Hi,
I've currently got an Iphone 3G and am sick of the whole Iphone 4 mess so I'm considering getting a Galaxy S.
I'm not familiar with Android so I'm finding out what apps I have on the Iphone I can get on Android.
One question is can I sync the Galaxy Calendar via 3G/WiFi with my Google calendar?
So far it's looking good for the Galaxy!
Cheers.

Yes, it is a Google phone after all!

It sync perfectly with google services. Google calendar is not an exception
Put it this way, every time you add an item in your Galaxy Calendar it automatically gets stamped into your Google Calendar.
I have two calendars and when I add an item it asks which one I want to save it to.
DOH! of course it's a Google phone, I was thinking android and forgetting Google, Sorry Google!
Yep it syncs perfectly with Google contacts, calendar, and contacts. And if you use Spanning Sync your calendar and contacts will sync automatically with iCal and Address book on your map.

On the SGS I've got my calendar open and showing the "Week" listing, but I can't see my appointments, nor the happenings for the day. It's all blank, except for a single listing on saturday.
The previous week is showing elements, but none of the appointments that go across the days, nor is it showing events, except when I'm showing "Day".
This really frustrates me, as I've got a disability that makes it hard for me to manage time without a proper visualization. A feature I actually had in my windows mobile phone
Is this a known bug, if it is one?
Got my Live and G watch today, but am bummed as the Wear companion app constantly crashes on my Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4. After finding no info online, I factory reset my Nexus 5 to add apps back and try to isolate the cause.
Long story short, it is when I sync my corporate exchange email account via the stock mail app that causes the Wear app crashes. If I delete the exchange account, Wear runs fine. When I add the exchange account back, it dumps all over itself... I need to sync exchange for my job, so I'm dead in the water... ...sigh... I bought the Live and G watch to try them both out too...
Hopefully an update comes quick, or someone has a suggestion.
maybe this isn't a good idea / won't work for you but.. a 3rd party email app.. or adding the account though the gmail app may work? if possible.
Same here

Have exactly the same behavior on stock HTC One M7 running latest 4.4.2 (Sense 6.0) with Samsung Live. With my corporate Exchange account configured, Google Wear app continually crashes and the phone doesn't sync with the watch. As soon as I remove the Exchange account from the phone, everything works perfectly with Google Wear.
now using the Touchdown mail app as a temp workaround
So I tried multiple other activesync mail apps (Mailwise, Nine, etc), just to make sure the problem wasn't the stock android mail app itself. Same results with the Android Wear app repeatedly crashing until I kill the exchange account.
Finally I tried the app Touchdown, with is a bit different in that it sticks your exchange account in its own security container. That seems to be a functional workaround. The problem is it only a 30 day trial, and I don't like the app itself.
Ultimately I bought my Android Wear device as a peripheral to use at work, so not having the native email app functionality to use is frustrating. I get that this is new tech, so its the early adopter blues for me lol. Hopefully Google fixes the Android Wear app before the trial runs out on Touchdown, because I definitely like the new watches.
Anyone have luck with with the Samsung email app and wear? My watch comes Friday and I will definitely need to get exchange email on it.

had the same problem on my LG G watch together with the company excahnge integration (nexus 5 - google default mail app).
did several resets - reboots etc. etc. no luck...
after 1day of testing i found a working solution for me -
1) remove the exchange account from your mail app
2) install the "cloudMagic" app (supported for android wear)
3) configure cloudMagic to work with your company exchange ---
4) receive company mails and notification again - and use your android wear app again
cons:
-contacts and meetings are not synchronized ---- !!!

Just a heads up... CloudMagic copies *all* of your email on to their own servers. They index it locally on their own systems which is how they get such fast mail searches. This would be a violation of most enterprise IT usage agreements..
I've seen updates to the Wear device... hopefully they update the Wear app soon!

That's not a solution - it's a workaround with some serious limitations including that CloudMagic probably violates most of our IT security policies by storing your email on their servers.
I've noticed something especially odd about the crashing on my S4 and the Samsung Messaging app. It works for me in the late morning, afternoon and evening. Then the crashes start sometime after I go to sleep and continue through mid morning. So each morning I remove my corp email account and then by around 10am I put it back and it works well again until the next overnight.
I am using nine and have no issue with my corporate email. I can reply, mark as read or delete straight from the watch . I have the Samsung gear live
Same issue here...
After I updated To 4.4.4 it was working with my three corporate accounts. Three days ago it started crashing again for unknown reasons.
Is there any apk version out there which works?

I'm in the exact same boat. I would love to know if there's a previous APK that is stable with EAS accounts. My Samsung Gear is useless to me without exchange data.

nine mail app
since this night (since the yesterday update of nine) my LG G watch has the same issues with the nine app as with the default GOOGLE mail app - crashing all the time (all 2seconds)... after removing my account from nine app - everything worked smooth....
common GOOGLE - fix that sh"'t !!!!

my app has just started crashing this morning... been perfectly well behaved until now...
I'd have assumed a fix would be imminent but i'm now bothered as I can see people have been flagging this issue for weeks...
I've been using Outlook on my Galaxy S5 for a while now and was getting email notification on my watch (Moto 360 2nd gen) without difficult. Then I just stopped getting email notifications. I appear to still be getting calendar notifications, but not email.
I did two things around the time when the notifications stopped:
1.) Installed an app on my phone create extra vibrations on the watch when notifications were received (Feel the Wear).
2.) Setup the default sammy calendar to sync with my work's Exchange calendar so I could get calendar info in WatchMaker.
To trouble shoot I've tried:
a.) Uninstalling the app listed above and removing the calendar sync setup.
b.) Uninstalling and re-installing MS Outlook
c.) Verifying that Outlook is not listed as a block/ignore app in Android Wear
d.) Forgetting and reconnecting my watch
e.) Verified that I'm getting outlook notifications properly on my phone.
f.) Searching google and xda... couldn't find anything, but I'll admit I didn't do a super huge search here in xda.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm working around this right now by using eNotify, but I hate to use additional programs to do something that I should be able to do without them.
I have the same issue. About 2 days ago Outlook stopped sending notifications to my watch (LG Watch Urbane). I still get them on my phone, but they do not get sent to the watch.
I do not have Feel the Wear and I have not made any recent changes to how my phone syncs anything. I have also tried disconnecting and reconnecting everything and confirming that Outlook is not on the notification block list. I updated the Outlook app from the Play Store today, but still no joy.

I've tried even doing a factory reset on the watch, and this has only led to bigger problems. Now ALL notifications are being super temperamental for me.
Same problem here. I'm glad to see someone else is experiencing it. I've found nothing helpful on google about it.
This link here:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-wear/KV62Rs3fZHs;context-place=topicsearchin/android-wear/notifications$20stopped
is saying that it's a Microsoft issue. Can't verify that info, but it does seem consistent with the fact that we all seem to have noticed it stopped right around the same time and it's only MS Outlook that did it.
Same thing here on my Huawei Watch. My workaround was to restart notifications from the stock email app, so at least I won't miss anything. If it's fixed and I start getting double notifications I'll turn them off on the stock app again.
Pull down previous version from apk mirror and give it a shot.

Reviving a bit of an old thread here, but I finally got around to trying out this suggestion and it works. I pulled version: 2.0.17 (106) and installed it. I'm getting notifications on my watch again.
Current version is 2.0.36, which was just released yesterday it seems. I tested all versions on APKMirror between 2.0.17 and the newest and 2.0.17 seems to be the last version that will send notifications to Android Wear.
Where I can get the 2.0.17 version?
Thanks

Make sure, if you do this, that you disable automatic updates in Google Play Store app. Otherwise it'll just try to overwrite outlook with the newer version automatically.

I believe I did submit a report, but I'll do it again just to make sure.
On a side note, after trying a BUNCH of different programs, here's what I finally settled on:
I'm using the newest version of MS Outlet. This obviously doesn't get notifications to my watch, so I'm running AquaMail and using the imap interface to get push updates from my Exchange Server. AquaMail did the best job in terms of speed and notification type, at least for me.
Others I tried:
Cloud Magic: Speed is decent, but I only saw the first notification on my watch. Subsequent notifications never went to watch until notifications on phone were cleared.
BlueMail: This was horrible slow for me. Even 5+ minutes after Outlook or Cloudmagic would see the email Bluemail still hasn't received the message. Not sure on notifications on watch.
Mailwise: Very fast on receiving new email, and the notification showed on the watch for each notification, but after the first one you just get a list of outstanding notifications for Mailwise so you don't get to see the full subject, title or body of the newest notification. Outlook in version 2.0.17 (the last one that sent notifications to the watch) did the same thing.
After pulling 2.0.17 my watch is receiving notifications again. I have also reached out to support with this info. I am running Marshmellow and everything seems to be working fine. Hopefully, they will fix this on their latest release. For now, all Outlook updates are off.
Thanks again!
Thanks for this I thought I was going crazy as I think I just started using Outlook right before that update came and removed the watch notifications.
I noticed this too, I assumed that it was a change to the security policy... it'd be nice to have it work again
Just got this back from Outlook support :
Hello Andrew
Thank you for contacting Outlook Mobile Support. I understand your concern but we no longer support Android Wear. If you would like to address these issues then you will need to contact the retailer! I apologize for this inconvenience.
Warm Regards
The "retailer" you refer to is Google. They support the android wear app and the watches. The issue is that the outlook app is not sending notifications to the Android o/s in a normal manner. Every other app works just fine. Only the outlook app has this problem. The notifications did work until the app was upgraded beyond version 2.0.17. Something changed that broke the notifications at that point. I do hope you will continue to support your app and the android wear community!
Hello Andrew
That is when we stopped support the Android Wear devices. We will support Android Wear when Android Wear advises us to again. We enjoy helping! I apologize for this inconvenience again!
Warm Regards
So they know it's busted but won't fix it unless Google calls them??
That is horrible and typical M$.
It is not free, but touchdown has exchange activesync with push notifications. I am a teacher and it is a huge help with all the email I get.
Alternatively, you could downgrade outlook and not let it update.

Figures. I found it really useful to have work email and calendar notifications sent to my watch as I am not always at my desk. I reported the "bug" and got basically the same response as above. I guess the community will need to come up with another Microsoft work around. Does anyone know of a killer feature or bug that was fixed between 2.0.17 and current? Trying to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.
Hi
I own a 910C international unlocked version and I am wondering what my expectations should be as far as the screen time goes with this device. I am going to use it more like tablet than a phone. I seem to be getting close to 4 and a half hours maybe. I read some reviews etc and they were talking about 12 hours video etc which is great but mine is nowhere near 12 let alone 6 hours.
I froze most of the samsung app( including knox stuff) and all the google stuff. I am using auto brighness with Pixel filter app from Pelya. I do not have any samsung or google accounts however I am syncing to my own caldav and carddav server + firefox account sync. These are the only accounts in sync.
thanks

I have an Axon 7 that was purchased shortly after release in the US. I have been using it for over a month now, and I find it to be a great phone. I am astonished at the quality of the pictures you can take with it. I should point out that compared to most of the members of this forum I would probably be considered a rookie. Anyway, I am having issues in 2 areas.
One is with it's syncing with my Exchange accounts (of which I have 2). I receive all of the emails timely. However, often after I have read them on the Axon 7, they still show up as unread when I use my Outlook client. Furthermore, when I edit a contact on the phone, the edits do not show up for the contact when I go to the Outlook client. Using the phone to look at contacts, I am unable to get to the Notes I have entered using my Outlook. Lastly, I have events which I have scheduled using my calendar in Outlook that are a month out from the current date. They do not show up in the Calendar on the Axon 7. Anybody have any suggestions?
The second is with the playing of .wav file attachments from emails. When someone calls my office and leaves a message with the voice mail system, the voice mail system sends me an email with the message attached. I have several apps on the Axon 7 for playing audio: ES Media Player, Google Play Music, Music, Rocket Player, VLC, and Winamp. None of them are able to play the .wav file. The attachment shows up, and I can download it, but nothing on the phone will play it. I know the .wav file is good because it shows up in the Outlook client, and I can play it from there. I also have a colleague to which these messages get forwarded. She is able to play them on her Galaxy S6 phone with no problem.
The Axon OS is Android 6.0.1 and it appears to be using the B27 update. The phone is absolutely box stock. About the only other matter of note is that the phone it replaced was a Galaxy S5. When the new phone had the new, nano-sim installed and powered up, it automatically installed all of the apps which were on the old phone. However, none of the settings for the apps from the old phone carried forward. I had to re-do these settings for each app which I am attempting to use.
TTT!
Come on forum members. Surely someone has an idea on how to solve my issues.
I have no problem playing .wav messages from my exchange account. When I click the message, it downloads, then I open the message from the notification panel with VLC. Automatically plays fine.

Your problems seem to all be with the email client in the phone - don't use it. I do everything you do when you have problems, but I have no problems. I also use the Gmail app instead of the phone's built in email. Try using a different email app
