Using the Samsung email app but also not getting texts
Reminder, if the phone is on, you will not get a notification to the Gear.

Being on different carrier should not matter, I am on Tmobile. Go into the Gear app-settings-notifications, make sure you have that turned on and then hit the word notification to go into submenu and check native email and text apps.
Next, put the phone to sleep, turn it back on, send yourself a text and put phone to sleep right away. Give it about a minute and the text should ring on the phone and in the Gear.
haha you have to turn them on
go to the galaxy gear app on the phone, click settings, click notifications and select messages and mail then hit the thank button for me! haha
Have you checked the notification settings inside the Galaxy Gear Manager program?

Are you sure you have a note 3 and not a Chinese knockoff tote 3
Its directly from Verizon so you never know what scam they have up their sleeve to save a few bucks. I have tried to re pair up the device and same results. Any one have Verizon here?

When you created the gmail account in native email app, did you do manual set up or auto? You may want to delete the account, recreate it by selecting auto after you enter the email address and password. On the next screen, there is a drop down box, select PUSH. Try this, send yourself an email from PC or something, keep the phone asleep and see if you get the notification on the phone followed by notification on Gear. Make sure under the Gear app settings, notifications for email is checked.
Report back if not working.

I receive the text less than a second after my phone gets it. Literally my pocket buzzes and by the time I look down at my watch it vibrates. Then I can read it and reply back with s voice . Not a single problem. I'm in love with both devices.

Yep, and to be honest I didn't do anything special. I'm using the stock messaging app and email. I just took it out of the box and used it.

I start the morning off good with messages coming through, but then a few hours in they stop, and it is getting really annoying.... I am on latest gear manager and everything....anyone else have this issue? Or know of a fix?
If I can't consistently get messages to my watch, it is worthless.

I agree, that would make it worthless to me to.
I had problems with text notifications etc at first myself.
It took me a while to realize that for notifications to make it to the watch, I had to be running the stock messaging app (I had been using HandCent for years) & the phone screen had to be off at all times.
I installed the modded version of the stock TW messaging that has a toggle for screen on/off when a message came in. After switching to that (plus using the Samsung email app as opposed to GMAIL), I now get all my gear notifications almost instantly and I love the thing.
I also loaded my custom ringtones to the gear so it will ring a lot louder.

I installed the inverted MMS app. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

It could I suppose, I have found that absolutely anything that turns the screen on will block the notification from getting through to the watch.
I don't use a lockscreen (I just go straight into the phone from the home screen/power buttons)
I saw a post from someone saying that lock widgets will mess up the gear but I don't know if it's true.
I know mine works perfectly and I'm not updating ANYTHING at this point!!

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.

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.

i had the same issue,
but now it works fine...
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...

Im using a note3 together with the gear, latest null rom and gear manager. I found when I receive a new email, I can only see the title of the email then I had to get my note3 to check the mail, Is there a way to show all email content in gear instead of just title? ( I use the stock note3 email app)
Thanks
It only shows you whatever you see in the notification panel on your phone
