Here is what I have noticed so far..

Google Play Music - Album art and controls work from within notification on watch

Spotify - No album art and controls work from within notification on watch

Pandora One - Album art, no controls from within notification on watch

Pandora - No album art, no controls from within notification on watch

Haven't tried Samsung Milk Music yet. Will try tonight and give you an update.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Ok ill find a fix for the artwork on Spotify. May be harder to deal with Pandora controls.

BTW I also know that amazon music works
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
24 hours and no issues that I can see with the latest update. Still solid.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Good timing, just updated with a fix for Spotify cover art. Found out why it wasn't working. Apparently the app updated once without the cover and then again with it. You may get duplicate refreshes on the watch as the notification comes in, but only one actual notification line on the watch

I also fixed the issue with occasionally getting 2 whatsapp notification when there is an image attached.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Sweet! Is the update in the OP?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Just noticed something.. LINE messages are coming in twice, but in the same notifications. First one shows the message within the avatar, the next one shows the avatar on top and the message below it. All in the same notification window.
[Samsung Gear S] RiaanTel:
This app is working very well. I love it. Small problems that I am sure will be a dressed. When I get a Watsapp message with a picture it show the picture twice on the watch. A small one on top with a bigger one underneath. LINE is working fine just no images are shown on the watch like Whatsapp

Thanks again for the time and effort you putting in to make this app perfect
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
That's actually by design. Unfortunately I can't put the big one on the main screen that shows when the notification pops up. So I added a bigger one on the bottom. I can add a setting to turn that off though.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Hmm ok ill take a look
[Samsung Gear S] RiaanTel:
Thanks for the quick reply. You can leave the pictures on WhatsApp as it is. Would it be possible to dismiss the notification on the watch when read on phone,but do it not for all the apps but under the app settings so to select which app notifications to dismiss
[Samsung Gear S] aslandholm:
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
I must of missed this yesterday. The issue with LINE is actually happening with multiple apps. Double notifications within one notification.
[Samsung Gear S] rogerpilly:
Testing it now. First impressione: it rocks!!! Wonderful job, man, it does make a huge difference! Thank you very much.

I will buy it for sure. Only thing I cannot replay is Viber, but I know it doesn't depend on you. Wonderful job!
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
Did a 6 hours test and only got new emails. The only "problem" is that remote connect did not start, so I connected via Bluetooth and then turned it off to get the remote connect working.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I can make both app specific, good idea.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
So I set up Line and cannot reproduce the double notification issue you are seeing. Any specific method that causes it? Do both notifications look the same? What other app are you seeing this on?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Hmmm.. LINE was the only app that I configured individually to vibrate 3 times. I turned it off and will monitor.

I have the issue in hangouts, Gmail, and pretty much any other notification I receive.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
oh that's very strange, I've never had that issue in any of those which I use all the time. Do they look the same? does one have avatar and not the other?

Can you roll back to the app on play store and see if you still have the issue?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
For Gmail, it repeats the email within the same notification.

Even my word with friends notifications is duplicated within the one notification.

I'll roll back and see if I still have the issue.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
OH you're not getting multiple notifications? You're getting the text duplicated in a single notification?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Yes. With multiple apps.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
what version of android are you running? any chance you can take a pic of both the notification on the phone and on the watch? I've never seen anything like that and I get gmail and hangouts all day long.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Give me about 5 minutes to get those screen shots to you
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Hopefully the watch screenshots came in order. But that's basically one notification. Phone screen shot attached also.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
I'm on 4.4.4 - Sprint Note 4
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
WOW. That'll take some digging just come up with an idea on how that could happen. Definitely try rolling back.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
I'll try clearing cache, clearing data, then uninstalling, and reinstalling.

If that doesn't work, I'll roll back to the play store version.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Well I cleared cache, cleared data, uninstalled and then reinstalled. Everything seems to be working fine. Maybe it was a hiccup on my phone? Not sure. I'll keep an eye on it. My notifications usually slow down by this time at night. Sorry bout the false alarm.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
no it could be an odd bug I haven't seen. There's been a lot of oddities. At least it looks like it working for you again.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Yeah, all seems fine now. Do you think it was me having the playstore version first, then uninstalling it to install the test version? Maybe something got left behind that messed things up?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I suppose, but still very strange
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
Hi all,

My test version will expire soon. I want to buy the stable PlayStore version, but will i lose on "beta" functionality? Will there be a new trial version?

How sohuld i proceed? Just unistall the test version and then install the PlayStore one or is there anything else i should keep in mind?

Thank you!
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
The new version will be on play store before the trial expires, probably tonight. I will probably upload a new demo as well but will probably change the current expiration model to more of a works for a period from install date. Not sure yet on that one.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
It seems as though you are pushing updates within a week of us testing the new demos.

So maybe have the demo expire after one week, then direct them to purchase?

Also, I know that some developers have a Google + page and have beta sign ups. They can push betas through the playstore and whomever signed up, will get those updates to test. Once it was good, then it was pushed to the rest of the people that purchased the app, but weren't in the beta testing. Option maybe? That way those of use who purchased from the playstore can still test without uninstalling it and installing the demo, then reinstalling the playstore update.

Either way.. I think you should get paid for this app. Not a lot apps offer a long trial like yours.
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
Not sure if this has been mentioned in this long thread, but can the notification name be changed to something shorter? Also, I have found that the notifications get mixed up with other notifications. Like if I get one for Google Voice and then one from a Google Now card, the icon for GV is now the Google icon, I can no longer read the GV text message and it's basically lost.

It would also be great to have a list of apps that you're able to respond using the keyboard. I am enabling notification on GM and your app, getting it on watch and seeing which is best. Any I can respond to I leave this app....any that tells me to open on phone I just leave as GM for the notification name is shorter.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
It was shortened to GNE in this last update. The icon, I believe, represents the last notification read or received.
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
Mine doesn't say GNE and I bought it last night.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
My bad.. I meant his beta app in the OP. He had mentioned it'll get pushed to playstore as soon as tonight maybe.
[Samsung Gear S] DaRkMyk:
Bought the app in the Play Store. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Sorry one last beta test version before posting to play store. Available in OP

New version has option to turn off actionless notifications, which should eliminate a lot of duplicate messages with apps that have notifications both with and without actions(ENotifiy). It can only be set at the application level as turning this on globally will cause issues with app that just don't support actions.

Also introducing new Demo Expiration, which will now expire 7 Days from install.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Spotify cover art works!! Thanks!

Question.. Are you able to manipulate what actions go in what order?

For example, in Google Play Music and Spotify, the available action is the back track button or add to playlist.

The next track, pause and other function are in the option selection.

Is it possible to have the next track option be the available action?
[Samsung Gear S] RiaanTel:
Thanks for all the good and hard work. The app is working very well just for one issue I picked up. The Dismiss watch Notifications for individual applications are not working. If you can just have a look at that and this app will be perfect
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
Is there a new test version from yesterday?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I can right now I don't have a good way to let you tell the app what the order should be. I want to do this too so it will come.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Yep missed that one, should work now give it another try. I'll upload this version to the play store later tonight.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
New Version uploaded to google play. Should start showing up soon.
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
Thanks!!

Update looks good. GNE is much cleaner looking. Thanks..

Out of curiosity, what are some apps you guys have checked in extender that you don't in GM? I seem to have a mix of both and not sure why I'd want one over the other except on apps that extender let's me respond where GM won't..
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Anything that I need to reply to or has actions, I use GNE. ( LINE, Hangouts, Gmail, Facebook Messenger, Text messages ) Some music services, GNE, gives you the option to skip tracks, pause, or exit.

I do also use GNE for some other notifications that look better with GNE than they do with Gear Manager. ( Words with Friends, theScore to name some. )
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
For some reason, my avatar background isn't showing up in Hangout messages... Anyone else having this issue? I uninstalled the Beta App, and installed the Playstore version. Completely cleared cache and cleared data before uninstalling the Beta App, rebooted both phone and watch, and then installed the Playstore version. Still no avatar background. It's just black.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Are you using the default hangouts setup or are you using application specific settings for it?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Default hangouts setup. I went into the specific settings for it and enable use avatar. Hope that fixes it. Thanks! I'll let you know.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

It still isn't working. Not able to see the avatar in hangouts.. Uninstalled, reinstalled, and went into application specific setting to enable it. Still no avatar picture. Any ideas?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
let me take a look, pretty sure it was working for me today.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
It works in LINE and other apps, but not in Hangouts or Gmail. Related maybe?

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Sorry.. Didn't mean Gmail.. Just hangouts.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
So I see one issue, but I doubt it's what you're seeing, IF you setup hangouts specific settings, and disable avatar there then uncheck avatar from the application list and check it on the main setting it will still use the overridden settings. Otherwise my avatar display seems fine. I Uninstalled and cleared to make sure I didn't have leftover settings.

One question, I assume the avatar is displaying in the notification panel on the phone?
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Yes. I can see it in the notification drop down.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
So if you uncheck hangouts on the main screen then select it from the additional application list and enable application settings ad enable avatar there, that does not make it work? Not that you should have to do any of that.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Correct.

I'll do another complete wipe and reinstall.

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Did a reinstall. Seems to work now. The only common thing that is happening each time I have an issue is going from your test version to the playstore version. I had issues last time too when I uninstalled the test version and went to the playstore one.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
that's very strange since I sign both of them. BUT Google does something that changes the apk, not sure what. Strange that it was only hangouts and not GMail
[Samsung Gear S] RiaanTel:
Thank you very much for a great app and the hard work you put in. I am currently using the one from the playstore. One small issue is when the watch loose Bluetooth connection and reconnect with phone it makes 1 notification sound on watch and all the notifications on watch are unread again. Other than that it is a great app
[Samsung Gear S] tishfire:
Bought the app, thank you. hope the 28 jan version I just downloaded has all the bugs cleared for now :)
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Never noticed that one, I'll try it out and let you know.
[Samsung Gear S] gobraves00:
If I am using my phone and I get a notification how do i get it to show on watch also? Example, I'm talking on phone and I get txt, I want to be able to look at watch to read txt.
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
OP, Can you change the clock AM/PM font to be smaller or attached to the last number.? Text at quick glance are confusing.

It's like "2:20 PM Can you bring milk home"

Maybe even a dash behind the AM/PM

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

That's what it does for me. I read texts on watch while talking all the time.
[Samsung Gear S] gobraves00:
Is there a setting for that. I can't get it to work. Only getting notifications on watch when screen off on phone.
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
"Limit notifications" in GM. Uncheck it
[Samsung Gear S] gobraves00:
I don't see that. Can you do a screen shot please.
[Samsung Gear S] gobraves00:
That's in samsung gear , no gear notificatuons. But thanks, that box was checked, so I unchecked and shoukd work now.
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
Yeah it should work now. I said in post 505..."GM" as in Gear manager.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
I just noticed on startup that there were 2 day old emails pushed to the Gear. Not all of the past ones.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
I'm not sure I follow the request about the font on the clock?
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
See how the PM has no break to when text starts... Maybe a dash after PM. It's like my text starts with PM
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
What app is that notification from, that is not something I am adding, it must be in the text of the notification. I never seen a notification with the time in it like that.The font is the one you have set up on the watch,
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
Textra... So what does a regular text app notification look like, if this is a result of the app I use?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
if you look at the notification on the phone I'm guessing that text is there.

Normally for let's say Hangouts, the timestamp at the top is controlled by samsung. The body of the message is normally just the message without a time stamp. I've never used Textra, but I'm guessing it's adding that text to the notification.
[Samsung Gear S] EVOme:
Excellent! I'll have to adjust. Thanks for the app... Great addition to my watch. I would have returned had I not found this app.
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
Probably a stupid question, but I can't remember if it has been mentioned before and I can't for the life of me remember when I installed the latest version from here, but what happens when the app is expired.

I still have the image behind the text (I think is actually my favorite part of the app actually lol) but I seem to have lost the capability to reply to texts. I am currently using the stock messaging app on my Note 4.

I will supply more specifics if needed, I figured this may be a simple thing I missed a few pages back or something.

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
You'll have to purchase the app from the Playstore once the demo expires.
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
ummm yes....I do understand that, but having lost the capability of replying from the stock app in either this notification app or in general (through the Samsung Gear app) being a side-effect of the demo expiring or a glitch I have to further look into (resetting) was the main question I had.

Thanks anyway
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
My bad.. Didn't read it all the way through. I've had to in the past clear cache, clear data, and uninstall. Seems to work for me.
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
No worries, I have a bad feeling it will come to wiping and restarting with the Gear, but as always I was hoping to avoid that.

I am buying the app anyway, I think the full-screen contact pics are worth it alone (as long as I can get the reply-to function working in some way again lol).

P.S. not sure if/what it means, but my texts are now coming in under the category label G.N.E. I haven't any idea what that means
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
This app totally changes the way we use the Gear S. Best app for the Gear S in my opinion.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
No having the demo expire should actually not send any notifications to the gear at all. You should get a notification on your phone stating it expired. Sounds like you're having a different issue. Is it just SMS you can't reply to or everything?
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
Seems to be everything, I have a feeling it is the watch. I may have to reset and start from scratch again, hopefully that fixes it.
[Samsung Gear S] dnkeyhnter:
Has anyone got this app to work with a non-samsung phone?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
This is on my list to look at, unfortunately I have been unable to get gear manager to install on my non samsung tablet, so I have been unable to research this issue.
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
I love this app and while it worked it was fantastic, but I can't get the watch to be able to reply to a text any longer and I am using the stock app that should be working. I still get the large contact image (and love it) but the only options are to dismiss the notification or display app on the phone (Note 4).

I did a factory reset and think everything is correct. Any help would be appreciated, I will supply as much more info as I can.
[Samsung Gear S] jdizzle98:
I bought this app and have been using it for a month now and I love it.. Thanks for all ur hard work. This really is a game changer!!!!??
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Is it just the stock s ms app? BTW you shouldn't need my app to reply to s ms with stick app.

can you try hangouts or gmail see if you have reply option? I'll try the stick s ms app later tonight and see if it works. I didn't think it ever worked because my app uses android wear extensions and I would doubt samsung would add that support, but I will look.
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
I lost reply function on all apps across the board for some reason. In trying to fix it I wound-up losing notification capabilities as well. I finally just uninstalled Gear manager, this app, did a factory reset of the watch and started from scratch. I seem to have everything back now with the exception of your app.

I am not saying it was your app, I really think it was the watch. I am hoping I can get your app working smoothly again as well, I love the features you add to the Gear S!!
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
So is it just Reply? or you get no notifications from my app?

If you enable debug do you see the notifications come into the debug window?
[Samsung Gear S] Geletis:
Any chance of Google Voice support in future updates?
[Samsung Gear S] swyner:
Same here on the unable to reply. I don't even get the Avatar....so I know I set this up right, been through it 100 times and just wanted to test Gmail....I even installed Android Wear just in case. I do show in the Debug that the notification is going through Notification Extender so not sure what is going on.
[Samsung Gear S] syrguy1969:
My problem started out with the reply function stopping I wound up getting no notifications at all from the app or even Gear Manager alone in the end, so I started from scratch. I did get the notifications in the debug window.

Back up and running now except for this app (just haven't had a chance yet, I do plan on it).
[Samsung Gear S] roshim:
just bought your app and it's just - GREAT!

but i experience one problem.. when i get messages with images, not all the time i can see the image.. meaning, i get the notification, but some times it will only show the word "Image" and will not display the image itself..

what is the problem, and will you fix it in the next update?

thank you.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
That's a limitation of the android notification. I can only show the image if it is actually displayed in the notification on your phone. Pull down the notification, if there is an image you should see it on the watch, if not there is nothing I can do.

Most apps will only include the image in the notification IF this is the only notification from this person you have that you haven't read. SO.... If someone sends you a pic early in the morning, you'll see it. If you never look at it on your phone and they send you another later you'll just get the word "Image" or "so and so sent you a pic"

This app is based entirely on the android notifications and the reply extension added with android wear. Unfortunately if the app supports it and it's in the notification then I can usually support it. If not....
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
WOW, sounds like you had some total corruption of the notification system in android. I know a couple of other people are having similar issues, usually with custom ROMs that are only marginally compatible with Gear Manager.
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
Which application are you not getting reply option for?
[Samsung Gear S] rmont23:
So since i updated my S5 to lollipop your app doesnt give me full content on my watch for Gmail. Any way to fix this from my end or its a bug on lollipop?
[Samsung Gear S] gottahavit:
so you're seeing partial email text? Probably a bug/change in lollipop, but I can take a look. I have a lollipop updated S5 I can test.
[Samsung Gear S] rmont23:
Yes partial . Thx for checking
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Question... I used to use another sms app called Evolve SMS. On the Playstore page it says android wear support. Does this not necessarily mean it has a reply option? I want to say that when I had my Gear Live it had an option to reply by voice, not 100% sure since it's been a while since I've had that watch.
