Another message app with keyboard besides Fleksy?

Just seeing of anyone knows of another messaging app with a keyboard. I saw a video of tablet talk but that was on the gear. Fleksy is good but no Swype and only let's you respond to contacts. Doesn't even show unnamed contacts in the inbox.

Have you tried 1C SMS Sender or calliGEARaphy and Fast SMS personally I liked the 1C SMS one, but it seems to interfere with the "OK Google" command on the phone. Otherwise I thought it was the best of the bunch.

Try short messenger. It has the numpad keypad similar to oldschool phones.

The ones I listed above are all available for the Gear 1 & Gear 2 Tizen. If you can't find them it's Samsungs fault. You have to do some trickery with either the build prop or the files on the Gear.
Chris

Yeah I was just about to ask if those were for the watch. Couldn't find some of them and one charges you per message or something? I'll just stick with Flesky.

Man you have to explain to me how to access all these apps! Is it tricky ?

download build.prop editor and you can change a line to make your NoteII look like an S5, I'm out and about, but search the gear forums on Gear 1 and Gear 2, there are a couple of posts that describe how. But the line should read SM-G900T for S5 or SM-N900T for Note 3. S5 seemed to show more in the past for me. After you change the model number, reboot and check the app store again. Then you can change it back.

I never had the beta. I was too late to register.
However, there are a lot of UI changes when compared with the leaked 1.5 version. ?
And the Bluetooth app installations in the watch are possessed much faster, although they are still slow as hell.

All I see is the Gear Fit app anything on the S2?

YES - in app store there is the old beta. UNFORTUNATELY the app has the same error that the last beta had (I have reported 3 weeks ago to the developers): when you call in S Health a training with recorded route the app hangs/crashes.
The same thing happens with other users or only with my iPhone SE?

i had installed on iphone 6 plus IOS 10.2
but as I said, unfortunateley, same that nothing is changed. only read whatsapp/sms, whatsapp no pictures, no contacts, no calls, no maps....

just downloaded the official app : works like a charm ! I got an iPhone SE (iOs 10) and a Gear S2. Here are the step needed :
- remove the leaked app from both your phone and your itunes library
- make forget the watch in the bluetooth settings of the iPhone
- reset the watch to factory settings
After the reboot of the watch, you just need to start the app and link them again. If this doesn't work, check the firmware of the watch, must be the last one.

I only reseted the watch. Nothing else.
Basically I installed the official version, and reseted the watch. Only then I uninstalled the leaked version. But there was a few minutes with both the official and the leaked versions installed and everything was working as it is now.
Ah, and I didn't make the phone forget the watch in the Bluetooth settings. Just left it there.

Awesome thanks! It works for both my wife's and my watch! Funny thing is we had been Samsung galaxy people for 7+ years and just switched to an iPhone two days ago. I run a business and the Samsung just couldn't hang with me and my business. I was extremely bombed because I loved my watch and so did my wife and thought we were going to have to go purchase Apple Watch is. But this saves me! Thanks

Gear S3 screen timeout - Altimeter

Hi All
I want to use my Gear S3 for paragliding. Does anyone know of anyway to have the Altimeter stay on screen without timing out? I need to have it on screen for the duration of the flight which could be 1-2hrs.
Many Thanks
Myles

not without interacting with the app every 30 seconds.
I've requested the ability to keep an active app open until manually closed, and i suggest you do the same.
more people requesting it means a bigger chance they'll change it.
you can suggest changes here: https://help.content.samsung.com/csweb/ticket/createQuestionTicket.do

Your link doesn't work for me. I'm in Spain, and the link just brings up a page with a message in Spanish offering to redirect me to Galaxy apps. No other option, so I accept that and it does indeed open the Galaxy Apps store on my phone - but just at the home page. I need to know the name of your app so I can search for it on there. Can you please therefore confirm the name of your app?

it's called "I Am Alive"
most likely the app isn't available for your region, so your galaxy apps app opens the main page instead.

Thanks. I searched for "I Am Alive" in the Galaxy appps store and found it without difficulty, and have downloaded it. Thanks heaps. Just shows, for marketing and practical reasons it's always a good diea to state the actual name of your app whenever you refer to it.

Hi everyone,
The main reason I got this watch was to use as a secondary alti whilst skydiving. I chose it based on the fact that I could use the app to keep the app open.
I tested it during a jump today and unfortunately the watch was still going back to sleep after 2 or 3 minutes. Have Samsung updated the OS to prevent wakelock of any type or something? Has anyone got a workaround or an alternative app?
Alternatively, does anyone know of an android wear OS app method to do this? I may have to refund the S3 and switch to the Huawei watch 2 if I can't get this working unfortunately. It would be a shame if I had to, its a beautiful smart watch (although I have found it to be very limited in certain ways).
Thanks

New Gear Software Update Pushed Today (14th Sept)

Fixed the voice recognition. Tested and worked. Not sure what else was fixed in this release but thought I'd start a thread for it.

well my test consisted of opening the messages app, replying to an existing text by speaking. The watch asked if I wanted to send the speech as an audio file or actual text. I selected text and off it went. recognized all words I spoke "Just trying to send a test".

size - 18.8MB
- S Voice - Accuracy and performance improvements
- Incoming message vibration notification support extended to 3rd party apps

Just got an update as well (T-Mobile) R735TUVU3CQH2 around 25.5MB Version 2.3.2.2

US wifi watch updated this morning and I got none of that. Voice reply still doesn't work.

Hello to everyone. I'm dealing problems after last update of gear app software. Every time Gear S2 tries to exchange data (reconnection, data to Shealth, watch apps install) with Galaxy S5 (android 5.0 and android 6.0.1) it uses 99% of phone cpu for 50-60sec, , sucking both batteries (phone and watch). Tried on android 5.0, android 6.0.1, rooted or not. Is there any ideas what is wrong?

Re the battery status what do you mean?
Re the Widget - I did think of that but I wasn't sure what value it would add ... you mean to more easily launch it?
What I *really* want to do is create a Tizen 5.0 complication so that people can place the launcher on their watchfaces ... hope Tizen 5 devices come out soon!

Amazing job.

anyway we will have this for google assistant too?

My reading of the Google Assitant terms of service is that it is for new hardware devices only, but I'd love to be told I'm wrong, since I'm pretty sure I've done a lot of the hard work with the low-level audio and http/2 connections already.

In the watch app you can swipe right to an empty screen. Why is this there?

Registration
Hello. Just bought the app from the GalaxyApps Store. However, every time I launch it from the watch, it gives me a new registration code. I enter it, I get the message saying it was successful and my registration is now complete. Then it happens all over again. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: OK, it seems to be fine now. On the 9th or 10th try, it stayed registered. I don't think I changed anything from one instance to another, so I couldn't tell you what caused the different outcome.

It shows visual feedback for some questions, such as "How deep is the ocean". I'll add an explanation on the page in the next release since you are not the only one who has asked about this.

Hi,
Which phone and watch do you have? I know it does not show up in the iPhone Galaxy Apps because they do not list paid apps there .
If you have an S3 or Sport can you verify that you have the Tizen 4.0 update applied?
Also could you let me know what country you are in, and what country your account is registered to? I've enabled it for everywhere except China, but I've had someone from Costa Rica that was not able to find it either.
I'm still trying to find my way around the Samsung store.
Regards,
Damian

Is Alexa or your app able to write and send messages using voice recognition ? It's a pain with "period" and punctuation signs in S-Voice ...
Which languages are supported ?
Thanks for your work anyway.

AFAIK you can't use Alexa to write and send voice messages ... the app doesn't "know" anything about your Watch or Phone ... it just provides Alexa functionality (general questions, home device control etc.). It should support any language that Alexa supports .. the language it uses depends on the Amazon account you use to sign up. Definitely English, German and Itialian .... but all should work (if Amazon Alexa supports them).

Will this be possible in future updates??

I love it ! Are you able change the voice output on app ? I.E. Different voices ? The current sometimes is a little low and hard to understand. Thank you and amazing job !
