Can't Get Google Text notifications

[recDNA]

Hi all! I am trying to switch from Samsung's message app to Google Messages so I can receive and send texts from my tablet or computer as well as my watch and phone.

I got everything set up working perfectly with Google text on watch and phone and tablet and computer. They all send and receive fine.

Problem is although I have notifications turned on for Google Messages in Samsung's Wear app for watch but no notifications! The messages are there in the watch but no way to know when a new one comes in.

I tried everything I can think of.

Has anyone got the Google text notifications working in watch?

All my other notifications work fine. I emailed Google and they said call Samsung!

Anyone else have Galaxy watch and using Google Messages through a Samaung phone?

If I remember awhile back someone had this issue with Google messages and watch , Samsung message no issues, I would report it to Samsung in the meantime we see if other members have a work around.

How do I report to Samsung?

Members app and can report in the Google messages in settings

I already reported to Google. They say tell Samsung. I imagine Samsung will tell me to use theit own app or tell Google.


I have found articles about it on the net but their fixes don't work.

It's a shame. Google Messages allows me to send rcs from my tablet. Samsung messages has that function blocked by vzw.

Ah .. probably be best get the unlock version on Verizon or flash it to unlock version

Samsung messages comes on their phones and tablets. Why would I flash it?

Google messages works in every way except notifications on G5 watch.

Because what you mentioned with VZW blocking on Samsung messages rcs.

Samsung messages works fine on VZW devices if they are VZW devices. My tablet is WIFI only Samsung messages can't be set up. I get a message in setup of Samsung messages on tablet that VZW won't allow it to send and receive my VZW texts.

I'm actually surprised it lets me send texts from my tablet using Google Messages but it does. Google messages works on tablets and computers as well as vzw cell phone but to work phone must choose Google messages as default text app which brings me back to notifications from GM don't work on Galaxy watches.

Bottom line is I can look at texts in my tablet OR get text notifications on my Galaxy watch, not both.

Gotcha, what about Verizon message plus app?

That's the one I'd have to flash on tablet but I imagine it can't work on a non vzw device even it it has their software. It sounds like theft of services to flash their app and use it even if it did work. That I wouldn't mess with.

The only advantage of Google Messages is that it works on anything.

~I have the Watch 6 Classic 43mm Bluetooth. (Galaxy s22 Ultra unlocked on T-Mobile)

~Husband has the Watch 6 Classic 47mm Bluetooth (also a Galaxy s22 Ultra unlocked on T-Mobile)

The notifications for Google Messages work on both our watches. I know this isn't going to help you, but the notifications are working for us. Also works on my Watch 3 Bluetooth model.

Did you try to reset the watch and see if that works?

I also use Google messages with the S23 and Watch 5 pro. Everything works perfect. I'm on TMo towers through Mint Mobile. Seems as this is a Verizon issue.

I'd rather join the French Foreign Legion than do a reset. Then 5 things that work now won't work.
