Gmail for Mobile 2.0 on Excalibur?

http://m.google.com/mail
Finally we have a version of Gmail for Mobile that works for both "Google Apps" and the Excalibur... almost.
It launches and logs in correctly, but it doesn't quite fit the screen. It looks like it's formatting for a portrait screen instead of landscape, therefore the bottom 25% of the screen is cut off, making it very difficult to navigate.
I'm using Kavana's latest ROM with Esmertec Jbed Build 20071119.3.1. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I dont use the Gmail Java app because the Dash handles my Gmail quite nicely. Google does not officially support the Gmail application for Windows Mobile devices but I tried the the Generic Advanced MIDP2 version, it seems to work fine for me.

That version is a little better, the menus are on the screen now, but it still cuts off the bottom of the screen.

I aLso would like a solution to this, i currently use the built in email client, but then I get all my mail from all my labels and my spam folder all mixed together.

Odd, I run the same (Kavana's latest ROM with Esmertec Jbed Build 20071119.3.1) and it works flawlessly. Did you uninstall the previous version first? and make sure the old JAD file is not still on your device and try again. If not, I dont know, it should work if the enviroments are the same.

You shouldnt. Are you using IMAP or POP to get your gmail?

Very strange. I uninstalled the previous version, deleted all references to gmail from the device, rebooted, then installed the new one. Still have trouble with the bottom of the screen getting cut off.

yah with he gmail java app, it cuts off the bottom on my screen as well. and i uninstalled and reboot and install again. same problem. i just use the email built into the phone and that works just fine, but i receive the emails that i sent out too...

Gmail Java App is the way to go... I love it...

Actually I lied. My Java is version 20070312-116861.2.1 I forgot I installed this version cause the other gave me too many problems. So that might be it

Just shows you your inbox the way you see it via gmail, can view all folders, does cut a little bit off bottom but generally thats an advert from peeps email provider
I imagine it takes less data than pop3 connect?

I got it off 4PDA, do a search for "Esmertec Jeodek 20070312-116861.2.1" and it should pop right up. There is also a 3D Java Engine that works pretty cool as well (I believe they are in the same archive).

Screen Size issue
Just found this helpful information on the google mobile blog:
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2008/10/introducing-gmail-for-mobile-20.html
Hi all,
I've found a temporary but working solution to the full screen issue in gmail mobile 2.0
You need to install the application from a modified .jad file; three lines in the original jad has to be changed in the following way
* UseNativeTextButtons: false
* ReverseSoftkeys: true
* UseNativeCommands: false
Then install from the jad and voila', it works full screen!
The original jad file can be downloaded from:
http://m.google.com/app/gmail.jad?dc=gorganic&ver=v2.0.6
Hope it helped.

That's fantastic. Thanks!
If anyone has trouble with the link to the jad file (404 error), try this one:
http://www.gmail.com/app/gmail.jad?make=Generic&model=Advanced MIDP2&ver=v2.0.6

Youtube on the Tilt 2

I'm running stock rom. Is there an HTC youtube app installed on the Tilt 2? If not do you guys know which version works. I don't like the Google app. Thanks.

Youtube is installed on Tilt 2.
Tools > File Explorer > Windows > YouTube (444K sized file will do just fine)
Copy the file and paste shortcut in Start Menu> Programs
The next step is very important.
Goto:Settings >Connections>Connections>Advanced Tab: Select Network button: Change bottom drop down to Media Net. Both drop downs should be Media Net.
Thats it.

Is this just another example of AT$T trying to limit streaming on their network?

I thinks so. Before I made this adjustment HTC YouTube app would just crawl and cancel out.
It was more like 1G in a basement.

Thanks...

Followed the instructions to a T. Working great.

After doing this fix it seems that youtube will now load smaller videos over 3g. But the problem is now that they don't load over wifi. Anybody have this same problem?

I did everything as told and when I select the youtube icon under PROGRAMS nothing happens ...... should I copy the youtube.exe - 11k to start menu > programs? Thanks for any help......

I didnt have to change anything in my advanced network. I just disabled the Proxy.
Artexman-make sure you copy the Youtube file thats about 444k, and not the other.

Disable your Proxy, and it should work. Start -> tools -> proxy manager -> disable proxy cab

I was using a cooked rom that had nothing todo with at&t and i still had the youtube connecting problem then i installed this cab it it worked great

I agree with irus. I am using that cab since I had a TyTn II and it solves the youtube problem in our Rhodium as well.
I have an Australian TP2, hard-spl'ed and running 6.5 generic european rom on USA AT&T network.

I missed the second page that had my answer so i am editing my question
I deleted the proxy and works thanks

It works great! Thanks!

When my wifes iPhone hits a site that has embedded YouTube video (e.g. pocketnow.com) it shows the "video" picture within Safari, when you click on it it opens up the iPhones built in YouTube app and plays the video. When I go to the same site on Opera 9.5 (Stock AT&T ROM/Tilt2) the area where the video picture should be is blank, except for a small area where it says, "Plug-in content".
Is there any way to get WM 6.5 to operate in a similar fashion as the iPhone does in this area?

If it works on desktop, it will also work on mobile.
In market>apps>All Apps>Top Free
No.5 is Youtube and 25 is Skype.
Do you see that or not?

both works fine on desktop off course.
and No i cant find them both in market.
No. 5 is The weather channel
No. 25 is Tango Video Calls

It's nothing to do with the handset, it's whether the Market is restricted in the OPs region

Its already on xda, next time search before you ask
Youtube
Skype

[Q] Facebook places

Does it work for any of you on HD Mini? I tried to open Facebook in Opera (even in all versions - mobile, touch and full) and through Facebook app from Marketplace. I can't see any visible button on which I can click to post a place. I am from Czech Rep. so it should work here. Thanks for any hint...

Did you try XDAFacebook? It has that function, but I never tried it.
The MS Facebook App lacks that feature.

It works great..Just the startup picture oversize,everything inside the apps are working perfectly..

[Q] Facebook photo upload not working

Uploading photos to facebook does not work for me.
The behavior is the same both when selecting photo upload from the facebook app, or when chosing to share to facebook from the gallery.
The upload progress in statusbar looks good and finishes, but then an error message is displayed in the statusbar that the transfer failed.
When initiating the upload from facebook a "popup" mesage that the photo could not be added is also displayed.
I tried wipe facebook cache and data and reinstall the app but that didn't solve anything.
I'm on AOKP build25 & franco kernel 18.6.
Anyone else with the same problem?

Ok, so at least I'm not alone....
Good to know that the problem exist also on stock. I wasn't sure if I ever tested it before I flashed a custom rom.

Did you try clearing the app's cache? Logging back in and trying to upload a pic again?

Yes, I wiped cache and data and even reinstalled the app.

Facebook's app is the worst written in Android history. It isn't your fault- they just can't write an update without breaking something. It's a known issue.

Possible solution
It's maybe a little late to offer a solution, but today I finally found out what could be the problem:
I normally share my pictures with "All friends, except ... " (please excuse wrong translation; don't know how it's called in English) and all my picture uploads failed without exception. Today I wanted to share a picture with "All" my friends and... it work perfectly! I tried some more and it seems my problems are gone.
So my possible solution:
-> You have to share with "all", not with some groups or with excluded people. The Facebook App and mobile site is too stupid to work with its own lists.
When creating a new post, just tap the little gear in the lower right corner and select share with "all". It's no solution for pics you don't want to show everyone of course, but it's the only workaround that allows you to upload at all.

After trying a couple things, such as clearing the app data/cache, reinstalling the app from the market, etc. I suspect that this is related more to the APN settings on the phone. I tested this by switching the APN on my AT&T Galaxy Nexus from the Tweakker APN settings (failed to upload pics/videos) to the original CINGULAR 410 (works like a charm, although it takes forever to upload). For reference, the Tweakker settings had the APN as "phone".
Hope this helps.

So, did you read my post above? I'm almost sure it makes all the difference. Tested this with a couple of friends and it works for everyone.

it is enough to only have one list of selfmade friend list. U do not have to share to "all" but u can make list of friends that can see your pictures, call it for example "see mypic friends" and only have that in the . But if u share it to: "see mypic friends" and "mom and dad" at the same it fails
