I seem to have a problem with my signature not appearing when using Email 2.3.
My common practice when I want to create an email is to first select the recipients address from my contacts folder which then prompts for whether I want to use Gmail or Email. If I select Gmail, everything works correctly with my signature appearing in the text field of the message. If I do the same thing but select Email instead of Gmail, no signature appears in the text area when the Email app opens. If I open the Email app directly and go to compose, the signature appears as it should in the text field.
This problem occurred after moving from FR008 to CM7 and has persisted since I installed the first CM7 build.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sent from my Aria CM7_2.3.2 build-21
Can anyone running CM7 + Email 2.3 reproduce this problem, or is it just me?
Thanks
so you were using the htc mail program? i'm not sure if there is an inherent difference between the htc email and the email 2.3 in cm7. try a 3rd party email program perhaps and see if the problem persists?
Email 2.3 is the Gingerbread email app. I'm simply trying to confirm whether or not this is a known problem related to this new version.
I don't have a high enough post count yet to post in the development section, or I would have done so.
I am also using the Email 2.3 app, if you hit menu -> Account Settings -> signature. it should work. signature is the third button down in the account settings menu
Hey guys,
Just got my SGS2 last week and have spent the last for days exploring and familiarizing myself with it.
I must say i am so far impressed and disappointed... i previously had a HTC Desire and there are a few things the Desire could do that the SGS2 cannot.
I figured we might as well start listing some things that the SGS2 cannot do, but you feel it should be able to do (with possible solutions if any).
so ill get it started...
1. Default Email Client - should be able to set update frequency by time of day.
The HTC mail app on my Desire had a setting where i could set the send/receive frequency depending on the time of day. For instance... between 8.00AM and 8.00PM i could have it update hourly, and between 8.00PM and 8.00AM it would update every 4 hours. The email setup is use is POP3 with Hotmail.
Solution: Setup hotmail (and other webmail providers?) as an exchange account. This will allow you greater control over your email client and its settings (include advanced update scheduling, folders, max email size, etc. I used this guide here.
2. Default Email Client - Be able to forward emails with attachments and the email trail. Seems to be a bug with the stock email app that makes this impossible.
Tested with the default email client on the SGS2 (hotmail with POP3), the attachments will not forward completely, only a portion of the attached file will forward and it will be corrupt when received, cannot open on receiving end. Also tested setting up hotmail as an exchange account, and the app will hang on the "fetching attachment" screen. A second attempt forwarding attachments with an exchange account was successful.
Solution: Setup email as an exchange account (see above) or use 3rd party app - Suggestions on which apps?
3. TouchWiz - Show the default number of 8 apps (rather than 6) in the recent apps list (accessible by long-pressing the Home key)
Solution: Root and install the mod or flash the appropriate ROM that has this feature. CyanogenMod is one.
4. Default Web Browser - Hide the notification bar in the Browser app.
Solution: 3rd party app - Dolphin Browser HD can do this in its 'fullscreen' mode - any suggestions on other apps?
5. Default Web Browser - Have real text reflow on any zoom level in the Browser app. (Like HTCs)
Solution: 3rd party app - Opera Mobile, Boat Browser and Boat Browser Mini have the ability to reflow on a variety of zoom levels by using the onscreen zoom buttons.
6. CRT screen-off animation.
Solution: Root and install the mod or flash the appropriate ROM that has this feature.
7. System/Power management - Better power management when wifi is 24/7 enabled with IM applications, The S1 could last for a close to 1.5 days with that setup the S2 barely lasts 20hrs due to the AOS bug... Iphone3GS/4 can last as high as 3days.
8. System/Network Capabilities - No Near Field Communication (NFC)?
Solution: The SGS2 supports NFC depending on which version of the phone you have. NFC is enabled on some versions, and not on others. Source Source Source
9. System/Notification Settings - There are no repeat audible notifications for missed called and messages.
Solution: 3rd party app - Vibration Notifier, GO SMS Pro
10. System/Notification Settings - Privacy settings in the notification bar. Why can't I turn off the displaying of message content in the notification bar?
Solution: Use Go SMS Pro. You can set that to just say "New Message", instead of showing the content. Go SMS Pro > Settings > Notification Settings > Default Notification Settings > Notification Bar Privacy Mode.
11. System/Connectivity - bluetooth support (proper) so we can use bluetooth controllers like the ps3 and wii one.
Solution: Root and install the mod or flash the appropriate ROM that has this feature.
12. System/Connectivity - Reverse Tether.
Some HTCs ( Desire HD, Sensation) and other devices have reverse tether via USB - feature seems to be missing on SGS2.
13. Application Range - Ability to install some stock Android Apps.
14. System/Notification Settings/TouchWiz - Ability to dismiss notifications individually.
CyanogenMod had this ability by simply swiping them horizontally.
Solution: Root and install the mod or flash the appropriate ROM that has this feature.
15. Advanced IPSEC VPNs - For whatever reason, Samsung did not include this functionality with their 2.3.x FW.
As a result, VPN compatibility is very limited without hacking.
16. Contacts App - Display cropped version of profile picture for contacts when assigned through contact link/sync.
Not sure how to describe this one... HTCs Contacts App would crop a contact photo to suit its app's square frame (maintaining photo's proportions/aspect ratio). Samsung's contacts app will squash the photo to suit the square frame (distorting photo's proportions). Go Contacts will shrink a contact photo to suit the square frame (maintaining photo's proportions/aspect ratio). I would like the Samsung and Go Contacts apps to display their contact photos like the HTCs do. I have attached an image to try and explain my issue.
List is a work in progress - i will continue to build the list and add to it any suggestions anyone has. Also, i will not be able to test all the solutions i post, and many of the comments/solutions will be simply copied and pasted from your posts. So please feel free to test and make any corrections to the problem/solution list.
Hopefully this will help any users with their transitions from their old devices to the SGS2.
I welcome all input, thanks guys.

You can set the update frequency time for the Email app. You just need to go to Settings -> Accounts -> "Exchange" or "Pop3" account -> Account Settings.
Granted that I am using Exchange so I am not too sure if that works for Pop but I think if the setting is there, it should also work for Pop3 account.
I am on KG5 so I am not sure if that is a new feature or not as I can't remember with the older version. I was using Moxier Mail previously which allows you to do that as well.

I have forwarded emails with attachments pleanty of times on the stock email app (note, not the GMail app).
Text reflow can be enabled in the stock browser.
I agree with the stock rom having the CRT animation.
So far the only 'fault' I can find is I wish the speaker was placed somewhere better, where it isn't so easy to cover.

Open up account settings in the email app and go to Sync schedule, there you can set the peak and off-peak schedule at the top, i use this feature and it works great
Hi
I am not too sure but I am able to set peak and off-peak schedule. So my current sync is push during peak hour and 15 minutes sync during off peak. You can also set the time which is peak and off peak.
If you need more fine grain control over it, I didn't know HTC can do it. I got a htc sensation at home maybe I can try with that.

Ah I completely agree, I tend to accidently cover the speaker a lot in landscape position during vid watching or gaming.. and the mic position isn't great, have taken a few videos where I've covered it and sound becomes muffled

For the browser:
Go to the Browser->Settings->Auto-fit pages. Check the box and it will automatically re-flow the page.
For the email:
I am not sure if it works for Hotmail as I am using Exchange. Can you go into Accounts-> Hotmail -> Accounts Settings -> Schedule Sync? If not, I guess that's the limitation of it and that it only works for Exchange.
i want the stock rom has the crt off screen animation

Complete BS. If you don't know what proper reflow means please don't give these kinds of advice. The stock browser does NOT reflow. It only has a two-step zoom level, that is it.
There is no way to zoom to a specific value you want after which the text will reflow. Only (some) user-installable browsers do this the way it is supposed to work.

Use safari on the iphone/ipad, thats reflow.. theres a difference between that and auto fit.
NFS & a slightly higher res screen is something i wish it had, but it does not matter too much.
My input to missing featutes
There are no repeat audible notifications for missed called and messages...I have to use a clunky app for this basic functionality.
Privacy settings in the notification bar - why can't I turn off the displaying of message content in the notification bar?

Er.. I think you should check a little before you rant at someone. You're both wrong (and right).
Yes, you can only double tap to zoom in and out for text reflow to work. However, there are 3 different levels of zoom, which can get selected via the settings.
Whilst this is not as useful as text reflow with pinch-to-zoom, it is still a lot more effective than you suggest.

Hi everyone.
I am a new owner of the SGN3 and i am very pleased with the device.
However i have an issue regarding the native emai app on touchwiz coz it doesnt filter the spams emails
Does anyone knows how to prevent the spams for showing up in the email app ? (I have tried settings up a filter for any email having the world bulk in the object,it does regroup them but i can't assign a default behavior like erase automaticly etc) I halso saw there is an option to add emails adresses and domain known to be spams but it would take hours if i wanted to entered them manually
Thanks in advance
I like the stock email client on my Galaxy S5 SM-G900A (AT&T), but when I mail a hyperlink, it arrives as plain text on any computer except my mobile device, from which the mail was sent.
Installing AquaMail fixed the problem, but this app offers everything but colored font that is useful when replying to mail.
So I'm thinking the stock email client got corrupted. Samsung's Smart Switch ssoftware does not support update or download of the stock email app. I see sites offering the particular app but also requiring access to my contacts list. Any suggestions?
