Galaxy Gear In Stock at Best Buy 10/4

I normally buy everything, but will pass on this. If it had the ability to respond to text and to misses calls it would be on my wrist right now.

Use S voice for text response and the call log will let u call through Gear watch. What else you need? Gmail will most likely be updated to be able read in watch and possibly take action. Using samsung email for back up hotmail.com emails and you can read and delete them through phone.

If you need to read emails on the watch you can setup the email app that comes with the Note and it will allow you to read at least a part of them. You can set it up for Gmail as well. It's not ideal but it does give you more info on the watch and I think it's a good indicator that it is technically possible and hopefully the Gmail app will get an update to allow the same thing.

This is a great idea. I went into the settings and turned off only the option to sync Gmail from my primary Google account, but left everything else on (Calendar, Keep, Chrome, data backup etc.).

I then set up the Gmail account to push using Samsung's native email app. Now my Gmail email is pushed to the Gear.

Thanks!

Does the galaxy gear only alert you of notifications when the phone is not in your hand? Also how do you sync your email through the settings on the great app or on the actual gear.

It's actually already set up. Just decline an incoming call and you'll be presented with the preselected options to respond via text.

I haven't figured out how to change them yet though?

I wonder if you can link 2 of these to the same phone? Black and Mocha simultaneously or easily switchable. I'll have to investigate that.

I have not declined a call from the watch yet, I'll experiment and see if the text decline is an option. I have to also say, while I think the screen is awesome on the gear it would be next to impossible to type out a text on the thing and not sure why anyone would even want to try.
It would be nice to have the option of replying to a text message at least with a "form" message such as, I'll call you later, Can't talk at Work, etc.

I agree for times when I'm at work and can't use svoice.

I did the same as you DAS last night and set up my gmail and hotmail accounts to push through the Samsung email app and will test today to see if notifications come to the Gear and how much of the message I am able to read. Thanks for the idea.

1- Went to Stock email app(looks like a white envelope with @ symbol in middle.
2- Created hotmail.com account(dont go through manual process of setting account) and selected "push" for sending emails to Note/Gear. Put your email address and password, follow the steps and you are done.
3- Create gmail.com account and do the same as step #2.
4- Go in your Note to Settings-General-Accounts. Select the Google account and hit enter, Uncheck box by Sync Gmail.
This is how I have it set up and Hotmail as well as gmail emails are coming into the Note and Gear.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

What about aol

I dont think it matters what type of account. Just add the account with the email address and password, use the automated set up steps, select PUSH for how to receive and at the end, you should see your AOL emails from the account populate.
