Stock Email app in ICS

So I use the email client with my Comcast email account and everything works ok expect one thing. Maybe I am spoiled from HTC with there email app but I used to be able to select one email to delete. Then I would get an option to mass select all my other emails at once so I wouldn't have to check every single one at a time.
I don't see this option in ICS. I have to be missing it as I can't see this as an option they forgot to put in.

I recently noticed this also.

[Q] Email not loading any messages.

Would really appreciate some help on this one. Recently factory reset my phone and updated to the uvlde update. I noticed the email app had changed a bit. When i put my account in (an imap account) it wont load any messages. Im beyond positive that i have the right settings. I can send an email to myself even, but it won't show up on my phone. I hit load messages, cog spins for a second then it just stops. I hit load more messages . spins then nothing.... Any ideas? I've tried clearing data and putting the account back inane few times with no luck .

Just went to tmobile store. Tried out my email settings on an htc one... Worked just fine.... Tried them out in another gs2.... Same problem. you press refresh or load more emails... It tries and nothing happens. Im using an imap account. Any ideas? Really need email to be working, but seeing as we get ics june 11 maybe i should wait? Anyone have imap email working on theirs?

I can send emails but when I attach a pic they don't go through. What could it be?

Go into setting then accounts and sync then click on your gmail account and make sure email is syncing or you won't be able to retrieve new emails

Try going to the photo gallery and going to the pic you want to email then at the top there should be a button that let's you email it or press the menu button and email it that usually works for me

Its not gmail imap. Its my school email. Everything is set to sync anyways. Why gmail accoint recieves email fine, its my school imap.

I have seen this both the G2 and the SGSII. The stock email app and some email settings/policies do not play nicely. The work around seems to be download a different email app (such as K9 email) or forward your school mail to your gmail account that is hooked up to your phone.
Other than that, maybe the ICS update will fix it some how or another.

Yea im banking on the ics update... Heres something very interesting: Ive had to replace this phone once already for a different problem. The gs2 i had before this had a slightly different stock email app that worked with my imap fine. Difference was the stock email had settings that allowed me to select peak push times and like days of the week to sync most. This stock email app on this replaced phkne does not have those settings... As well as not having the imap work. Anyone notice that in their settings? That is... The push time options. Super weird that there coukd be two different ones ive encountered on the same phone..

JB facebook sync workaround

Okay this isnt a complete solution for jb but if you use Facebook for alot of your numbers then this will work for you. Unfortunately for now haxsync doesn't sync numbers just pics, statuses, etc etc so what i did was use an app called super backup: sms and contacts and backup contacts in an ics rom that supports fb sync then flash the jb rom and restore contacts with the same app. You should have them all and it actually makes them into regular contacts so you dont have to use fb anymore for them. If you want hq pics then use haxsync or any of the other fb picture sync apps

Nice find, I wish I saw this while I was still on ics. I made a post about this a few weeks ago but didn't get much input
Thanks

Np and hey you can just backup your current setup and then flash an ics rom that has fb sync and go back to the backup. Itll take maybe 30mins max but its worth it if you need the contacts like i do

I might just use my old sgs2. Sync the contacts there and copy over to my nexus

Another workaround:
I was going to start a new thread on this, but since it's my first post I feared getting flamed..
So, here's the best workaround that I've come across for phone number syncing for Facebook on Jelly Bean..
1. Go ahead and sync your facebook contacts by clearing the Facebook app cache and adding your Facebook account to your phone. It will ask you to sign in, and then it will sync contacts without phone numbers.
2. As you try to dial someone's number and you realize that it's on Facebook instead of Google, open up the Facebook app and search for that contact by clicking the "three horizontal line" icon on the top left.
3. The contact will have a phone icon next to their name if they have their phone number stored on Facebook. Go ahead and click the phone and it will bring their number up in the dialer.
4. On the bottom right of your dialer, click the "three dot" icon and select "add to contacts". You know what to do from there.
It's not the best solution, but it's the best i've seen so far. You won't have all of your contacts at once, but you can search for the ones that you know right off the bat, and then search for them as needed later on.

Thats a really long process lol i have over 300 friends so that would take forever. My process saves you alot of time and has the added benefit of turning the fb contacts into regular Google contacts.
Also haxsunc doesn't sync numbers so alone it was useless to me lol

All of your facebook contacts can be dialed directly from Facebook. So just keep them on the facebook app until you need to dial a specific Facebook contact, and then take the extra 2 seconds and save it to Google contacts before you dial it.
Plus, I'm sure everyone doesn't need that weird kid from science class from the 7th grade's phone number. This way you can pick and choose who to add as you need it.
Even if there is eventually a way to sync every facebook contact, i much prefer this method.

Thank you for the tip

Adding Appointments Using S-Voice

I need your help! Can someone please try to add a new appointment using s-voice.
My device is not allowing me to schedule new appointments using s-voice? I can edit or delete appointments, create tasks, set alarms, open applications, answer or decline incoming calls or even call & text contacts. I really like s-voice and use it regularly. However, the only command it won't perform is to add new appointments to the calendar. What I've done so far:
Changed and adjusted calendar settings and compared mine to other users/friends were the application does work.
Contacted Samsung who had me perform a soft reset by removing the battery and restarting the phone
Contacted Samsung who had me perform a hard reset and swipe the phone clean and start from scratch
Contacted Sprint who had me do another soft and hard reset.
Contacted Sprint who sent me a brand new replacement device
Contacted Sprint who had me again do a soft and hard reset.
Contacted Sprint who asked me to take the device into a corporate store tomorrow hoping someone there can diagnose the problem
None of these options have worked, and I still cannot add new appointments using s-voice.
Here is screen shot with the message I get when trying to add an appointment. Please help!

Thank you for responding. Do you use Google Now to add appointments? Can you screen shot this for me to see how you're doing so. I use Google Now for voice search of Internet information, but adding, editing, or deleting calendar items I was not aware Google Now had this capability?

Well, after spending up to 45 minutes at the Sprint store today I went away with a device that is still incapable of adding appointments to the calendar using s voice
However, once again Sprint didn't disappoint and agreed to send me now my third device. I should get it in two or three days and hopefully this one is the charm. Thank you to everyone who has responded, and done your best to assist me.
The issue has everyone at Sprint and Samsung puzzled, but other than the minor inconvenience of taking the old device to the post office to ship back, I'll keep pushing until I get a device that works.

With a special thanks to a new friend over at Android Central the problem has been found and corrected.
I had to create a new primary gmail account, and just like that I can now save appointments to the calendar. It appears the gmail account I always used as my primary account must have been corrupted in some way (I'm not sure how). Therefore, no matter how many phones Sprint sent me the result would be the same, because I always would use that Gmail address to set up the phone.
I am now using the new gmail account I created as my primary account, and the other one as the secondary.
Since all my applications, YouTube, and everything else is associated with the old account I now need to go through the really laborious task of redownloading my apps under the new account.
I feel bad about having Sprint send me another phone so I will contact them and cancel the replacement. Now I understand why the issue was unique to me, and followed me no matter which phone I used. Thank you all for your help! A special thanks to my new friend

What I've experienced and read is that S-Voice will save the appointment only to your local "my calendar." Google Now will save to your default Google calendar

Hey guys I've been following a few forums on this. It just doesnt make sense.
Anyways, I don't have a solution but I've discovered something that might help solve this from another angle.
S-planner seems to use the last calendar you created an event for. S-voice follows suit... so I'm able to get it to work with my primary personal gmail calendar and my primary google business apps calendar by temp creating an event in s-planner for one of them.
My problem is that I created an secondary calendar with my personal gmail account and share it with my wife as the family calendar. If I do the same in s-planner then try a new event with s-voice it fails.
I hope that gives you a new angle and maybe you can help me bc id really like the family calendar as the default..
Cheers!

Contacts question

So I send a lot of emails on Craig's List using my Gmail account. For some reason every email address I send an email to get captured by Gmail, and somehow ends up in my contacts list, and gets downloaded on my phone every time I sync after installing a new ROM.
Any Gmail experts know how to prevent this from happening?

I'm def no expert on that but seems like its more likely a setting in your gmail than your phone. Log in with your computer and look through the settings on there.
