Question Bad email addies that popup...help❓️ - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

Whenever you accidentally put in your email address incorrectly (say gmail)... and then click on it (to save something to your email)... it pops up whenever you go to send something to your email again.
I will then hit the wrong 'bad email' when in a hurry.
How can I delete those 'bad emails' on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G OS 13 from ever showing up again. They've been following me from phone to phone

Are you talking about in a keyboard? In an e-mail app? A Web browser? Elsewhere?

I mean when I'm typing on my Smartphone...the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G...I'll be sending something I found on the Web...an I'll accidentally type an incorrect email address. And the next time I go to send something to my Gmail account several versions of my email address pop-up and sometimes I'll click on that 'bad/incorrect' email address that I previously typed in...because I'm in a hurry and don't notice I've hit the incorrect email Addy.
I want to be able to delete any incorrect emails..so they stop appearing.

You didn't answer the question. Where are the bad addresses popping up? On your keyboard? In the Web browser? Inside an e-mail app?

Odd. New mail indicated. Can't see it.

I had 2 new mails in my Gmail. I read one, and couldn't see the other one, even though while I am in the vanilla Gmail app it still says 1 new mail at the top of my inbox. Ordinarily I would have just assumed a glitch and moved on.
Except right now I'm sitting in front of my computer and logged on via my computer. Sure enough, I do have a new mail that I still haven't read. I go back to my phone and the notification bar isn't showing any new mail but inside the Gmail app it shows one unread email. Though the view shows everything greyed out and the new mail which came today is not visible.
No refresh, exiting and re-entering or moving around the screen can fix it. I wish I could keep it like this to test what is going on, but I need to read and respond to the mail.
This is a strange one.
Same problem
I hadn't yet worked out the details, but I am almost certain that I've had the same problem. I certainly seem to see nothing new, even although the app says 1 unread.
Looks a bit like a sync error with the cloud. Anyone else got any thoughts?
[EDIT]
I just looked at my Desire and it told me I had 8 unread messages. Opening GMail it said the same in the title bar but only showed 6.
I opened GMail on my Mac and sure enough, I had 8 messages; there was nothing obviously different with the 2 missing ones.
I used Search on my phone to look for the 'missing' messages and to my surprise, they came up! So they are there on the phone, but not showing in the list? So my idea about a sync error is not so good!

Are the extra emails in the inbox, or do you have a rule which applies a label to them and moves them out of the inbox?
Good suggestion.
I know in my case (I just checked) it wasn't labelled and wasn't due to skip the inbox.
I think I may have had this once before and it is rare. But it is strange.

In my experience it happens sometimes but I have solved opening from the web browser Gmail, then you'll find the unread email. Once the unread email is opened, the notification will disappear. But maybe this is a different situation. I hope this can help you.

Yes, this happens from time to time. It's not a desire thing, it used to happen on my G1. I think it's normally a mail within a threaded mail that does it. Annoying but logging into the gmail website usually reveals the answer.
I had the exact same thing happen, not sure why it does it BUT i found the emails...
So SOLUTION/LOCATION of hidden emails are... in email app press menu, goto view labels and hit All Mail, this shows up the messages that didnt show up in the Inbox...
Hope this helps

[Q] Gmail-recent activity notification on phone

Hey guys, before I begin I want to say yes I did a search on XDA and searched around Google for about an hour and couldnt find an answer.
Im wondering if it is possible through your phone to check recent activity or if its possible to get a notice if someone is trying or has accessed your Gmail account from another computer. yes I know if you log into gmail through a browser you can scroll down and click recent activity and see all the ip address that have accessed your account. I spend about 90% of my time on my phone and rarely use a computer so having a notification on my phone would be very useful.
Thanks guys

Nope. Your only choice is a browser. However, if you use 2-step authentication and a good password, you should be safe.

Could you logon via the phone's browser to check recent activity like you can from a desktop's browser? I haven't heard of a capability of that nature with the exception of accounts via a corporate server. That is not to say that is does not exist. I'm just unaware of it.

https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsAuthConfig
Go there and go through the setup. Note the following:
1) When they say "lose your phone/these codes and you won't be able to access your account", THEY MEAN IT. If you lose Google Authenticator/the phone number you SMS to, your backup phone number, AND the codes they give you, you are BONED.
2) Any program or device that logs in directly to your account (Chrome Sync, Cloud Print, your phone, Trillian, PBXes, etc.) will need an application-specific password. There's instructions on how to do this, but you will not be able to retrieve said password once you have generated it and clicked the "hide password" button.
3) You will have to enter the generated code on your phone at each new browser you try to log in to your account from, both the first time, and every 30 days.
Try this one: SignMeOut
as featured on Lifehacker "Sign Me Out Helps You Track Unauthorized Access to Your Gmail and Facebook Accounts" and Comments.
But please consider you are giving your gmail credentials out to another 3rd party app / organisation. You possibly don't improve your Gmail security but lose some of it.

Same thing is happening to me as well. We are using Zimbra for my company's email system. I'm on a Sprint Note 2 on 4.3 stock and no root. Funniest thing it was working after the 4.3 update but for some reason it stopped working as of today.

Same here on my ATT Note 2.
well, so far based on the fact there are reports coming from at least 3 cell providers that its the update causing it lol, wonder is samsung will say anything
i have found a workaround.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...4-4-with-gmail-style-ui-and-a-slide-out-menu/
you have to install the email app and also the exchange app.
and do not use the stock email app. but use this one
hope this helps
Hello,
the same problem here with an GT-I9505 (Samsung Galaxy S4).
Are there any solutions right now?
I don't want to downgrade it with the posted workaround because I want to use the phone as all others in the world. Buy it, install it, use it. Sometimes upgrade it and nothing more.
Particularly I don't want to hack anything on that phone because we have much phones in our company so we do not have time to fix those bugs manually.

The workaround works, but that email app sucks.
Resolution
1) Ask any user to send you an appointment
2) You will get the appointment on your device, accept the appointment and it will send an email in the backend which resolved this issue.
Let me know if this helps.

Hello. I have also encountered this issue with my Outlook.com email account following the 4.3 update. I can confirm that Sandesh's solution with replying to an invitation has solved the problem for me. Thanks!
What I went through to solve this.
I have the same device on the same network and this worked for me. You must have someone send you the appointment on the affected exchange account. In other-words, if you have a corporate account have someone else at that company send you the appointment, accept it and you should be off and running.
I had a running ticket open with Samsung and we tried all sorts of things.
For example.
We restarted the phone
Performed a soft reboot, that is just pull the battery while the phone is on.

It works! I was so sick of using Android email v4.3. It was POS and often stuck my outgoing msgs in the outbox for days without me knowing. And it often was super delayed in pushing incoming msgs. Then it does not allow you to auto bcc to yourself by default. POS POS POS.
Heck, you can call Samsung and tell them to send you an appointment if you don't have access to a corporate account. It also works if I forward the message to my other screwed-up accounts. I think I'll keep those emails / appointments and reuse them for future problems.:good:

I had someone send me an appointment from outside of my messaging system and after I Accepted that appointment I was able to create new messages and Send them. I no longer get the popup message of "Retrieving account information" on messages trying to be sent.
Sure is a big bug for Samsung.
Old thread but still a problem... had it with Android 5.0.1 on my S4 and with an S6 port on the S4. Sending an appointment did not help (anymore).
I had really trouble finding the problem...: I use a Kerio Connect Server for my mails, contacts and calendar. It works as a Exchange Server and syncs via Active sync /exchange protocol. But in the protocol version 14.0. I had to force the server to use the active sync protocol 12.1. Then it was possible to answer the appointment. And everything works... Before the mobile and/or server copied the event in the local calendar, but deleted the email and did not send it...
Hopefully nobody else has this issue, otherwise here is the fix:

Psa cant track order or lookup order ****

Hi Everyone. It seems alot of people are having the same problems I had. You can not look up your order. Using quick order lookup with Order number and passord says invalid order or password. Order Lookup with Order number says EMAIL_MISSING on digital river website. OR other order lookup on htc.com says enter a valid email address when you are entering a valid email address.
Also Trying the forget password says invalid email address so you cant even reset your password. Here is what I did. I contacted htc through a message here(not chat, they cant do anything really)
https://store.digitalriver.com/DRHM...=htcus&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=38736100&Env=BASE
What you need to tell them is you need you password reset because you can not look up your order because it doesnt think your email is valid or the password is right. You get all the above errors. Give them your order ID and Email address you used or got your order confirmation to. Keep riding them till they send you a email with a password reset link. Once you get it ( i got mine after a day asking twice) reset it. Make your new password.
Go back to login here
https://store.digitalriver.com/DRHM...=htcus&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=38736100&Env=BASE
Once you login for me atleast I looked under order history nothing showed. but go to the order lookup that asks for your order number and password and it should show you your order.
Hope this helps. It drove me to almost cancel my preorder.
I'm having this problem as well now. And I'd honestly rather just wait for a shipping email/confirmation than drive myself nuts w/ customer service reps. It's crazy that all this is necessary

Yeah it is crazy. Its like when you place your order it takes your email for updates but its never stored in to look up your order or to make and account like it says. It should be sending out a new unique password after you order but it doesnt.
Even when trying to reset password on that digital river link
Keeps saying invalid email.
So I'll have to contact HTC like you said, hopefully it gets working soon.
Already posted this in shipping thread but I'll describe what I did again here hoping it helps more people
go to this page:
https://store.digitalriver.com/DRHM...=htcus&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=38736100&Env=BASE
click forgot order password
In the popup if you scroll down there should be a prompt for just an order number, click submit and it should send a password reset URL to the email used when ordering. Then it should prompt you to enter a new account email and password. After resetting it took 20-30 min for it to actually let me log in.

Edit: oops, wrong thread, but thanks for the info
When you look up the order, use internet explorer instead of chrome, I had this same issue and I know IE sux but it will let you see the order status. In chrome I get the invalid password or order number error but not in IE. Actually you can even look up the order status on your phone. In the Google Search, just type HTC order lookup, go to the site, put in your number and password and boom!

Ads in the Samsung Calendar?!

I just had a calendar notification pop up that said "iPhoneX is Here!"
I clicked on it and it opened my calendar and sure enough there's this entry that I never made, and it repeats daily for the next 5 days.
I'm guessing this is a third party app and not Samsung. But I've checked permissions and none of my 3rd party apps have calendar permissions.
The only thing different that I installed from my previous phone is Blurams app for a security camera we purchased and Network Signal Info app.
Anyone know of anyway to figure out which app is pushing notifications to my calendar?
Gmail sometimes automatically adds things to your calendar from emails that you receive if they include a meeting invitation attachment. Check for a matching email in your gmail inbox/trash/spam

Good call, but nothing there. Just checked spam and trash.
I just got the exact same message and was wondering that too. I used to have a problem with my iCloud calendar on my iPhone x where people could just put random events on my iCloud calendar and they would appear and now it seems they can do the same thing with a Samsung calendar

The stock Samsung Calendar app.
I would flip if I had iphone advertising on my Samsung phone, seriously, but I don't see any advertising on mine, maybe because I went over all the menus and disabled all advertising, tracking etc. . Those are usually in privacy settings, or similar. If that doesn't work try to guess which programs could be doing this and limit all the permissions for them. Also you could create some throw away gmail account to register the phone, that nobody knows and you rarely get any emails.
That's not advertising from the app. Common sense would tell you that Samsung would not advertise for an iPhone.
There is a way that people can add events to your calendar without your permission simply by knowing your email address.
It is indeed coming from your Google account.
To prevent this you need to turn off the ability to accept events without confirmation or permission.
Here is a good resource.

Yes. But what calendar it link too? Did you connect to google calendar and the message is come from google calendar?
This sounds like a spam calendar event. I just had the same issue, but mine were all in Russian. If it is, where it comes from is if someone adds your email as an invitee, it will add to your calendar even without getting the email or replying. The setting that allows this has to be fixed on a PC web version of Google calendar.
Here is how to do that, but it doesn't deal with the events already there I think.
https://howtoremove.guide/remove-spam-in-google-calendar/
To mark an event as spam, I can not recall the exact steps, but it was something like in Google calendar on the phone, open the event without clicking any links. Hit the 3 vertical dots in the upper right. One of the options should be "mark as spam" or something like that. Or there might be "more actions" then the mark as spam option.
I can not find the original website where I learned that. But it fixed my problem since it blocked the spammer. There does not appear to be the same functionality in Samsung calendar, so try doing on the website version from a computer.

Gotcha, sorry. Yes, it shows it came from my Gmail address (Google Calendar), but it's greyed out. And. You can't edit the entry, either. Just delete it.

Sorry if that came off rude I did not intend for it too. It just seemed like the discussion was going on a route that made it seem like it was the Samsung app rather than a Google calendar issue.
Well, truth be told I got one of these two days ago. The same exact one.
There are tons of breaches that have been happening in recent years. You can use https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if your email address was included in a breach. (This does not contain all recent breaches but it has a lot)
I also have noticed a crazy uptick in back to back to back robot scam calls. The other day (same day I got the calendar spam) I was at work and a client of mine and a customer of his all had our phones ring at the same exact time. They were all "Scam likely". While they were different incoming phone numbers it was literally at the same exact time. Things seem to have really kicked up a notch when it comes to spam. At least it seems so.

There are tons of breaches that have been happening in recent years. You can use https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if your email address was included in a breach. (This does not contain all recent breaches but it has a lot)
I also have noticed a crazy uptick in back to back to back robot scam calls. The other day (same day I got the calendar spam) I was at work and a client of mine and a customer of his all had our phones ring at the same exact time. They were all "Scam likely". While they were different incoming phone numbers it was literally at the same exact time. Things seem to have really kicked up a notch when it comes to spam. At least it seems so.

Yeah I actually checked that site about a week or two ago. Was taking some training on internet sources in criminal investigations, and they showed us that site. My email address has been compromised like 14 times, LOL.
And YES to the robocalls!! I usually just hang up on them without answering. But the other day, as soon as I hit decline, it rang again. I mean IMMEDIATELY. Did it three or four times. That's a new tactic.
It seems like every time they say the cell carriers are cracking down on robocalls, they just increase. I can't even answer my ****ing phone anymore.
Thanks for the link to this thread. Yes I saw this in Samsung calendar this morning too. I have never seen anything like this in Google calendar and I don't have any spam emails that would trigger this.
Ive never seen this on any note phone I've had and dont see it now. Currently using just the stock Sammy calendar.
Ive had a few emails breached over time and that link above that tells you if your email addy has been comprised is a good resource. That said, even with a couple of my email addys breached ive still not seen this...
Just had the same thing. Never saw any spam emails with calendar invites, though. There were 4 events per day over 8 days.
It's a know issue with Gmail. Or "working as intended", really..

It's so weird that it suddenly hit us Note10/+ users. Maybe a coincidence, but still strange. And yup, sounds like a spam email event. Spammers/scammers are useless wastes of air. ?
