If you only use gmail, then use the gmail app. Email is for other email providers. And of course if you want to use gmail with the email app you can, but why would anyone want to?

Because the gmail app kind off sucks. So does the mail app actually. WTB combined inbox.

You can't. Support was removed back in 2.3.x for the Nexus S. Issues with Facebooks use of Google API's & local storage of contact data or something along those lines. Should be plenty if you search - either on XDA or on the wider intewebs.

whoa whoa whoa...
let's say I have all important people in my google contacts. I have manually related every one of them to corresponding facebook contacts so that essentially I could see their FB profile photo.
seriously, cannot that be acomplished using GNex??

Don't fret folks. There are other options. I use Contapps. It has a feature to sync HIGH QUALITY facebook pictures. You're going to have to go with the pro version.

facebook on SGS2

i just received m Tmo SGS2 and i have 2 facebook accounts. Is it possible to run 2 facebook accounts on this phone at the same time?
possible yes
using the same app, not quite
you can use different facebook apps, to login with your different facebook accounts
i've yet to see a facebook app that lets you use multiple accounts
how can i download the same facebook app twice from the market? one facebook acct is with my gmail and the other facebook is with my hotmail.
Well yoI won't be able to use the same app or download two of the same, but try and find an app that supports multiple accounts.

you can have two if you use the market Facebook app and then under the phones account and sync setting, add another Facebook account using Samsung social hub. Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

If you dont like spam might want to remove that photo. Otherwise the trolls will attack your accounts.

Erasing overloaded email?

My email has way to much saved data on my phone. Its the email app, and it causing my internal storage to get low. I checked out app size and the cache is huge, is there a easier way to delete old mail thats saved in the email app? Im using cm7.

are you using a gmail account with your built-in email app?
Yeah i am. I dont need both right?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
No, use the Gmail app for Gmail, use the Email app for all other acounts (like exchange/work accounts).

the reason for this is bc the gmail app pulls it from google's servers, doesn't actually save the email on your phone, just lets you look at it
I'm not sure about CM7 but I use Touchdown for exchange email. My email sync is set 2 weeks so it doesnt use up space. I think with the built in app you can do the same.

Whats the better app: Email or Gmail

I have both apps on both of my android phones (atrix_4G & SGS2). I obviously use gmail as my email provider. Does the gmail app offer functionality that that standard built-in email app does not. If not I'll probably delete the gmail app, as I get emails in both of them, at the same time. I don't need the redundancy so let one go.
I like K9, awesome email app...

K9 is the best mail client for me, no wakelocks at all anf much more customizable

the Email app is definitely better than Gmail in terms of functionality.
although, Email and Gmail are both craps, why not try Kaiten email, you will never regret it. You receive email instantly, just like chat!

With K9, I find trying to distinguish unread emails difficult. Anyway to solve this problem?
I use both of them, I use Gmail for my Google account and Email for my another accounts.
I think Gmail is better
both
Gmail is better...i like the whole look n feel of the app.
Email app, grouped mail box
I used them both, for another email i usually use browser directly
I use both of them and they are both nice email apps but have personaly a lil preference for gmail .
I use the Email program from ICS AOSP (wanams hacked version) much better than the sammy email.

i like how email would compress image attatchements but other than that i just use gmail. im used to it.
I like both , but i consider gmail my favorite
Neither of them really as you need both Gmail is Google accounts and email is for MSN, Hotmail etc... accounts
using Gmail default.. Its working fine for me

[Q] What mail app do you use? Mail, Gmail or other?

Hey guys,
I was really wondering.. What mail app do you use?
I previously always used the Gmail app, but since I got my HoX 3 months ago I only use the mail app, because of a better ui and usability, imho.
Do you use Gmail, Mail or an other app for your mail services? Tell us and discuss why!

For my gmail account I use gmail. For my work exchange account I use HTC's Mail app. I like them both and have never tried another mail app (don't like the idea of entering my account info in a third party app).

For Gmail I use the native app.
For my personal email, I used to use K9-Mail but have now switched to MailDroid.
