Good idea... motivation for me rooting this bad boy.
[Thunderbolt General] mycomputerisjunk:
I think I have only ever seen the "Use Secure Connection" and "Accept All SSL Certificates" options on the stock Android email app. The sense one only has the single checkbox.
[Thunderbolt General] shockaholic:
Has anyone tried this yet and had any luck?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] SuperFly03:
No VZW had nothing to do with the mail app...

I am a bit confused by this. My exchange server shouldn't work with Android AT ALL... however due to HTC's ... how shall we say... engineering it works perfectly.

Wonder why you have to select all certificates...
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
How do we get HTML emails to show up on the stock app? All it gives me are text links.
[Thunderbolt General] SuperFly03:
Mine show up as HTML... not sure what is wrong on yours. Both GMail and Exchange are showing up fine.
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
I guess I just haven't found what I need to change in the setting yet then. I can be slow and special at times.
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
Ok, after more investigation, I have have realized that my exchange email is on plain text only, but... the option to change it is grayed out and unclickable. What am I doing wrong? I can't change the option from plain text, and I really don't like it.
[Thunderbolt General] dzigns:
It is crippled or at least modified

I'm pretty sure MAIL is crippled or at least modified. If you use MAIL to setup IMAP accounts, it will not let you specify an IMAP path prefix, which is a royal pain for me, since I can't view my sent emails without that IMAP path. That was one of the main reasons I jumped from WinMo to Android! Looks like I'll be rooting sooner than I thought (I've loved the Tbolt as-is until now) :)
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
On yours, does it have the option where it is suppose to allow you to check between html and plain text, grayed out? My personal email is fine, it's just the exchange email that is giving me fits. I can change the normal account. Oh, and html worked fine on my D2 with exchange.
[Thunderbolt General] scassel:
Set up fine here, both before and after root with the stock mail app that came with the phone. I do have the choice of HTML or Plain Text and neither is grayed out. I have only one choice for security and it says "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection" which is checked. My admin also pushes a security policy requiring a PIN or password after a 15 minute time out.
[Thunderbolt General] Lipmonger:
To get rid of the exchange security, and get both SSL check boxes, I installed this app.:

It doesn't work with the HTC message widget, but at least it gets you corporate email.
[Thunderbolt General] METDeath:
Have you tried telling it proceed? I had the same qualm, and I hit next and it prompted me to accept the certificate even though it was invalid.
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
Yeah, I have set up the account, and it works fine other than the fact that I can't get HTML emails in anything other than plain text. I go emailapp>menu>more>settings>send/receive>recieve settings and under receive settings the message format is grayed out and unselectable. I know it's not the server, because I had it setup fine on the D2. I have also tried deleting the account and starting over from the beginning, and it still does this. So I don't know what to do to fix it.
[Thunderbolt General] gillat:
Any update on the HTML email issue? I'm rooted, so I can swap the native app with any other other Sense friendly app. It works well in Touchdown, but I prefer to use the native mail app -- it's much cleaner and well integrated. I just REALLY need to see HTML and graphics in my emails.

It used to be fine with my Droid X, so I know that it's not a server policy. It's just broken in the TBolt's native mail app.

thoughts?
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
I haven't really had the time to investigate further. I've just let it be for now. Semester will be over in two weeks, then I can look more into it.
[Thunderbolt General] spazma7ik:
wrong thread, sorry!
[Thunderbolt General] AndroidGraphix:
Accept all ssl was never an option with my old evo on the sprint network. I was able to sync just fine. I'm also on the exchange server now with no problems.

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
When I signed my contract with T-Mobile I already figured tbey would be getting bought out befor my contract was up. I just didn't know who would buy them out. I just bope the transition goes smoothly and that and T-Mobile customers that have unlimited data plans get to keep the unlimited data plans. I can not live with a 2GB cap.
[HD2 General] songokussm:
It makes major since for att. after all in the usa this would totally kill any reasons for an unlock for smartphones or the iphone, since there would be no other carrier.

This means, higher prices, lower data caps, higher fees, and lower customer service.

att + tmobile = verizon, but with out the unlimited internet.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
I think you might be wrong there.

You see the network will now be lets say 2xStronger that it is now. meaning, unlimited data usage might come back, since the network will now be able to handle the load.

Example, lets say Dallas, Texas. again this is just a example. it has lets say 5 AT&T towers and 7 T-mobile towers. since both companies will be having the same spectrum for voice and data, there will be 12 towers supplying the necessary amount of voice and data.

This only makes a stronger network. download speeds speeds will be out the roof, and unlimited might come back since there will a stringer network to back it up, if it doesn't, maybe larger data caps instead of the typical 2Gbs, 4 or 6GB.\

BTW, if you have unlimited ATM im sure you will be grandfathered into unlimited.
[HD2 General] Jimmersd:
Fair Warning AT&T, I refuse to do business with you. Come the first quarter of 2012 I will switch to Verizon.

T-Mobile Posts Question & Answer On AT&T Acquisition

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/03/t-mobile-posts-question-answer-on-att-acquisition/
[HD2 General] justwonder:
No, you won't get unlimited data usage back, you won't get larger data caps, you only get monopoly.
[HD2 General] Overstew:
AT&T currently have their capped plans, and T-Mobile was suffering from limited spectrum. All that they're doing is combining customers. Sure, the network will be larger, but they're bringing in all the T-mobile customers, too.
[HD2 General] lancguy:
Silver Lining

A merger like this will take forever. We won't see any change for at least 12 months. And you know Verizon won't take it lying down.

Hmm, maybe the gov't will break up AT&T again. Hell it's only been 30 yrs since the last time they did it. And we all know what happened to that...

But for us HD2 users on AT&T...how will AT&T handle TMo's 3G network? They would have to allow backward compatibility. Which means all frequencies work on AT&T. Which means 3G on HD2 running on AT&T. Makes illogical sense, just like AT&T buying TMo.:eek:

Ahh one can dream.
[HD2 General] JonnieLasVegas:
Yeah, when I read this earlier I was disappointed. I left at&t for a variety of reasons, mainly because of data caps & horrible customer service. I will never go Verizon, so it looks like I'm headed to Sprint as soon as my T-mo contract is up!

Also I don't think this will benefit T-Mobile users, as at&t will be flooding our towers & slowing things down for us. But it will take around 9 months before we notice those things and about a year before it's final.

But I will NOT be signing back on with T-Mobile/at&t.
[HD2 General] otter5:
If this effects my 5.99 t-zones unlimited internet I will be pissed as hell
[HD2 General] dabigchina:
i for one would rather use a tin can string before i go back to at&t, even if they offer me a comparable android phone in exchange for my hd2. Shame that the best phone i've ever had will soon lose 3g capability.
[HD2 General] dabigchina:
man i wish i had your optimistic outlook on things. I think it would be more likely for ATT to keep current caps in place in order to allow future subscribership growth without investing money on infrastructure.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
It's f*#king Ma Bell, back from the damned grave. Go back you old hag.
[HD2 General] Derek0228:
I'm actually happy for this! Why? In my country, TMo sucks big time. No reception anywhere, and 3g only on 2/3 cities. So, by uniting at&t and t-mobile, we'll of course have better reception and more than 2g everywhere. I am actually excited by this. Best phones+best reception=win. And yeah, i know the prices, but that could change. What is sure is that we'll have the best phones and the best reception. So it's just a matter of time and patience. :D
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
i really dont know why everyone is *****ing. for those of you on T-Mobile everything will stay the same. only thing that will be diffent will be your bill and the network name on your phone. becuase you all will be grandfathred into whatever plans you all have. if at all it will be better for all us since there will be a bigger & faster network.
[HD2 General] Bill R:
When I left AT&T for TMOUS, I wasn't really unhappy with AT&T with the exception of signal strength where I work. Then I discovered the freedom and independent attitude of TMOUS. I dread the corporate attitude change to come with this merger.
[HD2 General] mrsteel74:
I don't get why everyone keeps saying this will just make the networks stronger when you're not equating the extra work load being added on. So if AT&T has 10 towers and 30 users in Lala Land that's a average of 3 users per tower and T-Mobile has 15 towers and 40 users which averages 2.6 users per tower. Combine them both and you get a average of 2.8 users per tower a average slightly better for one network and slightly worse for the other. Granted this is not how this all plays out but simple math shows this is not as great as some people try to make it sound.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Reading this, and seeing that big fat AT&T logo sitting on the side of your post just makes me want to wring your neck like a wet dishcloth, but that's just the mixture of disappointment of this deal, the anger from the fact that I just bought a $470 phone a few months ago, and the complete shock from what is the unlimited data plan for GSM phones completely disappearing from the face of the US talking. On a normal day, I'm nonviolent.

And secondly, you being an AT&T customer means you're already used to the price gouging. I, for one, can't afford $140/month for unlimited talk/text/4GB data+taxes.

And no. It will NOT stay the same. When the people with contracts lose said contracts......
[HD2 General] DJTJ:
This is great news for us who the HD2 on ATT unlocked .. the companies will be combining there network, which means 3G for us:cool:

This is also good news for T-Mobile. Users who want the iSuck devices :eek:
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
Don't worry about being modded. At least one of the mods approves of that sort of comment apparently.

But you're pretty far off base about the contracts. I'm still on my Cingular price plan. So long as you don't change your plan you keep the rates of that plan. When it comes to unlimited data, that may change in the future. But for now, and probably the next year or so, you're safe.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
I'm an Everything Plus customer. No contract. And All Taxes & Terror will probably do something sneaky to get people to get a new rate plan.......perhaps shutting down 3G on AWS 1700/2100?

[HD2 General] buzz killington:
No. AT&T is re-purposing the T-mobile 1700 band for LTE. It means no HD2 except the aussie one will get any 3G in the USA. We will all have Edge phones when the deal goes through and AT&T starts disabling 3g service over 1700.
[HD2 General] eenbox:
Very disappointed by T-Mobile giving up on their customers by giving them out straight to the lions jaws...

I have been T-Mobile user for about 8 years and they got me what I needed for the money I wanted to pay. Now ATT is stepping in and will ruin everything. I am currently on no-contract plan as I purchased my HD2 for flat full price. Now in a year no more 3G I guess if the deal goes through; well, who will reimburse me my $550? ATT will not for sure...

If this plan goes through here is my action:

1. Immediately cease T-Mobile plan (Family 2-line package plus 1 web)

2. Leave HD2 for my EU trips so I have unlocked phone)

3. Open up Verizon family plan and get 18% OFF via my employer

4. Sing a song!!! :)

Verizon may not be perfect but quite honestly, it is far more perfect than what ATT will ever be!!!
[HD2 General] Segnaro:
No way, AT&T is anti-grandfather. They'll figure out how to pry you out in no time.

This is bad for the HD2 unless you like being on EDGE. They're going to free up the 1700 band for their LTE rollout. No more 3G when that happens.
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
Seeing that this would give at&fee a monopoly on GSM, I hope those elected officials do the right thing.....after all, if we wanted att we would have got them instead of tmobile.

[HD2 General] mrsteel74:
This is probably how AT&T will get all of us onto new contracts ripped directly from the press release:

Q: If I'm a T-Mobile customer, will I have to switch phones to keep my service under the new AT&T-T-Mobile?

A: As soon as the deal closes — if approved by the Department of Justice and Federal Communications Commission— AT&T will likely move to get T-Mobile subscribers onto AT&T phones.

What that means is that all of the T-Mobile customers using 3G phones will need to switch to AT&T phones at that time. It is also possible that AT&T would shoulder much, if not all, of that cost, though there could be some sort of small activation fee. T-Mobile phones that operate on 2G technology will not need to be replaced by AT&T phones in order to work on the network.

So since I have to move to their 3G plan I would no longer be grandfathered on my T-Mobile data plan cause it will no longer exsist. So instead of paying 20 bucks a month for unlimited data I'll pay what $30 a month for 2 or 5gb a month?
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
What ATT has stated is that they are going to put tmo users on ATT frequency used now (meaning tmo phones will lose 3g and only operate on edge), and use tmobile's current frequency for LTE. So I'm hoping this isn't allowed to fly.

People keep repeating this but it's flat out not true.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Man that really sucks man. For those of you out there saying AT&T will grandfather all of us T-Mobile unlimited customers, I truly hope you are right. But at the same time it is really hard to beleive they will after seeing this. I mean it very oviously states that AT&T plans to use T-Mobile's current 3G spectrum for their LTE. And by doing this they gain the spectrum but also force T-mobile users to get new devices so they can use AT&T's 3G. Now this might be ok at first but I truly feel that AT&T will use this to make T-Mobile users have to change their contracts thus lossing the grandfathered plan they had with T-Mobile. Thus doing away with the unlimited plan. I mean come on people AT&T has seen now they can do away with a unlimited plan and make more money off the customers that go over their low ass 2GB cap. Do you really think they are going to do everything they can to keep the unlimited plan for us T-Mobile users just out of the kindness of their heart. No No and No! This merger will make AT&T an even bigger monster to deal with in the US and allow them to get away with more as they will have monopoly on GSM. So everyone that are T-Mobile customers get ready for some rough times ahead.
[HD2 General] lancguy:
To 3G or not to 3G?

OK so now we know that TMo 3G network will be dismantled. Since I'm using a euro HD2 on AT&T, I've been on EDGE for almost 1.5 yrs now. Hey the phone is so great that I don't even notice.

We could hold out hope that the gov't will do antirust thing and figure out a way to force TMo 3G to stay alive, but that's us relying on people who have just now discovered that pens come in red and blue (besides black).

Now the next fear...:eek: We've all had unlocked phones on either network. Otherwise we wouldn't be here at all. What if ATTila the pHUN decides to really put the squeeze on GSM and force all phones to be locked? Can they do that? Sure they can...then what do we do??? We definitely lose our freedom.

You used to be able to say "write your congressman", but that's a worthless thought. Unfortunately, we can't control what ATTila will do. We just need to be prepared. Maybe Sprint will open their network and be as customer freindly as TMo used to be.

(TMo had lousy coverage in my area which is why I've been a hadcuffed ATTila user for year)

I Love my hd2 but now it will be useless. If Att thinks they are going to get my money ever they better buy my phone and offer the plan I have now. Or the hell with them.
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
you hit it right on the head. if att isn't offering unlimited data to their own, i don't know why people think they're going to keep getting it if this goes thru. only those with contracts will get it, once it's up they're going to make you get an att contract. even if they still allow unlimited data, you'll be using egde.

i was grandfathered into unlimited data. so those of you saying that you wont, you will.

[HD2 General] mrsteel74:
When the merger goes through 3G phones won't be able to get 3G anymore cause AT&T uses a different frequency. You will still be able to use the phone for voice, text and edge but no high speed.
[HD2 General] deckardba:
Awesome thank you, not having 3G will suck but its the worst case scenario at least if the merger goes through (along with increased rate plans etc)

what about 4g phones? will they be able to use the lte? like for example i wanna get the htc pyramid. What does the future on AT&T-Mobile hold for it?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry but the reason T-Mobile customers will not be able to use 3G is not because AT&T use a different frequency/spectrum. Although this is why unlocked T-Mobile 3G and 4G devices can only get Edge on AT&T now. The reason why T-Mobile Customers will not be able to use 3G anymore is that AT&T is going to take over T-Mobile's 3G and 4G frequency/spectrums to use with AT&T's LTE network, their 4G network. So this spectrum will nolonger be a aliable for 3G and 4G T-Mobile devices. So you see AT&T is forcing T-Mobile customers to use their network and not building out the existing T-Mobile network, but using it to just inhance their network not two networks that would allow use of a multitude of devices. Tipical AT&T bullying and agresive corporate actions.
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
had to shoot you a thanks, i get more pissed everytime i read "this will be good for t-mobile users". only the people not into tech will fall for that bull****. all att did was buy another network to help THEIR network...hence why they're completely shutting t-mobile down by making everyone use att's already crowed spectrum, while making t-mobile frequency their very own "4g segment".
