Am currently with T-Mobile and have the HTC Kaiser(or vario 3 as they call it).
As I have an unlimited internet usage on the phone, I just wondered if there was an easy way I can route a text to a mobile abroad via the web(and therefore text would be free).
I don't want to have to go to a website on the phone and do it, I'd prefer to be able to send like a normal text but to send it differently so it goes via web to the mobile.
What I wanted to do is replicate what you can do from a pc, which is send a normal style text from a website to a mobile. On the recieving mobile, it appears the same as any other text, so wouldn't need it's own internet connection.
Is this possible? How easy is it?
You can't do that
but you can do what I do
Setup your email account to send/receive to ur MS outlook mobile/ w/e ur email application is...and u can send texts by typing persons' number at watever..like
for at/ t [email protected] . ...tmobile [email protected]
verizon [email protected]@messaging.sprintpcs.com
these ppl will get the text and can reply to it...and when u get the reply in ur email inbox...it'll see the contacts name...not like blah blah @ tmomail.net
i do it..i.t works greatt
I'd do that, but for some reason when I send an email from my phone, it sends out two copies... I would hate to send two texts everytime!
Edit: I just looked into this some more since I have 'the time' and I realized that it's just my gmail account that is seeing the double emails since it's saving a 'sent' copy on the phone and then doubles it up in the gmail.com app. (so this will work! Now I'll have to go through and setup everyone's texting email and another gmail account just to have the responses go through it)
Hi guys. I got a bit of an unusual problem.
I got an email account which is programmed to automatically forward all emails that come in to my gmail account. My gmail account is synchronised with my phone using active sync.
Now for some reason, my xperia (outlook) cannot show the content of the emails that I get forwarded to my gmail account. Its really weird. So to clarify, whenever I receive an email on this other account of mine, it is automatically forwarded to my gmail account which comes up on my phone. On my xperia then, I can see that I received a message, I can see the subject of the message, however I cannot see the actual text. If the message comes with an attachment, I can use and open the attachment but again, I cannot read the actual message.
I have tried a couple of things before I decided to post here. The first thing I tried is to change my active sync settings from receiving messages in "plain text" to "html" - didnt help. I have also made sure to tell active sync to always download the "whole message" and not just parts of it - didnt help.
Then I reconfigured the server so I that it automatically forwards the emails to my yahoo account (instead of my gmail account) - didnt help, on yahoo I had the same problem.
Interestingly, when I access gmail on my computer and forward one of these emails that the xperia cannot read from my gmail to my yahoo account and then access the email from my xperia on the yahoo account - it works.
Has anybody any ideas what the reason could be? To clarify right away, I cannot access my other email account directly from the xperia. It needs to be done via this "forward messages automatically" rule.
I would be appreciate any help.

no ideas anyone? I really need to get this sorted somehow. Sorry for unnecessary post but I cant let this thread disappear without an answer.
Hi guys,
I'm having a rather strange issue since I got my Black, as I've set up two different GMail accounts on my device, my personal account (to which the phone is also registered to), as well as another "work" gmail account to which all my work emails are being forwarded to.
The actual problem is each time I want to send an email via gmail (for example, I'm checking out a photo, hit share, select gmail), it automatically selects the second account added, and I've found no way to select the default "send from" account. Any clue how can I tell the phone which email address I want to send emails from by default using the gMail app?
thanks!
Hi,
I've noticed an issue with sending from different email accounts using the 'Email' app (not Gmail).
I have two Exchange accounts set up on my N7, however if I used the combined view and start composing an email I am unable to change which account the email will be sent from. Likewise if I am in the inbox for 'Account 1' then I am not able to choose 'Account 2' as the from account without coming out of the mail, switching inbox and starting a new email.
This is also a problem when using the 'share via email' capability of some apps, as I can't choose which account will do the sending.
Does anyone else have this issue?
This is also the same on my Gnex, so it's not specific to the device. Both are running stock unrooted 4.2.1

Of course. You also can't edit forwards or quoted text. This makes the stock Email client pretty useless to me.
While it would be nice to have an official Google email client that is worth a damn, in the meantime check out Aquamail.
Good afternoon, Everyone - I hope everyone is having a great Saturday so far.
I, on the other hand, am incredibly frustrated and tired of trying to figure this out on my own... Also, I am in the middle of the woods today, and on a mobile device, so I am not as careful as I always am, so if by chance this has already been asked in a different thread, I am very sorry and I apologize...
I have the Note 3 with all latest updates. Not rooted. I also have the Galaxy Gear watch, again all the latest updates. I bought this watch primarily for two uses - to get notifications of my incoming text messages using the stock Samsung messaging app. Check - works great. The other reason, was so that I could get AND read my email messages using the stock Samsung email application. Check - works gr.... uh... not exactly. And HERE is my frustration...
Currently, in my STOCK Samsung Email app, I have the following accounts set up:
3 Gmail Accounts
1 Yahoo Account
1 Exchange work email account
Every time an email comes in on ANY of these accounts, I get an immediate notification on my watch. I can swipe, and read the entire email message. This is ALL I wanted. HOWEVER, even though in the very same stock email app, in the very same combined in-box, if I get a message specifically to my work Exchange email account, the watch ONLY displays that I have a message and to open it on the phone. It will not show ANYTHING in the email. But... the other accounts do with no problem! Why just this account, in the very same email app, with the same appearance and layout as the others??? I need this account more than anything - the others are just for fun and personal family, etc.
I did manage a temporary workaround however, but I am HOPING that you amazing folks here at XDA can give me an idea towards a solution. If I set up a MANUAL account to my work server using IMAP, our work server will allow me to only CHECK the mail, but not send. So I have no choice but to keep the existing Exchange account set up in my Samsung Mail App. However, I set up a SECOND entry in the same mail app, with my email address checking the email from my work server using IMAP and TLS. I just can't send.
Once I did that, I now receive TWO of every email from work. One in my normal inbox without a notification (turned off to avoid all the extra alerts on the phone), and the OTHER entry (IMAP) that I have labeled "Galaxy Gear Work Notifier". Now, the email WILL DISPLAY on my Watch, and I can read the whole email. But, if I pick up my phone to reply to the message, I have to switch inboxes on the mail app to the "real" Exchange one, and reply to the email.
There just has to be an easier way than this!!! I also own the Sony SmartWatch 2, but I personally don't like it as much as the Gear - but the Sony will read everything with all of the second party email notifiers out there.
Regardless that this is an Exchange account, it is coming into the very SAME STOCK SAMSUNG email application - so why do all the other email accounts display their email in full on the watch, but the one Exchange mail that comes in only says "open on phone" - what am I missing? This is driving me crazy, the fact that I can't figure this out....
I would appreciate any and all ideas VERY much - more than you know. Thank you in advance for helping and for the ideas. I appreciate it!

HELLO AGAIN guys - I have an update...
I was so pissed by all of this - mainly because I was SURE there was something that I was doing wrong, and that I couldn't figure it out.... SOOO - I called Samsung, and went to tier 3 support and spoke to an engineer (called the main support line, got to the Mobile device department, then Galaxy Gear), and they said that they were aware that the notifications with Microsoft Exchange accounts, even those set up within their stock app, were temporarily broken and would refer the user to open the mail on their phone.... but an update is being released at any time now again to the Gear which fixes this issue. By taking the Exchange authentication/security out of the loop, this is why my manually set IMAP version of the same email was working. He assured me that they received a large number of calls on this specific issue, mainly because of all the business users who rely on Exchange as their email method, using the stock mail app. So he promised this was being addressed asap. At least, I now KNOW that this was not just me, and that I was not nuts. If it's "supposed" to be broken right now, and they are addressing it, then I'm fine with that and can use my IMAP workaround for the time being...
Thanks very much everyone - have a great rest of the weekend!!!
