Problems with adding yahoo mail?!

Last night I flashed the leedroid Rom. After I flashed it I started getting everything set up but my yahoo mail kept saying I had the wrong user name or password. I have tried many times this morning with no luck in adding it. Any suggestions?

Yahoo is known for having client issues. Main reason it only supports pop3 in most PC based clients. Did it work on stock?

Yeah it did work on stock and also worked on the following roms - cm7, tpgb, cleardroid.

Yahoo is a nightmare. My mom was having all sorts of problems, both with the app, and through the generic mail smtp set-up (she has an inspire also).
After trying a bunch of stuff for a bunch of weird problems, I finally found one solution that worked... I got her the hell off of yahoo and onto gmail.
Not a practical solution for many, I know, but she's a lot happier not having to fart around with yahoo's quirks anymore.

For some reason, I only have issues with Yahoo mail when on wifi. When I get the user password error, I shut wifi off and switch to cellular data and the problem goes away. It is not all the time, just sometimes. Most of the time, it works fine.

I did a loooong time ago, never looked back. Gmail FTW

yahoo mail has never worked right on any handset/smart phone I have ever owned going back to crackberry ..dang almost a decade ago...ever. That said, there are ways get it to connect so you can at least send and receive stuff, but syncing in a intuitive and smooth manner? fuggitaboutit!....if you keep pounding at it you can get it to maybe work sometimes...but as another gentlemen just said, gmail for the win upside and everyside vs. mobile....only reason I keep my yahoo account (and it is connected and syncing to my hadset now), it is utterly pristine of spam. when I have engage in email that is uber importante, I use it just because it is clean...and had the account since 1999....

Well, I still have mine, I just don't use it.
It's the opposite, a total spam-fest. If I had that account set up and syncing on my phone, the notifications from that alone would kill my battery.
The only purpose it still serves is being my paypal login. When I get around to it, I'll probably see about changing that as well.

Strange Text messages

This is tough to explain...
At random points a friend of mine tells me that I am sending stange text messages that look like this:
"ME:<Subject: > - What game?"
According to what I see in my text history, It is being sent from my phone. Now out of the 20 or so people I have active text sessions with, she is the only one.
I've been through various ROM's and have had this problem follow. Logic tells me its her phone based on the facts but I can't prove it. I've done a Google search and that returned nothing. Searched around the XDA site and didn't turn up anything.
Has anyone experienced anything the same or similar?

Now excuse me if I am not following you, but
First you say : 1
And then you say : 2
How does something you can see in your phones text log become her phones problem?
It is your phone and it is prolly an app you install since it follows you, or a friend in your midst as they follow you too.

Yea I know, But I've been running with only stock apps for the past 24 hours and it happened again last night. I'm puzzled. Out of all the people I text it just goes to her phone.
Might have to keep my eyes out for the friend in the midst

If its showing as sent from your phone in your phone, then logic would dictate that your phone is the source of this issue. When switching roms, did u do a full wipe before reflashing? Are u sure u are not restoring any apps or configurations whether if its synced with Google or titanium backup? Perhaps u have apps stored on your sdcard? Just a few things to think about.

Why on Earth do people use MMS? Am I missing something here?

Every time a device gets AOSP (for the first time) I see a flood of posts whining about MMS being broken. (I've had an Evo 4G and an Evo 3D and saw this on both when they first got AOSP, now I see it in the unofficial CM9 thread here.)
Why MMS? What's good about MMS that you can't get with any other app or service?

Do you know what mms is? From your post it doesn't sound like it.

Yea.. I gather that as well.

How else would one sext and send nudes?

1) It's universal.
No matter what phone the other person is using, chances are it supports MMS.
2) It's in-line.
Unlike email, you can just go "Here's a picture" instead of "I just sent you an email, you should go check it out"

I know its a serious question but made me laugh a bit. "Why God why!!" Lol

My girlfriend and I send MMS's (plural?lol) all the time. Sometimes she wants to send me something she saw or maybe a new outfit she bought With email I don't always have autosync on for battery life and its just that extra hassle. If I'm trying to send something pretty high resolution I will use email though since it doesn't compress it.

its the easiest and fastest way to send a pic to a person on another mobile phone, any other mobile phone, any OS, any platform, any carrier.
was this a joke?

FTFY

I guess I just don't get why you couldn't just email pictures or videos. All you have to do is tap after you've taken your picture and the UI asks how you want to share it. I don't know a single human being who still uses MMS outside of these forums and maybe my mother, who keeps buying feature-phones. :^\

It's easier to send a quick picture to a phone than through email. I don't know much of my friend's email addresses off the top of my head

Almost not wanting to dignify the question... But....
Mms is also used as a group chat in messaging apps like gosms. Allows you to text multiple people at once and everyone in the chat can see everyone elses response. Just fyi

I have a lot of friends who use mms that aren't a part of the forums. As a matter of fact, I'm positive none of my friends are on the forums.

Here is a better question: Why do people still use CDMA carriers such as verizon and sprint? SIM lacking carriers are almost non-existant outside the USA.

Why MMS??? Then why sms ?? Yeah you could SMS but then if u wanted to send a pic or video then you would have to open a separete app which takes more time mms is simply faster

[Request] Switch default 'New Contact' save location to Gmail instead of phone.

This may be a bit picky, but there I have found no way to set the default location a new contact is added to. By default, contacts are saved to the phone, but I use Gmail. I never remember to change when I'm trying to get all these girls numbers (yeah right) so it would be nice to have the default save to Gmail.
If anyone has an idea let me know!

You can hit menu, settings, manage contacts, then copy, and choose to google.

Thanks. Yeah I used that, but my problem is remembering that they even got saved in the wrong spot. I'm going to clear data one day and lose numbers.
I just want the default option in a new contact to save to Gmail. My Inspire on Sense 3.5 had the option.
Sent from my HTC One X

Hi Buddy,
Mine always save to Gmail.
Pretty sure this will do it.
When you're in people click phone book in the top left and only select Google.
Otherwise just remember to select Google when you create the contact - mine seems to default to Google though.
**Edit** I realise that is just what displays in the phonebook so it probably doesn't make a difference.

Hey Buddy,
I know this sounds like BS but what I said earlier actually works for me - I actually tested it this time... haha
When I tick phone whilst google is selected then back out of it or hit phonebook again it reloads the people view then when I hit add phone is now default location.
Then I unticked phone hit back or phonebook again - people reloaded again and when I went into add Google was the default.

didnt work for me. even with phone unticked and contacts not showing for phone, only google, i add a new contact and it still goes to phone. how do you get it from phone in to google? wen i try to import from phone it says it cant find a vcard on phone.
Edit: figured out how to copy phone contacts to google, was mentioned earlier.... but you have to copy them all! you cant choose what you want. This is some messed up stuff. I think i'll try the aosp contacts instead.

I know right. This is a pretty big damn bug if you ask me. Probably one of the biggest if you rely on dependable contacts and phone numbers. It wouldn't be so bad for the everyday user but we are constantly formatting our phones. It was never never ever never an issue before. Everything was saved n Google period. Why do we even need separate sim and phone contacts? I wonder if it has something to do with ATT contacts app. Has anyone called ATTor HTC?

I bet you just hit the nail on the head about the AT&T contacts. If you have android there is absolutely NO reason not to sync with gmail. We shouldn't have to make sure we're choosing it every effen time.

What are the exact files needed to swap the dialer and contacts from sense to aosp? I'd be willing to switch.

This issue is also on the international version as well so it's most likely some stupid oversight on htc's part. Tried looking through some files in apk to see if it may be an easy switch but have not found anything yet but will keep looking

Thank you very much. Good to know you are trying.

You are not picky buddy. It is annoying.

Please explain to me...

Hey guys,
Could someone please explain to me why the HOX is so inferior to the iPhone 4S as far as sending and recieving pictures via mms and email. I very rarely am able to actually recieve pics sent by text, and I have to send pictures individually over email versus 2,3 or even 4 pics per email on the iPhone. Video's are totally out of the question on the HOX. This is really the only complaint I have with the HTC. Is thee anything i can do, or are we just screwed?

I send and receive images all the time with no issues. Perhaps you're misplacing blame?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

It's not that hard to add another contact in the "To" line in the Gmail app.
And are you using a different SMS app? Maybe it's AT&T, I only get EDGE on my HOX cause I'm on T-mobile.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X

Yeah I've never had a problem with mms messages either, and I can also attach as many pictures to an email as I want. I think you've got something else going on because these definitely aren't HOX related issues.

He probably doesn't know how to use anything besides an iPhone, I just sent an email to 3 people without having to remake the same email.
From my sexy white, Nocturnaled HTC One X

I don't use the stock mail app, but gmail allows me to attach plenty of pics. My brother has a 4s, even he can't send large vids via email, we use YouTube for that.
Are you stock or rooted or ....can you be more specific?

No problems here bro. Stock messaging app and gmail work fine too... So does k-9 mail..
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

Not receiving sms/mms probably has to do with the carrier and not the phone. I've never had any issues sending or receiving picture messages.
As far as sending multiple pictures per email, this isn't that hard either. Open gallery, press the share button and chose your method (example Gmail), then select the pictures you want to attach and hit next. Gmail will open with all the pictures attached and all you gotta do is enter email address (one or multiple).

Pretty easy to see how you got to 2,000+ posts. Do you ever add anything constructive?
Misplacing blame? What a bunch of over sensitive girls. I asked some simple questions and asked for advice. I have never been able to get a video to play from gmail on this phone. I am constantly having people ask me if I got the pictures they texted me. Several times today I tried to email 4 pictures at once. Every time it failed. Finally had to end them individually and they all went through. I'm on AT&T. Handcent SMS and the stock ICS email app.
Metalhead, you seem to be the only one mature enough to give a straight answer. What do you suggest I look at to fix these problems?

I have had the same problem with the mail app connected to exchange on wifi, it wouldn't let me send an email with pics. It might just be the stock rom causing issues.

Need some more information. Rooted? stock? rom? Handcent works fine for me, i'm rooted, can add multiple pics, it does resize them cos its an 8mp camera, i use the gmail mail app and can easily send to multiple recipients with multiple attachments. Dont use the ICS mail app, like gmail one better.

"Misplacing blame" was a fancy way of calling you an idiot. You didnt ask specific questions as much as you did complain and compare the one x to the iPhone.
Maybe if you weren't a retard, you'd be able to figure out how to use your device. Good luck, chief.

Coming from an iPhone, I definitely recommend the JB Messaging (formerly ICS Messaging) from the Google Play Store.
Pair this with SMS Popup and it is really great, especially compared to BiteSMS.

OP, your scenario is strange. I haven't had either of the issues that you are experiencing since I've had my HOX. MMS messages send and receive just fine for me and I have no problem sending multiple pictures via the Gmail app.
In the past I have had these issues on other phones, but it was usually due to AT&T network issues. Have you tried holding the power button down for ten seconds? This is supposed to simulate a battery pull. Beyond that, maybe a master reset?

Thanks for the heads up! JB Messaging is awesome.
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL on Rogers.

As far as the email issue, some more info would help. Is it gmail, exchange, hotmail, or what?
You have to remember that you're sending what can be large files, and you can end up with a size limitation there, which largely depends on your email provider and what they allow/tolerate.
As to the MMS issues, do try stock. 3rd party apps have been known to not always play nice on various devices, particularly brand new ones, and especially brand new ones running custom ROMs. So it could be that, or carrier issues, or the other party's carrier, etc.
Finally, before completely knocking the phone and pissing off people who a) like said phone and b) actually know a few things that can help, check the attitude and tone it down. Don't get pissed at the responses you get when you march in the door and, quite loudly, let your ignorance show.

Actually.... Some of the most insightful things I've heard have been from drunk people.
I haven't had the photo problem, the video issue was just that my files were too large, I toned down the quality and was fine.
