I recently purchased a N1, and it has been a great phone so far. One of my only problems is that I can't share contacts via SMS. Is there any way to do this?
Yes, grab 'Share contacts via SMS' (by Dor Naveh) from the Market
Thank you. One more question, is this feature something that Froyo has or is an app still going to be necessary?

I have a problem with email:
if I try to send an email (not from gmail) with one of my accounts the email doesn't start.
But if I use a wifi connection it start correctly..
The same thing when I try to configure a new account: with the 3g connection I can't configure it, but if I use wifi it works.
it always says Impossible to connect with the outgoing server at the end of configuration, but the server is correct (in wifi it works)
I receive emails but I can't send.....
with any builds also the original
any suggestions?
thanks!
not really a fix to it but another email app that will work for you without all this hassle is the "K-9" email app via the market. Its free and after I was having this same problem with the email app that comes pre-installed with the G1 I downloaded this and it works and is even better looking then the original app.
hope this works for you.

Did the K9 mail app get removed? I am looking for an app to replace the mail app that comes with the phone but I'm coming up empty.
Hi friends
My workplace requires me to sync with their mail exchange server to get all my e-mail & calendars pushed. I've set it all up great on stock but my issue is when I am sent a new meeting request, I have no ability to accept or reject it on the phone. Any ideas on how I can resolve this? I'd prefer to stay on stock until I make sure my phone works fine before venturing into a custom ROM. I am not aware of there being any really good 2.2 ROMs specifically for the Captivate but when I am ready, I just want 2.2 on a simple ROM similar to stock without the bloatware. Any help is greatly appreciated.
no need to use a custom rom to make your mail usable.
i use an app called touchdown on my phone. it is the most complete mail client i have found so far. only downside is that it costs $20. well worth it if you need nearly COMPLETE functionality out of your mail client
i hear good things about k-9 but i couldnt get it to connect to my exchange server so i gave up on it and went with touchdown
I am using the stock app and i am able to accept or reject invites in the email app. They have a calendar icon and i scroll down and hit accept. An email reply pops up and i hit send.

alphadog some reason it doesn't allow me to..just shows a blank e-mail. Can you also create meeting requests and send them to colleagues?

this wasnt working for me when i first got my phone. i just tried it again and it works now....an update or something i did? i dont know, its weird, because just after i got my phone, i was testing it out with some guys at work....
i still find touchdown to be better when it comes to actually reading the emails. full html email support is nice and looks more professional. the stock email client looks like a hack job when it breaks lines mid-word.

I can accept meetings on my phone, but when I go to my calendar and try to create new meetings and add participants, it does not send the invites... Any ideas?
Hi,
I recently found that there is an option for adding IM accounts for each contact. While in Edit Contact mode you have the choice to add an IM account (most common ones) for each contact. If you add an IM account you will then have a choice within a contact to start IM chat with that specific person.
My problem is that if I add an Microsoft Live account for one of my friends nothing happens when I try to send a message. E.g There is no application linked to this action.
It works well if I instead use Google Talk, but then that application is installed on the phone.
Since there is no official MSN application available I wonder if there is a way to get this working ? Is there an Motorola app which is not present on my phone? (running custom firmware) or is there a way to link a specific app to that action ? (Ebuddy for example) or how is this intended to be used ?
Been searching the net for an answer without any luck.

nope, instant messaging from contacts is only avail. for Gtalk.
some extra functionallity comes with the official skype app, (like in facebook or twitter)
but you can mess aound with jabber transports if ur rly interessted, that works quite well for me, but can get complicated too.
there are guides for that out there - if u google "jabber transport gtalk"

Thanks for the reply. I also found out that this has nothing to do with Motorola, since it looks and behaves the same on my Samsung Galaxy. Looks like Google prepared for IM via Contacts but since there are no offical clients (or non official) that integrates with the contacts it doesn't work. Would be good to be able to configure this yourself. Anyway I will stick with Ebuddy which lets me connect to different networks within the same applikation.

Hi guys,
Moving from WM to android is creating me more problems than expected
Apologies if I make a few noob questions.
I got a Galaxy tab, and everything works fine expect the email apk which is not able to show the folders of my corporate email account. I've seen that this problem affect other people/devices, but couldn't find a working solution.
Funny enough, I got my old Blackstone running XDAndroid working fine with the same exchange account and showing all my email folders and sub folders.
I've seen the $20 touchdown, but I'd prefer a native solution, so my questions are:
- Understand that after rooting I'll be able to replace the Samsung mail apk. What would be the procedure?
- I would like try the email apk from the XDAndroid. do you see any limitation for this apk to work on the tab.
- is it possible to get the HTC mail apk (sense) working in the Tab? does someone have a working apk?
- Any other solution to show the exchange email folders into our Tab?
Thanks in advance
Funny, i had same idea with HTC Mail.apk but found nothing on web.
So anybody want to port HTC Mail to Galaxy Tab?
~ from Tab using XDA App. ~
HTC's email.apk needs sense, and would be nearly impossible to port it without using a sense rom as a base.
Exchange(2007 SP2) and subfolders works great though on my tab.
Also i've noticed that there are some differences between my stock rom and overcome, so you could try that.

hi YoMark,
Can you pls let me know which Email version are you running? (just go to aplication/manage applications/all/Email.
Mine is version 2.2 and it is not showing the exchange folders/subfolders (exchange 2007)
I also have the email 2.2 apk and while mails and folders load fine, it takes ages (1 min at least) on startup and any switch and email apk is prone to force close (especially when switching between mails or switching to another app)
I reported this months ago, but no solution has been found yet... Only thing I hate about the tab, as I have 0 productivity with Emails

I am in the same boat, it's not showing any folders (Exch 2003). Anyone found a fix for this?
Hi Guys,
Just curious if anyone knows if they have a method of transferring contacts and photos and whatnot in store? I've been upgrading through HTC iterations and they have the p2p software for this. I don't know how it's going to be going from an M8 to a galaxy device and wondering if I should do it all myself tonight or if the guys at the store have something for me.
Really excited to get my device tomorrow!
Thanks in advance.
Samsung Smart Switch app is installed on the phone when you receive it.
I feel like I'm missing something here.
.
Do it yourself, should be automatic for the contacts.
One of the beauties of the Android/GMail/GDrive eco-system is automatic syncing of these things.
IOW, your contacts (& calendar entries & other stuff) should already be in your GMail. (check first, just to be safe)
When you register the new handset in Gmail, it will automatically sync your contacts, calendar entries, etc.
.
I'd use Drive to back up yer pics & vids. Open 'em up and check off all you wanna keep.
Then share with Drive. Easy peasy.

Haha no you're not missing something. I have everything auto-backing up through google's ecosystem. My issue was that I bought a Moto360 recently which forced me into using Google Hangouts. When I made the transition, literally 1/2 of my contacts stopped showing up - I only see phone numbers instead of names on quite a few text messages. Checking what I've synced w/ google, all my contacts with names are definitely there. But I've just been leery of trusting the cloud ever since. And maybe too lazy to dig and work out a solution. So I was hoping for some miracles to happen with some 3rd party transferring intervention. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I did have to download it from the play store but it works flawless. I've tried so many apps to back up and restore my messages from my note 3 to note 4 and all of them failed to restore my group mms correctly. This one did it correctly and a lot faster. I went with the back up / restore via SD card method. Thanks again!
