Google has provided the ability to disable (Turn Off) conversation view for the web-based version of Gmail. See Turn off Gmail�s conversation view - Official Gmail Blog for more details. My take is they're only half way there if your an Android user like myself. Has anyone heard if this feature will be making its way to the Gmail app for Android?

Is it possible to disable threaded conversations in gmail on the droid? I'm surprised i havent found anything on this yet - emails of information for non-related clients are grouped together because they come from the same source, making it very easy to miss new important emails since they dont appear at the top.Also, it's impossible to erase all the unnecessary emails without also deleting the few important ones.I didnt care about this on my iphone b/c the new emails just came in normally at the top of the inbox.I've overlooked several new emails b/c of this.

Would it be possible to disable the syncing of "read" status between my phone and my gmail inbox? On my blackberry, when an email was pushed, I would read it, but it wouldn't be marked as read in my inbox itself. I liked that because then I would know I had to address the email when I was next at a computer. I don't always have time to send a reply from my phone right when I get an email, but I like being able to look at it on my phone without it getting marked as "read" everywhere.
Is my only option to add a gmail account via POP3 instead of IMAP? I tried that and didn't like it because then none of my gmail filters work, and messages that would normally just be archived end up getting forwarded via POP. I dealt with that on the BB by setting up filters on the BIS side, but I can't do that here if I just tell the droid to just fetch all the email via POP as it comes in. Is there any way to keep the filters in place but not have read status synced?
When I am viewing messages in a conversation in the GMail app, I cannot see the entire message. The part I don't see is usually the quoted text, so it isn't that big of a deal.However, there are some forums where I get instant email notification of a new post on a thread. The link in the email to go to the thread isn't shown as a clickable URL. If I am receiving the first notification email, it is fine, I can click on the link. But when there are multiple replies, even though I delete old notifications, it still shows up in a conversation view and won't let me click the URL.So, my question is: is there a way to view the entire message in a conversation thread? Currently I have to either switch to the HTC mail app and download via IMAP or go to the GMail's mobile webpage.

Some have complained about not being able to change the LED or get repeat notifications for gmail. I stumbled on this last night and thought I would share. I haven't tried it and make no claims to its greatness.Gmail Notifier.It lets you change the color of the LED, vibration length, and gives repeat notifications. It also works for multiple gmail accounts I believe.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have people that have gmail accounts on my phone. The problem is that some of them automatically links to that gmail account and others don't. For instance contact #1 has a gmail account I can see the picture that they update on their gmail account and statuses but contact #2 doesn't show anything from there gmail account. Is there a way to get this contacts to all link to there gmail, if they have a gmail account?

View 13 Replies View RelatedJust got my HTC Desire and one of the things I'm really struggling with is threaded SMS. I can't find any way to go to regular view in the stock SMS program! That would be an unbelievable omission if it's not possible to use SMS in a normal fashion
It basically means my SMS inbox groups SMS by contact and each conversation has about 20 SMS in threads already and I've only been using it for a few days. I can see that ending up being in the hundreds within a couple of months. It also means you need many more screen taps to view the message you want to find. I can't find a way to view all the messages I've sent either, I have to go through each conversation................
I much prefer the Gmail mail app for the way it looks, and easier to delete mails and can use stars/labels.
How do I disable HTC google mail?
I am requesting information from a web service in my android app. The web service returns a list of items, each item having a base64 image and some info
First method: simply access the web service and get the result. This means freeze of UI until data is downloaded. Not a good solution
Second method: put the data download in a thread, and display a progress bar with a message.
private void StartGettingData()
{
viewInfo = new Runnable(){
public void run() {
getData(); //from the web service.......................
I want Gmail notifications to show in the notification bar, but I don't want the green blinking light on my Droid because it's woken me up sometimes at night while in the dock. How do I disable the green blinking light while leaving all the other notifications?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOur Android app does a lot of image decoding. We fetch a lot of images from the internet, local storage caches, etc. Up to now, these images are being decoded on the UI thread (using BitmapFactory.decodeX() methods). It's been causing some timeout crashes because the UI doesn't respond quickly enough to user input.
I could write a little AsyncTask that encapsulates decoding, but I'm not sure that's a good idea. Spawning threads is expensive, and that would be spawning and tearing down a ton of them. So what's the best way to put this on another thread? Do I need to go to the extent of writing a Service? That seems a little heavy-weight. Are there any solutions for this already out there?
Its been a while since I've done any coding, I'm new to android, and unfortunately my first job is rather tricky. My program need to display horizontally scrolling text and images, but it need to set the scroll speed quiet finely. Now I've been looing at some examples with TextView and some also use android.widget.Scroller.
Now I'm pretty sure I'll have to write this from scratch, but what i want to know, is there a clear way that i should use in creating the class. I could try expanding on the TextView class and use its methods. Or should I just write a class to treat text and images the same?
I have the original T-Mobile G1 and am generally fond of it, actually so fond im on the verge of getting myself the HTC Desire when it hits the stores here. There are however a few things that "bug" me at present.
1: Is it possible to install and use programs directly from the memory card, or does programs still have to be installed to memeory with the newest release of Android OS?
2: Isn't it possible to turn of threaded messsaging and revert to the more classic look?. Either directly through the native client or through a 3rd party text messaging client?
3: And what about saving some of your texts?. Cause you know once in a while you recieve a text thats worth saving, and at present I don't seem to be able to find that option in 'Droid. So is that not supported or does that "just" require 3rd party software.
4: And have they finally fixed the forced google sync?. Where you can ONLY get contacts and stuff to your android device through gmail. Because im honestly a bit concerned with the fact that Google "owns" everything on gmail.
I have an app making an https post on one thread while performing a file download on another thread. For some odd reason, I am getting a ClientProtocolException saying that "The server failed to respond with a valid HTTP response". The error goes away if everything is run on a separate thread. Oddly if I run the two server requests in serial, the error goes away. It seems there's a bug that happens when two requests are made at the same time.
Important note: The post occurs to a different server than the download so the servers themselves should not be causing the problem. The code is simple. Here's the file download code:.............
Are there any Android phones that are multi-processor (multi-core/ cpu), where application threads execute concurrently on different processors?
There doesn't seem to be any explicit way of doing asynchronous file I/ O or asynchronous resource loading. So, suppose I put BitmapFactory.decodeResource() or Resources.openRawResource() into a separate thread. Will those methods play nice with the other threads, yielding during blocking I/O operations so those other threads can run?
If those methods rely on the thread scheduler to forcibly suspend them, then the separate resource-loading thread isn't going to help me get my application started any faster (although it will help it to be more responsive to user input).

Do any of the android based phones support the ability to record both side of a telephone conversation without having to use speakerphone? If so is there an app for that?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAs soon as the 2.2 update was leaked for the Droid, I downloaded it and applied it to my phone, rather than keep waiting for Verizon to push it out weeks later. The update process went smoothly, and I have been running Froyo for a couple weeks now.
The problem is, now my phone bugs me with the OTA update notification constantly, and the only options I have are to install, or install later. I have no option to decline the update. Is there any way to tell android to stop attempting to apply the OTA update? I am surprised it is even trying, as its already running 2.2 so why would it still try and update? If it matters, I have rooted my Droid.
