I'm new to android, coming from windows mobile. When I forward an email with an attachment, the attachment does not get forwarded. I have to save the file to my sd card and then attach.
Is there a way to just "forward" the email with the file? I can't see why android would not have this feature. Windows do.
Hoping is that I didn't do it correctly. Please help.

When I hit forward, it automatically attaches the attachments from the previous email and has little x's next to them if I don't want them attached.

I guess nobody seems to care but I've searched almost the whole day for a solution but coulnd't find any or am I the only one who sends email with attachments other than pictures, video or audio etc ?
The big problem is the predefined set of file types you can attach to an email. This in both the HTC Email application and the Gmail application.
When you want to add an attachment to an email, you can only choose pictures, video's, audio, app share, location and document. What if I want to attach a .zip file or multiple zip files at once. No way you can do that. The only solution I found was a program called File Sender but this one only works for the Gmail application, whereas I'm an Exchange Active Sync user.
When started, the File Sender application opens a tiny file explorer in which you can choose the file you want to attach to an email. I want the same functionality in the stock HTC Email application. And no I don't want to buy 3rd party Exchange email clients. Any one with a solution or any one who can develop a mod/program/hack or whatever to bring this functionality to Android ? It would be nice to select multiple files at once no matter what kind of file type.
Thanks....
There are many apps that can solve your problem. For example install Blackmoon File Browser and you can attach any file in Gmail.
You can always change the extension of a .zip file to .jpg or similar and tell your recipient to change it back, saves you doing anything

Thanks, but for Gmail there are solutions but I'm an Exchange user so I use the stock HTC Email application and NOT the Gmail app. For HTC email app there are only paid apps which can handle attachments as it should be.
Try a file manager, I've got Astro and I can send with that through Gmail or the Mail app but I'm not sure about your exchange account.

+1 for astro, it'll allow you to send any file as an attachment in my experience. not used it with exchange though as i dont use exchange
Ok, so a friend asked me to text them with another friends number. Sure, I said, no problem.
I started a new message (using Polymod 2.1D) filled in the number of my friend who asked, and then started to compose the actual message.
But, for love nor money, could I find any option to insert a number from my contact list!
I exited the message and went to the contact list. I found the "Share" option, but that simply made an email with a .vcf attachment!
Is there anyway to be able to insert a contact into a text (sms) message?
The default messaging program isn't that great.
I personally like ChompSMS which does what you want but have a look though the market and see which one is best for you.
And which is Best you think?

Shocked I'm the first one looking for a solution to this problem. Search turned up nothing.
In my email app, it downloads only the attachments that are below 500kb. For any attachments that are over 500kb, I need to hit the little down arrow to download. it. I get the spinning clock and then the error "Unable to download this attachment". I've rebooted and no effect.
This is for a docx file. Another one is a pptx. I have Docs to Go and am able to open docx files that downloaded along with the email.
The kicker is that if I forward the email to my Gmail, it will say "fetching attachment" for awhile and then Docs TG will say it's not a valid Word 97-2008 file. But I can open it on my computer just fine.
Anyone?
I can't download this with Touchdown either. I can't be the only one with this problem. I was able to download large attachments via the same Exchange server on the Epic 4G and the Palm Pre.
Why do you suppose you are getting the "97-2000 file" .... ??? The answer is self explanitory man.....
Why do you think it works fine on your computer..... the answer is self explanitory......
The evo is not a windows phone.... if you cant download and/or open office 2010 docs do you find that really very surprising???
So lets start with the basics.....
What rom are you running?
What email app are you using.
Maybe tell whomever is sending office 2010 files to same them as 97-2000 file types ie: doc and ppt and xls

It's not a Office 2010 file issue. I can open smaller docx, pptx and xlsx files just fine. Meanwhile, I have a XLS file in my inbox right now I can't open which is 3.7MB.
I'm running Stock Sense ROM. Well, almost, it's the deodexed one. I'm rooted.
I've tried the HTC Mail, the stock 2.2 mail, and Touchdown. All give me an error of some sort when downloading larger attachments.
Like I said, I had no problems downloading these large attachments on other phones. If I can't figure this out I'm going to have to return the phone because I receive large-ish attachments all the time for work and if I can't view them on my phone that is an absolute no go.

Some more data points:
< 1MB PDF downloads OK
< 1MB docx downloads/views OK
1+ MB PDF does not download
1+ MB docx does not download
So it appears there is a 1MB threshold somewhere although I have no idea where.
And I'm not a huge fan of the iPhone but it also is able to download these attachments. I just tested them on my wife's phone.
Are you sure nothing has changed on ur exchange server recently ? Activesync clients can enforce restrictions specified by the server. You should check with ur xchange admin if u havent already.

I considered that, but like I said, I added my Exchange account to my wife's iPhone just last night and could download these attachments no problem.
Any ideas? This is infuriating and I'm not sure what to do. I'm about to try going into the store and adding my EAS account on one of the demo units to see if it does it there. I'm at a complete loss here.
I tested the Sprint Store demo unit with my account and had the same problem. I asked them about it and they told me it's not the first time they've heard of this problem, it is due to the way mail is handled in Android, and there is no fix :-( Even though I wasn't sure he knew what he was talking about, it's not a good sign.
Crap. Now what....
In the email app under settings. Make. Sure you select "entire mail" and and "always" under the attachment setting.

So I already have "entire mail" selected under mail size limit. Not sure what you're referring to on the "always" setting. I have a setting for "Include file attachment" and my options are Never, <25KB, <100KB and <500KB. I have <500KB selected.
Use Blackmoon Attachsave. It will let you save it, then view it after. I had the same problem and that solved it for me.

Thanks for the idea. It seems that this is only for GMail. I did try installing it but it didn't work. Thanks anyways.
Okay, let's try this another way. Can ANYONE download attachments larger than 1MB using Exchange on the email app? Anyone at all?

Bump, can anyone test this and prove/disprove that this is a platform problem and not device specific?

Hey man... I just downloaded 1.9MB zip file, using HTC Mail app(stock Froyo rooted), from my work exchange server.
Let me know if you would like to check anything else..

Thanks. So apparently this isn't completely widespread. Maybe it's a function of Android + my server? Because my server works fine with the iPhone and other people's servers work fine with the Evo.
Totally confused. 5 days to return the phone.
FYI, no fix. Contacted higher level technical support and they were absolutely no help.
I too have this problem and have been using Kaiten Mail from Android Marketplace. It downloads attachments fast even on 3G/HSDPA. But it became too buggy for me so now I'm back to the Gmail app.
Maybe try some email clients.
I really need to find an answer or a solution to this.
So I have a security camera setup at my store and house... The DVR Recorder is set up to email alerts to me directly when it detects motion... if the DVR senses motion, I get 3 snap shots sent to me thru email directly to my phone (or whatever email address). The images are small CIF (240x320) resolution shots spaced 2 seconds apart - so 3 pics total.
OK: So when I had an iPhone, and I received an alert email - I would SEE the 3 attached photo's automatically when clicking the email message.
Now I'm using GS3 phone, and I get the email but the pictures are 3 separate attachments and I have to manually click on them to download and display - each one individually. VERY ANNOYING.
I've tried the default Gmail app, and Enhanced Email... Same result with both email apps. I'd like to get the email to automatically show the images - which are really small, and I don't understand why I need to manually download them to see them............
Anyone have any suggestions????????

Yeah of course. I think the issue is these are sent as ATTACHMENTS, not as embedded HTML images. What I need is an email app that will auto-download attachments, either all or maybe if I can say download attachments under a certain file size.
Have you tried some of the apps available at the store? Like K-9 or MailDroid. I haven't used em so cant say which might do what you need.
Something else you could try is grabbing the email app from another Samsung phone like the Note, or see if the plain Android stock email app could work.
Sorry I dont have a direct answer for you, but though id at least throw out some ideas.

is there such an app?
ot: and is there an iOS app that saves your contact list to a file, then i email that file to my android phone so i have my contacts to my nexus4?
basically saving contacts from the iphone to android phone
when I switched from iOS to Android a while ago, I just added Google Sync to my iPhone and saved everything there. When I got my Android, first thing it asked my was, of course, my Google account... click, and BAM! All my contacts were there, right away.
You can assign ringtones to individual contacts with the built in people app.

You can try Group Ringtones (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appventive.groupring&feature=search_result). It lets you change the ringtone for a group of people, which is quicker and easier to do than contact by contact.
i went with ringo PRO! nice app
