[Q] 2 Questions concerning Video and Email - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
I just got my Tab a week ago and I'm very happy with it. I'm having a problem though with the email app on the tablet.
Whenever I receive an email with an attachment, it shows that the email has an attachment, but I cant open it. Doesnt give me anything to click on. Anyone else have this problem or knows a solution?
Second question: I tried playing movie/tv series on my tablet, which seems to work fine except for .mkv files. After some research on the internet, I downloaded several movie players in the market, none of which seem to be able to play mkv files properly. Video and sound is desyncronized and the image misses frames (looks like slow motion).
Only player which managed to play it properly is "Dice player". Although it skips like 12 seconds at the beginning of the video.
Thanks a lot.

The video question gets asked all the time. Basically if you are playing downloaded movies then you are not in control over the encoding settings and therefore subject to any playback issues associated with the tablet's hardware decoding limitations. Right off the bat know that 1080p is highly unlikely and that reliable and very acceptable playback of 720p can be achieved if you encode your own files (or re encode tnose that you download). Search this forum for handbrake settings that work for others.
As for email it might be helpful to describe what app you are using and what mailbox type.

thanks for the quick answer.
I use the email app that was on the tablet, just called email. With the K9 Email app everything seems to work (I use K9 on my phone too). However I find the UI of the "email" app better and would like to use that one on the tablet. Cant seem to find why attachments are not shown though...

hi,
i also, use the touchwizz email on tab ,
attachments is working fine, but you first have to download attachment ,then tap a few times along the blue line ,till you find the " sweet spot " !
it takes time to get use to get it right(its , on not always on same spot ) just lightly tap from top of blue line till end , of attachment ,it will open or you can just save attachment and then open image in the sd/download folder ( easier )
good luck

I've never had any problems with email attachments. What type of files are you trying to open? Do you have an app on your tablet that can handle that type of file?

it's just normal jpg files. I dont have trouble displaying them, I dont even get an option the download them. The attachment symbol is shown, but no option to actually download it.
EDIT: Okay I just played around a bit and tried forwarding an email with jpg attachment. Strangely enough the attachment is then shown and in the "email writing" window I can download the attachment. But I still dont see it when I read my mails. This cant be the answer, that I have to "forward" an email in order to be able to download the attachement.
Thanks a lot

Dice Player is as good as it'll get. You may find that after the skipping at the beginning, restarting the video (not completely, but with the slider) may allow you to play it from the beginning without the initial stutter.

ok thanks, I tried the Handbrake program which works great even with players other than Dice Player. Converting takes an awful long time though.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix my email problem?
Thanks

Not sure.
Just setup that app, I normally don't use it as I use primarily Gmail and my corporate Exchange accounts.
In testing briefly what I see when an email has an attachment is that under the message header but above the message itself there are headings for "Message" and "Attachment _". If I click the attachment heading I see the attachment with it's file size and I'm able to click that to download the attachment after which i'm given the option to select an app to open the attachment (if I haven't chosen a default action for that file type yet).

ok, I'm not given that heading for attachment. very weird...
EDIT: okay I just sent some emails to myself with a different address from my laptop. Strangely enough, I can now see the attachments... Still, the other mails in my inbox, I cant see/open the attachments.

How to download images automatically on windows mobile?

You know when you go onto your e-mail how it NEVER downloads the images contained in the email automatically but u have to keep hitting "download images" and then again when the warning appears?
Is there any way to make this stupid thing just skip this and download the images automatically? its such a pain to do this for every single email...

Yeah there is. When u set up ur e-mails go into advanced settings and click on download everything or something within those lines, lol. PM me if u have further problems. I still gotta set up my e-mails on my phone. I had to get a new phone.
you goto messaging>options>pick ur account>download size settings>download attachments>all attachments
Oh no I dont mean that, it will "download" the images (my settings are for it download the entire message and download all the attachments) I mean when you are already in your inbox and click on a message, it always blocks the images (the images show a red "x" and theres a yellow message that says " Internet Pictures Blocked") and then you have to click on the the message when it then grows larger and says "To protect your privacy, pictures from the internet are not automatically donwloaded"
Then u must click on the link underneath it which says "download internet pictures" for the pics on the email to then show up (without the red arrows)
Hopefully that explains it better than before haha
Absolutely, this has been driving me nuts. Even if you do download the internet pictures, if you go off of the message and then back to it, guess what.. DOWNLOAD INTERNET PICTURES!!!!!!
Needless to say, would be nice to find a fix for this rather retarted "feature".

Did anyone ever get a resolution to this? I have the same problem as I have now setup my WM6.1 phone with Exchange and emails with pictures dont download automatically (that is the pictures embedded WITHIN the emails dont, the actual email does download (text etc)... surely there is a reg hack for this!?!
Many thanks
Andy
*bump!*
this is so annoying, i'd love for this to automatically just work!
i was gonna ask the same exact question....basically how do i get my email html to work and show all images automatically, i already have it set to download all attachments which it will like if there is an mp3 or zip attached i can just open it but i'd like to see the images embeded in my email automatically
i too would like windows mobile to automatically download internet pictures. i don't think its going to be very easy to accomplish though.
me 3 this hiccup is driving me nuts please can someone find a way to fix it
Don't know why this is in the CDMA forum, but I'm also looking for this answer. Ideally, I'd want the ability to say "always download images from this sender", although I figure it will be an "all or nothing" type of hack.
was tossing in bed one night this week and it occured to me that there had to be a registry edit to disable that link to download images all the time, i also figured id ask, glad do know im not alone in that its a really busted "feature"
can anyone "save" the pictures into your SDcard from the emails that arent attachments .? holding finger on the photo doesnt have a "save as"
ive been trying to regedit all day on this topic!! GRRRR
haha... I concur as well
I have had this problem for the last 2 years.Surely somebody should have came out with a solution by now, or a registry hack, or even a .cab to solve this stupid repetitive problem. Anyone? maybe I wil mess around my registry some and see if I can solve this problem without bricking my brand new HTC Snap. Pray for me.
jesse
Yea it is annoying. I mean the phone allows pictures but just never displays them automatically.
Although I usually just have my settings to download TEXT only anyway because whats the purpose if you can't see the pics anyway.
Its a default 'feature' in Outlook. On a pc you can disable that, but i have looked everywhere and you cant, at least without a hack, on the POutlook. So unless M$ allows us... someone will have to find the hack...
Hi guys. I have the same problem aswell. But even worse. when i click on "download pics", it doesnt do it!!! after i have clicked it, i look at the bottom left handside of the screen(oh...TD2) for the status, it just says "downloadings pics" for about 3 secs,and then nothing happens!
Any ideas?
This is such a stupid feature and it annoys the hell out of me. dont really want to so rude... but the iphone emails are way better and it even looks brilliant!! no download pic, or "tap to scroll"!!!!
Ditto
Just chiming in that a fix of this "feature" would be great. I just picked up the Tilt 2 and assumed (yes, I know what happens...) that this would have been fixed with 6.5. Now I have to decide if I'll stick with FlexMail.
that's always been a problem with pocketpc

[APP] TexTab [Updated: Released to Market!]

Update: TexTab has been released in the market! Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta. Download links:
- Full Version
- Lite Version
TexTab is an SMS app for Android tablets. It allows you to connect your Android 2.1+ tablet to your Android 2.1+ phone over Bluetooth and send/receive SMS messages on your tablet as if you were sending them from your phone.
I've been working on this app for some time now and I feel that it is ready for public beta testing. I encourage everybody to download and install the app on both your phone and tablet, and please provide feedback here.
App Features:
- Honeycomb optimized, though not required
- Push menu button to connect devices via bluetooth, with option to select a device to automatically connect to in settings
- Conversation threads use your Google contact information to display contact info
- Widget with button to enable/disable service, and displays connection information
Known Bugs:
- Messages not saving to outbox on some devices
- Sometimes unable to connect from one device. Seems to fix after turning bluetooth off then on, on OTHER device.
- Delivery reports are not always reliable, when messages are sent or received very quickly
- Visual issues/ghosting when using Swype keyboard in portrait orientation
- Performance issues on Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
Future Development/Requested Features:
- New layout for 7" tablets
- Wifi functionality for increased range
- UI improvements
- Option to sync contacts with phone rather than cloud
- Sync sms history with phone
- Option to mute phone notifications
- Mark incoming messages as "read" on phone
- Popup dialog on received message when app is not in foreground
- MMS support
- Ability to use existing SMS app (GoSMS, Handcent, etc) to send/receive messages on ANOTHER phone
- suggestions?
Installation and Use:
Download the attached zip file and extract it somewhere on your computer. Copy the extracted file, TexTab.apk, onto both of your devices. Find the .apk file using File Manager or your favourite file browser and run it on both devices to install. Once installed, you can access it like any other app, and you can long-press on the homescreen to add the widget.
Once in the app, push the menu button to connect to a paired bluetooth device. If your devices are not paired, simply make one of them discoverable using Menu Button > Make Discoverable and then on the other device use Menu Button > Connect a Device > Scan for Devices to pair the two devices and establish a connection.
Once a connection is established, the devices should show their proper views. If not, click the settings button and change the Device Type. Under settings, you can also select the option to automatically connect to a paired device on startup. You can also enable or disable the bluetooth service under settings, or by using the button on the widget.
To send a message, either type a phone number into the Phone Number... field, or tap the Send To... button to choose a contact from the cloud. Type the message in the Enter a Message... field and tap send. Received messages will automatically show up as long as the app is enabled.
I look forward to any feedback/bug reports/praise/insults you may have!
Changelog:
See attached text file
This sounds awesome! Thanks a lot man.
Could you maybe throw up some instructions for everyone...
Edit: works great so far. Looking foward to the updates!
I updated the OP with installation and usage instructions. Let me know if they're not clear!
Cant wait to give this a try! Awesome
Will deffinately try this, sounds like what I've been looking for!
You say Future Development for WiFi, 2 ways I could suggest to have that.
1) If the tab is tethered to the phone for data (this is how I get my WiFi only tab to have data at work)
2) If they are on the same WiFi network, say I'm at home. Phone is connected to home WiFi and tab is connected to home WiFi.
Just some thoughts
*Edit*
Ok, tried it out and thats pretty cool! I like how the message shows up on the phone and the tab. Is there a way to pull down recient conversations (say from the last 24 hours) incase you wanted to continue a previous conversation? Also, if read on the tab or phone, could it show read on the other device?

This is exactly how the wifi support will work. It will still require the connect to device step, but the range will be limited by your wifi network rather than your phones bluetooth signal.

I've toyed with the idea of syncing sms history with a contact, unfortunately though any operations which involve using sms history are unsupported in the Android SDK and could break my app in the future. Marking a message as read is subject to the same problem. I'll look into it some more.
I appreciate the feedback, keep it coming!
I wanna suggest something, look at the app called texter, and the chrome app, then take a look have they work. They work by signing in on your google account on an app on the android phone, and the signing in at the same account on chrome, npw you can sms from chrome throw your phone and recive them, no matter where your phone is, it just need 3g connetion. This is like chrometophone. If you could get it working in this way it would be awsome! And the ofc still the bluetooth or something other when the tab not have internet connection
Loving this app so far, just wanted to report a bug. When a new contact sends a text, it seems to duplicate the view of prior conversations. I have one conversation that's up to three alternate views!
Edit: After a reboot, the duplicates disappeared.

Thanks, added it to the list. As a temporary fix, tapping the settings button and then tapping back will reload the contacts list and they should disappear.
Also I can't seem to delete conversations by long pressing. Is there another way?
I haven't implemented this. I'll consider it a feature suggestion! Are you wanting to delete specific messages within a thread, or whole thread for a contact?
I was actually working on something exactly like this. I did not end up getting much work done though. If you would like any help, just let me know.
Dude, your App is awesome ! ive searched for days for something like this. the only other option is syncsms and that one doesnt support "push", only "all 5 min sync". But your solution via bluetooth is just awesome
ive allready installed it on 5 different transformers for my friends. we are all very happy and would like to donate for your work.
As soon as your App is final, you should totaly put it on market for 1-2$ or more. you will be rich buddy !
Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work. ive allready bookmarked your thread =)
PS: Could you implement the function to mute the notification sound?

I won't name any names, but there is at least one other implementation of this idea. My app goes about it a little bit differently.

Just a contact thread. Specific messages would be a good option if you want this to be a full fledged texting app, but then the deletion wouldn't propogate to the phone without some magic. If this app is intended to be a messenger though, an extension of the phone when the tablet just so happens to be around, I'd like the ability to keep that interface clean and current so its not bogged down with out of date texts.
Edit: Keeping with the 'extension of the phone' idea, you could have an option to clear the text database after a certain amount of time disconnected from a device.
a friend of mine just told me that his phone is acting wierd.
he installed the app and send me 5 texts over his pad and i got them all. but his phone wont show what he wrote and in his phone there are only the sms from me and not his. we both use the lg optimus 2x.
and also his phone send 2 sms to the number "555555555" with text "default body". right after he installed the app and tried to send texts over his pad.
any idea?

I have an idea about what's happening here. As I mentioned in an earlier post, any operations that involve your phones SMS history are unsupported in the Android SDK. It sounds like your particular phone model doesn't access SMS history in the same way as other phones, so the app is unable to save sent messages in your phones SMS history.
The number "5555555555" and "default body" are used when there is a problem saving the data to your phone. The phone was told that a message was sent to that number; but no SMS was actually sent.
I'll try and find a workaround for this phone.
Do other people using this phone model have the same problem? Or any other LG phone?
No one else have that issue.
we both use the same lg and we both use a modaco rom. the only difference is, iam using modaco version ~16 and he version ~19. so the problem should lie in the difference of that roms. he just got furios because he tought the app had send 2 sms to a pricy number...
after reading your explanation we saw that everytime he sends a text to me he got a 55555555 sms with default body, so its realy the fact that his phone cant save the textmessage into the threaded sms history. its send, but not saved. on the other hand it flawlessly work on my phone. i can send a text on my pad and see it almost directly on my phone in the threaded history. funny tho =) now we're gonna flash his phone to another rom.
i'll keep an eye on this thread. it would be realy cool if you would mention it somewhere when u think u found a workarround. we will test it then =)
ah and we found another bug just now. when i want to write a new sms to contactB i have no choice to choose the number to send. so my girlfriend for example have 3 different numbers, and the app want to use the first number of the contact, in this situation its her home number.. no way to send a sms to that one ^^

Thanks for the clarification. It must be an incompatibility with the rom then.
I'll repeat for clarity: when you see a message to the number "5555555555" its simply a problem with the phone not saving the information properly. An SMS has NOT been sent to this number.
Please let me know if flashing a different rom fixes the problem!

Galaxy S2 and mms

Right quick question, I received an image via text on the stock messaging app.
It shows a play sign like you'd get on a video, so when I click the image it shows as if it's playing a file for 20 seconds.
I can then save the image into the gallery so that's fine.
But is it normal for it to show a "play" sign on an image?
Can't I have it so it just shows an image that you simply press, and a play sign if it was an actual video file.
It's not a major issue, but just bugs me slightly.
I hope you guys understand what I mean, as I'm not great at explaining things.
edit: Looks like I'm not alone

ICS Browser Long Press menu share option

So with every HTC phone I've had in the past 3 years, its always had the option when long pressing on an image in the browser, to allow you to share it directly with other applications. I would use this feature everyday when sending out MMS messages.
Since updating my HTC Rezound to ICS, that feature is now gone. It would seem that ICS doesn't have this option anymore. I've had no luck in finding an alternative way to accomplish this.. Has anybody had any success in finding a workaround or a way of getting this feature back?
Thanks.

Been looking for the same thing since I've got ICS. My most requested feature. Figure anything out yet?
The chrome browser when long pressed gives the option to share. When selected it gives a list of option to share to i.e. email, text, social media. Is this what you are referring to?

I can't comment on whether or not chrome does this pre-ICS but post it does not. We are specifically looking for the option of long-pressing on an image and being able to share it through sms (not just the web address) or email, etc.
i guessim confused. i still have the option to longpress and save a picture then send it via eamil, text, etc.. from my gallery.

That's so backwards.. /sigh
I just tried this in Maxthon browser and it gave me the option to share....
I installed maxthon browser and while it does have the ability to share the image, it doesn't share the actual picture, just the url or of the image itself. This isn't the same as the other HTC phones where it would literally paste the picture to whatever application you specified.

Which means that it saves the image then opens the message app and attaches the pic to the message automagicly. You just have to so it manually now I guess.... that's kinda lame.

It does suck to have to save it to the gallery to share it. I came from an iPhone 4 and it was a nice feature to long press on an image in the browser, copy it, then paste it in email, messages or whatever. A 2 step process now takes 8 steps but it could be worse I guess. I wish there was a fix for this but I don't think we are going to get it.

Mystery Data file in Gallery

I keep getting a mystery data file in my gallery app. I try to play the file because it shows up as a video but it doesn't work. I delete it and it eventually comes back. Here is a screenshot of the details of it. Does anyone have a suggestion of where this is coming from and how to get rid of it? Thanks!
I have the same thing. I think it showed up when I made a video available off line on drive. I haven't tried to get rid of it yet so I'm not completely sure on that.

TTS = text to speech, so it is probably related to that.
TTS File
I believe this is caused by a misplaced cache file used by TTS (Text-to_Speech) that is showing up in your gallery. It was probably created if you opened the TTS service under Accessibility in the Settings app. It should be safe to delete but may reappear if TTS is activated, directly or indirectly, again.

I have it set to googles text to speech. There is no way to turn text to speech off. Pretty sure I didn't touch it.

It looks like your gallery is mistaking the .tts file for a video file. Apparently .tts can be a file extension for MPEG-2 video formats. Check out this link for more information.
If you want it to stop showing up (and you are rooted) use a file explorer to put a blank ".nomedia" file in the /storage/external_SD/Android/data/ folder and reboot your phone. Or if I remember right, the G3 has a way to hide media files which you dont want to be seen or want to keep private.
