[Q] How can I play a .mov file from the Gmail attachment? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello everyone, I tried the search button in these forums and the Google but I can't find an answer.
My friend sent me a movie file (.mov) from his iPhone. First I can't even download the file. In the Gmail application, the file appear as an attachment with no buttons. No save, play or preview button? Is this normal?
I know there is an application called "download all" to download the attachment. Is this the right move to do?
Also, after the download (if it succeeded) what is the best player to play this? Is it 'Mobo player" or "VLC player" or anything else?
Off note: My friend (another one) has a Nexus S with ICS and in the mail attachment he has "Save" button. Is this an ICS thing?
Thanks in advance...

Check your Gmail to see a paperclip icon. If you have it, then you will get the option to download the file. If you don't see the paperclip icon then no attachment was sent.
The .mov file can be played with moboplayer or mx video player. You will have to browse for the .mov file with "ES file explorer" or browse for it directly from within the video player app (mobo or mx).

I have the clip icon, but no option to download, save, preview out play...

It looks like you have the "conversation view" on in your gmail account. Click on the heading (next to the sender) that have the file you want and it should expand it.
To make it easier you can turn off the "conversation view" in your gmail account using your pc or the web browser of your Galaxy S2. Just Open Gmail, top right corner is a "cog wheel", hit it and go to mail settings, scroll down to "conversation view" and disable it, then save. Then just go back to your smartphone and try again.

I pressed "Show details" and it only shows the full email addresses of all the parties.

Not show details, click on name.
Or to make it easier you can use the "email" (not gmail) app. Just enter your email and password and you are good to go.
EDIT: Er nevermind the "email" app. There seems to be a file size limit, so may not work with big video file.

I installed mobo player pro and the problem is fixed if I use the internet version (gmail.com). It downloads the file and then plays it. Still, the file attached doesn't show a save or preview in the gmail application...

No images in my email...why?

Everytime I open an email with images the only thing that shows are the X's to where the images are. How do I make the images show when I open an email. I want to read it the way I would see it on the PC.
My BB 8900 showed the images as long as I clicked on show images. High Tech Computer phone should be having these problems.
I think It's bacause pocket oulook doesn't support HTML. IMHO
Even if I'm using GMail and AIM mail?

Huh? POutlook supports HTML just fine!
I had the very same problem a while back on my TYTNII, I got round it by installing Schap's Advanced Config and setting the Proxy Auto Detection from disabled to enabled under Internet Explorer settings.
Schap's Advanced Config can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
I downloaded it and did what you said. I even did a soft reset and I re opened my email and the images still don't show.

Did you retry downloading the images in POutlook? Does Internet Explorer work OK? I found that Internet Explorer wouldn't download images corretly when POutlook wasn't working... That's how I found they were linked.
Daft question - you have got POutlook settings set up for HTML and to actually download the message and not just the header haven't you??
I have no idea what you are talking about. All I did was set up my Gmail and Aim email on the device. No images are showing in either accounts. I never set up an POutlook or whatever that is.
Do you get an image placeholder [x] where the image should be? Do you also get a notification bar at the top of this message?

Mesquire,
Yes that's exactly what I see when I open up my emails.
Are you able to click on "Internet pictures blocked" to download the images for your email?
Never tried actually, but what if I can and what if I can't?
If you can: the behaviour is by design
This is similar to Microsoft Outlook/Outlook Express/Vista's Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail - images embedded into a HTML email are blocked initially.
So how do I get it to work correctly? Is your HTML blocked?
Anyone else HTML blocked?
Just tested using Gmail's IMAP access. Embedded images are blocked, as usual, with [x]. Click on "Internet pictures blocked" and images are downloaded to show the HTML email in all its glory.
Yeah I just checked and it's all good now. Thanks!

Cerberus to Dropbox

Found this little tutorial and works wonders. I like having direct access to images/video taken from my devices, even if I can't access my email. Also Dropbox has that new "instant" feature they just rolled out, so give this a try http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/viri8/cerberus_to_dropbox/
Visit www.sendtodropbox.com and connect your Dropbox account, then you will be given a unique email address [email protected], save the email address.

}
Make sure you have these settings setup for the next step
Head to gmail and go to settings….forwarding and POP/IMAP…click on add forwarding address….use the email you were provided with earlier from www.sendtodropbox.com
In your Dropbox account you will have a plain text attachment with your conformation code to activate the forwarding of email.
Now head over to filters and create a new filter
The label setting is optional, but make sure you have the "forward it to" checked and select the email address you added earlier
Your filter should look like this
Finally head back to www.sendtodropbox.com and save these settings, you can arrange the "attributes" and "save to" as you please…hit save settings
Now head over to www.cerberusapp.com and test that it works, I just did send test message and upon dismiss it takes a pictures, then my Dropbox syncs the image.
Also Cerberus has a new beta https://www.cerberusapp.com/Cerberus_2.3beta.apk
adds these features:
Stealthy photo/video capture
There is a new "Transparent" option for the "Screen color" setting in the app configuration. When it's selected, if you send a "Take picture" or "Capture video" command from the web dashboard, checking the "Take picture/capture video immediately" option, you should not see anything on the device while Cerberus captures the photo/video.
SMS command to enable data roaming
The syntax is "cerberus yourpassword enableroaming", it should work only if Cerberus is integrated into the ROM.
Put call on speakerphone
When you open the test dashboard (link below), you'll see a new "Put on speakerphone" option in the "Call phone" command. Checking that option should make Cerberus enable the speakerphone and make the call. This could be useful to draw attention on the device if you lose it, other than the the alarm siren.

Though the SMS/Call function is best for smartphone, the stealth photo capture is cool

[Q] Default app to choose a contact picture?

For awhile, whenever I would touch the contact picture while editing a contact, my phone would let me choose which program I used to browse for the picture. I have somehow made gallery the default app for this. I hate this because I prefer to use ES File Explorer. I have tried clearing the default app option in both ES File Explorer, Gallery, and contacts. No dice.
Any Suggestions?

I reads your note and understand you said you tried, but maybe not like this:
try going to settings/More/Application manager
select ALL on the separator line and scroll down to Gallery
Tap on Gallery and go down to the clear cache. Tap on that.
Than go lower to the Launch by default and tap on clear defaults.
reboot and see if it works.
if it still won't, the next thing to do is a factory reset. It's really not all that bad to do.....
Aloha and good luck!
Tried that again with the reboot, but no change. I did just get this phone, so a factory reset wouldn't be very painful, but I'm not sure I'm Annoyed with the problem enough to go to that length.

Are you on 4.2.2 or 4.3? If on 4.3, long press Home button to open, then choose the Recent app button (bottom left), then look for the Clear Defaults tab. Should look like this:

[Q] How to create home-page folder?

I see a nice Google folder on my home page but nowhere do I see any way to create new ones.
Has anyone figured out how to create new folders on the Home?
Long press does not yield this option like it used to.

Found some info
Inm the online manual found here http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...8/SM-T800_UM_EU_Kitkat_Eng_Rev.1.0_140530.pdf
This does not appear to work on some devices (of course after posting this I must have got some sort of update or a service installed because its now working as intended)
Creating a folder
1 On the Classic Home screen, tap and hold an app, and then drag it to Create folder that
appears at the top of the screen.
2 Enter a folder name.
3 Tap , select the apps to move to the folder, and then tap Done.
Instead you have to do it from the Apps Drawer.
Tap the 3 dots in the top-right corner to get this menu then when you have created the folder, long press it to add it to your Home.

If your rooted than use
"Root Explorer"
: Navigate to folder/file or make a new folder/file
: now long hold on the folder/file you created and near the bottom of the menu you will see "create shortcut" and tap it.
: now back out to your home screen and you should see the folder/file

On a side note, does anyone know how to delete a home screen?

Pinch on the screen and you should see all of them in preview then slide up to remove ones you don't want.

Create Live Messages (Galaxy Note 8 feature) with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 T820/T825

Actually the Feature was for the Galaxy S8 (+).
Thanks and Credit the Developer:
Sir mweinbach Senior Member.
Original Thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/how-to-install-live-drawings-note8-root-t3668023
First you start the download of the 3 Apks, from the following links.
Samsung Keyboard Apk:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...sung-keyboard-2-1-02-42-android-apk-download/
Samsung Live Messages Apk:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ung-live-message-1-2-11-android-apk-download/
Samsung Messages Apk:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...sung-messages-4-3-03-21-android-apk-download/
Now you go in the Settings on Device Security and activate the Safe Start. Forgive a Pin and restart the Tablet. If you have already activated Safe Start, disable it and reboot the Tablet.
As strange as that may sound.
After the Reboot you will install the
3 Apks.
Now you go to the Search Bar in an App of your choice and when you open the Keyboard you can already see the Heart Shaped sign of the Live Message, to the left of the Space Bar.
See Screenshot.
Creating a Live Message works in any App that has a Search Bar. Simply tap the magnifying Glass Icon and then select the Live Message Icon on the Keyboard.
Create a Live Message, then click Done.
Wait for 100% loading.
Then use Send, select the Messenger or any other App offered in the Menu that appears, with which you want to share the Live Message.
Or Select the Contact you want to send a Live Message to.
It is not currently possible to send a Live Message with a Messenger directly from the Message Field of a Contact.
It already works with a Messenger, but only through the Search Bar.
So the Live Message has to be created in the Search Bar. (Messenger)
If someone has an Account like here in XDA,Android Help, Android Pit etc.
Can in the "Quick Reply" Section, where someone for a Topic Post or a If you want to create an Answer, also create a Live Message.
Thanks to the developer mweinbach (XDA).
This one gave me the Idea. To create this Guide.
So I experimented a bit and that's how this Guide came about.
