I got my Galaxy Note on tuesday, been playing around with it for a few days. But since downloading Facebook my contacts have messed up. So I restored it to factory settings.
Since relaunching when I try and download Instagram it says it's incompatible, yet I had it before I restored and there is no update for my phone, when I done it first time or now. I'm on 2.3.6.
Also before I log in to Facebook again, is there a way to get it not to mess with my contacts? I don't just mean under contacts, I mean under when you try to add a recipient to a text, I don't want it to list all my Facebook friends, contacts on my phone and contacts on my sim.
I've also had a few crashes for no apparent reason and on reload no error message?
Before i installed facebook it told me to select which method to use, either sync contacts or not so i choose not to so hopefully mine is cool but it said go into settings in your phone and look for facebook tab then uncheck it to not sync contacts. Should be siimple

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).
Exchange 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.
So I upgraded my Gear to Tizen and installed the latest gear manager on my note 3. All notifications are set properly afaik.
However, when I receive email I never get notifications on my gear. I get calendar alerts fine. I have multiple email accounts including Gmail and exchange.
Is this functionality broke? Any way to get this working?
Anyone? I reset my gear this morning and added it back to my phone. Emails were flowing for all of maybe... 10 minutes including exchange. Then they just stopped again.
They show in the notifications piece of my Gear, but I don't get the alert/preview.
Theres not a single person in here that uses exchange email and has similar issues on their gear?
Good afternoon:
I've recently acquired the new Samsung Galaxy Watch3 (Bluetooth variant) and ever since then I have been trying to find an app to synchronize my Google Calendar events. The idea is to have an app with all the agenda items (just like the features that the app "Calendar gear" provides, however that one does not seem compatible with this watch). An idea could be to have a notification pop up to the phone so that it could be relayed to the watch, but I was wondering if any of you knew any app that could do the work. I tried searching the store, but nothing seemed to be compatible with Google.
Thank you for your attention.
On my watch I can see all the Google Calendar events in the Calendar widget, without having done anything to make that happen. The events are automatically synced with the Calendar events of my phone. On my phone I choose in which calendar the event is entered (usually Google or Samsung). Events of both are appearing on my watch. Trying to understand your problem - is this not working the same way for you?
The same for me. I did nothing to have the calendar events appear.
Good morning to both of you:
Thank you very much for your replies, I will definitely try using the native calendar app. Is the synchronization automatic once bluetooth is activated or does it have to be done explicitly from the phone?
Thanks again
The synchronizarion is automatic once the watch is connected to your phone.
Looked around and couldn't find exactly what I was after.
So I have my s20+ mobile and s8+ tablet synced through the Samsung calls and text link. Also have Samsung Flow.
SMS is received on both devices so that is good. But when I delete a text from one of the devices, it doesn't delete from the other.
Is there a way to have Samsung Messages continuously sync? Trying to steer away from Google Messages or 3rd party apps if I can.
I had the same issue in the beginning, but the syncing doesn't happen immediately when deleting a message...It does however sync a short while later. I do get "warnings" that I must make sure both devices are connected to the network..it takes a minute or 5 to sync the deleted messages. I use google messages as the sync happens a bit quicker as compared to samsung messages. if one of the devices looses connection for whatever reason it doesn't sync until both are connected again
