Has anyone worked out how to save an attachment from the Gmail app without a third party app.
I can only preview attachments

Get K9 Mail.
I don't want to use a third party app though
I can't believe Google would create an email app and not think that people might want to save attached files.
Edit
Looks like Gmail doesn't support mp3 attachments

I don't think there is the option to save the attachment, but what I do, I log in to my Gmail account from Web Browser on my phone and then you can save all the attachments.
I know this is not a solution you were looking for, but it's also easier than using a 3rd party app.
Cheers
Will do that until Google sort this out
Hi,
I use GSaver to save my attachments. Search for it in the market. when you choose preview from the gmail app choose gsaver to "open" it and it will prompt you for a location.
Cheers,
Daniel

My friend sent me an mp3 of their band and I wanted to save it from my gmail account to my phone...there does not seem to be an option to save. What am I missing?
wow...no one?
You have to open the e-mail in the e-mail program, not in the gmail program.
open up your browser and go to gmail that way... Then you can download from there... The gmail app only allows you to preview
That worked. Using the browser, it created /sd/download and put it in there. I changed browser settings to download to my sd card and it made /sd/sdcard/download and slapped it in there.
Thanks

Not sure what ICS did, but my contact photos are a no-show on GoSms. The photos aren't actually save to the phone, they are pulled from each contact's facebook acount via facebook sync. It will show contact photos from contacts that have photos saved on the phone, but not for the contacts that rely on the facebook images. No issues in the actual people app, or the stock messager, just on GoSMS. Anyone else having issues? Possible fix? I tried uninstalling and re-installing it, no dice.
Handcent too. Havent figured out why and can't suggest anything at this point cause nothing I've tried has worked
Edit: Guess it's just not showing facebook contact photos. Google contact photos are showing up. Stock messaging shows all pics though...hmm. still looking..
Ha. Handcent just "Updated" and now I don't get Google contact pics either, only phone pics now..
Yeah it seems to be an issued with the sense 3.6s contacts data base and third party apps.

Help! Same Issue!
I did a software update and my photos under my phonebook are updated from facebook but my handcent sms photos are not showing up at all anymore. I tried downloading GoSMS and the same error. Anyone have a solution to this? I miss seeing the pictures when I text people!
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
It's mostly is for AOSP or CM9 builds, but it works for Sense.
Cool. I'm actually four the problem. On Gingerbread, the vivid had its own unique facebook app, "facebook for htc sense ", but on ics, it useful the standard facebook app, and apparently the Facebook app doesn't let 3rd party apps have access to contacts. Why? Because Zuckerberg sucks probably. But anyway I fired the issue by deleting my accounts info on the Facebook app and installing friendcaster pro. I have friendcaster are so it was no big deal. The drawback is I can no longer use my cool friendstream widget.

What are those? I don't know what either of those are, do you mind explaining to me how those would fix my issue with handcent contact pictures not showing up?

Friendcaster has the ability to take photos from your Facebook and put them on your phone. I think that is what he was trying to say.

So the friendcaster is just an alternate to facebook. The issue I am having is that the facebook pictures show up in the phonebook but in handcent sms since I've updated they don't show at all . I was wondering if there was a way to fix THAT issue Thanks in advance
Yes using friendcaster instead will fix that issue. For me same issue, facebook pictures show in phonebook, not in gosms. Delete your Facebook account information and install friendcaster, log in and after sense links all your contacts you'll be good

Confirmed. Facebook's app has always been a steamy PoS
It is crap. I had the paid version of friendcaster already from using cyanogenmod on my captivate. The facebook app wouldn't sync photos at all on it and even my phonebook had no photos so from googleing i found friendcaster fixes the problem. The free version gets the job done but the paid version removes ads so I went ahead and paid for it.

I was having this problem even with HTC's contact widget. I wiped my facebook app data, then used titanium backup to uninstall the app. I reinstalled the app via google play and synced all contacts and the problem was fixed.

I can confirm that having both Facebook and Friendcaster accounts didn't show contact pictures, but removing the Facebook account entirely fixed the issue in a minute or two. Thanks for the advice!
Has anyone tried HaxSync? I use it but I don't use GoSMS.

I have confirmed that that using friend caster does work to get the contact pics on go sms. Thanks for making this thread. U can get the paid verision of friend caster on 4shared for free. But this is awesome lol.

Yeah and you get a cool ics look with friendcaster

That was brilliant!! I took off the Facebook account, kept Friendcaster and boom! My contact pictures are back in GoSMS... Thank you so much for the help and a great thread!!
I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook
^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.
I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.
Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic
Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.

Some help with the built-in Notes app please....I had a Note 2 and used S-note quite a bit, I used drop-sync for Dropbox as Samsung have a weird .srb file type for their notes....I've since saved all my notes as .pdf files and they are accessible in my Dropbox folder. Now I want to do something similar with my XZ, there is a built in Notes app which is basic but does the job, it has a sync option which is with Evernote, which I've created an account with them and turned the sync on though it's not syncing my notes to Evernote
Has anyone else used the Notes app yet? If so have you got Evernote sync working?
Cheers
On the top of the Notes app, just beside the icon you can see area with a number of notes you have taken. Click there and from the drop-down menu select your Evernote account, now they will sync.

I have another problem with the built-in app. It's great that it syncs with Evernote, the widget is just awesome, but you cannot edit the notes from the app, you have to open them via Evernote. If you create a note from the app, then you can edit it, but then it syncs with Evernote, and once you edit or view it in Evernote, you again cannot edit it in the built-in app. Any suggestions?
Use Google Keep instead

Under each contact (using Sony's contacts app) at the bottom there is a CONNECTION section (I am traslating from Italian, in English it could be something else) that lists a link to facebook profile for that contact. Where is this informations taken from? how can i remove it?
You have Facebook app, and Facebook in xperia.
You can both find in synchronization settings.
