In Gmail - how can I choose several emails in one go, to either delete them all or mark them all as read? Its bit frustrating to go throught the mails one by one... Any one knows how to do it?
You press on the tick on the left hand side of the message.
You press the MENU button while in GMail, and you get the option to delete a bunch in one go. I had this problem when I first used the Desire lol.
ok...
Thanks works great when I need to delete!
I still need to do it for those I want to 'mark as read'... there is no tick on the left!
Thanks

Either you are missing the obvious or you have some sort of messed up version of Gmail there's always been a tick on the left to select Emails, right from Android 1.0

I was using a different widget that has all mails alwaus open on the scene. Switched it now to the other u referred to.. works ok. Thanks
Slightly off topic, but related to this one.
Does anyone know how to multiple select email that has sync'd from Exchange? The standard mail app doesn't seem to offer this, or I'm going blind
Thanks

I actually decided to go back to the HTC mail widget as it gives notification for incoming Google mail... but its bit irritating as you cant choose several emails as in the above mentioned GMAIL app. Hope someone could figure it out!!
This is similar I use at moment:

There's no setup for it because it's push... probably much better for the battery than checking every x amount of minutes. You just get an email pushed to the phone when you get a new one.
That sounds cool... but how can I disable that for night time? When I got the phone there was a setup somewhere (lost it now!) where you can choose peak and non peak time updates - wonder if that can be used for Gmail?
Thanks
just turn the internet off at night time.
add the widget to the home screen and switch it to off when you go to bed.
from the home screen, menu>add to home>widget>settings>mobile data
So there's no way to select multiple/all emails for delete/'mark as read' using the HTC mail app?
I'd like to know this aswell, I havnt found a way either

no, i don't think the HTC Mail application does not give you an option to select many emails at once.
its silly really lol specially in the morning when I have around 12 rubbish emails from overnight

You can select multiple emails for deletion in the exchange mail app. Just select menu>delete and you then get selection boxes next to all your messages
Hey, I've been thinking of switching from the Evo to the Epic. I've been researching alot on the phone and it's problems. Will rooting the phone and removing Touchwiz get rid of the gps problems, the lack of email notifications, and the unresponsive back button? Or will I have to flash a new rom to get rid of that? And can anyone with an Otterbox post pics and how they like the case? Thanks for the help.
Rooting the phone won't add any capabilities other than increased permissions (namely root). You'll need to flash a new rom to really change anything.
I don't believe that any of the replacement roms make the gps location more accurate.
What lack of email notification are you having?
i saw on a couple video reviews that any email account other than gmail doesnt refresh itself or doesnt notify you when it does. that could very well be a settings thing, but the guy doing to review isnt dumb so i figured that it wasnt a settings thing.

yeah, the email app is not super reliable.... it will usually check and retrieve your emails, but not all the time. but there are 2 good email apps you can download from the market, K9 mail and Maildroid.... those are said to work much better than the stock email app. and yeah, the native Gmail app works perfectly.
i guess i could learn to get used that. but if im getting the phone, i need the front buttons to work and the gps too. the gps on the evo is great, always locks on and it doesnt take too much time
Email has always worked perfect up until the last few days. It will randomly stop syncing and I have to power it off and back on for it to fix the problem. Everything looks normal. It will not send or receive though.
Everything else seems to work except the email. It's already caused me quite a few problems with not getting messages in a timely manner.
Any thoughts.
I have experienced the same problem also... i kept wondering for few days why i am not getting any emails and than one day my battery died so when i rebooted i the phone my inbox got tons of emails from few days back... i wish to know the answer too
What email are you trying to sync? Hotmail?

hotmail and yahoo... both got backed up for few days... any ideas?
I'm experiencing the same for Gmail. Anybody know of a fix?

I'm having the same, or a similar, issue with Exchange mail. Randomly it won't bother to sync it on push until I open up the mail app. All my Gmail works fine, just this.
I may have found the problem. I took off my live wallpaper yesterday and put a standard one back on and my email hasnt quit working since.
I had the 3D Hyperspace Live Wallpaper, which I really like and hate to lose. I'm still monitoring it but I lost email pretty frequently until I went back to the standard wallpaper so there's a good chance thats the problem.
I'll update with results.
Some more info on my problem and my phone:
I have four yahoo email accounts and one gmail account. My yahoo accounts would stop syncing and nothing you could do would refresh them. Nothing would make them sync other than turning the phone off and back on.
My phone is rooted with sfhubs root which has worked flawlessly so far. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
Well I noticed my Hotmail stopped syncing around the time they made the official Hotmail app. I thought it maybe something on Hotmail side of things not allowing it to work but I guess not. I am not rooted and am all stock but the official Hotmail app works great so I just said forget the other one. Let me know if anyone finds a fix.

My gut feeling is that it stopped syncing because i was " clearing memory" from that inbuilt Samsung task manger... since i stopped using "clear memory" the email seems to sync properly ... maybe i am wrong ... i don't know...
Update:
It's been three days since I took the live wallpaper off. I had no problems for three days...
Until this morning. Email hadnt synced since last night. I had to reboot the phone and the emails came rolling in.
I'm going to put the live wallpaper back on and see how it reacts.
I found a fix that made it possible for push notifications to come through in realtime (for comments,tags etc.). I heard about that BlackBerry simulator solution and this is what i did : I downloaded a BB simulator (for 9300 series of phones or something...basicaly BB 7.0 or so). I logged out the FB app on Android, then i fired up the BB simulator/emulator and i I entered my facebook credentials in the BB's FB app and enabled "push notifications" and i also disabled all email notifications within the app. After that i logged-out and so FB push notifications started coming through immediately on my Samsung Galaxy Try it ,it freakin works! P.s.: i would love to know if it worked for you. And another thing, don't forget to re-login on the FB app on the Nexus and ENABLE NOTIFICATIONS in the Options menu (the first checkmark box just under "refresh interval". Every other things like Event Invite,Messages and Friend Requests don't come through via Push but via refresh interval. Everything else will work through PUSH

Thanks for pointing this out! I've had no issues with push notifications but people in a struggle may find this interesting. Muchly appreciated.
Duff link, you got the full one?

Did this a few months back and its worked for me ever since, on both my incredible and galaxy nexus. It's a shame this is even necessary though. There's so many poor quality apps out there that can handle push notifications, you would think facebook could get it down by now.

thanks so much for this, my girlfriends phone had notifications that pushed and it drove me nuts, i matched all her setting to mine and nothing, i cant believe it takes a blackberry lol. again thanks
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to see if anyone has been successful in turning off Photo sync. Not sure what Google are playing at but having a "compulsory" syncing arrangement does not suit me. Didn't have this issue with my last android device.
I go into Gallery > Settings and the Photo sync is ON option just wont turn off....
Anyway, a way to turn off syncing all together would be great, even contacts, not fond of being "forced" to do that either.
Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for your reply.
Nah ,as I said, didnt have this issue with my increadible s.
So yeah not real sure why I cant change that option. I think I mentioned that also.
Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks guys.
Have you been messing around with the Google+ app? Both of those options are in the app and can be freely turned off.
And like someone said, also in the sync settings.

Hey, thanks again. =)
No, I deliberately haven’t signed up to G+ because I have no use for it.
But yeah, It just wont enable me to turn off Photo sync in settings...
I have Accounts and Sync OFF all round but the phone just automatically syncs photos when I take a shot or anything....not sure where to and why...very frustrating....
Thanks again guys...
That is strange, I just tried testing it by taking a shot..nothing is synched/uploaded.
can you post a screenshot of your Sync setting & gallery setting?
Attached is my setting (I don't use G+ as well)
Maybe you should remove the account all together in the settings and then re add it and see what it does... I have G+(useless yes) and i can uncheck sync photos no problem... When i go online i don't see any pictures besides the one i uploaded myself on G+. hope that helps!

Well, if I remove the account, I can at least add contacts locally without being "forced" to sync, then I add my account and bam, no, you can add a contact with out in syncing with my contacts... Call me silly but I would like the "option" to sync things if, IF i want too....it seems I do not have the option here... =(
Vennstrom, I just want to say thank you for your time with this, and everyone else here also, in advance too. =)
Arm, I dont have the ticks on mine, none at all, no options to have on or off, appart from syning globally off but it seems to have no effect..that would be GREAT if it did... =/ whats wrong with my phone!!! =( I love the handset but if I just had the options to sync or not, I'd be a happy little camper let me tell you.
I cant even use the calender with an attached account and I "HAVE" to have one or no dice...so f'ing frustrating...why not a "My Calender" or "PC Sync" option like on my Incredible S....
Thanks again guys.
Please post the screenshot of your setting so we can help you figure it out.
What do you mean you don't have the tick??
Hey Vennstrom,
Yeah like no ticks for on and off. Sorry I havent uploaded any screenies...
I have just tried something though... I put my accounts and sync option ON for a moment...everything synced obviously but the ticks came up...wierd... I would assume if you have it OFF globally, it wouldnt sync AT ALL...but you must have to have it ON to turn induvidual settings OFF... Hasnt completly sorted my problem though... I'd still like a complete lock down on syncing...
The Calender is a worry, as in I cant just "display" my calender without it being chosen to sync also. I played around with that and turned it off and on in calender and what do you know...even though I had Calender sync OFF in settings....it still synced... A little flimsy if you ask me...
Its like you can have everything off...but if it wants to...it will just sybc anyhow...
P.S. I read somewhere if you root, you can delete the "sync.apk" and it will NEVER sync...could this be true??
Cheers.
Anyone?? = )

Hey.
I dont think a screen shot is going to help now really, as I have worked out how to induvidually turn the syncing option on and off. I had bigger questions that was all. The calender issue plus the flimsyness of the phone syncing when it wants to even though the user has turned "OFF" syncing...
My bigger questions were, in my previous post, totally lock down syncing and if I rooted if I would have more control over this, that was all.
Thanks to all that have replied and helped so far. Thank you. =)=)

i didn't look much at the calendar or photos but for contacts android just assumes every contact should be synced somewhere. That somewhere doesn't need to be google though. I did a lot searching but it seems there isn't yet an application to get just fake sync.
For contacts i'm thinking about writing a sync provider that just does nothing. That should be enough to get android to not sync contacts. Than again, i'm not sure if i should, because what i really want is sync with my pc and i likely end up not using and not maintaining the "no sync" provider as soon as i got a good way to have that sync without using cloud services...
I'd think for at least some of the other things (e.g. calendar) it's the same, android/gapps just needs some provider that pretends to sync and every thing is fire for them...
I wonder why it seems that nobody has yet started some project for using android with as minimal as possible private data on google servers...

Thanks for your reply.
Yeah it'll be cool if I could like...not sync at all. I just don't have the need for it. Its very disappointing that its almost compulsory now. Not having a stab but its almost an "Apple" approach. Haha. At least you have control over icloud, and that's saying something. Android supposed to be flexible and customizable to the end... Oh well, we'll sort it out. = )

turn it off like this, works for me after flashing a new ROM:
option#1:
- go to accounts & sync
- new account (Google)
- enter details and untick every option (backup, etc) on subsequent screens
- don't join G+
- after account is set up, immediately click on it and untick "photo sync"
- open gallery and make sure sync is OFF
option #2:
Remove Gallery and use Quickpic instead
Thanks for your reply!! I appreciate the info. = )
Yeah I thought that was the only way. Cool, gotcha.
I can't thank in the xda app!! I will when I get to my pc.
Wonder if there's a Google service you can disable...
This is probably 2 months too late but replying in case anyone else needed to know how to turn off photo sync.
Was having same issue as OP and wanted to turn off photo sync but could not find the checkbox anywhere. What you have to do is first turn ON sync settings.
i.e.
Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> On
Click on the google account. Only then will you see the checkboxes. If global sync is turned off the checkboxes will not appear. You can then proceed to uncheck "Sync google-photos". You can turn global sync back to off after this.
Return to gallery --> Settings and google photos sync should now show as OFF.
Hope this helps any other person who doesn't like to be told when and where to sync.
