Email won't download data - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I just switched as a longtime iphone user to 1st time Samsung. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 plus. I am having trouble with the email not downloading the entire message. IM frequently prompted to download more data. I also have to tap a button to download images. I never had that issue with my iPhone. How can I get my emails seamlessly without having to tap more bottons to download more data?

Go to your email app( I assuming you are using Samsung's email app) and access the settings by tapping on the 3 lines(left side), then tap the gear at the top right. Under accounts, tap on your email address and you need to turn on "show images" and below it is "auto download attachments"(in case you are interested in this info too)

Charkatak-
THANKS so much for your fast and perfect response. Your advice completely addressed my issue.

Samsung e-maiil app says refreshing when opened but doesn't actually download mail?

Hi All
I've got the samsung e-mail app set up for my exchange active sync account and everything is working as it should. However, I have noticed that if you open the samsung e-mail application from a shortcut it says refreshing at the bottom of the screen but no mail is actually transferred until you go to menu and select refresh. It then says refreshing at the bottom of the screen and your new mail is downloaded.
Has anyone else noticed this and is there any way to fix this so that the mail will start downloading when you open the app (or knows what the app is doing when it says 'refreshing' and it isn't actually doing anything?)
Many thanks
Spud
PS apologies for the typo in the message header!
Mine doesn't even load even if I refresh it manually and that damn circle keeps circling!!! (Not always, but many times)
Op, the refreshing on start up is synching up your screen view with the little mail database on the phone (that is in turn updated by android auto sync process if auto sync is enabled).
The refresh in the menu is actually going to servers to grab new mail.

Stock e-mail client with multiple accounts

Hello guys, just wondering if I am the only one experiencing this little bug: I've three accounts managed with the stock client to be updated each hour and if I check the accounts separately I can see and use the "update" button on the top right, while under the "combined view" there's always the rotating circle as if it is updating the mailbox forever.
Anybody can check & verify whether it's a common behavior or something wrong in my settings?
Thanks in advance.
...no one?
:crying:
I experienced the same...it's normal. Dont get worried

Thank you Suraj, now I feel better
I've highlighted it also in Android.com support page but with no answer to date. I'll live with it
Thanks again.
So it begs the question, now that 2 people have it... is this a bug? or a feature?
I have the same. But I think it's the matter of Jelly Bean since I have it also on my SGSIII - before JB multi-accounts worked fine on combined view

...a feature that makes the user think that the system is continuously updating even if not true? How would you call it? Misleading icon? :good:
clean recent apps list and it should stop. And dont need to press always that refresh button if you have made sync automatically. When you will get email you will get informed
...nope, it works only once. It only stops if I choose one single account from the dropdown list.
Moreover, if the setting check once per hour, if you turn on the device, say, @ 6:25, you'll get the first update @ 7:25. It's also for this reason that, if I want to check the emails just after the device turn on, I've to check each single account by pressing the famous icon.
Guys,have you tried k-9 mail or kaiten mail,if yes,i advise u to do,u will forget all things about stock mail completely,there are many options there , fully customized

Try Aqua Mail. No support for exchange but otherwise best mail app I have found..so far.

[Q] GMail app switches accounts randomly, removes reply info, moves cursor to bottom

Hey everyone,
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this, but on my Galaxy Note 3 (which I love otherwise) the only problem I'm having is with the GMail app where I have about 10 email accounts I use via Google Apps For Business. When I save a draft replying from one email account, when I go back to that draft it switches the account to my default email account. It also often removes the reply like e.g. "On October 13, [email protected] wrote:". And whenever I open an email draft the cursor jumps to the bottom of the email and I have to scroll back up.
Anyone else having these problems?? This is killing me!
Thanks,
Mike

One suggestion (not sure if it will help): go to your App drawer, find the Google folder, then drag the Gmail app up to the "App Info" bar at the top. Inside "App Info", press "Force stop". Then under "Storage", press "Clear data" and below that, press" Clear cache". Then open Gmail again and see if the issue reappears.

Samsung Account Processing failed

Hello I've had my s5 for about 8 months I just recently did a hard reset so like any other new cell it asks for a Google account and a Samsung account if you have one...
Well I put Google account and everything is OK.. By the time I punch in my details for the Samsung account it says processing failed. I know it's not my details because I have 1 other Samsung s5mini and has the same I'd and password.
It's basically a paperweight right now it won't let me get passes the 3rd screen (Samsung account loggin)
Please help
I am having the same problem as well. I bought my phone from someone else over a year ago so I am not sure if it wants their account or what. The crazy thing is that if I use an incorrect password it says invalid password, but when I enter the right one I get processing failed. Not sure what to do, can't Odin older firmware
Check youtube for "Bypass Galaxy S5 reactivation lock"
same thing here. when i use the right password says, processing failed. when i use wrong one, it says, wrong password
pain in the butt this thing.
Samsung account username/password (test - validation) this is easy to be performed by a computer logging at Samsung website.
Customer support of Samsung this is amazing, if you contact them.
In case that you do log-in normally in your Samsung account over the web, and when you do that from your phone this Fail, then something is heavily wrong, and also Samsung customer support them will hold the answers about that too.
Check Samsung Account app permission ... grant everything and try again
I spent the last 6 hours on this, but I'm finally up and running. Forgot that reset your pw and wait 24 hours BS. The problem is the older devices don't recognize the 2-factor authentication, which means you have to sneak in the backdoor and turn it on. No need to call 911 either - leave those lines open for real emergencies! Here's the step by step, (assuming I haven't forgotten anything).
1. On login page, select the microphone button. This will take you to keyboard options. Select "set hot keys" and type any text in the field.
2. Highlight the text and tap to select Google Assist. On the menu that pops up, hit the share icon and then Google Drive.
3. Okay, this is the part I'm blanking on, so good luck! Somehow from here, I was able to access an address bar. I suggest clicking around until something pops up.
4. Once you get to an address bar, type in "Quick Shortcut Maker" and install and open the app. This app creates shortcuts to various applications on your device.
5. In the app, select Applications and scroll to "Settings." Voila! You just snuck in the back door. Interestingly, I was able to access all kinds of applications this way - NOT VERY SECURE SAMSUNG!!
6. The irony of this next step will blow your mind. Head over to the "backup and reset" menu and select factory reset. I know, you're probably thinking, "this is how I got here in the first place." That's what makes this SO funny.
7. Before you can perform a factory reset, Samsung asks you to verify your pw. Go ahead and enter it again. You will magically end up behind the curtain where you are prompted to enable 2-FA on your phone. Yay! And now you are logged in.
8. Before restarting go to the "accounts" menu in settings and view and verify your profile info associated with the Samsung account. I went ahead and entered my phone number here just in case that mattered.
9. I did all of the steps above with the sim card out. It still didn't work at this point, but after reloading the sim card, I am back in business!!

FRP BYPASS w/o OTG or ODIN!! On ANY Samsung device! You're Welcome!!!

Okay, so browsing the www I came across this article of a guy bypassing the FRP on his S7 edge... I was trying to find a working method for the T-MOBILE TAB E (sm-t377t) so I tried what the instructions said and FINALLY! I was able to get through... This should work on any model of samsung phones that have the FRP but since I cannot test all the other devices Samsung has created I can only vouch for the Tab E.
Here is the whole list of instructions for S7 edge.... My notes on what I did are after step 7 because step 8 didn't work for me.... But yeah I only had to get to step 7 to get past the lock. Keep this on the dl tho or Samsung is going to come out with a new update to block even this trick...... ENJOY
Steps to Bypass Factory Reset Protection on Galaxy S7/S7 Edge
Step 1. After factory resetting your device when you Reboot your device, you would see the Setup Wizard to login into the previously synced Google account.
Step 2. Select your Language and the press on Next. This will bring the screen for WIFI connection. Connect to a portable hotspot that can be quickly turned off. You may connect to your WIFI router but keep in mind you should have easy and quick access to turn it off as we will be required to turn off the WIFI/Internet access to the device.
Step 3. After connecting it to a WIFI router/hotspot, click Next. Now you will have to close/turn off the WIFI router/ hotspot connection as soon as you see the Software Update screen saying Checking for Updates.
Step 4. As you turn off the hotspot you will see couldn’t Sign In message. Now click Next, you will see the options for setting Date and Time. At this point turn back On the WIFI router or the hotspot connection.
Step 5. Now skip through all the screens until you reach the screen saying Google Services. Scroll down, and tap on the blue text saying Google Terms of Services. This will open a popup with the Terms and Conditions.
Step 6. Select some text in the popup by holding on the screen. After selecting the text, you should see some options like Copy , Share etc. Click on the Share button. This will open a menu which says Setup Wizard.
Step 7. Now hold on to the icon of Samsung Setup Wizard. This will open the Application info for the Samsung Setup Wizard. Tap on Data Usage > UPGRADE DATA SERVICE.
MY NOTES ^^^^That part didn't work for me, it still said I was locked out...-------->>>>>
This step did not work due to security reasons. I cleared cache, plugged in OEM cable, and scrolled down from notification bar and turned off the wifi again and then clicked on settings. (Not sure if OEM cable had any effect on the tablet but I was still able to access settings.) In the settings menu, not all the options were available but there was an option to add a user. Added a user, input name and hit next. Samsung login screen pops up, logged in with my samsung account, hit next, and continued to the new user page. At the new user page I clicked on settings, enabled USB debugging and Unknown Sources and attempted to do a factory reset from the Backup and Settings tab, however it was not available for the added user. I proceeded to switch from the new user account that I made to the original (OWNER) account that was there. I was allowed to switch and was asked to sign into Samsung again. Signed in and proceeded to home screen. From here I was able to reset everything from the device. It restarted and I was able to login as if it were a brand new device.
Step 8. This will open a menu asking you to chose the application to Open With. Select Chrome browser. Once Chrome browser opens skip through the process and then open Rootjunkysdl.com using the address bar.
Step 9. Once this website opens, tap on Apps and look for ‘com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk’. Download this application to your device .
Step 10. Now open Google.com on Chrome and search for Samsung App Store. Tap on the first link that appears in the search results, this should open the Samsung app store. Scroll down a little and tap on the icon saying Samsung Galaxy Apps. This should open the Galaxy apps application on your phone.
Step 11. Once you have Galaxy Apps application running tap on the More option at the top right corner of the screen and then tap on Sign In. Then Sign In using your Samsung account or create a new one if you don’t have one.
Step 12. Now search for the ‘file explorer” using the search bar and install any one of them. Once installed open the file explorer application.
Step 13. In the File explorer, open the Downloads folder and install the Quick Shortcut Maker application that you downloaded earlier. You may have to allow installation of applications from Unknown sources.
Step 14. Once the application is installed tap the Open button. In the application perform a search for Google Account Manager, you will see various result tap the one that says Type Email and Password and then hit the Try button.
Step 15. This would open the activity for typing the Password. Tap on the three dotted menu button at the top right corner of the screen and select Browser Sign-In.
Step 16. Sign In using any Google account you want to use and wait a few seconds. After you are Signed in Quick shortcut maker application will reappear. Now just keep tapping the back key until you reach the Google Services screen once again.
Step 17. Now press Next on the Google Services screen. Keep tapping Next until you see the screen saying Account added.
Step 18. Skip through all other screens and tap the Home button. If the home screen doesn’t appear for you then perform a Reboot.

I have the tmo, don't have a tmo sim, can get the frp deal up the point of dialing a number, but only 911. None of the options from there help. I did this method too, it tells me apps aren't installed or are blocked for this action.
Nice, but too bad any of those methods work anymore

unfortunately the online suggested method when using realterm isnt working for my unlocked s8, keep getting a NO CARRIER error when sending the commands. Im using Straight Talk so maybe thats an issue but I cant find anymore help on this subject and very frustrating that my $600 phone is a paperweight at the moment. Damnit, Im just not good with this stuff, lol.

Step 9. Go to http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps/FRP
Step 10. Download and install 5.apk (Android_5_Google_Account_Manager.apk didn't work for me, but 5.apk did)
-If you have a different android version, make sure to use the right one~!
Step 11. Download and install com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk run it after install.
Make sure to hit the three dots in the upper right hand corner when the app opens, and do browser sign in.
