opening attachment in gmail - Desire General

How do you open an attachment in the gmail application. I can not see any settings or options

I have the same problem. My workaround : when needed, I save attachments with the htc mail app.

My workaround is to use gmail in the browser. Works great.

I think the solution is to totally dump the gmail app and use the mail app and Google's exchange server instead. And there's also the web app (as the other poster pointed out) which lets you search old mail etc.

install OI Filemanager from Market and that should fix ur problem

unfortunatly, OI filemanager does not add any "save to" option to the gmail app afaik
Only "preview" is available... I don't get it - shouldn't it be possible to save an attachment without opening it first ?

You can try GSaver to save or open your gmail attachment on Android.
just search GSaver to find it out. It's completely free

How to save attachment in Gmail?

So my buddy sent me some ringtones he made through gmail, but all i can do is preview them. Any idea how this can be done without havin to open gmail in the browser?
Any help would be appreciated.
Pretty sure you have to open Gmail in the browser...
major fail for the gmail app and the pop3 client won't do it either... how ghetto.
When you do the save in the browser it gives the filename some crap with a different file extension too.
Save My Attach on market/appbrain
Search blackmoon in the market, free version works fine.

[Q][SOLVED] Stock E-Mail Application[Q]

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to install the original Mail application from the Google Nexus S/One (like the mail app you would find on Stock Gingerbread) onto my Desire HD? HTC's mail app has some issues with Exchange, and every time I delete an E-Mail it just re-appears in the same folder. Thanks in advance.
Problem Solved - Changed the settings on my Hotmail account, should have checked there first.

the facebook sync doesnt actually "add" any real contacts but simply makes them look like they have been added. but will get deleted once you "un sync"

I think but am not sure but if your contacts are on the sim card then you can not add pictures to them. Copy them to the phone or use your google account instead.

There are 2 ways I know you can achieve this:
1) Use Samsung Social Hub, add your FB account and it will give you options to link each of your contacts to a their FB account, this will sync their photos and status updates into your contacts.
2) Use the official FB app, and check the Sync Contacts option. I havent tried it personally but should work similar to Social Hub

Facebook sync

Hi. I know in previous versions of Facebook you could sync contacts (numbers/photos ect)
Does anybody know how to do this on the n4, or a way to import all the contacts photos and numbers?
I have already gone into settings>accounts and set contacts to sync from there but no luck
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ice Cream Sandwich and later versions of android don't allow Facebook contact syncing. My understanding is that this was because the way that Facebook had been allowed to do it in the past was a kludgy system that wasn't the same as the api available to other developers. Until Facebook decides to use the standard api, you have to use as third party app to make it work. I use one that's popular called Haxsync.

It is fantastic. You can sync your fb contacts - chose to sync those that match a contact you already have, or sync all.
It will also sync your fb calendar events and/or birthdays which I find really useful
+1 Haxsync. It syncs everything you might want and you can configure the sync in many ways.
It's not free though.
User that or Friendcaster for Facebook.

Does Haxsync still work in JB 4.2? If so do you need the app plus the work around?

You need the workaround. If you install just the app, it prompts you on first launch to install the workaround.
Haxsync works great.

i read something about changing de contactsprovider.apk, so facebook kann sync by its own.
Does it work on the nexus 4 as well?
if it works u dont have to use another app, to sync.

Gmail 4.7.2

Anyone have any luck selecting more than one attachment at a time through the new Gmail update?
Mine only allows one selection at a time. Or maybe I can't figure out how to select more than one. Tap and hold does nothing.

Don't use gmail but as I test I tried to attach more than one item at a time and it didn't allow me to either - looked into settings and all sorts and just seems like it only allows the one at a time I'm afraid - well from what I can see anyways.
But here's an idea why not place your Gmail account into Samsungs Email app then when you have your Gmail account open in the "Email" app open up Multiwindow of gallery or My files and then you can easily drag and drop content quickly and pretty easily.
It's just an idea and probably of no help but thought I'd atleast mention it lol.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was refraining from using the stock email app because It doesnt support push. But I will try it out. Thanks.
