[Thunderbolt General] Ethridge3:
Stolen from another forum (original post regarded an EVO - but likely applies to all Android OS phones.

----------------

Mail accounts use one of 3 protocols: Exchange, IMAP and POP. Both Hotmail (as of a few weeks ago) and Exchange use over-the-air (Active) sync technology so when you delete a message on your phone, it's removed from the server and thus your client program as well (web/Outlook). IMAP also supports a similar 2-way update.

In order to only delete messages off your phone but not the server, you need to set up your mail accounts with POP instead. POP downloads a copy of and sends mail to/from the server -- nothing else. Hotmail supports POP but your Exchange server may or may not (a lot of larger companies policies do not). You'd have to contact the Administrators to find that out.

If they don't allow POP on Exchange, then ask if they can forward a copy of your mail to another public mail service, like Gmail. Then you can add the Gmail account to your phone via POP.

Remember, if you still want to sync your Contacts and Calendar with Exchange, you need to keep those and just uncheck Mail instead of deleting the Exchange account entirely.

-----------------

My 2c:

Not sure if it will work - I personally just delete on the fly, be damned the server. However, when I had an old LG v11000 (Envy Touch) I had the VZW email service on it - and even if I deleted from the phone, it was sitting on the server when I logged into Gmail. It was set up "POP3" style.
[Thunderbolt General] VolDroid:
IF you go under mail/menu/more/settings/send & Receive you can check the box that says "delete mail on server" to turn it on or off. I turn it off so that it will leave a copy on the server but remove it from my phone.
[Thunderbolt General] Redneck Trash:
Is that under the phone settings?
[Thunderbolt General] muerteman:
I believe its under settings int he mail app. as in go to the mail app then press menu more settings etc to get there as listed.
[Thunderbolt General] aznhybriddragon:
not sure about your email client but doesnt imap do that or you can choose to change it how you want it
[Thunderbolt General] Redneck Trash:
That worked. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] VolDroid:
Glad I could help. Sorry didn't see your previous post till now.
[Thunderbolt General] rocketlol:
I am having the same, or a similar problem. On my PC I use POP3 to access my mail; the ISP recommended using IMAP on the HTC (with different "in" and "out" mailbox settings for the HTC IMAP i.e. on the HTC two different settings for in and out). Was working fine but then found that messages I had received on my HTC were not appearing on my PC when I got home (my PC had been off, usually it is on, syncing every 2 minutes). I think this is because I had deleted them from my HTC in the meantime.

Trouble is, there is no setting ""delete mail on server" to check or uncheck under mail/menu/more/settings/send & receive, so I cannot follow the above advice. Only Mail size limit, Update schedule, Download options (it's not in there), Auto download message, Folder to sync, Reply with original text and Always bcc me.

What am I missing please ? Software says it is Android 2.3.3.

Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I use K9 mail and go to more/settings/fetching mail/when I delete
[Thunderbolt General] rocketlol:
I am flummoxed. I changed the HTC settings from IMAP to POP and did some tests; nothing being deleted ie still available on server. But when I looked at "Send and receive" options, I now have a list with 2 new option, inluding ""delete mail on server". It was not there before. Honest !!

I have been bak and re-set the thing to IMAP, and then the option about deleting from the server disappears again. So I am not going mad. But why should the options be different ?

low on memory

My father In-law has a Thunderbolt and is constantly having a low on memory issue on his phone.. When I go and look at his app's, his exchange is hogging up 2.6 gigs of memory while everything else (APPS) is using only KB'S of memory nothing big.. How would I be able to transfer his exchange email to the SD card,, He has a 32 gig card with 26 gigs of it being free.

Thanks for your help.
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
Using Nook Color, CM7 nighly 107.

Got Netflix working a while back by modifying the build.prop file using ES File Explorer - no issues.

Tried again to make some mods and cannot save it anymore. ES reports "writable - NO"

Tried to "su chmod 666" it and it comes back with "File system read-only"

Is anybody else seeing this? What am I missing?

Thanks...
[Nook Color General] dhyamato:
I encountered a similar situation during the build.prop edit while using ES File Explorer on my NC running CM7 on internal memory.

Possibly, the permissions in the program need to be changed to enable it to "write".

Here's what I did: Menu==>Settings==>Root options. "Check" Root Explorer and if my memory serves me correctly, click "Yes" to get past the "Experimental Feature", toggle the "Cyanogen Mod" (if you're using CM7) radio button, click OK and check the "Mount File System" box to make the system writable.

Now, it should be writable. Hope this helps.
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
Thanks for the tip, that wasn't it :(

I remember setting those originally. I just checked again and "Root Explorer" and "Mount FIle System" are both checked.
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
In 106 SU wasn't working correctly until I reinstalled it. You can't modify build.prop without superuser rights. Check the thread about SU / Superuser missing in 106 (and I bet 107) for instructions. It worked for me.
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
Interesting... the OP withdrew his post: (apparently it's back in 107)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131369

However when I checked it, the SU app was misbehaving, Force closing, refusing to respond to the menu command. So I reinstalled it. Now it's OK.

:( Unfortunately I still cannot edit the build.prop file.

I don't think it's a superuser problem because without SU access ES cannot even see the system folder!!! I can see it, and edit the file, just cannot save it.
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
You might try fixing permissions under recovery.
[Nook Color General] bike2002:
have you tried the app: nook netflix fixer?
[Nook Color General] n0c:
I've changed it successfully on the past 6 consecutive nightlies using adbwireless pull/push. However since 106 I've hsd to reflash su. N108 hasn't given me the su issue. Is it fixed?
[Nook Color General] photoassign:
Same problem with the build.prop file: cannot save changes, or copy over it. Running in nightly 108 today. Tried both Root Explorer and ES File manager.
[Nook Color General] foltz61:
I think you need to change the build.prop file properties to be rw using chmod. Don't forget to mount system as rw before doing the chmod.
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
Tried that (sudo chmod 666...), get the same message. "file system is read-only"
[Nook Color General] markawashington:
backup and restore fresh start....?
[Nook Color General] foltz61:
I'm not great at linux but I do it differently. Try chmod +rw /system/build.prop . Make sure you have system mounted as RW first. I'd also check superuser to make sure whatever terminal/file explorer you are using still has root privileges.
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
666 is the same thing as +rw in this case...

It looks like the "fresh start" suggestion a couple of posts up is the best :confused:
[Nook Color General] foltz61:
All those numbers always confuse me :-). Sorry. Good luck.
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
Thanks! That did it!

Does anybody know why this app can modify the build.prop file while ES File Explorer cannot?
[Nook Color General] NCKevo:
I had to mount the folder containing build.prop with rw access in order to use chmod. I think the latest version of the netflix fixer may do the same (see my post in that thread). In short, I used;

su
busybox mount -0 rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /system

in the terminal before using the chmod command in order to give myself rw permissions in the folder. I'm only two days old at this, so it beats me why root doesn't have normal rw permissions on the folder.
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
Thanks for the tip. I ran the command successfully (by the way, small typo, I believe it's -o not -0) and was able to chmod and edit the file with vi.

That's where confusion began. I reboot and after the reboot I was able to modify the file without remounting the /system directory. The mount command does not surive a reboot does it?
[Nook Color General] neidlinger:
Have you tried just pulling the build.prop

c:/<target_folder> adb pull /system/build.prop

then editing it with note pad then pushing it back and rebooting>
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
That is confusing. What are the full (i.e. ls -l) permissions on the file now? (It's possible that it somehow ended up with o+w, but I don't understand how - vi isn't exactly known for changing permissions on-the-fly.)

Rodney
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
Yes, and I got almost the same message when pushing it back: "Filesystem is read only"

Maybe it was something with the last 5 or 6 nightlies which changed in 7.1RC1 because I cannot duplicate the problem anymore. Now I can change permissions on the build.prop file in terminal, with ES File Explorer

and

I can push it with adb.
[Nook Color General] mwilli20:
Now the permissions are rw-rw-rw and I can change them back and forth to rw-r--r-- which I was not able to do before!!! Kept on getting the "filesystem read-only" message.
[Nook Color General] neidlinger:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system

SHOULD make it read/write accessible. I know it's not the exact coding but it works.

punch in

c:\[user_name_\target folder >[B] adb shell[/B]
# [B]mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system[/B]
# [B]exit[/B]
c:\[user_name_\target folder > [B]adb push build.prop /system[/B]
c:\[user_name_\target folder > [B]adb shell[/B]
# [B]mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /system[/B]

REGARDING BATTERY IMPROVEMENT: I don’t post very often, but I found this:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22620-settings-to-optimize-battery-on-cm7-last-updtd-may-8-2011/

last night and thought it would be useful. I am receiving my replacement MT4G tomorrow and will definitely be going toward the CM7 route. I have looked at the MT4G threads before and have never come across this so I hope I don’t upset anyone…just trying to be helpful for my fellow MT4G owners. Good luck and I hope it helps.

REGARDING CUSTOMIZATION: I also found this:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide/

last night too and thought it would be helpful for noobs or even more intermediate users. I thought it was super noob friendly and kind of packages everything together so you don’t have to go around looking for everything. Once again, I hope it helps!

I have notice random rebooting where it would ask me to report it to HTC, but I didn't think anything of it. I wouldn't say it's frequent but it happened a few times this week that I've noticed. I don't know if I should get a replacement since this Wed will be the last day I can from Walmart or just hang on to it maybe it's software issue?

Mine is dated 5/25 from Walmart.

Anyone else with this problem and what should I do?

Ok I bought mine form Walmart! And I have had a random reboot on the third day of having phone. It rebooted on a call or when i press call. I hard reset it and it hasn't did it in a few days, well today on a call while leaving a voicemail it rebooted on me. I have looked at all settings and also did *#*#4636#*#* and changed up stuff. Still does it. I bought mine on 6/10
[HTC Sensation] gabomix:
--> 4 <-- phones with resetting problems

I am having the same problems. I bought two phones at walmart, they rebooted about 3 times a day. I don't think there was a particular event that triggered the reset, one time I had one of the phones off (sleep), and then it suddenly reset.

So I returned the 2 phones to walmart and then I went to a t-mobile store to buy another 2, I spent $200 extra (argh!!!). These new phones are also resetting themselves randomly.

I have searched the web and I see a bunch of people reporting the same problem:

[Verizon Droid Charge] rheno:
I just bought the Charge but haven't activated it yet. My SIM card is in the mail. Am I good to root and start flashing before activation or should I just be patient, wait a day or two, activate the phone then start playing? I don't see how it would make a difference, but better safe than sorry.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
I would definitely wait a bit first. Its rather difficult to even get past the activation screen without an activated SIM, and you also want to make sure the hardware is good. It would also be best to activate it and accept the OTA EE4 update to get the latest basebands, as those of us who were already rooted needed to flash back to stock ED1 and do that anyway. I'd take at least a week or so to get used to the phone, how it works, make sure there's no problems, etc.

Granted, its actually the SIM that's activated, not the phone itself, so I'm sure its possible. But its untested territory AFAIK, and could give you some nasty results. I see no logical reason or advantage to you rooting your phone before you can even use it, and there's a few things I'd be worried about. Patience is a virtue. :)
[Nexus S General] patseei:
Hi:

I know this forum maybe bias, but nevertheless, I want your honest opinion.

I am getting rid of iPhone, sick of Apple. Having said that, I am thinking about an Andriod phone.

I was thinking about Nexus S. Any other phone that maybe better than Nexus S? Please recommend. Thanks.

:)
[Nexus S General] kingofthebraves:
If you can get a good deal for the NS then go ahead.

Otherwise if you can afford, save up for a SGS2. The NS is now 6 months old and officially dethroned by the SGS2.
[Nexus S General] deejaylobo:
In terms of functionality, I think the Nexus S can still hold it's own. The fact that it's been 6 months means you'll get a better deal. However, do your research, and figure out what you expect from your device. If you want 720p, TV-out, SD Card storage, other bells and whistles; then, this isn't the phone for you. If you want a reliable device with a pure Google experience not to mention some great ROMs to flash, I would recommend the Nexus S.

Quote from this article that I think is pretty spot on: http://thisismynext.com/2011/05/30/coming-nexus-s/

"So what keeps bringing me back to a somewhat cheap-feeling phone that lacks external storage, Wi-Fi calling, Gorilla Glass, and HD video capture?

I’ve thought a lot about that over the past 24 hours, and I think it has everything to do with quality of the overall experience, not just the hardware or the software alone. The Nexus S is my constant. It does everything pretty well, rather than a few things extremely well and the rest poorly. What I’ve come to realize — for me, personally — is that I’ll take a reliable device with middling specs over a monster with crappy firmware every time. What good is a dual-core phone with a laggy UI?"
[Nexus S General] suksit:
It depends on what you mean by "better". If you mean hardware, yes there are so many phones that are better than NS. If you mean pure Google Android experience, nothing is better than the Nexus phone series. But again if you mean software and multimedia, there are better phones than NS out there.

For me, NS is better than any other phone when it comes to customization and flexibility. I can unlock it, root it, flash custom recovery, flash many custom ROMs, or even compile my own ROM/kernel and try it without worrying that I will break the warranty. And if you know what you're doing to your phone, I believe it's safe to say that the NS is unbrickable.
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
Root nexus s warranty will not void?

P.s. will receive my nexus s by this month.
[Nexus S General] patseei:
Thanks everyone for your 2cents. To be honest, I do not use my iphone other than, calls, txt, gps, yelp, calendar, etc. Nothing more like video, watch youtube, etc. I think NS 2 is a good fit.

I will do some more research. Thanks again!
[Nexus S General] patseei:
And did i tell you i m sick of iphone/ios and ATT? :D
[Nexus S General] jottosson:
Yes, but so are all other phones as well... :) There ARE better phones out there. The hardware of nexus s (except for NFC) was outdated already when it was launched. I'd personally think twice before buying a Nexus S today, but I think I'd do it anyway just for its flexibility and I don't think I'll every buy a non-Nexus phone.
[Nexus S General] fraspas:
What made you sick with Apple and their iOS? Honestly, even tho I've been using Android for a while now, I can say apple's apps are much better made and more professional looking. Android's apps are all ad-ridden, glitchy, and feels second rate.
[Nexus S General] mindwalkr:
I've always read the contrary, that rooting WILL void the warranty. Do you have a specific official statement (from Google or Samsung) stating that rooting the Nexus S will not void the warranty ?
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
Just use adblock to block the advertisement. XD
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Yeah because empty ad boxes are so much more aesthetically pleasing ;)

I'd rather have the ads, myself.
[Nexus S General] suksit:
AFAIK, what would void your warranty is unlocking bootloader, not rooting.

My point was because you can easily unlock/lock your bootloader and flash ROMs so there's no need to worry if you want to claim your warranty. Just flash a stock nandroid backup, reboot once so the stock recovery is restored, then re-lock the bootloader and you're good to go.

[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I think most honest people have to say this. I've had an iPod Touch since 2008, and I upgraded to the 4G late last year.

I've been rocking Android phones for a while now, and I still have to say iOS apps rock. I can make one exception where in the Foursquare App you can change the category of a venue while flagging while you can't do that on the iOS app. Don't know why there's this discrepancy. But even the Facebook App is still TRASH on Android. It's been God knows how long and they can't even make the two platforms even in capabilities.
[Nexus S General] fraspas:
Actually most apps are trash on Android. Reading through posts, people have been saying, "hey don't worry about it, android is still relatively new compared to apple, give it some time for them to clean up their apps, you'll see." And these posts were from 2009.

Fast forward 2 years later to 2011, nothing has changed with android apps. Its still tacky and not at all aesthetic. I don't think android apps will ever improve and considering how fragmented (meaning too many different versions across the various phone makers) it is, I don't think it ever will unless Google steps in and standardizes it.

Lets face it, apple is the Lego of the mobile world while we android users are the megablocks.
