Textra, yes or no

[trucksmoveamerica#AC]

I've seen a lot saying you can not reply to text messages from the gear s if you are using textra, but I thought i seen someone say you can reply now using textra. Can't find where I found that at now, if it required the use of a app, or what.

So, can anyone tell me if you can reply/compose text messages using textra as your texting app? And it looks like you can also get MMS delivered to the watch.

I will be using the gear s via Bluetooth only, will not be getting it's own number due to unlimited data, if that makes a difference.

Thanks

I'm using Textra , a Note 5 and the Gear S. You can see Textra notifications in the Gear S and Reply a message but cannot sent a new text message. if you dismiss the notification, then you cannot longer see the icon or a screen for Textra.

I now have your setup. I am using textra also. You are correct you can reply to a textra message when you get one.

You can send a new message thru textra if you go thru the contacts in the watch. Just select the contact and then select the envelope icon and type the message and send.

Thank you for that tip

I have the Samsung Gear (original version). I can get textra notifications but can't seem to reply or initiate from a contact. Is it supported?

I have a similar set up - I use Textra as my default SMS app, Note 5, and the new Gear S2.

I have to use Textra as my default SMS app because the stock Android Samsung text app cannot handle the volume of texts I have - I don't like to delete my old conversations, and the default Samsung SMS app just locks up and freezes due to the high volume of texts I keep.

Textra works great on my phone.

The problems I'm facing are with my Gear S2:

1) I can't seem to be able to open the texts that come in. I get the notification - and I can even reply to the message - but I can't open the incoming message and read it. I touch it with my finger the message won't open.

and

2) When I do reply - i replied to one just now using the voice to text function - it says it sends it, i see it as sent in the conversation on my phone (not just on the watch), but the person i sent it to never received it!

Does anyone have solutions for either of these issues?

Thanks!

You should post it in Gear S2 forum. This is for original Gear S.
