How could you get the Sony sw2 to send email notifications from a note 3 without having to download 101 apps making it cluttered?
WatchIt is OK. Search Google play.

I own a smartwatch 1 and was wondering if there are any alternative Facebook apps as mine suddenly stopped sending any notifications at all and there doesn't seem to be any on Google Play Store.
Thanks,

I had been using the stock SW2 Gmail extension as my mail email "go-to" app when I first got my SW2 when I was still running a custom 4.1.2 ROM (BoneStock 3.4) on my rooted GS3. It was a sorta convoluted process, since I had my Comcast email go to my Gmail account, and then I was able to ead all emails via the Gmail extension. After a while I changed the ROM on my GS3 to a TW4.3 ROM (MOAR 7.1), in part to work better with WatchIt (I was having difficulties getting WatchIt to work with my 4.1.2 ROM).
The good news was WatchiIt was working fine with 4.3, but the ad new was the SW2 was now no longer able to work with the Gmail extension. I would try to use the Gmail extension (install Gmail extension, add my Gmail account to my phone as directed, go to my watch and press Gmail icon, I get an error message that says: "Unfortunately Gmail - Smart Extras tm has stopped. You can report it (which I did, it sends a message to Google) or you can clicjk OK." After you click OK, the same error message reappears. I then uninstalled the extension.
So to make it read emails, I installed K9 on my phone, and then had K9 read my Gmail email. Then have the K9 extension read the emails on my watch. What was a convoluted route became even more convoluted: Comcast, to Gmail, to K9, to the K9 extension. All because (1) Sony is trying to get SW2 watch customers to buy Sony phones by having the stock email extension on SW2 only work with Sony phones (and thus,eliminate the most direct way of reading email on the SW2) and (2) the Gmail extension doesn't work with 4.3 (at least my 4.3 phone).
So I posted the question on the Sony consumer customer support community age. A few community members offered up suggestions (uninstall/reinstall extension, go to SUS to make sure I am on latest firmware/SW, etc) all without any improvement.
I then emailed Sony support. And after a request for me to resend them an email describing the prolem, I received this answer:

So, at least they respond and answer emails. Hopefully they are also working on resolving 4.3 issues. But anyone having a problem related to 4.3, hope this helps.
4.2.2 and mee too have unfortunately gmail extras has stopped... " but after the Gmail App is working. So for me is only an irritating popup

I've never had that much trouble the GMail extension of stock 4.4.2 on my N5. It can be a little finicky at times, but the vast majority of the time it works great. Only glaring issue I had with it was last week when Google through a fit for those couple hours. Other than that, it was working fine.
It's interesting to see Sony's response though, they're Sony and should have no problems dealing with Android 4.3, let alone 4.4. It's a shame that it seems some of Sony's sleeping successes such as this are going unnoticed by the company and resources.
Awesome news... i just changed my custom 4.3 ROM from MOAR 7.1 to CleanROM 8.0 (a new TW-based 4.3 ROM), and on this one the Gmail extension works. So now I can simply go from my Comcast email account to Gmail, and read the mail using the stock Gmail extension. Works so much better, as emails are separated and the extension interface is a lot cleaner.
The other extensions I typically use all seem t work with this 4.3 ROM (haven't had a sports or score notification yet). But facebook and twitter extensions work, as does the photo viewer.
Hi all
I have been using Samsung and Sony Android phones for years and this is my first Nexus phone. I have just a studip questions about stock email app and exchange sync....
I have added my corporate exchange account to stock email app and sync it self is working as it should. BUT, with Samsung and Sony I was able to set different sync frequencies for working days and weekends (Push for working days from 8:00am to 6:00pm and manual fetching for other times). Is this possible with Nexus 5 stock email app? I cannot find setting for it.
Second question is, Sony and Samsung were able to search contacts directly from company Active Directory using same activesync account. Is this possible with Nexus 5?
Other wise I really like this phone!
Thanks in advance!
1) no not in stock app. There are plenty on play that will.
2) yes. Go into contacts and press search

I primary use Google email app for email client on my smartphone and didn't bother with Samsung email app. Gear 2 can't really get detail email when uses Google email app where I can get the actual email (text only) with Samsung email app. Does anyone know? If it can be configured with Google email app. Thanks.
Reqall app will work with gmail. Not free, but not expensive. Only option right now. Give it some time and you might have more options later

Yes it absolutely can, and its ultra easy, just set up a new account and use your credentials. When using the samsung app you can read the full email on the watch.

Hi,
After a large amount of searching, I wonder if anyone would have an apk of the latest Xperia Email app.
I have updated to the N preview, and it is not available on that or in the play store, like the calendar is.
Would anyone have an idea where I could look for it?
Phil
Xperia Email application haven't available on Play store. That's all.
