[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] imperfection:
I was looking for the HTC metallic cases online, and found them on many sites for $19.95, which I didn't want to pay after seeing some posts on here saying the clips wore down. I found them on htcpedia.com for $8.99 for metallic, and $9.99 for the clear and black ones.

I've never purchased from them but you can use Paypal and there are customer reviews on the products so I gave it a shot. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] beangraff:
What do you mean by metallic? are they metal or metal apearance with a plastic build..
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] imperfection:
That's just what HTC calls them, I don't know. Look at the pics?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] theratdude64:
Does metallic mean they're like my case? Mine looks plastic but the inside of it is metal, something about the signal, I don't know for sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jm1218:
Hmmm, if someone does decide to order, would like to hear a review on the quality.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] imperfection:
Search this forum. There previous posts about it. Also a user from here made a YouTube video about the black one. Just search for it on there.

Also ime metallic refers to color and not material.

Here, I got the links for you.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] LikeaG2root:
I have the clear case. Bought it at my local T-Mobile store for $9.99. It has a very snug fit but looks amazing as it lets the sexinesss of the G2 show. The case has the stand which allows the phone to sit up on its own in landscape or portrait. Be careful pulling case off the back of the phone. Very tight and if not careful will scratch phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] imperfection:
I think you're mistaken - these HTC cases don't have kickstands. I think Body Glove or someone made that one.

Anyway, just a quick review - my case got here in 2 days with Fed Ex (NY to IL), I'd definitely buy from that website again. The case made the phone seem bulky at first but after the first day I was used to it, and it doesn't seem odd at all anymore. I like the finish a lot. I would recommend these cases, especially since they're made by HTC and that gives them the best fit possible.

They are great, but they really get in the way when typing on the top row of keys.

Nonsense!

[Android Software Development] smaaland:
Hi!

I have a problem with my Maps-application. I have the mapview in bottom in my layout, and above that a semitransparent image to give the map a specific look.

I also have a location overlay and another image overlay to mark out some interesting positions. The problem is that I don't want the semitransparent image to affect my overlay markers. They seem to be drawn directly on the map by default.

Is there a way to change something somehow so that the markers will be drawn above the semitransparent image (if they are visible on screen of course)?
[7 Mozart General] pjh2903:
I have just got my Mozart. Does anyone know of any apps that will allow me to print out documents, emails etc. directly from the phone (I used to have printboy many years ago when I had an old windows phone but can not find anything similar).
[7 Mozart General] Necroman_AI:
Roboprint is in development i think...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blackpenny15:
I'll be honest and say my experience with the S2 so far have been pretty poor, the entire android experience feels quite fragmented but I guess that's what you buy into, anyway the question.

It seems like the messages and email app are some sort of Samsung concoction rather than stock gingerbread, maybe this goes for the phone app aswell...? is there anyway I can just rip this samsung meh off and replace it with the stock stuff for the moment until I find a combination of stuff that works or write something better?

Si
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] winwiz:
have you tried one of the other email clients from the market?

my sg2 is due to come tomorrow so cant comment, but I would recommend k9 mail or enhanced email from the market
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jutley:
I got Profimail its the best email client ever trust me download it and try the trial if you like it register it i have been using it for 7 years on different devices its solid trust me here is the link below

http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=profimail&page=download&platform=android
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] darkalchemist:
I might be the only person to think like this but Samsung's email app is much better than the stock one imo, same goes for messaging and phone apps. Samsung did a good job with these. That said, if you only want to run stock stuff, why not have gotten a Nexus S? Samsung's stuff is designed to work better with the hardware in their phones and a lot of it is hardware accelerated (like the browser).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] forgetmyname:
I have used K9 Mail for about a year. Its far better than the others and allows for many more configuration options. One can add PGP by installing APG from the Market.

A manual is here:-

https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/wiki/Manual
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] macnessie:
You are not alone, I too prefer the new Samsung mail and sms apps. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] winwiz:
I just got mine delivered and I completely agree, the stock apps are excellent
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Seems impossible to add more accounts to the stock email app ?!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Intratech:
Just open the email app and hit the menu key and then press "Add Account". ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Guitarfreak26:
Does k9 do push email? Ive just been using the bogstandard gmail client lol

Scrapped my mobileme for it though cus i couldnt get it to push on stock app
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Yes, found it , sometimes its to easy :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rdy2go:
Samsung stock email client is better than pure android
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Intratech:
Are we going to get a ROMKitchen for SGS II Doc? Is that what in the works means?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Yes, but we need a working cw recovery. I made a 1st beta rom for flash with odin, but cw recovery needed for kitchen.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pet family:
How about deleting an account?

Can't seem to find it :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AndyM:
I'm quite liking "Enhanced Email" at the moment.

It seems to bypass the pin number requirement policy that our IT guys enforce when setting up Exchange email. It was driving me nuts having to enter the pin code everytime I turned the screen on and off. I can now use the standard lock screen or pattern unlock whilst getting my work email as well. Nice.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] macnessie:
When you are in the inbox of an account, you will see the name of the mailbox at the tope left. Tap the top left and it will take you to a summary of your accounts. Then just hit the menu and you will get the option to delete accounts
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
Agreed... k9 is dog slow in comparison ... good luck trying to sync 4 thousand headers with it !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Intratech:
Settings > Accounts and Sync > tap on account > Remove account.

Simples :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Intratech:
This works too from the email client. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dashers:
Yip. IMAP IDLE at least...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] o_tiger:
Does the stock client work with IMAP correctly? Especially the 'delete on server ' option is important for me! That's why im using K9 at the moment!

Thanks for helpful suggestions!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pet family:
Ah I see! I get it now. How come I didn't try this, stupid me

It doesn't show my email account there. I've read this once so I try to look there and I found nothing.

But no worries, macnessie's way works for me

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dainesefreak:
Anyone know if you can make the gmail account the default email account?

I have my Hotmail account set up and my gmail account. The Hotmail account is "Windows Live Hotmail for social hub" but it won't let me untick the Default account option. It says "default account must be set".
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bonerp:
Hi

Anyone else noticed that t9 spelling doesnt work on the email app on some keyboard apps?

I have tried Keypurr which is now in manual mode and Smart Keyboard pro but neither spell using the email app, but both are fine on Handcent sms. However the Samsung keyboard works ok.

BUT these are both apps that predict words....

Any ideas how faults are logged? Both work perfectly on my Desire HD.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] intellisync_user:
I have had the phone for a few days now and I have been looking at different email clients.....

To be honest the stock I think seems to be the quickest easiest to setup and the split view is really excellent... BUT.... I really dont like the black background, anyone know how to change this? it has to be in the code somewhere....

Please someone let me know how to change the background :-) and as I am starting to think this is the nicest email client
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sixstring:
Does the stock client do Google pushmail ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mieszko1:
Hi,

Yes Imap count is working well on stock client

Also there is no problem with deleteing from server

In my opinion stock client is nice, especially in landscape mode, on left you can see your inbox, on right you can see content of chosen email
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] o_tiger:
Yeah! Going to buy the galaxy s2! Thanks for feedback! :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yatbond:
Where is the auto correct and capitalization?

When I am using the email app, I lose the auto correct, the word predictive suggestions are gone, and auto capitalization is gone as well. Anyone knows how to fix that.

I tried both gingerbread keyboard and also samsung's keyboard as well.

Thanks in advance

yatbond
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stuclark:
Word prediction doesn't work in the email app. using any keyboard layout EXCEPT the standard Samsung keyboard (and possibly Swype)

This bug has existed in every 2.3.x ROM that Samsung have released, either for the SGS or the SGS2. (even though their email apps. are different)

(prediction works fine in just about every other app. it seems)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blackpenny15:
I ended up using Enhanced Mail, there is no pinch to zoom which seriously sucks a lot, the thing that annoyed me the most about the Samsung app was no abbility to just tap down the side to select multiple emails, this steams from WP7 having that feature, what WP7 did it did well, my S2 is getting there but still not quite the same, i'm finding my data over wifi and 3g slow as hell compared to a atrix 4g in the UK and keyboard I went back to stock gingerbread but with the LCDdensity set to 200 the keyboard becomes a bit harder to use :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] beWater:
A quick question, samsung email client looks better than K9 to me, however I could not figure out a way to do "select multiple emails and mark them as read", does any body have a clue?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blackpenny15:
that's exactly the reason I moved away from it, WP7 does it way better, i think you need to press the menu button on the phone, and then its an option from there.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hazem77:
currently using K-9 and it seems working great.

anyways, i have a question regarding the tock email, does any one know how to keep emails in the stock email even after they are downloaded to outlook from the server ( i am using POP3 accounts)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blackpenny15:
I'm sure this is something along the lines of ticking a box on outlook that says leave copy on server for x number of days in your account/send receive settings.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hazem77:
thanks alot BlackPenny

but i like to see an option like in K-9 to NOT delete emails from K-9 even after deleted from server. i dont like to keep my emails in server.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] talibmarifa:
no it dosn't push email, try droidmail pro
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] spayasi:
Meee tooo.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaevy:
hmm. interesting.

which firmware are you using¿

deleting emails from an imap account is not working for me. and i kindof dont like k9.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SirGadden:
Same here :(

Also, even if I change the way the mails are sorted, it always reverts back to the default one after a while... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cmd512:
Are you guys finding that the stock Samsung E-mail client doesn't really check at the intervals you selected? For both my yahoo & gmail accounts, I have it set at "Check ever hour," but I know it doesn't given it shows you the last time it sync'd in the main E-mail page.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hpsauce37:
i am using the stock email app at the moment and have created shortcuts to each email account on the home screen.

problem i have is that i dont get a notification number whe mail arrives. it only shows on the status bar. seems a basic problem this....always had it on my htc devices and really miss it.

anyway of getting count notifications
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] heldchen:
works fine for me, using firmware KE2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pae777sano:
With the stock mail, how do you set it up so that you can view all the folders created through the webmail server?

I can do it in K-9, but I rather like the stock email.

All I can currently see is the standard folders on the phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaevy:
Mine also doesn't sync at the set times.:mad:

ad IMAP deletion Problem:

Here is a photo of my IMAP folders. When I click on the trash button the mail client moves the email to Folder Papierkorb(trash in german) I think. Then when I resync the email just reappears.

If I dont delete the email, but move it to INBOX.trash then its deleted and it doesnt reappear:).

All works just fine in K9 but I dont like K9.

http://img12.imageshack.us/g/sc20110518155249.jpg/

I think this Problem has something to do with "IMAP-Path-Pfefix", but if I choose INBOX as Prefix nothing changes.

----

I sent an email to Samsung and they acted as if they have never heared about the Problem.

They told me to bring the phone back and to get a new one..rofl.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nutley:
Is there a way to show different accounts in the stock email widget? I've set up 3 accounts but when I add the widget it only shows the default account, I'd like to have a widget for each
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] r_a_c:
I have a question for stock e mail. I can only choose sync : Push and by hand(when clicking sync). I don't have hourly, every 2 hours, 6,....

Where can I find that? It's hotmail account...

Also I can't find the option, delete only from phone or server too?

On my htc is had both visible? You too it seems, strange, not?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaevy:
I gave up on the stock programm.

I am using K9 now.

It has way more features and works really well.

I found another bug today. Its not possible to open email attachments with polaris office (at least not with the stock programm and K9).

Fix: Dont use PolarisOffice^^. I am now using quickoffice and everything works just fine,even .pdf.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] forgetmyname:
Interesting. I had K9 on my SGS i9000. It died when Samsung used RFS filesystems, but was quick after using EXT. I had about 1,000 message in the Inbox, but I only every downloaded the first 100 messages with full headers.

By the way, APG (PGP programme) integrates with K9.

Push email works.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ginloin:
'To' field in sent items

I think the stock email app is great on the S2, but just had a question. I may be missing an obvious setting here or something, but does anyone know if it's possible to show the 'To' field in sent items? It shows the subject and the 'From' field, which seems kinda redundant since every email is from me (and I know that I'm the one that sent them!).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hazem77:
i found K-9 to have a lot more features than the stock one... however it lacks two issues for me, one is back and restore of accounts...

and if anyone found a Widget, just an icon one that makes Manual REFRESH of email accounts...without even opening K-9! Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Miracle1980:
Guys please help me. I want to use the stock email application of Samsung and i configured in Imap with my Gmail account. But how can i select the option to receive the emails in push? Everytime i get an email its always the GMAIL application to receive it in push. I need to manually refresh the EMAIL application.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hamkeng:
You can try Gmail with Exchange:

The Gmail Exchange ActiveSync server settings for accessing incoming messages and online folders in an Exchange-enabled email program, cell phone or mobile device are:

Gmail Exchange ActiveSync server address: m.google.com

Gmail Exchange ActiveSync domain: google

Gmail Exchange ActiveSync user name: Your full Gmail address (e.g. me@gmail.com)

Gmail Exchange ActiveSync password: Your Gmail password

Gmail Exchange ActiveSync TLS/SSL required: yes

Select "Push" in settings
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Miracle1980:
It's strange...in the Samsung Email application i don't have this option to use Gmail Exchange ActiveSync. There is just Microsoft Exchange

Sorry...i configured and now seems to work... THANK YOU MAN!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] machatta:
Titanium Backup will do the data backups for K9

Love the K9 as you can choose how much data to download. I review a lot of attachments and waiting for the stock to fetch them is a major pain.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hazem77:
thaaanks... will it back up the accounts settings? good to hear...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ginloin:
So does anyone else find it strange that the 'Sent Items' folder shows the 'From' name rather than 'To'? All I see is a huge list of emails with my name in them, which kinda renders sent items unusable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rb210:
Hi, I'm looking for a case for the Samsung Galaxy SL GT-I9003. I tried a Galaxy S I9000 Case-Mate Tough Case at a local store but it did not fit. I'm looking for something more sturdy than the leather case that comes with the phone.

Is there an existing case from the for the phones below that should most likely fit?

Dimensions = Height x Length x Width

GT-I9003 = 123.7 x 64.2 x 10.6 mm

Mesmerize = 124.5 x 64.3 x 9.9 mm

Fascinate = 125 x 64 x 10.5 mm

GT-I9000 = 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm

S 4G = 122.4 x 64.5 x 9.9 mm

I am considering the Otterbox cases as well. Anyone with experience?

I tried a Case mate (silicon) for i9000 at a store and after a little fight it fit in!! Not a perfect glove but works absolutely fine...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rb210:
When I tried it at a store, the guy gave up after putting the hard cover at the back. It just wouldn't go because of the phone's thickness.

Has anyone got a good case fitting this phone so far?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sgsI9003:
I bought for Rs 300 a silicon skin with good friction (it has dotted groves)so it wont slip in a sweaty hand for my i9003 & it perfectly clamps to the back plate, dont buy the rubber one they slip.

This DIY solution also exist

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1071859
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rb210:
Does the silicone skin provide enough protection against falls? Basically I'm looking for something that'll improve the phone's resistance.

That carbon fibre mod looks nice. But again it'll only help with grip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sgsI9003:
Yes it does protect to an extent to fall & rough handling but this is not a hard case so what you need is a case from casemate, they have skins & back add on covers which are harder.

http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Cases/Samsung-Cases.asp

Mine is almost similar case material like shown in this image

another similar material

I decided against case mate bcoz on a sweaty hand the rubber material slip (remember we are hot & humid country) increasing the chance of slipping, with the skin cover that is reduced as it gives very tight grip with sweaty hands, the material is such that when its wet it provides friction & more over I have lanyards attached to the handset so not much chance to make it fall.

any hard case not custom made for i9003 will have that problem & there are not many cases for i9003 as yet so you are going to have hard time finding one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tejesh.mundra:
Chek for case mate online they are preety gud ....

But i still think pouch is better as it covers the entire screen best protection
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rb210:
I finally found a silicone case that fits the phone perfectly and I am using it. Good point about the case-mate case rubber slipping. This one has a good grip and feels a bit sturdy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sgsI9003:
Yes it indeed feels quite sturdy, just now a friend from Chennai was here & she felt the same problem with her rubber case, the moment she saw my case she said it looks solid where can I get that, we just bought 2 cases 1 for spare & 1 for actual use on her galaxy i9003.

My thought is that if you have a thicker case but it often slips then its better to thinner case which does stay in your hand & not slip.

No slipping no falling the phone will remain protected in your hands.:) even if your hands are wet this silicon case gives enough friction to get the grip.

Found few more silicon cases online & within India

I bought this one too and STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND THIS!

its good for the first few days, and after that its horrid! its a plastic case with a rubberish coating over it - something like a film on it. Now this started peeling from all corners and edges for me from after a weeks use itself.

Its been 20 days i have been using this, and am already looking for a new case.

These is the case i am planning for:
