I received this update this morning which adds an Email app to the Gear but there is no info on how to set it up. There does not seem to be much buzz on the internet about this update either.

Does anyone know anything about this update?

Thanks!!

hi ,
first of all don't think it is a bug on Rom NA6 ,( i have no such issue,using NA6 and Gmanager v 1.6.132701 )
This happenned, a few times to me in past and other forum members , on other Rom 's( and it was always the relevant Gear manager version )
I fixed this by staying on relevant Rom, but going back a version /or so, to Gear manager version , that works 100%
.i suggest to check/try other version of Gear manager( you can search Gear forum, all Gear manager version is posted here somewhere ).
Plse note ,best is to do a clean "reset " when installing and pairing Gear manager( on phone ) and Gear.( watch )
Usually it was the" notification tab" that was missing on Gear )
Only" bug" i found on this Rom NA 6 was if you sideload ,apps
,it will disappear from"" apps" on Gear watch ( but in reality apps are still present on Gear ) .
A reboot fixes it temporary , otherwise use "recent apps/tap and hold two finger on watch , to find sideloaded apps .
good luck

Reset your gear. Happened to me when I selected restore. Resetting the gear corrected the blank page.

Thanks for the response guys, Does anyone know how to use the email app that was added to the watch?
There are no settings for it in the gear manager. Perhaps its for a future update?

just a heads up.. if your gear is working perfectly, do not update. it's not worth with dealing new problems. no new functionality has been added, otherwise i'm sure they would be promoted.

Per @SamsungSupport (and I also verified), the Email app icon is only used to view the native email client's notifications. This sounds cool, except that our Gears already receive notifications for that, so not only is having the app icon redundant, the stock email notifications can no longer be deleted. In notifications, the little email icon will show like you had a notification, like Gmail, etc... except when you click on it, it says no notifications. I had to reset my Gear to remove the blank notification. (Tweetview, anyone? )It is not a stand alone email app that lets you see all of your emails, etc.

My sided loaded apps are no longer showing either. Is this because of the na6 and 1.6 combo? I tried to flash an earlier gear manager version, but it kept updating me to the latest one after I installed it.. Any thoughts?
