View 1 Replies View RelatedAVI file attached to gmail on Droid only offers PREVIEW as an option and my Rock Player app (which would play it) does not appear on list of apps to use. Movies and Video Player only come up and unlike Windows, there is no ability to browse for an app. (something that should be added to android). Is there a setting somewhere to fix up this goofiness? Been looking, but so far no luck.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOne of my 'must-haves' is the ability to open any kind of attachment that comes in with an email (.doc, .docx, .xls, .ppt, .jpeg, etc.) I was assured the Ally could with the application docs-to-go. I am now finding that it's a hit and miss with opening files. Files that have the .doc extension will come up and say 'can't open this video'.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are starting the e-mail intent of the user's choice (createChooser) and sending a zip file. This zip file is created right before the email sends, but we need to make sure the file is there until the email actually gets sent. Once the e-mail is sent, it would be nice to have this file deleted instead of sitting around eating SD card storage. Is this possible? (it can't be done in onActivityResult, e-mail intents don't actually finish, they cancel and thread the sending in a background service...so when onActivityResult gets called the e-mail might not have sent yet). Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to launch an email intent with an attached jpg. I did:
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
startActivity(intent4);
this launches the email activity.
But when I try to add DataAndType (my jpeg attachment). It fails with
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { action=android.intent.action.SENDTO data=file:///data/data/com.mycompany.mypackage/files/temp-picture type=JPEG
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
intent4.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+ mTempFilePath),
Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.name());
startActivity(intent4);
I am having a problem sending pictures with the gmail widget on my eris. I take the picture and attach it to an email composed with the gmail widget. However, when the recipient (and my own gmail account to test) receives the email, the pictures are not viewable. They just appear as a red "x". I can send the same email from the phone to my hotmail account and the pictures show up fine. I have tried different resolution sizes, but with the same result. I have accessed gmail through the phone's browser to try to send the attachments that way, but cannot see that there is an option to include attachments. It is pretty frustrating to use a gmail widget to have the pictures not appear when sent to my own gmail account. Then to check my hotmail account and see that the pictures appear fine.

I only have OpenOffice.org Calc to try and figure it out, but when I receive the email, it won't let me "click" on the attachment to recognize it/open it. I downloaded Documents to Go (menu doesn't llist any email program to open) and Spread Sheet Lite (can't "find" the file) but don't know how to find the email/open the attachment.

Am I missing something? It seems only when people officially attach the file is when I can see it. Other than that..I get the blue box with a "?" in the middle.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGoogled this issue and can't seem to find the resolution. I am using the Gmail app which came pre-installed on the phone. I have entered my account details, I can send emails but I don't get a notification when I receive an email to my Gmail Inbox. I have checked the settings and I have setup a ringtone and selected the option to flag up an icon in the notification bar. However the only way I know I have an email is if I open the app. I have a task manager and Gmail is on the ignore list.

Unless I'm losing it, whenever I had a new email notification, pulled down the notification bar, and clicked the email, G mail app opened up the email itself. All of a sudden, when I do the same thing, it opens up the G mail In box and I have to click the email itself to open it. Am I delusional and this is how it's always been?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know this has most likely been discussed many times. But I am looking for a decent email widget.
At the moment I am using the default htc email widget, however when ever I read an email from my gmail account it doesnt update the read status so it still shows as unread.
I would like one that would update the read status and possible the support for unified inbox so I can see new mail from hotmail account and gmail.
Let me start off by saying that I'm 100% new to Android as of last night. I switched from the iPhone 3G over to the Samsung Captivate.I like it a lot, but have a couple of questions about the email. I have a Gmail icon and I have an Email icon. Seeing that I use Gmail for my personal email, can I replace the Email icon on the home page with the Gmail icon?Also, if you are using Gmail, is there any point to have the Email app installed? Can I uninstall it?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Droid Eris, and I haven't really set it up for email yet. I don't need it too badly, as I use my computer for email, but it might be nice on occassion.I'm wondering if some folks can lend some advice on the best way to have a good working email setup between your phone and your computer, if you don't have IMAP as an option, and don't really use Gmail?I use Earthlink for my main email addresses, and I don't believe they support IMAP, so that's not really an option for me.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI started a thread that wound up in the Droid X Troubleshooting forum, but I think this is an Android problem, not a Droid X problem... I'm having read receipt issues with the stock Gmail app (it won't let me send them and it auto-sends them to people who request them of me, without giving me the option of sending or declining). In addition, I'm pretty disappointed with the Gmail app, especially when compared to the Blackberry's handling of Gmail. Blackberry's only gmail issue is when you send an email to someone through gmail you get a copy regardless of whether you want one or not.
I'm really concerned about this and would love to find an alternative -- K9 doesn't appear to be compatible with GMail so even if I wanted to I couldn't use that. Anyone have any suggestions? The web interface, incidentally, doesn't feature read receipts -- already considered logging in to send important emails that way. I'm guessing if there's no alternative then the only alternative is to return to my Blackberry for the time being :-/

View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there any Google developer here who built the native non-gmail email client? If so, do you think you could investigate why many users (me included) continue to lose ALL email accounts at least once a week, and sometimes twice a day. it's basically an unusable application that can not be relied upon for anything. nice phones though. iphone never lost my email account settings.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a nice Gmail Notification Widget, that shows me the Unread message count via an Icon on the homepage. Clicking it opens Gmail.
Since I currently use HTC Sense on my EVO, I also have a standard "Email" icon/widget that does the same. However that Widget is HTC Sense only and I'm looking to switch to a new launcher...
Is there any 3rd party standard android widgets that will show a simple 1x1 icon (preferably customizable) with your non-gmail email count?
