When I get an incoming text on my lg g smartwatch (cheapest one) it just notifies me of a list of texts. If I swipe to the left goes to my agenda not a list of the texts. So I have no way to read incoming texts. Very frustrating. Reinstalled google voice. That too only gave lists of incoming texts before it stopped working entirely. Is there anyway to get the body of an incoming text on the watch face. This worked well on my broken qualcolm toq and somewhat less well on my tizen samsung galaxy gear (tiny font, only a few words, do they cloister their i.t. department in a monestary so they have no contact with end users). No wonder Apple is eating everyones lunch.

I am putting this idea out there in case anyone would be willing to develop the app. Originally I got the idea from the XBMC Remote. It has the following features:
On incoming call, display who's calling on TV screen and pause video until call is over
On incoming message, display on TV screen
This shows that it is perfectly possible to output the information. Now if we could only get similar functionality to the pc. Having your call information or texts displayed as either notification popups and/or within an app that lists all calls and txts.
We could even take it a step further by including the functionality found in google voice and other pc sms apps to give the ability to respond to txts, or answer and initiate calls to the phone.
All in all, on the user end they could be able to control all this by the use of:
Popup notifications
Small task bar with shortcuts to each option, a count of unread messages, and current phone status (ie in call etc).
A full fledged application to control all of the above, as well as view a full contact list, message history, call history, and anything else we can get the phone to output.
Hello,
I love this phone N4 but i don't really like the GUI when receiving call. When you need to pull to left reject the call and pull to right to receive the call. Sometimes i got the phone upside down and did that in the wrong way around (which i plan to receive the call but i rejected the call instead). So just wondering, is it possible to change the GUI when receiving call? like have a clearer (more colorful buttons) to receive the call.
thanks.
i'm sorry if there's a duplicated thread, i did try to search through.
Try something like Fullscreen caller id from the Play Store.
exDialer is nice.
This morning, somebody was texting me. They wrote a fairly lengthy message, so it was split over three texts. Text 1 and Text 2 arrived. Text 3 never did (and there clearly was a third text, both given the way that Text 2 ended, and the fact that Google Voice indicated there were three texts, despite Text 3 never showing up there or in the main messaging app).
Anybody else had this problem?
Any real solution to it?

I got the Samsung Gear at IO (yea) and have been going through the user adjustment phase, happily have pretty much everything working (I use a Galaxy Nexus as the phone stock. I receive text and I can send emails (from the watch) but for some reason I can't send text from the watch. It says it is sent, goes through all the motions, asks for recipient, clarifies to send to the mobile number and gets the text via voice and then says it is sending and gives a success green check, but the message is lost does not show on phone hangout or messaging log, nor does the recipient get it.. Anyone have any ideas?? or is my problem unique to me?
Hidden choice message on Phone for sending text
Finally found my "missing texts.. when I was sending, the phone was opening a choice dialog to choose between Google voice or messaging, I chose messaging and checked always and all is now working, buy the way retweeting to twitter using the bunting app has a similar issue, it opens the native vs edit retweet chice, which cannot be set to default one way so you need to pull the phone out...
Hello folks,
I am having an issue that I just can't figure out.
Using the standard apps, when I get texts, no notification sounds are made but I get all text notification as just the cards.
I tried both Wear Messenger and Messages for Android (also called Wear Messages). Here is where my issue comes into play. All text notification makes the sound I set, all except for one. One single contact when using either Wear Messenger or Messages for Android just does not show up. It doesn't even show a card for that text. I have tried everything I can think of, reset the watch, deleted the contact and readded it. I am at a lose at this point on what could be causing this one contact text to not notify me via the watch. When the contact calls that works fine and I can answer a call from them. BTW, the watch is a Fossil Q Founder runner the current Android Wear version.
Normally just for one contact I would just say screw it....but it's my girlfriend. So I would like to have the notification show up on the watch when she texts me. Any ideas?
