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

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.

Hangouts introducing SMS support!

Bout damn time... good shiz Google!
Hopefully they add quick reply/mark as read/call from notification shade as well in future updates! :fingers-crossed:

according to google Hangouts is going to support SMS & MMS

I got the new apk. Using it for about 1 hr now and all is great!

Now make a black background option. All that white is blinding.

Same here. MMS works flawlessly.

Should I clear cache & data from Hangouts and uninstall via Play Store then install this? Thanks

Everything works for me except when I try to initiate a video call and then things go bad where it seems to hang on connecting and I can only close the app by rebooting.

MMS on official LP

so looks like VZW has left out or over looked (not like they didnt take their time on this update) to include the required MmsService.apk
Without this some, if not a lot of third party SMS apps will not send MMS, Google's hangout and Google's messenger app for example.
By installing this, flash it, extract it, or just install the APK. (if you dont have root this is the only way) This WILL fix the issue

How did u install it, are you on vzw, and try just installing it normally like any other app.
That's how I did it and sends and receives without issue

This is almost PSA worthy....
I bet VZW issues a small OTA to fix this...

I am using it on Tmo - Installed it as an APK and tried sending MMS with Hangouts, native HTC app and Textra all with no success

I hope they also provide a hot fix for SMS notification preview. Drives me nuts that I have to open messaging app to see who texted :-/

Previews do not work for the stock HTC app. No notification card or even a preview in the status bar like on KK with HTC one.

Believe me...I do too, however with the stock sms app if a group message come in, clicking the notification take you to the individual sms thread for the person that sent the text, not the group chat, which in of itself was enough to drive me crazy.

From my understanding LP on vzw took away the ability to edit the apns which I would imagine you had to change to get all the tmo stuff working.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk 2

Oddly enough I had to set up nothing on 4.4.4, it just worked once I have it on HSPA mode instead of LTE/CDMA

I'm stock and rooted while my wife's is stock. We both upgraded to Lollipop and was/is using Textra before the upgrade and continue to use it without an issue. I've sent and received MMS without hiccups.
Are we odd ones out or is there some bug that I'm not experiencing and could possibly find a fix on my phone to share with everyone?

Now HTC has to update phone and message app for heads up notifications!! [emoji84]

Direct Dial and Direct Message

The Direct Dial and Direct Message used to allow you to put a shortcut on the home screen to dial or text someone, and it set the picture for the icon as the contact picture, with one word in the bottom of the picture representing which phone (Home, Mobile, etc.)
Now it appears that functionality is gone... Is it?

Calling is still there, just not SMS. I've been using that app for a few weeks and it works perfect. Seriously there is no way to know it's not the stock.

Yes I am actually using it now... What about sending texts now?

What about sending texts? Nobody has a decent direct message link creation app?

Floating Messaging?

I tried to get this working but no dice. Anyone have any ideas?

If you're looking for the floating bubble, you should be able to simply swipe from the top left towards the center when you have your message app open and it should become a multi screen window. Then tap the bubble on top and minimize it and you have a floating bubble.
