Bug with email client on G900AUCU2ANG3 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I just upgraded by AT&T Galaxy S5 to G900AUCU2ANG3 earlier today and I noticed a new bug in the email client.
When you put a checkmark next to an email and then click the trash can icon to delete it, or choose to delete an email while reading it, you can't open another email from the email list until the "1 deleted." notification on the bottom of the screen goes away. You can press on another email as much as you want, but the app will only actually open the email once the notification has disappeared.
This is a new bug, it wasn't always like this. Unfortunately, it slows down my flow as I keep having to wait for that notification disappears to continue reading emails.
Does anyone know how we can inform Samsung of this bug?

Oddly enough, this may be intentional rather than a bug. Prior to this update, the only way for me to reliably delete an email was to swipe to the left on the message in the message list. Now that I have updated, all the different ways to delete a message work. It seems that the phone is communicating with your email server to delete the message(s) and nothing else can be done until that is complete. This is just my theory.

Hmm, interesting theory.
However, the phone should be capable of doing two things at once: allowing me to read another email while it's busy deleting another one.

Email disappearing after full download

Noticed something yesterday with my POP3 Gmail account.
When I received an email, there's a link to download the entire message. I click it and it goes into a state that says it will download the rest of the message next time I receive email.
So, I hit the send/receive option and, sure enough, the entire message is loaded.
I finish reading the entire message and go back to the inbox. After a few moments, the email goes away. At least I think it does. I looked in the deleted folder, not there.
I increased the Message download limit to Entire Message so I won't have to go thru this.
Does anyone know why the message would be removed after downloading the entire message and then reading it? Where did the message go?
I have the same problem also with gmail its giving me errors saying my settings are wrong but I haven't touched anything
I'm seeing this as well. Although it doesn't always happen. Any fix yet?
It's a known issue and hope google will fix it soon
Try recent:[email protected] instead of just [email protected] not 100%

oh i love you. i setup another account and told it to use automatic setup. it put the "recent" there and I removed it. I will try.
I wish google would create a setting to let me pop only what gets in to my inbox. If something gets labeled out of there, I don't want it down to my phone.
Hi guys i have v recently got a vario 3 and i am not very clued up on its uses as yet, i was hoping for a little help?
I want to use my googlemail on my handset and i have allowed the phone to check for auto settings. this has been done and then nothing appears in the inbox.
At first i thought it was because it wont show old messages however it doesnt show new either.
I have tried to send and email from the phone to myself and it sends fine and will come up on my laptop but it will not show on the phone? Can anyone help with this at all??
Any advice would be appreciated?
Ah so its a bug ..... I thought I was going mad!

New Email Message Notification

Guys, can anybody help me with this one?
I'm running Touch-IT 12 on my Xperia but have always had the following issue.
Basically, whenever I receive a new Email message, my phone will not come out of standby to tell me. I have to bring it out of standby myself and then touch the screen in order to see the message number go up.
I have the notifications turned on and have an alert and vibration set for new Email message.
I reads somewhere to change the "AC resuming from suspend time" and "Battery resuming from suspend time" from 1 second to 60 seconds. Done this and after a soft reset, still no joy.
Can someone help with this VERY annoying problem? All I want is to be told when I get an Email! Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Sonny

install xperia tweak and on the front page of it untick disable wakeup on new message
Still no joy
Nope, still no joy.
Also, I've now noticed that if I get a new message on the phone, but don't go into my inbox, when I receive another new message, I will get the notification.
Very strange. I thought it may be down to doing a send/receive in Outlook rather than Live, but still no difference.
Very weird and so so annoying.

Dont know how i can help you then mate because i had the exact same problem and it was because i had that box ticked under xperia tweak - hope someone else knows a fix

Are you talking about push/auto update?

I don't have push email. I'm talking about Windows Live sync being set to update whenever a new message is received.
Works fine in pulling the message, just won't sound the message tone or vibrate.
Work Around
Okay, after a lot of testing I've found a work around for my problem, not really a fix.
If I go into one of my other inboxes before going into standby, the notifications work fine.
If the last inbox I went into was Hotmail, then the notification won't work. If I move over to the Outlook inbox or SMS/MMS inbox, and then do whatever I like (except go back into the Hotmail inbox), the notifications work fine.
Not sure if anyone else has this problem. If so, I hope this helps for you too.
Again, this is when setting Windows Live to sync whenever a new message is received. The results seem as good as push email to me.

One question: Do you close your inbox properly or do you just press the OK Button?
Another Work Around

I close it properly, ie press the X in the corner.
That being said, just tested the other possibility... not closing it properly and just pressing okay. With this leaving Hotmail running in the bakground, it works!
So we've come to the conclusion that minimizing Hotmail by pressing OK works and going into another inbox and properly closing messaging works also!
We're getting somewhere..!
Now only if there was a way to close Hotmail properly and not have to go into another inbox to have the notifications work!

That's strange, I had expected the opposite... Perhaps there is a problem with the "wakeup" of tmail.exe... But I really have no idea how to fix this. Isuppose you have tried Softreset?
Ha ha! Tried very many soft resets!
I've had this issue with all of the custom roms I've used (all Itje's). Not sure if it's the roms, or the phone.
Oh well, at least I have a work around for it now. Better than nothing.
hey, i consatntly receive error page of ocurring with my tmail.exe.
what is tat and why is it appearing? what is happening?
i still cannot get mail notification at all..........
Now I have an issue with the notifications engine, but the reverse!
I use Manila which reflects perfectly new emails on the email icon in the slider tab, so I don't want the envelope to appear on the bar at the top. I've disabled all notifications for email (activesync), and of course the little envelope still appears.
It also remains there with a logic I haven't been able to define, even after opening the email, so I find myself going into the notifications screen to "dismiss all".
Would anybody know how to definitively stop the notification appearing at the top of the screen in the first place?
oh. wat i wan is opposite of urs.
any1 care to help?

[Q] remove message logging?

Has anyone yet figured out a way to not have the Captivate log every single text and call you make?
It is so annoying to have to hunt all through my phone looking for tracks. Originally I assumed that they could be erased by deleting the thread in messaging. Wrong!
So then go to the contact/history and delete it there. Wrong! There is nothing in the history tab.
So then open the dialer, go to call log and look, every sent and recieved text, mms, and call is logged there as well. Its like a paranoid secret agent designed this system.
And heaven forbid that you installed a second messaging program such as Handcent to log everything all over again.
I currently use Horizon to keep my private texts private, but even that allows the outgoing texts to be logged.
Yes, deleting the thread, then selecting every individual item in the log from the unwanted caller works. Or even deleting the entire call log at once will work. But short of that has anyone come up with a work around for the call logging intrusion?
Found "Not log this call" on the market to auto delete phone calls log (Not free).
For sms you can edit the text message limit and reduce it to 1. This will at least keep 1 text message in store before it gets deleted. But default it's set to 200 msg per conversation and 20 mms per conversation.
Interesting. I looked at that app, I may have to try it.
Did you actually get your message inbox to go to 1? Mine will only go down to 10.
I am currently testing it to see if it erases the call log history as it erases the inbox but I dont think it does.
Ok, so setting the message limit to 10 only deletes the messages, not the logs.
However, while playing with it I found out that by selecting one of the logged entries (text or call) it pulls up a history type page. From there you can select the bottom left soft key, choose delete and then choose select all. I am not sure but I think it only deletes one page at a time or something as it seems to leave a few behind. I am still playing but its a hell of a lot better that trying to select each individual log in the main log screen. Its sort of what you would expect the history tab in the contact screen to do. (especially if you came from WinMo )
I hope someone else finds this helpful. I did a lot of searching and found a lot of complaints about this awful "feature" but no answers. This isnt much of an answer but its seems a bit more tolerable since I figured the history part out.
It also seems to be something Samsung adds as Evo and the Droid don't do it.
Check out HistoryEraser. I think I saw it on Lifehacker a few days ago, supposed to wipe away all your unwanted tracks.

[Q] Text message notification stuck/keeps returning

I apologize if this has been asked/resolved before, but I searched the forums and google quite a bit to no avail. I have found other instances of people with this issue but have not found a resolution yet.
Every time I receive a single text message, I get a notification on the unlock screen that says I have 2 texts. When I unlock the phone and pull down the notification area, it lists the 2 texts. One of the texts is the actual text i just received and I can access it just fine. The other text listed is a text from weeks ago that has long been deleted, including the entire thread it was in. This ghost text will not go away.
I can clear the notifications and it goes away, but as soon as I receive another text from anyone, it pops up there again. I have tried some other solutions that popped up on google. These were to download the SMS Cleaner app and search by keyword. Upon doing this, the app does not find any texts with the keywords from the ghost text.
I have also tried replying to the text to create a new thread and maybe try to delete it again, but even when the new thread is created/deleted the ghost text comes back.
I also turned off/on text notifications several times also combined with power cycling the phone, which did not solve this either.
Note: This text was from a room alert system in our server room at work. It sends email alerts that we then have converted to text message and sent to our phones.
Not sure if it being an email has anything to do with it, but I have received these alerts several times before without any of them getting stuck.
My phone is still on 2.1 and was rooted using Unleash the Beast.
Anyone have the same problem, or any ideas? Is there a folder that holds texts somewhere in the root file system that I can clean out?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much detail about the problem as possible, this has been annoying me for weeks.
Try deleting the email alert? Just spitballing...
This happened to me last night!
I keep getting the same Ghost Txt message
The only way i can think to get rid of it would be a Data Reset.
But i dont wanna erase my whole phone cuz of a software issue that may happen again!
Have u fixed it?
No, still no luck on this. Anyone have any ideas?
I had a problem similar to this with the dumb phone that i had before my Captivate. I called AT&T customer support because I didn't want to reset my phone and they got it resolved. Apparently there was a message stuck in their server marked as unread, but since it had been read on my phone it said 0 new messages. This might work for you, too?
Solved
Open the spot where notifications are read the phone number and send a text to it, it will open the message thread and you can delete it there

Email jumps to the bottom when refreshed - Rooted/stock 4.4.2

So I've had this bug for a while now, I've tried all I can think of to fix it. There doesn't seem to be an option for anything like this.
Every time I refresh any of my email accounts, from the E-Mail app, my entire inbox jumps to the very bottom (oldest) email. I then have to scroll all the way back up to see my newest unread email in the inbox.
It's not a sorting issue because the actual cursor on the right jumps down to the bottom as well. Any ideas?

I don't use the stock email app but there's probably a setting somewhere for "autoadvance" maybe try changing that to newest?
Like I said in the original post, there are no settings in the email app for that kind of thing. The only thing that comes close to that category is "Sort by" but like I said it's not a sorting issue. If it were a sorting issue my cursor would stay at the top and I would see the oldest emails first, the end of the alphabet first, etc. Instead the cursor is jumping to the very bottom of my email list instead of refreshing and staying at the top where the new emails are.
In regards to autoadvance, that is just a way to tell it what you want to see after you delete an email from the full screen message vs deleting it in list view.
