I just got the phone and noticed that when I am in the main screen that shows the email accounts there is circle that keeps spinning all the time on the top right. The spinning circle is located all the way on the top right of the screen where the dark blue line is. Does this have something to do with the phone trying to synch.. because it almost never stops spinning.. can this be a glitch draining the battery and data usage?
thanks

You can post this in the Captivate Glide section.
Anyways I see what you mean and I think this is normal as I see the spinning too, I believe it just means that email is set to auto sync. This should not drain your battery more then just getting email. Of course turning off auto sync will save your battery but what is the point of having a Smart phone if it does not sync with your emails?
could be just a glitch.. hope it doesnt drain battery or data usage.

glitch or not, the email app is running as a service application. the battery drain depends on the duration of checking emails in your account settings. mine is set every 15 minutes and i have 3 email accounts. even so, the email app does not use that much power....
Agreed I am checking 5 email accounts and no issues. Is their a limit on how many email accounts you can setup?
Currently I have:
1. Gmail account.
2. Yahoo account
3. Hotmail account
4. Internet service provider's account
5. My domain's account

when I first set up my email(s) on my first samsung android device, I read upon the set-up wizard that you can put up to 10 email accounts. No idea if that changed....
Thanx Gabby131 Good to note, but I already think 5 is more then enough so I will not be testing this out.....

The email app used to display all the colors and formatting (such as table) perfectly. But it doesn't now.
I have done 3 things before I noticed this change. (1) applied the 4.1.2 OTA, (2) did a factory wipe/reset, (3) rooted. I did (2) for the sake of starting clean which I so regret now. I doubt rooting has anything to do with it. I'm guessing the OTA changed the email app behavior. If anyone has any clue, please help. Thanks

I found the reason. There's nothing wrong with the email client. It just doesn't display formatting for emails it searches and fetches from the server. If it's an email that's sync'd to the phone already, it displays the formating fine.

Facebook chat has always been a bit quirky, you would occasionally miss a message or two. But recently it no longer pushes you the messages. You can still send the messages, but you have to go online to see the replies and it is useless this way. It is also the case with my Windows Phone 8, so there might be something related to Facebook not being too friendly with Microsoft. Any similar experience?

You posted in the wrong section, this is the Development and Hacking section.
Edit: Thanks mod for moving this thread.
I assume its been moved as it says windows RT general here....
Facebook chat has always done that for me on my system since I got windows 8 in November. Not once have I received a message or had any acknowledgement that I sent one without having to restart the app entirely.
Hey guys so i had 2 of my yahoo accounts synced with the stock email app and it worked fine for a few days than all of a sudden it kept saying sign in fail and incorrect password when the password was infact correct. If i delete the accounts and readd them i log in and sync all my emails but the next time it goes to update it says sign in fail again....really annoying, any idea what is causing this? Had no such problems on my S3.
Im running everything stock right now. Thx for the help!
anybody?? am i the only one with this issue?
Yes I believe it has to do with the yahoo servers. Annoying.
anyway to fix it? it didnt happen on my s3...

Apparently it is happening to everyone but not sure. It would be nice if someone else came in and confirmed.

I'm having similar isssues with Yahoo. It will dingdong telling me the same thing, that it cannot load. But it seems to work ok after closing error message. And it does not do it all the time. I don't want to download the Yahoo app because seeing as how I cannot register my gmail account in the native app at all, I'd have to use three separate email apps to see all my email accounts. I also have a juno email account which works fine.
bump until someone decides to enlighten us
Happened to me too but when in wifi it works fine. But I haven't seen it do it in a while.

Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange kind of technical problem with the xda forum: I'm not regularly receiving the email alerts for all the threads I'm subscribed to (I'm actually subscribed to 164 different threads). This happens since my registration to the forum in 2014.
I strangely receive only some notifications and quite rarely, and they are about only some of the threads I'm subscribed to, this despite the fact that most of these 164 threads subscriptions are set to "Daily" notifications on my settings.
Those notifications seems to be sent to me randomly (I'm suscribed to those threads in the same way that I'm subscribed to the other ones, and I never actively posted on most of those threads).
I've double checked the settings on my user panel, and my e-mail spam filter is totally ok.
Is there by chance a maximum number of email alerts from subscribed threads that an user can receive?
Do you guys have an idea about why this could happen?
Do you think that it would be possible to contact someone of the forum staff in order to ask for technical help?
Thank you in advance!
W.
I've made a change to your account. See if you get any notification emails now?
Thank you for your reply, the_scotsman. Unfortunately nothing changed and auctually I didn't even receice a notification for your answer to this post as well (I've just discovered it by visiting the post manually).
I did a quick search and it appears that other users did experience the same problemin the past/are experiencing it.
Do you have an idea about how we could try to fix this problem? It would be very helpful for me.
Thank you very much again,
W.

Hmmm....that's strange.
I wonder if @MikeChannon has any ideas as to what the problem might be?
I can't see anything wrong with your user account settings. Let's see if he has any suggestions.
This time I just did regularly receive the email notifications about both your reply and the quote, but the system for example completely missed your first reply on the 24th of August, and, as an example, the same did happen with my followed threads that I'm subscribed to (with daily notifications): during the last week I did receive only 2 email notifications instead of 11. These 2 notifications are about threads that the system seems to always notify me about, while I never received any email notification about the other 9 threads that the system skipped this week.
That's indeed very strange. I'm sure that my e-mail box is totally fine, I'm actively participating to many other forums without problems. My spam folder looks also clean.
Any help would be really very appreciated. Thanks again!

Our notifications are sent out via a gmail account and a few days ago we noticed google was rate limiting us. In theory that should only mean a delay but it seems emails don't actually get through at all in some cases. It MAY be related to this.
Please report back if this continues.
Mike
Thank you for your reply Mike.
The thing is that I'm experiencing this problem since the beginning, right after my registration to the forum back in 2014.
At the moment I'm subscribed with daily notification to 169 threads but I'm receiving the email notification for only a few of them (and it has always happened like that). When I connect to my user control panel I can clearly go throught my subscribed threads and spot many threads that have been recently updated without any notification on my email box (actually the main part of them).
I'm pretty sure that my email account is fine but I can't really imagine what could be the problem.
I'm open to any kind suggestion. Being able to fix this problem would really help me.
Thanks again.
W.
I'm sorry to come back writing and (bothering you guys) here, but it looks like that I really can't resolve this issue myself.
Recently I even switched the email account linked to my xda profile to another address hosted by another provider (Hotmail) but nothing has changed: I still don't receive the large part of the email alerts from the threads I'm following.
Since having switched to another e-mail address should have eliminated the possibility of blocks or filters on my (e-mail side) frankly I really don't know what to do now.
Being able to receive updates from the threads I'm following would be incredibly helpful and would surely help me to engage more with the community.
I know that, since this is a free forum (but I would even pay a subscription if it could help with this issue!), I can't demand a prompt resolution to this technical issue. But I'm wondering which could be the reason behind this problem:
could it be possible that my account is still in a kind of "limited" mode?
could it be possible that there's a limit to the number of e-mail alerts that a user can receive (even if, as from my case, this limit would be extremely low, and it also looks like I'm not receiving the alerts with consistency)?
Your account definitely isn't restricted in any way, it looks completely normal. I've triple checked, and checked again.
This might be something that the server admin @bitpushr can perhaps provide some input, as I'm out of ideas. We've checked everything we can from our side.
Thanks again for your assistence @the_scotsman, I trust you and I know that you have already tried everything you could; I'm really grateful for it.
I also know that it could seem a strange problem and I'm sorry for it; at this point I would eventually be even willing to move my account to any other email address for you guys to check.
I'm thinking about other alternative solutions. What if i open a new account, would it be eventually possible to copy all my thread subscriptions (176 subscribed threads) on it?
Thank you very much again
correct solution

Hello, what do you mean with "correct solution"?
My idea was to open a new account and to "migrate" or copy my thread subscriptions to it, but actually no forum moderator or admin did reply to my message to let me know if that was possible....
At the moment unfortunately my issue is still unresolved

Hello there, sorry if I hijack this thread but I got the same problem. In general, it's the opposite problem (spam), but in this case, I don't receive emails from my subscription, despite having "checked" all threads and chose "instant email notification" in me profile settings.
Sorry If I missed a setting.
It worked today. I've got one for a quote and one for an answer to a thread I subscribed.
I don't know if you changed something.
Well I spoke too soon. Again I did not receive an instant email in a thread I subscribed.

I've never found the email notifications to be reliable, Tapatalk is much faster, and reliable.

Too bad, I like email notifications. I think Tapatalk is for mobile users and I browse XDA only from my PC.
