SMS sync and email count

[Steve Baptista]

I'm upgrading from Samsung Note3 to Nexus 6P

There are 2 features I cant get to work on the 6p that in used to on Note3

1. sms sync, if someone SMS me on the note3 it shows up in outlook on my desktop and I can reply, Can't find this function under 6P I looked under Accounts-->exchange and under Gmail app, hangouts, downloaded Outlook app but cant find the option.

2. The native e-mail app would show me how many unread e-mail I have top right corner of app icon. can get this work with the above apps.

please help me get these features back with the 6p even if its a workaround:

Welcome to Android Central! Regarding the unread email count badge--that's part of TouchWiz. In order to get that on a Nexus, you either have to install an alternate launcher like Nova (and also use TeslaUnread for Nova Launcher), or try an app like Notifyer Unread Count.

Re: Exchange Outlook and SMS from 6P

Hello

Got my new 6P but I can't get the SMS I receive on the phone to show up in my Work Exchange outlook 2010,
My previous phone Note 3 when ever I received an SMS in would pop in my inbox and I could reply to it right from outlook with out ever touching my phone.

The note 3 had an option to sync sms under account --> active sync but I cant find it under 6P

Please help me out since I need this feature to do my job duties.

Samsung likely had those festure built into its custom android framework. As this is pure untouched android, those features dont exist on stock mail.

Download Nine (link above). The default google mail client SUCKS for exchange. Nine is arguably the best exchange email client out there for android. you will pay for it (10 bucks) but it gives you two weeks to try for free, and it is easily the best 10 bucks you can spend in the play store.

I do not use SMS syncing, but Nine's play store description says this is possible from their app.
