delete! wrong thread

Hi folks,
hopefully someone can help me.
For a long time now, I'm looking for an app which can send and recieve short messages (not SMS!!) from an on your PC. A simular App would be Chrome to Phone but not only for links but messages in general as well as the ability to recieve messages from your phone on your PC.
For Example, I want to use it for the following situations:
- you want to (quickly) share a link you have found on your PC with your Whatsapp mates.
- you have recieved a link / name or just something on your phone and want to google it on your PC
- you want to call a number which is displayed on you PC
Does any of you guys knwos an app or a solution for this case? I know that Android Lost uses a message service called message popup. Hoever it isn't really intuitive for this kind of usage.
Maybe someone has an idea...
Big Thanks
Hilola

[Q] Hangout issues

When I initiate a text via my M360 it sends fine but doesn't pop up in my message list. If I reply to anyone message it shows, just not when I start a text. Anyone else?

Please explain in more detail, does it not show up on the moto 360 or does it not show up on the hangouts app on your primary device? If it doesn't show up on M360 I believe it's because of the way the software is coded to show apps only when a notification is prompted. Initiating a text doesn't prompt a message but when someone replies it does. I believe that is the problem you have.

It doesn't show on either device the phone or watch. I know it sends because I get responses from people.

DId you try updating Hangouts yet? Are you on the latest version with the Material Design UI and the Hangouts Dialer app too? I just tried sending a text to a friend via Hangouts and it worked perfectly fine. It's showing in the app and on my M360! Try updating and then resyncing all available apps through the Android Wear app settings. That might solve your issue!

The latest Hangouts app is a turd. So many bugs I finally switched to the HTC messaging app on my One M8.

Yeah hangouts suck. Try textra. I love it cuz it's so fast. It has android wear support as of today.

Message Reply on Watch

I can't for the life of.me figure out how. I started using Hello sms, but all it does is open the reply on my phone or acknowledge I received the text. I also can't get hangouts to even open on my watch.
Along the same lines, anyone know of a keyboard that works on the watch? TIA

I have a Nexus 5 using Hangouts sms. When I get a notification on my 360 I swipe up to read message. Swipe left and I get the messages in that sms thread. Swipe left again and I get *Reply*. Tap on that and get the microphone. Swipe up and get *Canned* responses. :victory:

[Q] Command to send Hangouts message?

Ok, so I've found out that Android Wear does a few things really weird:
1. If I'm using the default app for SMS (not Hangouts), I can say "Sent message/text to", along with the message and it will send it.
2. If someone sends me a text through my default SMS app, Android Wear will alert me, but will not let me reply with voice unless I'm using Hangouts as my SMS app.
So if I want to initiate a Hangout with someone, is there a command for that? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

you can't start a Hangout from the watch, only reply to one sent to you

[Q] Where to find list of text messages?

Hello! On SW 2 you could read text messages you got earlier, and see your list of calls. On SW 3 I only get to read a sms the moment I get it. Am I doing something wrong, or isnt it possible to read previous texts, and check calls, see pictures and so on?

The sw2 and sw3 are running different OS's so you shouldn't expect the same features. Sw3 is an Android wear device manufactured by Sony.

to reply to your question, using hangouts there is no way to read older sms messages. let's hope this will change in the future, considering we have text input methods already out there...

Use google messenger. When you get a text you can swipe left and see your whole convo

Thanx
Thanx for the answers folks! I was afraid I wasnt wrong, that you cant read old messages. I am in fact pretty dissapointed about SW3 vs SW2.. Lets just they make it possible in the future.

Wear messenger works pretty well in doing this. You can go back and read messages even if you haven't received a text. Plus you can send texts via keyboard input. Works great for work when I can't have my phone out, but can still respond briefly to people.
