I have the same issue to get past this I just use hangouts for sms

i fixed it by doing a full reset on my phone and the watch. not sure what settings i made or change but it works for me now.

Galaxy S5 texts on the Moto 360

I can't appear to directly reply to text messages on the watch for some reason ? I have the option (reply or send to phone) but when I choose reply, all that happens is a green check mark comes up and it doesn't do anything.
Anyone else have this or know what I'm doing wrong?

Try hangouts and see if it works. I'm using it and works fine

I have the same issue with the stock messaging app as well. I really want to avoid connecting Hangouts and Texting.. the people I talk to do not overlap at ALL.

Well even with Hangouts set for sms on my Moto X, the watch sends texts using the "Messaging" app. And, touching that app in recent apps sends the message again and again.
Also, sending a text to a number sends it to some inexplicably chosen contact. If they can't get it right with their own phone, I sure others will have problems as well. I have returned mine and will try again next year.

I have exactly the same problem. Did you get that one sorted? Works perfect when voice replying to email but sms with OS messaging software doesn't work.

Any Progress?

Exactly the same issue here. Haven't managed to find a fix. ...

try some other free sms apps.. the stock one doesn't work... i currently use chompsms and like it the most, only thing i can't get on android wear is picture text messages...
you can try textra, hello sms, or some other sms apps.. i recall trying those and i believe they work..

New Google messenger works great

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:

Reading text messages from your phone?

Can you read text messages that are still on your phone from your watch? I recently saw that you can read through your phones text messages on the Samsung Gear watch, wondering if we can do that.

only when you receive a notification. unless there's a messaging app that also installs an app on the watch, there isn't a method for reading your messages. and you'll only be able to see the messages from the user who messaged you. and if you receive more than one photo, you'll only get a preview of the latest photo.

text messages

I just received my watch today and noticed whenever I receive a text message I don't have the option to read it. The only options I see are reply, mark ad read, call, open on phone,and block.
Is this normal or am I missing some settings?
Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
Thanks

You just have to tap the text message and then scroll up and down to read.

I'm using the textra app as my message app.
After additional research I found out that the watch is basically a mirror of the phone (on the notification part), so if I wanted the conversation on the watch, I'll have to enable that in textra too. I have textra set to not show text message on the phone (a privacy setting). Whenever I get a text message on the phone it'll just show xx # of text message I would then press on the notification to see who texted me.
In the end I enabled show message in textra, now I can see the messages on my watch.
