[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxbat121:
Nope. Pop3 is one of the oldest protocol ever. So if you have multiple computers access the same account using pop3, it is very difficult to sync with each other. And it requires SMTP server for sending emails. Some networks won't let you pass out any SMTP mails for the sake of preventing email spammers.

Here is one of my work around:

I setup my gmail account to periodically grab emails from my Hotmail accounts from me and put a label on these emails. So all my emails goes into GMail with Hotmails with proper label. You can even setup your GMail (on the web account settings) to reply your email with your Hotmail as your return email address. This way, you get easy email management from GMail as well as proper HTML email support.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nuprotocol:
Thanks! I may try this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ndy4eva:
Thanks for the info.

I thought I was going crazy. I used iPhone 4 before and I didn't have any problem using Hotmail exchange (ActiveSync) and work Exchange. Now I have to click "Load more details" all the time on Galaxy Tab, and Infuse. It's bit of pain. I think it's more to do with the email client. If I use TouchDown or Hotmail (new from MS) client, they don't have issues.

I hope Samsung release new updated email clients.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nuprotocol:
You more than likely right. Its the email client, b/c the HTC Flyer and my HTC EVO3D don't have these issues.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] polonium101:
Strange to attribute it to Samsung, Microsoft, etc., because Hotmail works normally (automatically loads all details) on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone. Why do they make it work (let it work?) there but not on the Galaxy tab?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unknownman:
[Q] Assuming whoever reads this post is familiar with the 4G, 3G, Edge monikers could someone let me know if there exists a modem for the captivate that only uses Edge?

[Reason for Question:]

Yesterday, messing around with settings I noticed that my phone has the ability to change from 4G/3G -> E. Doing this I noticed an immediate improvement with my battery life. I could surf the net, read emails, get notifications, and do everything I could do before. Just now my battery could last for 2+ days.

I am fully aware that a 4G connection can be faster than 3G and a 3G connection can be faster than E.

Although, I thought about the logical progression of events that may occur in my life, and if I ever found myself in a situation where I would need to download a large file it would likely be in response to something premeditated.

Therefore, I would likely be at some location where WIFI would be accessible or, if not, I could always remember to download it before I actually need it.

However, extrapolating that thought process out further, I thought okay well if there is WIFI around then there is a need for it. Therefore devices that can download and process at much faster speeds could be available. If those devices aren’t available I still have the ability to hop onto the WIFI network and download using my integrated wireless NIC.

Using this I have deduced that I do not, or will not ever, need High Speed connections on my phone. I do however like the android operating system and love my phone so I am in a bind. On one side there is the smart phone market and generation saying "faster is better" and on the other side there is me saying, "I want a phone that I can play some sweet games, utilize useful apps, check email, and have a true internet browser experience but at the end of the day I still want to be able to make a phone call damn it".

Don't get me wrong having ridiculously fast internet on my phone is cool but so was smoking when I was 16.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenKranged:
I'm not aware of an edge only modem.

Also there is no voice and data at the same time on edge. So if something is using data at the time you get a call it will go to voicemail. Just putting that out there in case you did not know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
settings>wireless and network>mobile networks> set network mode to gsm only.....

That way if you ever DO need 3g you can turn it back on too!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unknownman:
Thanks BenKranged and studacris .

I decided to go with Serendipity Rom -> http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/

Disabled HSDPA -> http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-turn-off-hsdpa-for.html

And if I want to I can only enable Edge as studacris explained.

I now get 2+ days out of a single charge and moderate to light use!

I am satisfied now!

p.s. Plus I flashed the ability to record calls so that is pretty cool too!

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Adventium:
Hi :)

I'm using my i5500 (Cm 7.1/1.3 with hotfix 1, and baseband LUYJPE) as my primary internet connection, using USB tethering. I have an unlimited data plan.

Whilst using utorrent, downloading will be fine for 20 mins or so, then just cut out. Data & tethering are still enabled on g5, and PC apparently still has a connection. But can't actually use net.

So, I disable tethering & re-enable, and it's fine again. So, it has to be a phone issue, right?

Anyone have any more info, or suggestions?

(I've tried this with Froyo, CM7.1 (1.0, and 1.3) and is there with all.)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Adventium:
Problem still exists, still looking for help/ideas.

Also, I've found that a lot of android phones do this, some say because of USB 1 ports, others because of the number of connections...I'm lost...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] atirox:
It sounds like your provider is capping your data session to me... On Bell Mobility in Canada, some customers have found that when using pda.bell.ca as their APN, the session caps out at whatever value, but when using pda2.bell.ca as their APN, the session isn't capped... It may be worth looking into, just for kicks and giggles...
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Adventium:
Yeah, that's what I thought originally.

But...

I can restart traffic by disabling & re-enabling tethering. The phones connection stays active during that time, and data picks up again.

Also, I can download as much as I like at a high rate, providing upload isn't much. A HTTP download whizzes by, where as any torrent crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] atirox:
The only other thing that comes to mind is that your provider may be throttling the connection... You could try encrypting the torrent's connections, and using non standard ports...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criptix:
Im thinking bout getting one but was wondering hows the reception, ear piece and speaker quality compare to the photons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
The Photon trumps it on all 3.

The earpiece sounds okay but the speakerphone is no match for the Photon. It is loud but sound muffled and distorts at high volume. I hear it crackling when I call Best Buys and get their greeting message.

Reception the Photon win hands down. My Photon gets clear calls even in the fringes. The Epic Touch was choppy.

Still I might just keep the Epic Touch as I use my phone more as a multimedia device than a phone. If the Photon ever solve their problem of the black crush and overly reddish skin tones I will switch back to it.

If you do any decent of calling ( using the phone as a phone) keep the Photon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criptix:
Cool thanks probably will stick with the photon then......how's the battery compare?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bandage:
Seemingly better battery life on the E.T. for me. Avg about 2-3 hours more IMO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
I have better battery life with the Photon.

One more note is that my Epic Touch is much more prone to overheating under heavy internet/streaming usage than my Photon. I think that is the trade off of a thin phone. If you look at the Galaxy S2 forum you will see the same complaints of overheating. The reason I mention this is when the battery overheats, the battery life turns to crap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r3a1ist:
I had and returned a photon, cheesy qhd display, thick body, it doesnt compare to the et4g. Speed or style or other hardware. Its a ferrari vs a corvette.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r3a1ist:
All i have to say is pentile is trash, i liked my evo's display better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r3a1ist:
Well its a third more powerful stock and a third thinner, a trade off i'm willing to take
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ranger093:
This phone blows the photon out of the water.... PERIOD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criptix:
The screen of the photon don't bother me its just the lack of devs we got some really good ones like yay, shabby and Sean but it looks like calkulin and some others have switched here. I look at my gfs vibrant screen and it looks horrible compared to the photon. My main concern was audio quality, reception ( my work is in a dip so even with my photon it eats battery due to poor signal) and battery. When im not at work photon is great so that was my reason for asking.....it seems photon has better reception than the epic can a few more photon users chime in with their opinion thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criptix:
I guess that's the other reason im on the fence the vibrant is garbage.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Paperinik68:
I have both phones. As much as the fanboys can sit here and talk about how great the ET4G is, they are mostly enamored with the speed and multimedia features of the phone. Shoot, I am enamored with them.

But, in my experience, the Photon gets reception in fringe areas where the ET4G just flat out craps out. The speaker is considerably clearer as are the calls, even on the earpiece and over BT.

I am going to keep both for now, but if I were looking for just an email/phone, the Photon would be my choice. Since my phone also doubles up as a camera and movie player... the ET4G may have to stay.

I think it all depends on what your priorities really are (as for everything else in life).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erislover:
To answer the OG's questions first:

Reception - not as good out of the box as the Photons, BUT there is a fix available (I've posted it in another thread) that makes the reception almost identical. With the fix, I now get 4g in my apt even though the 4g map shows 4g stops a couple blocks away (however, with the Photon, I got 4g reception in my apt without having to change around any settings).

Earpiece - I STRONGLY prefer the E4GT here. The Photon was OK, but nothing to write home (or on a forum) about. The E4GT has been as close to a landline as I've come since originally using cellphones...

Speaker - about equal. Both sound pretty good on speaker and I haven't gotten any complaints from friends when I put them on speaker. That's the standard I usually apply for judging speakers. However, if we're talking about music speakers, I think the Photon edges out the E4GT here, if only because of the size of the speakers. The E4GT's speaker is small and it's easy to cover up accidentally with your finger.

Display - this isn't even a contest. Anyone telling you the Photon's qHD display is amazing is either stoned, blind, or lying (or possibly just wrong). It is easy to see the pixels when scrolling on that phone, and the colors aren't anywhere near as perfect as those on the E4GT.

Battery - really too soon for me to tell. I had issues the first couple of days with both phones' battery. My issues were resolved with the Photon when I exchanged the battery (which was a pleasant surprise) although they didn't stay away permenantly with the new battery. The E4GT I've had some overheating-while-charging problems, as well as some ridiculously fast drain, but as of yesterday (NO FIX APPLIED whatsoever, mind you) the thing is holding up very well. Been off the charger for 1.5 hrs today and I'm at 99% with two texts sent only. Noteworthy is that the phone's screen is sometimes imprecise if you are charging it via wall outlet. I never had this problem with the Photon. Still, the problem hasn't happened since yesterday, so I'm not sure if my battery and charging problems were just magically resolved on their own and moving forward all will be good. Can report back later...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
Give me a break.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoothone:
I bought the Epic 4g and it is a kick ass phone and I passed the Photon to my wife but after using the Epic i took my Photon back. The Epic fanboys are going to tell you that the phone came straight from the gods. The Epic does not have the call quality nor the reception nor the volume that the speaker or speakerphone that my photon has. As far as I'm concerned my Photon has a better build quality than the Epic. Don't get me wrong the Epic is a beautiful phone its just sad how people rag on the Photon when it is a great phone itself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
Calkulin is switching to E4GT? Where did you see that??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DeeXii:
At the end of the day these are both top phones... I would say it depends on user preference and needs. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheMostToys:
+1. This describes my situation precisely. I've been using the E4GT side by side with the Photon (and a normal Epic 4G) since Friday. I was out of town over the weekend in an area with very weak Sprint service. The Photon was a clear winner on signal strength (call quality and data.)

I'm keeping all of the phones as they are all excellent choices, but I will be personally carrying the Photon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
Here are my initial impressions of how the ET4G compares with the Photon

* Reception - Photon is better (able to get consistent signal in fringe areas, though I have no real complaints about the Epic's reception)

* Battery life - Photon is marginally better (consistently able to get 18-24 hours on a single charge with moderate use on Photon: so far the ET4G, looking like 12-18 hours)

* Sound quality - Earpiece is a tie (no huge difference between the 2), but the Photon has a marginally better speakerphone (sounds better at loud volumes)

*Screen - ET4G wins hands down, no contest

* Camera - ET4G blows away every other camera I have ever used on a phone (except for the Nokia N8). If you plan on using your camera as a point and shoot camera, the ET4G is the only option. The ET4G's camera is fast enough to capture moving objects whereas the Photon had no shot whatsoever

* Everything else including performance/bugginess/etc: The ET4G wins pretty much every other category. The performance is absolutely amazing and unlike the Photon, it has no major bugs that I consider dealbreakers

Conclusion: If reception and battery life are the most important factors for you (as well as being able to do GSM internationally), the Photon might be the right choice. However, the E4GT wins in pretty much every other way, and I have to say that I'm quite happy I made the switch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comeatmebro:
In your hands it might feel like that because the photon is bigger, but samsung uses different type of plastic then most manufacturers which is a lot more shock resistant and doesn't bend/break.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
Hi,

First of much love to Android and may it be the best (and better than Apple)

I use Facebook additively and I installed Facebook for Android via Market.

Every time I post a status update or a check in using my HD2 I get " via mobile " instead of "via Andoid"

I would like to have "via Android" so everyone can see who great and versatile Android is.

I have uninstalled the Facebook app that came with the rom (HD2 NDT GINGER ROM Version 16.0) and downloaded and installed Facebook for Android via Market.

But this did not fix the problem so I checked my Facebook account settings and there wasn't anything there.

Does anyone know how to get "via Andriod" on Facebook?

P.s. I know you can change status via 3rd party apps and I prefer make the app do what it was designed to do.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pteradactyle:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rainor94:
I know it used to say via Android instead of via mobile but it seems there was an update of the app at one point and it disappeared. To test if you want you could install an older version of Facebook on your phone by finding it's apk file online. This was done by Facebook though but at the rate their app is developing and the quality it is, it shouldn't come as a surprise to us that they make stupid mistakes. Facebook is a huge company that could easily make a better Android app and I don't understand why they don't care... I encourage you do give them a 1 star rating on the Android market and write what you think of their app there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcabro:
I second that one. FB app for Android is huge pile of bull ****. I'm using it myself and the number of bugs is enormous.

I remember I was seeing "via Android" signatures before but they must have changed something so now it's gone.

"Suckerberg" :D Nice one!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xda_apprentice:
It's really weird that on my wall it clearly states "installed Facebook for Android"

So I have no idea what's going on!

I was running Windows 6.5 stock but Windows Mobile app is totally useless and had no Places feature. And then, I installed XDA app but that was not that impressive and gave a "XDA Windows Mobile" tag. As much as I like XDA I don't want it as a tag on all my posts.
