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.

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

Ya I agree its A LOT better haha seems like the rerouting to browser was fixed also. But ya I use AIM for fb chat also but it would just be nice to have it intergrated like the iphone FB app (=

omg please yes.

Yep rerouting to the browser was my biggest complaint. I don't use FB chat, and Places is gay.

This update reminds me of facebook for iphone. I feel at home again.

But now instead of your shack you live in a... Smart Mansion. Lmao, Yeah i feel like we are making progress with android now that are consumer base is almost if not bigger than iOS

I downloaded it, and it still doesn't compare to the iPhone's Facebook app, but I guess its a step in the right direction

FB Places and Groups are junks. they take spaces on the screen for absolutely no use because I dont even care to use those feautes. Wish i can disable them and make them disappear for good.

can you guys tell me what size your facebook apk is on your phone? Mine is ringing in at a whopping 1,29GB with 1.08MB (before the update) as the Application and 1.29GB listed as data. Clearing data does nothing for the size. Just seems way out of whack IMO.

Email app like outlook

I wondering if any one has used any good email clients. The one on the stock android is good for personal use but falls really short for work purpose.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Good question, I am looking for the same thing because I use Road Runner. And man, t-Mobile jacked my phone up. They set up a filter and all my emails where sent to my phone as a text message. Now I can not find out how to fix it because sometimes my email works and sometimes it doesnt and I think that the filter is screwing everything up. I called them and they said that they deleted the filter, however it still sends my messages via text.
Super Annoying!!!

I saw some one mentioned k-9 Mail, its much better than the
One that comes with the phone. If there is one btter than that then please suggest.

How about Touchdown by Nitrodesk? I've been using it for a couple of years now and I like it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

In what way do you feel the stock app falls short for work? I use it for work everyday and it does everything I need it too. What features are you looking for in an email app that the stock one doesn't have?
Just curious, that's all.....

Well for one it does not foward attachments and also u can't clear the trash folder.

Odd. I forward mail containing attachments from my work account to my personal account all the time, and they forward just fine. And you can clear the trash folder. Select the account you want, hit menu, folders, trash and then select the messages you want deleted, and hit delete. Done.
I realize it might not be as convenient as some may want, but it does work.

One thing I've noticed with the stock gmail app is that you can't save attachements...unless I'm missing something but when I email a xls spreadsheet to myself it gives me a option to preview it but no save.

im using touchdown for now.
I need to be able to search email and the stock client does not allow for that

I've been using Seven (which is free) on WM for years. It's not nearly as polished on Android, but it's decent. I'm looking for alternatives and will give Touchdown a try.

S3's email app is terrible! Alternatives?? please help

I liked the stock email app on the galaxy S2, I figured that once I got my s3 that email would be similar, but it's not, it is much much worse. Is there any way to install the old mail app from the S2 on the S3?
I have tried the alternative email programs from the play store and I just don't like them.
Please help!
Thanks a million.

Enhanced Email...

I may not be correct, but.... I believe the GS2 used an email program built by Seven.
You may look and find an apk for Seven email+IM that should be similar. I personally cannot find a download link for it.
If you go their website, they do have a BETA Android program. http://community.seven.com/download.php Again, not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but may be worth a shot.
Edit: It appears they abandoned Android in the last year or something and the only client they currently are shown as making is the one for Hotmail's Android client. Sorry.

Gmail

Its just fine...

Another recommendation...
K-9 Mail is IMO a good email client. I don't know if it's one of the alternatives you tried and didn't like.
It's larger that Enhanced Email, but cheaper... (free)...
I'm new or I'd post a link to the Play store.
(I have no affiliation with K-9 Mail whatsoever.)

I'm going to try and push the SGS2 email.apk and exchange.apk later this evening. Please feel free to try it first if you have access.

I have been using Secure9 Mail for 6 months. And it has built-in encryption (if you want to use it).

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've tried all the free email apps on the play store and none of them really did it for me. Finally tried enhanced email too and that is a step in the right direction, hopefully I don't have any troubles from it.
p.s. I have the Gmail app, but I need to access my work email somehow.

Try touchdown by nitrodesk. It's one of the best

Only one I found I liked was Inomail,

What about the AOSP Google email? I think it looks great and works very well.

yea if you need to check an exchange acct at work I usually go between nitrodesk touchdown and moxier mail. One of those should be perfect for you I prefer touchdown really.

What is it about the stock SGS3 email app that you don't like?

do you have the apks for AOSP?

the rom NoAOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759245
uses the email client from google nexus; a user there said it was the only email client they've used on the S3 that allowed them to connect to their work email.
perhaps download that rom, open the zip with 7zip and pull out the email.apk and put it on your phone.
try to install it normally, if not you may have to copy it to system/app with root explorer (reboot afterwards)
might be worth a look

In the SGS2 email you could make it inverted and control font size from the app.
I pushed the old app every way i could. No joy. May try a flashable zip, but I can't see that making much difference... I guess it would have to be ported.

Best Messaging App.

Just wanted to share the best messaging app to date.

Its in the Play Store why you so hype?
Well I've spent countless hours trying to get a good sms app. I've tried them all Go SMS, Chomp SMS (Same Developers BTW), Handcent, AOSP Messaging, Etc... and they tend to get laggy at some point or lack group messaging or both. In other words i'm just trying to share my happiness.
You Welcome.

I would say facebook messenger would definitely be 2nd best in my opinion. I dont like the loading time on it besides that it is filled with features. Textra is just so quick and it just works. By the way anyone who likes the facebook messenger notification bubbles should look into Ninja SMS. Textra and Ninja SMS work great together.

Seems great. Am i just missing something though? The description in the play store says it is semi customizable. I don't see any customization options besides the color of the default icon when a message is received.
Edit: re read the description and everything makes sense now. I thought they had theme options and stuff. Oh well! I'm definitely keeping this app and waiting for their next update. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Just tried this, haven't found anything as good as Sliding Messaging yet though. It's got three different layouts and the emoji are so much better.

Just tried it and it missing a lot that handcent has. Customize options. Also does not have any themes to it. I think in a few months after a lot of feedback it might be good

We chat is cool with the audio messaging

Thank you for sharing. I actually installed it and it works so far so.good now. Group text is flawless. Much faster than stock Message app.

This kind of annoys me because I paid for Chomp.... Why not just integrate the features. Oh, I know! Let's make a new app to get more money if and when we make it a paid app.... Maybe?

I like sliding messaging.

I like the fact that it has emoji integration but the app itself looks hideous. It's attempt at trying to be holo looks like a crossbreed between sense and gingerbread. Nonetheless it works fine.

Differences between Textra and Chomp?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Textra seems like a simplified version of Chomp. With the swipe to return to conversation list. You can't change the colors of the chats.

Has anybody tried Invi?
