[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Porcelina:
Uhh.. I have the original Desire Z S540 Pouch..

I have yet to put my phone in it, because it seems like i have to use more force on it than I'm comfortable with to get the phone into the pouch...:confused:

It might be just me though, the last phone I had a pouch to was the Touch HD (a pouch came in the box), which was in a softer fabric..
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gbarayah:
Thanks that is good to know. I will go with one of the cheaper pouches if that is the case. I constantly have my phone in my pockets and even with a screen protector, the bodies tend to show some wear rather quickly so having them in a pouch or on a belt clip is a must for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Porcelina:
Well.. keep in mind that the pouch for the Touch HD was soft, so I'm used to not having to use any force to put the phone into the pouch. The leather pouch is very nice, but tight. Not sure if its possible to bend and twist it a little to make it soften and loosen up a bit :)

Edit: I have tried bending and twisting it a little, and it got a little better. Still a tight fit, but atleast now it doesnt require an extreme force to get the phone down.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] aka_gk:
I'd be worrying about gentle z-hinge while pushing it down, it looks so soft and fragile

I wish we have that range of accessories apple gadgets have :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Porcelina:
Um.. The hinge is not a concern for me at all, and even more so since this is a vertical pouch. I do wish though that there was a pouch for the Z similar to the one that came with the Touch HD.. I like the softer pouches.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gbarayah:
I have been reading over in the G2 forums about what people are doing for their phones and it seems as though the G1 OEM Case fits very well.

http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-HTC-Google-Phone-Pocket/dp/B001OOEQJ2

You can get them for even cheaper on Ebay, $3-4.

Someone was kind enough to post some pictures and it definitely looks like a nice, snug fit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=796845&page=4
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Porcelina:
I will continue trying to make the original pouch work by finding a way to stretch it a little. Once the leather is less stiff, it might be a better fit? I do have to admit, though, that I have ordered a soft pouch.. :o Not sure if a leather pouch is right for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] steviewevie:
I've got one of those. The first time I put the phone in it did feel slightly tight. But any force will be at the sides, it won't be pressing down on the screen. Mine feels fine now.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gbarayah:
How long did it take for yours to 'stretch' out and how is the fit now? Do you think you could post some pictures of the case with the device in it?

From what I've read I'm probably going to be ordered one of each and then deciding which one I like better. In the past I've used leather pouches and they have worked very well for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] steviewevie:
It felt tighter than I was expecting when I put the phone in. I don't think it's really stretched very much so far (a few days of use), but then again I think it's designed to be snug, hence the pull-tab to release the phone, rather than it just sliding out. So if you dropped the phone in the case, it's definitely going to stay in the case, rather than falling out of it.

Pics attached.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gbarayah:
Very nice. Thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated. Will be jumping on Ebay and ordering one myself. I don't mind the 'snug' fit particularly in the even of a collision with the concrete and until you showed/mentioned the pull tab, I had no idea the case even had that feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] SoulGraphicsBrand:
Hi, I like this case but you had a problem with the magnet that is the case?

Sorry for my English
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] steviewevie:
Which case are you referring to ? The one that I posted about doesn't have a magnet.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] SoulGraphicsBrand:
In the second photo, the extraction strip that helps you remove the terminal does not have a magnet?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] steviewevie:
No. No magnet there. It stays in place on its own.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] SoulGraphicsBrand:
Thanks for the reply :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiddlestix:
Hey guys

just wondering, has released the htc SMS/MMS application? I like the way it looks over the default froyo one thats distributed.

any help with this would be awesome.

Presently I am using CyanogenMod 6.0.0

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
I was messing around with the Galaxy Tab firmware and found that its email app is really nice and works amazingly well on JI6 for our Captivates. I definitely like it better than our stock email app.

The only problem I've found, and it's relatively minor, is that I can't scroll to the very bottom of emails, so the last few lines of emails aren't visible unless they're short and don't require scrolling. Usually it's just a signature or something unimportant that isn't visible, but it would be awesome if we could figure out a way to fix it. It surely has something to do with the Tab having a higher resolution screen than us.

I attached some screenshots and the apk for people to fiddle with.

Installation Instructions

1. Backup and delete Email.apk and Email.odex in /system/app.

2. Copy the new Email.apk to /system/app and select/install it from there using a file manager.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuherrm:
does look interesting, looks alot more feature rich than the captivate email client, hoping the cut off gets fixed n ill deff download
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
looks very nice! does it only get cut off while in landscape mode or does the orientation not matter?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Have you tried it with Exchange? If so, does it let you picke which folders to sync?

Does it co-exist with the existing email client or do you have to replace the Captivate one?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice3186:
nice find

just installed and all you need to do is pinch to zoom and you can see the bottom!!!!!

I will be using this now! Thanks again sweet find!

As for exchange you might be able to get it through IMAP but i dont know for sure!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Gets cut off in both.

The landscape mode is really cool though. Oh, and animations (scrolling, zooming, page transitions, etc) are all very smooth.

Don't think it lets you pick which folders to sync with Exchange.

Not sure if it can coexist. Maybe someone with a little more development experience can chime in and tell us how to do that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Yeah, it's possible to zoom and see the bottom, but it would still be nice if we could get it working perfectly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbloog:
What should I use to uninstall then install this? Root Explorer, or Droid Explorer?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
You can use Root Explorer for everything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbloog:
Well root explorer doesn't give me an option to uninstall when I click the apk, and Titanium Backup can't find it to uninstall it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Just delete the Email.apk and Email.odex files after copying them over to your SD. Then copy the new Email.apk over to system/app and click it to install. All from Root Explorer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbloog:
Thanks,it works and its nice. Let me know if there are any other apks that we can replace!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
If I do this via ADB, can i just run ADB install? Or does it have to be in the system/app directory first?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbloog:
He said in the system app directory, so thats what I did. But you could try a straight install and tell us if it works. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlecKyle:
A straight install definitely doesn't work.

Is there a way to have the phone think it isn't a file that already exists in the phone so I don't have to delete the default email app?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I found good and bad - the good is that typing a name that is on the Exchange server (not on the phone) and it automatically searches for you and pulls it back.

The bad - I can't find anyway to sync any other folder. Even moving to my junk email or sent folder and nothing updates.

Looks like i am going back to 2.1 for now.

EDIT - spoke to soon, eventually they flow into Junk email box, but no way to force sync.

Also, the buttons are to small for the Captivate screen (compose, forward, reply) - but the client is nicer then stock - if only it were built for the captivate.

EDIT 2: seems to be no way (I can find) to turn off images - so all the web beacons and stalker tags are activated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfriedman79:
App looks very nice and we can hope some of the pretty-ness can eventually make into the Captivate app. Looks like there are some exchange issues trying to use on the 2.2 captivate build. Not sure if its the captivate itself or just an incompatibility between the app and OS, but push email doesn't seem to work for me and I have some issues getting it to sync a full 2 weeks work of email.

Sadly I am back to Touchdown until I can find a better option.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
is there a reason my /system folder only has like 3.5 mb of free space?? I backed up the original email.apk, and tried to delete both original files, but they would never delete. I even tried to just replace with the new mail.apk but it said i didn't have enough free space. Using root explorer, btw

Really like this email app....will be keeping it for a while.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingclue:
I like it.

Only problem I'm having is that it won't sync my Exchange inbox more recently than 10/5. Also the text wraps in the middle of words. The layout is really nice though. Originally, it was giving me Connection Errors, but then it started syncing when I wasn't looking.... :confused: And now it's been stuck on October 5th for a while, and the Inbox is the only folder it has synced. I saw another user waited a bit and ended up with a lot of stuff showing up later, so I'll hold off and see what happens.

I'm thinking it doesn't have to do with my server, considering today's emails were being pushed through on the last Email app I had.

Used adb to install.

EDIT: When I sync for one month, I don't get anything newer than the 5th (3 days ago). When I sync for a day, I only get yesterday and some of the 6th. I've tried both with the network-set date and time, as well as setting it manually.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h078:
Followed the instruction and installed via Root Explorer - however, Force Close every time I open it...

Any help will be appreciated
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schahr01:
Did the stock captivate app let you sync a month? Maybe the email admin locked the max sync time to 3 days...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingclue:
Yeah the stock app was working perfectly. I'm still messing around with the app to see if there's a way to get it to work better but every time I uninstall and reinstall, it seems like it gets "stuck" on a different day. It's like the download from the server hits a wall and just quits forever.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudakeru:
FWIW I'm getting the same problem with this on Cog2.2b5.5. As far as I can tell, DG deodexed the email app, because there is no Email.odex anywhere in the system. Backed up the stock Email.apk and copied this over, and even after a reboot it force closes. The app launches and I can configure an address, but as soon as I try to fetch mail or send mail it crashes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Writers some are having problems and some aren't. This worked the first timer for me, then after upgrading to beta 5.5 and restoring apps and data with titanium backup I couldn't compose a new message. So then I used titanium backup to uninstall after I backed up the stock files to the sd card, and then moved the new file to system/apps and installed. I think it needs a clean uninstall then reinstall
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingclue:
I used adb to rm the Email.apk that comes with 5.5, installed the Tab Email.apk (through adb as well), set chown root.root and chmod 644, and had "Connection error" issues. So then I read up a little bit and sometimes people said they had issues with Exchange in FroYo if their first sync comes without an empty inbox. So I emptied my inbox and used adb to uninstall then reinstall the Tab Email.apk with chown and chmod settings as well (not sure if those are even necessary). It's working pretty well now (a couple days worth of emails, both incoming and outgoing, are OK).

Not sure if it was the empty inbox, or the uninstall and reinstall of the Tab app, but either one or both solved my problem for the moment.

I'd like to say that I really do like the format of this email app, and the bottom cutoff and small buttons are no problem at all for me.... They're well worth it. The only nagging thing I can think of *****ing about would be the mid-word text wrapping. This is definitely the best Email app I've seen for the phone so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
lol i really need to proof read my swyped entries. that should read "wierd! some are..."
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingclue:
I'm pretty sure it is directly related to how things are set up server-side. I don't know enough about how that's being done in my case, but I did get the app to totally stop syncing today after working perfectly throughout the night and most of the morning. I used Outlook on my computer and moved some of the emails from the backup folder back into my inbox (first sync was done with empty inbox). That caused it to just stop doing anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudakeru:
Kind of feel silly for not thinking of that, but it worked like a charm. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingclue:
Completely hit-and-miss with me. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling this again, and no dice whatsoever. I've tried multiple times today and I just end up with a blank Inbox, no matter how many new emails start rolling into my Outlook.... Craziness. I'm 100% sure it has to do with how my interface with the server is setup, but I wouldn't even know where to start looking to figure it out.

Just odd that the default app would work fine, but this one doesn't. But I guess that's what happens when the app was designed for a different device entirely.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingclue:
It's like I get something different every time I reinstall or reconfigure. This time I can send emails but I don't ever receive anything and my Inbox is empty.

Haha it's like playing roulette. Lemme spin the wheel again...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingclue:
Ok after an absolute ton of messing around to try to get this working, I think I might have found a method that usually nets decent results in my particular case. I used the following process to the "t" as posted by jneilliii, and also absolutely had to make sure my Inbox in Outlook was empty on the first sync. I do notice if I try to put my emails back into my Inbox in Outlook, my phone Email gets hung up and stops working. If I try to set up the Email with emails already in the Inbox, it seems to download a few of them and then just choke and never download any more; it chokes at a different point every time, so I know it's not the content of a particular message that's causing the issue. I can still send in that case though, so I'm wondering what the hold up is on downloading the messages to the phone.

If I didn't set ownership and permissions as described below, but used cat to transfer the file, I would get an empty inbox but for some reason could still send emails. I think if I just straight did a cp of the Email file, it didn't work either. Definitely needed the ownership and permissions.

I was using the Email.apk offered at the beginning of this thread.

UPDATE: Worked for a few hours, successfully downloaded, read, and replied to 6 emails, and then I got a "Connection error" and no further updates of the Inbox. Bummer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragingclue:
Well I found what's clogging my pipes for the Inbox downloads.... Any email with a link in it causes it to hang permanently. Even a link like someone's email address typed out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.jaguar:

Anyone know if it is possible to use the .apk file in the NookColor? The resolution is the same as the Tab, and it would be awesome if it worked. NookColor is only Android 2.1 so that may kill the possibility of it working right there.

I plan on rooting my NookColor this weekend. I will give this email client it a shot and report back unless someone else beats me to it.

Update: Didn't work. Was able to root the NookColor and get the Email.apk file it the right directory, but the install failed. Probably has since it was made for 2.2
