built-in email app: How to change user name? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I changed servers that I wanted to access. When I changed "general setting", fine. When I go to "Incoming settings" the user name is greyed out with old setting and will not change. Everything else will be no good without changing user name. What the heck am I overlooking here?

When i go into the app again and check my existing settings my username is greyed out too. Maybe try and delete the lot and start afresh?

I tried to do this and it keeps coming back. Downloaded k9; works very much faster. Think I will try for a while. Thanks.

[FIXED]Browser not working on 3g. Froyo stock

Hi,
The stock browser and dolphin hd doesn't connect over 3g what so ever after I updated to Froyo. Market, speedtest and opera mini all work just fine so it's a little weird.
Over wifi all is good as well. I've done restarts and checked settings but no luck.
Another issue I have is that I can't seem to get launcher pro or dolphin hd to be default.
Would be nice if anyone had some insight on this, I would prefer to not wipe.
Im having the same problem with the stock browser but skyfire is working just fine for me.
Re: Browser not working on 3g. Froyo stock

set up the APN manually
Re: Browser not working on 3g. Froyo stock
It is set up manually since I just updated and didn't wipe. The settings haven't changed, but I guess I could try that and/or run the update again.
Edit:
Fixed it by reset to default in APN settings. Wasn't totally correct for my carrier, but I changed one small thing and it worked.
Only wondering how defaults work in froyo now...
mine is not working
all apps that use internet are fine . except the browser

I've a sim free N1 in the UK with a three (carrier) SIM. Exactly the same problem with the browser over 3G, but no issues over wifi. Opera mini works fine though. Changing the APN to "reset to default" fixed everything!
Thanks
resartig to defults will remove the settings how will that help me
Sorry to be a pain in the backside as well... I have the same problem. i re-entered the APN settings manually. And still can not get the browser to connect over 3g.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just as a side not, upon reset to default, it completly wipes whatever setting there is. And I'm currently in Saudi Arabia, after buying the phone while in the US from Tmobile [it is unlocked.]
Thanks.

There are loads of built-in carrier settings in the OS, if it removes all settings your carrier does not have their settings in the OS.
When I reset to default it came up with settings for my carrier, but it was for the wrong country so I just tweaked it a little bit.
I don't know what actually fixed it though, but the reset to default did the trick for me.
What I can tell you though is what the APN is defined as:
APN type: default,supl,mms
So with the default settings one APN is used for everything (browsing, mms and AGPS).
3g issues
I have been having 3g issues too. When I checked into the APN settings I found that there were things entered into the password and server fields. My problems were always off and on, but they seem to be better after clearing those out. I have no idea how those fields may have had values entered in them.
althought it may seem like a really stupid solution, but it worked for me.
I just cleared the proxy and port settings while in the edit access point.
And it worked... shouldn't be that way. but it works now
I'm still having this problem. Updated to Froyo from stock and browser worked for a while. Now it's just stopped over 3G
Market and everything else works over 3G but the browser won't load up any pages.
I've checked the APN settings and they are correct for Orange UK Pay Monthly. I've also opened the browser settings and reset to default.
Any other ideas?
Fixed it.
Opened the APN settings and deleted the APN. Then clicked the list button to open the settings and chose "reset to defaults"

This worked for me too.
Right now I have just entered the "APN_name" in the APN settings, I have left Server, Proxy, Port blank.
Market, Mail Opera, Other apps used to work before, but Browser wouldn't. Now everything is working.
Someone should explain what is happening.
I have the same issue here. Even deleting the APN settings and reloading the defaults didn't fix. Everything works on Wi-Fi, but The stock browser and the Dolphin HD borwser don't work on 3G. Tweetdeck, Firefox, Tumblr, Facebook, Foursquare, all the others apps works on both. Does someone have an idea why?

[Android 2.2+] Multi Toggle Widget

Dear users,
Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.
To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.
With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.
Thank you all!
Hi,
I bought this app and gave it a try since it is the only one I found with REAL background data management capabilities. So, this is a great beginning, although the app is not completely useful to me. I was looking for an automatic background data toggle following WiFi status, I mean, turn on bg data when WiFi is on and turn it off at WiFi shutdown. I know this is just a manual toggle, but I was wondering if I can use the toggle along with any profiler (like Tasker, Setting Profiles, etc). This way, I could set up a rule that triggers on WiFi On/Off and changes bg data status using your widget. Unfortunately, this cannot be done as there is no 'activity' to be associated to under Multi Toggle activities node. So, my suggestion is that you expose any public activity to toggle bg data, so it can be used when setting up rules from any profiler. Of course you can also develop an app to auto turn on/off bg data on wifi on/off... ... a lot of people is waiting for that since bg data has sense when wifi is on in most of the cases. Otherwise, it will drain battery.
Another suggestion, please make an easy way to uninstall when installed as system app (restore to user app or something... just to avoid a manual removal from /system/app).
Thanks!

Thanks for your comment and support.
I will try to add an 'uninstall' procedure... Indeed it will make it much easier for me too
For the public activity, I will see to it too, though I'm not sure it's really recommended, the power-widget has been doing that until 2.3.3 and it was reported as a security hole... Would be nice though.
Just wondering something about activities, in Tasker (or similar app) can you manually specify the package, the class and the parameters? If so, even if it's not public, you might be able to do it!
Don't have the info at hand, but will update this post asap.
I haven't downloaded this app yet, but I found it because it claims to control the background data toggle via a widget. Just to confirm that we're talking about "background data" and not just "auto-sync," correct? On my DROID 2 this option is: settings -> data manager -> data delivery -> Background data.
Any updates on reverting from the system application install? I need to be able to return this phone to pre-root status.
I've found that "auto-sync" only applies to google accounts: gmail, gmail contacts and google calendar on the DROID 2. My primary email is an IMAP account and I'd prefer not to receive these notifications (and ones from other aps) during the evening hours.
My phone also likes to stop syncing randomly, and toggling background data corrects the problem. Going through the maze of settings is just too annoying to be toggling this option on a regular basis.
Also, this thread belongs in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forums. By posting here you are gaining an unfair advantage!

Hello and thanks for your interest in this app.
Yes it indeed controls background data, you should see the corresponding setting being actually changed!
And yes it needs to be installed as system app for a number of toggles to work, which is only possible on rooted phones, which luckily is your case! System apps have more rights than user-apps and a number of settings cannot be changed by user apps at all no matter what! Even using su/root feature can't help!
Note that the app will do it for you from the settings. There is no automatic way to move the app back to a user app, yet.
What you can do is try the app for a few minutes to see if it works well for you. Should you have any issues don't hesitate to contact me. You have 15 minutes to try it or get an immediate refund from Google, but I can still cancel the order at any time which will get you a full refund.
PS: I noticed 2 behaviors when installing as system app, either the settings window disappears, then no reboot is necessary, the app is installed in system folder and ready for use. Or the app says it succeeded (or failed) and the settings windows remains open. In this case I noticed it's always installed as system app, but it requires rebooting the phone. Still working on that.

I didn't know about this forum I'm very sorry for this mistake! Any ways to move the thread there?
At the time of creation, I tried contacting a moderator, but not sure it's my browser/computer (tried with Chrome and IE) but could reach the page to find who's moderator.
Anyway, no excuses, will try to contact a moderator asap.
I tried to quickly change my original post thinking that you wouldn't respond so quickly. I spotted the screenshots that clearly show the option to install as a system app, which answered my question.

Any idea when you will implement this? As my edited message above now says, I need the ability to return this phone to pre-root status. How difficult is manually uninstalling a system app like yours? Pardon my ignorance, but I'm only rooted for a specific un-related reason, so I haven't played around in the rooted world much.

Hi,
Gave it a whirl and it seemed to work. Unfortunately, I tried your new "uninstall from system" options and it wound up uninstalling the entire application from my DROID 2. I'll get it back on there when I have some more time to play with it. Just be aware that it does a little more than uninstalling from system.
Is this greyed out heading "(System) Toggles" supposed to stay greyed out once it's installed as a system application? The only indication that a system install was in effect was that the option to install as a system application now said uninstall.
You may want to leave some time for a user to grant su permissions when installing as a system application. I've seen this on other apps. It took a couple tries to be quick enough to allow your app permissions before it reported that it didn't have them.

Well, that's why I initially left this out, because uninstall from system is not as easy as installing to system! I'll try to improve it by moving the app back to user space instead, but then users might end-up with multiple installs... Quite tricky.

This is just informative as I want to make sure users understand how system (or power-widget-based) toggles do work (or do not work)...

I indeed noted that sometimes it failed after being granted su permissions... Note sure how to permanently solve this, but I'll try to put a delay before launching further commands under su process to see if it improves.
Wish it was easier to test it, but unfortunately it often requires rebooting the phone!!!
What does "synchro (system)" control? I figure what the "synchro (power)" version does, but system? Seems to disable background data, but what else?

Actually it controls both background data and auto-sync, enabling or disabling both. It disables both only when both are enabled.

Yeah, I can see what you mean.
Your widget successfully causes the background data checkbox to toggle. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my needs, however:

Unchecking background data with your widget still does not stop the IMAP emails from coming through, nor does it correct the syncing problem like toggling the option directly does. The phone seems to know that background data is off (as tested by attempting to start the Market), but it doesn't have the same effect. Only thing I noticed is that toggling background data off with your widget leaves a popup asking you to confirm if you go through the system settings and look at the checkbox. Perhaps the setting doesn't take full effect until a user acknowledges this box, which your widget currently does not do. Not sure if that's even possible.

Background data option (in settings or elsewhere) is a settings that can be checked by application, but it doesn't actually prevent any app from using data connections in the background (the warning message when disabling it).
Your IMAP app probably doesn't care about this particular setting.
On 3 phones I tested using the toggle never brought the warning message, even when opening the settings for that option!? On the other hand the warning/confirmation message is always shown when enabling WIFI localization.
Looks like a ROM's bug?
....looks great~ got to try this .

is there a way to control the brightness levels for each state of the brightness toggle icon?
all in all nice widget tho!
Can;t install app as system
I recently bought your app but I'm having trouble installing it as a system app. Everything seems to work fine when I try to install it, I rebbot my phone, but after reboot the app is still an "user app" and the system toggles dont work...
Could you help me please? Because I'd really love to be abble to use the system toggles (specially the one to toggle System Location).
Thank you

This feature requires a rooted device as explained in app description: "10 System toggles (requires rooted phones to install app to system)"
Are you sure your device is rooted as you mentioned in your PM your /data directory is empty I suspect it's not.
Hi, this is a great app but it won't turn off the location (system) after turn on.
I have to manually go settings > google > untick everything.

[Q] No Group MMS Threading!!

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got my Nexus 4 (Yeah!), started it up, logged into my google acct, everything started downloading/restoring from google. I checked out the Messaging app and settings, and noticed a "group messages" setting. Sweet!!! But then I got a system update notification. I obviously installed it. After installing it, I used gobackup pro to restore my messaging threads. NOT THE APP, just the threads. Checking the settings again, the "group messages" setting was gone! Just gone! Not sure if it was the system update, or the thread restore, but I am perplexed. I've done 2 factory resets since, but the setting is still gone. Messaging ver. is 4.2-57622 or something like that (don't have the phone with me at the moment.) I'm guessing it had to do with the system update, and that is why it's still not there after the factory resets, but, I really have no idea. I am stock, no root, or unlocked bootloader. Stock, pure stock (the reason I bought a nexus device). Any help or related info would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere, and seem to be the only one with this issue. Any screenshots of anyone else's messaging settings running that app version would help too. Thanks
You'd probably get more help if this was in the Q&A section.

Man, I'm confused. I have no idea what happened. The group part is totally omitted from mine. I've tried to reinstall the app, but can't get very far without root. Thank you for the screenshot. At least I know that the setting isn't just hidden in the Ota update.
Have you tried the reset settings to default option? Or clearing the data for the messaging app?

Yeah, done both. One thing someone just said in another thread, isit may be carrier dependent, and the OTA update hides the setting unless your carrier supports it. Being as I have only played with the phone on wifi just to make sure I am happy with it and don't want to return it,(as it is a christmas present ) I'm starting to wonder if that is my problem. I have no sim installed, so the settings may be hidden until you pop a sim in and the phone recognizes that your carrier supports it.

That just tells me the apps that are using location. not the order they used it.
I have a feeling its FB. Esp since this phone came with some special version that puts a unread notifications number on the icon. I went into the app and turned off all locations settings. lets see if that helps.

Privatespace

Anybody have issues with Privatespace where you can't access the Settings? When I'm in privatespace and pressed the Settings icon, it just goes back to homescreen and won't let me access. Please help. Thanks.
Anybody?
I don't use private space but you could try a third party launcher that allows custom shortcuts and add "settings".
Else you might have to delete and re-add the private space.

never tried it before though, seems to run a seperate os in a virtual machine or something.
cause in the private space i'm not logged into any accounts and apps aren't visibly installed.
but i can access the settings screen just fine from within the private-space.
