    [Q] Can't show email for security reasons

    I have been able to read all emails on my watch since I bought my gear and now my gear s2 UNTIL THE LAST WEEK OR SO. Now I am getting this security policy message on both my home and work accounts. Any ideas?

    seriously let down by built in GPS accuracy (or lack of)

    I have not seen a WORD from Samsung about fixing this. Anyone heard ANYTHING?

    seriously let down by built in GPS accuracy (or lack of)

    Should also mention that the Forerunner weighs almost nothing compared to the S2 so it's not like it has a huge battery or something. It also displays elapsed time, pace, time of day, and distance all on one screen!

    seriously let down by built in GPS accuracy (or lack of)

    I did find that turning location to gps only (no wifi) caused the accuracy to be better. I believe it was locking onto wifi signals from various houses along the path and that's what caused to plot me back and forth across the path. It was still off from my Garmin Forerunner 230 by about .3...

    Android Gear S2 Smartwatch. Watch strap faulty.

    Just thought I would chime in here. Had my watch about 6 weeks and the strap came apart right at the stainless connector at the watch body. One of the screws was missing so I assume that's what caused the issue.

    seriously let down by built in GPS accuracy (or lack of)

    Thought I would throw in my .02 here also. I'm having the same issue. I had a gear s and it tracked my runs pretty much perfectly. I bought a gear s2 (love the software and the form factor of the watch) and the GPS is all over the place when I go for a run. No idea why. The general path is...

    3 hr battery life.....help!

    I have had my Gear S for a few months now. My battery life has always varied wildly even though my use of the watch is pretty consistent. Sometimes I would have 65% at the end of day and others would be nearly dead but it always lasted a full day. In the past couple of weeks, the life has...

    Alternative Messaging App That Allows Replies Through Gear S???

    Yeah.... the watches ability to handle MMS is a major problem for me too. If I get group messages, I get separated messages and some only show part of the message (like some parts of the group don't exist). This is made even more strange by the fact that the entire conversation will appear on...

    Voice Mail/Mail/Text Notifications on Home Icons?

    I believe I am using the "Google Now" launcher. At least it says it's installed on my phone. How can I tell what launcher I am using? If I switch to another launcher, will "OK Google" still work?

    Voice Mail/Mail/Text Notifications on Home Icons?

    Hello, I've had my Samsung Galaxy S5 for a few months now. I moved over from an iphone which was the only smart phone I had owned. One thing I miss is that the icons on the home screen don't have the number pop up showing I have waiting messages. I know there are other notifications but I...

    Text Messages Not Forwarded?

    The cell signal in the office where I left my phone is very weak so the phone may not have had a strong enough cell signal to be connected. However, the office does have strong WiFi to which the phone was connected (watch was on cellular). Shouldn't that have worked?

    Text Messages Not Forwarded?

    I have had my gear for a couple of weeks and just discovered another issue. I left my phone at work but was not concerned as I THOUGHT all my calls and messages would be forwarded to my Gear S anyway. However, my text messages and emails were not forwarded. I'm not even sure my phone calls...

    How can I keep my Group Messages from separating?

    Re: Group Messaging Question Well.... unless it pulled the PW from the phone, it's not able to connect at work. How do I check it.

    Running/GPS tracking apps

    Any updates on this? I too don't like to bring my phone and it's one of the major reasons I bought the Gear S (stand alone GPS). I would not classify myself as a serious runner but I do need accurate time/distance/pace results. GPS mapping like in Map My Run and Runtastic Pro is nice too. I...
