Thanks, this sounds cool but pardon my confusion. Does this require internet tether to be active on the gear to use? :cyclops:

No it doesn´t, you can add your favourite recievers manually if you want to.
But if you want access to the contact list from your Google account your Gear needs to be synced, but only just once, then your contacts stays in the Gear.

Does this work on stock?

In theory, it would. No root is required.
But since there´s no keyboard to add a favourite manually and no Google contact list to pick a recipient from you can´t pick a phone number to send to.

Okay a dumb question but I figured I would ask. Install the app on the gear? Or on the phone? I am thinking the gear but wanted to make sure.

You´re right, on the Gear it is.

How do you sync the Google account to Native SMS? I'm on a non-rooted gear, but have installed Fleksy for a keyboard.

Will this only work on selected samsung phone or my sony z ultra which I have workng with gear manager.

Not possible. You need Internet on the Gear to sync, and that's only possible if you run null_
But if you have a working keyboard I assume you could add your favorites manually.

Can you answer to incoming sms with the notifications app?
If yes, it will probably work.

How do I sync google account?
Every time I try to "add an account" my google account to my gear. I get an error message and it closes before I can input my google account. I have rooted my gear with NULL and I have WonderShare to add all the apps I want. But I can't add an account to my gear. Anyone had this problem also?

You have to enable BT Tether before adding an account. So you have Internet on the gear.

I actually do have bt tethering on and internet active on my Gear. But what happens is that when I go to add and account and it asked to use existing account or new account, either choice I make it closes the app and gives me the "Unspected error happend and needs to close" error. So its more like a bug that keeps closing the google account adder before I can enter my account info. It might just be a bug on my gear and maybe re-rooting and reinstalling NULL on it can fix it. But I rather not go through that process just to add my google account to my Gear.

Well then I don't know, haven't had that issue myself.
Try ask the same question in the null_ FAQ-thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588143

Maybe I misunderstood the operation of this app, but you can do the same by slipping into the list of contacts on the contact you want to send the message.
Am I wrong?
Or maybe it comes from a recent update?

[Solved] Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server

The error is misleading as it has nothing to do with connections, i tried on 3G/H and WiFi, and simply because the phone sync just fine all the other google accounts in the phone, and can download/upload stuff without any connection error, Android Market and Apps Brain works fine as well.
before it was working fine i was able to add like 5+ accounts in there, i were able to delete and re-add accounts, but the last few days it has been unable to do that, due that error message.
but if i add the same account that worked, or those that failed on another SGS factory reset, then it works fine.
problem is.... i don't really want to re-install my 200+ apps in the phone....
I already tried wipe-ing the caches, it didn't help.
Any body else got a clue what else we can delete to reset the google accounts in the phone?
no body have seen this before?
Never had this problem but you can try to go to Settings> Applications > Manage Apps and find those from google and press clear cache and clear data

i did mentioned, it has already been done on the original message and it still gets that error message.
i even tried this app
CacheCleaner
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.lsartory.cachecleaner
it fixed up a lot of other stuff but not gmail accounts...
Got the same problem...even tried a factory reset and it still won't let me sign into my google account on the market.
Doing my head in now.
Logicalstep
I had that issue when I first tried to setup my account. I took out the SIM and just used WIFI to sign in and it worked.
Or you can try this:
1. adb remount
2. adb shell
3. su
4. rm /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I believe the above method will reset your home screens or something, so use at your own discretion. Details can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3477
ahh no, what that does is deletes
settings.db
from
com.android.providers.settings
it might work, but that will sucks as i'll have to reconfigure all the accounts again, doing that will delete all the accounts that are currently working.
the only time i had that issue i solved it by making sure that background data and auto-sync were checked in the general sync settings. without them being checked i could not add an account over wifi or cellular data. as soon as i checked those boxes i was back to normal
all my 7 other accounts are checked to sync everything
i'm trying to add a new account but it's giving me that weird error
even if delete an exisiting working account and try to re-add it back, then it gives me the same error
it definitely might have to do with the settings file getting corrupted or something
Have had the same problem and exact same messgae yesterday after I wiped my device. It wasnt until evening that I was able to log into my Google account and that was after doing another wipe form the phone settings instead of doing through the 3 button reset. Eveything works fine now but still can't understand why this happened.
I had the same problem yesterday, wiped using the 3 button and problem persisted. Wiped from device and now it works ;D

Same problem for me. I am trying to add a Google apps account and get this message.
Planning a full wipe with froyo so will try a device wipe instead of a Recovery Wipe
cheers

i'm also waiting for the froyo uprade
since froyo will delete everything, i might as well wait until then
not fun having to click OK install 410+ apps+games (that's around 800+ clicks ok to continue)
found the source of the problem
this will work fine as long as you DO NOT INSTALL the Samsung Push Email & IM from Samsung Apps
just recently i had to format my phone twice for software bugs when testing out new features in newly installed software
and both times i was able to add any amount of Gmail accounts i wanted into the phone, until i install the Samsung Push Email & IM, as soon as i do that, i lose the funtionality to add more gmail accounts into the phone.
The solution it's obvious, don't install Samsung Push Email & IM... if you want o be able to have the full feature gmail account added to the phone.
it's sad, as the Samsung Push Email & IM works really really good for IM and multi email accounts and you get it right as they arrive to gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc.
now i'm looking for 3rd party email and IM programs to replace Samsung Push Email & IM
i'll most likely go back to Fring and K9 until i can find something better
Same thing happened to me....but i found that of you add your account through YouTube and sync through there, it works. Weird but simple work around for me. Hope it helps.

I had two gmail accounts synced. I deleted one by accident, and when I tried to re-add my gmail account under gmail or settings (under accounts and sync) it would hang and give me the same error message as you. It wouldn't connect to Google even though my connection was fine. I did some research, and apparently it's not an uncommon problem. The workaround that exits is to register your Google account through your YouTube app, after which your gmail for that account will be synced now. Try it, it worked for me.

[Q] Calendar Application Replacement

Has anyone found a replacement App that will sync directly with your Google calendar account. I am currently runnining stock with the enhancement update. As you know the stock calendar will not sync with a Google calendar.
It seems that the calendar apps in the marked only enhance an existing active calendar.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

the stock calendar app does sync with google calendars...you must be logged in to your google account within the gTablet's google framework services (i.e., gmail, etc.)
Stock calendar syncs with my google account as well.

I have a stock tablet wit the performance pack installed (v2 I believe). My stock calendar does not sync with my Google account. I think the performance pack is missing some component that does the sync. This component may be in TnT Lite.

That is the same as what I have (v2) and it does not sync. If I had this working my tablet would be just about perfect. I was hoping to find something like K-9 mail only for the calendar.
If someone could explain how to make this sync with the stock & enhancement pack, please chime in.
Thanks!!
can't sync either
I have tnt enhancement v3.1.4b and can not sync with Google calendar either. It would make this tablet almost perfect. I also have an amazon mp3 issue signing in issue that I can't resolve, but that maybe another thread.

It does not appear so. Of course I may be doing something wrong. I went and found the "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk" and tried to install, it came back with a fail to install error.
Now what, perhaps drop the file in the correct folder (which is where) and reboot?
I find it hard to believe that most users don't want a fucntioning (with google) calendar on their Gtab with this issue being resolved.
Thanks!

if you have root, you can move the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk to your tablet's system\app
or
you can drop GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk into the enhancement update and reinstall the update
there are instructions everywhere
I highly recommend pure grid Calender widget. I run it both on my grab and my g2. If I add an event on the g2 when I run the grab it updates and adds said event. Its can be skinned and is just very handy. Check it out.

Is there a trial version? When I search the Market only a paid version shows up. Does it need an active calendar (on your GTab), or will it go out to Google and sync from there. I still have not been able to get a functioning calendar on my GTab.

use clockworkmod to install GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk (only) so that you can sync the stock calendar app with your google calendar (you must have gapps installed from another source; e.g., enhancement pack):

It will sync with Google in its own. I'm running vegan 5.1 and never touched the stock Calender. Just installed pure grid and set it up. It will ask what Calender you want to sync with and my Google one was there from setting up the market. I say buy and try. If you don't like I believe you will be able to get a refund if uninstalled within a certin period. You wont be disappointed.
EDIT: You can also sync mutiple calenders with pure grid. I have two google and also facebook events syncing with it.

[Q] POP3 mail sync problem

have you set up pop3 mail on the galaxy note? do you have problems?
I set it up to sync every one hour, but it seems to me it is never sync (except when I manually sync it). it hasn't sync itself for over a week. What's your experience? is there any other setting that can affect this behaviour?

The fun part is my GMAIL app on this device does not refresh until i do it manually. I have done all the settings that need to keep it as alive as a PUSH mail ...
I am not that keen on replying my GMAIL as it arrives, so NBD ..
let me know if you do find a solution...
looks like the Sync and notification system on the GNote is not very well implemented,waiting to see how things turn out in the promised ICS,meanwhile just get the official Microsoft email app from the Market called:Hotmail Seven+, this app will push the emails as they arrive.
And forget about the POP3 its nothing like the Iphone.
Set your gmail with email application
Here you have to go like this
add user id n pw of gmail
Now select manual setup
Select Microsoft active sync
Keep id n pw as it is
On swrver part there will b gmail.com, that you have replaced with m.google.com
Now next screen you can set push service n other setting as per you wish.
Hope it will real push mow.

Pop mail doesnt work
I have been reading these posts and I have a similar problem. I can get e-mail on my Nexus s (running 2.3.4). I have many post from different websites, followed their advice and I STILL CANT GET my pop mail to work. I have several accounts, one critical as I volunteer w/ search and rescue. I don't think I should have to convert to strictly G mail accounts, & shouldn't have to forward my mail to G mail either.I love this phone, looking forward to the system update, but this is so frustrating I almost want to ping this thing off the wall! Anybody had similar issues and actually managed to fix it?

I guess easy option is to use 3Rd party email app too configure your pop emails.
Use k9 or anything like that. There are lots of free apps in the play store for that

Ok, heres the update. My mail IS now working (after a fashion). I get a notification that I have mail. I can click on the mail in notifications, read it & reply. I can also, open my contacts list, select a contact & send mail no problem. The one issue I am having now is that if I get mail, it DOESN'T show up in my in box. My sent mail box shows the mail I have sent, but I only seem to be able to open my mail under the notifications tab. And even then, occasionally when I click on that mail, it just disappears. I have only had this Nexus S for a couple of weeks and so I imagine this is just growing pains for someone w/ their first smart phone. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

[Q] Log Out of Google Talk/Remain Invisible?

I'm trying how to figure out how I can permanently log out of Google Chat (not appear idle) or at least have the option to stay invisible. Ever since I upgraded to the Moto X, I get the following notification on the left bar of my gmail:
"Oops! You are not invisible because you're logged into Google Talk from another client, device, or location that doesn't support invisibility."
Previous suggestions (with other android phones) has shown that I can simply disable the 'Talk' app. However, that particular app does not appear on the Moto X. I've also tried disabling the 'Hangouts' app, yet I still appear idle even when I sign out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have GMail open on a desktop or Google+? You might be showing idle since you'd be logged in on your browser then.
Even when I'm logged out on my desktop, I still appear idle (yellow) on a colleagues computer. I guess my bigger issue is that prior to getting the Moto X - I never had to log out, as I could stay invisible.
Perhaps, I'll try to disable Google+ as well.
On my GMail, for chat if I click on my username there is a "Sign Out of Hangouts" option. You may need to do that in GMail and on Google+ to be actually offline.

Previous suggestions (with other android phones) has shown that I can simply disable the 'Talk' app. However, that particular app does not appear on the Moto X. I've also tried disabling the 'Hangouts' app, yet I still appear idle even when I sign out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've been having the same issue. I've tried disabling Google Hangout and signing out of google. I can't seem to find a solution for this either. Let me know if you have found a solution.
I may just have to reset my phone and sign out for a new google account. If any body has a smarter solution please do let us know

I have the same problem on Moto-X. I tried Factory reset and also deleting google+ account. Nothing helped :crying:
Same issue with nexus
Same issue here with Nexus 4
[Fixed] The ‘always online’ problem with Google Chat
In short, this is the problem: You try to go invisible in chat from your gmail and it says: “Oops! You are not invisible because you’re logged into Google Talk from another client, device, or location that doesn’t support invisibility.” No matter what you do – from signing out of all the devices/clients/locations to resetting your google account password, you STILL see the ‘oops’!
Frustrating. To the core!
Turns out that there are a number of reasons why your chat suddenly behaves this way. But the main point is that there is another (or are many other) session(s) of your chat active at that particular time. This spooky session(s) might be from a talk app on your mobile phone, the Hangout app, stand-alone Gtalk software, IM clients such as eBuddy, Trillian, etc. The idea is to end those invisible session(s), but you have no idea where that session is, right?
Don’t worry, there is a way to find that and it takes as much time as it will take you to download around 9Mb.
So, here are the steps:
1. Go ahead download pidgin, a third-party IM client and install it. We will use this client find out and force sign-out those ‘ghosts’ of your Gtalk!
2. Run the program after you install it. You will be asked to ‘Add‘ an account. Click it and select Google Talk from the drop-down menu and enter your gmail credentials. See the pic below:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Sign-in with your gmail credentials​
Sign-in with your gmail credentials
3. A successful sign-in will take you to the client and you will be able to see your contact list (called as Buddy list in pidgin)
4. Click on ‘Buddies‘ and select ‘Get user info‘ or you can just press Ctrl+I. This will give you a pop-up window as shown below. Type your gmail address in it and click OK.
Enter your Gmail id​
5. Wait for sometime while it fetches the information for you. Once it is done, you should see a window like the one below:
Enter your gmail id​
As you can see, this account has currently got 3 active session running (including the one from pidgin). Note the IDs given for the “Resource” entry. Copy the whole content into a notepad/word file. All these IDs indicate a specific device/client in which google talk is active.
6. Now Close this window. Click ‘Manage Accounts‘ and then select your account and delete it.
7. Now, repeat the ‘add account‘ process given in step 2. This time in addition to your gmail user name and password, give the ‘resource id‘ in the ‘Resource‘ section. Sign-in
8. Now, once you are in the main window of the application, set your status as ‘Offline’. Sign into gmail and try to set your status as invisible. If you are not getting the ‘oops…’ message, then you have done it! If you are sill getting it,then follow the above step with the other resource ids that you have seen (which you should have copied into the notepad/word file). Try them one-by-one till you are able to set your status as invisible in gmail chat.
That should do it!
Thanks to Keith for this helpful suggestion.

This worked only temporarily for me. Is there a way to trace back the "Resource" to see where it comes from and delete it altogeher?

Did you try to delete the account from pidgin after figuring out the resource id that was being used? Once you log into pidgin with your resource id, go offline and close the app but do not delete the account from pidgin itself. This way, the resource id is locked in use by pidgin and it has forced an offline state for that session. The moment you delete the account, the ghost session goes live again on some server.
MessagingA = Android
MessagingB = iOS
In my case, I deleted the Hangouts app from my ipad without signing out.

"If you are signed in to the Hangouts app on your mobile device, in Chrome, Gmail, or in Google+, you will be unable to set your status to invisible."

How to get Google Contacts in phone dialer?

Does anyone know how to get Google Contacts visible in the contact app that comes with the phone?
The issue is, I cant dial anyone thats in my Google Contacts!
I guess you have the Chinese version of the phone, if so you need to go on Hiapp download the contact and calendar sync app (and all other major Google apps) login and in setting account do a sync, if you still can't see the contact restart and try again, if you still can't see it in account, logout of the Google account and sign in again. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help mate appreciate it
I still dont see Google Contacts and Sync at all in my Hiapp though. I've looked everywhere and typed different things into the search bar. I have an idea though, there is a share button when you get into any app on the hiapp store - could you maybe share the link? This might work.
FIXED! I unchecked auto Sync for all accounts > rebooted > installed Google Contact Sync via an APK on google > rebooted > contacts appeared in the accounts section> enabled Sync and all my contacts appeared under the phones default contacts app.!
Thank you! REP given.
Ah great, fantastic. I was just about to send you an APK link

Unfortunately I still can't get it working. I tried every which way, tried your steps above and still nothing. I can't get it to appear under Accounts/Google. Quite frustrating.

I did all this but still couldn't see the contacts in my google account. I uninstalled and then installed an older apk from apkmirror (4.0.4 instead of 6.0.1), and that solved the problem for me. HiApp immediately updated it back to 6.0.1, but it still seems to be working.
