Since a few weeks my Gear 2 has the following notification problem:
For example, when I get 3 whatsapp messages on my phone like this:
Hey
How ar you doing
are*
My Gear 2 vibrates 3 times for each message, but it shows them like this:
Name of contact
Hey
Name of contact
Hey
Name of contact
Hey
So it always shows the first message. It's is doing this with all the apps. To get it fixed it I tried a factory reset of my Gear, factory reset of my phone and different phone. But I still have the problem.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
I'm having this problem too. Did you just update your whatsapp app? I noticed this problem after I updated whatsapp.

I don't know exactly at what moment the problem started to show up. After a few tests today it seems like some apps do it right, and some apps don't. There should be an option in Samsung Gear Manager to set the order of the messages before taking the first one.
Does anyone else here use MightyText? Since switching over to the Idol 3 last week, I'm having some issues. When I send a text from the MightText web client, the message goes out and the recipient receives it. However, the message doesn't show up in the conversation list on my phone (it used to show up on my old phone). I tried uninstalling GoSMS and just using the stock message app but it's still happening.
If there are other MT users on this board, can you tell me if you have the same issue on your Idol 3?

I don't use that app but whenever moving from one Android version to a new one there are always apps that don't work properly. Same thing happens on Windows as well. The app dev needs to update their app for the new OS. Let them know what happening and if their still supporting their app they will fix it. I have an issue with Next Browser but my issue is it won't even install. Others are having the same issue on Lollipop but on other phones besides the Idol 3. I would recommend using an app that works on Lollipop until your favorite one is being updated/fixed. You may need to do some searching.
It is working for me. After installing the app, the app directs you to a website. This confirms it is communicating with the phone.
I have contacted the developer and informed them. I was just curious if this is a Lollipop issue, and Idol 3 issue, or just something screwy with my phone, and that's what I'm trying to track down.

Right, the app itself is working and sending text messages. The problem I'm having is that the outgoing text doesn't show up in the conversation list, so when I'm viewing a conversation on my phone, I can only see the other person's texts, not the ones I sent through MightyText. If I send a message through the phone, it shows up as normal.
It's not really a major issue, just something that was working fine on my old GS4/KitKat but isn't working the same on my Idol 3/Lollipop.
i just noticed that. kind of makes it one sided..... i have the same issue. I am going to try push bullet and see if that fixes it

same thing happens with pushbullet. My responses do not appear in the messages. bummer....
I know I'm late to this party, but I also have the same issue. Any luck with Pushbullet? This is definitely somehow specific to the idol3. I haven't had this issue with any other phone over the years, on any Android OS version.

I installed Textra yesterday and it's been working great. I tried Hangouts but was having weird issues.

So you're successfully using Pushbullet or Mightytext with Textra, on the Idol 3? Including outgoing messages showing in the message threads? I just can't seem to get this working right on my phone.

I have Pushbullet, Textra, MightyText, Hangouts, Messenger and Messaging. I have tried various combinations to get my outgoing text from my Chromebook to appear on my Idol3, but no success. I had no troubles with my Nexus 5.

Well at least it's not just me. Thanks for the input.
Similar issue with OK Google sent texts
I'm having a similar issue when I send texts using "Ok Google".
The texts are received by the other party fine, but they never show up in my text history.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Anyone know of any fixes?
Same Issue Here
Outgoing texts do not appear in my conversation list for IFFT, Macrodroid sent texts.
I looked all over the internet for this issue... I'm glad I know now what's the problem, but I wish
a solution had emerge... any luck for you guys ?
This seems to be an Alcatel issue. I have tried reaching their support team regarding this issue and have not had any responses.
This makes the phone useless for me as I send out a lot of group texts via my computer. If I had known this would not work, I would have never purchased it.

I have the same issue with my Huawei Ascend mate 7, it is annoying
same problem
hey, anyone find an answer for this issue
does force update to 5.1.1 solves issue or not
thanks in advance
Maybe a sync issue with Google? Check settings and permissions. Import contacts to phone.
i turned all sync off and the i imported contacts from vcf file to phone, and only viewing contacts from phone, but still same problem(sometimes they sho and other time disappear)
I just have this same problem today
- contact blank
- message blank when open
SOLVED
I have solved this by factory resetting. No other solution worked. It happened last week after updating some Apps, probably Google related.
Seems its SOLVED
Had the same problem. MT7-TL10, Android 4.4.2 B128.
After updating to Android 4.4.2 B130, this problem haven't occurred yet. So far doing good after updating the software to B130. Its available at huawei website. Some users say that updating to 5.1.1 also solves this issue, not sure about that
Too late..ditched the Mate-7 n got a Mate-8 :/
hey friends... just clear the contacts app cache.. problem solved..!!!
Hi.
Have the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier BT version paired with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
I'm receiving all notifications with the exception of TXT messages even though I believe the setting seems to be correct.
Anyone else experience a problem receiving message notifications?
Ed
Do you use the stock Samsung SMS app on the phone? If not, that may be the issue.

Thank you.
I sent a txt to myself via the watch (no prompt to change app as using the default app already).
Phone received the txt as did the watch.
Watch now displaying notifications of txt's received without making any system changes.
Must have been caught in a lost loop or something.
Weird but I will certainly remember this solution should it occur again.
Cheers.
interesting. I also sent a text to myself and this started working with the default SMS app.
I have the same problem, but that did not fix it for me.
I have Gear s3 Frontier. Number sync on . Connected to s6 edge plus via Bluetooth.
It has been working fine. It quit a few days ago, and I couldn't get it fixed, ended up uninstalling everything and doing a reset on the watch. This is terribly inconvenient, setting up NumberSync again etc.
I go to notification settings on the phone in the gear app and Messages is not listed anymore. I get the texts on the watch, but only if I go into the app. Any help?

That's the problem. "messages" is now missing from there. It's not listed at all. No option to turn it on. Only way is to factory reset the gear and Uninstall and re install gear app on the phone.
I'm in France and i have exactly the same problem since a few days without doing anything in the settings of the gear s3 classic or in the phone (an s7) : all the notifications except sms and "messages" is no more in the gear app settings. Sorry for my english and thank you for the futur help.
Francis.
+1 same problem is that Messages is not showing up as an option within the Gear app's Notification tab/window. It was there previously before recent update on S3 Frontier (using S7 Edge).

I haven't found a fix yet. Only thing that fixes if for a while is completely in installing gear app and resetting the gear itself. But then you have to set everything up again. Very frustrating. I opened a ticket with att and Samsung, haven't heard back in a couple weeks though. Lol
Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. Hopefully they fix it soon...

Same issue here - factory reset of the phone was the only thing that fixed it. Then started to do the same thing a couple days later.
Don't forget to set notifications to On in the phone app
Hi there, had the same issue. I found that although the phone was set to notifications in settings...that in the actual message app (standard one) under settings there, my notifications were set to OFF! So, seems like you need to set notifications ON in app on phone, on the phone settings, in the Gear app..and make sure you give it some sort of vibrate/noise in settings on watch, then it should work! :good:
I've had the issue crop up a couple times but was able to resolve it by activating the cellular on the watch and sending a text to the phone. Yesterday, that didn't work. Today I noticed that instead of 2 Bluetooth connections for the S3 on the phone, there is now 1, shows call audio. Wondering if this is the root of the problem. Can others who have the problem check and see if this is occurring on your phones as well?
here's the fix: Go into your app mananger on your phone, click on the Gear S plugin app, then click on storage and clear the cache. Restart your gear s3 and it's back to normal
Having the same problem

I am having the exact same issue as you with my s3. Did you ever find a solution? I have searched far and wide but im stumped. Even had Samsung look at the watch, but of course they found nothing.
I'm having this problem now too... It just started out of nowhere. I can see the message on my watch if I scroll to the notifications screen, but it does not vibrate nor show when I twist my wrist... I have tried everything... Every single thing necessary is on. I've even done a factory reset WITH uninstalling all the apps on my phone and installing everything in order again. Setup the watch as new. This isn't cool. Half of the reason I have this watch is for notifications. Seriously, Sammy needs to get it together! I've been having WAY too many problems with this watch in the last couple months.
Anyone found a fix? Nothing anyone has mentioned previously works.
Having the same issue here. No freaking idea what's going on. Have tried just about everything. Textra works but AM doesn't. Even Gmail doesn't work. So basically it seems like Google apps aren't working
When I go to make a phone call with the Galaxy S8+, the contacts part of the app runs fine, I can select a contact and then click call.
But once the call starts I get the message 'Phone has stopped' & 'Phone keeps stopping', and there is no way for me to end the call...
I have tried booting into safe mode and making a call, but I get the same issue...
Is anyone else experiencing this?
*FIXED*
Uninstall the updates for the package 'com.samsung.android.incallui'.

What version of the phone app are you using?
Do mention other details as well like Exynos or SD, and whether it's a WiFi call, VoLTE or just an ordinary phone call.
I had the same issue a couple weeks after updating the phone or contacts app with an apk file, cant remember which one it was.
Stranger thing was that when I wanted to make a call it actually did make the call while the popup was there that phone app was closed.
As I was not able to uninstall the update I did a factory reset of my S8+. Same issue was there after the reset, I ended up doing a clean flash with odin. Everything is fine now.

That may have been what has happened to me, as I updated the phone/contacts apk's a few weeks back...
Thanks guys!
I'm guessing that I am going to need to find the default apk and restore it (com.android.phone)
*UPDATE/FIXED*
Just in case this affects anyone in the future.
I fixed it by using 'Package disabler pro' to uninstall the updates for the package 'com.samsung.android.incallui'.
I figured it out by monitoring the logcat (to monitor background errors from the developer tools), and I spotted that the error was coming from this package, so after removing all updates for it, now all works fine again.
I hope that this will save anyone from having to re-flash in the future!
I just used PDP to uninstall it as I find that tool to be quite effective at showing all info needed about the package before making any changes, but I'm sure that you can remove the updates with any other app!
@thuglife:
You may want to take note just in case it happens again in the future!
