Along these lines, Gmail has grouped highlights which makes sorting out messages less asking for close by overpowering protection what's more information security highlights.
There are a couple of highlights that appear, from each edge, to be requested in light of the way that clients don't consider every last one of them.
Spam Hiding Capabilities - It is an illuminating truth that the circuit of touches into the email address of your record does not hamper the most remote inspiration driving you continuing on through the messages.

Mac Users - Spanning Sync is highly recommended

Just wanted to let Mac users that syncing both ways from Mac -> Google -> Hero and back is a sinch with Spanning Sync.
I've been using it sync my Hero purchase nearly 3 weeks ago... no issues found so far.
Get a $5 discount too using my referral code of : EVPPB3
Mods - please delete the above line if this breaks any commercial rules - this really is a boon for Hero syncing on OS X
Your friend saves $5. You make $5. No limits. Boom!
Sounds like a fair deal
As I say... if anyone does have an issue - happy to have the line removed
What does this software let you sync? Is it just ical and address book? Because that can be done for free.
One thing that is killer for me is the ability to cross link different iCal calendars to different calendars in Google's calendars.... ie I use multiple calendars on my Mac (Work, Personal, Important etc) and match them, to equivalent Google ones.
That way my Hero can populate iCal with work, personal etc related events without having to move them around on the Mac.
With Address book, I sync a 'Phone' group to my handsets... Spanning sync allows you to sync a single group and also have handset entered contacts automatically put into this group when syncing back.
There are many more option you don't get with the free version of SyncMate for example. And based on personal experience when using SyncMate and a Touch Diamond, it would always sync my 800+ contacts after it had synced just the 'Phone' group. Very annoying. Also kept duplicating iCal events.
Spanning Sync also mediates between the differing contact format that Google uses compared to the more detailed way Address Book handles data.

[Q] Showing particular contacts(Groups) from Gmail account.

hey. was just wondering if there's anyway to sync selected groups of contacts instead of every damned one on my list.
reason is that i don't want hundreds of e-mails clogging up my contacts list.
sure, i can show only contacts with numbers. but there are some contacts which i only have their e-mails.
thanks!
i'm looking for something similar myself
i got several email accounts (more than 15) that i sync with and you can imagine the huge mess of contacts i have in my phone when i pull up the list to search for an email or phone number
i'm trying to find a way or something to organize all that
also to sync it all across all the accounts
or something along the line
just to clean them up and make it easy to the eyes
i have no problem finding the number or email of the person i need to contact
it just eye soring to see over a 1000+ contacts when you bring up the list to pick from the list.
good lord Android came with an awesome search build in, else it would have been a major pain in the arsenal as it was with Windows Mobile and PalmOS and every other smartphone i've ever had before, even Blackberry sucked at contacts handling
ah well. looks like for now i have to show only contacts with phone numbers. and add some random numbers for the important contacts that i only somehow have their e-mail addresses. bummer.

email tile

I have 4 email accounts on my phone... And I honestly think that its a waste of space to have 4 individual tiles... Is there an app or something that will allow me to have say 1 tile and it checks all my addresses? I'm hoping that I'm explaining this correctly... I simply just one 1 email tile that can access all of my email accounts.... Most likely not... Cause its a smart idea... But hey wishful thinking eh..
I'd be surprised if a unified inbox doesn't come in an update..
Right now it's not possible, though.
I think the way MS thinks that is with the ability of these online cloud based email systems work such as Hotmail or Gmail that you can bring all your emails into one place and then people don't have to worry about checking every 15 mins when they can push the emails. It will unify their inbox for them and the days of POP3 access and slow IMAP folder/syncs can be eliminated.
I am not saying that is the best solution for everyone but for the general public I think it is a good one.
I have all my email flow into my Hotmail account now and before it was GMAIL. Most people really don't have more than one or two at most. MS tends to side with most people not the few.

Receiving jobs by email

Hi all, I'm self employed and receive most of my work via email with the details in a pdf or doc file.
If at home I just transfer the details to calendar on my PC which syncs with my google calendar and then onto my note calendar. From the note calendar I can tap the location field and navigate to the customer with google maps and, if necessary, tap the contact number to call the customer easily while on route.
The problem is this requires manually typing the data from the document into the calendar. Easy on my PC but a pain in the butt if I'm on the road at the time.
Does anyone know of a way to automate this so I can do it easily from my note?
In summary I want to be able to get the job details into the calendar (stock at moment but not set in concrete), specifically the address into the location field and contact name and number into the description field.
Would it work if I got them to send out as a calendar invitation, I assume but don't know for sure, that they use outlook.
Sorry for the long drawn out question, I hope it makes sense. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Love using the note for my jobs but need to be able to streamline it's use when jobs come in on the road. At the moment I have to open the email, download and open the attachment, write down the details and either enter them into a diary event or type them directly into phone/navigation as appropriate. Not exactly high tech

imo the simplest solution would be if customers would send you invitations from google calendar - when accepted would automatically get into your note calendar,
Thanks p107r0,
I think it will also work if they create a diary event on their system and invit me as an atendee. In theory I then get an email invite which, if I accept it will populate my calendar.
Just messing with it myself and seems to work. I'll have to get my companies to try it out if I can convince them.
genious question, brilliant idea for an app, someone should make it

What if you did some sort of mashup where your clients go to a google hosted google apps page with a google spreadsheet that is acting as a form,
in this they can type the requirements.... and perhaps can select / type who they are (or perhaps type their UID which does a lookup to prevent data protection act) that has an action of add to calendar + email alert for you with the attached PDF that they select in the form?
I might have a look in to this myself as it seems kinda fun!
Edit: Found this example, that is kinda close

Second edit
Perhaps http://www.jotform.com/ can help.
Thanks fooby, at moment I'm working on getting them to set up a calendar event and inviting me as an attendee as I think that will work with a few tweaks.
Trouble is getting them to play with me

[Q] Incredibly frustrated with N3+Gear - help please?

Good afternoon, Everyone - I hope everyone is having a great Saturday so far.
I, on the other hand, am incredibly frustrated and tired of trying to figure this out on my own... Also, I am in the middle of the woods today, and on a mobile device, so I am not as careful as I always am, so if by chance this has already been asked in a different thread, I am very sorry and I apologize...
I have the Note 3 with all latest updates. Not rooted. I also have the Galaxy Gear watch, again all the latest updates. I bought this watch primarily for two uses - to get notifications of my incoming text messages using the stock Samsung messaging app. Check - works great. The other reason, was so that I could get AND read my email messages using the stock Samsung email application. Check - works gr.... uh... not exactly. And HERE is my frustration...
Currently, in my STOCK Samsung Email app, I have the following accounts set up:
3 Gmail Accounts
1 Yahoo Account
1 Exchange work email account
Every time an email comes in on ANY of these accounts, I get an immediate notification on my watch. I can swipe, and read the entire email message. This is ALL I wanted. HOWEVER, even though in the very same stock email app, in the very same combined in-box, if I get a message specifically to my work Exchange email account, the watch ONLY displays that I have a message and to open it on the phone. It will not show ANYTHING in the email. But... the other accounts do with no problem! Why just this account, in the very same email app, with the same appearance and layout as the others??? I need this account more than anything - the others are just for fun and personal family, etc.
I did manage a temporary workaround however, but I am HOPING that you amazing folks here at XDA can give me an idea towards a solution. If I set up a MANUAL account to my work server using IMAP, our work server will allow me to only CHECK the mail, but not send. So I have no choice but to keep the existing Exchange account set up in my Samsung Mail App. However, I set up a SECOND entry in the same mail app, with my email address checking the email from my work server using IMAP and TLS. I just can't send.
Once I did that, I now receive TWO of every email from work. One in my normal inbox without a notification (turned off to avoid all the extra alerts on the phone), and the OTHER entry (IMAP) that I have labeled "Galaxy Gear Work Notifier". Now, the email WILL DISPLAY on my Watch, and I can read the whole email. But, if I pick up my phone to reply to the message, I have to switch inboxes on the mail app to the "real" Exchange one, and reply to the email.
There just has to be an easier way than this!!! I also own the Sony SmartWatch 2, but I personally don't like it as much as the Gear - but the Sony will read everything with all of the second party email notifiers out there.
Regardless that this is an Exchange account, it is coming into the very SAME STOCK SAMSUNG email application - so why do all the other email accounts display their email in full on the watch, but the one Exchange mail that comes in only says "open on phone" - what am I missing? This is driving me crazy, the fact that I can't figure this out....
I would appreciate any and all ideas VERY much - more than you know. Thank you in advance for helping and for the ideas. I appreciate it!

HELLO AGAIN guys - I have an update...
I was so pissed by all of this - mainly because I was SURE there was something that I was doing wrong, and that I couldn't figure it out.... SOOO - I called Samsung, and went to tier 3 support and spoke to an engineer (called the main support line, got to the Mobile device department, then Galaxy Gear), and they said that they were aware that the notifications with Microsoft Exchange accounts, even those set up within their stock app, were temporarily broken and would refer the user to open the mail on their phone.... but an update is being released at any time now again to the Gear which fixes this issue. By taking the Exchange authentication/security out of the loop, this is why my manually set IMAP version of the same email was working. He assured me that they received a large number of calls on this specific issue, mainly because of all the business users who rely on Exchange as their email method, using the stock mail app. So he promised this was being addressed asap. At least, I now KNOW that this was not just me, and that I was not nuts. If it's "supposed" to be broken right now, and they are addressing it, then I'm fine with that and can use my IMAP workaround for the time being...
Thanks very much everyone - have a great rest of the weekend!!!
Mike
