I have the Gear S2 smartwatch connected via bluetooth to my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active variant with root access. I got the watch for Christmas and it has work flawlessly up until last week. It still receives all notifications and phone calls. Out of no where, it suddenly doesn't send text messages anymore. It just shows the spinning circle. I have tried a light reset to the watch, but nothing. Any suggestions or advice to fix this issue.

Hi,
Have a Samsung Galaxy Core. As of this morning, any text messages I try to send just disappear from view as soon as I hit send. The recipients do appear to receive them (I tested on a coworker), however there is no record of them going through on my end in the text conversation. Very frustrating as I'm not sure if they're going through all the time and there is no record of them. They literally just disappear as soon as I hit send. Spoke to my provider (Telus) who advised to download something called Samsung Kies, but the software doesn't work (can't connect to my phone). Can also no longer access the Play Store.
Has anyone had this problem and successfully managed to fix it?
Thanks!
My wife just got a Gear S2 watch and it's paired to a Galaxy Note 3. She uses GO SMS Pro for her texting program and it doesn't vibrate the S2 when she receives a new text msg. It is set in the Gear settings to accept notifications. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Have you tried enabling it in notifications via the Samsung gear app?
I was wondering if someone can tell me what to expect differently when using a Samsung phone? I'm currently using my gear s2 with a nexus 6p and thinking of getting the S7 but only if there are enough benefits to using it with the watch. Can someone who is aware itemize the advantages of using it with a samsung phone?
I use it with a non Samsung phone and the only thing not available are the messages and email apps on the gear.

I'm also running the 6p and I receive both messages and emails on my S2, no problem. You just need to make sure they are authorized via the on phone app.
Or are you saying you aren't able to enter or send messages/emails? I've not figured out how to do that .... but trying to do that via the small watch screen would be difficult anyway.

Yes i cant send messages or emails because the apps are missing. But of course i get the notifications on the watch which is enough for me .
I have a problem in accepting calling calls in Gear S2. I can see only Reject button, but no Accept button. I am using OP2. Does anyone has the same issue?
You don't have the e-mail app and SMS app, so You can only view the new ones without attachments if You have proper apps and settings for it (I use HUB for e-mails and Messenger(not the fb one!) for SMS in my BlackBerry Priv).
Also, You cannot answer the incoming call. You can reject + reject with text message, but not answer.
What is more - I found out that using non-Samsung phone the Gear S2 does not see the alarm from my phone. Previously it was vibrating and I could snooze / cancel it from Gear S2. Now I cannot.
I use it with LG G4 and I can't buy any apps... I can install only free apps.
How do u set it up to get messages on the watch. I got the free att gear s2 the 4g model, and I can pair it thru bluetooth with my iphone. When I get a phone call, the watch alerts me, but when I get messages, my watch doesn't receive any messages. I'd really like to know how to get it to receive messages.
hi, I have the non LTE Gear S3 Frontier. Message Notifications from Whatsapp and my phone text are not showing on my watch. same for email notifications... Phone calls are relayed to my watch but not whatsapp calls. Remote connections and the app notifications are checked in Samsung gear app... in Summary notifications are very unstable.... any ideas pls?
I get a problem with notifications too.
Sometimes they arrive , sometimes they arrive some minutes later, sometimes they never turn up whatever the source of the notification.
This is via a BT connection.
Tried resetting and altering the settings to no avail.
I was hoping to use just the vibration notifications on the watch and not sound on the phone as a lot less intrusive in meetings etc. but looks like it is not reliable enough for that.
yes, exactly same problem here! its a problem as not reliable at all... very dissapointed! I am using S7 edge fyi... hoping that there is a fix
Not sure if this will help for you, but one thing I noticed was a setting on the Gear app on the phone, under notifications, "Show while using phone"
Mine was off, which meant that if my phone screen was on, no notifications came through to the watch. I turned it on, and now they all come, all the time.
Is it possible to reply via a voice message on Whatsapp? Not the Svoice.. But a voice message..
I'm having a really weird problem right now. My Huawei Watch 1 was working perfectly before I upgraded my phone to the Galaxy Note 8 from the S8+ I reset the watch and notifications for text messages stopped working and Android messages won't load to the watch. At first I was getting text messages, but now it's not showing them at all. I checked the version after a factory data reset and I have the newest software installed. The other problem is that Android Messages won't install on the watch because the current version of it isn't compatible with the watch. I'm getting notifications for something else and full notification access is being given to Android Wear and Huawei Services. I haven't been able to send messages via other apps like Wear Messenger which works temporarily but then fails.
Has anyone had this issue and is there a solution? I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere for this.
Having the same issue. Installed "Feel The Wear" app and am now getting a notification, but the message itself doesn't appear on my phone.
