I copy and paste an image from firefox into an Outlook email (tied to a different gmail account) and email it to my T-Mobile linked Gmail account. Then I go to the phone's Gmail app and open the email. The image does not show up, all I see is a box with a question mark in the middle. Some other pictured emails have a "show images" button but most of them dont and all I see is the tiny question mark in the blue square.
Has anyone else had this problem as well?
Yea this is one issue I would like them to fix... but no biggy they will get to it... it is google they fix all.
there is an issue with that. You can sync them via an exchange server. I copied and pasted them directly to the contact saved to your gmail homepage. Log into your gmail account and you will see them there. If they are not there export your outlook contact to a .csv file and upload them to your gmail account.

My fault misread the topic.
Does the image show up in gmail on your computer? Gmails shows Outlook HTML emails correctly but Outlook Rich Text Format emails are missing images.

Absolutely, because its not GOOGLE rendering Gmail, its my Firefox browser rendering it. The problem is with the rendering engine in the Gmail software, I dont think this is an easy fix for them, wont see a fix for a while.

Yea and what is up with the applications? Now we have apps for:
Youtube,
Gmail,
Facebook,
Myspace,
Everyone wants his own app, why cant they all work on a better brower than actually works? Look at Skyfire, its amazing on WM6 fast and smooth but needs a fast processor my wing is too slow.
Is Google going to fix this?
Does anyone have a solution?
I don't see too many people annoyed by this, don't you guys use gmail ? This should be front page of wall street journal!!

Sorry but whats 1.1? Is that an update released before cupcake?
1.1 is the new version for ADP the updates to 1.1 should be released in cupcake.
4 Months and the simple act of showing pictures has not been accomplished. Even Skyfire browser doesn't want to support the G1.
Its funny how Skyfire FULLY SUPPORTS flash while Adobe, Microsoft WindowsMobile, Apple/iPhone and Google/Andriod can not do it!
That which does not kill us only makes makes us stronger.

Personally never once had a working flash movie in skyfire.
But I do know that the way skyfire works is by taking pictures of webpages then sending those pics to your phone. It is complicated stuff and requires a lot of resources on both ends.
On my slow as hell HTC Herald/WING, I used Skyfire and watched YouTube nice and smooth. Now WING/Herald is 200Mhz, Dream is 500+Mhz
What is the big deal about flash?
And going back to the original post on this thread, are we ever going to see images in emails in the Gmail app? How come showing images in email, which is something the browser already does, is so difficult?
Sorry to bump up an old topic, but has anyone found a fix to this?
I am currently running JF1.5 and still see these blue squares in my emails where "inline" images would be. Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

It really sounds like the problem is with certain clients, not the gmail reader.. Missing images when sent from Outlook? Hardly surprising, Outlook sends poorly formatted email.
I see inline images in the gmail client - emails from ebay, from various webmail clients, from a few companies (newsletters, etc). Check with the sender, see what they're using. See if they have an option to send plain HTML emails.
Not only the gmail app, mail and k9 also
Not only the gmail app, mail and k9 also show a small blue square with an ? in it.
Does anyone else find it a little strange that on a google phone that the standard email app allows you to pinch and zoom in emails, but the gmail app (or the mobile site for that matter) don't?! If I get an email with a large embedded image there seems to be no way to do this.
On a separate note, why has the third swype page with the cursor arrows gone? That was really useful when you're trying to navigate through text?

I agree they never allow gmail application to zoom i don't understand why !
the built in email app is just a stripped down version of k9mail which has more features.. recommend you try it.
May I add that it's frustrating that you cannot copy/paste text from the Gmail app?
It seems to me that some of the stock Google applications like the browser and gmail are left very vanilla - maybe, in the belief that 3rd party apps will fill the gap - maybe, that will be some of what they will be working on for Gingerbread (since they are claiming it will have a focus on user experience).

Just quick question
Does the K9 Mail app allow for multiple Signatures for the different emails.
Currently the Samsung Email only allows one signature for all accounts which is a step back from my Blackberry.
This multiple-app thing is exactly why the iPhone does so well...
It's not a positive when you've got two programs that do the same thing out of the box.
I realize Google doesn't have much control over this, and even if they improved their stuff that Samsung/ATT/etc would probably put all their crap on it regardless. I'm just saying there's an advantage to the iPhone found here.
O.k. I'm slow, I just noticed that the Gmail client on the Vibrant does not display HTML emails? What's up with that? Anybody else notice this?
I have installed a lagfix, I'm rooted, have stock rom, new system font and some freshy fresh icons... I also wipe my screen daily
I'm just confused and need a friend.
It does display html, but not images by default. There's a button at the top of the message to download the images and display then.
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 guys, I've searched but can't find the answer related to CM7 on the atrix. I desperately need to search my exchange/corporate emails in CM7. I am running the current beta on the Atrix. I love the rom but the lack of email search capability is really killing it for me. I can live without the fingerprint scanner but can't live without email search. Am I missing something or is this a feature that is lacking from the mail that is included in the Atrix CM7 build? Thanks.
It's not included in stock email. I had the same problem and my solution was to use Business Calendar. It blows away the stock calendar and I pair it with Pure Calendar Widget to have a 4x2 scrollable calendar widget on my homepage. Other advantages are better viewing options and a more simple way to add events, much more intuitive.
