So is anyone here using both facebook contacts (with phonenumbers ofcourse) and GO Sms? I love Go SMS, in my opinion it beats ChompSMS (which has the same problem) and HandCent (Which doesnt have the problem, but it looks like crap). But the problem is that it simply cant show facebook contacts.. When composing an sms it won't show anyone who is a facebook contact and where as in the standard messaging app i can see the name and photo of a contact who sent me an sms, in Go SMS it just shows the phone number.
Is there anything that can be done or is it entirely up to the Go SMS developer? 90% of my contacts are just facebook people, i can't be arsed to manually create them all as normal contacts
Thanks,
No one can help?
Just found this thread via Google, I can't believe how much time I've wasted messing around with Google Contacts/FB Sync for this issue.
My suggestion is file a bug report on GoSMS and hope the devs can fix it. It shouldn't even be that difficult - just a specific case for handling Facebook contacts. They've demonstrated they're willing to deal with FB-specific issues as shown by their new 'import FB photo' feature.
Do let me know if you figure out a workaround? Like you, I know Handcent does it fine, but it looks like arse.

You have to have a rooted phone.
Rebuild the contact database or install a custom rom with that feature installed.
Will try to search some links for you and update the post

seems like both go sms and handcent are unable to pull up access to facebook contacts, stock messaging will, but no go on searching in other apps.
anyone know of a workaround?

Strange GO SMS Pro for me is working fine. Its not allowing facebook photos to show up otherwise its fine for me.
I'm guessing so app's are crossing over and garbling crap up
anyone have any idea what the samsung app "facebook for syncing" is in the accounts manager vs facebook/friendcaster.
I've found that friendcaster will sync my facebook friends..but not my numbers...
and facebook app will do both..but other app's arent registering them
and as far as I can tell the samsung facebook app for syncing is just for gallery/calender...but yet I can't get calender to work, just error's out.
Hi all,
I'm using Cm9 latest build.
My problem is when configuring exchange account in the stock Email app. the schedule appointments and meetings feature is not working.
if someone sends me a meeting request from outlook to my Email, i see the email but nothing more than that - meaning the .ics file that is attached to the body of the mail is not accessible and not visible, hence i cannot accept\deny\cancel the meeting request or even know about the meeting...
i noticed this happens on pop3 emails too. so end result the email app of cm9 doesn't handle .ics and doesn't even show the file as an attachment! WHAT AN ANNOYING BUG.
so guys any way to fix this ?
Thanks

Hi,
Well i just found this thread
http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/downloads/list
It looks like Google is simply unable to develop such a simple ability in their Email app. makes me think maybe i was wrong deciding on Android.
it's a shame - they know about this since 2008 !!!
I'm giving up - Waiting for the nest Iphone.
So folx, tell me which one do you prefer and why?
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..
Thanks
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
R: Stock e-mail vs Gmail 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.

Hi,
I am searching for a good mail app.
I am receiving many emails from different accounts (approx 6 different accounts) and I would like to have a way to read the emails from the notification panel and mark them as "read" or "delete".
And, in the mail app, the best will be with a consolidated view for unread messages.
I don't want an application that "proxifies" our data (man in the middle; and they have the password of our mailbox).
Which mail app do you use ?
Thank you

Thank you for your answer.
Cloudmagic is quite expensive if I have more than 3 mail accounts; moreover my emails wil be stored on their server -/)
Mail Wise seems nice but not available in Play store for my country. I tried to use MarketEnabler to specify a [US] T Mobile value but stil doesnt work.
If you have any other idea or good app, let met know.
Thank you
K-9 is probably one of the most popular mail apps and it has options for mark read and delete in the notification panel.

I agree, although there are problems with some devices using it, as I experienced. If you also have problems try [email protected] made by the same devs I believe.

Me too agree! Also K9 is open source. You can downloaded from F-Droid market and with APG app you can firm o encrypt your e-mail message.
Also the default mail, which come with android gapp, can mark as read from the notification bar. It depends on your rom version.
