OnePlus 5T and Samsung Gear - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Eagerly awaiting my op5t and wondering if it'll work with my Gear Sport smartwatch. Anyone hear has any experience using gear with op5t? Thanks

I ordered gear s3 today and would like to know about this too.

It is working great with my gear S2, not getting much battery drain either

Just got a gear S3 frontier and it works great with this phone. I needed to enable UK English for voice commands to work and it won't let you use the Samsung email or texting app that are usually on the watch, but almost everything else works. The only other issue I've had is that I can't draw a doodle and send it. Textra texts come through and I can reply to them and phone calls come through and can be answered. You can also initiate calls or texts from the watch without issue. Hope that helps. If you have other questions feel free to ask.

I got gear S3 for christmas. I can answer and receive calls perfectly with the stock oos phone app. But I couldn't reply to texts with the oos messaging app. I could see them come in but not reply.
I downoaded Google messaging app and works perfectly with replys.
I don't think Bluetooth with the watch drains battery at all. Maybe only when setting up the watch and transfering slot of stuff and updating that's it.
Im Australia and I can't even get the "voice assistant to do anything". I say ring mum. It's like there's no "mom" in your contacts. I know that the language is set to the USA. I changed it to UK and it's still hopeless

[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.

nexus 5x (and also with 5) no sound notification while talking on the phone

hi,
i didn't get to finish the title. i just got a 5x, and previously have had an n5. both seem to have the same problem with the native android messaging app (used to be messenger, now it's android messages). anyway, if i'm talking on the phone, i get no audible notification of an incoming text. i get them for emails, map directions, etc, but not the texts.
i believe i tried this query a couple years ago, to no avail. i'm just checking to see if anyone knows of a setting i can try to accommodate this simple request, without having to download some third party messaging app.
thanks

When I'm on a call, I get a silence all notifications icon on the top of my phone. I prefer to not hear anything, I'd check in the phone app settings.

"Hey Google" no longer reading latest text messages from Textra

Hi all, was working nicely for a long time.
Now it either just says "Something went wrong" or "There are no new messages."
I've spent multiple calls with Google tech support, nothing. Still same problem.
Pixel 3 XL, about 4 month old phone.
Would have used the default text app but I really use the scheduler function that Textra has, along with the 9-second delay.
Per Google tech support I also tried downloading another third-party app, like Pulse. Having same problem of not being able to read new text messages. It's one of the most important functions for me especially driving around, and being able to hear new messages & respond hands free!!
THANK YOU!

I know this isn't exactly the answer you're looking for, but you mentioned replying hands-free while driving. Android Auto has this functionality. You can listen to and respond to messages with just your voice. It even works with facebook messenger! I do 95% of my communicating through messenger, all that was really important to me. Anyways, hope this helped some.

Activate RCS messaging on any phone!

Hi guys. I know this is not Note 10 specific but it's great news nonetheless. Someone figured out how to activate RCS messaging and it works. ?
For those who don't know what RCS is, it's basically like iMessage for Android.
Here is the 9 to 5 Google article: https://9to5google.com/2019/10/26/enable-rcs-android-messages/
And here is a tutorial from Jeff Springer over on YouTube:
Spread the news guys it should work on any Android phone carrier. I'm currently in Canada and got it to work.
Enjoy?
confirm, working :good: :good:
Got it working on my Verizon note 10+
I got it working too...I think. Don't know anyone else with it haha
configured as well on my ATT Note 10+; however, replies to group messaging arrived as separate (or new) text messages and not part of the group. Fix for me was to disable the option to "Use WiFi data for messaging when available". Anyone else experience similar behavior? Thanks.

True lol
Works in Malaysia too. But no one here is using it.
Couldn't activate it here in Iran
Stuck in verifying my phone!
Edit: nope it's working and connected!
But no one is using it
I was able to do it on my Samsung-direct unlocked SD Note 10+ on T-Mobile, but when I restarted my phone later it went away and isn't coming back even when replicating the steps. It now says your carrier doesn't support this feature when I go into the Message app settings. I have the Carrier Settings app downloaded from Play Store as well.
Got it connected here. Followed the directions but had some issues with the phone number verification stage. Disabling wifi and trying again helped.
I am not sure if it is actually working though. Every message I send is either a sms or mms, even if I send it back to myself. At least one of my friends it should be going through as a chat message.

You can't send to yourself. Just ask your friend to enable it.
why is all this hype about the RCS? we already have tons of instant messaging apps (most importantly WhatsApp) that surpass the RCS in many ways.
From Romania and got it to work ! N976B
Weird.. I'm on T-Mobile and it's been working for me up to this point.. Now things are being sent as SMS all of a sudden. Still shows as connected though.. Weird..
Never mind.. My buddy I was messaging must be having issues. He's on Sprint but has been able to use RCS without any hacks and using the default Samsung Messaging app .. Weird.
so you never had it before? I had this since the start of the year. My son's Note 9, my wife's and daughter's S10 and my N10+ has this without jumping through those hoops. Just download google messages, it gives an option for RCS and that's it.
All our phones are unlocked Snapdragons so I'm not sure if that matters but you all should just download the google messages app first before doing all that crap for RCS.
I tried it and it worked on my Note 10+ but for some reason my son using his iphone 11 Pro Max couldn't send me any pictures through text and wasn't receiving any i sent.. I switched back to the stock Samsung message app and we could both send and receive txt and pictures?? I'm guessing AT&T has setup as I can send a txt to my buddy using my Note 10+ and I believe he has Galaxy s10 and using the stock messaging app I can see when its delivered, read, and when he types..
Working for me. But I got nobody use it with so far

Thanks, even if a would rather have RCS with the native app.
For some reason for the life of me I can't get this to work. Anybody have any tips or tricks. I have read the instructions over and over again and still can't get it to work.
after set up and working, can activity launcher be uninstalled?

Question Android Virgin Seeking Advice

Hello, new to the forum and new to Android after 20+ years of Iphones. I have had the Zfold4 now for a few months, it has been a BIG LEARNING CURVE but enjoying it and loving the phone. Looking for what platform or app are you using and would recommend for calls, messaging, and voicemail. Please forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question, just an Android virgin that needs some help. Thank you in advance!
I just use what the zfold4 came with. The stock dialer, the stock messaging (which is provided by google), and the stock voicemail - which in my case is the t-mobile visual voicemail. I have tried others but frankly it seems fine the way it came. The cool thing about the google messaging app is that you can also use it from a browser so you can get send/receive messages from you computer as well. I tend to use the facebook messenger for most of my video chats.
Stock apps work fine but Android gives you many options. I will say I have What's App loaded for the friends and family that are on iPhones for messaging and video. I absolutely love this form factor and while I have kept my Note 20 as a backup, I don't see myself going back to the old style.
I use stock apps too. They're working nice. For messeging i use signal instead of WhatsApp but I'm on the minor side. At least all of my friends use signal as second messenger beside WhatsApp.
For Video-Calls i use mostly Signal and Discord.
