Reply to Hangouts messages from S2 is broken again... - Samsung Gear S2

I've been able to reply to Hangouts messages with ease for months now....well up until like two days ago.
The biggest change is the i'm now on an S7 Edge instead of a Note 4.
Anyone else having problems now after going to the S7?

With my note 5 I had to install the android wear app. Didn't have to do anything except install it from the play store and hangouts started working

Thanks. That actually worked for me.

Thank you!
Thank you, I can confirm this now allows me to respond to messages on my AT&T Gear S2 Classic. I am using a note 4 and all I did was install the Android Wear app from the Play Store. I also noticed that the messages now come in on the S2 with background photos for the contact I am receiving them from.

Pebble Watch and GS4

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
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
If you turn on accessibility so that you can get whatsapp messages etc on the watch, then it enables talkback

But just regular accessibility turned on for normal function of the pebble it won't enable it?

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.

dual notifications.. getting annoying

out of nowhere, all my notifications are doubling on the watch. like I'll get a text, and i have textra, and it'll notify me like 2 to even 4 times of the same exact notification right in a row. it's so annoying. anyone else have this issue?

I do have that too, and the number of notifications seems to vary between 1 and 3...
ugh isn't it awful?! idk how the hell to fix it.
It's set by Samsung this way to show the first text you received. Sucks

It also does that with Kik..

I don't get it though. I'll get only 1 text from someone, but get like 5 notifications for that 1 text.

An update was released yesterday and that seemed to fix the notifications. Well, I don't get the same Kik messages notifications anymore.

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.

Mine works fine. I changed nothing, it was just working on day. I like it.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
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.

Updated gear manager

My gear manager updated today and now I can't read emails from Samsung email app on watch. Says security issue. Anyone else?
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Someone in the general forum posted something about it. Apparently it is a Corporate Email Security Policy setting change.
I'd check there.

Using stock email app? Is you email on exchange?
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Yes to both questions. I have my own exchange account hosted by a third party. Apps4rent. There is a setting that your server is using to prevent reading. I can't read my work email which is on my company's server so I use Mailwise which has an exchange security bypass setting. I can at least read the headings for those email.

Looks like things are working in the new update.

New update came and call notification went out the door
I got a new Samsung gear manager app update Black Friday and my watch stopped notifying me of incoming calls. I get missed calls. I'm sick of [email protected]#$%^$#@@#!
I'm back to using my old note 4 because of the note 7 blow ups. Now no calls on my watch.
When you call samsung they can't help but they are aware of the problem.

SMS app

Hi,
Out of interest, what SMS are people using ? Sticking with stock?
Stock :good:
Sent from my Galaxy S8+ using XDA Labs
Textra here. Almost never use stock apps if I can help it. Aqua mail for email.
Stock as SMS apps is use for receiving bank acknowledgement, bank verification code. That it.
Yaata here
Stock for now. Maybe hangouts later or Android messages

Just installed textra. Quite impressed. Nice little app
Textra. Used it when it first came out, and then went pro shortly after.
Pulse sms is fantastic. You can also Pay the 5.00 and text from anywhere, Tablet, PC, Wear watch. Plus it will back up and encrypt your messages.
