I'm trying to do that now but when I select software update through gear manager it comes back latest updates have already been installed. I know I read this somewhere throughout the forum but do not remember if anyone replied back as to how to install. My apologies if this has been answered and I missed it. I appreciate all the help I received so far.

All Notification Working Perfectly. ;)

GEAR Firmware: V700XXUAMK7

Phone GEAR Manager: 1.5.111304

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

Updates the GEAR Manager at Samsung Apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] inmnbob:
Talk to Gear support twice today of course they know nothing about the issue. One told me to pull the battery out of the Gear. The Facebook support site wasn't aware of a problem and doesn't know when a US update would come out
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ritize:
got it!!! Thank you!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Andrewtst:
Welcome and enjoy. ;)

Does anyone have the apk to the previous version of Gear Manager? At least my email worked with that version....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] audri5:
Did your email stop showing you content? I am not able to get the watch software update because I use a Mac computer and don't know enough about how to do it BUT I did update my gear manager on the phone. Loved the extended battery life and all was great. Woke up this morning and ALL email (using msn with gmail routed to msn and was getting ALL full emails) now says check device! WORTHLESS!!! Please someone help me. I don't need the watch if I can't even get the basics.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:

May need to erase mail accounts and start fresh. Email and notifications working ok w native Note3 apps but waiting for update to make gmail work.

My exchange works just fine (US VZW)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mike208:
How are you able to reply to texts with the update? Does it only work with the stock messaging app?

What about deleting messages? With the update I started using textra as my messaging app. I am having a few issues. FIrst I am getting double messages on the gear(not on the phone) from textra. I see no option to reply to texts, do I have to set up the replies in gear manager first? Makes sense now that I say it, but I haven't check that yet. Also I can no longer delete a message while viewing the open message. It will let me delete from the list, but I cna't see the body of the message in that list so its hard to choose which messages I want to delete

Got firmware update V700XXUAMJ9, not V700XXUAMK7

It said firmware update yesterday. I updated, only to get V700XXUAMJ9, which makes zero changes. Is there a correct firmware update file somewhere that one can simply flash. I got my galaxy gear in Hong Kong

I am courious about range ? is it really improoved ?

I was using GG BT4.0 late ago and range was more worse than smartwach 2 (SW2) BT3!

I was keep SW2 and sold GG

but now after upgread software I can consider buy GG again

is it really feels better coverage compare to old firmware ?

notification income in same time as on phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] nccu_eagles:
have you tried K9 mail? I use it for my work email
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Are you sure you both have the latest gear manager and that you are connected to the exchange account in the Samsung email. Perhaps you are connected to your mail account but not using the exchange protocol.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ITNV:
Really weird. After I made the changes to the templates I tried disconnecting and reconnecting and even rebooted both the phone and the watch with no luck getting them to sync. Then, several hours later I looked and they had synced and now any changes I make to the templates are immediately reflected on the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
I think it might have, but it's certainly marginal - perhaps even placebo. I think it's better but it could just be me! Anyone else?

Yes the notification comes in on the phone and watch at the same time (well there's about a 0.5 second - 1 second lag while it pushes it to the phone) but nothing worth complaining about.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
Samsung really annoys me sometimes.

My Gear Manager tells me it needs to be updated, so I update it. The problem is, it doesn't update to the latest version but rather about 2 versions back so it doesn't work right with the new firmware I had loaded to the watch.

At that point, I find the APK for the latest gear manager (1.15) & load that. That got everything (all the new notifications etc.) working just fine.

The problem is, when I tried to open the Samsung apps to reload the watch styler app, the damn software is telling me it needs "updating" again and I know it is already the latest version.............
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ritize:
I'm connected exactly as you stated. I have to go back and set it up. Everything else works fine. I appreciate all the help I received!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dscline:
I haven't noticed it being any different. If I leave my phone in the den and go to the back of the house where the kitchen and bathroom are, it disconnects, same as before. On the previous firmware I could leave my phone on my desk at work and go to the restroom w/o it disconnecting (which is actually further than the distance at home, but my house has thick walls, and I have several routers). But there is a copier that is a little further, and it would disconnect. Haven't been to work yet with the new firmware, I'll report back tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] audri5:
Ok, I got the update and all is working EXCEPT my msn email is on my phone through Microsoft exchange server. I keep getting the security message on the gear for that email. Is there any way to change this? I have looked at all the settings in outlook and can't figure it out. That is my main email. Gmail is working fine. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have been struggling with this all day. By the way, the update of GM is what killed my exchange server email before I was even able to update the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung introduced code in GM 1.5 that blocks the display of all but the sender in Exchange e-mail routed through the stock e-mail client. It has nothing to do with the Gear, the ROM it's running, or the CSC it's associated with. And for some reason this "enhancement" only applies to devices with a U.S. CSC. MII/1.2 is the last combination to still provide previews of Exchange notifications. Hopefully this will change once the U.S. Gear's receive their update but that will still require an updated version of GM that doesn't have the code blocking Exchange notifications on U.S. devices.

[MENTION=274383]mhoepfin[/MENTION] found the code in this thread. Someone with "skillz" could remove the code and recompile the APK and the issue would be resolved. Let's hope a Good Samaritan helps us out. That'll probably be a more likely fix than waiting on Samsung.

P.S. - Some people moved to K9 or TouchDown. Some of us don't get to pick our e-mail clients; they're chosen for us.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] audri5:
Well thank you to everyone who replied to my posts and tried to help me. It took 12 hours but I GOT IT!!! I'm so happy. I had to borrow a windows computer and then found out I was using Microsoft exchange (which I didn't know) and spent hours on forums and on google. I accidentally came across a post on android central and got my mail set up without the exchange and now it all works great! Again, thanks everyone for all your work, help, and information!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ritize:
Question I'm able to see texts no problem and I haven't set up gmail through samsung yet as someone suggested. Not sure where to set that up but hangouts, I see the preview but when I select to read the text it says I have to look on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rishman1:
Hi everyone,

I'm encountering something strange-- I updated my Gear Manager to 1.5.111304 and then updated the Gear to V700XXUAMK7 using Odin as Mahtan described. It seemed like everything was working perfectly (MailDroid, Gmail, Hangouts, ...) but then I realized I was not getting notifications for text messages. Looking at Gear Manager, when I select "Notification," it does not have the regular options such as "Messaging," etc., but ONLY has the "More notifications" section, and "Messaging" is not in there (please see attached screenshot). Restarting both the Gear and phone didn't do anything. My next step was going to be to reinstall Gear Manager, but for some reason I can't find it in Samsung Apps anymore (either by searching or by browsing Utilities, etc.). Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

(I have a non-rooted Note 3 and non-rooted Gear.)

EDIT: I uninstalled updates to Gear Manager using Application Manager, then opened Gear Manager and it automatically downloaded and reinstalled version 1.5.111304 again, and now I have the regular notification options as well as the "more notifications" and everything is working as it should! Just leaving this up in case anyone else has the same issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thebluedog:
Everything went smooth. The question I have is. Is there a way to have gmail emails deleted from the phone when deleting from the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] :
Is your Gear debug mode checked? Is the ADB driver installed on your PC? Is the Gear in download mod? and does Odin 3.09 see your Gear?

You should be good to go Hit It!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Nope! It's merely a shallow notification system.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rastx:
I was having similar problems with certain settings not showing up on Gear Manager 1.5 and not being able to view full notifications with Hangouts or other programs even after updating to V700XXUAMK7. I followed your advice and uninstalled Gear Manager and reinstalled it. Now everything is working fine. All settings are visible and notifications work fine. I can now see full text on Google Hangouts.Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Tikerz:
Add this to your phone's build.prop, save, and reboot. Then make sure Email is checked in Gear Manager notifications. Let me know what happens for you. You should be able to read exchange emails on your Gear.

ro.csc.country_code=SPAIN

That's probably what that line of code for USA check is for. If country is USA adhere to security rules!

Wow I feel like a newbe. LOL I thought that just uninstalled the updates didn't realize it did an uninstall. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Tikerz:
Just like Jelly Bean, go to About Gear and tap on the Software Version several times to turn on Developer Mode. Then you will get USB Debug back!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sfb14:
Thank you sir! You are da man!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] :
That's because you installed a new firmware. Go in the Gear Settings, Gear Info, About Gear and keep tapping on Software Version until you get the notice that developper has been activated, then backup and you will see USB debug.

Ok, someone beat me to it!...lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DINCguy:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] audri5:
I use gmail and msn (outlook) Gmail was not a problem setting up. In the regular mail client app or in the gmail whichever you want. But the msn account used Microsoft exchange and I never realized that. I deleted all the msn settings and set it up again using manual setup instead of automatic. It worked. It put all the information in for me but did not go through Microsoft exchange. Now I get all my email like I did before the update. By the way it was NOT the firmware update that caused my problem. It was the Gear Manager update. I hadn't done the fw update when my mail started saying to read it on the device. I don't know if any of this will help you or not and I know it is frustrating as all get out but keep trying. It is worth it. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] idesmond:
When i tried setting up my email manually, it only gave me 3 options, POP, IMAP or Exchange. Which do i choose?

Is there any way to make this edit without rooting the device? I'm a complete Noob, and would rather not start fooling around with my phone's guts (OK, so I'm a tech-wimp); HOWEVER, I'd really like to get my Outlook notifications back to where they were before the GM update.

I found the build.prop file, but (naturally) couldn't find a way to edit it. Any way to change its read/write permissions? I've read through these threads, and apologize if I missed the posting of a fix.

If I can't edit build.prop, is it possible that the notifications will revert once the US ROM update's out? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Tikerz:
Without root, I don't think you can make this change. I don't know what Samsung was thinking when they created this logic. We won't know until the USA firmware is out if it will be a problem or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jeff b:
from the other thread

May have another easier option. I installed the stock android email app (emailgoogle.apk I used the 4.4 one) and exchange services and setup my exchange account there. Deleted account from Samsung email app.

Unchecked the stock samsung email app in gear manager notifications and checked email in more notifications. Seems to be working!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] oh.yes:
I got the same problem as Onyok with my S4 zoom in 4.2.2.

Where could i get the above apk to solve the problem? and how could i check whether my s4 zoom has them installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] msiegall:
Does "push" work, or does the phone have to request a sync periodically? Does it sync your Outlook calendar? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] trevor7428:
Lol I called samsung, about the update and the rep and supervisor claimed the gear has never upgraded since it's been out lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] potahov:
Push works. But notifications don't appear on Gear even I checked that mail app on at "More notifications"
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] oh.yes:
Dear All,

Again, I am using S4 zoom with 4.2.2, and with GM 1.2 together with my AMJ9 Gear, I got basic notification like missed call, SMS, and extend notifications with Gear Getter.

But after I update my Gear to AMK7 and GM 1.5, I originally experience GM couldn't start up problem, but I solved that by installing GearManagerStub.apk separately.

And my current status is my Gear can "talk" with my S4 Zoom regarding phone call, recent phone list, contacts, today's Calandar, but I have no notifications at all, not even the basic notifications like missed call, SMS......

Even though I have them set in "Notification" of GM. And I think my GM has installed correctly, as I has the new "More Notifications" settings.

So anything I missed?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Steve Tan:
hey why I'm update but still cannot see whatsapp notification? any idea or help
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] oh.yes:
FYI. I solved my own problem by unsinstall the GM and reinstall again.

I found that after I install GearManagerStub.apk and start up my GM 1.5 without reboot my phone, GM only install 9 apps during it first start. But if I start up my GM1.5 with a reboot on my phone after GearManagerStub.apk installed, GM install 20 apps during it first start.

so seems everything works fine now.

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

But just curios to know what's the proper number of apps to be installed with this new GM 1.5 at it first start up?

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
It can't/won't unless a new version of Gear Manager's released at the same time. The code that inhibits the full display of Exchange messages is in Gear Manager 1.15.X not on the Gear itself. People have gotten around it by changing their build.prop on their device to a CSC other than U.S. confirming it's the code below Samsung added to Gear Manager with the last update that's causing the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Yep. Doubt it's going to ever be removed if they see it as an exchange security permissions thing

I did the same and I can view and read my Exchange emails from the Gear.
