[Q] Gmail and saving attachment

Is there any way to save the attachment to your sd from gmail? Only thing it allows me is preview. Thanks.

I do this through the internet browser.
You may want to make a shortcut to gmail.

The other day I sent a word document and a PDF document to my gmail account from my work PC. I received it on my phone, opened up the email, clicked preview and it opened up with DocsToGo. Once it was opened I clicked menu>file and saved it to my SD card. Easy as that...

Usually at the bottom of the email there is a way to either preview of download attachment. I also believe it depends on what file type it is and if you have a file explorer that can handle it. Get Astro File Explorer and that should take care of your problem.

Files are usually pdf. downloaded full version of documents to go. View and save. Thanks for replies.

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

[Q] Import VCard?

I finally rooted my Evo, and I loaded this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364075 I love it. Only problem I am having is that I had someone send me a vcard contact through SMS / MMS. Message comes in with an attachment, but phone thinks it is a video? How do you import it in as a contact? Always came in simply as a contact on my old stock ROM. Is this a problem with all CM ROMs, or is it just the ICS one I loaded?

Download the attachment from your sms client, browse your sd card via file manager, check MMS for the vcard, move it to the root of the sd card, open the people [contacts] app, press menu, import/export.

Really? All those steps? No way to just click and open/import? Doable, yes, but odd there is not an all-in-one solution.

The 'all in one solution' would be to just to to people, hit menu and click import. I don't know if it'll detect it inside the folder so you need to move it. And you can complete that whole process in 30 seconds or less.

OK but how do I download the vcf attachment? When I click on it, it seems to attempt to play a video file... and after playing the video, there is no vcf file on the SD Card. I tried with the native SMS app and with HandCent. Same result.

You can either long press the attatchment or I believe while in the convo (using handcent) hit menu then save attatchments. Hope that helps.

Ok. I tried that in Handcent. There are 2 mms messages in the conversation. When I try to save the attachments, it says there are no attachments to save. I know I am not this big of a bonehead. I dunno.... I am sure I am missing something really simple.

So on /sdcard/handcent/download there was nothing in there?

Sure sorry about that.
Instead of making a backup with the browser (which is encrypted) I made a backup through titanium and uploaded it to my pc.
And then look for webview.db file.
Opened it with notepad.
A sqlite viewer didn't show anything.
And I knew when I had found what I was looking for.
Hope it helps somebody in the future.

I know this is an old thread but I hope you can help me..
i've made the backup with titanium, and found the data base folder, but i can't figure how to read the content, some text editors show me the text, but the password seems to be incomplete, or not showed correctly.
any idea how can i decrypt or read de sql format?

When you are reading the file from your titanium backup file it isn't encrypted.
All I did was open it in the standard NotePad app in windows 7. Everything was kind of jumbled but I could make out what I was looking for.
If you want, sometime tomorrow evening I can get a sample screenshot for you.

Here's what I did, and all of the data came in clearly as comma separated values, with no jumbled text:
Note: you do need the full version of titanium backup to view it this way.
- Back up Dolphin in "backup/restore"
- Long press on dolphin (in titanium) until the menu comes up, and tap "explore"
- Scroll down to [DATABASE] webview.db and tap on
password
- Hit OK and choose where you want to send the data (such as email), and a file will be attached with user names and passwords next to each other separated by commas.
Hope this helps.

webview.db doesn't show my passwords
I want to view all my saved passwords in Opera Mini for Andorid.
I got the webview.db file in /data/data/com.opera.mini.android/databases/ .
However, after viewing it in SQLite database, it shows no passwords saved (see screenshot). But the username and passwords are there typed on every login pages when I use the browser.
How do I view the passwords?

Pics in "Download" folder magically disappear?

Only happens on my wife's phone and not mine. She can download the pics from an email or text and after about 24 hours "poof" She just sees a black template for each one. Can't bring them up on PC and or QuikPic- You can see the templates in the Download Folder but no where else nor can you do anything with them other than delete. She is stock and its done this out of the box-
Thanks in advance for any help!

Anyone... thanks = )

Do the file sizes change?

Jut looked at her phone to verify and now the thumbnails are gone... I saved some more photos and will verify for you-
Also path is the typical... /storage/sdcard0/Download/NAME OF FILE.JPG
Thanks!

If she's plugging it into a mac (or any computer) it's probably set to auto copy then remove from phone.
Also check any apps that "sync" or auto-upload pics.

Just verified, she does not hook it up to any PC even the one at work... only charges off the wall.
Thanks

See if she's using any apps with her pics. Other than that just check to see if the file size is changing. It mostly sounds like something is moving/deleting the pics.

She was completely stock before last night putting the Quikpic on there to see if that program could still see them. Other than stock gallery and stock settings- I haven't found any setting within Gmail or Messaging or within Gallery or Settings that does anything weird to pictures unless I have missed something.
Thanks again for all of your help so far...

It won't be the gallery, you'd look to that for thumbnail problems.
Check if she uploads to facebook/instagram/etc.
If she does, HOW is she uploading? Web? App?

No uploading... she just keeps them in her Download Folder and eventually they turn into a black thumbnail template.
Whats funny is the ones that she moves to a folder (With a Category Name) no issue and they never dissapear... Only that folder...
I have removed everything and cleared up the directory and let the stock android file structure- re-create everything. its very weird...

Saving to a sdcard or internal?

Is the by chance a file in the directory called .nomedia I believe is what it's called? I get weird issues with pictures downloaded from time to time .I had the nomedia file deleted that and haven't had any issues with images since

.nomedia doesn't directly affect files. It's used to tell galleries/music players/etc not to bother reading the current folder. It will make stuff not appear in apps, but it doesn't touch files. There's no reason for that to be in a stock download folder, but never hurts to check.
Love the signature btw

Is she going into her "downloads" app in her app drawer and clearing that list out? I know I accidentally do that from time to time.
Try using File Manager to move them to external storage. Does she maybe have a cleaning app that clears out her downloads?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Alright so a little more info-
When she downloaded Quikpic to try and view the thumbnails the program actually removed them. So thats why the templates were deleted this time.
However, one thing is certain- The download is set to internal storage and the category folders are on the Micro SD.
So if she moves them to a category on the Micro SD they are fine and never turn into a black template/thumbnail. If she keeps them in the Download Folder however, they eventually turn to a black thumbnail ans stay there until maually deleted... its like the picture disapears and the thumbnail looses contact with the original file.
-Thanks again for everyones help so far... :good:

Will check this tonight... .nomedia thing-

Be sure to ask what thenewguy1 asked.
If all else fails, she can just install a download manager and have it intercept and save the pictures to a different folder.
Also, does this ONLY happen to pics? No other file types are affected?

Alright so some wild updates... may be onto something (She doesn't clear downloads and she doesn't have the no image file)
However... it happened again yesterday- Here is the scenario on how it occurs.
She has an email with a image in Gmail-
Saves the picture-
File is saved in Download Folder and visible within Gallery Download Folder-
She then takes the email within Gmail and moves it to a folder-
Several minutes later this happens to the image-
Blacked out thumbnail and the size and data or there but no image-
Unable to see it at all or explore for it-
It gets better, if she moves it back to the Inbox or where it was saved orig the image will reappear-
So in theory its like it saves the shortcut to the image and when the image is moved the shortcut defaults to blank template.
What causes this??? LOL Thanks = )

So she's saving from the gmail app? Or from gmail web?
She clicks on pic -> menu -> save ?
Is that how she's saving them?
In trying to simulate your problem, somehow my thumbnail cache got screwed lol, cleared through quickpic and it seems to be working fine, haven't seen it black out yet... for me it doesn't give me the save option, it shows me the picture, and if I check the folder or gallery, it's already been saved to disk.
Now gmails tripping lol
Try clearing data and see if this problem persists.

How is she saving it? I am also trying to replicate the issue. I am opening the attachment, hitting menu and save. I have moved the email but the image is still working fine. If she uses file manager to move them to another folder does it also corrupt the file? Is she somehow saving a link or shortcut? I am about lost

[Q] cleanup browser search history

Hi guys,
I have noticed I tend to accumulate a lot of search history when using the internet browser (stock)
I have a T-Mobile Stock (rooted) GS4 and want to find an app from the market, or anyplace,
that can clean the search history for me using one button execution.
All the "history cleaners" I have tried, say they cleaned history, but soon as I open the browser and type something the old searched items are still showing up.
I'd be most appreciative if someone could point me to the solution other than manually deleting each day of history searches!
Mahalo!

Try clean master the masterpiece according to me....

+1 to the above, and the other two previously mentioned don't do the job. Try searching for something and then close browser.
re-open browser and as soon as you touch the search line the same search item is there below!
Clean using the apps mentioned, and still they appear again... not working..... :<(
Is there anyone who knows of an app that will clean the search history?...........
Thanks tho, guys!

How about History Cleaner:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.eraser
Has a Browser history record erase option.
In addition, it has a Widget which you can setup and decide which files are cleaned:good:
I'd post a screenshot, but all of a sudden am unable to upload attachments from my S4 for some reason. Files won't attach.
The Playstore has images which show the Browser History option.
I use the app myself, in addition to a different browser which has the option to erase history when exiting.

I hear ya. Here's a partial description from tthe apps site:
"It's a history eraser for android device, and it can clean history of apps by only one tap. It's similar to the "ccleaner" on PC. It can help you to protect your privacy, and it can also help you to free up the internal storage. No root premission required!
Feature:
★Clear Browser History
★Clear Call Log
★Clear text messages
★Clear Market Search............"
Maybe if you contact the Developer, he can explain or offer a solution as to why the Browser History isn't being erased, even though the description describes this as a feature.
