Did you set the option of mail to push, the times and days when push is enabled, low energy push settings, etc. ? I use the Samsung Social Hub and all my mails arrive instantly, sometimes before my pc spots them

Works fine for me, don't know if it's better than the gmail app, but since i use hotmail, yahoo and gmail i work with social hub cause it incorporates all of them.
did you set up the email correctly? Only exchange (or imap-idle) supports push
who is your email provider?

Gmail is a good app but has few issues, for example attachment downloading, sending email takes longer sometimes and many more.
Social Hub is the only perfect email app in Android. i have used stock email in My HTC Hero and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, which was so annoying, used to freeze, used to bring up same emails several times as new emails.
I have also used DroidMail and K9Mail.
They has exact same issues as Stock email.
Social Hub is the only perfect email application for Android at the moment.
Android Email support is no where near Nokia messaging and Windows.
Android simply doesnt care about email app because of Gmail
Android support for multilanguages is also poor.

I second that. Its really annoying that I can't find an good email application, even on my Wave the stock bada email app was better. Anyway hope they will improve both GMail and Social Hub client asap.

after that i moved to Stock email app which i found very nice and clean in terms of UI and performance. but now i have found that its not syncing the subfolders / lables in gmail id....Also if i opne the subfolders the little refresh button will spin and it will then show the new mails, but it wont show any new email count in the sub folders as it shows in the inbox....

I can attach any file to Gmail with "Root Explorer" app popping up a an option for attaching. I use "Download All Files" app for download attachments to phone or sdcard.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Also having the same issue with the default email client on my Galaxy S2.
Looking for an app that can sync emails (including subfolders), contacts, calender entries and tasks (for MS Exchange)
Any suggestions?
Good morning,
I just purchased my first Android Phone (SGSII - ATT) and to my unpleasant surprise, the phone cant load or play the .wav email attachments that we receive.
After doing some research on this - I gave up and wanted to share this issue with you.
Everything that I found so far was related to downloading a 3rd party app that plays the .wav files.
Here is what happens on my phone:
- When I receive an email with a .wav attachment the phone does show in the email list that there is an attachment
- When I open the email, then there is no sign for an attachment
- At the bottom of the email there is a button "Load More Details"
- When I press that button the phone displays "Downloading" and it goes into an infinite loop and never downloads anything.
I like the phone so far, but if I cant play my voice messages on it, will have to go back to my iPhone 4G... and I really dont want to go back to that slow and small phone
You help is appreciated!
Thanks

Are you using the GMail app or the other (built in) Mail app?
I just tested mine out, playing a WAV file in both email apps, and it worked fine. Showed the attachment, downloaded, and played via the built in media player.
You mentioned you installed some 3rd party app to play the WAV files. This might be your problem. I would suggest that you either uninstall this app or disassociate it from .WAV files and see if that fixes the problem.
Also, keep in mind that all WAVs are not the same. There are different internal codecs and some are incompatible with certain media players.
But I would say that this other app is more likely to be causing the problem. At least from the info you told us.
I am using the Email app (White envelop stamped with a blue & white @ symbol).
I only downloaded the 3rd party app after trying the .wav playback.
The phone refuses to even display the attachment when I open the email. In the list mode I can see that there is an attachment, but when I open the email there is no attachment...weird.
Should I be using the Gmail app for my exchange account sync?
Thank you

If it's not private, forward me the WAV you are trying to play: enki -at- phalse -dot- org. I'll see if I can play it on mine, and if not, what the differences are.
I'm not sure if the Gmail app is compatible or not with exchange, you may need to use the other built in email app (as you are).
You could also try using another, non exchange based, email provider and forward it there, just to eliminate a problem on the exchange server side.

I will forward it in a second...
In the mean time - I did test sendimg myself an mp3 file to the same Exchange account and that one worked fine.
I also sent the .wav file to my Gmail account and was also able to play it via the Gmail app on the phone.
So, it seems like the problem I am having is only for those .wav files in my Exchange Account
Tested using the email app with my corp exchange account, no problem what so ever with .wav files. It might be a problem with your exchange server that filtered out the attachment.

That is really weird because I never had any issues with my iPhone (s).
I just sent out a test .wav file to a couple of iPhone and Andoid users (not SGS2 ATT) and they can all open the file.
Here is the screenshot from the screen I get after clicking on the "Load More Details" button. There is definitely something behind the downloading message but I cannot get to it nor read it. BTW this never downloads anything, it just hangs liker that

Got your email and it played without any problems on my SG2. Used the standard email app and hit 'preview'. Downloaded and launched the media player and I heard your "test" recording.
So that eliminated the email and WAV file from being at fault. So it's down to either your device (unlikely, but possible) or the integration with your exchange server (more likely). To eliminate/vindicate the second possibility, try creating a standard IMAP/POP email account, forward the message there, and try and download/play it from the same email app. If it works, you will need to fix it on the exchange side.
I just tested again using the same Cisco phone voicemail at work and it work as well. From what I can tell from your screen shot, it is not an attachment but a URL to some internal location that is not accessible to the public networks (cell connection). Unfortunately it is hidden by the loading icon. I can only see file://.....
Does your exchange email ever show HTML email on your phone at all. It seems that your exchange server is using the rather old Exchange 2003 ActiveSync protocol that strips off the HTML and other stuff. That's why you have 'Load more details' button (just like Hotmail).
I am not sure exactly how our exchange is setup but I just found out that if I rotate the phone to landscape and then back to portrait it shows the attachment and it can play it....
I am not sure why it does that, but I have the feeling that this phone will be going back to BestBuy...
Same problem with Galaxy Glide
I have this issue with a Galaxy Glide. But I don't have any working solution. What's wrong with Samsung?

I'll try to be polite, but.....this thread was dead . Bringing it back up after 10 months of being dead and buried is called necroing here, and its frowned upon. I'm sure the OP found a solution as its been...10 months. I've never had this problem on any rom I've run.

So there are two email apps in the S3, Gmail and what appears to be the stock Samsung email client.
in order to use Gmail (push) it seems you have to keep "Sync" enabled in the options. the question is, is enabling this consumes battery by constantly polling/syncing, or is this Sync another name for Push (as in server notifies device rather than the device polling)?
I am trying to figure out what is the best way to setup push. using the Samsung email app, it appears to be true push without the need to have "Sync" on the device enabled.
the gmail app is the closest thing to "push" for all non-exchange email clients.
so i'd say if you use gmail and not exchange - use the app
both email clients can be configured for push, but gmail requires "sync" option enabled on the phone. the samsung email client doesn't require Sync to be enabled for push email..
i think i will stick with samsung email client.. seems better for push email without having to enable Sync (which might use more battery).
thanks guys
helped me also!
Guys, if you know what you are saying here, you have the solution I'm looking for since I got the S3.
The samsung galaxy s3 email client has no push option, at least I haven't found it. It used to have it in the S2. So enlight me please, how do you push gmail, yahoo, etc on samsung email?

someone posted this on another forum:
I am writing this because I want to help all these people who want to have push email when using the stock Email application on Galaxy S3 and other Android phones. I used to have a Blackberry and I find it extremely easy to use the push email option.
It is really extremely easy. This is the step-by-step process:
1. Go to phone Settings.
2. Go to Accounts and Synch.
3. Select Add Account.
4. On the screen that shows up, select Email.
5. On the next screen write your email account (eg. [email protected]) and
your password.
6. Click on Manual Setup (DO NOT CLICK ON NEXT).
7. On the next screen choose Microsoft Exchange Active Synch (yes, this is the correct one, do not be surprized!).
8. On the field Domain\user name, make sure that you have your complete email address, preceded by a \ (ie. \[email protected]).
9. Your password should also be entered (it is done automatically, but if it
is not, add it yourself).
10. In the field Echange Server use m.google.com (check with other email providers what you shoud use - I use a gmail based email service so I can not help you here, but I am sure that it is easy to find out).
11. Check Use Secure Connection and uncheck Use Client Certificate.
12. Click Next and OK if an information box pops up.
13. Change the Account options as desired and click Next.
You are all set. It works like a charm for Gmail accounts, you should make sure it works also for other services / email providers.
Good luck!

I personally use yahoo, and I still haven't found a way to make it work yet. But, gmail, according to what I've read so far, it should work just fine.
I already gave a try to the method above. It works, bute it has a few drawbacks:
1. It uses more data,more battery, more awake time than the push email client on the S2.
2. It works only for gmail, not yahoo. Because yahoo is greedy and wants money for an Exchange feature.

Im currently using Gmail app, but i wanted to ask for your oppinion.. Im in dillema between gmail app and stock email app for @gmail.com mails..

In stock email you can attach all types of files. Which is impossible in gmail app that offer to attach only a video or a picture.

Other than that ? Can you decrease font in stock app ?
i use stock app because of other site's mail account.
but using gmail app seems to be nice, too
stock has support for air view (awesome), multiple accounts (gmail, yahoo, aol, etc), nice widget
Well, one thing that is keeping me off the stock is following :
I have student email on my university... And i merged that with gmail acc, and it is set up on gmail account so when i go compose new on gmail i can choose from which account to send... I cant do that on stock email app

I have attached several times non-video, non-photo files, just using total commander as backend.

I don't get much time to play with my phone, but if I had time I'd uninstall that crappy Gmail app.
I can't say a single advantage of it over the stock email app. I like the email sent notification of stock email app if that's an advantage, I like smooth multi touch it provides, I like how the body of an mail is formatted and so on so on...
That update of Gmail app have saved it from at least 10000 uninstallation, if that's the word, Lol.

You've gotta be kidding me right?
Gmail 4.2.1 is the very definition of smoothness.
Stock email app is choppy as hell, even in this monster of fast and smooth phone.
Don't get me wrong, with the new MA5 update, stock email is much smoother than before, but still pales in comparison to Gmail
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Two differences that I know of:
1. The gmail app syncs chats but the stock email app doesn't.
2. The email notification generated by gmail when a user receives a ping when he or she is offline is synced by the gmail app but not by the stock app.

Hi
How to remove or disable gmail app? i dont want to use it
I came from iPhone and i've noticed problems in both apps.
- Gmail: No unified inbox, conversation view can be better (like iOS stock Mail app)
- Mail: No conversation view at all (and it's definitely not a good thing) and no push mail from gmail
In my daily usage i use gmail for the push service and the conversation view. But i think that iOS mail app and Gmail for iOS are better.
I've used all the other mail clients for Android and every app has some problem.

You can use the m.google.com exchange server, although I don't know how much longer that will exist.
I hate the black background on Stock Email, if you driving in car you will have problems to read, that is better on white background wit black fonts like on gmail app! So i would like only getting white background on stock mail app! Everything elese works (but surely, on my HTC ONE X) it`s much smoother! I´m on Omega 11 in moment!

I hate conversation view and that's why I disabled it in Gmail settings, maybe that's why I don't see conversation view in Gmail app as well. How do you enable conversation view in Gmail app?
And the stock email app has an option of conversation view. You can see it by pressing menu. However I don't know what it does as I haven't used it yet.
And the email client in iOS is way better than any Android client I've ever used.

You could use 'negative colours' under Accessibility. It'll make the background white. Just make a shortcut of Accessibility option which is accessible via Post key.
Also you could use the lighter email text mod of Xposed, not bad.

You can attach any file type in gmail.
If you have a file explorer installed, click attach picture, choose your file explorer as the method and then pick the file you want.
A bit dumb that you have to do it that way but it works. Lol.
I use each alternatively depending on who I'm emailing.
Also my gmail pushes mail just fine

I personally disabled the stock email app and replaced it with Aqua Mail.
I find it perfect for what I need.
Gmail app only has a problem: can´t attached all file types, so I´m using both aplications; gmail app only with gmail account and stock email with hotmail account to attached all file types.
