Gear S compose new emails direct from watch - Samsung Gear S

Hey does anyone know of a way to compose new emails direct from watch using accounts setup on phone rather than just replying to received emails. If you do I am extremely keen to find out. Also interested in getting BBM working natively if anyone has any suggestions. Am also posting in development forum.

not sure u can

You can use the email app on the watch to compose new emails as long as you use stock email app on the phone. Otherwise, there is no way.

I am unable to compose new emails to other contacts I can only reply to emails that I receive

Open the email app on the watch and you will have option to compose new emails. However, if you are not using stock Samsung Email app on the phone, this won't work.

Had someone got the stock samsung email apk for me. I thought I already had it but I can't compose new emails

If you have a Samsung phone, it is part of ROM. If you don't have a Samsung phone, you should know a lot of the Gear S features won't work.

I do have a Samsung phone and have being using the default email app but I am still unable to compose new emails from the watch - only reply to received messages. Any other suggestions??

Here is the direct copy from the manual:
Sending Emails
1. On the Apps screen, tap Email.
2. Drag the screen downwards from the center of
the screen and tap Compose.
3. Add recipients and enter a message, and then
tap to send the message.

When I drag down nothing happens

As in no compose or any other options come up

Hey where did you get the manual from?

Then you must have something configured wrong on your phone. It works on mine just like manual says. Make sure the stock Email app is the default email app on your phone and has email accounts setup. When you open the email app on watch, you should see existing emails on the app as well.

Direct downloaded from Samsung.

I found this update link in another thread but after updating, the app crashes and won't open.
https://mega.co.nz/#!oEFzzTJT!GiHDSq9fw2_GM8cGp4N0fU1pr9sb_bQxGYma5H5HEAA

It just comes up on the phone "unfortunately email has stopped"

Samsung's apps are usually phone model specific. You don't want to blindly update from other sources.

I think that's what's happened and it didn't like it. Is there a way too restore the previous version

I don't know. You can try uninstall it. But you might wind up need a hard reset. Are you using a Samsung phone that meets the requirement of Gear S? Not all Samsung phones are supported.

Yep everything else goes fine with Gear s. I can install new apps etc and get email forwarded from my phone but I just can't compose new emails

Have just done factory reset so will see if it fixes it

[Q] SMS App?

Hi everybody,
does anybody know if it is possible to install a SMS client on the GT 10.1v? Being it a 3G Tablet it should be possible to activate the SMS messaging ... I had been using the same SIM-card in a Samsung Netbook where it was possible to write text messages. The tab didn't let me install GO SMS.
Thanks!
I've installed WhatsApp and it want to send a SMS message before it starts. When I enter a correct phonenumber, WhatsApp presents an error telling me that it's not possible to send an SMS.
It appears the current firmware doesn't support SMS/Phone operations. Perhaps a custom rom in the near future will solve this problem.
I've tried to use Go SMS & Go Dialer, but without any luck.

I use sync SMS on my 10.1 wifi tab... install on tablet then on phone... must have a dropbox account. Works really good.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
using dropbox seems like a poor way of doing it..
I just started on one myself that does it through bluetooth
that's also not a perfect way of doing it but it seems better than dropbox to me
then again, I have no idea if it will work through bluetooth. I literally just started on it yesterday so I basically have zero functionality so far.
I just saw that HTC Flyer on Android 2.4 does have an SMS App working. Couldn't we just rip the app of the Flyer and install on the GT?
How could we get the messaging (SMS) app from the Flyer to try?

Sorry if I am being dumb - you got GoSMS working on a 10.1V? How comes? I have in the meantime only managed to get it installed. But - as predicted - it would not send any SMS.
I can send SMS using the messaging function in the message app.
textab is the best sms app out there in my opinion. unless your trying have a set number to the tab and text from it.
Sign up for a Google Voice number for free. ( google.com/voice ) Make sure you go through the settings and don't have it forward texted to your current cell phone number but just to the email address used to sign up.
Use the Google Voice App from the market or the one already preinstalled on the Tab. Log in using your Google Voice account and start texting using your new Google Voice phone number to any cell phone number.
DeskSMS is the ONLY way to go for SMS from a tablet, desktop, or web interface. Doesn't require an active bluetooth connection or Dropbox. It just forwards all my SMS to my Google Talk account, and I can reply directly within Google Talk on my Tablet or Trillian on my PC.
Google voice now supports tablets. I use it all the time to text from the tab.

[Q] Samsung Email App

Hi
New to these forums so please bear with me.
I have had the SGS2 for about 3 weeks now and today I used it to forward an email from my Gmail account using the Samsung Email app (app with wax on envelope). Each time i tried to forward a msg the msg would come up and I added a email address to send too, then when I sent it the email arrived with just my covering text and no forwared email.
I am using a stock rom version KE2 and have checked its not my colleagues Iphone by sending myself a forwarded email and I can check also in the sent emails - none have the attached mail I wished to forward.
I have checked the setting and the tick is ticked for forwarding files. I have stopped and restarted the app whilst untickting and ticking the box but nothing seems to work. To forward the mail I have to enter the Gmail app and do it that way which works fine.
Whilst this isnt a major pain i just wondered if its me doing something wrong or there is a bug with the app??
Tks
John
Seems to be a bug in the email app. Seems it just refuses to include the original email body regardless if you use forward or reply.

Text delays/sync issues since Google Voice v0.4.2.36??

Hey guys,
I have been using the Sprint/GV integration for a while now, and things have been great. Text has been arriving instantly on my computer, where I do most of my text communication. Now I have noticed that ever since Google updated to 0.4.2.36, my texts are delayed to GV's site and GVNotifier. If I open up the text on my phone, it pops up on my computer a few seconds later. If I leave the text unopened, it can sit for hours, or sometimes I'll get another new text 10-20 minutes later, and they will all spill out on my PC.
I believe it has something to do with some new settings and sync methods on the new app. Previously, you had the option of syncing your inbox, and it would even give you a warning about duplicate notifications. Now, that is gone. You simply select, GV-only, or both. Before, I had to disable GV notifcations, (including voicemail.) Now with this change, and sync settings, it's almost as if GV isn't getting my text until my phone syncs it with my GV account. Previously this tended to happen on the back-end, regardless if my phone was online or not. In fact, when I have my phone turned off, texts come through GV/GVNotifier just fine... Not sure what can cause the GV app to do this. I am considering removing it completely, but I like being able to search through my texts.
Has anyone else noticed issues since the new GV app was released?

I've experienced something similar...Sometimes, I will get a text on GV(site&app) but it will never come to my phone, and people have gotten angry at me for not replying, but it's not until I check the app or site that I notice I got a text message. This only started happening with the recent update to the GV app.
Another thing that bothers me is the inability to mark all as read from the site/app. Gmail does it..WTF Google? I have over 600 supposedly unread messages sitting on GV that I can't mark all as read. I have to manually go and mark a page at a time (which is around 10) until they're all marked, fail.

I have to go in daily and mark texts as read... Luckily I spend a lot of time on the website, but it is still annoying.
I too have the same issue with some texts only going to GV.... it's a bit more rare than the other problems, but it has happened about 5 times in the last few weeks. I find myself using the larger GV widget now, and checking it regularly.
BTW they just redesigned the site so you can select all and mark them read. I just do a label:unread then check 'em all.
So I just restored GV 0.4.2.32 on my Evo 3D, and all of the sudden my texts are arriving on my computer instantly, and things seem overall more consistent. I can't say for sure this is the fix, but it seems promising. I wish I had a later version, since this is from June.
Does anyone have the previous version we can reinstall? Mine is doing the same thing.. Im on the EVO4G.
Someone sent me a text at 8:05 PM last night.. I never received it.. HOWEVER, this morning I received a REGULAR TEXT MESSAGE (not google voice but regular phone text).. as soon as that one came through, so did the google voice text. This same thing has been happening every day for the past month. If I leave the APP OPEN with the phone on, it seems to work, but if not, my google voice texts and notifications seem to only come in when I get a regular text message... I can hear he regular text message notification sound and then right after I hear the google voice notification sound...
I assume if we go back to the previous version it will work again?
Thanks...

yeah don't count on Google support forums to help. I saw your post... just have to prevent the old version from upgrading.

I used TITANIUM BACKUP and set the app to be disconnected from the APP STORE so it doesnt check for updates and the app store basically doesnt know it was installed from there.

Are you using AT&T Messages?

I just happened to be going through the AT&T bloatware and happened upon this app - I decided to see what it was all about, and lo and behold, it's actually useful!
It puts your SMS, voicemails, and call log in the same stream. It also puts them in the cloud, and gives you a Speech-to-Text transcription of your voicemails, which is nice.
I have some minor complaints, but overall I enjoy using it. I have a few concerns about AT&T having all my texts on a website somewhere but it's a great way to have them all already backed up if you lose your phone, etc.
You can even send SMS from the website.
So, are you using it? Do you prefer another app for these things?
I was using it the first week of ownership. It's not bad but I quit because people would text me photos and they would only show up tiny?
Went with the gosms pro app...works great.
I don't want to use it but it's the only way I can get my vvm.. I've tried using the. Apk floating around here but it keeps telling me it can't validate it. I wantbto get away from it

I use it.
I like the VV to Text and the "cloud" functionality... I only want it gone b/c it takes over notifications and I'd like to use the BLN functionality of Da_G's OC Kernel... BLN doesn't work with AT&T Messages (yet).
@n00b1269, VV to Text (Which is what AT&T Messages does) is different than regular VV. I think if you have your account changed to regular VV, then the original VV .apk will work... I think.

your going to have to call or chat with AT&T to have them reprovison your account in order to use the VVM app thats posted here in the forum i had used the messages app first then it screwed my account somehow not letting the VVM app validate if you look at that other thread i posted there
that sound like google voice only GV is 1000% better!
I used it for awhile, but the vlingo in car mode won't read text messages from it. So I switched back to handcent for text, and YouMail for vvm. Works great, and I love the new plugin for YouMail, called who are you, that gives true caller id for all calls.

Yes. I like att messaging a lot. Its simple and clean. I like the ui better than GV. For my use it has more functionality than GV except for the option to leave different voicemail greeting for different callers.
GV gives free texting but I have the $30 unlimited m to m and texting so no advantage there. Also I don't think GV support mms unless that's changed.
Only problem I can't get SMS popup app to work with it. I'm using Popup app instead and it works okay.

I am using VVM on my stock GNOTE.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330
DL it to your pc and email it to your Gmail acct that is on your Note. Then check the box under apps that allows you to install from Non-Market places. (Unknown sources) Under settings-applications-Unknown sources.
PLEASE NOTE
if you have already set up AT&T Messages, you will need to uninstall it and either call AT&T from another phone or log into your online att.com acct and do the support chat. They will have to remove Voice Mail and the feature AT&T Messages. They will then have to provision/apply Visual Voicemail back on.
It works great and I am stoked to have it back on my phone. I just had the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and VVM was on there. Loved it. Anyway, hope this helps.

It did that to me to but I did the support chat and had them remove AT&T Messages feature and Voice Mail. I then powered my phone off and on, they added Visual Voicemail back on, powered off and on again and it worked.
The AT&T Messages feature is what is causing the issue.
I'm using it right now for VVM and it seems to be the only way to receive iMessages (Former iPhone User) in group form. If I try and get the messages from the stock app, I cant reply all... Anyone know of any other messaging apps that can receive and send messages in a group sms/mms fashion?

I know GO SMS Pro supports group messaging, but I'm having an issue with people receiving double and triple messages from me while using that.
EDIT: You can't receive iMessages. iOS and OS X only, for now.
The ATT Messages app seems to work the best for me atleast for the iMessage style group chats. Go SMS Pro always splits it up for some reason, not sure why.
question about Go SMS Pro, I installed the app and its working fine (mostly use for the msg without closing other apps) and i would like to set it to my default Messaging app. So i go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Messaging>Clear Defaults but when i go to launch Messaging app it does not ask me what app i want to launch nor to set it as default.

If you launch the Messaging app, you're going to launch the Samsung Messaging app. Just like if you pressed S Memo, it's going to launch S Memo, not some other note taking app on the phone. You need to open the GO SMS Pro icon. In Edit Mode, you can drag and drop the GO SMS icon over the default Messaging icon to replace it in the TouchWiz tray.

i only bring up this questions because i dont like the way the icon looks for the GO SMS Pro... i much prefer the default messaging app icon but i guess theirs no way to change that... cause replacing the icon just puts that ugly GO SMS Icon there... lol
Never used it and never realized it did all that. I thought it was like a chat thing for ATT users like 3 of my friends and me could all see each others texts like a chat room.
I've been using Google Voice for years now.
VVM
To be more specific on the issue with VVM. IF you ran the ATT Messaging app, it causes all sorts of changes in ATT's system on your account. The Tech/Rep looking at it for you will tell you all is well, and in their defence, it appears that it is correct. However, it's not and it's deep in their system and they can not control it.
To get it corrected, you have to have them COMPLETLY REMOVE YOUR DATA PLAN ( re-read that 10x.. it is EXACTLY what they have to do to get it working ). VVM is attached to your data plan. They can tinker with voice mail all day, it will do NOTHING for you. And good luck getting a rep who will actually go though the trouble of removing the data plan, especially if your on unlimited in the states still. However, if you anoy them enough, and keep them on the line long enough, they will eventually do it just to shut you up. Your best method of doing this is actually to go to the store and do it there. The reps there have permission to do it, where as the phone tech's kept having to call other departments to get it done.
After 3 days and 4-5 hours on the phone with a tech they got mine working. So I immediatly loaded the att app, it killed VVM, and I was able to drive to my local store, and they had it working again in 10 minutes ( that is 10 minutes after the guy did what i asked, complete removal of the data plan ). I did this just to prove it was a repeatable fix and not a 1x deal based on some random error.
Apologies if this is irrelevant. I don't have a i777, but I set up AT&T Messages on my i727 (Skyrocket). Didn't take more than a day to realize I hated the interface (and the fact that the app shanghais all notifications).
Unable to resolve how to turn off the notifications, on a whim I decided to just try to uninstall the app. To my amazement, it actually worked. My regular VVM went back to normal. I needed no interjection from AT&T at all.
I know this is very much a "hatchet" solution and not a "scalpel", but hopefully it's helpful all the same.

[Q] Group Texting on S3/Android

I recently decided enough with Apple/the iphone and so far I am absolutely loving my S3 and android in general. My only major issue is group messaging within the stock messages app.
With the iPhone it would show me in a group text who messages are also sent to and allow me to reply to all within the group.
Is there a particular setting to allow this on the S3 messaging app? I really like the look/theme of the app and would love this functionality. I do realize there are 3rd party messaging apps out there but I wasn't sure if I was missing anything.
Thanks.
It's not possible with the stock sms app, or even the samsung sms app. You need a 3rd party app like GoSMS Pro, or Handcent. There is a setting in each which enables it.
What it does is it combines the MMS's for you when they come in....so at first they come in as "download"...after they download, they go into the correct thread.
Yes it is just add multiple recipients and then send.

Yea, but when the message comes back, it doesn't group the recipients back (if your recipient replied to all). Don't see a way to reply to all either...in the case that someone sends you a group text.

You can group people together. You can select a group(s) to have your message sent to. If your friends have only one phone number in your contacts it won't ask which one to use, and unfortunately it doesn't remember which ones you picked the next time you start a new conversation (it does remember in the thread). Unless they can reply to all, the responding messages show up as a new thread.
Perhaps you can do this with the ATT MyMsgs app, I don't know.

I heard that the ATT Messages app supports group texting, but you can't initiate a group text...very odd if its true.
