I have been using the Samsung Messages (SMS) app on my Gear S3 with my Note 9 for years.
Suddenly, notifications sent to the watch from the app stopped.
I tried restarting both, cycling the notification button in the Wearable app and combinations of both actions.
No joy.
The Google SMS and Verizon SMS apps each send notifications to the watch.
The same thing happened at the same time on the Gear Sport that is also connected to my Note 9.
I'd rather not reset the watch, but understand that I may have to, but why only one app notification fail?

I have a Gear with ATN installed.
What do i need to install to get samsung gear notificatioins reguadless of if the screen is on or off?
i have ATN installed and only get Get SMS notifications when my note 3 is in sleep mode....
i am looking to have every text show up on my samsung gear reguardless if the the note 3 is in regular or speep mode.
it is there a setting or app that will get the my gear to not skip displaying SMS when the phone screen is on?
I also don't receive any notifications on my gear when an SMS comes in. I have ATN - everything seems to work except for text. any ideas? Thanks.
I think I found the solution
For those still having some issues with galaxy gear... I think I found the definitive solution. You'll recall that Google hangout now handles text messages on Android... If you have enabled this feature., then that's the problem for the gear text notification.
Not that it will not work, but you'll need to enable notification for hangout in order to receive text notifications on the gear.
Problem solved... Another happy customer!
I don't what caused it, but every other app selected in Gear Manager for notifications is pushing them to my Gear 2, just not the default sms text "Messages" app. This default app isn't even showing up in the Gear Manager notifications selection screen where you choose which apps to push notifications from. I tried wiping the caches for the Messages app, Gear Manager and Gear Host, I also tried restarting both the Gear 2 and my Note 3 to see if that would help and it hasn't. Does anybody know what I can do to get my Messages app to push notifications to the Gear 2 again?
I get notifications from text that I receive on the Gear s2, and can respond to the message, when it is on the notification screen. However, when I go to the messaging app to reply again or find an old message the do not show up. Only the message that I originate in the messaging app stay on the Gear S 2, does anyone know of a way that these message will stay from the notification screen to the installed messaging app?
What phone are you synced with? I had to "dump" phone messages to s2, and then clear the unread counts. Works fine now. Sometimes a delay between showing up on both devices if using gear s2 away from phone...
I'm on s6 edge.
Which messaging app do you use? Mine was not working and then I performed a factory reset. After paring it, the messaging app was working from that point on, but only using the Samsung messaging app. When I switched to Textra as my default messaging app nothing ever gets recorded in the messaging app, which makes sense I guess if the messaging app is only compatible with the Samsung messaging app. I think this is silly because any messaging app should work with it but I am sure it's not that easy. Textra would have to make an app for the S2. I can only respond to the text and need to check my Note 4 if I want to see the conversations.
Yesterday i realized that my gear s2 classic is not showing me notifications from whatsapp.... I had an update to the watch few days ago but im not sure if it's related.
I checked the notifications settings on the gear app and the whatsapp is checked.
Any one?
What phone do you have? sometimes, depending on the phone model, notifications can take a while to show up..
Or maybe you don't check notifications permiss of samsung gear app..
