Dear all,
Does anyone know how to obtain a more striking background color for 'unread emails' vs 'read emails' through the default e-mail app on the S6 edge.
Currently it is sometimes hard to differentiate the color difference (white vs light gray).
I am not able to find the Google 'Inbox' app through the play store and I doubt the APK will simply work.
I'm not to siked about having a 'third party' email app.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and kind regards,
Waarez

Thanks for your suggestion. I am able to find this app.
However it only lets you utilize google email addresses + it requires an invite.
If only I could use the standard e-mail app. Did someone else trie this before?

This has been by far the biggest gripe from everyone we have sold this phone to. They need a better option that doesn't require root so that the immense droves of "Technically Challenged" people can quiet down to a mild panic :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hi there, I have searched, I'm sure the answer must be here, but can't find it.
Am I right in saying that the email (not Gmail) program doesn't download emails to allow you to view them when you might not have a connection to a network?
I can't find the setting for this for the life of me, is this one reason to go for a 3rd party program?
Many thanks...
Screen shot the email you want to view for later?
Not really an answer but an alternative.

Thanks, but the whole problem happens when I'm moving about my work which is a large building, I haven't opened up an email yet and when I go to I happen to be in an area where there's no network (cellular or wifi), so I haven't had the chance to screen shot it first.
Any other ideas? Surely others must have found it maddening too?
Sorry to be a pain, but is everyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds?
Many thanks

Bump!
Whilst I'm at it, is there a way to stop the screen turning off when the phone is plugged in? I'm beginning to think I'm missing some settings somewhere, these are such basic things which I've had on other phones for years........

Not sure if you're correct. I suppose you're referring to the stock email program that comes with the SGS2?. This has been modified slightly by Samsung - but, either that, or the stock android email client both do download a certain amount of your emails from the server - Go into the mail program,clickon the options button,click More...select account Settings,select "Size to retrieve emails", and choose 5 kb as a start. This should cover most txt emails.

That's the problem-I have no option to change the size downloaded.
Any other UK O2 users out there?
Can any other O2 UK users confirm whether they have this setting option our how they've got around this problem?
Many thanks.
K9 mail allows you to set the download amount.
I wanted to share an app I found. It's free on the market (there's also a donate version). It's an incredibly smooth Facebook client. It has a nice UI and notifications (with a wide range of refresh intervals). Best of all, it seems really light on battery. In my opinion, it's worlds ahead of anything else available. Let me know what you think.

Hmmm... I don't allow "anything" permissions to do anything on or with my Facebook. If you choose "Allow None" it puts you in a loop consistently asking you for the same permissions. Just not going to happen with me. I'll stick with the standard one.
Why does this app look so close to the official app? I mean REALLY close.

It's modeled after the mobile website. The official app only recently made this change.

Haha after googling the package name this is the first thing that popped up. This is actually my app so thanks!
The app FBM is just a wrapper for "touch.facebook.com" that has been tweaked and had a few additional features added. I've actually just published an update which will hopefully fix the notifications bug (which have been a bit intermittent for some users). I still have a fair bit of work to do with the photo uploading and sharing but unfortunantly due to work I don't get to devote nearly as much time as I would like to towards it.
@Cozmo1 - the permissions thing is a little annoying and one day I'll get round to tidying it up. I added that loop in when I added the "Upload Photo" feature so that I didn't have to deal with different permission sets between users. Some of the permissions are not even used such as the access data 24/7 one but when I first wrote it I thought I might use it.
Anyway, thanks for the mini-review Simba501 If anyone has any issues just PM me.
I suppose I'll give it a go. Thanks for sharing
Hi
I can not push the button for upload a picture.
Is this a bug?
Yes this is a nice Facebook app

Hey yall!
I bought my Mom a TF201 for Christmas. She doesn't have a cell phone, but would like to take advantage of a texting app, so that she can text my sister and I, like apps that are available for iPod Touch or the iPad. Is there an Android app that will set her up with a phone number to send and receive texts from? I've tried TextPlus and TxtMe but both are designed to sync up with an android phone, which is of course practical, but not something she has. We live in Canada, so sadly, Google Voice is not an option, which breaks my heart, I love Google Services, and wish we had access to GVoice here.
If anyone can offer me some suggestions, that would be great!
Thanks a lot!
*cheers*

That was exactly the type of app I was looking for! She's all set up with a number for texting. Thanks a lot!
Here are some alternatives to SMS:
MySMS:

Kik:

Personally, I've only tested Kik and it works very well.

I use Viber on it, and if you have a rooted one you can use whatsapp.
Hi
I'm a few days away from my OGWhatsapp app expiring and am desperate to find an alternative as I travel constantly between countries and having two active whatsapp accounts on my phone is an invaluable part of my life.
I've stumbled across some alternatives from this site:
http://faresandroid.blogspot.com.es/2015/01/4.html
Namely, i'm looking at ENWhatsapp and SAWhatsapp. I'm wondering whether these apks are ok as I fear installing any sort of malware or SMS trojan on my Samsung S4 Mini Duos i9192.
Many thanks
I use this one and think it is perfect, no isues in months. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339647
Thanks. Does it notify you of received messages from both accounts instantly or do you need to switch between accounts to pick up the messages?
Use this xxwhatsapp
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwqhldcwrdx350w/xxWhatsApp1.15-1.apk?dl=0
It's base on Ogwhatsapp mode last version. But it's still working. It's modified in order to not to be detected by the expiration of the 472 whatsapp server base.
Thanks MuD-GMZ. That seems to work well. Only thing is that I have to switch between the two accounts manually to see if i've received messages. A little bit annoying.
ppsa, is xxWhatsapp safe? I get the same pre-installation access warnings as SAWhatsapp and ENWhatsapp. What particularly worries me is the access the app has to sending and receiving SMS's (see attached screenshot). Not sure this if this normal though considering that I guess the app needs a whatsapp verification code via sms to activate it.
What do you think?
Many thanks!

I'm currently using the 2 lines for whatsapp until I investigate how safe the others are. Not getting much feedback regarding the xxwhatsapp, ENWhatsapp or SAWhatsapp....

Exactly. That's why I want to know if any of the other unofficial whatsapps are safe so that i can have two whatsapps active at the same time
In the end I tried ENWhatsapp + other variants and none of them seem to work. I get an error during the installation process that oddly states that '"the app expired on May 18th 2060"!!
I am, though, using a Playstore app called Disa Beta:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disa&hl=en
It has a strange UI but it allows me to do exactly what I was looking for: have 2 whatsapp accounts simultaneously active on my dual sim phone.
I've used it, but it's not as friendly to use
It works again? Thanks.
For the people that uses KiK messenger, I'm sure you've noticed that you don't get heads-up notifications and you can't expand long messages from the notification panel, either.
I'm curious whether anyone has any idea why this is? Why doesn't these features work with KiK when it works with any and every other app? I've tweeted @kik on Twitter and they didn't respond. I asked a developer of one of the modded KiK versions and he didn't answer me and even on a discord group regarding KiK modification and no one bothered to answer me. Is it some sort of secret that no one is allowed to share? Is there some reason so common that everyone knows about it and hence just don't feel like answering it? Because even Google searches doesn't bring up anything. It's like the little family secret that uncle John plays with kids and everyone knows about it, but no one talks about it.

I mean, the app itself is pretty ****ty, sure, but I didn't compare the app to that. I compared the fact that no one seems to be able to tell me why the notifications doesn't work, to that. Sort of like, everyone knows it doesn't work and potentially why it doesn't work, but no one wants to say it.
