Is there a bug in the stock email program? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I try to forward or reply to an email, the the incoming message doesn't appear in reply?. How do I make it retain the messages so that all correspondences are retained in the body.
Thanks

Yep there is a bug. Have it in many s3 too. Very annoying

Yes there is a bug! The stock Email app, not Gmail, sucks! It doesn't load images by default even I set it to do so. Very frustrating!

HTC Mail Notifications

Hi!
I'm having 2 problems with the mail notifications:
1. Sporadically loosing notifications.
Sometimes, my Email-notification just won't work.
That is, I receive an email but it won't vibrate, notify or play the sound :S
There's like 2-3 seconds before the app updates and there I can see that there is a new email and sometimes when it updates and there is even newer mail, those will be downloaded after update is complete.
2. Sounds and vibrates twice.
When I do get an email notification, the phone alerts and vibrates twice, even though there is only one notification in the statusbar and only 1 email recieved.
This started after I updated to 2.21.401.10
I have re-added the account and turned off notifications in the Gmail-app..
Any ideas?
I'm also having the issue of my One S not playing any notification sound when I receive a mail.
I don't have "refresh on open" set up, so I know it's an older message sitting there in my inbox, but no notification about it. Is it btw. normal that all the mail I receive is already marked as read?
EDIT: Running stock Rom with the 4.0.4 Android OTA Update and using IMAP on Yahoo Mail.
I found something related to issue #2...
When I get an email and doesn't clear it from the notification bar, it chimes every 5 minutes to remind me. Loving it during the night!
Maybe this is the culprit to the whole issue...So how do I get rid of it?

my one s also not playing sounds or vibrating for new emails. even though its all been enabled in settings
Same here: One S playing notification sound twice upon receiving new email. It happens just sometimes, apparently random. Never had this issue until 2.21...
I think that push mail also doesn't always work: a few times it seems to not download email until I wake the phone. Not sure on this though.
Mine doesn't notify me for text messages at time.
Has someone ever solved the problem of the email notification ringing twice?

[Q] Long Texts Turn Into Random Characters

No matter what ROM I flash when I send a long text that converts to MMS it turns into random garbled characters. It appears to send fine on my end but whoever I send it to gets an unreadable text. This happens with every ROM and with any messaging app I try. I'll attach a screenshot of what it looks like. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
Also...
I have tried multiple messaging apps such as Handcent and I get the same results. I'm aware that I can split the messages into multiple SMS as a workaround but I really just want it to convert long messages to MMS like it supposed to and not send them as garbage. Thanks.
Ummmm.....I could be wrong, but I don't believe that has ever worked??? Have had my ns4g for over a year and it has always had to split SMS......or at least I have always set it to split......
10....0011....10101
Ok, that's kinda what I figured. Thanks for the quick reply.

[Q] Hangouts not always giving notification of recieved message

I have posted here but recieved no answer. I figured my question belongs here anyway, so I won't bump the other thread.
I am trying to use Hangouts as my default SMS app (It is also currently the only SMS app installed on my device) because I do like it. However I noticed that sometimes I don't get any notification when I recieve a text message, no vibration, nor sound nor notification in the status bar. As a result, I miss quite a lot of texts. Notice that I do recieve those texts, if I check the app they are there, text bold to indicate they are not yet read. I just don't get the notification. Also, most of the time I do get the notifications without a problem. So to be clear, this is about some SMS's, not about all.
As far as I know this happens when I recieve the message very shortly after I put down my phone (my routine: send text, press 'backbutton' once to get in the hangouts overview, and then I press power to shut of the screen and put the phone down.) If I get a message let's say within half a minute of me turning of the screen I won't have a clue I recieved the message until I go look in hangouts to check. This happens often when someone is quick to respond to my own message, but could maybe be happening with other messages I recieve in that time. I don't think this happens to messages I recieve when the screen has been off for a time, but I can't say that with certainty.
I have a HTC One S currently running CM11, but I had this problem on stock ROM too. However never with the HTC stock messaging app.
I have found similar problems here on the forums, but no satifying answers. I hope someone has a solution?

Notifications - Don't automatically clear...

I have a question about the clearing of notifications. I have the international version. I have noticed that when I get a notification, say a text message, or an email, when I click on it, it takes me to the application. I look at the message or email and go about my business.
The notification still shows in the shade as if I haven't looked at the message. I have to swipe it clear. I don't have this problem on my other phones. It's kind of a niggle with me right now. I enjoy everything else with phone. Anyone else having this issue? It happens with stock messaging, google messaging, sometimes with inbox, nine mail, mailwise mail, stock email app...
It sures is a bug, I don' have that.
Have you installed Good lock ?

no. If others aren't experiencing this, perhaps I should reset, and re-road my apps. Wonder if it has to do with LED-Blinker pro....it's an app I have installed that controls the LED notifications similar to light flow...that'll be the first app I remove...
and the culprit was LED-Blinker Pro...removed and issue is gone...

email app work around?

Does anyone know a workaround for using the stock email app. I absolutely hate using it but I can't get the correct notifications and things to work on my watch if I don't. I was using Aquamail on my phone but it doesn't really work on the watch very well. This thing need root! My Huawei is fun but I do like the S3 better.
I use Nine Outlook for Android, it plays very well with both Tizen and Android Wear. I don't create emails from my watch but when I get an email that comes in on Nine I can delete/mark as read/flag for follow up/show on phone/clear/reply/reply all. I mostly either mark as read or delete the emails. I occasionally respond.
It works great. If you are looking to create an email you can't do it with Nine on the watch.
I use my mail app, which has all my email account in one app.
To see the notifications I use an app called notification wear.
Once installed you get all the notifications for email, whatsapp, facebook and so on. It also stores your recieves messages so you reply to them. I like the stock notification where once you have opened it, it's gone.

What isn't explained too well is how to delete a message.
So I'll try to explain.
For example, if you receive a whatsapp message. You swipe left once to read, you can then scroll up and down.
Swipe left twice to reply, you can rely by typing or voice.
To delete that message. Go back to 1st screen of the message and swipe right.
When you receive a message, it stores the sender. So you can reply at any time.
Just one major drawback. When you turn off the watch, you loose all contacts that messaged you. So you need to wait till they send again and then it is stored until your restart your watch.

I downloaded and installed it yesterday on my S3 Frontier. I had high hopes as I've been looking for a way to display notifications from my default mail app on my Samsung phone - which is Aquamail - and the problem is that sometimes new email notifications come up on the watch and other times they don't - there's just no consistency. But frankly this Notifications Wear app is awful.
Firstly, it doesn't actually integrate with the native notifications interface on the S3 watch (which is found by turning bezel anti-clockwise from home screen) but instead the notifications come in via its own app on the Gear, so you have to run that. An then the app interface itself is awful. Looks like it was designed by a 2 year old. The first line or two of the notification displays in a tiny letterbox style space. And it's also not intuitiave at all how to read them fully. I kept accidentally deleting notifications completely by swiping right after tapping on the notifications. The app developer also doesn't seem to have even settled on the name of his app. The app logo calls it "Notifications Wear Style" but the app title is "Notifications Style Gear S2/S3". On your watch it displays app name as "NWS S2". And you have to install the separate app on your phone - which is not of course a problem in ittself - it's just that again the app is hideous. I can honestly say this is the most amateur looking and poorly designed app I've EVER seen!
I don't have such a problem with it. Yes it does not interact with the native notification but I turn it off and just accept this app. As long as you receive the notification it does not matter if it's the native app or not.
As you I made the mistake of swiping right and deleting everything but once I realised what I was doing I easily adapted. I can use the bezel instead of swiping to see the message, reply or delete.
Correct the first screen is a small window of the message, turn the bezel or swipe to the left for the full message and you can scroll up and down to read it all.
There is an option to change the font size if it's too big or small.
It could do with better instructions, once you get the hang of it, it's easy.
Receive message notification :
Swipe left once to read, twice to reply.
Delete is swipe right.
I use MY MAIL for my emails. I have Hotmail, Gmail and yahoo,i receive all of them.
As for the appearance, yes it could be much better, but is there another app that can do better than this?

Maye there is not a better app available, but I am trying to use this on on a phone which costs 350 - 400 dollars depending where you buy it, so I don't want an app on the phone that looks like it was designed by a two year old. Sorry but it's just awful.
For me, functionality comes before appearance and its not that bad.
When I receive a whatsapp message, the background is of the photo from the sender.
When I receive an email it's just plain black.
The issue I have is when you turn your watch off and you loose all messages and contacts. Messages I don't mind loosing so much as they are still stored on the phone. But I'd like to have my contacts stored on the watch.
Until someone comes up with a better alternative then I'm happy using this one.
