[Q] Going to next message in email - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I do this instead of doing it with screen? Is there a back and forward button on the email app and gmail app?
thanks in advance

No offence but that sounds completely retarded.......lol
you would rather press a button on the screen than to swipe the screen to the next message....... sounds like one and the same to me
maybe im missunderstanding you, my bad.

Actually its not because if there is a bunch of things in the email body of message, you can click that by accident instead of going to next message unless there is somewhere specific to do it?
please advise

Quite, and with HTML emails, swiping to the left is more likely just to scroll the message around, rather than get to the next email. PITA, and there doesn't seem an alternative.

"Reply to All" in Email Client

Oops...!! Feel stupid!!
i tried this in an email and there was only reply and forward buttons. but realized that if i try it in one where there are actually multiple contacts, then the reply all appears.
Thanks.!!
Sorry for reviving this thread, but I have this issue that the "Reply to All" option is missing.
My case is like this:
I received an email from person A. He sent email to an email group where I belong to, let's say [email protected].
When I tried to reply, the "Reply to All" didn't appear. I could only reply to person A's email, it's supposed to be able to reply to both person A's email and [email protected] right?
In other cases, however "Reply to All" appears correctly, I have no idea, is this a bug? I just encountered this issue.
Btw my SGS2 is in 100% stock condition.
Some times there is small arrow like this '►', if you press that you will get Reply to all option.
Regards.

[Q] Messaging Interface

I had the samsung captivate and i upgraded to the Note. I don't really like the way it displays my text messages. Its groups my responses together and the same for the messages I received. How do I make it alternate, my message then a response then my message again and so on. Kind of like the iPhone.

It should be threaded if you're using the stock mms ap. I've seen this happen on my friends phone. He fixed it by making sure your clock is set up right. Something with time zone and how it syncs.
This sounds stupid, but I'm on the east cost and when i go into twrp, my clock is an hour behind times. That is how your messages are grouping.

Either your time, date, or timezone is incorrect.
Thank you everyone. It was the time issue. I just had to adjust the setting for time. Thank you.

[Q] Stock Messaging App glitch?

When I get a text while the screen is off, it shows up in the lock screen like it's supposed to. But if I pull the text down to the ring to unlock the screen, it will open up the text conversation at the 1st message in the convo instead of the most recent one. So I have to either:
A. Scroll all the way through the conversation down to the bottom, or...
B. back out to my list of threads and go back into the one from the person who just txt'd, at which point everything behaves like normal (showing the new text.)
Does anybody else get this?
I've had it happen a couple of times, not often though. Might be a silly question but have you rebooted the phone? I had a glitch when I first got mine with the audio and when I did a hard restart (with the fast boot option off) it fixed it. I've actually just left fast boot off because it starts up plenty fast no matter what.

I get this all the time. Not really a solution but an alternative to scrolling, you can touch the screen when in conversation and on the right a slider will appear and you can just slide this to the bottom. It scrolls by days so its much faster than just flicking through.
I don't know if anyone else has this problem but when I get a picture message, the date and time of the last text on the main thread screen (where you can see my conversations) for that conversation thread is always that of the pic message and only updates to the correct date and time of the last text when the pic message is deleted.

i get it too, and yes it's quite annoying and also doesn't look like they are really that concerned about fixing it if it was that way on the Rezound...
my messaging app shows the wrong time in the main screen with the message previews.

same nev. but if you click one over to sms and mms and not all messages, it shows the right time lol

The messaging app is quirky as hell. It redraws on me SO many times; it's so frustrating. It constantly shows people's phone numbers before switching to the names. I also experience the bug mentioned in this thread quite often.
It's a shame, really. The messaging app is beautiful and I LOVE that it natively does group MMS - something I'm shocked that Google has yet to implement when it's a much coveted feature in iOS. Being a college student, I see group MMS used quite often, especially with group projects.
I would switch to another messaging app, but I'll miss the lock screen functionality. I also find the UI of most alternatives to be pretty ugly.

On the sms/mms thread it shows the time of the most recent message.

Man, I thought it was just me. Like another poster mentioned, the app is beautiful, but glitchy. Has anyone else noticed it switchingover to 3G and not switching back? My wife has a razr and has good signal when I drop to 3G. Seems like software, so maybe new radios will fix it?
I too experience redrawing and time being incorrect when a mms is involved in a thread between someone. And switching to the middle "sms/mms" tab does fix it. Also sometimes I'll have to back out to the main messaging screen and then go back to a thread in order for it to update. Example: I'll get a text, I go to the thread and then get another text from the same person right after. I know so because it shows up in the notification bar, but it won't show up in the thread unless I exit it and come back to it so it can refresh.
here's HTC's response as to why it redraws:
"As far as the SMS application, I have noticed that. To be honest with you, the SMS application just like the People application is only an application that is designed to read a database, it doesn't actually store the information. Not only this, but as you may already know, SMS is sent through the network as number only, so when the phone gets the message its actually nothing but a number and the contents (data/text). So, when the phone receives the message it places it in the dialer storage application's databases. Then the messaging application polls that database to load all the available message threads, then the message application polls the contact storage database to cross-reference all of the contact information with the information in the message, and finally it links the storage information from the contact database to the message"

very good point. and any other phone does this too. dont know why its a big deal here?
another issue I have noticed is if you are using the voice dictation with Google now to send a text to someone then that text may not show up in the messaging thread between you and that person.
Not to go too far off topic, but have any of you guys tried Handcent SMS? It's a free SMS/MMS replacement app that is so much better than any preinstalled messaging app I've used on Android.
You can have new messages show as a on-screen pop-up that can bypass the lockscreen and directly show you the message and let you reply from the pop-up. It also does group MMS (among many other options I won't go into detail about).
It's extremely more customizable than any Android stock messaging app I've seen, and it's the first thing me and all the friends I've told about it install on their new Android phones. Set aside 30 minutes to set all the options the way you want it, as there are many of them.
Stock htc one looks better in my opinion. I used to use go sms pro on my old incredible with aokp rom

Handcent just looks like a failed attempt at knocking off the iPhone messaging app. And its just heavy. The HTC one is polished and extremely smooth, and customizable to a reasonable extent.

[Q] Notifications are not being marked as read?

So when I read a gmail and then swipe away it is not marked as read on my phone I still have to go on the phone. This also occurs in hangouts even when I reply via the watch.
Is this an Android Wear bug or am I swiping the wrong way or something?
Same here, I wondered the same thing, I use it a lot to read emails and reply to messages which then causes to see a bunch 'unseen' messages and emails on the phone once you open it. A bit disappointing to have this great tool to handle messages but actually having to handle them twice for them to go away.

No that's how it works at the moment. Swiping away does the same thing as swiping away the notification on the phone. It's not marked as read there either. What you can do instead is choosing "open on phone" as that marks it as read.

[Q] Sms Draft Reminder

Not sure if this is the correct section to post this. But does anyone know of an app that reminds you of when you have a draft in your sms app, or an unsent message, like one you are still typing? I know it seems like a small thing but I tend to get distracted while texting and dont realize I didnt sent a text and then dont check for another 2 hours or something.
Thanks ahead!
