[Desire HD General] mathrania:
People, i want to know what do u use for Gmail account emails???

Do you use "mail" or "gmail" ???

Well,in mail you can set the synchronosation and retrival timings and frequency.

While using the "gmail" , u cannot set frequency of sync of mails.

Do suggest what is best for Gmail???
[Desire HD General] tmh:
Guess it's personal taste, but I myself prefer the Gmail app, since mail notifications appear pretty much the second the mail arrives, and not on the next sync :)
[Desire HD General] dukynko:
I prefer gmail app too. There is no synch time, because gmail app have push notification.
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
I peter the Gmail app as well. Main reason is push notification and send as feature.
[Desire HD General] BigMango:
I had the same dilemma, HTC mail or gmail....

The gmail app has at least 2 important features missing:

1. There is no pinch to zoom (you can't zoom, this can be very frustrating at times).

2. There is no notification for incoming mail in labels (you only get notified for the main inbox).

For these reasons I finally decided to use k9 mail. It has much more features than the gmail app, supports push as fast if not faster than the gmail app including for labels, and zoom works as well as with HTC mail.
[Desire HD General] mean-machine:
Mail can of course push gmail as well. When setting up an account don't choose googlemail (POP3/IMAP), but set it as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync using details as described on http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299

I know it shows how to set it up on Windows Mobile, but you just need to use the same domain etc.

It will then push email just as it arrives to your mailbox. On my DHD it always beeps earlier than notification addon installed on Google Chrome on my PC when email arrives.
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
I'm using Gmail with all my other emails imported into it, so I only have to check one inbox to read mail from my AOL, MSN, Hotmail, Roadrunner, and of course, Gmail itself. Very nice mail app.
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
I use Gmail.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Gmail. If only because I can't be bothered setting up anything else.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Gmail. It's painless.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] derkie:
mail

Mail (gmail push). just because i use widgets . :)
[Desire HD General] BigMango:
The problem with HTC mail is the same as with the gmail app : it doesn't push the labels; so any new mail you have set to go to a label will not get notified (for instance, I get no notification for my alias email that goes to a sub folder aka gmail label).

K9 Mail has solved this problem. It's the only free mail app so complete and it just "works" where the 2 others above fail.
[Desire HD General] dlads:
Tbh, I do prefer Gmail but when I got a reply from co pilot I had to reply within their email and I couldn't because it did not allow me to edit via my phone, its a shame really as I needed to send the email whilst I was on the move, but comparing the two, I do prefer the Gmail overall. The normal email has problems syncing and sometimes brings up emails from ages ago which I had forgotten about
[Desire HD General] FletchNZ:
I use Mail to sync with my my company's exchange server, mostly for calender and contacts so I know what im meant to be doing, I wont sync my mail unless there is something specific i need.

I still use gmail app for my gmail personal account.

I have found that HTC's exchange sync app really good, other people in the company have samsung androids or stock androids and have difficulties.
[Desire HD General] mjt:
I haven't found a way of getting hold of attachments in the Gmail app... You can only view attachments if it's a document type that Gmail can handle.

Hi...after i connected my tab to the computer the media scanner seemed to go crazy and won't stop running even after it finishes..it just goes over and over ..some help?(unrooted)
[Galaxy Tab General] Hanson68:
Every third or fourth reboot, the media scanner loops five or six times before finishing. I'm assuming there's some sort of corruption on the SD card that is causing this. I'll have to hook it up to a PC and run scandisk.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omersak:
having real problems here..

I Flashed harcores speedmod k12g on darkys 7.5 rom (great kernel and great ROM, may i add!) and lost USB connectivity to my PC - the phone just does not recognize that it's connected to a PC via USB - it merely charges as if it was connected to the wall charger. Even when connected in download mode, odin just remains blank!

Flashed a variety of roms and kernels, but the problem still exists.

Here's everything else i've tried:

- Full wipe/factory reset

- Turned on/off USB debug + reboot - still only charges, doesn't display that its connected via USB debugging

- Tried switching between all USB modes (KIES, media player, mass storage, ask on connection)

- Reinstalled KIES, USB driver

- Tried another cable

- Tried it on a friends PC - his SGS works on it but mine doesn't - only charges. Ditto when i tried odin on his PC

The thing is that if its a hardware defect, i can't flash it back to the original firmware and give it in for under warrantly because it doesn't show up on odin!

Everything else is working perfectly fine.. Currently running darkys 8.0 (wipe - had to transfer it via bluetooth. Took absolute ages)

suggestions please :(

UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED:

ref: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...stays-after-usb-disconnected.html#post2028045

The problem was indeed with the micro usb port on the phone - corrosion due to condensation, namely. i have a (bad) habit of using my phones as a music boom box while i take a shower (never again!). The steam from the hot water condensed in and corroded the contacts inside the phone. I then got an alcohol swab and carefully cleaned it out, and voila, it's now working as good as new!

thanks everyone for the replies!

You would need your original saved firmware or copy of the original not stock .

. Currently running darkys 8.0.

Dump that delete format and wipe everything undo lagfix etc .

install JM8 with 512 pit and repartition and see if its fixed .

Dont think its hardware more like rom **** up .

Have you looked at darkys bug reports/asked darky

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andreas_k:
How he can install jm8 without odin?

you need cwm backup of jm8 or another not modded firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omersak:
I've tried a full wipe and i've never used a lagfix with 2.2.1, and i would gladly install jm8 but, like i said, not even odin recognizes that i've connected the phone to the PC. The place where its supposed to be yellow remains blank, as if i havent connected anything :\

I asked around on darkys and hardcores threads and tried some suggestions, but it still didnt work!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omersak:
yeah, that'll do the trick.. but where can i find one?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omersak:
c'mon guys, there has to be something i can do to save my galaxy!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Have you tryed heimdal and try using those drivers?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
You know how to package a rom via update zip? Download from samfirmware the jm8, extract the factoryfs.rfs and put it in an update zip. Then upload to the sdcard and flash via cwm.

Only problem is any one going to create the update zip for you...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sebarkh:
I can make this for you if you still need it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omersak:
yes please! i'd be very grateful
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
You need to use magiciso to extract the files out from factoryfs.rfs. Refer to the video guide in the stickies over at the development section. Then use either jim panse's update script as reference to create your own update script. Need to be careful, cos there might be additional folders (example: /system/etc/init.d/) which your stock rom does not have, but in other customized rom it is included. Hope you understand what I'm saying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omersak:
update

UPDATE: the problem hasnt been fixed.. but today, when i came back to my phone after letting it charge with the wall charger, it was displaying the "connected to USB" screen.. while charging on the wall charger! :confused:

When i tried connecting it to my PC about a hundred times, it would still only charge without detecting that its been plugged in to a PC, but a couple of times a steering wheel and "car mode activated" would display in the notification bar.

Does this mean that it's definitely a hardware problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
I am facing the same issue. Tried lots of options ,but still not working.

Can anyone share the stock ROM, in update.zip (Ideally DDJP6, but any would do)?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
The link you've given is not working. Can you please provide the correct link?

So, your solution involves dismantling the phone and then applying alcohol or just apply from outside?

Also, my phone is getting detected as an unknown device in Windows XP machine with or without the Samsung USB driver installed . Was your phone doing that?

i didnt have to dismantle the phone.. just cleaned out the micro usb port on top of the phone. i got a really thin wire and wrapped an alcohol swab around it, and stuffed it inside the micro usb port to clean out its contacts.

And yes, before totally dying, my phone would get detected as an unknown device in windows.

good luck!

Hey all, just a quick problem I'm having with pandora. When I'm driving around listening to pandora it will randomly stop playing a song and I'll have to skip to the next song and it will play fine again. Anyone else have this problem?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] ApplCobbler:
I'm a bartender and I plug my phone into the sound system to play music for the whole bar when I'm working, and I often stream music. For a while, I used Pandora but it would stop like that and/or freeze up and I would have to force stop it in task manager and re open it, which takes at least a minute (and in bartending, is a lot of time not spent making money). It got to the point where Pandora would stop every 4th or 5th song. Mind you, this was the same whether I was on wifi or 3g. Anyhow, I switched to Slacker and it's been almost flawless. It also actually plays the ****ing artist that I create the radio station around. ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] punisher2008:
i also had this happening to me a while ago but it seems to be sparatic with my phone, lately it has been working great with wifi and 3g. It usually happens to me though when i am on a 3g network when i want to listen to something other than my ipod. Then other times i can be at school just sitting doing my hw while listening doing hw and it starts stopping on me. Unlike you though mine seemed to stop when the screen shutoff and i would have to press play again and as soon as i did that it would stop again. Think the problem was due to ATK but dont really know if that was true
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
screw pandora now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Tman42:
I have also switched to slacker in the last couple weeks and will never go back to pandora. You are correct in that you actually hear the artist you chose quite often.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nappent:
My wife and I notice that a lot when we are driving home from work listening to it via bluetooth. Every 3-4 songs it does that. In the middle of the day I never have a problem. I'm pretty sure their servers are likely just getting overwhelmed.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] DFieldFL:
Just chiming in to say I have the same problem. I only get a few songs then Pandora stops playing. Not sure if it has to do with the phone going to sleep. I have seen some posts about "Mobile Data Always On" option but I have yet to find that on the Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Overgloc:
No its pandora! I just downgrade to 1.3 and been fine since.

I really want to play with some of these various firmwares, but I want to be able to do a complete backup, including:

All of my SMS/MMS messages

All of my e-mail accounts, e-mails, and credentials

Wireless settings for various locations I have setup

All of my market apps (The caveat being that when I restore them, I don't have to acknowlege them one at a time like you do through Titanium, AND I want them to show back up in market once restored, so that market can check for updates regularly).

I think that is about it. Any help/suggestions.

Ok, here is the deal bitaches =):

We seen Darky (ROM maker) implement GOSMS in his ROM. It's really good application. You can quick reply and all of other sorts of stuff that stupid stock SMS can't do.

Problem that I examined A LOT is the followoing:

Firstly, you shut down all kinds of notifications of stock SMS app. That goes well. So you don't get two SMS alerts.

But one thing stays and it's ANNYOING. Herei is screenshot: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/3637/screenshotjm.png

Even if you read SMS with GO SMS this icon is still on main menu and it shows up SMS number that DOESEN'T EVEN EXIST. I mean, if you even delete SMS from GOSMS it's still there... it's ridicilous.

I tried to delete stock SMS app but then GO SMS lags (and every other SMS app that I tried, like 4 of them) and sometimes notification doesen't even pop up.

If I freeze stock SMS app that's like I deleted it so same ignorant stuff is happening. It's like magic circle you can't solve.

Anyone got solution how to have stock SMS app installed (so everything works properly) but in a way it doesen't pop up stupi number of SMS beside stock SMS icon?

Thanks.

Is that a hardware issue?

If it happens in Hboot also probably yes. Try a RUU and see if it solves it, if it does not send it back to HTC.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexasDroidGuy:
I am hoping someone can help me fairly quickly! I have Motorola Droid 1.

I rooted my Moto Droid easily (SuperOneClick), and decided to try this Charity ROM first. I saved and moved the zip to the root folder on my SD card. I used ROMManager and did the Clockwork Mod successfully. Then I used the ROMManager program to flash the new ROM. I wipes/cleared like the write-ups recommend. Everything went fine, got into recovery mode, loaded, etc etc. It said everything was successful. It went to reboot, and I read it would take 25-30 minutes to boot for the first time.

Here's the problem...it got past the "M" symbol but it's been in the boot sequence for well over 2 hours, back and forth to the "DROID" written that morphs from the red image. It just keeps doing that as if it is trying to boot.

Do I wait longer? Or do I need to do something else to get this thing booted?

Thanks in advance!
