Is the "Accounts" setting working for anyone (on your phone)? When I select it in the Android Wear app (on my S7 Edge), I get a message that says, "Manage which accounts on your phone are added to your watch" -- but, the page never loads! See attached screenshot. (This screen is from Android...

How do I download a podcast to my watch so I can leave my phone at home when I go out for a run? I use PocketCasts on my phone, but the watch app only seems to offer controls and not the ability to download. I thought Google Play Music could download podcasts to my watch, but I can't figure out...

I am a T-Mobile customer. If I buy an LG Watch Sport, can I add it to my T-Mobile account so the watch will have cellular access? If so, how? (And does it matter where I buy the watch?) Links to any resources on the LG or T-Mobile site would be appreciated!

I have been using the stock Samsung texting app on my S7 Edge. If I switch to another texting app (I've tried MySMS and Textra and Facebook Messenger for SMS, among others), many of my texts (including current texts) are missing. When I switch back to the Samsung app, I can see them again. So...

Interesting. I never had this problem with my Note 3, S5 or Note 4.

I'm using my S6 edge with a hosted Exchange account and the default Samsung e-mail app. I have a number of e-mails (currently, 14) in my in-box that will not be deleted on my phone. If I delete them on the phone, they reappear there later! The same messages do not appear anywhere else when I...

I deleted the Exchange account (which took a long time), then created it again -- and all seems OK now. I think. But seems like this shouldn't be necessary, huh?!

I just did that. It was only 136MB. (That didn't seem like much to me -- is it?) I don't think it made a difference.

I've had my Note 4 since Day One and have been very happy. Until now. A few days ago, the default e-mail app (which I use with an Exchange account) became painfully slow. New mail is indicated, but the in-box won't refresh for a long time. Like maybe 30 seconds or so. I don't think Exchange is...

Oh, I think it may be the Google Now launcher (which I recently installed when it became available for the S5)! Is anyone else using the Google Now launcher on an S5 and, if so, does the number of unread e-mail items show as a badge on the e-mail icon for you?

Suddenly (maybe after the latest update from T-Mobile?), my S5 has stopped showing the number of unread e-mails as a badge on the e-mail icon. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to force the unread number badge to show again? Thanks!

Yes, that's a large part of my concern. Since there are multiple Android Wear watches that work with more phones, the future of Gear 2 (Tizen) may be much more limited.

Thanks. My main concerns with the Gear 2 are: (1) it might not be compatible with my next smartphone (if I don't buy another Samsung) and (2) is the app "eco-system" for Gear 2 going to be more limited than Gear Live (since presumably the Gear Live will be more popular since it runs Android...

I just got the Gear 2 before the Gear Live was announced and am trying to decide whether to make a switch. But to do so, I really want to understand all of the differences, so here's a list I'm starting -- please comment and add any other differences of which you are aware: Gear 2: Clock face...

Well, I think I found a solution. I had no idea until now that holding the home button for 5-7 seconds will give you an opportunity to restart the Gear 2. I did that, then I could properly delete all of my e-mails after it restarted. And all works as it should now. I think.
