[Q] Problems with Yahoo Mail - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone suggest why Yahoo Mail won't display emails on my Note 10.1 GT-N8020?
Yahoo Mail works fine on my Note GT-N7000 but on the tablet, I can only see folders. When I click on any email to read it, nothing happens. The native email app works fine.
I'm running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 on both devices.
I tried flushing the cache and uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works.

I'm having the same problem, Nothing seems to work to fix it.

I don't use Yahoo mail, and you didn't share a picture of what you're seeing. Going by some other badly designed apps, I wonder if there's a pullable tab/pane that you're not noticing that would bring the view out (like a sliding drawer).
Edit: I went to install it, to try and help. There's a notice that they're aware of issues when trying to view mail. They suggest clearing your cache for the app should help resolve the problem, which OP has already done. :/
Edit: I installed the app. Awesome! The message pane flashes every time you pick a new mail to view, and the loading spinner just spins. Oy.

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.

Thanks for the replies. Seems Yahoo has stuffed something up real good like the almost universally disliked upgrade to Neo.

Bloo 1.5, not available on market, but you can probably find it at any of the popular file charing websites (mods: its a free app, so im not promoting warez)...or if youd like i can upload the .apk for you to download and try out
It has chat, notifications for EVERYTHING (including wall/status posts, photo comments, etc.), birthday alerts...pretty much everything
Great!Can you upload the .apk please?
Enjoy....let me know what you think....and dont forget to slam the "thanks" button, glad to help
I just tried this but I can't get facebook to give me the six digit code I need. I gives me an error to try again later. I guess I'll have to do that and see what happens.

a lot of people have this issue. i pulled this from the developers blog (http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/), give it a shot, and report back
Update: Kate from the comments provided some instructions to get the 6 digit code! Thank you Kate!
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*Note* I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I hope this helps out a lot of people!
That wireless flawlessly. You saved me alot of time later on trying to figure that out. There is one option I see missing. The search option. I don't want to scroll through all my friends just to get to one of their pages.
Edit, I figured it out how to do it.

well you can either use the side scroller, or long press your phones menu button to bring up your keyboard, and it searches as you type
or if your phone has a search button, just press that
One more thing: keep in mind this app isnt flawless, it may suck your battery a little bit....and also ive noticed that if you get multiple notifications in a shrot period of time, it might skip over some......other than those two things, its certainly good enough that ive been using it since its release
Does it let you edit and post comments?

Guys I need help.I can't seem to view photos of myself or other people.It says there's no album.And events are not shown too...
You cant easily click a photo on the facebook apps stream and have it point you to the photo, usually it dumps you to the profile instead...
Sort of on topic sort of off topic...
I don't think people should have to make better alternatives to the Facebook app.
I think facebook should get their bloody act together and give us a suitable app that:
Has all the features of the utterly fantastic Iphone one.
DOES NOT RAPE BATTERY.
If everyone rates it 1 star we will get an update. simple as that...
Personally I have uninstalled Facebook, wiped it from the system folder, I use SyncMyPix for contact photos and I use Tweetdeck to pull in my facebook updates. for anything else I need on facebook I use the touch site...because what the app carried on sending you to anyway...
Ive noticed ive gained 3hours per charge since uninstalling all traces of facebook. It is just poorly coded, poorly presented, crippled bloatware.
The new F-plus on the market is pretty good. Offers push notifications and news feed now. Doesnt have chat. Go facebook chat is pretty good though.
I definintely like f+ better, I think I'll keep it and use it.

Google Reader app other than Newsr?

Newsr had a couple of problems that I will report to the developer but I was wondering if there is an app that can mark as read while you scroll instead of clicking on each feed to mark as read.
Thanks!
i use feedly on both my phone and TF, its awesome on both.
I use feedly as well. Its awesome

Retab is pretty good
Check out news360 also. Pretty good news aggregator and awesome concept
Feedly is awesome. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
News360 widget is slick!
Taptu for me. Tried the others and they don't seem so easily customisable and simple yet slick to use.
I'm quite enjoying Pulse. It can import your Google Reader feeds (although it can't export its own feeds back to Reader), and for any feeds you have in both Reader and Pulse, the has-been-read flag will be synced.

You can actually get it to sync? I've tried it several times and all I get is to check network connectivity.
Personally I've yet to find one I really like.
Feedly doesn't seem to sync fully or quickly for me. There have been times that I know I've read an article already and it still shows up. Also I find the layout kind of non-intuitive. When I hit "home" on it I keep getting back to different places.
Retab has a better layout, if a bit crude at the higher levels. Once I'm in a section though it does flow nicely. The problem again is that it doesn't sync or track the read state between levels. If I go into my "android" reader folder and read all of the articles it still shows I have unread when I go back up to the top level until I hit refresh.
News360 is cool looking but dead in the water for me. Twitter and Facebook are the dumbest places to look if you're trying to predict what I like to read. How about, oh I don't know, my google reader account? No? Ok, I'll take a look again when you decide that I can decide what I want to read on my own.
My real issue with all of the tablet readers is that they've all focused on being "different" with their look and feel and have failed with the basic fucntion of getting my news and keeping it organized efficiently. That's probably why I keep going back to NewsRob. It's butt ugly on a tablet, but it syncs appropriately and uses local cacheing so the whole damn list doesn't re-load every time I open the app.

Please do let me know what those issues are, so I can fix them.
I have a beta right now that improves the "mark all as read" performance in a serious way.

I sent you a PM about those. Not sure if you received it.
The bugs are:
1) In portrait mode, the app still shows the three columns.
2) Feeds that are in other languages (right-to-left) display the div/html code in title bar.
Thanks!
Is there any chance you could make Newsr sync items that are shared by my contacts under the contact name as a separate feed as per the Google Reader website? Currently the only way to see them is by looking at "All Items".
Also, can you make Newsr sync read items as well as unread? Sometimes I accidentally mark something as read and then want to go back to read it again. I can't seem to do this with Newsr.

I second this.
Also, I just discovered the open-article-with-inapp-browser button. How about loading all links in-app instead of opening the Browser? Example: digg articles.
+1 for Pulse here as well. I'm loving the interface and search function.
Pulse is no good if you have lots of friends in Google who share things and you want to share stuff with them.
The integration isn't there, it just grabs the feeds and that's it.

Best answer I could find, and it makes sense:
This isn't possible from an OS level. That share menu is populated by Android based on what apps you've installed declare they can open. You can look at the technical details here, but the end result is that without extra coding from each individual app to filter the results, you are always going to get the full list in whatever order Android returns them in.

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/is-there-a-way-to-edit-the-share-menu
Basically in the apps code somewhere it states that it has the ability to use the Share function, so it's automatically added. Without removing the code or removing the app altogether, Android sees the app and adds it. Might be something someone a lot smarter than myself would be able to write an app that manipulates this somehow. But from what I'm seeing it hasn't been done.
thanks man, its ok if just cant be done, everything has limitations...
Would it be possible to have a separate share app that lets you add options (like "SMS to Bob") as well as hide some of the defaults? That app itself could be registered as a "sharing" app (maybe sorting to the top of the list?) or could be launched individually. So a process flow could be to launch this share app, load up the gallery, choose the photo, choose the destination. And that process would be just as convenient as launching the gallery, choosing the photo, selecting to share, and selecting the destination. Same number of steps.

Using Exchange email with Email.apk and hitting Reply All keeps adding me to the cc!

Exactly as the title says
If i email a person at my company with my phone, it goes directly to them
If they reply, it comes directly to me
If i reply - my default setting is Reply All - it adds my email to the CC
So because they emailed me, and im replying All, it adds me again!
This is fairly annoying!
Anyone else?
I don't reply often from my phone, but the one time I did, it also added me on CC. Kinda annoying.
Haha! So I'm not alone!
Try this though... Create sub folders under your inbox folder and try to use the mail widget for your inbox folder... Or, same thing with the unread email search folder. See if it ever updates after the message is marked as read, or retrieve new unread messages even...
IMO, Google really fudged the corporate mail app in kit Kat... Highly disappointing for a company with ample resources to do better.

It never used to do it in 4.3, started in 4.4. It does it for me on my Nexus 4 now it's upgraded also.
Seriously annoying.
Someone has opened a bug here: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62722 - you may wish to star it in the hope it gets noticed/fixed.

[Q] email app destination prediction

Before the upgrade to Lollipop the email application would predict destinations based on emails received, even if I didn't have them in my contacts.
For instance If I received a mail from someone new called "John Doe" even if I didn't have it in my contacts. If I started a new mail and started typing in the To: "Joh... I would get a suggestion for this guy address or similar ones, including the matching contacts in my contact list.
Is there any way to retrieve this behaviour? Why has Sony/Google remove such thing? In a day to day work environment is very annoying to have to add every single person I receive emails from to my contact list.
Thanks in advance!
It is not removed. And always after a major upgrade it is best to do a factory reset.
Seriously that's the only option?
We have several cases in the office, including boss, and I'd like to keep android, but if what you say is true... sounds very unreliable for work.

Give it a try, crossing from KK to L is a major firmware upgrade. A factory reset is necessary.
My email app works great, all the functions.
It is not unreliable, it's a must, after that it will be ok.
So I recommend a clean install.
P.S.
You can try to go to Settings : Apps : All : Email - and clear data, before you follow my first advice.
Thanks for the advice, if it works for you, certainly worth a try, at lease clearing data, even if I have to configure all the accounts again )

sorry for the delay, as I had the testing mobile getting fixed. As you say it works, or so it does with a mobile recently reset to factory status.
Thanks again for your time.
Now I'm into trying to find how to make whatsapp not using the lolillpop semi-drop down notifications, just to show with the icon in the notification bar as it did in kitkat (lollipop changed many things indeed).

No problem, I had a little vacation myself.
About the notification, try a third party app from PlayStore.

It's really the new "heads-up" notification method in lollipop, that is mandatory with no way to disable it unless you use a modded solution.
Problem is our phone has little modding yet. Will keep an eye for options.
