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 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.
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.
I have this issue that is driving me crazy. When I'm in the car (Vauxhall Astra with Intellilink 900 infotainment system) and connected to it by bluetooth, it goes crazy when a text message arrives. It starts to show notifications for historic text messages. It asks me if I want to listen or dismiss the message. If I choose listen, nothing happens except dismissing that message and moving onto another one. I have to dismiss about 30-40 text messages every time! Once I've dismissed all of the messages the system appears normal except it will not report new SMS text messages. This did not happen with my Galaxy S7 Edge.
Anyone else experienced anything similar?
I have similar issues with my Ford Focus where it will constantly alert me to new (old) messages. The November Pixel security update was supposed to have addressed that issue, but I'm still experiencing it.

On my phone, I ended up going to Bluetooth Settings, selecting my phone, and turning off the "messages" profile.

I've got the same issue with my Ford EcoSport. I thought it was the crappy Ford Sync, now i know better.
Looks like it's a Pixel issue then. I've tried using different SMS apps on the phone but it makes no difference.
Same issue here with a 2016 Chevy Silverado. I went into the settings in the radio and disabled message notifications to prevent this from happening until the root cause can be resolved.
Hello everyone =)
I was using Google Messenger with my Gear s3, but I had some problems with MMS not being downloaded to my phone.
So i tried Textra and was surprised how smooth and good looking it is, and it is able to show me history of my conversion when I receive a text and also show pictures of received MMS messages
My only problem is that i am not able to get any sound on my watch when i receive a message from Textra, other stuff like e-mail is working.
My phone is on mute, so when i turn on the sound on my phone I also get a sound on my watch when receiving a Textra message.
Any ideas? =)
does anyone know why i can't reply to my SMS or my what'sapp messages form the watch.? and how to fix this problem?
Unforunately Gear S3/Sport do not work with some system SMS apps, andwith Whatsapp the upgrade is said to cause problems and the solution to it is downgrade to 2.18.46 on your phone - I am checking it today to see whether it works.
with SMS I had the same problem, I installed Textra and now it works fine - in notifications I have the whole conversation - but when I terminate the notification, all disappears

Wow, I use Textra and I just bought A Gear Sport. Waiting on very slow shipping.
If Textra does not work well on the Gear Sport, that would be a huge deal breaker. It might be going right back up for sale.
