Hey guys
I´ve bought a Gear S3 Classic and my phone is an OnePlus 3.
My question is, if there is a way to sync my google calendar and notes with my Gear?
Since my phone is not rooted I can´t install S Planner to Sync...
Thank you
Hey,
I'm using a Pixel XL with the "normal" Google Calendar App/aCalendar+ and all my appointments from Google Calendar are correctly displayed on the Gear S3 Calendar App.
If you remove agenda's so they do not show, in Google calendar, are they also removed on the Gear?
Huib
I tried a reset to default this morning and now it works perfectly fine thank you guys
please explain
Hey guys, what did you do, i didnt understand the solution, can you please explain
i dont get it either. Whats a pixel XL ? How do you add appointments in google calenda with the gear S3 alone? it seems impossible, which is crap.

i have and samsung S6 edge and a gear S3.
Preety dissapointing that you can not add appointments with the S3 alone.
Gear 1 - 2 - S - S2 - S3 can display Calendar events but never can add from the watch. It is samsung watch

Why would you need to create calendar events using the clock. Much easier, quicker and more convenient doing it with the phone.*?

Of course no
More easy to move your arm and say : "hi Gear, add event doctor monday at 17H45" than pull off your phone, unclock it, open your calendar app and write all fields for your event using your 2 hands.

Well. You can do that using S voice with the clock. Soon with Bixby support.
Or you can do it using your phone. With Bixby voice or Google assistant. You really didn't know that? Since you wrote that you have to use your hands with the phone. ?
Personally I would never trust a voice assistant to get all numbers right. So I would like to double check in the phone immediately afterwards anyway.

No ! you can not do that with SVoice on Gear Watch You really didn't know that?
Soon it is not now
Of course you can use the phone to do that, even for read time and no need a smartwatch because phone can do all you want without watch ...

My phone cannot show notifications on my wrist. ? My phone is to clumsy to wear on a power walk with music (Spotify in Gear S3 with offline play lists). My phone is not always on me, and misses a lot of steps counting. My phone CAN show me what time it is. But then I have to grab it out of my pocket every time I want to see the clock. I don't create a calendar activity more than maximum once a week. It would save me 15 seconds a week to add it by voice. Wow. Big deal. So, a smart watch is so much more than adding calendar entries. ?
Samsung pay in the clock is also neat. Not really necessary since I have it in my S8. But it's pretty cool. Used it yesterday. The waiter was amazed. ?
Most calendar entries by me are work related. And secret. I can't speak that out to the clock anyway. ? And it would be a struggle to add all recipients by voice. And to find conference meeting rooms. So even if the clock would have full speak support for calendar entries with Bixby and/or Google assistant. I wouldn't use it. And again. I would anyway want to double check the entries in case the voice assistant got something wrong.
Point is; It's fun how you concentrate on such a small negative thing about the Gear S3. ??? And it's not like any android wear with goggle assistant is doing a great job. Especially not in other languages except english. Good luck finding a better and/or more good looking smart watch!
I'll leave you alone now. You need your time and energy for thinking unnecessary thoughts. ? ?

Evening all
Have just got a Smartwatch 2 and although I'm loving certain things about it, there are a few things that are proving to be frustrating.
I have paired mine with my Galaxy S4 and sadly the stock email app is not supported on the device. So I migrated my Hotmail account into Gmail (which is supported) but having done so, I can only see the first line or two of any email message. This is the case in both alerts and when I try to read the message.
I've tried K-9 but don't like the look of it on either my phone or the watch, so ideally I'd like to stick with the Gmail app if I can get it working properly.
Anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?
Cheers

It's the same for me with my Samsung Galaxy S2. However, via the app WATCHIT, I can read the whole text of the email. Watchit is supposed to only give the notification but it actually puts the whole text, while the specific app of gmail only shows 2 lines...
I am about to uninstall the Gmail App
Can tell me everyone what is the difference between 'toasts' and 'notifications' in the App WatchIt!? Sorry, I'm German and don't know what toasts in this way means. Thanks.

Great tip, thanks for this!
Watchit now installed, Gmail uninstalled and I can now see the full message. Bizarre that this needs to be done but it works!
The gmail app is only supposed to give you the first few lines of the email. It has always been like this - even on the previous smart watches.
Watchit will give you the full email but there is a limitation. If you do not read that email on your phone before getting a second email, you will not get the full email on your watch. Watchit appears to give the same text as what appears in the notification bar on your phone. Receiving more than 1 gmail without clearing the notification will result in watchit not providing the full email to your watch as the information is not available to watchit.
Notifications appear in your notification bar on the phone, meanwhile toasts are those little messages that appear at the bottom of your phone on top of everything and disappear quickly

Hi gargamel26l
Do you have problem on your hp when you activate accessibility to use WatchIt? Whenever I activate accessibility, all video will be very laggy. Any idea how to go about this. Thanks.
In using outlook. Com for e-mail but I would like more than just a notification in the gear. What do you guys use? I am not saying much luck with the stock e-mail app.

Are you on a Corporate Exchange Server for your Outlook? The email on watch for Gear 1 was broken, again, from the last update. I recommend Cloudmagic, as it brings the email text to my Gear again. Give it a shot.

I just switched from K9 (only thing useful on my last watch) to the stock email app on my Galaxy S3 (running 4.2). I can now read the entire contents of emails once I open the notification and can refer to them in the email app. BEST FUNCTIONALITY *EVER*!! It's really useful to just pull up the email without pulling out the phone (or even having the phone on me). My boss is tech resistant, but even he thought it was really cool.

There are a few things that could be amiss. Are you using one of the supported phones? Do you have the notifications for email turned on in the Gear Manager?
I've heard that "starting over" will sometimes work. Unpair the watch from the phone. Factory reset the watch. Uninstall Gear Manager. Reinstall Gear Manager. Pair the watch to the phone. Re-enable notifications. ymmv.
Good luck.
I changed the custom rom and now it is working great

Hi all,
OK - I have the Sony Gmail app installed on my SW2 and I'm using a stock (rooted) LG2.
On the phone, I don't need (or want) Gmail running in the background so have all notifications & sync disabled - basically, I just want Gmail to work a) when I check it manually or b) occasionally when I'm waiting for a mail to come through and need notifications on my watch and will enable them.
Weird bit.
I disable everything as mentioned, and the phone happily shows me no notifications, BUT the SW2 does!
I check the phone when one comes through on the watch and sure enough there's none there and I have to swipe down to poll the account.
My question: which app is polling the account - is it the Gmail app or the SW2 extension - and more importantly, how can I stop either/both of them doing it and save battery life/my sanity?
Is the phone secretly checking in the background for mail but not showing me any notifications?
Thanks for any tips.
If you don't want to poll Gmail, then, remove the extension from the watch.

Yes, but if you read my post you'll see that I occasionally do need to poll Gmail.
Your suggestion is a bit like "if you don't like being stuck in traffic, sell your car".
I use an app called Watchify, in it you can enable/disable notifications pretty much on the fly. It's now a paid app, but free trial for 14 days. I liked it enough to buy it. You can turn off Gmail notifications when not needed, then back on when needed. But you will have to do it from SmartConnect on the phone. I think maybe you might be looking for a filter for Gmail.

Yeah, I use Notfify Smartwatch ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.shuisky.notify ).
I can use this actually instead of the Gmail app.
I'm still confused as to what's polling the Gmail account though. The phone certainly doesn't seem to be, but these extensions don't work independently.
Do you see what I mean? It's like the phone is polling the account, just not showing any notification to prove it is.
It's very odd.
I guess the first question I should have asked is, what apps/ext on you running on your SW2?

Call Handling
Messaging
Gmail
Notify Smartwatch
That's it.
The extension works independent - directly accesses your account not using Gmail App. So it's correct that the extension ignores what your phone notifications tell or hide

Wow. Is that so..
So, question answered then - thanks very much.
it's a bit hit and miss. e.g. this email notification came through, but the notification for the other thread replies didn't.
Not much use anyway!
I think it might be following the rules of categorising in Gmail website where those mails might be put together in one thread. But idk... I'm using stock Xperia Email and Extension.
On my S4 I used AquaMail with AquaMail Extension. Worked well.

No, just changed the type of fuel it uses..
To the makers of this Gmail smart extension.....I noticed today that my data was being used so I decided to investigate, 1.47 GB was used for Gmail smart extension. What the F---? This is a bad app and I demand a solution to this as you just cost me most of my data plan!
I've read different reviews and I'm a bit puzzled since I still don't have the watch i ordered weeks ago.
I have a S6 and I read that even with a Samsung phone you need to download android Wear to be able to respond to Gmail emails? Is this true? I was under the impression i can reply to emails and delete them without anything installed.
Also with the Calendar is it true you can't create calendar events?
Thanks

Not sure about GMail but replying to Samsung's inbuilt email app is possible. However, typing an email reply on the tiny keyboard is a bit of a chore. It takes patience.
It is true that you can't set up calendar events directly from the watch. This is a big disappointment but it is possible it could be included in a future update.

Thanks for the quick reply, I assume you have the watch. I don't use the inbuilt email app i think the app is an envelope with @ logo in it. I use Gmail so I read that if you want to reply to a Gmail email you have to install Android Wear which I'm not sure if this is true or not. If you can test this I would appreciate it and by reply I mean voice recognition response not typing on the watch keyboard. I have a hard enough time on the phone fat fingering everything so now way I could do it on the watch, this is where i miss my blackberry.
Very disappointing on the calendar event. This is one of the reasons i ordered this watch along with the phone call option.
Cheers

Android Wear is an operating system used by other smartwatches. It can't be put onto the Gear S3.
You are incorrect! Android wear is an app in play, look it up, this is what one user said he installed to get more functionality out of the S3 with google apps.

Yes, but it can only be used if you are pairing with an Android Wear smartwatch. it won't do anything for gear S3.
Not according to an S3 owner who posted this. I don't have the watch yet so I can't say for sure that is why I started this thread. According to him he installed it to gain more functionality to the gmail app. I'll test it myself when the watch finally arrives and post my own results here. Cheers
Android Wear APK include library for notification action on the Android OS. I do not know why Google do not include directly this library in the master OS but they are on the Android Wear phone app. So just install it to have this feature. No need to connect any Wear watch on the phone

So what exactly does it add?
Notifications are already passed to the watch.
Add buttons for notifications action like
- Mark as read
- Reply
- Archive
.......
I tested now, and it is actually correct. By installing Android wear(and not doing anything else), I suddenly can reply to GMAIL e-mails from the S3 without using the Samsung Mail App.
I do not whether Android Wear app adds anything but indeed in the Pebble sphere, one would add the Android Wear app to gain additional features. Depends if they are hooking to the APIS's enabled by the app.

I understand you can reply to the native Android email client, but are you able to reply to Gmail app is the question?
sorry, i wasn't clear...it's through the gmail notification on the watch but strictly through the notification, If you've swiped the notification away then you can't and you'd have to go through samsung's email app.

Ok that makes sense, thanks for the clarification.
Yeah, just confirming you can reply, archive, etc, from the Gmail notification or just reply or delete in the native app (no archiving). The only thing the native app adds is the ability to look at your inbox, and reply to one of those emails. Once you've replied or swiped away the Gmail notification, there's no way to get into Gmail.
What I didn't realize, is that there is no way to initiate an email! Only reply. Strange...
When you say native app i assume you mean native email app on the watch correct? I don't use the native email client from android OS. I use google but i assume you mean watch native email app.
I apologize for all the questions, this would be easier if i had the watch but its on backorder.
Thanks

Hi everyone
Just got my new S3 Frontier. can anyone tell me how I can view future events on the calendar app.
I can scroll the through the next 27 days events but if I want to view or add an event say in 3 months time there does not seem to be any way to do it??
Seems daft that I can look at the calendar but not see my events etc in the future?
I must be doing something stupid as I cannot find anyone else in the history of the internet who has the same issue ?
please help...
Most of watch show just current day events, over show 1 week or 3 days. So if you have a month on Gear it is very well. It is just a quick method to see what happen next. Otherwise for total operation it is always a phone job.
Do more use more memory more time to transfer so more batt so not for a small wearable device

The watch isn't meant to replace a smartphone, I don't think. You can't surf the net or get to Google for example. For longer range activities you need a phone or computer and I'm good with that.
Assuming you are running tizen 3.0, go into the calendar app by launching the app or tapping the calendar widget. In the main screen of the calendar app on the watch, tap the three dots on the right side of the calendar screen. There should be an option called "create a new event"
