Hi folks,
For some reason I can only attach pictures to Gmail emails. This is really annoying as I'd like to attach a pdf which I downloaded using the browser but it doesn't seem to give me that option?! There is a "downloads" section when I browse for an attachment, but it only shows images I've downloaded.
Does anyone know how to fix this..?
Thanks,
James
Just tried in Astro - scroll to the actual PDF on your SDCard and press and hold - bottom option is send, choose this and it gives you Via Gmail or Via HTC mail options.
Not actually sent anything but that looks like it should work...

I can see why you think you have a problem if you create a email & try to send it the only files you can see are picture files but if you follow Daisy's advice & use a file manager to select the pdf (or any other file type for that matter) it will work for you.
Good afternoon, I also have a problem with attachments and GMail. But actually the opposite of the above. I would like to save some mail attachments to my phone, but somehow this feature is missing. And ideas?
i have another problem with the gmail app. when i get a mail with , lets say, a picture attached, i am not able to download and store that picture, just to watch it (even if i click on "download").. is there any other possibility within the gmail app to do so?

How the f#$% do you save a gmail attachment, such as a video, it shouldn't be this hard? It only gives a preview option, even after it grabs the attachment.

Open up your gmail in your web browser. The gmail that comes with the phone has this issue with saving attachments.
I'm using the stock Email app and can't figure out a way to directly save email attachments to Dropbox.
Right now, to do this, I have to find the file in my Download folder and then save it to Dropbox.
Long press on the file icon doesn't do anything and doesn't seem to be any setting in email that allows this.
Thanks for any help
Unfortunately, I have the same issue, will spend some time today and see if there is a workaround for this... I'll let ya know...
Ok, so I did some checking and setup and downloaded Box.com's mobile app. Basically same principle as Dropbox but under Box's setting on phone there is a checkbox for "enable upload to box everywhere". Once I checked this box, i was able to open an attachment on 4 different e-mail accounts with stock e-mail app and upload straight to Box. If you're not stuck on Dropbox, give this a try. Mobile App = "Box", setup account at Box.net. Hope it helps...
EDIT: Downside is, Box.net doesn't offer a free sync app for windows/mac... You would have to be a paid user... So, guess I will be waiting for Dropbox to include the feature....
Hi,
I always get TIFF files to my Gmail, and I used to open these files via the Gmail email app in my GS2.
But, since a month ago, the TIFF files are displaying very small, like a very small image.
I didnt make any changes to the ROM, or didnt install anything that may cause it.
I checked all TIFF files, and they displayed perfectly in PC or in iPhone.
Any idea what can I do?
Thanks
Hey
Anyone has an idea?
Tnx
You can use a diffetent picture viewer.

Anyone has an idea of opening tif in defualt mail app?
Just an idea....could be way off base...but....
The email app may recently have received an update.....
Select apps or manage apps in settings, select the email app from the list, and see if an option to 'uninstall updates' is visible. If it is, select it and reboot your phone....
Otherwise, try a different email app....

Have a issue with Gmail...
Phone is a Motorola Photon Q LTE, stock Jelly Bean ROM.
I have a single Gmail account on the phone, and use the stock Gmail app to send/receive.
If someone sends me an email with multiple pictures attached with different file names, everything is fine. However, if I receive an email with multiple pictures attached that all have the same file name, for example "image.jpg", within the Gmail app even though it shows all the attachments present, with unique file sizes, it displays all pictures as the first picture. Also tried saving the pictures, which save as "image.jpg", then "image_1.jpg", "image_2.jpg", etc but then when viewing within the gallery they're all the same image.
This isn't a Gmail issue because if I check the message via web based Gmail, either on a computer, or through the web browser on the phone, I can view/save the pictures without issue. So it's definitely some bug in the Gmail app itself in how it handles unique files with the same name.
Not sure that it matters, but it always seems like it's someone from an iOS device, iPhone/iPad, that I receive these messages from where all the attached pics get named the same thing.
Anyone else experience this or know of a fix/work around?
