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.

only solution thus far is to log in to your gmail account via browser (NOT the default gmail application/icon) im sure they will fix this soon tho...

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!!

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!

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.
So I'm trying to add a new google account to my phone under settings/accounts and sync. I enter all the details but after about a minute it tells me there is a error with the data connection.
I have tried this with three different galaxy s's on both wifi and 3g...no luck on any of them.
Are the google servers down or is it something else??
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Ive had the same problem for the past 2 days : /
how about other accounts like Facebook & Tweeter? Is this the first time you're adding an account or there was a previous account that you deleted?
this was reported before
it's a bug, it only happens if you install the Samsung Push mail & IM add on
(...delete...)
there's a workaround by adding a youtube account which is linked to a google one, then it shows up in accounts and sync

I deffinately havn't installed the samsung push mail & IM add on, however i still have this issue. I can't really do the settings fix anyway, as i dont want to risk root without 3BR.
Hello I just switched from HTC Desire (very good phone) to the SGSII (Better)...
And i am quite happy with my desicion. I have only two things that are a problem right now.
1. I am missing the Sense Mail widgets.
2. GPS Inaccuracy.
So my questions are:
1. Mail widget...
I am looking for a mail widget that binds to a specific account. So i have 4 email accounts and i want to bind the widget to one of them.
So if I want to use all mail accounts I will have to place 4 widgeds and configure them for each maill account. And preferebly they should show the subject.
2. GPS inaccuracy in Navigon
I was driving a road and where my desire had pinpoint accuracy, the Sammy thought I was about 60 meters to the right, and started to bark all kind of instructions to get back to the road (where i already was on)....
So anybody can help me? (Need mail widget the most) the widgets from launcher pro are what i need but I wat to jump to the correct mail client (that shows the message as it should be) Launcher pro has it's own mail renderere and that's not what i want.
The GPS in SGS2 works very well for me, so that is not a general issue.
But maybe the circumstances were bad at the time, you can only compare with Desire if you had it with you at at the same time, because satellites are moving and weather is changing etc.
Did you have big buildings close to the roads? That can cause disturbances.
Do you have A-GPS enabled? (enable "use wireless networks" in Location settings menu).
Can you explain why you would not want to push all your different email accounts from where-ever to one Gmail account and only use that one?! There should be plenty of gmail widgets on the market.

1. Hotmail is my privat email.
2. Exchange is corporate with required pin
3. Gmail = rubbish mail....
So I only want to be notified when I receive a Private or corporate mail....
and if i look, i want to see private or corporate depending on what I am doing.
Maybe I am a bit old, but i don't want a unified inbox. I want it organized as it was on my HTC.
I could do thi son my HTC without rooting and it worked like a charm....
I Really like the speed and screen of the SGII but i really do miss my Sense widgets...
I have spend a lot of money in the appstore opnly to get this functionality, I tried a lot, Pure Messenger widget and everything... Needed root, but could not read my exchange mail, uninstall and find the mail app broken, had to flash (now on KG2)
But a HTC has this functionality out of the box with no extra charge.....
How is Gmail rubbish when you can have all those corporate mail and hotmail and whatnot in there and they are not unified but you can access them separately via the gmail app? To me it seems that you are just stuck to 90's
Edit *i have my own business mail account there (own domain), my second work (work for another company) mail there (2 domains) and my personal gmail there. I also have multiple different email addresses from my own business there unified for a seperate account. All organised and working like a ****ing BOSS!

Well are you telling me that it is possible to have google sync with exchange and get contacts mail, calender and all the good stuff and not have the lockstreen policy ?
I am not old fashioned, but I use hotmail for mail and google for searches.....
No need to give them all info......
But..... If it is possible to have google read my Excahnge account so i do not have that dumb policy enforced on my pone i would consider a switch.
And i guess you are telling me it's possible ?......

There is an app called touchdown for exchange mail, works pretty well and you won't be enforced to set a pin to the lock screen. You just need to set a pin to open the app.

Well........
Do i get my contacts, my calender and stuff also in g-calender, i have been looking a bit and i see no way to get an automated sync between our corporate Exchange Server and Gmail.....
Not everything is as simple as you think.... Oh wait..... for you it probably is..... (but that's probably due to a lack of processing power.....)
If I would give you 1% of my thoughts your brain would probably overload....
Now buddy, be a real budddy and show me how it's done...... ( and then i will say you were right and apologize ) otherwise, go and bother some other thread with that 1 brain cell of yours !

I tried it and I still could not read the Hotmails.....
So Installed KG2 firmware, rooted it, wiped etc.....
And now Pure messenger is able to read the default mail accounts so my problem is solved.
But thanks for your help anyway !
hello
i have encountered the same pb on S3 and now also on the S4. I can not configure the exchange email app. only the mail. how can i do that because it seems to me already that samsung only says that you have exchange email but it doesnt work. wtf?!
Mail exchange works perfectly on Sgs3 and now on sgs4... I use it non stop. Ask your administrator of the mail exchange server settings. You do something wrong with the settings.

Wow .. now that activesync has expired on gmail I need to reinvent my mail syncing on my new s4.
The way I wanted to go about it is that I let gmail sync calendar and contacts and use the native mail client via imap.
Why not use gmail for mails too .. well because I need to set up my work activesync account too .. and I don't want two apps for mails.
First thing I notice is that when I set up imap access to gmail with the native application I get no push functionality (imap idle). The shortest sync frequency is 5 minutes. This is not good enough.
I am now thinking about using the eMail app from CM10.1 .. which served me well on my old device but I really don't want to loose any of these nifty Samsung features (which I may already have lost because I installed swiftkey from playstore .. don't know yet).
Anyone have some tips for me on how to proceed?

Google has stopped providing exchange mail for private and personal Gmail (starting February 2013), so you can use the build in Gmail account in your phone or to set IMAP.

That was for "additions," not legacy users. I'm still using GMail ActiveSync with my N2 and Note 10.1 Does anyone know if it's carried-over based on GMail account or only by individual device? For example, if I got a SGS4 would ActiveSync that's currently working on my N2 continue to work on other phones I swap after that?

Yep .. either switch to outlook.com, use a software that can do imap idle (K9Q i guess .. never really got into that) or do it like i do it right now .. live with the 5 minute delay in the standard email client and do the syncing for calendar, contacts etc. via gmail account.
At least this is my solution for today
Actually I'm using a hacked client from CM10.1 .. to not have to enter the PIN so often. The thing is that all Samsung stuff is lost .. like in-mail translations .. this is quite a pity .. I really hope for a security patched version soon. Oh .. to clarify .. the patch is not for my googlemails of course .. but for the other exchange account I have to set up.
Got my new Galaxy S4. What is up with the email app? are you able to have it push email? i dont want it to poll every 5 minutes, i need my emails instantly...
I turned on sync in the email app, which apparently this is not push, anyways, throughout the day when i open the email app i get a popup saying email sync disabled. Why?
Can anyone confirm that the search function works?? I have my email set up as an imap account, whenever i want to search something in my email i get 0 results, and if i hit the search on server, it does not bring up anything either. This happens with all my email accounts on my phone, and my wife's accounts on her GS4. Any idea why??
I have a rooted S4, not using a custom rom. I have tried K9 email but it is just plain ugly. I actually like how the stock email app looks but nothing works!
I searched all over the internet and i dont see anything on most of these issues so im assuming im doing something wrong if nobody else is talking about this. Please, any help would be awesome. My wife wants her iphone back because of this.
I use the stock email app with no issues. I have it set to recieve from my work exchange account, my outlook and gmail accounts. All are push, and all of mine are searchable with no issues.
You may try erasing the account, and then resetting it. I know my outlook account is also an exchange server, but the gmail I think is IMAP. All mine have the check box "sync email" checked, and I set all to push notifications. Be sure you are setting up the account in the email app itself, that may help.

Where do you see the email push setting? only see sync, and whenever i turn on sync, i get a popup a few hours later when i open the app that sync has been disabled. Even when i enable sync, it gives me the option for sync schedule for at most every 15 minutes.
As far as the search, i use godaddy imap and yahoo. I cant search anything out of what is showing when i open the app. It shows me default of i think 25 emails when i open the app and if i scroll to the bottom it starts to load more. When i do a search, it only searches through what is loaded and when i do continue searching on server i get nothing more. The only results is what is in the 25 loaded messages, or 50 messages if i scroll down at let it load more...

The email app on the iphone is far better than the stock email app on the SGS4. I think the stock email app on the SGS4 is utter crap, at least with IMAP. Maybe it works better with exchange. I use Kaiten, which is an upgraded/updated version of K9. Another one that I looked at briefly was AquaMail.

The thing is i actually really like the email app on the GS4. I think the layout is nice and the email app is one of the few times i actually feel that the air view feature is really useful. The problem is, is that it is not reliable. I need my emails instantly and the email app is not getting it for me. I just figured out the search problem i was having. If i just change in the settings messages to load from 25 to "total" all of my messages will be there and search is fine. I still wish there is a way to have my emails come instantly rather than every 15 minutes. Aside from the push issue, what else do you dislike about the stock app that the other apps have? The only thing i noticed on the iphone is the push option...

Four major issues are (and there are other minor issues):
- Lack of IMAP IDLE (push)
- When you reply to someones message, the text in their message is reformatted in your reply (font changes and line spacing changes). Looks unprofessional for work email.
- html hyperlinks are sometimes not properly parsed and are unclickable. I get a news service hyperlinks to articles. None of the hyperlinks work on the stock email client. I have to forward the message to gmail or something to click on the hyperlinks.
- emails sent from stock email client do not sync properly and have a different format on my outlook client.
Kaiten has none of these problems. These are not problems with the iphone app either.

plus, to update on the syncing being disabled. I set the sync to on, reboot my phone, opened the mail app and i get the pop up that says sync disabled. I open the settings and the sync option is no longer checked.
Just tried Kaiten...It was downloading so many copies of my emails. It showed each email at least 4 times...uninstalled...
They are correct, the one I looked at was my Outlook.com email address, and my work address. The gmail address shows the same thing as yours.
I guess the news hasn't gotten around fully. Gmail accounts to do not support push with anything other than the native stock android gmail app anymore (since, when exactly, I don't remember. March or April of this year?). In that particular case, it's not the fault of the Samsung email app. No other app besides the official "gmail" app will receive emails by push from a gmail account, and that includes any email applications on any other system from iphone to any other operating system. Blame gmail.
The only thing I miss by using the stock email app is that I can't get it to come up in the combined inbox by default...I have to select it each time which is a bummer.

you think you got it bad, i paid for unlock code on a rogers 1337m and had the push option.
when i inserted a telus sim and and unlocked it, it force reset the phone, force factory reset rather, and now i dont have push.
i also picked up some crappy apps from telus
confused.
