[Q] Queries regarding Gmail App!! - Galaxy 3 General

I have Samsung Galaxy 3 with stock android 2.1
I have 3 queries regarding gmail app:
1) can we delete specific mail from conversation in gmail app?
2) is there an way to copy/paste text in gmail app while replying to any mail?
3) I am having trouble adding another gmail account to gmail app. Whenever I try that, it gives an error message:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care"
I checked that I am able to surf internet at that time and there is no problem with GPRS. Also, I have tried this almost 20 times and this issue is happening everytime, that is why I am writing here.
Is there any solution to this?

There are 200 views for this post...even then there is not a single response to this thread..is this such a difficult query?
still no responses to this after 247 views?

As I don't use Android I won't be able to help you much, but the error message you are getting has nothing to with your phone. You must get in touch with Airtel in order to to get the correct data plan - remember Gmail and Microsoft exchange are different services - Gmail inboxes can be defined free and you can send and recieve with the data charges.
But push mail is a separate service for which you need to pay and chose a separate data plan.
I suggest you talk it with Airtel.
AFAIK you should be able to delete conversations, can't say much more.

I think I need to contact dev of GMail app in this case for other queries other than error message...can you point me to the correct direction here?

Account problems

Hi!
I just recently moved all my contacts and calendar to my gmail account, and it worked fine for a couple of days. It then started with that I was unable to create Google contacts (only SIM and Phone was available). I checked the data synchronization, which said that there was some error with the contacts synchronization. Then I followed some advice on the Internet about clearing the data on the "Google Apps" application, to be able to try to sign in to Google once again. But now I'm stuck. I cannot sign in, which means I cannot use market, and my calendar and contacts are unavailable. When I try to sign in with my Google account I get this message (after a minute or so):
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. If this continues, call Customer Care".
I've tried with both WLAN and over the mobile data net (Which both works in the browser, and in maps etc.).
Anyone has an idea which does not involve a hard reset?
Thanks!
i hope someone else does, but AFAIK, there is no solution that does not involve a hard reset.....
Hmm.. Strange. I did not skip the initial registration when i bought the phone, and the account have never struggled before, so I wanted to re-sign in, and this seemed to be the only way.
it's a bit of a bug unfortunately.
On the hero, the sign in only seems to work in the initial set up.
if you skip it or if you do the clear storage later on like you have, it seems to lose it's ability to link to the google servers correctly and you get that message. I don;t know of a way round it, but i hope that someone else does...
Yeah, I really hope so. It seems a little stupid to have to wipe the phone completely every time Google decides that they don't want to synchronize with my gmail account anymore...
Is there anyone else who has an idea?

Mail - I want to be able turn/on new messages

I've found the built-in app a bit lacking, and I really want to do is do be able to turn off and off the receiving of new messages - something that iPhone users can do by default. If I go out, I should be able to receive new mail - or not. It's my choice. Is there a mail client app to do this? I've added my email details, but it seems the only way stopping the receipt of emails is my the delete the whole account, and I'm not delete/re-setting my account all the time!

you can just turn off the internet !!!!
or there is a setting for manual update only
in settings, sync, disable automatic sync for gmail
You could use Setting Profiles or Tasker to do this. EDIT: there is also a Setting Profiles Lite
just set it to manual update, therefore so long as you dont open them ail client, it wont refresh?

Has anyone else not been able to sync with gmail?

the AM I flashed eugene's Vibrant9 rom. I had to register the phone with my google act. I can sync all but gmail. I can access all google apps online except gmail, when I try to access gmail online I get this message:
Account Lockdown: Unusual Activity Detected
This account has been locked down due to unusual account activity. It may take up to 24 hours for you to regain access.
Unusual account activity includes, but is not limited to:
1. Receiving, deleting, or downloading large amounts of mail via POP in a short period of time.
2. Sending a large number of undeliverable messages (messages that bounce back).
3. Using file-sharing or file-storage software, browser extensions, or third party software that automatically logs in to your account.
4. Leaving multiple instances of your Gmail account open.
5. Browser-related issues. Please note that if you find your browser continually reloading while attempting to access your Inbox, it’s probably a browser issue, and it may be necessary to clear your browser’s cache and cookies.

I have changed my google PW. At this point I just don't know what it could be, is anyone else having gmail sync issues? I guess it could be an issue with the rom but noone else is having that problem over in the Dev section.

Help!My Gtalk can't receive any message.

I just installed gtalk on my wife's iP4,and it turned out that could receive message from my gtalk on atrix, but mine could not receive any message from the iP4. Can someone help me?
Yeah, you should give her your google account username
I've given her my account name, and nothing's wrong with that account name.
Honestly I would drop gtalk and try pingchat. My wife has a BB and when we tried to use gtalk a month ago sometimes we would send messages that the other person never received. It caused some headaches (I missed a message with the grocery list). With pingchat there's the sent/received confirmation indicators. Gtalk does not have it.
check any computers that you have google logged into. I've noticed that if i start replying on a computer, messages stop going to my phone. But the first message always makes it to all devices.
Quite simple, Google Talk uses an other implementation on android devices (variant of XMPP). Therefore, you should be able to communicate with Google Talk to/from your phone to/from a browser, but when using other Google Talk clients that rely on pure XMPP protocol, it doesn't work.
So as said before, use an other IM then the default Google Talk.

I noticed this too, however I still do not receive messages sometimes even when I log off google on my computer.
thx guys i really appreciate ur help. now i just change to IM+. and u know these days it's hard to use google service in china, it sux really.
the most weird part was, when i started to use another computer client to send a message, my gtalk on phone can receive that message. but when i came back to GTalkPlus on the iP4, it failed. so ,it's all about the iP4 client?
We saw the same behavior on my Atrix and my wife's BB 9000, so it's not just IP4.

Yahoo email "authentication failed"

I have 2 yahoo accounts, I use the stock email app because I have comcast and work email that utilize that app as well. One of my yahoo accounts worked fine, no issues setting it up, the other I am getting an "authentication failed" message. Anyone else get that? Any thoughts as to how to resolve it?
Thanks
You can go yahoo support center. or again send authentication mail.. And please tell me, did you set up recovery mail when you create account?
This is what I did when everything else failed.
Try to remove the sim in your current (faulty) phone and use a similar phone's SIM - if you have a friend whose emails are ALL correctly setup on his/her phone, ask to use his/her SIM. Make sure other phone (and SIM) have successfully setup all emails. Power down the 2 phones, use the good SIM to setup email on your (faulty) phone. Then change back the sim and you should be good.....
