[Q] How to sync note 3 with outlook 2010?

The Kies 3 don't have the option for sync with outlook. Anyone know how to sync note 3 with outlook? Please help. Thanks.

I have a case open with Samsung support in the UK about this.
They advise the Sync Tab in Kies 3 is missing, and that their software engineers are working on it, and that it will be installed in the future.
However support people generally know less than customers so I will believe it when I see it.
Meanwhile if anyone spots an updated version of Kies 3 internationally with this attached please advise.
The Note 3 doesn't work with Kies 2 which is annoying and asks for Kies 3, which I found on the Samsung UK website.

@ fonejacker - I'm with you on this mate....
So on top of the fact business users/travelers can no longer go outside their designated area...in my case Europe...and use a USA sim for example due to territory blocking...we cannot do a sync with Outlook using Kies 3....after just parting with £600 GBP for this phone its seems a bit much!
However as I have upgraded from a Note 1....the tech is awesome on Note 3 by comparison....I feel forced to accept these missing elements...
A statement from Samsung saying that 'not a lot people use this feature' is because those that used Outlook sync never complained it was missing!! lol
peace
Dok

Here ya go. This should do the trick.

same goes for S4
I was just offered an upgrade for my S4 to Android 4.3. I upgraded. When I tried to sync my calendar, I was told I needed to upgrade to Kies 3. I did and now I also cannot sync. I'm very disappointed in Samsung for this. I hope they fix it soon.
Update: I also cannot back up my phone. Backup does not back up in the order shown in the backup items list. I am able to get through Contacts, S Memos, S Planner, Videos, Music and Photos. Miscellaneous content files fails and Call log hangs forever. I tried disabling those last two and then it hung on something else instead.

Same issue with my S4

no help from Samsung customer service
I just called Samsung customer service in Singapore. They apologized a dozen times but have no information about when the "improvement" to Kies 3 will be ready so we can sync and backup again.

Any new updates on this? Not being able to sync the Note 3 with Outlook is a huge inconvenience.

Mine syncs with all of my exchange accounts.

The problem is people using outlook not aways (I believe mostly not) upload their address book onto outlook.com because of security and privacy issues.

KIES 3 synchro with contacts/calendar Outlook
Have big issue with the above. No alternative to get any synchro with contacts and calendar from Outlook as before. Does anybody knows when Samsung/Kies will have the alternative done with Kies 3 ?. If any other solution, please let me know.
Best regards

Same for my Note-2 just upgraded to 4.3, I was requested to upgrade to version 3 and now have no Outlook synch...
how can somebody expect that in a professional word nobody uses Outlook and does not keep its Schedule and Contacts always in synch ?

Any news from your side because this becomes very stupid to not have the possibility to synchronize anymore. I believed we were in the 21st, century ???

Outlook problem
I have just upgraded my phone to 4.3 and Kies 3.0, and have just found out that I can no longer sync my phone with Outlook. I cant believe that Samsung could sell a premium product which is designed both for personal and business use without this important function. Has anyone found a solution, or this phone now redundant as a business tool?

Can't send exchange emails after update

I could use a little help. After updating to 4.3 I can no longer send emails on my exchange account. Everything else syncs. I get emails, calendar, contacts, etc. I even went to Sprint and they sent me a replacement phone. So, I tested it out. I set everything up pre-update. Everything worked. I took the update and got the exact same result. So, it's either the update or a setting on the exchange server side that only interferes with the 4.3 update. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

4.3 update right? Just to be sure since you mention 2.3 twice which got me confused a bit.
Just check exchange send and receive working fine for me on 4.3

I really think its on my company's server side, but of course they don't agree.

Have you tried removing the exchange account and readding maybe?

Yes, same results on two different phones. Everything is fine before update on both, and the update won't allow me to send emails on either phone.

I've always found that the nag (from inside the email client) about activating security settings for Exchange is unreliable, and doesn't always cause the appropriate 'system level' Android dialog to pop up after you click OK to proceed from the nag inside the email client.
I just played with settings in my Exchange account on my Nexus 7, and got the security settings nag from inside the email client a few times, but it only (finally) displayed the appropriate 'system level' activation prompt after a few tries, deleting account, adding account, etc...
When the security settings activation does work, you should see a notification in the system notification area, and confirming that (system level nag) seems to do the trick.
I hope that makes sense.

Touchdown emails notification truncated

I'm running Gear Manager 1.5.120903 and Software UAMK7 on Note 3. I'm considering returning my gear because i don't not get full body notifications from Touchdown, my work email exchange client, I do get the title of the emails but to see the full body I have to go manually into the app on the watch. On the other hand gmail works just fine. Any fixes?
I understand the Sony SWII gives full email content notifications.

I believe that it is because your Outlook server has security settings that make it that way. Mine did. Also made it so I had to have a lock screen with a pin code to unlock.
I Google searched Outlook no pin for android 4.3 and found a solution that worked. I had to flash a zip file.
Anyways. I think the issue is with your email server. Not the watch...

Thanks but can't root my phone as IT can tell. However why does Sony S2 work? Just bought one today and the touchdown email comes thru as a notification complete with entire email body

My company changed over to requiring Maas360 and TouchDown for accessing the 2010 Exchange Server. I poked around through the TouchDown settings to find the new server address and was able to setup my work account using the stock email app. TouchDown is still installed but pretty much disabled. I have had no issues with my work email account and get most of the email body on my gear. Don't know if this will work for you, but it's worth a shot.

I'm fairly certain that this is because Touchdown isn't specifically designed to work with the Gear, and as a result it's just trying to do its best. If Nitrodesk updated their software to specifically communicate with the Gear it'd work ok. You may want to send them a request email, I'm probably going to.

[Q] Email failure after disabling magazine

Month old note 3.
Disabled magazine and now get email message "unfortunately, email has stopped" I see from threads elsewhere that this is the issue.
I DO NOT WANT magazine. Is there someway to eliminate all the junk on this phone without killing the apps that work. I thought my Atrix was bad but it isn't nearly as crammed as this phone. I have 26 apps turned off, and some more that wont give me the option. I use this device for work, not play, and only want the apps I need.
Samsung please fix!!! Give us an option to unload all the crap with the next update. You are killing a really nice phone.
Anyone have a work around??????

What email service are you trying to use? If it's hotmail or yahoo, use the Outlook, or yahoomail app instead of stock email app. Gmail works fine with magazine crap removed.

Thanks I switched to the gmail and yahoo apps and for those accounts. Need to find a suitable outlook replacement. The corporate sync that came with phone still crashes and burns.
Thanks and Peace!

I have that also... I froze Magazine with TiBU. When I get the email crash, it will often open the 2nd or 3rd time.

Mine also opens on the 2nd or 3rd try but it is too much of pain. I haven't had time to try another outlook app yet (don't know which is a good one).I hope they fix it soon, my wife needs a new phone for work too, and if this isn't resolved we wont get a Samsung.

No haven't tried anything for outlook yet. The only mail account I have to move is the one on a corporate exchange server. Need to make sure what ever I substitute is secure (as well as can be expected that is). Nothing cloud based.

Try this: you can PW protect the app and or leave out the PW.

Autoupdate to 1.6 Gear Manager

Hello Guys,
I wanted to share my experience here with the latest Gear Manager update to version 1.6.
The main reason why I am using and keeping the Galaxy gear is the email notification not having to pull out my cell phone in meetings and check my email. I can discretely check the email and see if an email is important enough to pull out my cell phone or my laptop.
I didn't like the fact that there is no internet, etc on the Gear and I was also disappointed that the app amount is so limited compared to Google Play not to mention that Gear 2 is out not even 6 months after the Gear.
Anyway, with the latest Gear Manager 1.6 the email feature became useless as the message came up with "Due to security reasons this email cannot...". I tried everything with restore, etc to make the feature work again but I failed.
So then I went out there and installed NULL ROM 23 with the custom recovery and the email feature still didn't work.
Then I downloaded Gear Manager 1.7 and the email feature still didn't work.
The ONLY way to get my email working again on the Gear was to deinstall Gear Manager on the phone and upload via ADB the Gear Manager version 1.5. Now I have NULL ROM 23 with TWRP and Gear Manager 1.5 and my email is working again.
I don't know what Samsung is thinking but they sold over 80.000 devices between September 2013 and November 2013 and by January 2014 they had sold over 500.000 Gear devices worldwide. With $300 a pop that's $150M revenue.
Such a behavior of making THE most important feature of the Gear useless is like telling 500.000 people that we are using the Gear as a test ground and we don't care what you guys think.
I hope that my experience above will help other people facing the same issue and how to get their email working again but I should also point out that once you have your Gear email working again, you might want to disable the "Autoupdate" feature within Gear Manager.

thanks for sharing this! there is a general one rule - if something works the way you expect it - do not even try to update. i've done it way too many times.

I'm using the galaxy gear with the stock installation and latest updates on both the Gear rom and Gear manager, and I can read all my emails (including Exchange server emails).

Gear Manager 1.6.13 and Gear ROM NA6 (just released in the US yesterday, it also worked fine on MK7 which is what was released in December I believe)
I'm not sure what is meant by 'secure' emails, but it was my understanding that this issue was only occurring for exchange server emails. It's working fine for me, though (with Exchange server emails).

Yes, I was referring to Exchange emails. Gmail, SMS, etc worked fine but with the latest update emails stopped working. They gave us a new bundled view of the emails but removed the ability to read those emails on the Gear. I tried it multiple times even with factory reset but every email was secured and could only be viewed on the cell phone but not on the gear.

This update sucks I need my corporate exchange emails on my gear. Is there an easy way to get it working again? Can I just flash the old software to the gear with kies?

As I stated above. The easiest way to get this working again is to:
1) Uninstall Gear Manager 1.6 via Settings and Application Manager which will take a while until all submodules are uninstalled
2) Download the Gear Manager 1.5 APK for your region
3) Install Gear Manager 1.5 via KIES or ADB (SDK) by using adb install
4) Once installed uncheck the "autouprade" checkbox in the Gear Manager settings

The only Gear Manager that has been able to reliably work for me is 1.2.131013. Any other version would fail for me after just one reboot.

So i have null 21 on my watch and I am also using Gear Manager 1.5.123002
I have the email app that came with the null rom configured with my gmail account and I also have the gmail app install on my watch too. I was able to sideload the gmail2.apk onto my watch.
One thing I am wondering though...has anyone been able to get email notifications to work on their gear manager with these email apps?
Is there a way to setup with Gear Manager to get an email notification?
I was wondering if anyone has figured anything like that out...or is the only way to check with the gmail app or stock email app (which requires an internet connection) ?
Thanks again...

Depending on the version of GM you're using, GMail notifications can be enabled under either Notifications or Settings/Notifications. Also, if you can bluetooth tether to your phone, you can install a lot of apps directly.

Well i know for a fact that gmail notifications are not available on the gear manager 1.5.123002
My wireless provider does in fact offer bluetooth tethering...so i guess i am going to have to upgrade my gear manager.
I am a bit concerned because this gear manager has been working great with my watch + null 21 rom

I don't see how it doesn't work. 1.2.131013 is obviously an earlier version and Gmail notification works with that.

You know what I was just looking at Gear Manager and under the "more notifications" section I saw that somehow it had been turned "off".
And on the list of "more notifications" is the default email account. I also selected gmail as part of the notifications under the "more notifications" list.
I configured the default email app with my yahoo email and i turned "on" more notifications in gear manager.
Hopefully this will start giving me email notifications....

Ok so yesterday my phone installed the latest version of Gear Manager and my Gear was flashed and rebooted. After the reboot I can no longer read exchange emails. It says it can't show the emails because of security reasons. This is the entire reason I bought the Gear. I get about 350-400 emails a day and it's convenient to preview them on the watch instead of the phone for every email. Can anyone help me get email working again on the Gear? Also, will this be a problem on the Gear 2 I just ordered? Thanks very much in advance.

I did post in this thread how you can get your email for Exchange working again.
With that said here is another update:
I purchased the S5 Galaxy SM-G900T and it installs by default Gear Manager 1.7. This version comes up with the same error message that Exchange emails cannot be viewed on the Gear but only on the phone.
I did chat with support from Samsung and here is the emailed transcript:
Visitor: Samsung S5 SM-G900T
Visitor: Brand new since today
Visitor: Android version 4.2.2
Visitor: Sorry, 4.4.2
Visitor: Typo
Visitor: Galaxy Gear model SM-V700
Visitor: Anything else you need?
Daisy: Thank you for explaining.
Daisy: May I place you on hold for 3 minutes, while I gather the information on your request?
Visitor: sure. I just want my Exchange emails to be readable again on my Gear watch. Take your time.
Daisy: Thank you.
Daisy: Thank you for holding.
Daisy: As the issue started after upgrading the device to S5. It could be the compatibility issue.
Daisy: I can see that the S5 will support the gear 2 version.
Visitor: So you are saying that the Gear 1 is no longer supported with the S5?
Visitor: Is this what you are saying?
Daisy: Yes, you are correct.
Visitor: If this is the case then I will throw the gear one right back at Samsung because you sold 800.000 Gear one watches since September 2013 and 6 months later you discontinue support with the new S5 and just to remind Samsung paying $300 for a watch is not something trivial.
Daisy: I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
Visitor: thanks. I will escalate this properly. Have a nice day.
Daisy: Thank you for your feedback about this issue.
I just uninstalled Gear Manager 1.7 and I installed Gear Manager 1.5 and my Exchange emails are working again on my Gear 1.
