Firmware 3.3 SMS/MMS Notifications - No Content

Former Member
Former Member
I've only noticed two things with the move to FW 3.30 so far:
1) I did not receive notifications of MMS messages (and messages with multiple recipients) on my Vivoactive 3. I do now. That is a good thing.
2) I do not have the ability to view the content of SMS or MMS messages on my Vivoactive 3. I did before. That's less of a good thing.

When the notification appears on my VA3, it looks like attached image VA_330_1.

When I tap the notification, I used to get the content of the message, now it looks like attached images VA_330_2 and VA_330_3. Tapping again does nothing.

My only options are:

Block App

Reply presents the automatic replies I've configured. The remaining menu options behave as expected.

Is there a setting somewhere to re-enable the SMS/MMS content? That was one of the primary reasons I moved from the Vivosmart 3 to the Vivoactive 3, and I would really love to have that back. When I'm on long rides, and my wife texts me, I want to be able to just look quickly at my wrist to see what the relative importance is, rather than pull over, dismount the bike, get out my phone, etc. etc. etc. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1317775.png ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1317776.png ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1317777.png

    I've resolved this issue.

    I was using Textra for my texting app on my Samsung S7.

    I uninstalled Textra and went to the default messaging app (cleverly called "Messages"), and the body of the messages have begun showing up again on my VA3.

    I tried reinstalling it, thinking it may have been a permissions thing, and SMS/MMS messages did not show up at all. I attempted the same with Chomp SMS, and messages did not show up at all.

    The default messaging app will be just fine. I don't need fancy, but I really want the body of the message on my VA3.
