texting anyone else so I couldn't tell you. It's funny though, in the group text I was in...two others were in it....both T-Mobile users and both note 5 users...only one person had the "typing" showing when texting

Basically, it's like iMessage for Android. If both phone users have the Advanced Messaging installed on their phones, they will be able to see when the other has read a text or is typing. It's going to be great to see when it is implemented on more devices.

To see the "is typing" while texting go to messages, more, settings, chat settings, turn on share typing indications also if you turn off read receipts than the other person won't see if you've read his messages or not but you can still see theirs if their settings are switched to on
You don't need to be in group text for this to work it seems to only be working with the newer phones, I just upgraded 3 phones 1 note and 2 edge plus' and we tested it out

Yes you will see when someone has read yours or if it's been delivered because they have their settings on, but they will not be able to see it on their end since your settings are checked to off

I actually switched to Google messenger. I'm assuming it won't work unless you're on the stock message app

Advanced messaging working?

Title says it all. I have tried to use it with my brothers note 5 but it doesn't seem to work. WiFi calling and voLTE enabled on both phones.
Both phones have to have advanced messaging. It works between my and my wife with our note 5's
anyone else been trying to see if this works or not...
Lol still doesn't work between my brother and i. Both with note 5s. May be it's still "rolling" out to places, ie towers not updated yet
You have to go into contacts and open each contact that has the capability and the video calling and advanced messaging will flip to green. At least that has been my experience to get it to work for my contacts that have the option.

I tried that approach with my note 5, my wife has a galaxy s6. Advanced messaging was working for a bit, but then it stopped.

It works fine for me but sometimes like for a few hours a day it stops working and I have to manually toggle the ready report on/off to get it working again.

I thought it was weird that I could see my wife typing a message on my phone and it only worked for her.

No enhanced messaging?

What's bad about it?
I tried it, it seems to be like most other messaging apps.
It has the feature of seeing that the other party is typing as long as they too are using message+.
I didn't like it because it stores all messages including pics in the cloud.

I don't think it sounds dumb. I prefer standard emojis over the Android ones. I've started using handcent again for the background customization, and because it can be set to use standard emojis.

Ah. See she had the iPhone before and this is the only reason she traded for the note 5 because of the enhanced messaging.. But I guess Verizon disabled it and added Verizon messages... IF we had root it wouldn't be hard to get it back probably.

The SwiftKey keyboard has a lot of similar emojis built in but I think as soon as you we it in vz messages it changes. If she didn't have it and you did you emoji in vz messages will come across as the identical one on her app when she gets it. Whether its in stock or hangouts etc.
I use it because if the message sync to my computer and it acts as a backup.
Also the update on the 15th now lets you wifi call on some phones and all the tablets

I tried the VZ Message+ but stopped using it once I realized group texts and some pics to Sprint users weren't showing up. I started using the installed Messages application. I liked the features in VZ Messages+ but until that is fixed I can't use it.

Ji can anyone modify the secmms app so the screen doesn't not light up when getting a text please. I believe it's just a hidden setting

Hate this problem....
Have been grappling with this problem... In the end I gave up and started using Textra - this created 2 new annoyances:
1 - It doesn't appear on the always on display as a little envelope icon/badge notification when you have texts waiting
2 - You can't quickly get to a contact within the App and use the direct dial feature by lifting the phone to your head.
However Textra is amazing and it's other features have kept it as my default choice for now.

Use Renovate rom. @mwilky took the time to figure it out and it works sweet. Only one who has. And it's a great rom

I was hoping not to change ROMS. Is there a way to edit the one I'm already on?

If you use lightflow for LED control, the screen will still come on even with texta. Or any third party sms app for that matter.
