Having recently switched to Android from WM, I was shocked at how a relatively new OS has a default e-mail client that doesn't support moving emails between folders in non-Gmail mail accounts. If you're a corporate user, you know what I mean.
I was equally shocked to find this issue labeled a Medium Priority by Google, being down at 26 on the list well under things like:
Feature Request: "pure" ipsec vpn client (cisco-compatible)
FLAC file support enhancement request.
Enhancement: Call Recorder
Plus a host of other non-standard functionality. If you're interested in helping improve this everyday issue, please take 5 seconds to star this issue at:

Dear XDA users!
Lots of Russian Android users are very disappointed with the fact that Android OS takes a lot of traffic (that causes extra fees and personal data insecurity). Many people decided not to buy Android-based devices because of that. So, we decided to post an issue to Google, Inc. and OHA and asked about the abitily to let or not let the apps use Internet - such points as "Allow", "Allow once", "Deny" or something like that. The issue URL is http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10481

I can trust to Google But i can't trust other developers.
Well, sometimes Google is not worth trusting, too.

So, with the announcements yesterday of SMS client support in Hangouts (as well as animated GIFS and Location sharing) and the other new features announce for Google+ with the Video and Photo editing, I wonder how much it will help growth on the platform. Of course the iOS update had Google Voice support and maybe that will be baked in too. I use Hangouts a lot now to talk to family and groups that I'm part of and to automatically back up my photos and videos from my phone. It's really nice to be able to instantly go to my images from any computer and access the full size images without having to manually retrieve them. I will be interested to see how the SMS implementation is handled, but it could prove to be the "killer" feature to push Hangouts to more people. I like the fact that it works completely across all platforms. Whether I'm at my computer or my phone, or my niece's iPad or my brother's iPhone or even folks on crackberries or Windows, everyone can "Hangout" without the exclusivity of platform like iMessage or the limitations of BBM. I think the real key will be how fluid and responsive it is at full blown implementation.

Hi,
I was looking for an app to block notifications during weekends for some email accounts but I couldn't, so I've developed one.
It allows you to create a schedule so you can avoid work email notification in your free time.
In addition to that, it also allows you to override your schedule temporarily for special events like a day off.
I could have switched to another email client but I was happy with the official Gmail app.
How does it work?
Well, it just toggles the synchronization on/off based on the schedule you define within the app.
In order to discover the email accounts in your device I need to use the GET_ACCOUNTS permission. Sadly, it belongs to the CONTACTS group starting Android 6. Please, tell me if you find a way to work around this.
I'm sorry but I can't post the link yet, but you can find the app on Google Play, just search for "Quiet for Gmail"
I hope you find it useful and I'm looking forward to getting some feedback from you :fingers-crossed:

I've been looking at various messaging apps that are encrypted.
Things like
delta chat
Pretty easy privacy
Conversations.
K9 mail with pgp encryption
And others.
They all have various issues
Conversations uses xxmp servers which don't work well if there are extended times offline.
Delta chat uses smtp which is great for offline but it has very little key management features for advanced users
Pretty easy privacy is still beta but promises a lot of good features in the future, but they might go with a subscription service for advanced features(that they call enterprise edition otherwise it might be the best when they get it done)
K9 mail with open pgp key management just is too complicated for everyday people.(sadly it's the best security)
What are you using and why?

I'm kinda a rookie and only play a knowledgeable geek on tv, but security is pretty important to me. So I've tried a few different apps. Currently I'm using a combo of Threema and Signal on my Mi Max 3. I really like Threema. I wish signal had a few more bells and whistles, so I'm casting about for another SMS messaging app. It's not very scientific but one of my main criteria is just how many permissions the app asks for.
Telegram app or website
Signal app
There is no security on smartphones.
Depends on a few things.
1. Keys stay encrypted and on phone not online or "in the cloud"
2. Even if encrypted end to end like Whatsapp, the company was sold to Facebook so.....
3. Has to connect send and receive peer to peer or adversaries attack any centralization because that makes it too easy for them, so no telegram
I think Signal by Whisper Systems is "best", but the phone has android which Google and nsa have backdoored and suppress zero day exploit knowledge and keep discovery secret, so they read and keylog it all.
Ive been using Wickr they seem to be more secure than a regular text messages at least, I hope maybe. They say in their disclosure they dont keep any messages on the servers they use but its stiil the end users device thats the weak point. Lately wickr has been updating alot, which seems to be another term for uploading. idk i may be way off.
I found my rooted Nexus 6 had directories that were hard to get to containing screenshots of my phone taken randomly during a 24 hour time frame and zipped. Also simply watching the logcat it was uploading files regularly, dropbox and I cant find much about it but the Sahara protocol was what seemed to be querying uploads.
I use telegram
The best is to use secret chat in Telegram
It's available when use mobile telegram
Hey all,
After a brief departure from Android to iOS, I have came back with OG Pixel.
While I love everything about it so far, I have issue setting up my work e-mail on Gmail app.
Everytime I enter all the information needed, correctly, it tells me
"This server requires security features that your Android device doesn't support, including: Restrict text email size, Restrict HTML email size".
Funny thing is the work e-mail works perfectly fine on Galaxy models...
From googling, I've found out that it might have to do something with Gmail version?
Any input would be greatly appreciate!!!!
