Hi. My wife is a new HTC One owner....and is having a hard time.
She wants to use the native email app...as its good with using more then one gmail account...but it wont scale down to fit the screen. Is driving her batty. Is there a setting she is missing. I know the gmail app does that perfectly but isnt good with more then one account (or is it with the new update????)
Please someone....help

This frustrates me as well. While it does auto scale text emails it doesn't work on images. I've done quite a bit of searching and found no solutions for the stock mail app. And no, there are presently no settings you're missing. However the solution is coming; 4.2.2 has an option for this which will hopefully translate to sense 5
Best you can do for now is switch to a different app or rotate the phone.

My solution so far is a mixed bag.
Ive tried just putting my three gmail accounts in gmail and forgetting the native mail client. It solved the scale problem perfectly....but it doesnt have an All inbox..and switching from one e-mail to another was a pain in the ars.
I then went to aqua mail.....and so far thats the one im using.
Can you please (please) tell me more about how the e-mail will change in 4.2.2? That sounds interesting....have you heard when its coming (to the states and at&t)?
Thanks

Hmm good to know, thanks, maybe I'll try that client!
Here's some who find 4.2.2 has helped them with this issue:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x/178937-converted-ios-frustrated-email.html
Now that I think more about this it could be that 4.2 specifically improves this for Gmail, while the manufacturer apps may not (like HTCs)... But I still maintain hope that the added option in 4.2 will translate into the other one too. But to answer your question specifically the change is just a toggle switch.
It seems kind of stupid that this is even an issue considering how basic it is...All because android doesn't seem to play nice with HTML in email apparently

Edit: oh and about when we get the OTA, soon... ish... Hopefully... a lot of Europe got it last week so others shouldn't be terribly far behind. Keep an eye on the HTC One mega thread here on XDA, it'll likely show up in there first when it hits other regions.

Write Asurion in Market and download the address book and the mix ins you want to get installed...
Amazing app, let's see how it develops...
im gonna bumb this cause this app is pretty cool. It connects all your contacts with facebook and twitter or w/e social network u use. It takes a couple min to setup and sync all your contacts though. I liked the notifications that it gave you for each contact. I did find it a little slow and the interface isnt really apealing. All in all, its pretty good just needs work on the interface and on the speed as well...
Havin some difficulty figuring out how to set up different notifications.
Pictures for contacts dont update with the FB page.
Ugly UI.
But to be honest the FB portion is better than the FB app. Its worth it for that alone. Alot of functionality seemingly. Absolutely needs to be streamlined.
still too laggy for daily use. it froze my phone for a good 4 minutes.
I messed with it a little. Seemed to be really slow on my G1 with CM 4.1.999.
My personal faveorite contacts app is still StarContact - I just wish they'd update it... I'd at least like to see contact photos. I hate it when good apps go abandoned.
As it stands it certainly isnt an Addybook replacement by any means.
I do hope they stick with it.
This is easily replacing my phonebook. I love it! I don't know what these other people are talking about with lag, but on cyan 4.2.2 it is phenomenal! I am blown away by it and am so glad something similar to voxmobiles upcoming effort has come out.
i'd love to try it out, unfortunately it seems it's not yet available here in germany - at least not for me
if someone could pass it on to it'd be much appreciated
cheers
anyone have a direct link? I can't find it in the market. Thanks!
Yeah I cant find it either.
I read in one of the market comments that it doesn't sync with Google, is that true?
cant find this in the market i found the you tube and speed dialer but no address book. anyone have a link?
Those of you who can't find it, where do you live. My buddy from Canada couldn't find it either. Might be a regional issue but I'm not sure.

Also have T-Mobile USA and found it. Search for Asurion.
It's a great app, but I found it has issues with the MixIn settings. It still gives notifications even though I disable them. It appears other people have issues with the settings as well that want to change update intervals so they don't use so much data. Keep in mind this is still in beta. Can't wait for an update.
can't find it. I have t-mobile USA. searched asurion and only the speed dialer and you tube mix in shows up. I'm running xrom if that helps. even if i try getting the link straight form the website, it doesn't show up. weird.
Which email program do you use? Do you use the gmail app, the email app, or a separate application?
I personally prefer the look and functionality of the email app, but the quickness of the gmail app and it's push gmail notifications.
anyone else?
Personally, I don't care for either of the email apps on the phone. I use K9 for everything.

k9 you say. i'll look into that.
Don't use the version that's in the Android Market. It's actually an older version. If you search for it on Google, you can get the code.google.com page with the latest version and then Sideload it onto your phone. I believe the latest is 3.102.
Edit: I stand corrected, it's now 3.105

Heh, I already had it downloaded before i read this, but I put the newest version on like you said and the one issue I had is fixed already.
On the market version, it wasn't going directly to my inbox. on the 3.105 it does. I really like this app. thanks for the suggestion.
Anytime
It seems to fill in the voids left by the default Email app that comes with the phone.
I use mail droid but it's still in beta, I can't get links to open the browser sometimes. It does supposedly work with microsoft exchange servers. I'll look into k9

When i tried K9 a month ago, it was agonizingly slow - attributed to the phone lag by most.
Are you guys seeing the lag, or do you have the lag fix installed? Maybe K9 changed something?
Also, have they added real PUSH/Sync yet for Gmail and Exchange or are they still polling and doing WebDav stuff?
Do you have a link for it or what you actually searched for in google, I can not seem to find it.
thanks!

I switched from using the Gmail and Email apps to K-9. So far I prefer it because of the options and the integrated inbox w/ push for my gmail account.
double post...
Thanks, I was thinking it was a google product and was searching for the wrong thing. Just installed it and looks pretty good so far.

Unfortunately, it's still not real push yet, but the app itself does seem to be pretty fast now. But I have it poll every 2 hours and that works fine for me.
Edit: They also seem to be churning out lots of bug fixes and releasing the updated version pretty fast. It went from 3105 to 3107 as of 8 hours prior to this edit.
I have tried quite a few as the stock left a lot to be desired. I used Maildroid,while good, it was very slow for me. I tried Seven until I noticed it sent an international mms everytime you added an account and doesn't do HTML emails. Now I'm down to K-9 which I like, just visually unappealing.
I guess its just trial and error until you find features you like.
After reading this thread I downloaded k9 and I do agree its better than maildroid. It gives the notification faster (i have both running right now) and the universal mailbox is icing on the cake. Thanks guys!

I honestly don't love any mail client. I tried K9, but it is terribly ugly and more importantly than that, it doesn't do pinch zoom smoothly at all. The samsung app is very attractive looking, but its slow as hell and doesn't do push for gmail. Ultimately, I am currently sticking with the gmail app. Since no other app does what I want anyway, I figure why not use the fastest one? With push for gmail and faster performance, I'll switch back to the stock samsung app...maybe in a new version? I guess we'll see...
If only the Gmail app would let you select/copy text from the messages...

I never knew that, then again, never tried to do it.
And for those who say K9 isn't very visually appealing, if it works, and does what you need when you need it to, then I can't see a reason to complain. You could say the same about a car, if it's your only choice, and it gets you from point A to point B in one piece and on time, you take it.
I dunno man, I bought a mercedes cause I like the comfort, it's stylish, and because I simply won't be caught driving a hyundai. Having said that, I just installed K9 and it's pretty ugly, more like driving a kia I suppose. Uninstalling now. Stock gmail app for me it is!

In the days before our official Froyo release there are a couple things i would like to ask around here.
I know everyone wants a fix for the slower behaviour of the phone...
and all of us want a GPS-fix.
But there a few more things i would to see on our phone, and i'll start with posting what i am missing, and i really hope you all could follow my lead here and fill me in.
Things missing:
-music widget for SGS music player.
-More in depth weather app..without the OBVIOUS brand-dropping of
accuweather.
-Support for local popular social-sites in the feeds and updates widget.
(like the dutch Hyves.nl or other local sites)
-An option to look for other languages in the Aldiko eBook reader.
And i know this is a bit stating the obvious; but erhm...i want more widgets from samsung in general...there are just so few in comparison to the Sense-UI!
And some of the google standard widgets should also be there too...they aren't included on the dutch version...just a couple of em...
Well, fill me in, and post your additions to let Samsung know what we all want.
(they must be reading this right?)
Buy launcher pro plus. Way faster then the crappy touchwiz. And it got lots of build in widgets.

They need to fix the way they update SGS...when we update we lose apps, no other phone when updating android does this..... Lol I had a,moto milestone and it never happened....sure back up apps, but I dont like the fact we have to do that cause of a bug.

Scalable dialer
The email app is missing the option to accept or decline meetings. This is unacceptable for business users!
The calendar is missing an option to select which calendar is the primary calendar.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Its missing more hardware buttons! other then that I'm quite happy with the device, I'm a little annoyed at not having music player widget but I've repleaced it with Lithium Music Player which I love.
Also I really don't care for touch whiz as its a piece of cow feces. First thing I do is install LauncherPro as its quite a good and fast replacement but I can't help to think its missing something
The SGS is missing a flash..
Definitly a better mail client:
HTML support for mails
Accept/decline meetings
Needs to be way faster
The calendar is missing an option to select which calendar is the primary calendar.

In the froyo testbuilds i think it remembers your last chosen calendar, so that should do the trick for you.
As for the rest i'm pretty satisfied (apart from a little lag, gps works ok for me)

Hi guys, as I was searching through post to find solution to my issue/inquiry this is the closest thread I've found yet un-answered

Since the the X8 and the X10 are not very far off I thought I would try but none of that worked, does anyone have a clue of how to display MY image/avatar in messages, I did all the steps that I could from that post and nothing.

thanks in advance for the help.
FYI. It's not really important i just like to see a good image through my sms conversations.
Just save your own number to your contacts then add a picture to it then your picture will show up in conversions

No buddy I did that just like that post said to and no good.
So I've added my own number to the contacts.
I checked other options and still nowhere to be found.
what else can possible be a solution? any other thoughts, anyone?
EDIT: Nevermind people thanks for the help, didn't realize that a lot of changes can be done after you restart your phone. got my image in the avatar working great. just having my own number in the contacts helped.
Try go sms pro sir. It is much better than stock sms. I even remove the stock from my phone.

Not a bad point, how can I remove the stock I already have Handcent on mine and its way cooler with lots of mods, but it keeps interfering with my stock when i receive i have to be checking on both to remove notifications.
I would also like to remove, MAPS, Market, Gmail (Things that I can't use since I'm outside of the US and no internet connection unless WI-FI)
Hello,
Recently switched from GS4 4.4.2 to Note 3 now running 4.4.2
There is a check mark in the stock calendar settings that when checked displays AccuWeather graphics in the month view (i.e. sun, clouds, rain, etc) on a day to day basis.
This worked on my GS4 but not on my new Note 3.
Any help on a setting change elsewhere on the phone or a workaround to enable this feature would be appreciated.
TIA,
Pete

This is another feature that worked fine on 4.3 and which no longer works for me on 4.4.2. I too would be grateful if anyone knows how to reverse this unfortunate reversal--there are too many valuable functions lost in KitKat and not enough benefit to warrant the supposed "upgrade."
Mine works.
This is what I did.
Open calender, open settings, check AccuWeather, close settings, close calendar, allow GPS to find location and close itself, close calendar in recent apps, open calender again and it should work.
Thanks for the suggestion--it still doesn't work for me. Any other thoughts?

Sorry but I have nothing else for you. Mine still works. Even after a hard reset it works just like it should. If you are running anything but a stock ROM then perhaps try the thread for that ROM. Good luck.
