Can't read exchange emails on my GG either
Posted via Android Central App
Everything works! But..
I get message that tells me that for security reasons the gear cannot display my Microsoft Exchange sync. No doubt its because I have to password protect my Note 3 for work reasons. However it seems strange that it wouldn't allow preview even when I password protected my gear. This also appears to block my Verizon emails which maybe the MS exchange issue people have mentioned. Uggh. One of the reasons I got the gear was for checking my email discreetly during meetings. now I'm questioning the value of keeping it. dammit!
You can also just google "Odin307" and alot of links will show up for it.
Just updated mine. really simple procedure. Just followed these steps:
Downloaded the Stock Firmware BTU-V700XXUAMK7-20131115153?€?zip (208,63 MB) - uploaded.net
Downloaded this Odin Odin307 - Download - 4shared
Once Odin was downloaded I just extracted to Desktop
Once the firmware was downloaded I extracted the two files inside to the Odin folder I had just put on the Desktop
Put the Gear into Download mode (at the watch home screen, hold power until it says watch rebooting, rapid press the power button until you get to a menu with three options, press the power button three times quickly, should move selection to Download mode, hold power about 3 seconds and release, should be in download mode! )
Connect everything up via USB to PC (I am assuming everyone has the USB Drivers, if not http://hotfile.com/dl/247408965/8a67....27.0.exe.html)
Launch Odin
Odin should identify the watch as (0:[COMxx]).
Check PDA and press the button. Select the file V700XXUAMK7_V700OXAAMK7_HOME.tar.md5
Then Press Start
Sit back and wait, Gear should reboot and show the upgrading android animation and Odin will display PASS in green if all went well and its safe to exit and disconnect.
Now if only it was able to vibrate and ring at the same time, along with changing ringtones then i'd be even more happy with my GG
After doing this, doe this mean I have rooted the device? Or does it just mean I have upgraded the stock firmware? (I am fairly sure it is the latter.)
Should Gear Manager still be able to install firmware updates to the Gear after this?

Sweet, it works - I now see the advanced notifications.. I know I have not rooted the device and just updated the firmware, but I do feel a bit piratey.

Rob are you in the USA? Can I still upgrade my watch with the same firmware if in the US?
I started download the files but it was full of malware/viruses....I'll just wait for the official update here.:-\
