Hey guys,
I have already checked current and past posts about my issue and have not found anything.
Okay here's my issue.
I have a Stock S8, Oreo.
When I receive notifications of SMS/Text, I click on it, and it still brings me to Samsung Messenger, however it tells me that Samsung Messenger is not the default app.
I can manually get to Android Messages and the Messages are there, but upon notification, it still brings me to Samsung Messenger.
I find the stock messaging app to not be friendly.
Since I'm stock, is there anyway I can Forcefully disable Samsung Messaging, or force apps to redirect to Android Messenger for default?

There are a lot of reports of missing voicemail notifications on Nexus 5. I think I've read them all on this forum & some others including CyanogenMod threads about the Nexus 5. My specific problem:
On my Nexus 5, Voicemail SMS messages are being received from my carrier (O2 Ireland), appearing properly as unread SMS in my default messaging application (Handcent).
Every time they do, there is no notification icon in the drawer and no notification tone.
In my attempts to fix the problem:
I had this problem on stock KitKat when the phone was new with the 4.4.2 release, up through the 4.4.4 OTA upgrade, and continued to have the problem after installing CyanogenMod 11 with both the M10 and M11 releases.
I have disabled notifications in both Google Hangouts and the default SMS app ("Messaging").
Switching between Handcent and Messaging as my SMS app has no effect on the problem.
Using Google Hangouts as my SMS app is not an option for me, and Google Voice won't work with my phone number which is outside North America.
I have tried setting "Reminders" for unread SMS in Handcent, but it does not send reminders for notifications that never happen in the first place.
My current workaround, which is a poor one especially because it relies on keeping the phone display active all the time, is to use the Handcent Widget on my home screen which always displays the number of unread messages. At least this way I can see when the Voicemail text arrives, with an unread message count on the Handcent icon.
I am hoping to find any of the following:
Why the phone software (Android and/or its applications) gets the voicemail SMS but suppresses the notification
An APK or Market application that I can use to work around the problem
A software patch for this problem, or even a different ROM that has the problem fixed
One thing I have not tried is eradicating Hangouts from the phone. I wanted to start this thread first to see if there's a better way. If there's no suggested alternative, I'll try this and then post the result.
removed Google Hangouts, still nothing
More information: I have removed all the updates relating to Google Hangouts, rolled it back to the factory version, and removed the APK. Testing it at every step showed no change to the voice mail problem. So Google Hangouts may not be "stealing" the notifications but it doesn't mean the phone isn't hard-wired to deliver them to Hangouts or Google Voice.
I am following up with my carrier on this thread to see if there is a way of fixing this problem at the service level; it can be found by searching the O2 Ireland Community Forums for Nexus 5: no voicemail SMS notification (I can't post the link here).
Also, I am surprised not to have had a response at all from the community here. I have always believed xda-developers was a resource for developers at any level, even those like me who are at the first stage of trying to learn how the phone works. Even a tip about how phone notifications are delivered, and what might be getting in the way of them here, would be a help.
Handcent no voicemail notifications on Nexus 5
Problem was eventually solved by installing Chomp SMS. After seeing the same problem on both Handcent and the stock messaging app I had decided it wasn't likely to be an application problem: in hindsight, that was wrong. Nexus 5 appears different than other phones in that each incoming SMS from the Voicemail number replaces the last one. That tends to make the messaging app not issue a notification... but Chomp SMS must work differently since it isn't subject to that problem.
While still on Handcent I found the workaround of deleting the Voicemail message thread or last & only Voicemail SMS after every Voicemail notification. That forced the next one to be treated as "new" and triggered a notification every time. Today I wouldn't wish that workaround on anyone but the Handcent developers.
BTW in last few months of experimentation SlimKat has turned out to be a better choice for the Nexus 5 than CyanogenMod.

In the Gear App, on the phone, under Settings, which apps are turned on for Notifications? Is the Messenger app in the list?
Have you reset the watch recently?

Hello all,
I'm using a Samsung Gear S2 Classic on a Huawei Honor 6 phone, which is compatible, and since I've been using it (2 days) I've never recieved once a text message notification on it, or email. I recieve facebook messenger push notifications, so I can reply to the messages, but no way of going back to the application.
The real problem is that in the Tizen app menu, there is no "Messages" application, nor email for that matter. It's like they don't exist, they were deleted in the OS. But I know that they are there because I've seen the icons on video reviews on youtube. It's extremely frustrating to not recieve text notifications, it makes the watch useless. I've factory resetted twice, played with the options, sent hundreds of text with my phone in vibrate mode, silent mode, screen on, screen off, mixing combinations, but nothing works. I've tried looking on internet for this particular problem of notifications not working but have had no success in finding a fix.
This morning at work I factory resetted the Samsung Gear S2 once more and connected it to a friend's Samsung Galaxy S6, and when everything was synchronised I was shocked to see in the app menu on the watch the Messages and Email apps. I couldn't believe it ! So there must be some sort of compatibily issue with non-samsung (or non-galaxy ?) phones.
I've now synchronised it back to my Honor 6, the Messages app has dissapeard... furthermore I'm not recieving any notifications at all (no push notifications from FB messenger for example).
I don't know what to do, am I supposed to wait for an update ? Will there ever be one ? Are there any hopes ? Should I return my watch to amazon for a full refund ?
Thank you for your feedback.
PS : I imagine that this could be a smart move for non Galaxy users to oblige them in buying new Samsung Galaxy phones... but I would like to keep my android phone for another year at least.
Is the messaging app selected in Gear Manager to forward notifications? Email app?

Are you talking about Notification --> Manage Notifications --> select "Honor 6 internal messaging application" ?
I have selected Phone, and there is no messaging app in the list, which is weird. I think it's included in "Phone" App, since it's the same thing when you open Messages and Phone app on phone, just a different tab inside the application itself.
Here is a video showing the default messaging app on Honor 6 [Here is the video : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxiirboGxLnUUHllcW5tN1k3d0k/view?usp=sharing].
Both messaging and e-mail on the Gear are reliant on the corresponding Samsung (not Google, not third party) stock apps on the phone. It makes sense to disable them on the Gear when paired with non-Samsung phones. Third party apps that don't have corresponding apps designed for the Gear are managed through notifications - that includes messaging and e-mail.

Thanks for the response. However I have returned the watch, I'll wait probably another year to buy a smartwatch at a cheaper price and better compatibility. It's taken too much of my time already to configure and I've had enough of factory resets
I gave back my Samsung Gear S2 and got a moto 360 2nd gen : it's a completely different world, the moto 360 is 100 times better imho and fully compatibly. HAIL GOOGLE.
I own a xiaomi 9 lite. With MIUI 11 android 10 everything went well. I received all the notifications messages viber whatsapp etc. After receiving MIUI 12 I cannot receive messages from Google messages program, viber, facebook, whatsapp, messenger. Really frustrated. I can receive from other programs though. I have done everything no battery optimization from MIUI I have given all the rights. I have resetet my watch. Uninstall and install galaxy programs. Nothing. Can I do something else or need to wait for a fix from xiaomi.?
Hi,
got the same phone and the same watch. I didn't check all apps, but I didn't notice any difference on the ones I use most (Whatsapp, BeerWithMe, etc.). I'm on latest Xaiomi.eu ROM, which one are you using?
Hi,
I have the latest global miui 12.0.2.0 CFCMIXM. I managed to install a third party sms program with which I can receive sms messages and see them on the s3. I cannot receive on the s3 from viber, whatsapp, messanger, facebook. Before the update I received all of the shoves. Thanks for helping me
did anything ever come of this? I have Miui Global 12.0.2 (QJGEUXM) and a Pebble watch. notifications were working for about a day, and now nothing. When I installed a 3rd party pebble notification app, it tells me that the Notification Service isn't running, but in permissions it is all allowed, and there are no power saving rules in place.

I factory reseted the phone and the galaxy s3 frontier. But in general I think that I didn't give the right permissions to viber for instance. I chose for example not to receive a full message on my watch just the sender name and because of that the notification could not be sent to the watch. Now everything works like a charm.
I hope that you will find a solution
i use a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier with 4.0.0.7 Tizen paired with a Poco F1 Global QEJMIXM with Miui 12.0.2 stock rom (i'm a Mi Pilot member so i had 12.0.3 and 12.0.1 too) with full working notification for all app i selected. Make sure you have installed Galaxy Wearable app with Gear Plugin, setup Notification Access to Plugin in order to have notification, set all needed permission to plugin, lock Galaxy wear app in background, remove battery limitation to both wear app and plugins, set autostart to both app, open wearable app and under notification click See All and select needed notification. i have phone call and sms, facebook messenger, whatsapp, telegram, calendar, clock, reminder, gmail, outlook without problems...
Anyone got any tips on getting message notifications on the GW4? I am using it with a Pixel 4a5g. I currently have loaded the updated Google messages app on phone and watch. I have enabled notifications everywhere I can find for the app. I can open the watch app and read all my messages, but I can't get any watch notifications. On my GWA2, using Next, I was able to get the notifications and the message would pop up on my watch and let me read it. On the GW4 I have to open the app to read it. I am also open to any other messaging apps that others have found that work.
Update, I did get Next SMS to work, but I wonder if anyone has had any luck with VZW messages or Google messages?
You have to make Google Messages to the default text message app on phone to get notifications from it, and you can only use Google Messages for writing SMS after that.
The first thing I did was make Google Messages the default SMS... as a matter of fact, you can't even bring it up on the phone unless you do that. I know Google is just starting to roll out a new version of messages for using with watches, I don't know how to tell if I have that version or what that version number is, so I guess I will use Next for awhile longer and see.
This feels like a Gear app permissions issue. Check that the gear app on your Phone has permissions to read messages. Also it might be under device admin setting or something like that
I assume you mean the Galaxy Wear app, it does have SMS permissions enabled (actually all permissions enabled).
Note, as I said above, it works like a champ with Next SMS, so I think everything is enabled that needs to be. The difference would have to be with the messaging app itself.
You can also check settings on the watch itself. Settings/Applications/Permissions then scroll to Messages and allow everything one by one.
