2.2 Gmail app portable to 2.1? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So theres a really frustrating issue that Google tries to truncate messages that have been forwarded/replied from an original message to save screen space. However when you try to forward or reply to that email it also truncates that as well.
I am told it is fixed in 2.2, is it possible to get this from 2.2?

Inbox Synchronization in the new Google Voice app

Hi,
I installed the latest Google voice app, it has the kool new contact strip and the option for in box synchronization on the nexus one and the droid as ive witnessed. But when i install it on the G1 with a 2.1 rom i get the contact strip, but its missing the option for inbox synchronization.
Are us G1 users stuck without push still 5 minute check ins only?
Anyone know a hack or fix for this? thanks
PS. i tried pulling the apk from a droid that had the option, but when i install the exact same apk on the G1 i dont get the inbox sync option.
anyone? i mean who dose not want push?
I answered this my self since none of you are willing to help
It appears that this is only a problem on Kings roms, he drops the ball allot
Just use super eclair and you get the sync options, plus its far faster.

Anyone experience this issue with Exchange on 2.2?

I am using the built in email app to connect to my Exchange server and I have my phone with me at work like most people.
What I experience is a message will come in to my mailbox, instantly I get the notification in both Outlook and the N1. I will read the message in Outlook, decide to keep it (mark it as unread)/delete it (move it to deleted items) and the N1 will keep notifying me via Trackball glow that I have an unread message even though I've read it.
If I read or delete a message on the N1 it is always pushed back to the Exchange server (and consequently Outlook) immediately.
Anyone else experience this? It is okay when I am not near Outlook, but when I'm in the office it is very annoying to be alerted about messages that I've already read or deleted.
This type of behavior is not happening on my iPhone 3GS when I had it connected and this type of behavior does not happen for my GMail account on the N1.
I actually believe the update to a message from read to unread may actually get pushed to the device they just don't clear the notification. I can confirm this by going in to the mail app and I noticed all the changes I've made are up to date.
The issue seems to be that the notifications won't auto-clear on the N1 once the changes have already been pushed to the phone. This really sucks
Can anyone confirm my findings? Thanks
I can also confirm this. The notification has to be cleared manually. Once the notification is there it's there until you acknowledge it.
Froyo, Desire, they all do that. Notification doesn't clear automatically apparently. Would be nice if it did. Once a check of unread/read is done, just clear the alerts once open/moved etc..

Google Mail notifications will clear automatically so it is definitely something they left out inadvertently. I hope they can fix it soon.
I switched back to my iPhone for the time being because of this. Does anyone know if there have been any attempts to fix this issue in 2.3?
Thanks.

G1 SMS reliability?

I am not sure about this, but I have over 4000+ messages stored in the Messaging application. Does this cause the messaging application to become unreliable and drop messages / have problem sending them? I am dropping messages and sometimes my phone says that a message was not sent, but in fact it was, or it just stays on "pending" indefinitely but actually sends the message, and then when you restart the phone it tries to resend the message again and it confuses people.
So is there anyway to get around this? I really like saving and keeping all my messages, they are all backed up by email online though, its just I like them on my phone
I am running Super D 1.10.2 with the DarkStar theme. (Yes I am running an out of date donut ROM, only because I love DarkStar too much and it has not been ported to the newer ROM)
I do know alot of threads and messages can bog down the G1 (Limited Ram and flash space and all).
Do you need to keep 4k messages? Active?
Why not use a sms backup app, and clear out the phone for now.
Having the same problem using COS-DS and CyanogenMod 6.1 on my G1. I only have about 50 messages stored, but still most SMS don't reach me, they get dropped silently :-(
Sending doesn't seem to be a problem though.

[Q] Messages Glitch

I have recently flashed DDJG4 and its by far the smoothest eclair for me but I have noticed that some of my contacts have a bug in messaging. Only their number shows up opposed to their name. This is annoying as I dont know who the message is from unless i open the contact details.
Contact details is fine, no problem. Just the messaging app.
Anyone else notice this? any fix ideas?
thanks
don't have enough messages from different people to confirm (only 4 so far). however, on a related note, do you see a long delay between unlocking the screen using the puzzle piece and the corresponding message opening in the messaging app?
Not checked. I use pattern lock. Ill have a go and see.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Sorry to say, but its just you.
I have over 41 conversations and all the names display correctly.
I noticed lagging on the lock screen to messaging in ddjf3
In ddjg4 there is no more lag anywhere.
I put the ext2 1gb lagfix just for the heck of it and the phone is now faster than me.
Reflash and see whats wrong.
Use the Backup apps from ritesh sahu.
I use them to backup my data before flashing.
I have the same problem too when I imported/restored about 150 old messages. Did you manage somehow to get rid of the problem? On my phone it's only some contacts where only the number is shown and not connected to a contact. This problem started for me when changing to the jm firmware line. For the jf and jg firmwares this problem does not appear.
Strangely, handcent sms has no problem with the sms/contacts. Therefore, this has to be a bug in the samsung sms application, not in our data.

[Q] Texting issues

Hello all,
I am having an issue with mass texting for legitimate reasons (not SMS bombing). When 2.1 came out, it limited recipients of a message to 40, but I regularly send messages out to ~100 contacts. Naturally, I just made do, but I'm looking for an answer now. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? Yes, I have already searched to no avail. Also, with 2.1, when I would send a mass text to a group, it would be sent via email to the address linked to their facebook account. I solved this by wiping my phone and disabling facebook sync from the get-go, but would also like to see if anyone else had experienced this problem. When I would view my contacts in gmail, the primary means of contact was still to their cell, but the messaging app would send the message through email.
Thanks for all of the help ahead of time,
kwg8t7
Big bump. Still not resolved. Any ideas?
