Is there an update on the horizon?

[chefmorry]

For whatever reason, my gear didn't sync to my phone immediately after turning bluetooth on this morning.

I launched gear manager, and it looked as if it was about to install a software update, but didn't.

I went to check if there was an update available, and got a message saying the servers were overloaded or something, and to either check back later or connect to Kies. Unfortunately I'm not near my computer for a while. Anyone else get any updates, or able to check through Kies?

Yup, there is an update available.

It's NA6 with a new app - email.

Have you been able to get the email app to work?

I finally was able to update last night (after getting an error code say the update servers were overloaded.)

It's an incremental update, only 16ish megabytes.

I saw the email app, but there is no way to change the settings, so I don't know what it really does. Maybe it syncs to "email" on your phone? I wouldn't really know as I only use the Gmail app on my phone.

I have been unable to get any mail through the email app. I have three different email accounts, one (at&t) in the stock app, a gmail account, and an exchange server in 'touchdown' (great app btw). The watch always says no mail..

I can now read the entire email from the stock email app on my Gear. Before I could only read 'From' and the title.

I'm hoping that this minimal update is a sign of more to come.

Maybe with the GEAR 2 line being released next week, all of us with the first generation gear will get some major update with the rollout of the second generation.

I tried to install today's update but everytime it gets to 27%, says "ERROR" and reboots

Strange..

I did the NA6 update last night and saw the Email app. Today the Gear disconnected from my S3, so I reconnect via BT. Now there is no Email app on the Gear on in the Gear app on my phone.
resarted to devices with no luck.

Anyone else experience this?

EDIT: Did a phone reset this morning and everything was restored. Life is Good.

I used to be able to read emails but after the update it tells me it wont show emails due to security reasons. Awesome.
