Agreed. This won't work without Android Wear anyways, and eventually someone posted that it works without the app, which is why I think the Developer abandoned this app. I know I have tried to reach out to him a couple times, and no response. It looks like he is still active in other forums though, so to me he just doesn't care about this anymore.
[Samsung Gear S] aplacetorest:
I downloaded Android wear and it won't work

Is this still being updated?

This APP don´t available in Brazilian Play Store

Hi,

I tried this APP and I want to buy.

But when I click on the APP link to buy in the Play Store this message appears

"Sorry. This content is not yet available for your country"

How I can buy this APP.

Can I buy by PayPal or other way?

I'm willing to give it a shot. My Gear S doesn't receive any third party app notifications. Did for one day and has since stopped altogether. Only gets notifications of calls, sms and email. Doesn't work with gmail. whatsapp, BBM or anything else

I have T-Mobile Note 4 and Gear S and willing to be test subject
[Samsung Gear S] xboxhacka:
Any updates?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I'm sending tests to specific people, still trying to narrow down what the issue is or at least just how isolated it is. So far no one else has suffered the issue.

If no one else reports the issue soon, I will post the app back up here, just with an even bigger warning.

In the meantime I am continuing to expand and clean up the app.
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I am waiting for this app impatiently. There's one more similar app for Gear S but it is not good for Hangouts.

Please post the app soon.

Thx.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Well we do seem to be narrowing it down to TMobile devices, though not positive yet. Another volunteer with TMobile had the same issue, however was able to stop the app without having to reset Gear.

BTW What app are you referring to?
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
"Notifications for Gear S"

is the name...
[Samsung Gear S] DXL007:
Where did you find that app?
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
on google play store
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I sent you a PM with something to try if you are interested in continuing to help figure this issue out.

If not I totally understand.
[Samsung Gear S] d0ntp4n1c:
Hope this gets posted back up soon. Just got a gear s in today and use hangouts exclusively :( Looking forward to giving it a try :D Nice to see a dev taking quick action though.

Att gear S with Verizon S5.
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
hey, I am ready to take the risk. Please share the app soon...
[Samsung Gear S] d0ntp4n1c:
Maybe put the link back up with bright red text notifier of the problem/risk? IDK I could see why OP would be hesitent though. I wouldn't want anyone bricking something because of what I wrote...then again. Use at your own risk.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I've sent a debug version to a couple people who have experienced the issue. I'm hoping they will report back soon and maybe that will give my some insight.

One way or the other will post an updated version soon. Right now it's looking like it's some flavor of the Note 4. I've had people report the issue on ATT and TMobile, and at least one say it works fine on a note 4 on Sprint. Either that or it is just some other app that is running.

If we don't identify soon I will post updated version in the hopes we can narrow it down. I'm sure if I had an offending device i my hand I could fix in a heartbeat, but debugging these things blind is hard.

In the meantime I have clean up quite a lot of stuff and added some cool features.
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
well, actually I might be of some help to you. Because I live in Turkey and we have a specific version of Note 4 here. It is called "la fleur" . I don't know the difference with the generic Note 4 but maybe we could see if your app causes any issues on it.
[Samsung Gear S] d0ntp4n1c:
Nice, now I am even more excited to try it. So far everything I wanted this thing for I can't use lol. Was going to break down and try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pacosal.gear.notificationsgears today but it jumped from 1.50 to 200$ overnight. Maybe that dev found a similar bug and changed the price.? No clue how selling apps on Play works...
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Could be or could be he meant to make it 2.00 and typed it wrong.
[Samsung Gear S] Geletis:
Google Voice?

Will this allow replies to Google Voice text messages?

The standard Gear S notifications allows Google Voice notifications to be sent, but they cannot be replied to.

(I realize Hangouts is supported, but Hangouts still doesn't offer many of the features of Google Voice, it's a real downgrade.)
[Samsung Gear S] d0ntp4n1c:
I thought voice went through hangouts?:confused: On my phone if someone sends a text to my voice number it shows up in hangouts.
[Samsung Gear S] Geletis:
Voice can go through Hangouts, but doing that loses a lot of features.

Thankfully, Google doesn't require Voice users to use Hangouts, it's completely optional. Hangouts users can even migrate back to Voice at any time.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I honestly have no idea. If it works properly with Android Wearables then it should work ok with this app.
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
The dev did that on purpose. He has it in the Samsung store for sale, but for some reason didn't/couldn't have it in the Play store as well, so he priced it in the Play store high intentionally so people wouldn't purchase it there but others that already have will still be able to get updates and support.

Hope that clears it up (I tent to mess up words in otherwise easily explained situations lol).
[Samsung Gear S] d0ntp4n1c:
This is what I figured but 200 seemed like such an odd price. I could still see some fool with to much money buying it lol. I actually picked it up on the samsung store last night and I wasn't impressed to be honest. I really wish samsung had a review system. I was really shocked to see they didn't. The artwork design is REALLY bad (think early 90s) and the whole setup rarely works for me. It was working for a bit after the third install attempt but since then its been tits up. If the dev is reading this, not a personal attack against you just providing feedback : /
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
He very well may be reading this, and I am sure he is taking it as constructive input. He seems very open to suggestions/criticisms. He is continuing to work on it and I wouldn't be shocked if it totally changes a couple times before he is done (if a dev ever REALLY completes an app, they always need tweaking lol). I haven't purchased his yet, I want to see how this one turns out first....although I may just to support him, we need devs with open/good attitudes like that guy and gottahavit!! :good:

P.S. If there is anyone out there with that much money to throw around for an app I need to get the tizen programming to work on my computer and pump out a couple LMAO
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I seem to have lost my testers who were helping me debug this, so I will be reposting the app later today, with some Testing/Debuging options as well as what I hope will detect the issue if it happens and shut down the app.
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
Be happy to help if I can!!
[Samsung Gear S] d0ntp4n1c:
Glad to hear it. Didn't want to come off as too aggressive. Just a little frustrating paying for something I can't even use. I appreciate how gottahaveit is approaching it. I have no problem paying a reasonable price for a product as long as it works.

Can't wait. About to install your basic video player now!
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
App is back up, anyone who experiences the lock up issue or preferably see the issue in Debug mode first, please follow the instruction on the main page about capturing as much information as possible.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Updated and have to say I really like it. Seems more responsive. I noticed that you can delete emails from Gmail too. I'll gladly pay for this once it hits the Samsung App store. Thanks for what you bring to the Gear S community.

I do have one request so far.. Is there a way to populate more information into a Gmail notification? I believe right now it only reads the email title. How hard would it be to actually populate the whole email so that we can read it from the watch?

I'm on a Sprint Note 4 paired with an AT&T Gear S. No issues so far. Will update if there are any.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
it should have the whole email.. IF it's the only gmail notification you have in the status bar. otherwise you get something like "2 email messages" and maybe the names of each. If you are not seeing this, can you share a screen shot of the notification on your android, and what you see on your gear?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Let me try it out. How do I take a screen shot on my Gear S?

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Ok. Had a couple emails come through, and you're right. They do show the whole email. I must of missed that. Thanks for this great app. It really does make the Gear S a whole new watch.
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
I had the issue with the new version now.

The screen of Gear S is looping between a white screen and the watch then black.

What action should I take ?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Did you try the debug window? Does it sit there and dump lots of entries? if so can you send me a screen shot of the debug window? Do you know what notification triggered it?

So after a minute of doing that it didn't stop and put up a notification on the phone that it was getting too many notifications?

assuming you've uninstalled the app and or reset your watch at this point. Try following the debug steps on the first page and see if you can capture a screen of what it's doing.

Also what devices do you have?
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
Well I first tried debug window. It was normal. Only 1 notification shown. From hangouts.

Then i closed debug and enabled only hangouts.

Only 1 notification came from hangouts and it began loop.

I dont have a screenshot but if you tell me exactly what you want (prior to screenshot) i can reinstall and retry.

I am using gear s with galaxy s5.

I use it in Turkish maybe turkish characters are the problem ?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
ok that's interesting, that implies there is something in the notification causing this. Let me send you a small sample app from samsung that sends some sample notification to the watch using the same mechanism. it could be the language, I can probably give that a shot here today too.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
So I don't have turkish set up but I switch to japanese on my phone(which then switched it on my gear), sent some hangouts, didn't seem to have a problem. Some of the actions show in english, but no issue with looping.

Try that app I sent you see what happens, otherwise if you're willing can you re-install, leave in debug and take a screen shot of the notification you got on the phone and the entry in the debug window.

you could try switching to english and see if it makes a difference, I have my doubts.
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
I tried the small app but it doesn't send anything . I mean nothing received on gear S.

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

sorry. that is wrong.

after the reset I forgot to change my notification settings. after enabling them, now I receive notifications from that small app.

no issues with that app.
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
I added screenshots as attachment.

You can see the notification on top of the image. and debug window below

I also included the screenshot from my Pc (source) showing what I sent to the phone.
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
I tested the new app. Please see my PM. There is no content in messages...
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
We're making progress, at least it doesn't crash anymore. Sent another test
[Samsung Gear S] Jstylen:
Having the looping / flashing screen issue on my galaxy gear S. Installed the app and enabled hangouts. First message I got borked the watch. Pulled up the debugging screen but it was blank. Watch continued to flash even when not paired to my phone (s5). Factory reset fixed the watch, haven't tried the app again as I expect the same result.

Looks like all this has been mentioned in other posts, thought it couldn't hurt to share my experience though.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help :)
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I think we're close to identifying the issue. Stay tuned..

out of curiosity do you have the Avatar preference on? If so and you're up for it, try with it turned off.
[Samsung Gear S] Jstylen:
I did have the avatar setting on. I set the app up again and turned that off. Working great so far.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Ok that confirms the issue then. That's great thanks. I'll add a note to the OP that should stop others from having the issue. Just need to work out a couple other display issue one tester is having and I will post an update.

Basically I attempt to not only use the avatar as a background but also as an icon on the list. I believe for some reason that image is causing issues for the watch for some people.

At least we are finally getting somewhere with this.

[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
If you have more than one notification from the app do you see any text in the list view of the notifications? Im beginning to think the text isnt getting there at all
[Samsung Gear S] mrmrmrmr:
no; I don't see.

but original hangouts notifications have text in them.

also, as I wrote in the PM, I am using multiple google account on my phone.

it applies to both gmail and hangouts. could it be a reason for content not showing up ?

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Installed on Tmobile Note 4 and Gear S. So far everything is working exactly as it should, no lockups, notifications being received (only GMail at the moment - don't use Hangouts much).
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Good to know, yeah it looks like we have the lockup issue resolved. It was a stupid mistake, but also very poor error handling by Samsung. TO think that sending an image that's too large for an icon would cause the phone to go crazy. Jeez.
[Samsung Gear S] rmont23:
so we can download the apk now? I have a sprint Gear S.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
The app is there to download, there may still be bugs, but I believe I have worked out the watch lockup issue, but this is still fresh so anything is possible. Use at your own risk as usual.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
So today an issue came up with the app. My calls were not being sent to my watch. When my Note 4 rang, my watch would not ring. I uninstalled the app and calls were going through to the watch again. Reinstalled the app and phone calls would only ring on my Note 4 and not the watch again. I tried the debug potion of the app, but when I sent a phone call to my phone, nothing populated in the box. Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Oh forgot to mention, this only started happening after your 12/6 update. Do you have a previous version I could roll back to, to test out?

I wont be near a computer until tomorrow night sorry. That is amazing. Any chance its a google voice call? That really shouldnt be possible but i believe you. Will try myself in a bit
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
That's fine. All other notifications work for me other than not being able to answer a call on my watch.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I just tried worked ok for me. Are other notifications in gear manager working? Try this . Install my app got to the enable notifications screen. Uncheck gear manager and then recheck it.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Tried that. My watch won't ring simultaneously with the phone when receiving a call. I'll reset my watch later this evening and get back to you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thanks for what you do.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
So tonight I uninstalled everything. (Gear Manager and Gear Notification Extender). Reinstalled Gear Manager and your app. Now everything works. Weird.. Maybe Gear Manager was the issue?
[Samsung Gear S] sweets55:
I read the thread and this might be a stupid question but is this the same thing as Notifications for Gear S?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Different app from another person. I've used both and personally think this app is more refined than the other.
[Samsung Gear S] dallastx:
Great job. Proably not but might as well ask.. Anyway to rspond to facebook messages? I can't believe samsung and facebook have not worked this out.
[Samsung Gear S] dosomethinggreat:
Looks Awesome!

I wanted to use this as a way to get better txt notifications. The Handcent notifications look awesome with the persons icon in the back ground. Is there a way to make it so you can reply to txt's using Handcent instead of the crappy native txt messenger app directly from the watch?

Also the watch txts from handcent will suddenly disappear when your app has the "Dismiss watch notifications" selected. Could it be the popup function in Handcent is causing an early dismissal of the watch notifications?

I love that I can actually reply to Gmails from the watch! You rock for this functionality!

I will be purchasing this when it comes out for sure. I am sure it will only get better over time!
[Samsung Gear S] MrAwesome75:
I just installed and it's working great so far. All I need is hangouts because I am able to use the native email app on my Note 4. Super easy to set up.

I would gladly pay and give you a high rating once it's on the play store.
[Samsung Gear S] Jstylen:
I saw your PM but kept forgetting to try it. Switched avatars back on a few hours ago and no crashing so far. Looks like you did fix it, yay!

edit: Holy cow there's 2 pages of post since you sent that PM O_O
[Samsung Gear S] Geletis:
Can you make it possible to reply to text messages sent through Google voice? When Google Voice is checked within your app, the notifications do come through, but as with Samsung's notifications, there's no way to reply to GV text messages from the watch.

Adding that single feature would give a huge number of Gear S users a reason to buy your app. It would solve one of the largest deficiencies of the Gear S, this being the difficulty in responding to text messages from the Gear S while having those messages appear to have been sent from the phone's number.

Google Voice can do this right now, but poorly. It can be done by forwarding all GV texts to the actual phone number of the watch (received as an actual SMS). The issue is that these messages will only be received when mobile data to the Gear S is on. If mobile data is kept on at all times, it can be a real battery drainer.

Creating a way to reply to Google Voice's form of text messaging from the watch would solve a big issue for many Gear S users. With that single feature, this could become a must-buy product for a whole lot of Gear S owners. It would be the best way to have unified number support. Once other Gear owners realized the potential, many of them might start using Google Voice and your app just to get a unified, single number functionality across both the watch and phone.

(Hangouts really doesn't achieve this well as Hangouts removes much of Google Voice's functionality.)

BTW, the app seems to be running fine on my Note 4.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I didn't actually think the phone connection used notififcations, but I have seen where having one notification app enabled caused another to not get them at all, and re-toggling everything usually fixes.

Not sure how it's possible to break the phone connection.
[Samsung Gear S] MrAwesome75:
I second this. GV is the only other app besides Hangouts that I would want working this way as far as messaging. I've had a GV number for 4 years and if I can get it working with all my devices the way I want it to, I might finally start using it.

It would be ideal if it would work with the Gear S so I can use GV as my voice mail for all my phones. I have a work cell a personal cell a Gear S and a tablet. Would be nice to combine them somehow so I don't have to constantly carry all my devices all while making everyone think I only have one number.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
unfortunately the reply feature has to be part of the notification that is sent on the phone, Basically if google makes it work with Android Wearables then it should show up as an action from my app. However if it's not there, there is no way for me to add it. Just like I can't actually build a true hangout client as much as I would love to. Google has unfortunately locked down the APIs to their apps on android.

A quick search indicates the GV and Android Wear are not very compatable at the moment

http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-wear/440799-google-voice-text-message-reply-moto-360-a.html
[Samsung Gear S] Stoodo:
Another nail in the coffin for GV. Clearly Google doesn't want to add such a simple feature to make it any more attractive than it already is. :(
[Samsung Gear S] Geletis:
So if Google creates a way for Android Wear devices to respond to Google Voice messages, than you'll be able to do the same?

Odd, I'd have thought Google would have wanted that functionality in their watches, though perhaps everything is moving to Hangouts. If Hangouts had all the features of Google Voice, few would have an issue with that, but right now, Hangouts is still lacking too many of GV's features.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
It will depend on whether it's integrated with their android wear notification design or if it's a standalone closed application.

BTW I have removed the big red warning, it appears the danger of locking up the watch is now over!
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Question.. and I think this was mentioned before in another post in this thread.. Is it possible to use a third party SMS app instead of having to use the stock messaging app for texts? I was using Evolve SMS for a while, but had to revert to the stock messaging app to receive texts on the watch.
