Did anyone LOOSE the ability to read e-mail after the recent update?

I updated my Gear Manager software from 1.4.102802 to 1.5.111304.
After this update, I can no longer read e-mail (Exchange) received from my Gear. Before the update, I was able to read the messages received via the stock E-Mail app on my S4. Now, I only get a notification of a message. If I tap the message, I only get the date and time with the option to tap "Show on device."
Thanks!

Yes. There's a thread here with a link to the 1.2 apk. Remove gear manager, install 1.2, turn off auto updates in gear manager 1.2, and you're good to go. I reset my watch for good measure; I don't know if that is necessary though.
Edit...i didn't know there was a 1.4. I am now using 1.2 and it is fine, but email and messaging from the stock app are all I use the watch for.

Check my sig for several versions of Gear Manager

Thanks for your help guys. I didn't want to roll back to 1.2 since the Gear was working fine with 1.4.
I located the 1.4 APK on the Aptoide app store: uninstalled 1.5 from my S4, installed 1.4, reset Gear, re-synced the devices, sent a few test e-mail's and notifications with readable text is back.
This seems like quite the f'up on Samsung's part.

It's not clear yet whether this is a mistake or whether exchange mail will never be readable via the stock client as part of a broad security policy. I hope it's a mistake.

I hope it's a mistake, too. If Samsung permanently removes the ability to read Exchange mail, it's a deal breaker and the Gear will make its way back to Amazon.
Samsung: Please don't screw this up.

They won't read this forum. Send email to:
[email protected]
And complain. That's the developer contact email.

Still can't view Google Hangout messages on gear

Even after the update today...I can't view Google Hangout notifications on my gear....omg

After the update, did you enable the additional notifications in the gear manager? if you click on notifications, at the bottom there is a 'more notifications' toggle, which then allows you to have any app installed (that would normall have notifications in your task bar) send their notifications to the gear.
This worked for me. I can read the messages from hangouts without any issue at all. I also have facebook notifications and such shown on the watch as well.

I'm having the same issue I'm on wicked v9 now with a samsung galaxy s4 for t-mobile and I don't see a "more notifications" tab anywhere just a notification tab. It has hangout on it but it only opens the app on the phone.

Yep mine is the same as Ragnarkov. ..don't have more notifications. ..maybe I have to wait for another update

The latest version available to me on the Samsung App Store. Both Note 3 and Gear are full stock, no rooting.
Attached screen caps of how it shows up on my phone. Not sure if it would be different on a different carrier variant, different roms, or different phones etc.

I am actually shocked. I honestly thought software-wise (with any OTA/Kies updates) we recieved them at the same time. I usually check for availability with AT&T or another american provider because the ones here in Canada are TERRIBLE at giving out updated information.
Sorry I couldn't be of help

Are you running an alternate rom on your note 3? Or are you using an s4 or note 2 perhaps? I'm using a stock, fully updated note 3 here in Canada (bought on and sold by bell) with a fully updated gear directly from samsung brick and mortar store.
I still am stumped. I could have sworn American providers got all software updates at same time as, or earlier than, Canadian providers.
I have heard that you needed all software/firmware updated in order for all notifications to show and work. If your gear manager is same version as mine, is your gear firmware same as well?
I attached a picture of my firmware on the gear to compare. The end part I'd the most important, the MK7 part. That's the latest firmware from what I know available to everyone in North america, or so I've been lead to believe.

TO HELP US :
activate patern on the galaxy gear
on your phone
FOR HANGOUT ONLY :
remove any SMS software (Go SMS, and others)
Because it was the problem for me... (but i will give you a solution after)
activate hangout SMS
Go to options, SMS, and activate Notifications and Vibrate
On the gear manager, go to Notification, more, and check "Hangout"
Go to Hangout, send a message to your own phone number to test it, and wait 1 or 2 minutes to validate if it's okay
FOR GO SMS :
Go to Hangout (if you have) and uncheck the SMS option
Go to GO SMS, settings, "advanced", and UNCHECK other SMS softwares in the section "other settings"
return in "settings", go to "notifications" , check "enable notifications"
go to "defaut notification settings" , and uncheck "vibrate"
Now you can use GO SMS on your phone and receive the notifications from the stock SMS software on your gear
The only one problem is you will receive 2 notifications on your phone, (but only one vibration)
Sorry if the paths and names are not the same in english for you, because my phone is set in French...

Nothing here in UK yet.

Does anyone have the official changelog from Samsung ? Trying to decide if its worth a base update.
I have had a look at the firmware, doesn't look like any new features per say have been added.
In saying that tho, if its more battery friendly or what ever it may be worth the update,
EDIT: Perhaps even if someone could upload there build.prop !

No update for me either

@fOmey - Attached is my build.prop file. Just updated to ML1, Still running 4.2.2
I also upload the extracted apps as well if you want to look into them.
No changes from what I see. Everything looks and functions the same. Not sure on battery life yet.
Update. I noticed I downloaded the apps wrong. They are missing the odex files. I will re download them and repost them later today. (I will just grab the whole app folder this time and zip it for ya) Download new Apps from here - Zippyshare.com

I had this same issue on the Gear 2 Neo and the updated templates did not push to the watch until I modified ALL of the templates. Initially, I only wanted to edit a few of them and nothing changed on my watch...even after restarts. After going back to edit the others as well, the watch was immediately refreshed with the new templates (with no restart or any further action). Odd, but it is what it is.

Using my Gear 2 Neo with my LG G2

Hi, I just got a Gear 2 Neo and instead of using it with my Galaxy S4, I decided to use it with my LG G2. Just wanna share my experience here for someone else has the need which is similar to mine.
I could get it working with my LG G2 with full notification by installing the following APK of Gear Manager: http://www.mediafire.com/download/yo17ta4qyrx50zj/GearManager1_2.apk
However, without the ability to install S-Health, my activities like step counts, heart rate... doesnt get to be synced to my phone. And one more thing, I could check the update and found the new update but when I chose to install, the app got forced closed.
Love the Gear 2 Neo so far!!!

Have any of you tried Gear Manager version 1.7.040401 on your non Samsung phone? I keep getting an error when I try to (re)pair my HTC M8 with the Gear 2 Neo.
It works just fine with the Gear Manager posted on the OP, though (aside from the crashes when I try to update the Gear 2 Neo).

Crashes in the update software is understandable, we don't have samsung store... It works flawlessly here using the op apk.
A few minor glitches left, like s -health not working or notification for some apps showing only the app name and not the content (xabber for example), some missing apps like weather (tw dependancy), or no way to install third party apps like the sleep tracker (nobody released it, it's only on samsung store).
Appart from above, all functions of the watch are supported and working !

With the Galaxy Manager posted on the OP, the Gear 2 Neo will *probably* work out of the box. I said probably, because I've only tested it with the HTC One M8. I don't have any other Android phone I can test with at the moment.
To be fairly honest, I haven't spent too much time checking out all the features that work (and don't), but if I recall correctly:
• Notifications from the phone will be forwarded to the G2N just fine; this includes most third party applications (like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Hangouts, etc.)
• Contacts and Dialer, and I was able to make a call from the G2N (this goes through my M8)
• Find My Device (both G2N and M8 can "ping") each other
What doesn't work:
• Gallery (doesn't show any picture at all)
• Music Player (to be honest, not sure what it really does either)
• S-Voice will not work, in any under circumstances with non-Samsung phones, due to missing dependencies (TouchWiz Framework, and the S-Voice itself, which also relies on TouchWiz).
• Gear Updater, which crashed whenever you try to update your Gear through Gear Manager. There might be alternative ways to update your G2N though… but that's just theories at the moment.
• Weather, as it also relies on another Samsung-only app.
Limited Functionality
• Pedometer, Sleep Tracker, Exercise and other S-Health related features are limited to just the G2N. You can still record the data, but you can't sync or send it to the phone, as the these S-Health related data can only be viewed using S-Health (and this is limited to just Samsung phones only)
I can't remember what the latest update for the G2N is, but I believe it added Sleep Tracker (which has Do Not Disturb mode on it, or whatever the Samsung equivalent to DND)

Maybe you could sync using s-health lite posted on xda with the latest g2n fw. It was not working with mine but I don't have sleep tracker nor DND so I must have an earlier fw...

It seems that S-Health Lite has another dependencies related to Samsung Account; because it appears that it wants me to log-in to Samsung Account. And without logging in, the app is useless and not pulling/displaying data from the G2N.
Edit:
I went into a Rogers store and I updated my G2N using their S5, so I am on the latest firmware.

I got it to connect to my LG G2 and I get no notification pushed to the watch. Nothing is being pushed to the watch for notification. I can place a call with the gear but nothing else.
