Hi there, I have searched, I'm sure the answer must be here, but can't find it.
Am I right in saying that the email (not Gmail) program doesn't download emails to allow you to view them when you might not have a connection to a network?
I can't find the setting for this for the life of me, is this one reason to go for a 3rd party program?
Many thanks...
Screen shot the email you want to view for later?
Not really an answer but an alternative.

Thanks, but the whole problem happens when I'm moving about my work which is a large building, I haven't opened up an email yet and when I go to I happen to be in an area where there's no network (cellular or wifi), so I haven't had the chance to screen shot it first.
Any other ideas? Surely others must have found it maddening too?
Sorry to be a pain, but is everyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds?
Many thanks

Bump!
Whilst I'm at it, is there a way to stop the screen turning off when the phone is plugged in? I'm beginning to think I'm missing some settings somewhere, these are such basic things which I've had on other phones for years........

Not sure if you're correct. I suppose you're referring to the stock email program that comes with the SGS2?. This has been modified slightly by Samsung - but, either that, or the stock android email client both do download a certain amount of your emails from the server - Go into the mail program,clickon the options button,click More...select account Settings,select "Size to retrieve emails", and choose 5 kb as a start. This should cover most txt emails.
Riz
That's the problem-I have no option to change the size downloaded.
Any other UK O2 users out there?
Can any other O2 UK users confirm whether they have this setting option our how they've got around this problem?
Many thanks.
K9 mail allows you to set the download amount.

Hi,
does anyone know how to do this using the standard pocket outlook?
When I try, I seem to have to leave it on one particular account and it checks that one only....
I'm sure pocketpc used to at somepoint did it not?
anyone got any ideas ? or third party programs that are as if not more powerfull AND are just as intergrated...
thanks for anyones help
cheers,
Sorry there is no way to do that with the standard pocket inbox!
HTH
I have to say.... thats quite pathetic
know any 3rd party progz you'd recomend?
thanks again *sighz*

might help.
I read that thanks... too much bloat for my liking though lol... (see I do search the forum lol )
covers up the battery notification on the 'start menu' (kills small menu plus with the GPRS meter thingy)
adds its own battery monitor to the today section (I already use omega one for that :lol: )
and a few other things that I forgot about (uninstalled the GPRS monitor already)
I'm not saying its a bad proggie by any means.... but I do prefer the ones I'm using the now (battery meter etc) and since IE is so crap for surfing the web ( NO OPERA !!!!!! ) I only use GPRS for collecting mail so cost isnt an issue
mail is very important to me though.... and that my friend is where this one comes in
http://www.handdata.com/hdmailpage.htm
does everything it says on the tin :lol:
I'm trying it out for the 15 day trial... anyone that wants this feature should too...
2 niggles...
1. bit expensive for all it does (but then again $20 aint tooooooooooo much)
2. the damn light comes on everytime it turns the device on to check mail... yes I know thats coz I've set it to come out of 'flight mode' to do so but I'm sure outlook manages to check mail without waking the device up fully no?
anyways cheers
was gonna post that link when I had the chance since no one had managed to come up with anything....
scratch that... has anyone managed to get it to work on a 2k3 device?
I cant seem to get it to work.... I thought it was comming on and checking my mail but by the looks of it, it was just the t-mobile 'ghost' bug....
I tried mailing the author but aint recieved a response yet...
anyone had better luck?

I had Inbox working OK on 4.01.00/TMobile (altho I was only using one email account), but tonight I switched to a Kitchen 4.00.16 and can't get it to connect reliably. So maybe it's related to an immature revision of WM2003...
thanks, yeah eventually I did get it working with 1 account although did you think the timer was accurate ?
I cant get it to check multiple accounts tho
cheers
4.01.00 is also the rom I use
If this has already been discussed, point me in the right direction please, I searched but didn't find anything.
So is there a (free, preferably) way to sync contacts between Thunderbird and my Titan? This would be a tremendous help to me!
-Randy
PS - Looked into Plaxo, didn't seem too seamless.
I've looked into this as well....if it helps to know, I went back to using Outlook...

Here's the situation: program looks good, but I'm using this at work on a corporate network that I do not have access to router settings to open a port. So, I cannot use this program unfortunately. Unless you know a way to bypass using a port over the internet.
Any other program suggestions?
I know everybody hates outlook... someone has to have an easy way to sync to Thunderbird

quick google search produced this link:
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/02/26/how-to-sync-your-pocket-pc-with-thunderbird-mobile-minute/
Provides info on two possible programs:
Birdiesync
FinchSync (which we already discussed)
Birdiesync, unfortunately is commercial
I'm going give finchsync a try right now
EDIT: reading the link I provided, it appears as if you dont need to access the router at all - you may need to guess a few times until you find a port thats not in use
EDIT 2: Just tried finchsync. Its a little tricky to set-up, but if you follow the directions outlined in the link I provided above, it isnt that bad. Synced my contacts in less than 15 seconds.

Not too bad! Only problem is that it doesnt know how to properly handle multiple info for one particular contact. For example, if you have a contact with multiple email addresses, finchsync will import each address as a separate contact. Clutters up the address book on the phone.
I'm going to suck it up and continue to use outlook...for now...

I'm going to fix my earlier post--TB doesnt know how to properly handle importing outlook contacts. Its an issue on TB end which caused TB to separate contact information so that I have like 2-3 of the same contacts, but with different data in each one.
If you fix all of TB's contacts (or dont import from outlook), finchsync will sync to the pda properly.

thanks for the effort, it just isn't seamless enough for me. i have to be able to connect my phone via USB, press sync and be done with it.
I'm pretty well versed in computers, and have no problem figuring out finchsync, it just isn't practical. i have over 300 contact in outlook too, and most of them have multiple emails, addresses, and contact phone number, it would take forever fixing them once imported to Thunderbird.
thanks though! i'll just have to wait for someone to make a plug-in for thunderbird that makes it "push-button" easy.
makes you wonder about the Staples Easy Button lol
If it is any consolation...I use birdiesync, and it works pretty good.
Thunderbird 3.0 is progressing along in dev, so maybe there will be better functionality going forward.
Post some message on David Ascher's blog for an enhancement request, and maybe it could become a higher priority. Or better jump in with both feet on open source product dev...it sounds like they need the free help.
If the dollar wasn't so down on its luck then birdiesync might not be such a bad deal.
Maybe you can lobby gc14, dcd, and all the other allstars here to work on Thunderbird while everyone waits for the newest thing in the cell phone world.
Can someone say "Creedence Clearwater Thread Revival?"
My two cents(or buck n' a half)
1. Thunderbird - WOW I absolutely LOVE it. HOWEVER their is one little thing that REALLY chaps my ass with it and thats syncing contacts throughout multiple computers. I've done so much googling on the subject you can't see the letters on my keys for "s-y-n-c t-h-u-n-d-e-r-b-i-r-d"
If someone has a good solution for a contact book that can sync BOTH TB and PDA's by all means throw it up here and lets get down to business.
2. Seems this little issue has trickled down to the pda world as well.
3. I'm looking for a TRUE SYNC! NOT a thunderbird workaround replacing the contacts file. Does birdie or Finch do that with the Titan/Mogul?
Hi all,
Just got my Black T-Mobile G2 which I've unlocked to all networks and put my o2 simcard in...
Who knows how to get the settings to the phone? I guess I need them for internet and mms? Any ideas?
-- Edit -- Thread actually changed, scroll to 2nd page to see.
Google For the settings
The phone should automatically get the settings for that sim mine did
How? My sim card is in the phone but its not downloading anything. I didnt know if tmobile removed everything apart from theirs.
How can i get the phone to download them?
APN Settings
Go to Settings-wireless control-mobile network settings-access point names
edit each one of those to corrispond with o2's settings
try these there are others search on google
my username is actually o2web not mobile web etc

Thanks for that, I got my settings from a similar place. I've noticed something strange now though...
I had a white factory unlocked hero and when linking contacts via facebook I could see their albums and flick through pics and they were great quality.
Now I have a Black Touch G2 and still on o2, I've manually put in the settings and the pictures are grainy. I presume the settings are slightly different than they are on the white one.
Can someone with a white unlocked hero please post their settings for o2?
Thanks in advance.
????
On my hero the pictures are not really clear but clear enough, they do look a little grainy.
It may have something to do with the speed of your connection at the time of syncing the contact ie gprs or HSDPA, but other than that i have no idea
sorry
Ok, did a bit more digging and found it, so for all you o2 users out there, try this.
Go into your APN settings for mobile web and change your username to bypass
Restart the phone and look at new images (old ones will be cached). Should be spot on now with no reduction in quality.
Just changed the name of this thread as its a question answered but has some great info above for UK o2 customers...
Which pics are you referring to? Is it just the Caller ID pics it displays from Facebook?
Hmm..Speedtest results shot up massively now. Not sure if coincidence though.
Thanks
Phil
well the bypass u/n and p/w should tell the network to route you round o2's transparent proxy, so i would expect it to be a bit faster at least.
wonder if there is a similar way around T-Mobile's Transparent Proxy?

When linking a person to facebook and viewing their albums.
Also when viewing actual web pages, the images are full quality.
It is a lot faster, my speed must be about twice as fast now which is great, I'll edit the title again..

Is it all working for you then? All preloaded images before you did this change will stay, unless you delete the cache, but everything else should work 100%

I didnt notice a problem before so I cant comment on that. The main reason I changed the username and password were the above reported speed increases. I must say that I have not noticed any day to day speed increases as a result.
Hi all!
So I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.0 and its my first tab. I have a HTC Desire cellphone, so android isn't completely unknown for me.
Even though I do have a few questions, maybe you guys can help me with.
1)
I have seen many screenshots where people have different background for each screen. One homepage, one called music to the left and maybe one called games to the right (just examples). And it look really awsome, how do I get it to mine?
2) It says it can have different email clients synchronized, but I cant get my yahoo mail to cooperate with it - I have no idea why. When I try to add another mail than Gmail (which I dont use) then it wont accept it. I did wrote to Samsung but they have no explanation or what so ever.
I'm a new user and cant post any outside links. I found the guide at a site called androidspot - how to setting yahoo mail on samsung galaxy tab.
3) generel tips! I really love my tab and think it is a great machine and can, in some place, be a substitute for a laptop. And that is what it is. I do have the feeling I dont really use all its function or just half of them.
Hope you guys can help me
And btw, I'm from Europe therefore there maybe be som function I cant use, like Move Hub (Damn! This one would be awsome to have!).

Hi
I can only answer your first Q:
Get this App --> https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
Maybe you should try to get an OTA update from Samsung to solve your mail problem.
Otherwise flash a newer ROM.
BTW: Good choice for the tablet ;-)

To get that app, should I get into the app store or should I go through your link, with my tab? I actually had no idea we were able to download direct from the internet, thought we had to go through the app store?
What is an OTA update? I recently updated the tab, so I suppose I have what we call touchwiz at the moment? I have heard the word "honeycomb", is that another OS or same thing as touchwiz?
According to this site you need to upgrade to a Yahoo! Mail Plus account.
Or try this

You can use the stock email app using these settings. I will post a video on my blog showing step by step soon.

opening this link on your tab will result in a question if you would like to open this like with the browser or the market, choose market.
OTA means Over The Air. but therefore you need to have setup an account at samsung. can be done under settings - about phone (or something - last option).

About a OTA, how do I get one? And mere important, what is it?
And yeah, hopefully it wont dissapoint me ;-) So far I'm happy for it. I have bought some games and for some reason it seems to have some problem playting them. Sometimes it suddently exit the game to the homescreen, and I have no idea why.
Hi
I'm a few days away from my OGWhatsapp app expiring and am desperate to find an alternative as I travel constantly between countries and having two active whatsapp accounts on my phone is an invaluable part of my life.
I've stumbled across some alternatives from this site:
http://faresandroid.blogspot.com.es/2015/01/4.html
Namely, i'm looking at ENWhatsapp and SAWhatsapp. I'm wondering whether these apks are ok as I fear installing any sort of malware or SMS trojan on my Samsung S4 Mini Duos i9192.
Many thanks
I use this one and think it is perfect, no isues in months. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339647
Thanks. Does it notify you of received messages from both accounts instantly or do you need to switch between accounts to pick up the messages?
Use this xxwhatsapp
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwqhldcwrdx350w/xxWhatsApp1.15-1.apk?dl=0
It's base on Ogwhatsapp mode last version. But it's still working. It's modified in order to not to be detected by the expiration of the 472 whatsapp server base.
Thanks MuD-GMZ. That seems to work well. Only thing is that I have to switch between the two accounts manually to see if i've received messages. A little bit annoying.
ppsa, is xxWhatsapp safe? I get the same pre-installation access warnings as SAWhatsapp and ENWhatsapp. What particularly worries me is the access the app has to sending and receiving SMS's (see attached screenshot). Not sure this if this normal though considering that I guess the app needs a whatsapp verification code via sms to activate it.
What do you think?
Many thanks!

Exactly. That's why I want to know if any of the other unofficial whatsapps are safe so that i can have two whatsapps active at the same time
In the end I tried ENWhatsapp + other variants and none of them seem to work. I get an error during the installation process that oddly states that '"the app expired on May 18th 2060"!!
I am, though, using a Playstore app called Disa Beta:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disa&hl=en
It has a strange UI but it allows me to do exactly what I was looking for: have 2 whatsapp accounts simultaneously active on my dual sim phone.
I've used it, but it's not as friendly to use
It works again? Thanks.
