I'll be receiving my HTC Magic (Rogers) next week and would like to know if, during the first time start up, I can make the phone sync to my gmail using WiFi to avoid downloading all the emails using up the 500MB of quota for the month. This will be my first experience with Android.

If I read an email on my PC, then I want it to appear read on my HTC Magic too. The preinstalled gmail "app" notify my (in the top of screen) that I have a new mail even though I have opened it and even replied on my pc. How come? And how can it be fixed?

#2 - What do you guys have your g-mail sync set to? All? 33 days? Is there a way to set it to sync just like 33 days but then search the archive if I archive things older? If I sync ALL is that going to really slow it down?
I just got the magic yesterday and so far I'm loving it. Just have a couple questions about texting. When I receive a text it usually tells me the time in eastern time though I'm pacific. However, my sent messages come up with the right time. This makes it so that threaded sms is kind of useless. Everything is all out of whack. Also, every once in a while it just won't even give me a time and there has been once or twice(after fiddling with it for a bit) that it gave me the right time but it just went back to the wrong time right after. Could this be a problem with the phone or is it rogers' fault? I'm assuming it's getting the time from the network and they have it wrong(meaning I can't fix it) but I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem.
Also, is there any way to make it vibrate when I receive a text? I feel dumb for asking this as it seems like it should be something really obvious but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
at the moment I am thinking about a new app and need some information to decide whether to develop on Android or an alternative OS. I am particularly interested in "time to first screen", "boot-up time", "time to first Audio" and "app-start" (can be any from the android market or even one of the pre-installed ones) time? Does anyone know a source or perhaps measured those numbers?

View 16 Replies View RelatedI tried to update my HTC Magic phone to the CyanogenMod v3.4.6 - stable, updated 6/24. This went all to plan and the phone restarted perfectly. After some playing around i noticed the screen won't auto rotate anymore on the Magic and decided to try out another rom. From the Android Build Downloads site.Now i went for the Haykuro because there was a nice how to with it. Now this went terrible wrong and the phone won't start up anymore. I tried the ION BUILD Haykuro R2 after this but now the phone keeps haning in the HTC boot up screen.
Nothing i seem to do helps. I tried using the HTC flassing your phone back to factory system image. But the HTC boot up screen keeps popping up and holding it there. Instead of the old Android logo.
This is my first post on the androidforums. I usually just read what other people wrote, but I can't seem to find a related post for my current problem.I date someone overseas in S. Korea, and since there's no way to send text msgs in Korean from here, I talk to her using activesync with a gmail account. She can check emails on her phone from Korea, and my phone sends me notification everytime I get an email from her. Basically it's same as texting except it allows me to type in Korean and doesn't cost a dime.For the reasons mentioned above, saving battery life isn't much of an option for me. I need to have activesync or gmail push running instantly. I tried using "check email every 5 minutes", but just imagine having to stay idle for 5 minutes everytime you text with your friends.
As of today, gmail push on android seems to work with 5 - 30 minutes delay (or manual refresh). However, Exchange Activesync will not even allow me to sync gmail (Different errors every time even though I'm putting the same information; gmail address,m.google.com as server address, username & password). I thought activesync just allows me to use "gmail push" on HTC mail app, so I don't quite understand why gmail app works (despite the lag), but activesync won't even let me sync my mail. Activesync last worked on 06/17/2010.Also, gmail push works with no lag when I'm on wifi. Is this normal?I'm starting to think there's a problem with the Sprint network or my phone. Gmail push also works instantly if my 3G bar is white. If it's greyed out, no emails come until the 3G bar turns white. Now I have to turn on AIM or MSN messenger to keep the data flowing and manually keep the 3G bar white. Then gmail push comes instantly. It's pretty ridiculous because the battery then lasts about 2-4 hours.
im not an expert on how push email works, but my understanding is that gmail messages should appear on my phone without me having to refresh or manually sync the gmail app. for a reason unknown to me, sometimes this works and sometimes it doesnt. at night, i shut down wifi and the mobile network to conserve battery and start up the mobile network when i leave for work in the morning. i get notification of new yahoo email, thru the htc widget, almost instantaneously, yet gmail doesnt come thru until i manually sync the gmail app. then during the course of the day, sometimes gmail messages get pushed right thru and other times not at all until i manually sync the app. meanwhile my yahoo mail comes thru flawlessly.
considering gmail is supposed to push and the htc widget does not, this is the opposite of what i expect. as far as settings, i have auto sync enabled for both the device and for the gmail app. while i always assume user error until proven otherwise, in this instance i think i have all the correct settings, which makes sense considering sometimes gmail does get pushed. its just erratic and unpredictable. anybody got any ideas what's going on here?
I have noticed that Gmail is taking a little bit longer to sync, if it syncs at all. I have had to use the manual refresh in my Gmail app to populate mail most of the day today.I have run some tests, and it appears that Gmail will sync in random amounts of time. Sometimes 5-10 minutes, sometimes more than 15 minutes. Up until yesterday, it was almost instantaneous.When I send mail, or change labels, or delete mail on my Droid, the changes are noticed on my Gmail account within a minute or just like normal. It appears to only be a problem with fetching new mails.I have cleared the Gmail app cache, I have turned off sync - rebooted my phone - turned sync on again everything I can think of.

I'm thinking maybe when the downloads gets to 5000 but these are numbers I'm pulling out of thin air so I would love for some of you guys to share your experience with placing ads in your app.
When did you place ads in your app? What kind of revenue was/is it making? And any tips for someone that has no idea where to start?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having troubles with Gmail POP server on my HTC Magic.I can send and receive emails from the Magic, but it won't download the emails that are already in the Gmail inbox.I have set up the Gmail account to enable POP for all mail, not just new messages.What am I missing?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was a bit disappointed with the included email client on my magic (UK vodafone), by which I don't mean the gmail app but the "other one". It seems it doesn't like to mark emails as read. Anyway, I thought, since the gmail app is pretty neat and I have a long-time gmail account I'd use it to manage all my email accounts via POP (hotmail and yahoo and one other gmail).
I've set this up fine and online, via my desktop and I've set up a different label for each account with different colors. (i.e. Hotmail = red, yahoo = green) However, when I view my emails on the magic, all the labels are the incorrect colour. In fact they are all blue. Why is this?
I have a new Rogers HTC Magic. When I check my Gmail I can only view the last message in the conversation. None of the preceding messages in the same conversation can be viewed. The screen only displays the first few words of the prior message. When I click on those words nothing happens. The only way I can view the previous messages is to press menu and then select "mark unread". Is there no other way of viewing the other previous messages in the same conversation?

Secondly, is there something I am doing wrong that factors into the longer load time?
