Text Messaging on the Moto 360

I had this problem when using the default messaging app. Switched to Google Hangouts and now all is well.

 

Yes swap to hangouts. works great!\

 

I was wondering why there wasn't any reply button. Great, I'm not a big fan of Hangouts.

 

Reply to a text or Hangouts message

Yeah, when I swipe to the left to see more options, only one that comes up is "Open on phone." I don't know if it's a Samsung limitation or not, but not a deal breaker for me.

WhatsApp has awesome options as compared to text, which is really cool. Only thing is, only a handful of peeps I know use whatsapp.

 

Hmm. I have Nexus 5 using Hangouts, works great.

 

I'm not using hangouts, but the link you posted mentioned reply via sms or hangouts.

 

Oh the joy of being a crash test dummy/early adopter.

I think I will stick around and *grow* with the M360 though, I see potential in the future! :cheers:

 

Microsoft's Android Wear keyboard has you drawing every letter

anyone try this?

 

I can't see this being even close to as fast as dictation. And if you're in a quiet environment where you can't dictate, pull out your phone to respond. Android Wear is not meant to have a keyboard, it's not a phone, it's a watch.

 

If that was the Minuum I would have been all over it.

 

I just got my 360 last night and sent a text using the watch. On my stock S4 SMS app, it showed 2 identical messages and the recipient did get 2 messages. I haven't switched over to hangouts completely on the S4 and I dont want to if I don't have to. Has anyone experienced this with still using the stock SMS app on their android phone?

thanks in advance

 

I tried Textra and Google Messgener. So far I prefer Messenger, but LG stock messenger on my G3 did not give me too many issues (other than no distinct notification tones, which the other two fix as well) . I am sticking with google messenger since its my belief that google would make sure it has the best compatibility with wear (you get a message conversation history on the watch with first swipe).

 

I've been using Messenger for a while now, no issues at all.

 

Yup, it works fine with Lollipop's default Messenger sms app.

 

I use Textra for SMS and I'm given the option to reply by voice.

 

I use Textra as well. It's amazing! I love the fact textra allows me to respond to mass group messages.

I read an article about a texting app called coffee messenger located in the play store. It's actually pretty sick!

 

I just tried Textra and like it!

I now have the option to respond to SMS on my Moto 360. Only thing I noticed is that it automatically sends the message you speak without the option to cancel/confirm (in case it doesn't get the speech right). Is there an option to set the cancel/confirm?

thanks

 

I use Textra and have the option to cancel the message within a few second after speaking it. ...unless something has recently changed that I didn't notice. If I'm thinking correctly, it shows the word cancel with a circle around it that is disappearing. If you hit cancel in time you are good. If not, you are too late. But I will go double check to see if that's still the case.

I did just reply to a text via my watch using Textra. Indeed, you can cancel the message within a time limit.

I will experiment and try just initiating and sending a text (not just replying) and see if the same option is available.

 

I have found that when using "OK, Google, Send Text to *******, (insert text message here)", I cannot find the text I sent on my phone. If I reply to a text I can easily find it using any of the SMS apps on my phone (ie Hangouts, Stock App, Go SMS, Chomp, etc). However, when sending a new one (not a reply), it doesn't appear anywhere.

Anyone know where these go and/or how to find them????
