After updating the Gear app on my S7 phone I now get "Can't show email for security reasons. View it on your phone..." on the Gear S2 watch when I get an Email notification. Before the update I would get the subject and the beginning of the email. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, -Greg

If you pair a Bluetooth headset with the watch then you can hear sounds.

I don't think is does.

About an extra 10% on my S7 per day

I have the Verizon watch, but I have read that people had various problems after the update. Performing a Light Rest of the watch restored the functions that the update seemed to break.

I don't think you can. From what I have seen it always syncs all contacts from you phone. What about adding a 2nd number to your top ten, like mobile2. Then you use S Voice and say, "Call Bob on mobile2." Then it dials the mobile2 number you have in your contacts for Bob.

This did the trick. Thanks for your insight! I'm now in full on "D ick Tracy" mode.

I'll give it a try. Thanks...

Leaving on Wifi all night had no change in behavior. Examples: say, "Show contacts." S Voice says, "I could not find any contacts to open." say, "Send message." S Voice says, "No contacts were found. What number would you like to send your text to?" I have the Gear S2 3G and activated with...

OMG, this is 5 feet from the wifi router.

I'll try this too

So I did a factory reset on the watch and is back up and running as it was, but now when I say to S Voice, "Call Polen", it complains it's not in my contacts instead of "Contacts syncing..." Tonight I'm going to try the Wi-Fi trick again and see if it now works after the reset.

I have also heard that it will last longer after a couple of battery drains and charge.

Make sure Settings/Connections/Mobile Networks/Gear Network is set to Auto or Always Off since you did not activate it.

I left mine on Wi-Fi all night and when using S voice I still get "Contacts syncing." message and nothing happens.
