I'm having problems getting email attachments to load . They show as being there but never lisd.any help would be great. I'm new to Droid so thanks if anyone can help out.
Hello there.
I´m also having issues when downloading attachments on pop3 accounts using HTC Mail.
As you stated, the attachments seems to download, but when you try to open them, you get an error. If it´s a word or excel attachment, it would say "wrong format". If it´s a picture (jpg) it would just show as broken (black screen).
The crazy thing is that it seems random, as I have got some attachments to work, with jpg, and also some with pdf and .doc
Nevertheless, I installed another e-mail app, called enhaced email (it seems quite the same as htc mail), and downloading the same e-mails (that were still on the server) worked for downloading the attachments.
Maybe there´s some issue on HTC Mail application that needs to be shorted out.
by the way, I´m on custom firmware Revolution

Just noticed this rather odd behaviour...
I've a Desire running Leedroid, and have set up Google Sync in Exchange.
The text contents of emails are received perfectly fine, but when I try to view attachments, that's when issues come in.
Originally I had Exchange set to download all attachments. While this would show every attachment as downloaded (and have the staple icon with the size), if I tried to open them, it would say "The file cannot be opened because it is corrupted."
I then changed it to never download attachments, and would fetch attachments manually. Now, if I did this, I could get the attachment, with the option to open directly or save to SD card. Either would be successful, and I could do either after the other IF I did not leave the email in question.
If I then pressed back and went back to the inbox list, then back into the email, trying to open the downloaded (and viewed! and saved!) attachment would result in the same error message as before.
What's going on?
Hi,
if anyone found please help its urgent
o.o
Dunno who that guy is, but yeah, still wanting to know if anyone knows why this is happening... closest thing I found was something that occurs on Droid phones, but the option that 'fixes' it (something about accepting all SSL certificates) doesn't appear on my phone.
I'm facing the same problem too. All my attachments are being automatically downloaded and saved. I am able to open the saved files but not the one's in the mail.
Anyone please help
I was just playing around with ES File Explorer, trying to learn what it does, and I discovered that all the email attachments that I've opened during the past few days (.doc,.pdf,.pps) were actually saved to my G tab.
I'd rather than didn't happen.....is that a feature that I can turn off somewhere?
(I couldn't find anything under the different menus for mail or browser.)
You could try a third part e-mail client, such as Enhanced Email which seems to have a good rating in the market.
I use the Yahoo Mail app.
Does anyone know if I can view attachments to my email, without having to download them to my G tab?
Bumping up?
After setting up my email accounts through the stock email application, I've noticed all of my emails with embed photos, either within the email or attached....they are all automatically downloaded to the phone. I can view them in the gallery even. I didn't know the phone was doing this until I went into the gallery to see a couple images I took with the phones camera.
My question is, can you stop the email application from automatically downloading all the images/files? I get about 3,000 emails a month (corporate) and this is going to be quite annoying considering the promotions and email signatures including small gif/jpg files.
Any help would be great. Cheers.

Have you tired to limit the size of the email received?
I haven't. I'm sure that would obviously help for the larger images, but these little gifs that are embeded within an email signature for example, are sometimes 1kb, so very very small. No other Android phone I've owned ever did this without me clicking on the image and downloading it first, myself. It's just fetching the files automatically and downloading them.
Funny thing is, 95% of the emails I DO NOT OPEN!!!!
I don't get work email on my phone but, I do use the pop feature. Maybe its a exchange server issue. I don't have that problem with pop.
It probably is automatically downloading them as an "attachment". Turn that feature off.
Hi all,
I have searched for this application for a long time and tried whole bunch of them, but I am still looking for SOLID, SIMPLE, and STRAIGHTFORWARD application to save Call log entries into Outlook Journal.
My setup:
Windows 7 32-bit
Outlook 2007 SP2
HD2 with latest T-Mo ROM and Cookie Home Tab installed.
Applications I tried:
Maniac's SmartJournal - so far the best solution and worked flawlessly on the XP. Since I switched to Windows 7 it shows that the SmartJournal reads from the device, the notification disappears and nothing happens. Maniac's website is down, so I cannot find out what is going on.
Pocket Informant Outlook Extension - since it is now free as Informant stopped supporting Windows Mobile, I tried it, it seems that it works and does some synchronizing according to the log, but no entry shows up the Journal.
Jeyo Outlook Extension - they used to support Outlook Journal in their version for Symbian, but in their Windows Mobile they only synchronize SMS.
MobiTNT - I tried that software as well, but I am not able to enable the software on the computer.
I know that there is also some app for syncing call log into calendar but it seems way too akward.
I know that there are many threads about this all over the Xda, but they seem to be old for one and do not end up with comprehensive solution afterall.
I would like to this post to become comprehensive and one stop solution for somebody who is looking for the solution like me.
Any ideas are welcome.
Nobody? Really? Really?
I Feel your pain
I used to use Calls to Journal from Chapura with my windows handheld. Strangely it is now discontinued.
It was slick, and perfect. Dumped all calls to Outlook journal and tagged the outlook contacts (so that they showed up in activites). Was perfect in my business when someone denied that you called them.
I can't find anything that compares. Not even close. The other ones like "missing sync" try to do too much and do not include this very simple functionality.
Have you had any luck?
Well, I finally managed to make the Maniac's Smartjournal work and it works great. It transfers the calls into Journal and tags for the known Contacts so it shows in Activities.
If you would like to try it, I have the .exe files since the website is no longer active. The files are really small and the program is no memory hog by any means. I tried Jeyo and it just crashes Outlook.
Let me know.
Another one
I wish i could be more helpful but there is one applicatoin which i have used in the past but have since forgotten the name whichvery simply adds an appointment into outlook which lasts for the duration of the call, with the title of whoever the conversation was with.
this might be the one i was thinking of. I'm gonna check it now.

post the files please & details you have on them & any special instructions on getting it working.
One of the biggest mistakes MS made was not having WM & its PC software linking together with complete harmony & user control.
Really are a clueless bunch at redmond HQ ...
I am attaching the rar file. There are two files. One is SmartJournal.exe and the other is SmartJournal Beta.exe Try first the SmartJournal.exe run as admin and compatibility with XP SP2. Sometimes it shows the error that the CallLog.csv cannot be dumped. If that is the case, uninstall the SmartJournal and install the Beta (again as administrator and compatibility mode XP SP2). Maniac had a great forum unfortunatelly that website is no longer active.
Let me know if you have any trouble.
Take 2
I just realised my previous post was totally useless since I never included the link. I've been using Call Calendar for the past few days which works really well, recording the time, duration, who the call was with and who called who silently into outlook, which will then obviously sync over activesync or exchange. you can get it here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-call-calendar.html
then again while searching for that link i found this program, Phonelog- it's newer and seems to have additional features like recording incoming SMS. I think you can customise what is recorded too, it might be worth a shot:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-phonelog.html
I've never used Outlook journal, so I don't know how much functionality you lose as a result of these being purely appointments. Hope it oculd be useful though.
Thanks for the post and link. I prefere not to use the calendar for syncing, because than the entries eat up the screen when I view my calendar appointments. Also, I always felt siunce the Journal has a Phone log category it is more obvious to use it rather than calendar. Also, I make LOT of calls on given days and then my calendar looks like mess between the actual appointments and the phone call. Also, I checked the review section on freeware.com and lot of people complain about the SMS not working (which would be the only feature why I would consider this software). But great addition to the post and thanks for the links.

You can try MobileArchiver (mobilearchiving.com) - for me works perfectly and puts all call history in journal every sync.

If the call history is full, I mean 300 items, there is a great chance that the PC app tries to read the calllogdump.csv on the pda while it is already accessed by the pda (it is written) and therefore paralell reading fails.
Solution: backup call log, and after that, delete some 50-100 entries manually. Sync works then nicely...

Another possible solution is to run Smartjournal.exe on pc, it copies the dump exe to Device\Temp, and runs, and this creates the csv. Navigate to this folder (My Device\Temp) and make the csv read only.
Running the pc side returns an error on the PDA, but the log will be read and data transferred.
Now remove read only from csv, move to pc, leave only the last entry, delete all the rest, save, move back to PDA.
Run pc side, all should be good now. You will have a lastsync.txt created in the PC folder of Smartsync. Sync finished.
Update:

Mobitnt PocketExport does the job for some days, no errors, I think I keep using this app

Hello, I just bought Lenovo P700i from etotalk.com eshop. It is overall very good phone, nice build quality, very good battery life, but I have found some problems too. The worst problem is, that I cannot synchronize it with my Microsoft Exchange account (emails, contacts, ...). There are only two aco**** types available in the android account settings (Google account and Lenovo account), but there is no Corporate account type, which Is on my old android phone and my android tablet too. And there is only GMail client instaled, not the default android email client, which am I using to read my emails on my other android devices.
Can anyone help me to synchronize this phone with Microsoft Exchange account? 3rd party clients are not working with our Exchange server, only maildroid does, but it is pretty expensive and I do not like this app at all.
My phone is rooted, there is Exchange.apk in system/apps, what is this for? And there is no Email.apk in this directory...
Thank you...
Look for Mail.apk or Message.apk.
This should add the email client to the adndroid, am I right? But will this add even the possibility to add "corporate" account?
Hi,
I have the same phone and the same problem. I found Email.apk, but ran in to what seems to be a common problem in that active sync just did not work - there're lots of thread about exchange problems with Activesync and I never got to the bottom of what the problem is. For now I'm using Emoze for my exchange mail client and that works.
Another problem with the etotalk ROM is Caller ID - it does not match incoming numbers to contacts and I gather this is also a common problem with some of these Chinese phones. This fault has been corrected for other Lenovos (A789, A750) in custom ROMs - will any kind soul create a custom ROM for the P700i?
Thanks,
pingu.
1. same wish here, is there any custom ROM for this phone?
2. And one more issue with this phone, installed CatLog and found one error message in captured logs, which is repeating hundred times, does anyone know, what this error means and how to remove it?

I managed to get active sync working by using the Email and Exchange apps from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869133
Make sure you delete Any .odex files for Exchange or Mail.
Only problem that remains is caller ID. The Etotalk ROM is pants for this - all incoming calls are "Unknown contact" and landlines are also "unknown city" but some mobiles have some Chinese for the location!
I presume it will take a modified ROM to correct this?
Thanks,
Pingu

It's no wonder your phone won't turn on anymore. You should flash custom ROM like cybermaus from inside CWM Recovery, NOT from SP_Flash_Tool.
