[Q] Word Doc. Email Attachments - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Just changed to the S2 after years of iPhone use. Found it a little tricky, but these forums are great and have solved loads of my questions.
The only thing I can't seem to find the answer to is a problem when opening Word Document Email attachments in K9 or Improved Mail. If I click 'Open' at the bottom of the email, it just says "This document cannot be opened". If I hit 'Save' and find the attachment in My Folders, then it opens up no problems using Polaris.
Have tried a few other Office Viewers, but the formatting doesn't work anywhere near as well as Polaris, so I'm hoping there's some hidden setting I'm missing in order to allow it to open straight from the email.
On the upside, I'm loving the S2 compared to my iPhones!
Thanks in advance for your help

[Q] HTC Sense Email unusual config

Hi..
I'm sure that I've tried every possible search for this and found nothing yet:
I need to change the HTC Sense email tab/app so that it points to 'Outlook email' without settng up an account!
There are 5 or 6 HD2's that I'm responsible for configuring (a mix of energy roms [Sept 20] and stock roms) and we use Novell Groupwise mobile server, which uses Nokia Intellisync.
On the device, you install the Intellisync client which collects all the email/contact/calendar info and shoves it into the respective application on the device.
Now this works fine with the calendar and contacts apps - you open them and all the info is there, but when you look at the Sense Email tab, it shows that there are 8 (for example) new/unread emails but when you open the tab, the sense interface says: "No Mail Account --- Tap to add a mail account" .
However, the email is there, and it's partially seeing that, as it displays the notification on the mail tab. And if you go into windows messaging, or slide across from the text tab, you can get to the outlook mail easily.
So of course my question is: How do I change this?
Thanks for looking, and for your help..
Fred
Anyone have any ideas at all to sort this out?
I cannot be the first person to have come accross this surely?
Could anyone point in the right direction in the registry? I was looking through it this morning, but couldn't find a reference to the email account location..
Please share if you have any ideas at all..
Anyone? Please help if you can, I really need this fixing!
Thanks..
Same issue...
I am having the same issue here...Anyone got a solution for this?
Thanks!
Paul
Can I persuade any of the very talented developers here on XDA devs to look into this please?
I don't know if it's a big or small problem, except the symptoms are a big problem to me!
Please, please... would someone help us? This is important...
I forgot to add, this is also an issue on the other WM6 devices I look after - this morning it's an XDA Ignito (HTC Diamond 300) with a newly flashed Energy ROM.
It's needed even more on this device than the others due to the tiny resistive screen..

[Q] Searching handwritten HTC-Notes from Evernote?

Hi,
I thought I'd seen something, somewhere that I could:
- go into the Notes applicaton
- hardwritten a shopping list (for example)
- sync to Evernote
- use Evernote for Windows to retrieve the documents from the cloud
- search for an item from the shopping list to reveal the document.
Something about this is all possible due to the way Evernote processes the image it can work out in some cases words. Now if that fantasy in my mind or is it that my handwritten on the Flyer is that bad that Evernote doesn't stand a chance?.
Thanks
Iain
I didn't check it now but Evernote search text also in handwritten notes.
If you are asking if Evernote will search your handwritten notes, the answer is yes. It does a pretty good job. I would say that it gets it right about 80% of the time even with my poor handwriting. The better you are at block letters, the better the results.
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
OK Thanks.
Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong then please?
Using 'Notes' I've created a new document and simply written "THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT".
I've allowed 'Notes' to sync with Evernote.
On my Windows PC, I've had Evernote on this sync, and it successfully picks up the new document. If I then use the Search feature it find no documents, unless the word I was searching for was typed, or contained in the insert header or footer (ie top in which reads "Note: This is a screenshot of the note that you created on HTC Flyer.").
I've attached to this post an image of the written document.
I'm only using the free version of Evernote account.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
Iain
Worked for me. You may have to wait for Evernote to run the OCR if you're just on the free version. This search was done a day after writing the note.

After one day it worked for me.
Thanks all. I now understand and it's working.
I'd read in the Evernote instructions that the image would need to processed for searching, and that Premium users had priority.
I'd thought however that once the document was available within the Evernote client that this mean't that the search processing had occurred. In fact the document will sync almost immediately, but ( I think ) will later resync to update the search information.
As SciFlyer said, once it's working it does work rather well.
Thanks again

[Q] Comcast.net email (Can't safely connect to Comcast servers)

Greetings from the Skyrocket forum. I'm looking for a little help for a friend who has a problem receiving her Comcast.net email on her phone through the native app. When she puts in her mail info, she gets this response "Can't safely connect to Comcast servers."
I have searched this forum by a variety of search terms including "email", "comcast email", "comcast", etc. I'm coming up empty handed. A google search seems to show that there's been quite a bit of questions asked about this but as for the specific answer, if there is one, I can't find it.
Has anyone with Comcast.net email and an S3 found that they cannot include that account, or is there or has a workaround been found, preferably aside from using another email client.
Thanks for your time and hopefully, answers!

[Q] Ios user moving to Androind needs email client

I have question regarding your use of the Gmail app. I am a current ios user and have purchased a Note 2. I was about to reluctantly return it and get an iphone5 (sad choice, because I loved the Note 2), but since I use my smartphones for work and use emails constantly I need a slick and easy way to sync (IMAP idle/push) four email addresses to one app.
I tried k9 and hated it. No threading/conversation view. push not responsive and def not easy to use. No server search for email. On a good day, I'll get more than 100 emails to various addresses. I sometimes need to search for a specific one. and on K9 Im stuck with only the last 25. I could increase the number of saved emails, but that takes up lots of space. Sure its powerful, but I need the basic to work quickly and easily.
Its a big change for me, moving to Android that is. and I want to make it work. Can you tell me if you can use the Gmail app (which I like), and manage, read, write to and from all my account (one Gmail, 3 domain hosted addresses)?
Thanks for you help.
I use gMail & have my main gMail account grab my home & work eMail brought into their own label (which I set up on the desktop client). Once it's setup & verified I can send from any of my email addresses from my phone.

My friend i am going through the same problem - I was *just* about to post my thread when I saw this.
I'm not going to thread jack - but below is what I was going to send - this is particularly the same problem you are facing and more over, I dont get all my sub folders and the emails dont zoom out to the max...
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is my first android device so I would require some help from you guys. I've owned iphone 2g and iphone 4 and now I thought that android had matured enough that I should jump this droid boat. Not to mention that the note 2's s-pen is a real innovation compared to other stuff android fanboys and iphone fanboys boast about.
I'm still getting used to a lot of functions about the androids and loving every moment of it. But im not particularly here to talk about that - I need some help on one thing I rely most upon...
EMAILS
iOS - email app has ALL my mailboxes (some pushing while others fetch) including their folders and sub-folders, all nicely laid out. Also whenever I open an email on the iOS device the email is zoomed out to the max and I can zoom in to my satisfaction.
Pics:
Folders of my work email & Default (max) zoomed out email - kindly check attachment
Problem - I can not get this done on the android. The following pics are from the stock email app but I tried K9, the gmail app (doesnt support exchange) but none of them could provide me the maxed zoomed out layout of the email. Niether are folders easy to access.
Pics:
Folders of my work email (missing all subfolders of the inbox) & Default (max) zoomed out email - cant zoom out any further at all!
kindly check attachment
SOLUTION? I need to know if there is an app that could work like the iOS email app?! I really want to switch to the note 2 but I still end up carrying my iphone with me and I hate it cuz one of the major reasons to switch to android and note 2 was the productivity, and yet I still end up relying on the iphone...

[Q] Gmail app crops photos from ads etc..

Hi all,
I witnessed an issue regarding all android phones/versions between 2.1-4.2 without any solution, and I couldn't find any thread that talks about it in the proprietary+google search.
The issue: pic's get cropped, and I'm forced to click the "can't view properly? click here" link to the web page.
Here's a screeenshot:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-naiwBRz1aRlprYWNyUmNWMDA/edit?usp=sharing
The issue isn't for all mails, and there are some mail that can be viewed properly within the Gmail app itself.
I'm currently running the latest Gmail app as you can see with the top nav buttons.
Anyone else experiencing this issue ?
Go into : Menu -Settings - General settings - Auto -fit messages. Check it, and back out. The message should now be entirely seen in the screen. To Zoom in just tap the screen, or use the two finger spread method.
Tried that already...just forgot to mention.
any other ideas?
It's something a bit more complicated than a just a setting or wrong usage.
Other than that, the only other thing I can suggest is to unistall mail. Then reinstall.

Thanks again for your answer !
Well I've uninstalled the gmail several times when tried the leaked Gmail apps(the first one that supports swipe to archive+pinch to zoom, and obviously the last one who supports the new tabs interface).
I'll just mention it's not a specific problem but cross device and cross android+Gmail versions.
I tried every version of android/gmail combo(forwarding lots of mail to friends etc) but each time they all get the same problem.
The only thing I figured out who kinda gave me an alternative is use the stock mail client and not the gmail one, but in that case I'm loosing lots of the Gmail app functionality.
This is really something that just myself noticed? this is not one mail or a specific sender.
In the OP you mentioned that it does not happen on all your Gmail Email. Is it just from certain People / Companies ?
No, it's usually when I get promotion emails from my bank or some online shopping websites that uses big photos that are basically links.
Moreover, it's always from automated mails BUT I think that's only because I'm not receiving large photos in personal emails.
I would recheck settings. I know sometimes when I'm frustrated, I miss stuff.

Thanks again for your effort, I'm really certain that I haven't miss an option as every new app version that releases I'm scanning all of the features.
Here's a screen shot of my settings, I've highlighted the only possible option that can affect this, by my understanding:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-naiwBRz1aSU5od1hmOWtUT3M/edit?usp=sharing
BTW In case that I'm not clear enough with the issue I can forward(if you want to PM me with your mail) you one of those mails, I got lots of them. Of course if it's ok by you...
I'd love to hear any other ideas
