The person we want to help has a Note 3 kitkat 4.4.2 and gear S not sure his carrier@Tahde is helping
[Samsung Gear S] Akram.:
"Show on Device"

Paired to Samsung S4 Mini.

I have seperate SIM on gear. Some messasges in Gear the "Show on Device" is greyed out. Why?

As per manual:

Viewing incoming messages On the All apps screen, tap Messages and select a contact to open the message screen. To zoom in on the screen while viewing a message, double-tap the screen or spread your fingers apart on the screen. To view a message on the mobile device, tap . Alternatively, tap → Show on device. To reply to a message, tap or tap → Reply, enter your message, and then tap . You may not be able to compose emails depending on the mobile device that you connect to the Gear.

wWhy is it greyed out. I have marked notification for Messages "ticked"
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
What messages are you talking about EMAIL, SMS, 3RD party things:confused: and who is your carrier for your S4 Mini

any pictures we can see?
[Samsung Gear S] Tahde:
I'm unsure. Waiting to hear back from him. But if he does, and someone has posted a 4.4.4 stock rom on his variant. I have this feeling that's all he'll need. He'll be moving along if this is the case.

My bride has a N3 and S5 both completely stock. I'll ask her this afternoon if I can root. She's about to get the Edge anyway and her N3 will be her backup. Don't think she'll mind. Fingers crossed. And I can mess with it. Lol [emoji1] Would pull mines out the box, but I want to be connected to network.

Agreed so [MENTION=6144365]pdqgp[/MENTION] Go Root your device( or not if you have) make a backup in TWRP flash a stock 4.4.4 rom for your Note 3 and let us know how it went/ if not then you could wait for your carrier to maybe address the issue

You may not be able to compose emails depending on the mobile device that you connect to the Gear. per [MENTION=433066]Akram[/MENTION]'s manual (whatever carrier he has)
[Samsung Gear S] Akram.:
Its SMS.

My Carrier on Gear is "etisalat". On S4 Mini its "etisalat" but different No.

If you go to Messages in Gear S, you have an option "Show on Device", but it's greyed out.

I have disabled "Send messages and Call" through mobile number from Gear, means if i message or call from Gear, it will only go from Gear.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
ok others will have to chime in I personally have not heard of that carrier. With that said I know you have to use stock messenger for the GS the 3rd party messengers you can see/read but can not respond. My gear shows everything no grey out so someone else will help you shortly.
[Samsung Gear S] Akram.:
Its the stock messaging app
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
ok **throws hands up ** Idk:( it is hard for me to duplicate a problem that I don't have

Someone will help you I am sure
[Samsung Gear S] Akram.:
Thats the picture attached. Show on device is greyed out.

Is this option enabled in yours? Are yiu able to view on mobile abd reply from mobile and pass through gear number?
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Everything is fine for me I can hit button to show on device I can send and receive fine no grey outs for me no matter Bluetooth/wifi/gear mode only

Are you connected remotely to the phone? I attached an image of what you should see on the watch when you swype down from your home clock screen, in order to see if you are connected.

OK. Now how did you get that screen shot? Lol

Sent from my SM-N910P
[Samsung Gear S] Akram.:
No. Remote connection is turned off. How can gear turn on both wifi and Bt at same time. I think you need wifi for remote connection but then again it should connect to phone as well via Bt
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
I see maybe you can up date to 4.3 or higher it may appear then

But the little phone icon on the left top tells me the sms is received to phone correct? Mine has a watch icon.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Let me try to say this this way. My Gear S is connected to my Note 4. I have not used Gear S as a standalone I e watch only gear only mode at this point. When I decide to use the watch without my phone Standalone I will let you know about the message if mine is greyed out

Email is not going to work either... Google released the new messenger in the play store today. This stupid watch is still telling me to use the default messenger app. Only way i see things working properly is 5.0 lollipop.

[Samsung Gear S] Tahde:
Odd. I have the N4 Sprint variant that I tested this email problem on. I can can actually compose and send. Are you using gmail for your exchange email (stock email app)? If so, try another email like hotmail, yahoo ect.

To the OP. Could you edit your first thread for members with issues to also post their provider, phone device, which variant of GS they have and which android version they are running? I think this may help find out what can be done.

I just posted an app for replying to hangouts and GMail.

[Samsung Gear S] BKO Overdrive:
I just want my remote connection to work -_-

The only way i am able to get a remote connection successfully is if my phone is on wifi and my watch is on wifi, i left my phone at my house on wifi, walked to my neighbors house and we sent messages to my phone and i got them on my watch. I noticed i successfully get a "Remote connection" notification on my watch, however if I'm using mobile data and blue tooth gets disconnected i will not have a "remote connection" notification on my gear and if someone calls it will take almost 10 mins before i say i got a missed call on my watch, i get a phone icon that lets me try to retrieve my missed call but it keeps failing and i get a phone icon with a small yellow "!". Ive tried resintalling gear app, ive wiped the watch plenty of times i have all the latest updates on both devices. Im starting to think it has something to do with ATT. As the remote connection always works if both are on wifi no matter where they are, which is removing the att network connection all together. The app is working by sending me data once wifi is connected. I have a Note 3 4.4.2. Seems ill look for a rom that has 4.4.4
[Samsung Gear S] pdqgp:
combing through things on an iPad I can't tell, but did we ever get a link to a .apk for the latest email app for a Note 3 to install one that works with the Gear S thus allowing replies a possibility?
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
I'm being told my email app on my phone is preventing me from composing emails on my watch. I have a sprint s5
[Samsung Gear S] dpeagle:
i posted this work around in another thread for people having trouble replying and composing emails. you can always just use the opera mini browser. just bookmark your email account (mine is gmail) and access all the email functionality their. i hope this helps some of you.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
That will be my fallback position if there are problems with Gmail notifications getting to the watch. Can Opera mini display gmail in desktop mode?
[Samsung Gear S] marinefighter:
OK ladies and gents,

I received my note edge, fired up gear manager and walla,,,,,I can now reply to messages from the stock app. I'm happy as a pig in crap. Nothing to configure.

It is a crying shame I could not do this with my note 3. Shame on you Samsdumb

To Tahde and Barbie. Appreciate the time you spent helping.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
We are glad it works for you (even if you had to use the edge to do it ;))

What color did you get Tahdes wife should have her edge by now
[Samsung Gear S] marinefighter:
Not my bride lol.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
:

:laugh: I upgraded her lol hope he doesn't mind
[Samsung Gear S] Tahde:
Yall got jokes. Lol

I got her phone yesterday. Shes all smiles. Lol

So for another comfirmation. I tested my GS on her Note Edge. Everything worked as I had assumed. More specifically, composing email within GS. Connected back to S5 and she now has her Gear 2 running on her Edge.

My experience, either TW needs to be updated, 4.4.4 needs to be had or if there is a single update to Samsung and their email application. Im still leaning more towards 4.4.4 as Im able to compose connected to my Note 4 and the Note Edge.

And glad your up and running right Marine. Great news!

Sent from my SM-T807P
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Just having a little funny :D I agree I think it's that 4.4.4 also
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
I need some clarification. To get pushed Gmail to the GS: link with Bluetooth GS and phone.

Samsung gear manager--> settings-->Manage Applications-->email click gear icon--> add accounts* and add my Gmail account? Shut down bluetooth on both and wait for emails to appear on the GS?
[Samsung Gear S] marinefighter:
What huh oh I'm sorry I abandoned you guys over @ note edge forum lol :p
[Samsung Gear S] Tahde:
Waiting for Sprint section. Lol. Emails still coming through fine?

Update: I now have KK 4.4.4 installed on my S5. I can now compose email on my GS. Exactly as I suspected. So sounds like if you have any of the newer Samsung models running 4.4.4, you should be good to go on composing from GS.

No udate pushed thru yet to my phone. Says I have to wait 24 hours to check again.
[Samsung Gear S] pdqgp:
It lets me reply on most all but exchange because our IT Has that locked down. However, I can't go to a contact and click on their email addy and create one fresh. I even switched my default account on my phone to be my Yahoo Account. The Gs still tells me that composing an email using this application is not supported by my mobile device.

AT&T? Try again in 24hrs. Maybe they are doing a slow-roll.
[Samsung Gear S] marinefighter:
Yep. I just returned my note edge and brought a note 4.

It is a great phone but with so many years carrying a holster from the Seidio Brand (Platinum Best Buy) I just could not get used to carrying anything in my trousers. \

I was going to replace it with another edge since my had stuttering issues but they did not have any black ones. So I went with the Note 4 and have my holster YAY

The smucks at AT&T store charged me a restocking fee of $35.00 because I switched phones!!! WTF They did not have a replacement in stock so I should suffer. I will call them and have that refunded to me.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
You should not have to pay that fee if they could not replace your defective phone.
[Samsung Gear S] Mike61704:
I'm on sprint and have the Note 3 with 4.4.4 installed. Have the gear s. I use the default Samsung email app to send and receive emails but there is not an option for compose when I swipe down on the gear. I Have the current nj7 update for the gear s, tried to reset the gear, tried uninstalling the gear manager with no luck. I can reply but cannot compose. Is it the compatibility with the note 3 that's preventing me from composing on the gear? Any ideas?
[Samsung Gear S] gregory75:
I believe that it is related to the way the framework works on 4.4.4 on different samsung models

I have a Galaxy S3 that was collecting dust and i decided to do some tests. This is what i got:

1. Stock Rom 4.3 >>> no compose and no reply from Gear S.

2. S4 TouchWiz 4.4.2 Rom on S3 >>> no compose, but able to reply from watch.

3. S5 Mini TouchWiz 4.4.4 on S3 >>> same as above.

4. Note 4 TouchWiz 4.4.4 on S3 >>> compose and reply from Gear S.

As you can see, even that S5 mini Rom is 4.4.4, i wasn't able to compose emails, but i was able from Note 4 Rom.

I hope that helps understanding why some people can and why others can't compose emails from Gear S.

Greg
[Samsung Gear S] pdqgp:
Same exact situation on my Note 3.

Thanks Greg. I'm not too, too concerned anymore since I can at least reply to emails. I am hopeful however, that Lollipop will fix this.
[Samsung Gear S] Mike61704:
I Believe the issue is the default Samsung email app on the Note 3. The Samsung email app on the Note 4 is a newer version. If only they updated the email app, I think it would allow us to compose new emails. Its not a big deal since i can reply too, but would be nice to have all the functionality of the gear.
[Samsung Gear S] pdqgp:
I agree completely. Hopefully the upgrade to lollipop will fix this by upgrading our email client.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
Finally got gmails pushed to the watch. Am I correct that with the phone off, no notifications get funneled through the Samsung network?
[Samsung Gear S] pdqgp:
I believe so. When your phone is off it doesn't get notifications thus it can't forward them to your Gear S.

Through all the trees I can't see the forest .....

We have a saying in Holland which goes like....Through all the trees I can't see the forest ..... there are so many responds regarding sms via the Gear S that I can´t find a similar question or perhaps the answer already given so here is my questions .... :D

I just tried to send an SMS with my gear S but it can´t be send. Are there any settings I need to adjust to do so?

I know when you enter a new simcard in a mobile you do get an sms from your provider with all settings for sending an sms but on the gear I haven't received anything..

thanks for helping me out.

[Samsung Gear S] AFourg:
Did you have GoSMS working on your Gear S, if so how?
