Email.apk - Xperia Arc General

Can someone please post the email.apk from .184?
I've deleted mine and replaced it with the unbranded version (EAS did not work with SE branded) and would now like to go back, and take a stab at sorting the issue on the SE file.

I don't have your requested file but did you try to set right permission for the email.apk? I installed the modded from 2.2 and it worked with no problem. Could you share your file?

It wasn't a permissions issue, I think it is something to do with handling ssl or certificates. Can't remember the precise problem, but SE would not allow me to connect to Exchange server and CM7 would.
I used the apk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
I hear that the email application on branded (eg Orange) handsets is slightly different and supports push, can anyone share/confirm?

When my phone was still Orange branded, the email application support push email on my Hotmail account. Now on the unbranded .184 software, it only works as pop3, and not very well at that. Doesn't delete emails from the phone when I delete them in webmail, etc. Load of pish. Would rather have kept Orange branded software!!!

I've seen the email app on a phone in an Orange shop and it's completely different, we really need to get our hands on this.
Anyone on a branded fw, report in here please.

Yeah its rubbish at deleting emails from the server, and cant detect that you have deleted them and keeps showing them.
Have you tried any alternatives to this one ?
Saying that, the orange branded email app, from what i saw of it, did look good.

I've tried k9, but that doesn't have EAS and drains the battery rather quickly for imap.
The orange fw also supports their "HD Voice", and it would be nice to have an adb pull of this.

Yeah its a shame from orange as the rest of the software that came with the phone was really bad so i over looked it and flashed the global rom as soon as i could, first day in i got it in fact.

Called Orange today and said that all the Orange software had gone after I had to reinstall from SE website. They are sending me a new handset tomorrow!! So hopefully have the proper email app soon. Then see how we go about extracting it!

Good to hear. I thought I was being so clever by tracking down an unbranded handset...

Yeah see if you can pull that little baby from the system/app
Id like to give it another try

Once I have checked its ok, I will see if I can figure out how to extract it. Might need some help if I can't figure it out!

Should be as easy as copying it from the system/app to your SD card,
Might need to be re-signed, but it should work,
Unless it depends on another app to work, then it will need more looking at.

Got the phone about 20 minutes ago. Can confirm I now have the proper Orange Email app back, and excellent it is too. Will try and extract it when I get home and post it to see if someone else can get it working too.

Great. Do you have the sdk installed? If so, a full rip of the firmware would be nice.
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk

There is an app called com.orange.pushmail.z7. Presume that's the one that is the modified email app.
Don't have the SDK installed. Is that what I need to do full rip of the firmware?? No idea how to do that.
Cheers
Dazza

For now, just copy across /system/app/ with Astro to the sd. 7z is an archive type, so not sure what is in that.
Edit: misread, z7 is just part of the name. Are there any other branded apps? what firmware version is it running?

Firmware is - 3.0.A.2.184
Other Orange apps are :
Orange App Shop
Orange Homescreen
Orange Home Selector
Orange Live Wallpaper
Orange Maps
Orange Phone Backup
Orange VIP Contact
Orange Clock Widget
Orange TV
Your Orange
Email one is the only I'm bothered about though!!

Microsoft MyPhone Premium features not working?

Hi,
I've been trying to get the MyPhone premium features trial (locate lost phone/remote ring etc.) to work on the HD2 and to set this up the service needs to send 12 silent messages to the phone. This worked on my old Polaris just fine but on the HD2 it fails to recieve these 12 messages and therfeore the service cant be used.
Does anyone else have this problem???
Thanks
Just gave it a go - same problem - FYI I'm on Vodafone..
Have you guy's updated your ROM to the newest version? Maybe HTC has fixed it... I don't know, but it's worth a try.
I've not flashed yet, due to the O2 branded ROM, might try the goldcard method on the weekend.
Anyone with the newer ROM care to try the free premium features trial and report back
Thanks

Hd2 my phone premium features dont work
I have a HD2 which i bought sim free which Im using on the Orange UK 3G network.
I've also noticed that the premium features on ms_myphone dont work with the HD2.
Along with everyone else, I get the message that the phone cannot be contacted.
As soon as the ROM is officially announced on the website of HTC: Report this issue. Maybe they fix it soon then...

TBH don't see the point in waiting until ROM is officially announced, after all it doesn't work in the current ROM neither! So reporting it as "not working" now just means they can't come back with a "this feature is supported in a forthcoming ROM" (or if they do then we'll know they are talking about something coming later in the pipeline than 1.48!).
I think the more people that report it the better; especially as the whole MS MyPhone feature doesn't seem to have had all that much marketing (at least the here in the UK) therefore the might not immediately be that many people complaining about it.
Just my opinion
Don't know if it's relevant, but having run MyPnone on the original ROM I was (as is standard) asked to download an update to the application. I did this and all was well until today when I was asked to download another update, which I have also done.
Why not see if there is any way to force this update - it may be a bugfix?

No, still doesn't work with my SIM free HD2 on Orange UK- "The ring/ lock request couldn't be sent due to a problem with our service"

Semi-relevent but sadly not a fix..
The 'updated' version of the MyPhone app contains the code for the 'Premium' service to work, however these in turn have to then be supported by the phone itself. FYI. Turns out what it does is constantly monitor your incoming txt messages for and intercepts specially formatted ones from the MS server instructing it to do something (ie. for the MyPhone app to launch and connect back to base, turn ringer to full and ring, acquire GPS fix, etc etc). I'd hazard a guess it is the HTC Sence txt messaging service which is preventing this service from working - after all it is known already not to play nice with the txt message notification queue and instead hog it to itself.
So in summary: without the update you'd have no chance of the location element of the Premium Services working, with it you still need support from your handset and it would seem up to ROM 1.48 at least we have sadly confirmed not to have this with the HD2 at this stage. A fix needs to come from either HTC or Microsoft (further updated to MyPhone app), or quite possibly both.
There's a relevant thread over at the MyPhone forum that I tried to add to http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MyPhone/thread/57659d5c-2077-4387-9bda-92643e17cab7
not had a reply yet, maybe we need a new thread over there?
i think it must be the HTC messaging app ... has anyone install back the old windows message app, and try the myphone Premium features again?
Im going to bump this thread now that custom ROMS are out there and ask
Is anyone with the htc messaging removed able to set up the premium features of MyPhone?
How do you disable HTC messaging....?
Can you fully disable senseUI ?
On a stock rom....
Serriously, your telling me that no one cares about locating their lost phone, remote wiping etc!
but threads like oh god I bought the wrong phone get a responce
Any luck with a 1.66 ROM?

If you are looking for find my phone style software, forget the myphone premium, go look at Remotetracker. Free, and superb. Stuffed with tons of features. TXT your phone, it will call you back with the microphone open, another command will text you gps coordinates and a link to the position on google maps, another commands will start the gps, make a 5 minute track log and then text it to you in google earth compatible format,, send popup messages to teh phone, get it to send you all your contacts, get it to wipe the SD card, the list is endless.
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/
remotetracker is good but I would prefer to be able to use a website to contact my phone rather than having to send a text to it. also being able to ring the phone etc and view it on a map

Optus Usage Widget

The actual app from Optus works a treat, but the widget just says "There was an error displaying your usage". Anyone else having trouble with it?
Same problem here. Nfi how to fix.
No luck here either.
If it actually worked, took up less space on the screen (maybe 4 icon spots or less instead of 8!!!), and usage was updated more regularly (delayed up to 24hrs tsch...) then it would be perfect.
But alas, it fails. Still, I keep the app on my homescreen.
Not sure what issues you guys are having, im running Version 1.0(1) and it works fine!
do you know by any chance the link to download this app?

No worries.
Sorry I wasn't quite clear in my wording...
I meant I dumped the optus app before I upgraded firmware.
I flashed to JFB, then JFF, then JG1. I can't notice many improvements... In fact my phone is a bit more laggy at JG1 (but I have more apps installed so I presume it's that).
I would flash to JG3 but... I don't wanna have to restore all my settings and data again... (done it about 5 times).
I wouldn't mind having a copy of original AUS firmware for safety reasons... or at least the CSC (contains all the carrier specific info).
It's doing the same thing for me. Curses.
ahh common problem I see. wonder how this stuff is logged...

Hey guys, quick 2 Optus-related questions. Switched from 3 to them when I bought my Galaxy S yesterday.
1) How can you find out your account number? I've registered a username and password for using the My Account app, but it wants an Account Number that it states will be on my bill, the first of which I obviously won't be receiving for a while...
2) Is there a backup of the stock Optus firmware (JF3) including all the pre-loaded apps just in case any of us ever need to return the phone under warranty to load it back to its factory settings and firmware?
Cheers!
1) It's annoying you don't get it when you first sign up, but it's written on your first bill (pro-rata which is only a few days).
Apparently you can also call up optus and get it off customer service, however I didn't know this so I just waited.
2) No there isn't a proper flashable dump, unfortunately. If you do decide to flash your firmware (it's worth it if you can't wait for official updates.. which are very slow).

Aha, found them thanks to the awesomeness of Ausdroid!

^ use those to find the APNs for all aussie networks once you've flashed a new firmware. Make sure you have wifi turned off when you enter the info, and once the settings are in press menu -> save and within a few seconds the 3G icon in the notification bar appeared.

Samsung Task Manager 1.5.1 available via Samsung Apps

Version 1.5.1 now available. It seems to be the same as version 1.5 that came out a couple of weeks back, except this version doesn't revert back to version 1 when you restart the phone - so a pretty fundamental improvement there.
thx for the news .. i'm happy i didnt got that prob from the begining
Oh yeah. Thanks for the news. Why did convert in the first place?

wtf permissions?
I was going to install the 1.5.1 release from the Samsung app store, but finally held back: The permissions it's asking for are not quite to my liking.
This app requires each and every permission there is, e.g. change UI settings, send SMS and MMS, make telephone calls, read emails, change APN settings, change global system settings...
Did all of you ignore this, or were you shown other permission requests?

Noticed that as well, but it's the first update I installed for the Task Manager. I assumed it already had those permissions, and decided to trust Samsung. Some might argue it's not such a good idea
There are more apps in the Samsung store that require odd permissions and I just called Samsung Mobile Germany to ask the supporters why this is.
Not that I expected anything else, but what I was told is just wrong.
I was told the following:
- These applications are from Google (i.e. programmed by Google)
- These permissions are set in Google accounts
- this is no risk as the applications for 100% sure won't make calls or send SMS / MMS
This is so poor as a support answer... And a really poor programming style as well, 'cause it contradicts the idea that programmers should only require those permissions in their manifest that are acually needed.
Not gonna install that crap anyway. What if Samsungs servers are hacked and distributing modified versions of these applications? They're not gonna pay my excessive cellphone bill, should this be true, aren't they?

I found the problem with the Support.
The problem is a incorrect User Agent in the default Android Browser.
When you surf with your xoom on http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ you must have something like :
Code:
Your User Agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.2; YY*-XX*; MZ601 Build/HTJ85B) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13

VZW call+SMS filter app from Nokia will not install

As many already know the call+SMS filter does not block calls if your using the 928 on Verizons network, yet it works fine if you put it on another carrier.
I found this version of it at the Store - call+SMS filter ver. 1.5.4.2 - But can't get it to install, even on a dev unlocked phone. When I run XapDeploy it comes up with Invalid XAP file.
Could someone help me get this installed?
I'm thinking, possibly the one that VZW has installed on the phone is the reason the filter doesn't work properly.
Also is there a way to check what the version numbers are of the apps installed?
Thanks

Xap files downloaded from the store to a PC are encrypted and can only be installed from an sd card on supported devices. Also, in the one instance that I had to use this app on my Lumia 928 it worked just fine. If the app in the store is compatible with your device just install it from the store. You can uninstall the current app from settings by setting the date on your phone to 100 years in advance (2113) and opening the call/sms filter app. It should give an error with the option to uninstall. Don't forget to change the date back to current or you will have issues.
By the way the store version is the same as installed.

Don't do that !!!!!
I did it and now I can't install this feature. Anyway - this option is added with "extras+info" from your link I can't install too. I think, that only "hard reset" repair it.
Here's what you have to do, get the updated extras+info app. Open it, and click on More Info, wait a few seconds (like 5) close the app and you should see calls+sms filter in the Settings menu. If it isn't there, try that process again. It only works for Lumias with the Amber Update.
THX, but I have Amber and I have newest extras+info version (1.12.0.1). When I opened that and I wait 5, 10, 15, 60 sec call+sms filter don't show in the settings. In the first time (when I flashed Amber - august 5) I had calls+sms filter, but about 10 days he was broken. Now I haven't that option and I can't install that.

And how do you know this? How can you check the version that is installed?

Wish I had known that before I flashed my phone... lol
Now that I've flashed it, the Amber update one come down to it :/
UPDATE: Just read that someone had spoken to VZW and Nokia, the Amber update for the 928 on VZW has been put on hold until end of Sept.
Anyone have the Amber update files for the 928?

Thank you tonbonz, I never even thought that.
Now I'm stuck with a non-Amber phone until VZW decides to release the updated version of it.
But I did manage to get the update files for the Black version(I have a White one) from Nokia, and I'm so tempted to fire up NCS to get Amber back,, lol

No prob... I thought Amber was already pushed to the 928? I used NCS. Pretty sure there are links to the files for the white version somewhere in the WP8 hacking forums. Ahhh here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300865&page=2

Terrific! Thanks yet again!!
It did go OTA the other week. But they put a hold on it. Sounds like they are updating it, I guess bug fixes. There was a couple people on another forum that got replacement phones and didn't have Amber on them and no updates available when checking on the phone. So they contacted VZW and Nokia and where informed of this Amber 'hold' but should be getting it soon, most people should have it by the end of September.
I was messing with NCS today and flashed what I just got and it's definitely not Amber.
Has anyone done a hard reset to see if they can get the call+sms filter working on VZW? I have been trying to get an answer out of Nokia and VZW on this and all I get is "do a factory reset". They also claim I am the only one they know of having this issue (yet I sent links to a few forums, including Nokia's own where there is a thread on this).
extras+info just updated their app today. I would download that and try it again.

If that doesn't work, try a hard reset, update the extras+info and then try that.
Got Amber back on the phone and the updated Extras+Info. But the call+SMS filter wasn't updated yet. So still a no go blocking calls with it on Verizons network.
