[Q] Automatic email app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm a QA tester testing a an upcoming device and I'm in desperate need of an app, or at the very least a work around, to one of several tests that involve the repetition of said test a few thousand times. My main concerns are the tests that say I must send and receive an email 3000 times and the same goes for SMS. I have been looking for an automatic app that I can set a number of times it will repeat the number of emails it sends but I've not found anything of use. There is auto mail sender but in the app you can't set the number of times it should send and the desktop version of it isn't quite working the way I wanted it to.
What would you all suggest?
Please and Thank you

is there another sms software for o2 xda???

Hello all,
I do a lot of mass mailing and the best phone for that in my experience is the Nokia 9210i.
Mainly because of three things:
1. all you need to do is scroll down through the names and highlight
2. if there is a problem the 9210i will resend automaically.
3. what is great is that, it has the capability to guess the names. it can even guess an initial or a half name.
the problem with the xda is that if you send to more then one person, under the log it shows it only sent one time. therefore if one of your friends did not receive it, it will say that there was an error when sending your sms but you don't know who. plus forwarding again and again making sure all your friend receives the info is such a pain....
i am just wondering is there another sms program out there that may be better then the original...
cheers...et

Received time of sent messages - how to see it?

Back when I was using Symbian nokia, it was easy to see both sent and received time of the text messages I sent. However, in Android all I have is the 'sent' time and no information on when is has been received by the recipient, other than the fact it has been received.
How can I access this info?
It seems to be a known Android limitation. You can check the discussion that is going on since 2009 here:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989
You might be able to overcome the problem by installing an app called "SMS Timestamper Fix" available on the market.
I believe that only works with the stock messaging app and I have not tested it myself but probably worths a shot.
Good luck.
I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing.
SMS timestamp fixer remedies the issue where the incoming sms is one or two hours out of sync with local time.
What I am talking about is the access to the information when the person I am sending the message to actually received this message - after, say, her phone has been switched on.
The description on the market of the app I mentioned reads:
Description
This app will fix the timestamp on incoming SMS to the time that the message was SENT, not when received by your phone.

I thought that was exactly what you were looking for. But, as I said, I didn't test it. The comments on the market are encouraging though.
No, no, no. This is something totally different to what I want.
I am using SMS timestamp fixer since a long time. It is a totally different problem I am talking about here.
So what you want is a read receipt or delivery notification (with a timestamp) which is also a known problem on Android:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2305
It seems that Handcent SMS has that function working partially, from what I read on the linked thread. Have you tried that?
From what I see, this is about delivery notification. I am getting it just fine (pending / failed / received).
What I am NOT getting is the information at what time the message has been delivered to the handset.

[Q] SMS/MMS via internet for UK 3 network

I'm a UK Three customer using Omega 9.1 ROM (FW: XXBLG1 Modem:XXLFB CSC:H3GALE4).
I work a lot offshore, way out at sea so obviously no mobile connection whatsoever for weeks however we do have a small bandwidth internet connection on the ship.
There seems to masses of apps for being able to receive and send SMS messages via the internet but many seem country specific. I don't want anything too fancy just the ability to use text messages (and preferably free???). Ideally being able to retrieve my voice messages would be awesome as normally when I get home from 4 weeks at sea I have loads and loads of voice messages (I should change my answerphone message before I leave to "Please don't leave a message as I am at sea" but I always forget)
Can anyone recommend a good way of doing this please? I understand that HandcentSMS may have this feature but their website made it look a bit overkill for my needs.
Thanks in advance
Could possibly suggest you using Whatsapp, its free from the Google Play Store and you can send messages, pictures, videos and even recorded voices messages to other whatsapp users completely free over an internet connection.
It would mean that the people who want to contact you would also need to have the Whatsapp app on there phone but it can be downloaded on Apple devices, Blackberry, Android and on newer nokia devices aswell.
I understand this may not be a perfect solution and maybe some of the people you want to contact cant have Whatsapp on there phone but it could really help with those who can.
Hope this helps
Tnanks for that. Certainly a part way solution and I guess the messages I am referring to involve close colleagues, friends and family so I'll see if we can try this route as a group.
Out of interest someone who I worked with mentioned Google Talk but as far as I have read/searched this is just a "chat/instant message" application. Surely it doesn't access my SMS messages? As far as I assume, SMS messages go through my network provider(??). The issue I really want to surmount is just to be able to receive my SMS messages when I am at sea for weeks on end. It really is frustrating getting to within sight of land (normally Aberdeen) and as soon as I get mobile reception a million and one messages start pinging in some of which were sent weeks ago.
Check out textplus. May be worth a look.

Pushbullet for notifications on your TrueSmart

Hi Folks. First of all, I'm new here. I just created a profile to suggest you the following:
Pushbullet; it's an app that allows you to send and receive notifications, links, files, etc, between devices.
So, I was thinking if maybe somebody knows a way around to use this app as a substitute for the Osmart Companion, that doesn't work so well and also depends completely on bluetooth. I'm using it right now to manually send stuff from my smartphone to the TrueSmart, but I just found out that Pushbullet now supports Tasker integration, what makes me think that, if you know how, it is possible to create a profile on Tasker that allows you to automatically send a notification to your TrueSmart whenever you receive a SMS, for example.
However, despite being a huge fan of android and apps in general, my programming skills sucks really bad, even at Tasker, which I guess must be programming for beginners.
Has anyone already tried to do something related? Please let me know.
Thanks!
I haven´t try that app, but I´m using 'Notisync' and, at least for me and until now, it´s working. The only one thing I don´t have got: automatically unlock the screen (I´m using Oclock) and show a window with the notification content in. For this, I´m using 'Notify me!' app. It turns on the screen, but not unlock it (it only shows the notification content if the screen is already on). I continue investigating .
I hope this helps someone.

I have tried many apps and so far at least this one tells me when someone is calling, i cant get it to alert me of texts though, i use hangouts as my text service default app but i even tried the standard messages app and it still doesnt allow the texts to go through, did you have to do anything special for the texts?
as for pushbullet i started messing with it the other day but all it does it notify my watch that theres a message waiting on my phone i still need to look at the phone to see/reply to the message.
figured out a way with pushbullet and tasker to show who the text is from and what the message said, now if only there was a way to reply

I don´t use SMS and never try that. But I tried an app called 'Tablet talk' that can syncronize SMS and phone calls (even when you receive phone call, it shows a window showing the contact photo and bottons to interact with that call). I configured the phone as 'phone' and the watch as 'tablet'. The problema I had was the same: it doesn´t unlock the Oclock screen.

Yeah i've been a user of tablet talk for a while and it is a good app just looking for others since i dont like always having to reconnect them together.
Hey everyone,
I contacted the developers of Push Bullet a few weeks ago when I got my TS. He indicated that it was a space they wanted to occupy for wearables and tablets. They have a number of things they're rolling out for their primary app first, but it's on the slate for the future.

how did you guys get it to install? Side load? It wont let me install from the play store since it says it is incompatible with device. I love pushbullet, and would love to use it with the TS
Yeah side loaded from dropbox.
sent from my note 3 running beans.
For sms I have been using google voice, hangouts and the XVoice+ Xposed plugin. here's how it works:
1) I have moved most people to use mt GV number to reach me as I have several PH numbers so step one is socialize the GV ph number.
2) XVoice+ forces all sms through the google voice app
3) in the google voice app > Settings > Sync and Notifications set recieve text messages to "via the messaging app.
4) if you want to use hangouts go through the steps to make it the default SMS/MMS client otherwise you can use what ever SMS app you want.
default result is I get the same conversation on my phone as on my PC as on my watch. For me this works out well.. the only issues i have are broadcast messages that are short message based like twitter to sms. Google Voice will not support these messages.

Android Email Help! How can I receive email instantaneously?

Hello,
Looking for some guidance over email. For my work I receive sales leads via email on my work mobile (android) these are transmitted to numerous competitors at the same time. Most often, my competitors beat me to the customer, even if contact straight away!
I need a way in which I can get a step ahead. I have used lots of different mail apps most have a frequency of checking for mail every minute. However, those few seconds can make all the difference.
Does anyone know of a quicker way to receive email.
Thanks
Aj
