SWR50 and marking messages as read - Sony Smartwatch 3

Hi community,
first post and already a question
I just got the SWR50. (YAY) and so far I really like it. I have it paired with a z3 compact. Both devices run marshmallow.
All is fine and dandy, but one thing irks me. Whenever I read an email (gmail) or say an whatsapp message or an sms it does not become unread on the phone itself.
In case of the gmail I am presented with some options when I swipe the card to the left (delete, archive, answer, etc...). Mark the message as read however is none of them. Is there any way to enable this or am I missing something obvious? I tried swiping the card into the other direction. That removes the notification from the watch, but still leaves the message on the phone unread.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

For Gmail try CloudMagic. In the General options set Notification Actions. For sms I use Hangouts.

Please help I can't see my text messages!

I receive messages, the inbox show a number of messages between brackets, but when I open it is empty, it does not show any messages. Anybody got a clue why? :?:
Duplicate issue needs help
I am having the same issue. I have the ATT fuze, however this is my third one. The first one was perfect until there was a party foul that took it away. The second one had a typing issue so I replaced it. This third one is doing the same as the above poster mentioned. My today screen will show that I have text messages waiting to be opened but when I navigate to the folder there is nothing in it. Performed a hard-reset but the same thing happened. Installed third party software and now I can view the messages and reply. I am not happy with this "bandaid" but it will temporarily do till this can be resolved. Please help.

there may be something wrong with your storage card
the storage card can, by any means, have nothing to do with it. i personally never had such a problem, so i can just guess:
sample situation:
- i receive an sms, i see a notification, with the sender and the first few words.
- instead of clicking read, i press the hardware mail button to open messaging and read the sms
- while having it opened, i delete it.
- i go back to home screen and there is still a message and a notification
now i have confused my phone showing me new messages, although i already read and deleted them.
that is the only way i could think of to even get in that situation.
btw. that is the same thing with missed calls. if i have a notification of a missed call and instead of clicking the notification i open the phone manually and look whose call i missed, i will still have the message on home screen, telling me, there was a call i didn't know about, although i already checked.
please make sure that the description above is not the case.
because that is a general bug/user mistake, since the notification service is not fully integrated in pocket outlook, sometimes it gives out older data if you bypassed it to get to your information. that is normal. next time you get a message, try clicking the notification and click read or save as read, and look what consequences that has in your messaging folder.
if then still there is no message to be found, right after you read it once, it is still probably an error in the communication between notification service and pocket outlook, but then it is not your fault anymore you'd probably have to flash another rom then,
OR
it is something completely different and you need to contact your carrier, that receiving sms doesn't work out for you, that either you get a new sim or other network settings need to be changed.
my solution
I made some changes using advance config and changed portrait and landscape mode to cleartype. the fuze does not work with cleartype in landscape mode. Turn that off and it begins to work.
Text Messages not displayed
I know this is a very old thread but did anyone come out with a solution.
I'm still using my Blue Angel and it's come up with this problem.
I think it was after I received an MMS message (the first I received).

Duplicate text message notifications

I've searched for similar threads but none quite like the question I'm about to ask. I am using Koni Elite series III and have been for some time. I just did a clean wipe to see if this would resolve it but still happening. The problem is I get 2 notifications when someone sends me a text. Usually this person is on my contacts list so I get one with there name and the other comes in as the phone number. I'd rather just have the one from the name. I don't seem to be getting dual messages.. Just dual notifications. I do not have any other messaging apps installed .. just the default from the rom.. No other themes except Launcher pro installed. Thanks for any advice or help on this.
I'm seeing now that one looks to be from either email or voicemail sent as a text message if that helps.. still can't find where to turn this off at. Thanks for any help!
I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! The mystery notification was from an app called Red List. I installed it to get rid of the 9016 text messages you sometimes get. It worked in eliminating that text but there is a setting for message notifications that I unchecked and walla.. no more duplicates Hope this helps someone else.. Case closed..

[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.

Badge count on messages and email completely wrong?

I like the badge count feature, a great improvement from android 7.x, but on my s9 the count is not representative of the actual number of unread messages and emails I have- for example, when I get a new text message, the badge count usually says 3, and 3 or 4 unread emails gives me a badge count of between 35 and 45!
Has anyone else had this issue, or any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!
with the new Android version, the badge count reflects not only NEW notifications but older, unread ones also. That may be the issue.
Thanks for the reply- not that though, I have zero unread messages but it always shows 3 as a badge when I get a new one.
I guess I am the only one with this issue, so maybe a wipe and rebuild is in order
I have same problem on my S9+. Using textra, I have deleted all text messages and still when I get a new message, it shows 2 instead of 1. When using Signal app, the badge rarely if ever even shows any count. All other apps seem to be accurate.
Gmail randomly shows 999 for me..only sometimes
I have this issue, too. Currently ZERO unread messages, but when I get a new text, the counter says "5".
ive come from s7 edge with touchwiz from s8 installed previously and badges there worked as intended (unread count, not notification count).
when i recovered all apps and settings on my new s9 notifications worked the same as on the old phone (unread count). when i reset the device and recovered nothing but messages and contacts it started to act as for every1 (notification count).
Same goes for the samsung keyboard. for freshly set keyboard i dont seem to be able to enable swype typing, when i recover keyboard data from old phone recovery swype get "enabled" tho no option is present in settings
maby there is some hidden option to reenable unread badges again
Badge count incorrect
I've had the same problem with my new Galaxy S9. The badge icon will show 5 new messages, but there will only be 2 or it will show 2 new messages and there will only be 1. And, no there aren't any hidden unread messages. Hopefully, it will get corrected soon.
Same issue

I have the same issue. It started after Telstra sent notification of change to my MessageBank. Message received was
"Your mobile is now Telstra Messaging capable. Your Telstra MessageBank voice mail will now be delivered to the RCS messaging inbox on your device. This feature requires your device to have the latest Android updates. For more information, including control of this feature browse Telstra. com/rcs"
That message was also sent as an audio (MMS)
Then the problems started.
The Message badge shows incorrect numbers - if I have one voicemail it can show as 3 or 4. It shows as 2 or 3 if it is a text message. If I press the Message badge it then shows 2 bubbles. The first grey bubble will say 101 Message Bank - the second white bubble is an audio MMS which can only be played with speaker on.
I have spoken with 8 people in Telstra, and they are still trying to fix. Have tried switching off the Rich Communications in Chat Settings. Have sent AUDIO OFF to 144 as per Telstra website.
The Audio messages are now stopped but badge still shows incorrect numbers and message now says
"You have received a new voicemail, please call 101."
I then have to go back to keypad and dial 101.
Previously I never dialled 101 just pressed the bubble and it took me directly to voicemail. As of 30 mins ago - Telstra still trying to find out what has changed.
If they figure it out I will post the instructions!
Also having this problem, though only noticed it after updating to Android P. For the record, I found a few suggestions online about wiping the data/cache for the app "BadgeProvider" and rebooting, but that hasn't helped.

I think I found a fix for SMS. It's annoying though, and might not be universal.
I'm using the stock android messaging app for texts instead of the Samsung one, so badge I'm seeing is over the stock messaging app. In that app is a menu item to "mark all read" which I've used a few times. But while there's no badge after, I can get one message and have a badge that says I have three.
Here's the deal: the Samsung messaging app, even if it isn't the default SMS app, has its own unread count and hides it.
So, if you open the *Samsung* messages app (and say cancel when it asks if you want to set it as your default texting app) it'll load up with a tab on the bottom for Conversations. If you wait a minute, a blue badge will appear next to it with a number. Scroll down and look for a similar badge on different conversations on the right side, and open each one. When there's no badge next to conversations anymore, exit the app.
That *should* do it. I've now gotten a single text message and been given a badge that says 1.
That worked for me - thanks!

firstly, i believe theyre called "badge" notifications
so, to make sure i understand, youre getting notifications for other stuff up in the top bar where the time, battery level and signal icons are located, correct? And youre wanting your text message badge notifications to show there as well?
Sorry for the mistakes,
I'm talking about badge on the app icon that either count notifications or unread messages.
In galaxy s9+ it counts notifications. Please guide if I can enable that for unread count i.e., the unread messages in whatsapp, gmail, twitter, etc.
Please let me know if need more charity. Happy to answer.
Thanks!

Stock Samsung Messages App

I have just started using the Samsung Stock Messages app for SMS, coming from Textra.
I noticed that when I hit compose and enter a contact name, it shows all the phone numbers for that person. It doesnt even show which are mobile and which are not.
On Textra it labeled the numbers, and it also had an option to only show Mobile numbers.
Is there any way to do this on the Messages app? Its really confusing as I cant always tell which is even the right number to select for a text message to a contact...seems weird.
Thanks.

It does show mobile and other like work etc for me, open the messages app > contacts tab at the bottom > select contact > if contact has more than one number saved a pop-up appears with names of different numbers shown
Thanks for the reply. I feel like I am missing something as this process is so cumbersome for me that it almost doesnt make sense...
1 - in Textra and others, I hit the compose text button and start typing a name. it then immediately will show any associated numbers with labels so you can see which is the mobile, which is the home, etc. in this stock app I just see the contact name with a bunch of numbers. and if I hit one, it doesnt bring up any sort of window with all the labels.
2- following your directions, if I first go to the contacts tab (already an extra step) I see along list of all of my contact names. There is a search button, but if I hit that and type a contact, I again see an unlabeled list of numbers.
3 - if I manually scroll down the entire list until I find my contact, then when I press it I see a pop up with labels.
Any which way this is a LOT of steps to compose a text message - seems like it doesnt make sense. there is no more streamlined way?

Not that I know of, this is why there are 3rd party apps with a lot more time and attention gone into adding features over stock, personally I just leave conversations in my messages app so I can open and text direct from there, only the first ever message you send them you have to perform those steps
Why not just stick with Textra?
Great question!
Sadly, something is screwed up with AT&T, my Galaxy S9 and text messaging.
Several weeks ago, I started having an issue where I am sporadically not getting random texts. They just never appear - and then people are wondering why I didnt reply. To troubleshoot this, I went to the AT&T portal and checked the log of text messages...the missing messages are never even hitting my AT&T number, so it seems this is not an app issue.
AT&T has so far been useless in diagnosing this. But googling around, I have noticed that a number of people have had this issue and it seems AT&T's "Advanced Messaging" feature is a possible culprit. There have been reports that deactivating this has solved the issue for some users.
Unfortunately the only way to deactivate this that I have uncovered is through the stock app. And if I deactivate this in the stock app and then switch to another app like Textra, it is getting turned on again automatically. I have not discovered any way to keep this deactivated while using a 3rd party SMS app.
Crazy but tragically seems to be the case...very frustrating.

There is an app called "Package Disabler Pro" which allows without root, the disabling of system packages, if you know what the advanced messaging package is called, you might be able to permanently disable it without having to have the stock SMS app as default, perhaps disabling the Samsung stock SMS app would also do it (Just read here that Disabling the messages app on the S10+ allows Textra to work)
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/blcs1b/textra_no_sent_messages_only_received_messages/
Contacting the Textra dev would be a good idea too, ask them to add the feature you need into textra
I am also seeing another method that may disable it, by disabling VoLTE
https://textra.uservoice.com/knowle...80-t-mobile-at-t-verizon-missing-messages-rcs
Looks like that is for T-Mobile but worth a shot, if AM uses VoLTE it should kill it
