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?

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.
First off, I'd just like to mention that I did not write this OP. I saw it over in the: xda Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games section originally posted by K Dotty. All credit for this hack/mod shoud go to (her?).
I just wanted to post it up here so that everyone in our wonderful SGSII section can take advantage of this awesome promotion before it's over. I did this myself and can confirm that it's: quick, painless and works flawlessly. Reboots and all; this whole process took me about 5-6 minutes. Hope this works for all of you, and if you need help or have a question about this please do just ask (but search the thread first).
*Random Side Note*
It does mention a backup in K Dotty's post, but I just thought I'd take one more quick opportunity to remind everyone to MAKE A BACKUP of your build.prop before you begin any of this. And in case you're wondering, I used a root explorer to edit mine (ES File Explorer to be exact).
--------------------------------------------------
OP:
I've seen this guide in various places but i thought it would be most useful in here. I have searched to see if anyone has posted this here but found nothing.
Basically Box.net are offering 50GB online storage (normally 5GB) to anyone with an LG or Xperia phone. If you dont have any of these phones you can still benifit from this offer by quickly editing your build.prop.
What you need:
- Rooted phone
- A way to edit your build.prop - build.prop editor, root explorer, etc.
- box.com app
First open your build.prop using yor prefered method and edit these two lines to look like this (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST):
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
Save, reboot.
Open the box app and register for a new account and you should receive a 50GB account.
This offer ends on the 31st of december so make the most of it.
Dont forget to restore your original build.prop after.
Post a link to this thread wherever you can so everybody can make the most of this offer!!
Hmm thanks, this worked for me no problem. Can't say no to 50gb.

Hey 50gigs is 50gigs. Definitely more than enough for collaborating on projects and trivial file storage. I mean it's no HD replacement, but it's free and imo better than Dropbox or SugarSync. I think of it like an extra large flash drive that I never have to remember to grab on my way out (or forget it and leave it somewhere, lol).
Tried to edit build prop, but doesn't save. What can i do to fix that?

Use ES file manager and go into your setting/preferences and scroll all the way down and just click on the options to "open as writable" it'll ask you for root permission and presto.
I had that same problem with astro and root explorer along with ES until I saw that option.

A cool thing you can do with the Box account is make a network drive on your PC so you can easily access it like a folder on your comp.
1.My computer
2.Tools
3.Map Network Drive...
4.Choose the bottom link that says "sign up for online storage or connect to a..."
5.Choose another network location
6.In the box paste in box.net/dav and click next (Put in the standard http// and www infront of the box.net/dav. I just cant post the full link because im a new member.)
7.Put in the 50gig Box account you made, login and name the drive.
Thats it, now you can easily access your 50gigs on the comp also.

1. From your Desktop, right-click on My Computer and select Map Network Drive, or from within Windows Explorer, choose Tools and then Map Network Drive (these options may differ from Windows XP or Windows 7)
2.Choose the bottom link that says "Connect to a web site that you can to store your documents and pictures".
3.Add network location screen will pop up click next, till you see a screen that says "specify the location of your website"
4.Inter http://www.box.net/dav/ into the box that says "Internet or network address"
5. click next, give your folder a name and your set to go.
Hey, I'm glad everyone else is pretty stoked about this also. You can never have too much storage (I was on the same page as AllGamer and used multiple accounts, lol). I'm glad that I could share this with everyone.
Also, I doubt that box.net will "get wise" to this. If they are not as popular as other big cloud services (ie. sugarsync and dropbox), and they're using a promotion like this to boost business. They we're probably hoping for/expecting a large number of new users. So lets give 'em what they're lookin' for!
Wow. That was easy. Much appreciated.

my mogul died.. but i had connected my new phone to my computer and it auto sync'd my contacts...
im missing a few people... so i emailed a bud to txt me his #..
he did... so i added him to concacts from there...from the txt..
well when i click on contacts on my main screen.. i search for him and he is not there..
anyone know what is going on.. well the real question..
what am i doing wrong or not doing right...
Please stop calling it "the droid", it's a galaxy s2 running android. Either you didn't save it or didn't enter it right in the contacts. You can also look and add contacts online through your Gmail accout.
Wow dude, relax with the hostility, he don't know yet
You probably saved the contact to your phone contacts. Make sure you save contacts to your Google contacts, let me know if you need anything else

Im sure if it was saved to phone it would still show up in searching.
Im leaning more to the contact didn't save.

Is your friend's name the same our similar to anyone else's name in your contacts?
Google will combine contacts that it thinks may be related. For example, if you have two contacts, one Bob Smith and one Robert Smith, they will end up combined.
Check any contacts that are similar to your friend's name. Edit the contact, and scroll through it and see if he's there. If he is, Tao the menu button and separate the contacts.
He will then become his own contact.

nope.. last name mintel.. if i searched my phone for mintel I saw none.... that is inside the contacts icon located on the bottom of my home screen...

so i added him in contacts as he was already in text.. i dunno.. more messing around i guess..

If you start dialing the number in your dialer, does the name come up in the auto complete? Is it the correct name?

Loaded up Pocket, which seems really nice, even has a desktop client I can use. Stores the encrypted file on dropbox and can sync between the two.

At work, IT uses keypass for all of their secret data so I have that on my phone too and and I keep the database synced up with a file syncing program.

2. app asks for email address
3. user types in email address or selects email from list of last-used addresses
4. app asks "Are you sure?" with suitable warning
5. app writes selected email address to following regkeys:
Code:

but you can revert it back, right?
The new LiveID could be associated to a different market zone, which you could use to buy some apps with your correct credit card infos, then revert back to your main LiveID, and regain all regular functionalities like auto uploads to skydrive, twitter integration, etc.
Am I right?

I'm so sorry but I can't confirm - just never tested this way. I've researched that hack 'cause damn Verizon blocked and deleted my very-very old email ( @verizon.net) what I've used during 11 years, and also as my LiveID email.
Wow dude thanks for writing the app so quickly. What is the etiquette for sharing apps? Are you supposed to share source code too? I don't want to be rude by asking you for the source
I don't use twitter, but I was able to upload a photo to skydrive just fine after swapping LiveID's. Steps:
reset my phone with my own liveID
download bunch of apps from appstore
dev unlock/interop, etc
manually edit registry and change to my wife's LiveID (she has zunepass on her ID which is why I wanted to swap to hers)
reboot phone
take picture
upload to skydrive
login to skydrive app and see that picture is there on *my* skydrive account, not my wife's
So skydrive integration with picture hub/camera obviously stored my liveID and credentials somewhere other than the regkeys I edited. Most likely Twitter is the same way.
I presume the credential data is stored encrypted in some weird GUID key with no obvious pattern. Too bad there is no regmon/procmon tool like on Big windows, otherwise I could figure it out in a few seconds... Although somehow I doubt that you can use provxml to import export those keys to re-write encrypted credentials. That would be a pretty bad exploit.
So I ran IDSwitch and it gave me the error "no root access". Hmm. So I went into WP7 Root tools and switched on "trusted" for the app.
So a pre-requisite for running the app is to have WP7 root tools? I'm kinda new at this so perhaps that is an assumption of any app that is going to do interop/native stuff? In order to get it to work you have to set it to "trusted"?
Anyway the app let me type in the new liveID and rebooted the phone, but upon booting up, it appears that the old LiveID is still there in the 3 registry settings. I ran it a second time and the app remembered the address I typed in so thats cool. BUt again after rebooting, it failed to modify the registry entries.
Can you post up a debug version with some breakpoints or console spew? I could try to attach a debugger on my end (not sure I know how to do that, but I can try to figure it out)

I uploaded the source. Should make things much easier
I tried it on Samsung Focus Mango updated with WP7 Root Tools. Even though it reboots but it does not change the primary id. After reboot when I open the app again, it shows the primary id as the old id and not the id to which I wanted to switch.
Found the bug. I used the content from to current ID textbox not the new ID textbox -.-
I guess nobody tested it or I am getting a different result. Here is what happens :
1. ID A which is primary ID in my Account with No CC.
2. I switch from ID A to ID B. ID B does not have a CC.
3. When I access Marketplace, The region used is according to ID B.
4. Next I Move to buy an App and it asks me to signin with ID A instead of ID B.
5. For free apps, I can easily download it without going to login page ever which is pretty obvious.
Today Evening I will try out to buy app by signing with ID A when it sends me to login page of ID B by first sigining out and then signing again.
Few things I noticed :
1. Facebook, Twitter, Skydrive all was working.
2. It takes a while for the OS to realize the ID is new and hence may take around a minute or more to change marketplace.
3. I downloaded a free app with the swtched id and used it without any issues.
4. I even updated a free App which was bought using the primary ID with the new ID.
5. Email ID A stopped working. It did not show any email nor it gave an error of wrong password which is pretty odd.
My Thoughts :
1. This will be useful for parents who have kids carrying a Windows Phone who do not want to give them credit card access but using this they might buy apps for kids.
2. I still need to test but this will work for IDs which are in same region. For example I have a US id to which if I want to add a CC, the country is fixed and hence I cannot use an Indian CC with it.

2. It takes a while for the OS to realize the ID is new and hence may take around a minute or more to change marketplace.

Try to reboot after LiveID change.
Just tried it out and it worked. The file was uploaded to Skydrive account of the primary Live id.
Wait... What "primary Live id" and what are you tried? New one or the old one? Have you tried:
- change LiveID to new one
- reboot handsets
- go to pictures hub and share picture to the SkyDrive ?
When I said Primary Live Id I mean the ID with which the phone was configured.
1.Phone configured with ID A
2. Change to ID B using the app, Reboot
3. Upload to Skydrive and it was stored in ID A Skydrive Account.
He-he, it's exactly what I mean by "not working". For example if you change first (original) LiveID email to the new one (as I had to do), you'll be not able to upload pictures to SkyDrive, and can't login to the Twitter account. So please do not confuse people.

Oh Ok I understand now what you said by breaking. The new ID cannot be used for Skydrive or Facebook or Twitter etc in short, anything connected with old Live id.
Basically its not a true switcher and can only be used to buy apps with the new account connected with CC
Hi all
The whole idea of this app is JUST to let you assign an account that will give u the ability to buy apps from marketplace using CC, if your original ID have problem with adding CC information. So it is not to change you ID permanently. You can read my thread if u want. Anyway thanks op for making the app.
I can confirm this works. Just bought an app using a different account and it works. Editing a video on this so will be up in couple of hours.
As promised, Here the link to the video we made http://youtu.be/2H7dr7ZzJZs
