I recently received a Gear S2 (paired to an LG Nexus 5X) and I have been unable to text people via S Voice (I receive a message stating that SMS Service is unavailable) or respond via notifications. However, I am able to text people through the "Buddy" and "Phone" applications that were pre-loaded on the watch.
Is this a compatibility issue with the phone I'm using or something else?
Thanks!

I have received two very unusual texts that don't seem to make much sense to me.
//ANDROID:${from} has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call ${callbackno} to listen. CFGs1840.105f53c3ffe2cafd3961pAZFdYeN//CM

Not entirely sure what this one is referring to. I don't use Sprint Voice mail because I use Google Voice. So my voice mail messages should be on that instead. I've never even bothered to set up the Sprint voice mail as I never have any intention of using it.

Not entirely sure what this one means. Googling it showed that it meant a text was successfully sent and for some reason my phone didn't filter out the message. I didn't send a text when I received this one though.
Both of these were sent from the phone number 9016. Looking it up this seems to be a Sprint number of some sort. I asked some other Sprint Android users if they got anything similar, and they had not. So is anyone else with a Nexus S 4G getting weird texts like this?
Sounds like sprint spam. That's weird that your phone is displaying code. I'd just ignore it.
I just received this today also. Messages exactly same as the OP and on the same phone and carrier ...
Not sure what it is all about either .. any detailed answers?
the message is how sprint handles visual voice mail. did you happen to have a phone before that had visual voice mail and never reset your voice mail settings when you got your nexus?
Joeykrim, big fan.
Try going to messaging app and do the following: send a text to 9999 and as the message type: Block 9016. You will get a text confirming blockage of that #

Had an Evo for 29 days, but I'm brand new to Sprint beyond that. I never set up any voicemail beyond Google Voice though.
Haven't had another instance of these texts yet though, so I'm just assuming a glitch on Sprint's side.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G "Lore" using XDA Premium App
multiple 9016 text messages.
I think i have found a fix for this annoying problem.
Ive found that it happens when u install some other text message app to handle your text messages instead of the stock messaging system.
I believe the 9016 messages are suppose to be hidden or silent messages and not actually get displayed, but when you set another program to handle all the messages, it doesnt know its not suppose to display it.
*So the FIX that i found that works is to,
tell the new text message program to Not Disable other message notifications. Meaning, remove the check mark associated with that option.
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.
For SMS, can you get rid of "Unable to receive messages on the gear. Change the..."
I use Textra and when I go to Messages on the watch, I get the common message of, "Unable to receive messages on the gear. Change the messaging app to Messages". If I click "X", most of my message are there. Is there a way to stop getting that message from popping up without switching to "Messages" on my phone?
or, is there another app besides "Messages" that integrates with the watch? I just don't like Samsung Messages.
Thanks everyone. Also, I have googled this topic, just want to get people opinions on this great forum.
I would also like to know how to get rid of this message.
Also, I use Google messenger as my default messaging app. On my s2 watch, I only see my own outgoing messages. It doesn't show any incoming messages. How do I see both sides of the conversation?
Do you prefer to use Verizon Message+ instead of the default Samsung Messages app? Here is how you can make, receive and respond to text messages with Verizon Message+ through your Gear S3 as if it were the stock Samsung Messages app.
1. Go to the Gear Manager app on your phone
2. Under the settings tab, click on notifications, then manage notifications
3. Scroll down, make sure that Messages is checked, and Message+ is unchecked.
That's it. Now you can receive and respond to incoming text messages through Verizon Messages+ as if it were the default Samsung messaging app. You can also compose new messages and scroll through all your messages by clicking on the messages app on your watch. Pictures also come through to the watch.
I haven't tried this trick on other 3rd party texts apps, but it may work. Post your results below.

Did you mean uncheck Messages and check Message+? Otherwise you won't get the verizon messages notifications to reply to. Also you can only receive group messages you can't reply to them.
I have messages checked and Verizon Message+ unchecked.
I am able to view and respond to group texts.

So you're using the Samsung messaging and can respond to group texts? I can see group texts but can't reply to group text using the Samsung messaging app.
ttown, thanks great discovery. I have Verizon Messages+ as my default app on the phone. On my Gear I have Samsung Messaging turned on and VZ Messages+ unchecked. Works like a charm. I have a Verizon Note 5 and my Gear S3 is on T-Mobile.

I have tried having the messaging notifications on and Verizon messenger off and vise versa. In either case i am not able to respond to a group message.
Can anyone respond to all members of a group text in a single reply?
I am unable to respond to text. I have tried all combos.
I've been unable to get this to work either. LGV20 and gear s3 classic.
Hi
Last couple of weeks I've started having problems sending texts via google assistant. When I send a message using google assistant it sends via watch and fails. Tbf, not checked sim credit in watch so tht may be the problem there.
How do I send from phone instead of my watch? If I go into messages on watch then I can send the text that way from my phone instead of watch. I have android messages on both watch and phone, have tried making it my default app on phone, but problem persists. If someone texts me and i reply using GA, then it works through phone, not watch.
What am I missing?
