New gmail layout..any way to multi select/delete inbox - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I know this is a general question but it applies to any Android device but since im on a s4 ill ask here.
Since the new Gmail update with the new Colorful interface look,which I find useless.... is there a way to multi select all emails in the in box ,to delete instead of long pressing one by one?

Clicking on the colored letter / picture will select the email (as if it were a checkbox).
You can also disable the new look by unchecking 'Sender image' in settings.

:thumbup:Nice, that partly resolves the lengthy one by one delete process, but I sorta meant like a multi select/select all at once, then after just uncheck each one you want to keep.
But I guess only way is to check each email one by one .
Thanks though :thumbup:

Ah, yeah the app doesn't have a 'select all' feature. I suppose the app is designed to cater to users who keep more e-mail than delete.

You can long press on one email then select many.... It will highlight all and you can then delete several at a time.

Cant delete recent texts?

Cant find the option
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda premium
Hold your finger over the text message and you will get the delete option. You can also do this over the whole thread to delete that thread from a person.
No when u go to add a recipient u can choose from a list of recents. But theres no way to delete that list

I can't replicate this issue, but I'm not totally stock, either. Please advise:
ROM/Kernel version? (IE: I'm using OsiMood 2.01.30, and the Cranium Kernel)
Stock Messaging App? (IE: I'm using GO SMS Pro)
Thanks

I think he's talking about when you add a recipient and it lets you choose from a list of recent recipients that you have texted.

Thanks, I'm still trying to replicate the issue, I'm not seeing it. I sent a text message to a friend, then:
New text --> Add Recipients --> Recent
Their name was first
I canceled that message, deleted the text I sent them, then:
New text --> Add Recipients --> Recent
Their name was no longer there.
I also did:
New text --> Add Recipients --> Recent --> Checked a bunch of different names, clicked "Add"
It added all the recipients. I did a long-press on each name, and a menu pops up with options for Delete and Edit, both options worked.
Can you give a step-by-step what you're doing, what results you get, and what you think is missing?
Thanks

How do you send mass text on galaxy nexus?

Hey guys I really can figure this out. Can anybody help out?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You have to use another SMS app like Go SMS or something.

+1, definitely in GoSMS, where you add recipients in compose new message you can select entire groups or all contacts...
You can add a bunch of people to the recipient list just by tapping it

GroupText it's in the market.
You can type multiple names in the stock msging app. Just tap on the address bar and keep inputing names.
Mind you, it cant email a group but it can mass text.

What bug? Read posts above yours.
After you enter the first recipient, tap in the TO: field enter another one, then keep adding to your hearts content.

That is a pain in the ass though. Read the report I filed to see why it is.
Not only is it a pain in the ass, but there's also a limit to how many people you can add when using that method.
I can't believe Google still hasn't given us a built-in option to see a list of all contacts with tick boxes next to their names for easy selection. My Symbian phones from 2004 could do that.

Chat heads for FB Messenger, anyone get it to work?

So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one

When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

I had to uncheck 'Hide Statusbar' in Apex for it to work correctly.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.
I'm running 2.4.2 I've restarted the app and phone several times and reinstalled too

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

I do not have "chat heads" option under notifications where sound, vibe rate, etc. So there for I can't enable it because it is not there to enable.

I have the same problem as everyone else. I read somewhere that it has to do with the actual Facebook account.
Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.
My long press selection options
Jayv81 you are right. It is related with the account. I key my gf sign into her account on my phone and the chat head option showed up. WTH! as soon as she log out, the option is gone.

I found a modded app that works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232307
I tried this one and it works just make sure and un install all current Facebook apps. Also I'm not a fan of the Facebook home and I uninstalled it after testing the linked method. And it still works.
All credit goes to theos0o

This does it. Finally! Thx

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

I don't think you can unstack them.
Try Logging In To Facebook Application.It Worked For Me
If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works

New Gmail 4.5

Here goes the new gmail 4.5

It really looks good....
Sent from my enormous note 2 Tapatalk 2
looking awesome. thanks for sharing.
It looks nice, but they took away the delete button, so now it is 2 clicks to delete anything
I'm not seeing, or understanding the update to GMail. Granted, I haven't used the Gmail app in about two or so years. I've been using K9. I'm really not seeing what the tab feature from the few screenshots I've seen.

The tab feature separates your email into different sections. Like primary, social, etc. To configure it go to the desktop version and once logged in to Gmail click on tje little gear at tje top right and click on configure inbox. This is where u can select what tabs are used or you can deselect them all and just keep it like it used to be. It is basically a way to organize your email by categories. Hope that helps.

I briefly searched but didn't find anything......will 4.5 offer a black version? I thought Gmail was going to start offering a blacked out option soon.

Gmail Settings - General Settings - Archive & delete actions - Show archive only, Show delete only, or Show archive & delete.

No they didn't. Go to Settings, General Settings, Archive & delete actions, and choose delete or archive and delete. I assume this is what you are referring to. By default it only shows archive only.

I don't know how you guys never poke around an apps settings (first thing i always do). They didn't take away any feature. If you look in settings you'd see it and turn it on. Don't know why it's off by default, but it's there.
Are there any themers here that can possibly invert this?

Gmail 4.7.2

Anyone have any luck selecting more than one attachment at a time through the new Gmail update?
Mine only allows one selection at a time. Or maybe I can't figure out how to select more than one. Tap and hold does nothing.

Don't use gmail but as I test I tried to attach more than one item at a time and it didn't allow me to either - looked into settings and all sorts and just seems like it only allows the one at a time I'm afraid - well from what I can see anyways.
But here's an idea why not place your Gmail account into Samsungs Email app then when you have your Gmail account open in the "Email" app open up Multiwindow of gallery or My files and then you can easily drag and drop content quickly and pretty easily.
It's just an idea and probably of no help but thought I'd atleast mention it lol.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was refraining from using the stock email app because It doesnt support push. But I will try it out. Thanks.
