First of all, from HTC Kaiser to Samsung Vibrant to HTC HD 7 & I'm never going to look back!
OK now:
1. Go to an Email tile
2. Tap on the far left (next to the bolded name of the sender)
3. Voila - you have a slick option to select mail
Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. Thought it might be useful
Yeah found it the other day by mistake but I didn't think it was any earth mover
Yeah, my phone actually pointed the feature out the other day - I was deleting several emails one at a time, and a little info bar appeared at the top to say you can click on the left to quick select.
Not an earth mover at all, but neat that it recognised what I was doing and was able to tell me how I could do it quicker!

its great, but were is the "select all" feature, instead of you having to select each one.
I avg over 80 emails a day... how fun is my day selecting each one to delete

That makes no sense, what is the point of keeping an email once you have read it? I check most of my emails on my desk top, the phone I use to track what is happening via emails for 4 different accounts when out with clients.
I dont need 100 emails sitting on my phone.
I am simply stating that every phone I have every used even old ones allowed you to do a select all feature for old sms phones.
HD2 has it, why was it not placed into WM7, just a small feature which is important but also missing as many important ones are.
but face book is there, wheeepy another face book driven phone, like we dont have enough of those.
Here's another one that you may (or may not) be aware of.
when typing press and hold on the actual text you have been typing. A cursor will appear allowing you to re-position anywhere within the text.
very handy for going back to make changes (like inserting a space between words, inserting words etc.

I am also using 4 email accounts, two Exchange servers and two Hotmail accounts. I have no problem to have two weeks synchronized on all of the accounts. If you dont want it, than set it to last 3 days and you dont have to worry about...

Alright. The screen broke on my first Captivate because I was clumsy/stupid. Put the claim in for insurance, got a new phone, set everything up. Nice shiny phone, what could go wrong? For one single contact, it 'forgets' the area code when I go to message them from contacts or reply to their messages. I have to type in their name and choose the number from the drop down list. Very annoying as this is the person I text the most. I've seen two other threads on this subject, but there was no mention of a cure. I've tried deleting and re-entering the contacts, to no avail. I tried using GO Sms, it has the same problems. I have stock 2.1, running LauncherPro -in case that matters.
I think I'm in the clear to bump this, as it has yet to be resolved and it has been a month. Please. anyone? I'm certain I'm not the only one to experience this problem.
I just started putting the area code into my contacts' phone numbers. I did it on my PC in Google's contacts app, though.
If only it was that easy. The area code is in the contact's phone number! I click reply to a text and it will often disappear! Thanks for trying though. I remember reading once that it was a bug in the actual contact management itself, but I thought the great people here would be able to come up with a solution.
Edit: Actually, I am adding this contact to google contacts as I type, maybe your suggestion will work after all! I'm no sure yet do to the sporadic nature of the bug.

I think these methods worked for many people. Use one:
1. Do a full factory reset.
2. Open messaging
click new message
Add offending contact to the send list
click to type in the send list and hit backspace until you have deleted the incorrect phone number.
then type in the correct phone number.
type a test message and hit send to fix the contact permanently.
3. Delete the contact. Ask the contact to call you. In the call log, long press and add to contact
Adding to Google Contacts didn't work after all. I am thinking of Flashing a custom ROM tonight once I decide on which.
Thanks for the help though! It is really annoying.
Good morning. I have a HTC One on 4.3 stock. After the 4.3 update I have noticed the following which I believe is a Bug.
If:
a) open gallery then
b) press share
c) choose the app to share (Whatsup/gmail/exchange mail)
d) Choose the photo(s) you want to share
then you expect the app you choose to share the photos with to open, but nothing happens. The gallery turns off as if the app (whatsup/gmeil etc) will start but then the phone returns to the gallery. The photos you have chosen to share are still there, the system returns to above point a).
Same Bug when:
a) open gmail/exchange email
b) open new email
c) press attach a picture
d) gallery opens
e) choose a picture
f) nothing happens.
the gallery will bring up a "please wait" and then it will return to its normal state (main gallery). Whats up working fine if you try to send a photo by using the app itself. Tango is same problem as gmail/echange email.
Anyone any idea?
Sorry. 4.4 no issue.

Woooww what a feedback. Great help. thank you...not.
Hey guys,
I made a little discovery today while attempting to figure out a way to send native SMS messages on the gear.
What I discovered is a way we can manually invoke the text template popup to any specified number, this can be useful if you want to save various text templates in gear manager and would like to actually send them, rather then only just use them to reply with.
At the moment the only way to preform the intent is using tasker or adb shell, this is more a educational post for those of you who would be considered advanced users can possibly make it a little more user friendly !
Perhaps someone can code a simple app with a contact list so that we can send text templates, @st-tps I'm talking about you
SHELL COMMAND:
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider/com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider.TextTemplateListActivity -e phone_number 0401010101
*NOTE* Replace "0401010101" with the desired destination number.
I will also include a tasker example once I make one.
Happy hacking.
I´m definitely up for the challange.
I´ll try to get something running as soon as I get some time to look at it.
Another interresting thing is the /data/data/com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider/databases/texttemplate.db wich stores the Templates. If we find a way to edit the db we could actually write what message we want to the db, then open the dialog and chose the newly created message and send it to what number we want. I´we got some ideas about this, I´ll try em out as soon as I get your shell commands working.
That is about how close we can get to native SMS right?

Oh thats awesome, didn't realize the templates were stored there..
If we can edit the database, We would have a kind of working solution, although I really want to figure out how to send custom text. Rather to relying on the templates.
Also another thing I havnt figured out yet tho is how we can pull the contacts from the phone, it doesn't look like there stored on the gear anywhere that I have found anyway. It seems there pulled from the host phone everytime the contacts app is executed.

My plan is to make it something like this:
Start app, choose recipient and write the message. The message is added to an local texttemplate.db file with only that row. When you press Send, the original texttemplate.db file is renamed, the local one is pushed to the directory, the Reply Dialog opens with only one option (The message you recently created) select the message and it gets send away, the "one row" .db is then deleted and the original one got it´s real name back...
If this works, nothing gets f**ked up by changing in the real .db file. This only my thoughts so we will see if I manage to achieve it...
The contact name and phone number for recieved messages and missed calls are stored in NotificationSync.db in the table SyncNotiInfo and in fields mMainText and mPhoneNumber. I assume that info is used when replying to messages.

i get my contacts through google contacts after tethering with my phone.
the problem with 'stock' contacts was that it took ages to load (i guess it's synchronized everytime you open the app) and most contacts are missing on my list due to custom label (instead of just 'mobile' i use labels like AT&T).
Here comes a real early beta (More like an alpha) of NativeSMS, the most fancy about it may be the progress bar at launch
What it does: list all your contacts (If you´we sometimes synced with Google Contacts that is) that´s got a phone number attached to it, tap a contact and wait until the template box appears, select template and click send.
What it doesn´t do: Sort the contacts alphabetically. Save the list until next appstart. Create own messages.No fancy icon yet.

A excellent start ! Works perfectly fine.. for a first release doesn't look bad cosmetically either !
Bravo.
st-tps, i installed nativesms, it gave me an error sub:main_activity_resume (java line: 318) java.lang.nullpointerexeption, because i didnt have the people app installed.
Might want to put some kind of check to see if the app is installed.
Btw im SemRumo in f0mey null chat

Great idea, perhaps just throw out a relevant error
"People app was not found, please reinstall rom", also I found you can share contacts via bluetooth which is great... I dont use GAPPS so I've transferred over my "favourites" ! Nice and easy.

No it does not. You must have a contacts database & contacts application in order to use this.

I´ll certainly do, good point.
I´ll put in a check for com.android.provider.contatcs in the create part of the Activity, if OK - Load contacts, if NOK - Message box about missing app and then exit.
---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------
Small update, I´we done some tests regarding editing the db file, very unsuccessfull..
Pulled the original db to computer and did the edit.
Try 1: Delete all rows but one and sent back to Gear - App FC when the Dialog would show
Try 2: Only did minimal changes, editet first row only - App FC when the dialog would show
Try 3: Edit one row only, and renamed the journal file aswell, the only valid file in directory is the edited db wich opens fine in Root Browser - App FC when the Dial would show.
Anyone got ideas what´s causing the Template send FC?

Nope, permissions and owner is the same..
The only difference is that the original db file got a journal file attached to it.
Will try to copy both the db and the journal to computer, edit and then push them both back.
Edit: Fail aswell...

Hmm, I think we need to dig a little deeper.. perhaps figure out how the JSON requests are being sent to phone and generate our own.
Try to unravel the SDK one line of code at the time.

Yeah, I´ll pull the APK and decode it, then I start the search for something usefull.
I would be awesome if we could put the Message as extra content to the intent, just like the phone_number

Hi, I've been having problems with Samsung Notes sharing, I was wondering if anyone knew where the actual notes are located so that when I can't share one to my compuer (which I never can) I can at least grab a copy from there. I tried looking but I couldn't find anything
Did you know that you can hold the s-pen button, double tap on the screen(unlocked), and it will open a new blank note? I have disabled the auto open air menu because of that, its so handy
To answer your question.. no clue.

The only thing you can do is share notes in PDF format to, say, your Dropbox account and view them from there. The notes directory cannot be accessed without root, and even then I'm not sure there is any PC app that can read the format.
I know it's not ideal, but you do a screen capture and then transfer the picture/screen capture

The problem happens exactly when I press on PDF, even sharking the Image would be fine for me but I can do neither. If I try to share the pdf it gets stuck in an infinite loading screen. Same with image. If I try text only then nothing happens. Only thing I can do is sdoc which well isn't really very useful and I've noticed that if I try to open some of them I get a "corrupted" message
