Gear S2 and Google Hangouts notification history - Samsung Gear S2

Ok so I just noticed something I would like if anyone could chime in on. When I receive a hangout notification on the watch, at the bottom of the message there is a "READ MORE>" button. Tapping this lets me read the hangout thread going much farther back than just the current message in the notification.
However, once you clear the Hangout notification, you cannot view it anymore which means you can't type into Hangouts until you get another message/notification.
My question is this, is it possible to re-open notifications after you clear them? That would be nice... then I could, in essence, initiate a Hangouts message to someone I already had a message history with, i.e. all my contacts!

No, once you clear them they are gone. Instead of clearing them, back out with the button and return to your watch face, then they will stack and still be able to be replied to.

Interesting same issue with WhatsApp but only when you get 2 or more messages from the same contact, if you click read more hoping to see the others unread messages watch goes bonkers back way beyond

repeating notifications issue

I have the modded rc30 and I keep getting the same notifications over and over, was wondering if this is an rc30 issue or the modded rc30 or just a weird situation only I'm having
It's probably related to the the info in this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445253
no this isn't an update notification. it's text message notification. i'll clear them and then when i hit messages it's back again have to clear notifications
Check your text message usage and see if you are being charged for each of these messages. If you don't clear it out, do you get the message again?
maybe i'm stupid. i think maybe i just cleared it out of the notifications bar and never checked it thats why it popped back up in the notification bar when i click messages. i thought i had checked it though. i'll see.
i = stupid /thread
I have an application-specific issue similar to this. If someone does and "@" reply to me on Twitter... Twitdroid will not stop notifying me of the reply until I reply back to the person. I've notified the developer of this but haven't heard back.

Go to new sms messages

Sorry if this has been asked, but is there a way that when you open the messages app it goes to the new messages rather than your last screen? It seems silly that the phone knows I have new messages to view, but instead takes me to the last message I was in.
You can try using alternative SMS apps and see if they have a feature like that.
I know GO SMS (and handcent and others) have a notification pop up when someone texts you. Pressing on that pop up would bring you to that particular SMS thread.

Viber messages won't always show

hi guys, I have the gear s2 for about a day only so far, and is hoping some of you can help me with the issues I'm experiencing.
1. When I receive a message on Viber, the watch doesn't vibrate (have read through similar threads on this already and have tried factory resetting and uninstalling the gear app on my phone). Watch vibrates fine when I receive messages via the default messaging app. I did add Viber to the notification apps on the gear app.
2. Checking the notification area, it just shows me "NAME has sent you a text message" instead of the actual message itself. At first I thought this is as good as I can get it to work, and that it isn't compatible with Viber to show the actual messages, but last night when I went to sleep, I received 3 Viber messages, and this morning, when I checked the watch, all 3 "actual" messages were displayed on the notification screen. So there must be some ways to make this work? New messages I've received thus far this morning have reverted back to "NAME has sent you a text message" notification. I think it is kind of pointless to have a smartwatch that doesn't vibrate when someone sends you a text via Viber, and when you do check your watch, you only see a notification that someone sent you a text message instead of being able to read the actual message.
3. The watch forces you to use the default messaging app, and won't work properly with Go SMS Pro. I've always used Go SMS Pro, because the default messaging app is very slow on threads with a lot of messages. Any workaround for this?
4. Is it safe to use the dock with my Samsung quick charger adapter or do I have to use its own adapter?
I pair the watch with a Galaxy Note Edge. Thanks!
EDIT: Fixed the Viber issue by enabling "Show Message Preview" on Viber settings within your phone app. The downside is, when enabled, the notifications on your phone when you receive a Viber message will also show the whole actual message.
anyone guys? especially #2? Is there a way to make viber messages show the actual message itself and not just a notification? thanks

After using the watch for another day, I found out that Go SMS Pro works with the watch, and you don't have to use the default Samsung Messaging app.
Also found out that when you receive a Viber message from 1 person, the watch will only notify you that you have received a text message. But if another person sends you a message through Viber as well (without you opening your phone yet), then both "actual" messages will start to show on the watch. Replying will still require your phone, as you can't reply though the watch. Weird that this happens and I hope it can be fixed.
Thanks.

Question Google messages not working on GW4

This is really annoying
When I start Google Messages on watch, it urges me to install Google Messages on the phone.
I do it but Messages on watch do not "see" installed Messages on phone and keeps me urging to do it
Any solution ?
Try making it the default message app in settings....

I did
I believe I did the same steps as you, although there was another setting on the watch for the messages app, like enabling notifications both on the phone and watch. I did also uninstall/reinstall messages on both phone and watch. I could read all the messages that were on my phone. But as I posted elsewhere, the watch did not display notifications for new messages, and the only way to read a new message on the watch was to open the messages app on the watch. I found this less than useful. I am using Next SMS until this gets worked out. It pops up a notification on the watch and allows me to read the message with a swipe.

Question NotiStar problem or how else can I turn notification feed into iPhone-like?

Hello, I switched from iPhone to Galaxy A52. Instantly noticed that notification systems are different: on iPhone, I could just scroll down into infinity; On Galaxy, it shows only a few recent notifications. So I installed NotiStar — it solved half of the problem, but new problems appeared:
When viewing from the lock screen, notification bubbles are transparent: I can see background, clock, etc. — way harder to read notifications.
On iPhone when I open notification it brings me directly to the source. For example, I receive a message from a friend, click on it, and it opens our chat. Notistar just opens the application. Most of my notifications come from Telegram, where I have like 100 channels and chats — it becomes tedious to search for the right one.
Sometimes my notifications get duplicated. Happens like: I receive a message in Telegram but don't open it, it appears in Notistar. Then I receive 2 more messages. Somehow they are logged grouped with the first one. The process repeats until I view or clear the received message from the notification center.
Please, tell me, how can I fix all that? If not with NotiStar, maybe with another app?
TL;DR: I want a chronological scrollable notification feed, that will bring me to the right chat when clicked
