I am able to send email from my Gear S, but cannot receive email to my Gear S. Has anyone else had this issue ? I already contacted Samsung Tech Support. They cannot help. Just got off the phone with T-Mobile Tech Support. T-Mobile is sending me another SIM Card ..... I doubt if that will help though, because everything else seems to be working just fine.
I can send and receive Text Messages. I can go onine with Opera, do Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, make and receive phone calls, play games, check the Weather, Read the News, listen to Music, even read ePUB, Text, PDF files, and more.
Gear S Email Bug .....
Well now ... this is interesting ..... I've called Tech Support many time regarding the E-mail issue with my Gear S. I can send E-mail messages from my Gear S with no problem, but I get no E-mail Notifications on my Gear S.
Finally, Samsung Tech Support tells me that according to their information the Gear S does not have the function to Send E-mail, but only >>> Reply to E-mail messages .... Hmm .... Now, let's examine that claim carefully ....
So, I should be able to Reply to E-mail, which means that in order to reply, I need to be able to receive the E-mail Message first, right ? This doesn't make any sense at all.
The Gear S is only capable of sending E-mail, but also Replying to E-mail, which means that my Gear S should be receiving E-mail, which is necessary for me to reply.
BUT .... this gets even better (actually worse !!!) now .... The Tech Support told me that according to his information, I need to check my E-mail on my Note 4 to reply ... !!! What ... !!!
Tech Support also keep telling me that all I need to do is to swipe down the E-mail app on my Gear S, in order to see my E-mail messages, then chose "Reply". There is no such function on my Gear S.
Also, another problem ..... I have E-mail selected in Notifications for my Gear S, along with many other Notifications, which seem to be working just fine. So, if the E-mail app is one of the choices in the Notification Settings, then why is it not working ???
This is why I'm certain this is a Bug/Glitch. I have done the Factory Reset many times. I even uninstalled 9 or 10 Gear System apps on my Note 4 (an additional three of the Gear System apps cannot be uninstalled), then reinstalled, went through the entire Set-up process all over again. And still I cannot receive E-mail or E-mail Notifications on my Gear S. I've done this numerous times.
So, for now, I'll have to stick with only Text Messages, but many people I know don't do Texting.
Well guess what ..... After messing around with the Email (not Gmail) Settings, I finally have my Gear S receiving E-mail Messages and Notifications !!! Strange that so many Tech Support people could not find the solution to this issue !!!
Now I need to figure out how to get my Gear S to receive Notifications for GearGram, Twitter, Google+ and more ......

I'm told that every device supporting SMS has an email address that can receive txt messages. Something like : [email protected]
I'm on Tmobile, and would like to know that email. Could a guru lead me in the right direction?

I myself used T-mobile Mobile email. Basically this is a service that when people email your address you receive it as a text message. From my experience of this service you are charged 10p for every text received and this is not part of any allowances you may have. It usually only send you one sms of the first few words from the email.
I assume this is what you mean, see the link below for official details of the service...
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menuid=phones_tfe_me
In my opinion its to be used wisely and the address given to only inportant people who cant text you via a mobile phone.
Thank you for your reply. Sadly this does not seem to work very well. I had it working yesterday but today no matter how many emails I sent my phone never receives the SMS.
This is really disapointing as I'm using it to monitor the status of servers.
hi.
not familiar with t-mobile but I guess all operators are somewhat similar.
I use vodafone and the email address is connected to a standard mailbox which is reachable through a web browser. in order for the incomming mails to generate a sms I had to activate it in the same portal, I was also able to create rules on which mail that should be forwarded as an sms.
hope this helped.
br, charlie
Try something like this:
[email protected]
k
nope, no luck, it's very strange, that email to sms feature was working yesterday night, and today nothing.
Get the web'n'walk add-on, an account with mail2web and the AKU2 rom to enable push email. Then just email your mail2web address instead of your phone number, if a server has a problem then remotely administer it from your MDA PRO using terminal services.
Thanks for all the responses so far. I thought I'd give you a small update. Yesterday I was testing this further. My phone was receiving SMSes from other networks immediately, but none of the [email protected] made it through.
Then this morning, I received 28 text messages in one go. All at the same time.
Obviously the routing they use for the [email protected] mobile email option is cheap and unreliable.
So I've bought a few credits of an email2sms gateway, will let you know if that performs better.
Shuflie, regarding the AKU2 account, I got push email from 4smartphone - but I was under the impression that required the GPRS/3G connection to be always on on the phone? Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Right here's the follow up as promised.
I ended up signing for sms2email. I didn't know what to expect but it turns out to be very reliable. They deliver sms super super fast, which is what I need for server monitoring.
Seems convenient, and you can use distribution lists for SMSs, meaning you don't have to create dozen of account in your monitoring software just for the purpose of ringing everyone. Apparently you can also SMS BT lines, which in turn will read the message text-to-speech if the recipient doesn't have an SMS-compatible handset.
So I have seen stuff all over the web about this topic, but have yet to find an answer. I am one of the many folks that has a problem with group messaging not working correctly. Here is what I have noticed so far.
If I use my stock messaging app to send a group message, it ALWAYS sends out as a group message.
When using Handcent, sometimes, yes just sometimes, when I send out a group message, it will send to each individual contact in that group message. Most times Handcent works properly though. Then every now and then, it sends all individual messages.
Anybody with an Iphone, or another Sprint Galaxy s4, I have no problems with. Theyre replies always come back as a group text
One friend, who has an android on Verizon, when he replies to the group, I not only get his message as if its just coming from him to me, it is also blank, and I cant read it.
Another friend, has an android, not sure what provider, but his messages can be read, but they also come back to me as individual messages.
Is there a different ROM that will solve this issue? I am using Stock 4.2.2, but it is rooted.
This is really annoying, so I wanted to see if anyone has figured this out yet.
me too
This is very annoying to me too. here's what happens to me.
My s4 is on Tmobile prepaid(has been for years since flexpay)
I use Google Voice for calls n text.
I use the native sms app to send/receive.
I use google voice to send/receive and to start my group messages.
Now my native app is starting to not send long messages, roughly 20 characters or more.
Same for my google voice app since the new yr.
I can send out group messages from my google voice app but the replies come back as individual.
All 1,500+ of my contacts use my google voice number to talk to me.
I dont know if this is related but I use Google voice build 0.2.2.80 and will not update yet.
I've attached my version rom. I've used Jovy xtremeperia rom for yrs and its been the best rom I've used thus far. I jus started having issues a month ago with group messaging. I have not done anything different and I never update apps or my rom unless comments say otherwise.
someone please help us if you know anything. I do not use my regular number so if this issue is google voice related please advise. Thanks in advance
I have a Huawei Watch and a Moto 360 (2015). My phone is a VZW Galaxy S4 with Android 5.0.1. I use the stock Email (not Gmail) and Messages (for text messages) apps on my phone.
On both these watches, if I receive an email and then I receive a second email before I read the first one, when I go to read the emails on my watch, the first one is completely gone. It never shows me the email notification with a "+2" or anything. It just shows the last one I received. Thus, if I get two at the same time, I would never even know about the first one that arrived unless I look at my phone.
It works the same way for text messages.
It works the same way on both watches.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Just got my S10+ this week, and have been busy playing with settings, etc..I'm coming over from the Note 8 (AT&T).
Question for everyone. Do you prefer the built in Samsung Messages app, or Google Messages. I like both, especially now with the dark them more readily available.
What makes me lean more towards Google Messages is the ability to get messages on the web/browser. Was using it all the time on the Note 8.
Wanted to ask if anybody has switched back/forth between the two messaging apps, and if they have encountered any issues? I had switched from Google Messages back to Samsung's message app on the Note 8, and my messages were being sent to the wrong person. That's not a good situation to be in. I ended up switching back because of that.
Also, I noticed there is an updated apk for Samsung messages. My S10+ is using v 10.0.10.111. Looks like they are up to v 10.0.20.37. Anybody install that apk? Any good/bad things in there?
TIA
Coming from an S7 edge i was forced off Google Messages due to the handling of group messages. Sometimes it would work but other times texts that belonged in a group would come in separately. I would then have to click to download the text before it popped back into the group. Other times those texts would show up as expired (even though i just received them) and i would never see what it was. Needless to say i couldn't use it anymore so i ended up using Samsung Messages which never has that issue. Now that i'm on S10+ i'm tempted to try Google Messages again in hopes that it works the way is should as i do prefer it over Samsung Messages just due to the look and of course the web messages.
I've been flip-flopping between: Textra, Google Messages, and Samsung messages.......I've decided to stick with Google Messages.
The Samsung app, feels dated.... I do like the notifications I get when sending to other (At&t) users using the Samsung messaging app (tells when read, or they're replying...ect...), but I only have 1 person out of my 200+ contacts that it's worked on (my 17yr old son, who hates the Samsung messaging app). Plus, it just feels dated. No swipe to delete and long messages require you to "read more".
Textra is the lightest of the bunch, and I've been using for the past 4 or 5 years..... It's also the most customizable. But, Google has upped their game on the last release and incremental updates. It just feels "native" to the phone now. I also like the fact when you receive a PIN number, it recognizes this and copies just the PIN for you.
Google Messages gets my vote
BTW: No issues with group messages for me on the Google Message app
I like the Google messages app very much, but since the update to OneUI I have been using the Samsung version as it's good enough and themes the same way as the other Samsung stock apps, which I like a lot.
I prefer Truecaller messages because of its spam feature..
I love Google messages over Samsung. It worked perfect when i was with ATT. Now that i'm with Verizon I've had issues with google messages. They would come through late or not come at all. Switching to Samsung messages seemed to clear this issue up, as far as i know. No one has said they texted me and i didn't reply. Although that doesn't mean its working correctly, i may not have been aware of missing texts.. Anyone else had any issues with Verizon? i read somewhere a while back that Verizon text messages only worked right when using Verizon messages app. Not sure why that is... Or if it's true. If anyone can shed any light on whether there is, or is not an issue with Verizon messaging if not using Verizon app.

Been using Google Messages for last like 2 years and never seem to have had any problems on Verizon besides the typical sending and receiving from an iPhone of videos etc
Textra every day of the week!
One more benefit of using Google messages is you can enable chat feature now.

Not in the United States. At least not yet.
It is live for 2 of my phones now
Using Google messages, but really like the ability to pin conversations to the top in Samsung app.
Sent feature request to Google..lol
I prefer Android Messages over the stock one.
I love google messages but 2 minor things why I don’t use it on my s10 .
1. Wish google messages had schedule send sms feature . I use that quite a bit . No where in google messenger can I find this option .
2. The notification doesn’t have a pop up view bubble, quick read notification come on the top of the screen when I receive text . Couldn’t find a way to get google messages to do that like stock app notification does .
If there is a fix for both I’d switch back to google messages.

I prefer Samsung over Google mainly because of the ability to pin conversation and star message, the pop up bubble.
If Samsung had scheduler that would be awesome.
There's Qsms which is quite good but I don't want additional apps installed when Samsung messages works atm .
I use Samsung messages at the moment. But the one thing I really miss from Google messages is swipe to archive conversations...I liked to be able to hide conversations I don't use a lot without having to delete them.

You can enable the bubble for Google Messenges notifications in Advanced Settings/Smart Pop-up View.
Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy s10+ I love the phone, I hate the email app with a passion. It is constantly notifying me of emails I have already read, maybe even deleted ooff the phone. New mail... but the mail isn't even in the list of emails on the phone.
I have a 2017 toyota 86. My phone is paired over bluetooth and i like getting my text on bt as sometimes co-workers text me on the way in to work, On my old htcm9 i didn't mind the email as much as i would just say ignore and never see it again. but the s10+ keeps semnding the same email notification ever few mionutes inturrupting musice regardless if i hit ignore, if i go into my phone and read the email, or even if i delete the email. a few minutes later same notification about the same email.
Is there way to stop just email notifications from going to the bt audio? I'm almost ready to start looking to turn off all message notification if it will stop the effing email on this phone. Samsung's email app is bloody horrid.
um, I think i asked this already and couldn't find it. and i've had a few rum and cokes tonight... I can't find a delete post option.. can an admin maybe delete this?
friends don't let friends forum post while drunk....
