I have Google Voice, and I want to be able to sms from Sliding Messenger Free - can't post the link because I am a new member but it is on the play store.
I am having trouble getting the number to show up as my google voice # for the recipient.
I have GV set to receive texts to sliding messenger, but when I go to sliding messenger to send one it displays my service number. It works fine for replying to messages though.
On Google Voice website I have it set to use my Google Voice number when sending sms so I don't know why it isn't working.
Galaxy S2 Virgin Mobile.
Hi all, I have a SW2 with a Galaxy Note 3.
I love SW2, but I miss a lot of notifications.
I would like to view on the watch all the emails I receive (I have 3 Gmail account + 1 Gapps account).
With GMAIL extensions, sometimes I get notifications, sometimes I do not get them... above all on my Gapps account. How to solve?
Moreover: I use hangouts both for SMS and chat.
If I receive 2 SMS and 3 chat, I can read on the phone (using WatchIt): you have 5 notifications, but I cannot read neither the SMSes nor the Chats.
Same thing with Whatsapp: I cannot read the text, I can read only: "You have a new whatsapp message" (or similar).
I have different ringtones, so I already know if I have a Whatsapp, SMS, Hangout or other message.
Is there a way to read them all on the watch?
Which app should I use?
Whatchit does not seem ti permit it.
Thanks in advance

Hi
I like to get your feedback. I have a ASUS watch (Zen 2), off course using Android Wear. I like the integration with many Android apps like Whatspps, Viber, Hotmail, Gmail, Twiter, Google Maps, Spotyfy, almost any apps, even my bank account. The question is if I can have the same functionality with the Gear S3, based on Tizen? I mean the functionality to see the messages on the watch and even reply them.
Or if is just only a matter to have installed Android Wear on the phone?
I'll appreciate your comments.
Thanks.
I don't have any issue with notification from Viber or Watchapp,Gmail and replying directly from the smartwatch.
I'm also having Zenwatch 3 and functionality is the same.
Once you receive a whatsapp message on the S3 and read it, it's gone. So you can't reply again unless you receive another message.
There is a very good app called notification wear which you can get from the play store.
When you receive a message, it stores it.Even when you delete a whatsapp message it still stores the person who sent the message so you can reply at anytime.
You can setup which message apps you want to receive like facebook, Viber, gmail and so on.
You get 20 free messages after that you need to pay for the premium app. But it's only £1.70 and worth it.
Hi, I couldn't find anywhere such an info. This could be a potential reason for me not to buy this watch.
Is it possibile to directly start an hangout chat or a whatsapp chat directly from the watch? I mean can I only answer to a recieved hangout or whatsapp message I guess, but can I even send a new message directly from the watch?
I own a Huawei Watch and, at least for Google hangout, I can start a new chat directly from the smartwatch.
Thanks in advance, this is really important for me.
I'm using an app called NOTIFICATION STYLE GEAR for receiving and sending whatsapp messages, it can also send & receive emails, FB, Google Now,Hangout and more.
When you receive a whatsapp message it stores the contact and you can reply at any time.
But there is just one problem with the app, it can only store your messages for as long as the watch is on, if you turn it off, you loose your messages/whatsapp contacts. Then you need wait for the person to send another message again.
It's available on play store, your get 20 free tries, then you need to purchase the app.
It's not perfect, but at the moment this is the only app I have found that you can reply to a contract stored on your watch.
There is also another app called what history. Which let's you store whatsapp messages, the developer said you will be able to reply to messages in the next update.
First of all thank you very much for your answer.
I thought that you could answer any notification without having to use a dedicated app, I mean, I though you could answer a whatsapp or a hangout message on your own on the watch without any app. Isn't it true?
I was asking just whether or not you need a separate app to start a new chat on your own.
Now, from your answer it seems like you need an app to reply to a chat message too. This is scaring. 😱😱😱
I mean, then what kind of notification you can answer on your own on the watch, just sma and email?
You can answer a message: whatsapp , mail or hanghouts. but you cannot start one.

Then, the app Iamac was talking about is needed to start a conversation with hangout or WhatsApp directly from the watch?
Hello Aratheba, the app I use works like this.
When you receive a whatsapp message it stores it on the watch. You can delete the message but it will keep the senders name. That way you can reply at any time. I'm not sure if it is the same for hangout messages as I do not use it.
As I said earlier, the downside to this app is when you turn the watch off, as it looses all the contacts and messages. And you have to wait till you receive another message then it stores it again.
This app works well as you get a pop up on the watch with the senders whatsapp profile pic. There are many settings within the app for different vibrate patterns for different message types. For example, you can have 3 vibrates for whatsapp and 5 for hangout. You can also change the font size to make it either easier to read or smaller to fit more of the message on the watch screen.
I hope this helps you.

Thanks. Now it's crystal clear.
It's not perfect but it's a beginning. It would be interesting to know whether it really works for hangout too.
Thanks anyway
What do you use hangouts for? I just tried it.
With the app I use, it isn't very good. I don't see any emails. If I use sms I can receive but no option to reply.
You are meant to receive hangout messages with the watch's own app, when I tried it, I got no notifications. There is a list of app notification to choose from and hangouts was selected.
For emails I use a android phone app called MY MAIL it merges all my email accounts into one app and I can use this with notification wear app I have for the watch.

I use hangout way more than whatsapp. There are several reasons for.me to prefer hangout over whatsapp, but it would be ot here.
I also use Hangouts more than Whatsapp, as it is used as my company's chat app. Have been using Wear for the last 2 years, and have never found a reason to start a message on the watch. Trying to find the contact you need would take forever. Replying to a message i done a few times, probably now a bit more as the S3 has a " keyboard".
It's easier than you think: you just don't have to archive chat and you can easily add a new message to an already existing thread. No need to search for contacts.
Moreover I found that voice dictation on wear it's almost perfect.
And, if you try last preview for wear 2.0 you even have keyboard and hand writing. ?
Reading some reviews only one I read recently pointed out that using gear s3 on a not Samsung android smartphone you cannot use s voice to perform text to speech in answering, for instance, SMS or mail or whatsapp, etc
Is it really true? That's a shame!!!
What else will I miss using a not Samsung android phone?
Tia
I have the Gear S3 Frontier paired with a OnePlus 3 and S Voice is working, I can answer and write messages by using my voice but I can't read my text messages or my emails, I just have a notification when it comes, and I can answer it that way, but there isn't a real application "messages" and "e-mail" as you may have with a Samsung device.
I'm trying to look for it.
That's OK. I mean, you can answer mail, SMS, chat (hangout, whatsapp) notifications using s voice.
But you can't read old sma, mails, chats, etc right?
I use android wear and apart from hangout where you have a dedicated app it's the same. That's OK for me.
I just need to be able to use voice to text to answer current notifications.
Anyone with a mate 9 can confirm it?
