Insert problem for txt message

Hello,
i need help, in the text message i go to menu and go to insert and oddly i cannot pick a picture, file..etc its all like faded unsure how to explain.
Also.. i been looking at the OZ messenger, and i tried it and got the text message problem. I looked it up here but they told me to go change the internet,tzone, and MMS. and it didnt work for me. can ne one help?
also.. my MMS messages are being sent. i press send... and it just goes back to the regular home page.. nothin happens.. (ask the ppl i send it too and they nvr recieved it.)
thx you

Use the thing I have on the bottom to fix the problem with the MMS...

SET UP PICTURE MESSAGES, TZONES, AND INTERNET ON NEW ROM:
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com...9&phoneId=1828
its that part right?
i did that part already with all of them, and i still cant send...
and when doin regular txt message and u go to insert all the choices r faded, can u tell me how to fix that?
I also hav At&t not T-mobile, does that matter?

Well since those settings are for tmobile in that link, then on ATT, of course, the settings would be different.

There is a program called "Connection Setup" in the new ROM's just run it and select your country and carrier and it should set everything up for you.

I believe it is under Accessories.. I don't think you can add stuff like words pictures, voice notes... because those are things that are done within MMS messages to my knowledge and not just regular txt messages

THanks, it was the wrong rom, i downloaded the karvana one... works fine so far

That "vista button" you're referring to is a plugin called SmartToolkit. This thing has SO many functions... It has an auto-keylock function which can activate a screensaver; it restructures your menu interface to resemble more of a "PC feel"; it also makes your files easily accessible (quicker than using File Explorer). These are just SOME of the many things you can do with this sucker.
EDIT: From what I hear, version RC08 is less buggy and more reliable than the newer RC09.

Problems after changing to @gmail.com

Hey,
So you may have heard, uk users can now change from @googlemail.com to @gmail.com but now I'm having problems after having do so.
I keep getting errors saying gtalk can't sign in. I don't really use gtalk but it would be nice for it to actually work if I wanted to.
How do I change the main google account to @Gmail.com instead of @Googlemail.com without doing a software reset?

Hi Brummiesteven
There are 2 ways to change the details of your Google account on your phone.
1) Try this (taken from Sizzledcore.com):
Open Menu, and go to Settings.
Select Applications and then go to Manage Applications.
Look for the app “Google Apps” and tap it.
Now tap the “Clear data” button.
Now, in the Notifications (top of the screen) you will see a new notification.
Tap “Your account must be updated”.
Now enter your new Google account info.
Reboot your phone and you’re all done!
2) Change your Google password on a PC and reboot your phone, which should then ask you re-input your Google login details.

Have Google actually made the option available to change to gmail.com?
I know they released a statement saying you will be able to soon but I think you will need to change it somewhere online first before it will work on your phone.
I'm just guessing here by the way.

Make soft reset, I had the same problem and it helped me.

Login to googlemail.com, settings > accounts. Next to your @googlemail.com there's a small link saying chance to @gmail.com?
After you've done so you get a free set of stickers

Same. Seems the only option is to do a reset of the phone. I'll wait untill I've got an hour free as I'd need to install all my apps again. Don't need to worry about my contacts as those are all online.

I just ended up doing a reset of my phone after changing from Googlemail to Gmail. Pretty annoying as I now have to reinstall all my apps and re-link contacts to their Facebook / Twitter / Flickr accounts.
I was also hoping that this might have fixed the Picasa gallery syncing; it hasn't. The options just disappeared under the Google Account settings.

I changed mine to gmail.com but when I log into gmail on my PC it still says @googlemail.com
I still seem to be getting emails through on my Desire but now I get a warning every so often that Google Talk can't connect or something.
I don't even know what Google Talk is, I've never used it as far as I know.

I had to change it twice on the pc before it actually took affect. Try that.
Google Talk is a google IM, however it has to be configured correctly or you wont be able to access the Market Place as I've heard they use the same login.

You can just add the gmail addy as a 2nd account and untick the original googlemail account in the sync settings.
Works a treat without having to reset.

I had to change to @gmail.com twice, but then it stuck.
I reset my phone and I now get Picasa albums in Gallery 3D.

Ah, the changing it twice thing seems to have made my account change online.

I had to change mine twice too!!
Glad there is already a thread on this, previous ways of changing the Google account on Android don't seem to work on the Desire
Stuff that has been suggested which doesn't work:
Go to manage applications, find "Google Apps" and clear the data
Doesn't work, clear data button is greyed out
Go to manage applications and clear the data for everything Google related
Doesn't work, have cleared data for Google Talk, Google Mail, Google Mail Storage, reboot phone, just carries on as normal
Change Google password online
Doesn't work, just prompts for new password, not user account
On mine, all Google mail, Calendar and Contacts seem to be syncing fine without me changing anything, need to confirm all of that. But sending mail from my phone DOES send as gmail.com.
The only thing that is affected is Google Talk. For a start, I dis-abled this and signed out of it, but it obviously likes to stay signed in anyway, because it keeps coming up with a prompt in the notification bar that it failed to sign in, no option to change anything
Why the hell is it still trying to sign in? Might just remove it!!

I just rebooted and now my gmail doesn't work at all. It just says no connection when I go to the gmail app.
Wish I never changed to gmail.com now lol
It seems to all sync OK but I just get this "No connection" error in the gmail app.

Wow i think I will hang fire on this until we have a proper process. Cant believe google didnt send out instructions for android users.
Really good news about the Picasa albums though - that was really annoying me.

You can change it back untill you get something sorted.

I still seem to receive email. The gmail app only seems to load half my inbox though and shows a "No Connection" error half way down the screen with a 'Retry' button on it. I click that, it tries to connect but doesn't.
So to sum up. It works but I have an annoying thing half way down my inbox.

Yep, that's sorted it.
Don't think I'll be changing it again any time soon!

Google sign in

How do I get the yellow drop box from showing when sign in to Google from the browser
Sent from my GNex {GSM}

I don't exactly understand what you are referring to, could you explain this in a little more detail?

if you go to the google bottom of the page and select in yellow drop box shows up and says sign in as (email address) and u won't have 2 enter ur password. I tried to upload a screen shot says it can't upload
Sent from my GNex {GSM}

And you DON'T want this to happen?

You could probably do that by forcing the browser to show Desktop Site, but it might not have that option because you are on mobile. My bet is that it's something on Google's end, and you wouldn't be able to force any auto completion of your password.

If you lost your phone, they already have your account from the accounts & sync screen. And all of the current apps on the phone you're signed in to (sooo disabling this feature ITT won't fix your problem). Not to mention that they have everything else on the phone you should be worried about. When you lose your phone, you can instantly log into the computer and change your password etc.., but you can't get back the phone or data.
Put a passcode on your phone. Problem solved.

[Q] email attatchment issue

i just got my note 2 yesterday and use it for work. i love it so far but anytime i get a email in my work account with a attatchment, the attatchment shows as winmail.dat. i never had this issue with my gnex. any idea what is causing this?

This is due to an Outlook option.
You can read it with Winmail.dat Reader software on PC.
Your contact sent you a message with RTF Microsoft Exchange format and he doesn't have any program to read that format.
He has to go to settings > message format > select HTML or Text.
And you can have a look at this website: http://www.winmaildat.com/

the strange thing is i have gotten emails from people that i used to get them all the time from and it still doesnt work. i even sent myself a email from my laptop and it did the same. just double checked and my laptop settings are to plain text.

Stock Email Folder Sync

Can anyone help me with this? I want to give the stock email app (as opposed to Gmail app) a try again but can I get the folders I've created to sync back further then 1 month? Like I save things I need for work into folders that I access later when I need them. In the Gmail app I can see all emails in a folder...even from like a year ago, but don't seem to be able to on the stock app. Can I? Thanks.

Yes you can. It's what I do all the time. Look in the email settings. You can sync ALL emails to your phone.
However, after you change the respective setting, you have to actually click on each individual folder to have the download commence. This is the important part. Just tap one folder, back out, tap another, back out, tap another, back out, etc. And just let your phone download in the background. Make sure you're either plugged in if you have lots of emails, as it'll drain as when it's downloading in the background. After everything is done, you can search any email you want with the built in device search function.

I'm just not seeing the option to sync all. Mind providing a screen shot so i can see if I'm missing something?
