Gmail issue - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my girlfriend just got the s4 shes coming from an old droid and she uses gmail religiously for work
when composing an email theres attach photo,attach video but no attach document...i know a way around this is to go to the files and hit share then it will attach to a new email
but the issue with using that as a work around is if you want to reply to an email with a document attachment that wont work for that you would need a menu option like photo and video has
the old gmail app on her phone she can just attach whatever her phone wasnt able to update to this gmail version
anyone got any ideas on how to solve this issue

For me,I have selected "attach photo" then selected my ES file explorer app(instead of gallery), and was able to attach documents(.txt file) to the email. See if that works for her.

[Q SOLVED] Linked Contacts = Facebook Profile Pictures Overpowering Others?

Does anyone else have this problem (or a solution) but when I link my core contacts (from my Google account who all have their own headshot that I chose ages ago) and link it with Twitter (which seems to be fine) and/or link it with Facebook your Facebook Profile photo of said contact overpowers your default one? Even if I go into edit, and change the photo to tell it to use the "Google" one or even if I select an image from my phone's SD card it'll appear for a second but then Facebook's image over powers it... is this just me? Or if it's not, does anyone have a solution other than unlikning Facebook accounts to your existing contacts?
Thanks!
I think I have it now. I think it was the fault of the old Touch Pro2 I used to have as the <HTC DATA> stuff in the "Notes" of some contacts was lengthy...
thats good to know, just in case anyone else runs into this we have a solution
I have this same problem on a new desire z - not had android before. I pick a photo from the gallery but a few mins later the crappy res facebook one takes over.
Would love to know how to fix it.

Update... My idea worked, until Facebook did it's hourly sync from my phone! Back to square one!
Having done a bit of a google, im not sure theres a fix for this. Hopefully will come with 2.3.

I have a solution, I'll post it in a few hours when I'm back from university!
Create a "phone" contact with the same name (or similar), give that contact the nice sized picture from your phone, then link it with your Google/Facebook accounts, let your phone "sync" to these services once, then go in, edit contact and select the "Phone" picture from the menu and regardless of how many times you sync it won't overpower your default (large) phone contact picture...
Nice workaround - but hopefully 2.3 will fix it properly.

i just bought my galaxy tab and spent last one hour playing it. I have choose galaxy tab over ipad just because its size that it comparatively handy.
I am a HTC desire user and i am very obsessed by the HTC desire Facebook integration. I couldn't find same functionality in galaxy tab. Could you please help me to find out how can i get following functioanalities.
1. How can i get Facebook widget like HTC has where can i see my friends update?
2. How can i get Facebook sync with my friends contacts like HTC. I can see my Facebook contacts but i want them to link with my Google accounts?
3. How can i get contacts widget like HTC in galaxy tab where can i see their Facebook profiles pics?

Short answer: you need to spend some more time with it LOL
Install FB app from market. It will ask if you want to sync Contact, say yes. Hit your tab by holding down the finger and select add Widget, you should see FB there. Add it then change the refresh settings to your liking.
Hi
thanks for the reply. I followed same steps but contact sync with Facebook is not good as HTC phones.

I have this same issue. THe sync with Samsung is HORRIBLE. Contact photos do not sync well, links cant be established properly and IF you can link contacts, you can't choose to use say FB's contact photo?? WTF.
Even Windows Mobile 6.5 was better than this! I could click on a contact... in options, choose link to FB contact and viola. GReat especially when some people don't like to use real or full names on FB and use different email addresses for work and social. After that, you could even hold down over the contact photo and then choose to use FB photo, something from the callery or even take a photo!
I used syncmypic to try do this and it helped a little but it still wont work fully.
Also... even if you manage to link contacts manually, you can't choose to use FB photo if there already is a photo for your contact... annoying and poorly thought out...
I use dolphin hd and the desktop user agent add on I only have the fb app just for the share pics and youtube option

Galaxy Tab email apk on DL30 leak

Since flashing the DL30 leak, i cannot setup my corporate email. it gives me a username/password error when i try and create the account.
i've read about installing the galaxy tab email apk, but can someone be so kind as to post a how to on this?
I'm not 100% confident in being able to move the apk to system/apps and to delete the odex file. Need some help.
i'v also read you cannot see the bottom of the email list with this installed.
is there a fix yet?
thanks in advance.
download the galaxy tab email.apk, which is available if you search the site. use root explorer, move or copy it into system/app, delete email.apk, be sure to copy the email.apk to another place if you want to use it later before you delete it. reboot your phone. i did the same today after i was getting the "message to long" notice. Now my yahoo address email works great.

can you explain how to move a file via root explorer?
and are you having the issue where you can't see the bottom of the email list?
Hey so these directions work great and I wanted to change my email because the new email on DL30 asked me for too much security clearance to get into my email when i upgraded. Well the galaxy tab email worked great when i was running the Superclean ROM.
I wanted to check out the Rubiks ROM and I'm lovin it...
but i set up my email the same way and it set up the same way and everything looked good. I got a notification of new emails so i went to my inbox to check them and my inbox is completely blank... i deleted the email.apk and did the process over again and same thing. So i'm beginning to wonder if it's the ROM. Anyone have any thoughts?
EDIT: Sorry guys... stupid me, i went in and cleared data and cache, reinstalled and now it's working
The Galaxy Tab email looks great on the Fascinate, much better than stock. Thanks for the post.
Has anyone tried any of the other Galaxy Tab apps, like the Calendar?
This... Is... Awesome!

I had it up and running and just went in and its asking me for my email and password again...says i have incorrect username/password. Im gonna trouble shoot it and see if i can figure it out.
edit:rebooted phone and came up fine, weird.
Has anyone else noticed that even when you only have 1 email, the number on the icon always says 2?

Inline images in an email

I am going on a 7 day bicycle ride next week, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and I want to send some emails while I'm on the road. One of my teammates made awesome banner images for each day, so I want to put those at the top of each email message.
I can create drafts in Gmail on the web, add the images, put some text and leave them ready to send. What I want to do as the days go by is edit each draft, add any updates or special mentions based on the events and send.
Unfortunately, when I access the draft in the Android Gmail app, the format is completely lost. The app turns the inline image into an attachment and it doesn't even get sent when testing.
Does anyone know of an Android email client (IMAP preferably) that does inline images? Even if it's with a URL or that allows HTML tags?

Hmm well you could try using the full computer page of gmail. Via the stock browser app.
Install flash player if you already dont have it - http://db.tt/LiJFLmj1
(Backup flashplayer.apk from my dropbox)
Then just open native browser app and check request full site under the pull down settings.

Hmm that's good to know! I found that Maildroid allows inserting the images inline. I can write up my drafts on Google Docs and then copy and paste into Maildroid and insert the images. This should make it fairly easy to do with just my phone.
Thanks for the help!
