My Asus Zenwatch runs Android 5.0.2 and I have the Galaxy Note 4. Whenever I receive a text message my watch alerts me, but when I try to reply, it vibrates and shows the green check mark with no option for speech, yes or no. The reply function works well for Gmail. I recently has the wear messages app installed l, didn't like it. Could there be a setting from that app still in my Zenwatch or does Samsung's messenger not fully work with Android Wear. I didn't perform a reset of the watch. First Android Wear I've owned.
Try using coffee SMS app it works really good for me. The are preset messages on there and you also have the choice of speaking to send text

I found a fix that made it possible for push notifications to come through in realtime (for comments,tags etc.). I heard about that BlackBerry simulator solution and this is what i did : I downloaded a BB simulator (for 9300 series of phones or something...basicaly BB 7.0 or so). I logged out the FB app on Android, then i fired up the BB simulator/emulator and i I entered my facebook credentials in the BB's FB app and enabled "push notifications" and i also disabled all email notifications within the app. After that i logged-out and so FB push notifications started coming through immediately on my Samsung Galaxy Try it ,it freakin works! P.s.: i would love to know if it worked for you. And another thing, don't forget to re-login on the FB app on the Nexus and ENABLE NOTIFICATIONS in the Options menu (the first checkmark box just under "refresh interval". Every other things like Event Invite,Messages and Friend Requests don't come through via Push but via refresh interval. Everything else will work through PUSH

For FB settings do you need update intervals enabled? If so, how often?

No not really you will get instant fb notifications, i set mine to every 30 mins though it really does not make a difference
Facebook app is such a mess.
On my Sensation and other phones, with notifications turned off, I get PERFECT notifications.
Now with my new Galaxy Nexus, with it on or off I don't get any notifications.
Man I hate them.

Yes you need to be signed out of any facebook when you do this trick
So basically if I have the Facebook messenger app installed on my phone, this will not work?
For example I removed facebook app from my xoom. I installed facebook app on my nexus. I also have the facebook messenger installed on my nexus. So can I use this method?
works for me! make sure u remember to sign out of both facebook and facebook messenger on your gnex before u sign in on the simulator
Worked for me.
Just follow the instructions, and remember to log out.
I've been using the MOTO 360 for about 2 weeks now after switching over from the original Sony Smartwatch. Just from a notification functionality standpoint I feel that android wear in general is really lacking. I know that has a lot to do with how new the software is and it will get better with time.
The things I want the most right now are to be able to see go back and look at messages and emails after they have been dismissed. The Wear messenger app is almost perfect on the messaging side but it doesn't work with MMS which is frustrating.
Are there currently any email apps for android wear that work in the same way as wear messenger does? I have been searching since I got the watch and I've found nothing.
My Moto 360 showed me incoming facebook messages no problem, but I have never once seen one on my Huawei watch. I've tried resyncing the apps, re-pairing the watch, enabling all permissions for all apps involved, everything I can think of. Anyone have this problem and solve it?

Checked it. Not blocked.

I just got an original Huawei watch yesterday (on sale, Amazon), and everything seems to be working as it should be except Facebook Messenger. After much tinkering, I am able to receive messages occasionally (not every one), but my only option to reply is a thumbs up. I can't send out on Messenger at all. Is this just the Huawei watch, or is it an AW 2.0 problem? I really want AW 2.0, but not being able to use messenger is a deal breaker for me. I am thinking of returning the watch, but for what? If the other AW 2.0 watches have the same problem, there's little point. Thanks for any help you can give me.

When I created this post, I was on Wear 1.5. Since 2.0, the problems have been fixed for me. I get notifications no problem.
Swipe up on the thumbs up to get more options. Select voice if you want to reply. Even though it says voice, you will be given the option to use the keyboard to respond as well.
Messenger on Huawei watch
I've just got an original Huawei watch and I'm using it with a Umi Super . Having downloaded the Facebook messenger app, when I open it on the phone I get a message saying "To use messenger, install the app on your phone first".
I already have messenger installed on my phone and no matter how many times I uninstall/reinstall. This is I get.
Has anyone else had this? Or have any ideas how to solve it?
Thanks
Same
I have exactly the same problem
Hi all,
I have just got my 46mm galaxy watch but i am having trouble with the notification management on the watch.
It's most probably me not using it right as i am used to wear OS but I'm hoping you can help me out.
When i get an email for instance i open it on my galaxy watch... Press the 3 dots on the right hand side and press the bin icon... This clears the notification from my watch but if i open my phone and go into the email app the email is still sat there.
What i am wanting is to completely delete the email from the account when i delete it on my watch not just clear the notification.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks in advance.
This is the problem i mentioned in this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ons--answers/email-app-missing-watch-t3865938
Only if you have Samsung Smartphone you can interactively work with mails. Note that you do not have mail app in the watch ( as I do not have )
You are just working with notifications form your mail app on the phone. You are only clearing notification- not the message.
Mayby someone make a full blown email app in the Galaxy Store - that is the only hope
Got it ?
P.S. I cannot understand stupidity of Samsung software team to make it this way

Hi, thanks for the reply. I am using a Samsung Galaxy note 9. I have the the Samsung email app on the watch and i use that email app on the phone.
On wear OS if i press delete it actually deletes the email from the account but this isn't the case on the Samsung watch it will just remove the notification on the watch / phone but leave the email sat in the account which is a bit poor in my opinion compared to wear OS.
Hopefully someone knows a way to delete the email straight from the notification same as you would on the phone from the pull down notification tray without having to physically go into the email app to do it.

From what I am reading, the access you have on your Galaxy Watch to your non-Samsung device is purely notifications. If it was a Samsung device (This is what I am hearing), you could get a native watch app that allows this but in your current set up, you can only clear the notification, not the email.

Hi. I am using a Samsung galaxy note 9 with the Samsung galaxy watch. I can go into the email app on the watch to delete the email but I want to be able to delete straight from the notification not just clear the notification and still have the email sat in the email account.
Thanks
And so the plot thickens...
I have tried to adapt to the way tizen seems to deal with email notifications and i am now opening the notification and pressing the "open in app" option and then long pressing the email and deleting from there on the watch. A bit of a long way around compared to wear os but OK it will have to do i suppose....
Now i am finding that if i do the method above the email deletes from the account, but the notification will still sit on my phone until i remove it on the phone despite already actually being deleted from the account :crying::crying:.
Who at Samsung thought this was all OK and was a good way of managing email notifications. It is completely broken
Solution found
I found following solution to satisfy author of the topic ( and me either ):
Note: I do not have Mail app on the watch as I do not have Samsung phone - all happens through notifications from Email app on the phone
1. Find and install TypeApp mail client from Play Store
2. Configure client above as you like - it is feature rich and bit messy but once done you will be satisfied
3. Important: in TypeApp: Setting-Notifications- Advanced Notifications ( top of screen ) ENABLE: Extended notifications for Wear & Nougat
4. Enable notification push to watch in Galaxy Wearable phone app
And now: when you receive notification on the Watch, click 3 dots on the right. You will note 2 wastebaskets icons. Touching upper icon deletes email and notification, touching lower icon clears notification from the Watch only
Happy Tuesday
P.S. I do not know how it works with other Emaill apps. Your comments are welcome.

Same here with redmi note 8 global version. Tried Yaata, Chomp sms, textra same result no notification sound. So first they installed Google message app then blocked all others. Bravo!
Update
Redmi note 8 have combined sms and notification sound. So only app that dont have their own notification sound will work. Like facebook messenger works if used for sms.
Strange limitation.
TEXTRA sound and notifications
hey guys ! I had a similar issue while using textra , it´s definitly permissions ! when installing it may not be enough just saying allow for the questions that textra asks , be sure to go to textra permission and allow " sound " ( or similar ) worked like a charm for me !
cheers !
Yea ran into this thread as I also had the same problem with Textra. I received my Redmi Note Pro 4 days ago and did a phone swap from an LG G8 only minutes ago.
For anyone else that might run into this, I had to go into the Settings/notifications section and played around with all 3 pages (lockscreen, floating, and badges) to get texta notification sounds.
As an aside, I transferred all my backed up notifications/call logs saved over time from every phone this phone# has used so that all history is intact. (Thanks to the SMS and Call Log backup app).
Both the LG G8 and this phone's stock messaging app do not show the actual messages, and the Redmi's will not even bring up the keyboard when I go into a conversation. Textra works perfectly!
Depending on text app you are using, you may have more or less tuning to do in order to get the notifications, and then it also depends what permission you are going to give there and what mode you are on (General, Silent, DND).
Also note some older apps just do not deal with the new way notifications works since Orea in that case no matter what you do, you may not receive notifications at all.
Personally I am using Signal which also allows me to have a per contact different notification and which works with overriding DND if contact is stored on phone and stared (do not forget to star contacts you want to pass through DND mode).
As a general rule of thumbs, you always need to make sure the following are set up per app you want notification to work.
Obviously make sure in the actual app settings, notifications is turned on.
Unlike previous post I dont/want need floating notifications and lock screen notifications for security reasons. That said you can leave lock screen and hide content. That's a per app setting too.
In that notification page, you may have additional settings to set at the bottom, like for example in Signal you also have a MESSAGE sub-section where you can tune up notification sensitivity on a stared contact. If you want to be sure to receive notification for that particular contact set it to "High" importance. In signal at the end of that contact list you have "Default" option where all messages from unstared contacts/numbers goes. Mine is set to low, because I don't want to receive any notifications for those when I am in DND.
Also make sure to play with battery optimization triggers. To avoid issues I usually have no restrictions on apps I want to receive notifications from like text apps, so I run them without restrictions at all. That's a handful of apps anyway.
Finally if none of the above works for you or if your app has never updated its way to handle notifications which have changed with Android updates, you may have to install a third party app to deal with them.
As a turn around when I dont manage to fix the notifications I want, or if the app is not able to override DND, I use MacroDroid.
I give all the required permission (including Autostart and no battery restriction) to play notifications properly on that MacroDroid app notification permissions, and then I create a new macro for the app (or all the apps, multiple apps can be selected at once) I want to receive.
As trigger I set Notification received, set parameters I want to use and apps concerned then as Action I set Play sound with selecting the sound I want to play. All done.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
