[Q] Email Issue: Character\Text garble when using ' - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have this problem? I'm using Exchange within the email app and have a strange problem. If I type for example: I'm, I've, Don't, or anything utilizing an apostrophe, I get the following: I'm. It seems to only happen within the email app. If I check my sent email from my Evo3D, I see the garbled mess which is not only annoying but embarrassing if I'm sending professional emails. Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated. Maybe turn off HTML but that doesn't seem like a good fix.

yeah, it's a known issue:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16873
sounds like 3.2 fixes it.

Thanks for that link.

I've switched to touchdown mail due to this issue and the fact that pictures did not display properly either. Was pretty embarrassed when i sent an email to my boss that had garbled letters.

[Q] Facebook Mobile Text Question

I'm unable to comment on a Facebook Mobile Texts or reply "like" to a status via my facebook text. Example if I get a text from 358336 and it reads Pat is feeling good. If I text "like" to like that status it will not send it to 358336 it will send it to 358337 private message to the user inbox. Now I have tried everything to fix this even resetting my phone, flashing different roms and resetting my accounts setting on facebook still I cant reply to any texts from facebook.
Has anyone one else had this happen to them and if so, How did you fix it.
Happens to me too. That's an issue with Facebooks text service, not android or Eris so I don't think there's a way to fix it.

So is it still happening to you or did it just stop
Last I checked it was still doing that, after a few ppl on fbook told me I sent status comments to their inbox, so I got pissed and turned of texts alerts lol. Their text service has NEVER worked well for me, even on my old prepaid Samsung u350 (or whatever its called lol). I would set times I wanted texts, and would still get em all hours, I would sign up for friends, and only get a few, and worst of all when I had it set to NOT send me texts when I was online... I'd get em. So yea, their fault, their problem, and haven't seen any improvment in two years. I just stopped using it.

Gmail: Sender's name not displayed, only email address

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm using my X10's Gmail client for all my emails, but one problem which I have is that when I receive email, the name of the sender is not displayed, only the email address. This means having to memorise people's email addresses in order to determine who sent it exactly.
I know definitely that I have names in my address book, when I go to compose the name is there perfectly. But it doesn't show up on received mail. Any way to fix this? This is for ALL of my email, not just a few.
Thanks for any help.

Strange, works fine for me in that it does display the name and can't find any settings to change it so it doesn't.

Thanks for your attempt anyway. Its a really strange issue, I swear it used to work before.
I just noticed that I'm facing the same issue on my desktop Gmail too... Perhaps I've set something wrong with desktop Gmail?
EDIT: Actually I just realised: http://ask.metafilter.com/140633/Can-I-change-a-senders-display-name-in-Gmail
It looks like Gmail doesn't cross-reference back to contacts. That's terrible in my opinion, as I'm using my phone here in Japan, where everyone has incomprehensible emails, and they don't change their "From:" tag, making things a real pain.

Anyone found solution to (unreliable) Exhange Message Notifications?

I like this device but its still driving me crazy that I get email but don't get notified bu the device, either through noise/vibration ir numerical count.

I was about to post a question with this same issue. I notice that I have new, unread messages in my Outlook Inbox on my PC, but no notifications on my phone. So when I open the email inbox on my phone, the messages are there, but still no notifications.
Sometimes I do get notifications.
I wish I could bypass BLUR and just use stock Google Corporate Sync setup. This is probably the one thing about this phone that really irks me.

[Q] Message access forbidden by exchange policy

Hi, I am new to HTC phones and sense, so please forgive this question. I have my work's exchange email setup on my Evo 3D, without issues, however, I receive a forbidden access message when I try to click on my (text) messages icon. Any idea what's going on with this? I previously used the Nexus S on T-Mobile without any exchange policy issues.
Thanks for any assistance you provide.
Your exchange email should not be showing in your text messages. Might not be related.
Thanks for the reply, I was just simply trying to open the messages app to send a text, but it flashes the message and closes. Is there a setting I am not aware of? I agree it should not be related to exchange policies at all.
Hey there OP--
I'm having the same issues on my HTC Thunderbolt that I just upgraded to run Sense 3.0
I believe this is an issue with Sense 3.0, as I've seen a few people with the EVO 3D complaining about it.
Were you able to resolve your issue?
You should also put in a trouble ticket to your Exchange admin. It's quite possible they've got a restrictive policy in place, that's only now being enforced.
Same problem
I looked through the exchange activesync policies and did not see anything at all related to text messaging. My co-worker has an evo 3d and I used sense 3.0 on my evo 4g until I discovered the problem. By the way we are running exchange 2010 and the only customized policies are to enforce a password. Has anyone else ran into this problem?
I ended up asking our IT group to lift the policy due to the conflict. They said it should not have caused issues.
Exchange Activesync polices. Allow Internet sharing from the device * If this is unchecked, the Messaging app will be locked.

Can you elaborate on this? Is this an option I need my corporation to update, or is it something on the phone?
I'm having the same issue, been searching everywhere to fix it.

The setting would be on your work's Exchange server.
I guess the alternative would be to use an Internet based text program. They shouldn't have any control over that right?

[Q] SMS messages repeat 2-3 times

I have searched everywhere for this and can't find anything so hopefully someone can help.
When I get a text message often it comes through 2 or 3 times. I am using the stock text message program. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? It is driving me crazy!
Has to be a tmo thing because I get doubles sometimes, or out of order and I use handcent.

I get this too on O2 (uk) so must be an Amaze thing! lol
Never had it before the Amaze..
possible fix
I had this problem too. What I did was delete all contact duplicates that are in the phone and sim card. So only Google and Facebook should be left to handle contacts.
I had it before on my g2x also.

Please tell me how to do this. When I go to my contact list it only shows one entry but if I want to add someone to favorites it shows 2 or more sometimes. I can't edit them from here though. I REALLY hate that the phone stores them all over. I want ONE google contact list and nothing else. I think it is Facebook causing this. I don't want any Facebook stuff in my contact list. If you can help me delete all the extras I would love it. I have no sim card contacts and no Facebook should show. Thanks!

I discovered that I could select which contacts to use in the Contacts app. So I only show the ones on the phone. However, I did not get multiple SMS even when I had all contacts showing, so I don't know why yours would do that.
EDIT: The main gripe I have is that it automatically selects the contacts picture if they have a facebook profile picture. But it isn't that big a deal.

If you don't want any FB contacts to show removed your FB account under settings>accounts and sync>FB for HTC Sense>remove account
Here is the kicker, I only get dupes with one person, and that person is not even saved to my contacts. This has happened to this phone and my g2x, can anyone explain that?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
I'm getting the same issues but it's only happening in the last week or so.
The same thing happens to me just about every single day. It pisses me off. I get about 2 or 3 texts from the same person. The sound on my phone sounds like it's having a seizure because it's not suspecting a rapid fire of texts. Why, why, why? If someone knows the answer, feel free to chime in. I use the stock sms app and have uninstalled google voice, but that didn't help.
I get em too..but only MMS

Happens to me constantly, usually when I'm connected to wifi at home. I'm currently using Quik sense, but i doubt its the ROM.

It's not a Rom issue, I'm not even rooted. I still think it's a tmo issue.

It only seems to be happening on the Amaze though. I called t-mobile cs who pushed me through to tech supp. They couldn't figure it out either.

I wonder if it's a 2G/4G thing. I have it happen from time to time but it usually happens when I'm in an area with spotty 4G so the phone is toggling back and forth between 2G and 4G. I've had them come immediately together and then also within about 30 seconds of each other so it looks like it might be signal related? I guess the way to find out would be to force the phone to 2G only or 4G only and see if it goes away.
For those of you looking to clean up your contacts list. you can hit menu > view > and uncheck all of the things you don't want to show. I for example only show 'my contacts' and 'favorites' from google, and dont show facebook at all. That way only contacts i have on my phone on purpose that are linked to facebook will show, otherwise the extra 500+ people aren't in there. also, theres a setting on gmail if you go to your contacts page > settings > create contacts for auto-complete> and pick 'I'll add contacts myself'. This makes it so any time you email a new address or get a new email it doesn't just store the email address to your phone and gmail account. Really cuts down on clutter.

It's definitely a phone/ROM issue. As I've said before I'm on O2 (UK) and never had this problem before.
I've cleaned my contacts up as suggested and haven't had a problem in 1/2 a week..
It could be a radio ROM problem.. new 4G chip-set, new kernel,, maybe the phone isn't telling the network properly it has received the message and it is being resent?
