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
The facebook pictures for my contacts used to show up on the stock messaging app, but after restoring a nandroid it doesn't anymore. This is also the case with other messaging apps, so I don't think it's related to the app.
Is there any way I can make messaging apps show contact pictures again? (the contact pictures are still there btw - checked the dialer)
Have you checked if your FB account is still linked and set to sync? If yes, try removing & re-adding it. If all else fails, try linking contacts manually.
I'm not sure about the stock app, but is there a part in the menu that you need to tick to show contact pics?
You could also check your accounts and make sure that the facebook sync is turned on etc. I'm just throwing ideas out by the way, I'm not really sure lol.

Ah, I didn't try the obvious one. The account was still linked and was set to sync, but I deleted and re-added my facebook account and now it's working.
Thanks for the help guys . I should have tried this before posting a new thread here, my bad!

I thought this was going to be a more serious problem but all I had to do was re add my facebook account thanks for the help!
thank you so much. I was searching for a while, but turns out to be a simple fix.
i had the same problem and i have managed to fix it by this way, thanks.
however i have another similar issue which i couldn't fix until now. even if sender's facebook or profile picture seems, my own picture doesn't seem at the conversation.
is there anyone who managed to overcome this problem??
I'm having this "odd" problem too.. however I do have facebook sync-ed (similar to leventmann i guess)
The problem appears to be that the messaging app thinks the contact comes from the SIM (thus lack of profile pics).
Short of deleting the contact form SIM, i've managed to 'trick' the phone into using the facebook/google contact by fiddling around with area codes.
However, whenever I have the contact pic, I then get this "ugly" extra (M <mobile numb>) appended to the name:
ie.
John Doe (M 1234567890): blah blah blah
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which I guess is 'ok', but it just takes up so much space in the message itself (even more so with the new Sense 3.0 messages having an iPhone-like look with messages being left/right speech bubbles)
At first I thought it was because the contact had 2 mobiles associated with the account, so removed (unlinked) one of the mobiles, but problem still exists.
Any ideas on how to keep the contact pic but remove (M xxxxx) ?
Also, is there a way to get the original htc messaging style back? (Sort of like the one you see if you go to "Persons -> <contact> -> Messages"; a basic list of the messages where sender/recipient avatars are on the left...)
I've got a bunch of my contacts "linked" to their FB accounts, but for some reason their pics are all pixelated, I'm currently using RCMix's ROM.
When I was using SGBS ROM the pics weren't all pixelated.. anyone else have this problem?
I don't think it's specific to the ROMs mind you.
hmm, no dno't have problems with pixulated FB pics, when I do manage to get the to display they display fine.
Small update...I've noticed something that may be part of the cause of my problems... in the "People" application the SIM numbers/contacts are not shown (I chose to not view them). However, when I open 'Phone' (to dial someone) I see the SIM numbers/contacts!!!
I vaguely remember seeing this in another thread (shall go digging for it later) but wondering if anyone reading this thread knows how to fix it?
Thanks!

I have changed my ROM from Starburst Froyo to Cool VisionS and i can see my own profile picture now after creating a Google profile with picture.
However now i have this problem above. Pictures are pixelated and i am not sure if it is because of ROM. Another suspicious point is : Before i had "Facebook for HTC Sense" in the settings for syncronization but now in this ROM i have only "Facebook" to syncronize. Do you think it can be related to one of these reasons?
Yes, i found the solution for pixelation problem (at least for my situation)
When i tried to add account for syncronization (under settings - accounts&syncronization) i noticed that there is also "Facebook for HTC Sense" which requires another login process.
Use this account for syncronization and remove simply "Facebook".
It fixed pixelation problem
That did indeed fix the pixelated picture problem for me as well.
The pictures for my contacts in the messaging app are missing though, aside from the few that I have setup to use a picture on my SD card.
have you ever done "fix permissions" from CWM?
permissions's related problem.

I have exactly same problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
I've tried to save my own number to contacts and linked it to my own facebook, but the pic just wont show up? I'm using CM-3.7 rom.
I am experiencing the same issue under stock 2.3.3, from time to time (in a SMS thread, my contact's picture is shown as default). The only solution i've found for this is to open my contact's details and re-add my custom picture.
I can't even find my own contact profile from the phone? Is this someting to do with CM-3.7 ROM or am I just blind? In the stock ROM, it was first at the contactbook, but after I installed the ROM I haven't seen it anymore.
The HTC Mail app really has a tough time sending emails, especially ones with attachments.
Are there any tutorials around about the settings, smtp, and other settings. It seems like the outgoing settings are messed up but I cant seem to figure it out.
Thanks for you help!
I'm assuming that there was a typo in the thread title. If not, You shouldn't use the HTC mail app for gmail stuff. Use the gmail app for that. As for it having trouble, I've never had trouble with it. I suggest clearing off the accounts, and re-setting them up. Don't try to get into any advanced settings; just follow the prompts to enter username/pass, and "proceed" and "next" when prompted.

The thing is, I cant send attachments via the Gmail app. Only pictures. I need to send songs(in various formats), documents, pictures, etc and I can only send these with the stock HTC Mail app. I dont like using apps from the market in place of apps i already have...just a hang up i have.
anyway, i think ive gotten it to work but im not sure how. i just kept messing around with it then i was able to send an email with a 10mb audio file attached.
hopefully whatever i did will stick...
thanks
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but in the hopes that they are, I'm posting this. For some reason, I'm not getting any notifications for push apps. Specifically for me, its Gmail, Google Voice, and FB Messenger. The apps aren't even syncing. I have to manually go into each app and tell it to sync.
I've had Gmail and GV sync for a little while after a ROM flash, but it never lasts more than a half hour or so.
Any ideas?
Not sure what rom u are using, or if you are using titanium to restore apps... but try settings>apps>gmail (or other apps) and choose to clear data, NOTE: you will have to re-sync accounts by going to settings>accounts and sync and enter ur info. your contacts will disappear for a short time while it re-syncs. its worked for me on previous devices after flashing a new rom, not sure if it will work here....
Check what kind of Internet connection you have: settings>wireless&networks>more>mobile networks>acces point names. The one working is net.
Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue.
I tried moving the gv app to /system/app but it didn't fix it.
Make sure you aren't disabling sync via the power widget.. it sounds obvious but it happened to someone

Similar problem here as well. Google Talk only seems to give me a notification when I turn the screen on. Just got my gnex last week and running stock jb now (only rooted).
Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster. I've tried searching for this topic, and those threads the touch on it all stop short of my issue. Please let me know if this is covered somewhere else.
My gmail stopped syncing since I've flashed Darkside Evolution Beta03 (otherwise it's great). I've tried clearing the cache and the data under manage applications as well as made sure that gmail is checked on the sync menu, but still no dice.
It used to be that my phone would beep whenever I got a new email before it even showed up on my desktop, but now I have to manually hit refresh for the app to see it at all, let alone before my computer.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I tried this and no dice. It's still not syncing. I suppose I could always revert back to Juggernaut 5.0, which is what I was running before this, but it would be such a shame for what seems like a stupid reason.
Anyone else with thoughts?
Did you try to go to the accounts option and check the sync gmail?

Yes, I tried this, and it did not work. The only time it syncs is if I actually tell it to sync. There is nothing automatic about it ...

hmm try a fresh flash?
Did you by any chance turn sync off by accident

I've been in that forum since day one and have never heard of this issue. Of course I may have missed a post or 20. I suggest not going back like u said, for such a stupid reason. I think ull really enjoy the rom. Reflash cuz that shouldn't happen. I doubt you need to reflash but instead of nitpicking what it could be I'd just super wipe and start over. Good luck.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Thanks to both Teo032 and bzlik88.
I don't know why, but I just reflashed everything, starting from scratch, and it all seems to be working fine. It was the weirdest thing.
Coulda just told your Google account to sync with Gmail XD
