Stock Email App Thread Button not working - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see the thread button with a count, but when I tap it, nothing happens. All the other buttons on the bottom row work - reply, forward, delete. My swipes work both left and right (be nice if I could switch those in options though). Seems like everything is normal except that Thread button just won't click - tried in portrait and landscape so it's not like that corner of the touchscreen is dead.
I've rebooted a bunch of times, but I'm not really looking forward to wiping the phone. My email app likely has a bug in it or is misconfigured (or both). I have not found anyone else reporting this issue on the web, but then again searching for the word "thread" is a real issue with forums using that word plentifully.
My stock email is version 3.3.17 on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Marshmallow. In the application manager I don't have any options to clear cache for that app.
Anyone else run into this??

Can you launch mail using the icon in the app drawer?

Yes.
Why would that matter?

Remove the icon from the home screen, then add it back?

Sorry, misunderstood. This is stock email?
Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

Yes stock Samsung email app

I try this and it worked on mine.
Go to Security -- other security setting - device administrator - turn off email
This will erase all mail account.
After that go to Applications -- Application manager -- Email -- Storage -- Clear both Data and Cache
Open Email app again and set up account again. Thread button should work.

How do you post using the XDA Premium App?

I can't seem to figure out how to post using the app, only lets me read, but not comment. What has to be done so I can comment while using it???
Have you signed in to your account within the app? Once signed in you have the option of a longpress on a message in a thread to bring up options. Also a press of a menu button on your device (if you have a menu key) should also bring up reply options while reading a thread.
good day.
If you do not sign in the menu's will not have the reply, comment, edit, or new thread options
Where is the official thread of this app?

Go Launcher EX v2.71 (Tab Optimized)

I gave go launcher another shot since the released a newer version that isn't a beta. been using all day and its NICE! I only have noticed 2 bugs, which is a slight freeze in screen transition that only happens randomly and not a bother. the other is that it seems to default to the first page sometimes, although the 3rd is my home page. overall, excellent job by the Go Dev team... really like what they've done so far and look forward to updates.
one suggestion if you have an older version already installed, try uninstalling, then do a fresh installation of the updated version. that gave me the best results, rather than installing on top of the previous version.
Needs some more work. Would like it if you could hide the dock bar completely or make the dock bar rotate when in landscape.

It still isn't really tablet optimized. The "zoom to fill screen" & "stretch to fill screen" toggle is still there. That has to go. I can deal with that in an app, but not in my home launcher.

Huh? You can do both. (assuming you refering to GoLaunchers dock) I have it as my downwardgesture to hide/show dock.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
i didn't notice the stretch to zoom until I read your post, so I guess it doesn't bother me. as for the dock, it can be hidden easily as already stated.
Tech support from GO launcher developer is nonexistent. I have contacted them 3 times since December 20th and nothing. their launcher is not bad, but I do not like the home button in the app drawer, and so far I have been unable to find a way to turn the damn thing off.
If I can't get this resolved here pretty soon I will be uninstalling and finding another launcher and uninstalling the GO launcher
Why does this 'home' button bother you? Theme it to a black bar and hide it...?

I just meant that it would be nice to be able to disable the dock all together. No need for gestures at all.
waste of space in the app drawer

Just changing the theme color to "hide" the button itself doesn't stop the "soft" button's operation, for me it is a useless waste of space in the app drawer and limits the scaling of the app count layout on the screen, I am lazy and the fewer swipes to scroll through the full app drawer the better. I have used other launchers and they have the capability to switch the app drawer home "soft" button on or off so I do not see why this is a problem to implement in one of their updates.
The worst problem is NO response from their tech support after multiple contacts; not even a HI, confirmation of receipt, we will look into it, or F U, nothing... and on principal -- I do not put up with piss poor customer support for anything, there are too many other option available.
I cannot get the Dock to rotate into landscape. Running current version , 2.75!

How do you rotate it? You are right, gestures can hide it.
I agree the 'Home Button' is a nauseated icon. I used to use Vertical sliding but the icon has reverted me back to horizontal loop of which became my preference to organize different screens in the app drawer, so I understand what you mean.
I had some difficulty reaching out to them also. Eventually they responded. I found the only way they respond is thru the Feedback part within the app. I also found that making the words very minimal (?), not so.... Uhhh, technical? Their 'Engrish' is very limited. Once I even used pics with circles and lines to describe something.

Well, there is an option within GoLauncher that allows the setting. Press Menu from home screen, Preferences, Operation Settings. On top is the Screen Orientation. GoLauncher does not override whatever you have set Android to. For instance, mine is set to AutoRotation, but my tablet is locked in VerticalMode so it never moves.
I would also like to point out that in Horizontal mode, you can not put the dock on the side... But I like that idea and I'm probably going to suggest that to the dev team right after I finish this msg...

Blocking mode

I was going through the settings and found out blocking mode. So thought of sharing here. I is very usefull when u don't want any calls and want to use your internet. No file moddiNg nothing is needed. U just need a launcher like apex or nova.
THEN just long press on home screen and select shortcut--> activities-->find settings and in settings search for the activity named 'blocking mode'.
That's all folks.
Edit : its not working. Hope someone would find how to make it work.
Naaah. Cant find it ! :|
Edit. Found it. but i have a shortcut on homescreen only. Not in settings :/
Edit again. NOT WORKING. GETTING CALLS AND NOTIFICATIONS EVEN AFTER ACTIVATION.
Actually I found out that somehow Samsung has hidden and/disabled many USEFUL features (and Blocking Mode is one of them...)
I tried to re-enable it but my Settings app kept force closing - proving that I must have been wrong somewhere....

Just tried all these, the launcher, Google now, and Hangouts work.
Touchless control still works with the new version of Now.
Hangouts seems a little slow to send SMS, but that might be my specific conversation list, as they are all huge amounts of messages. Emoji are present in Hangouts and send fine.
Launcher runs incredibly smooth and flawlessly.
I don't see a difference between the stock gallery app on my moto x and the new one. Camera works, but the buttons are stretched off the screen and selecting photosphere crashes the app.
OK, now use Google now. Force close.

Try to add another widget or icon, when you do move it to the right edge of the screen, another page will then appear.

Probably not, it was designed specifically for the Nexus 5 so something like that makes sense to be off. Why would you want to replace your Moto X camera with the N5 one anyway? you would lose specific Moto X features.

[Q] Slow Share menu

Since the most recent update, my Share menu takes a long time to come up when I share a link from apps. Apps I can duplicate the issue with (because I use them all the time) are Reddit Sync Pro and Reddit Now, but it seems to be system-wide. It takes a good 5-10 seconds for the share menu to come up.
I cleared Dalvik and cache and the issue persists. Once, I took a screenshot and when I tapped "share" in the notification shade, it rebooted the phone. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? There's nothing else weird on my phone. I don't have Xposed or anything. It's just rooted.
I installed the application "appchooser" as a replacement for the system app chooser and now it's back to being fast like it was, but I'm trying to confirm whether or not anyone else has seen this issue after the update, as it's definitely something i have never seen before.
No issues here
I just performed the same steps and my share menu options come up for me instantly, but the only options I have beside the default are Skype and LINE. I would suggest trying to uninstall the Reddit apps, then try again and see if it's still slow. If that resolves it, I would write to the developer of the Reddit app and make them aware of the behavior.

Thanks. The thing is, it was coming up instantly in both apps before the Cyanogenmod update. And it's weird that it wouldn't affect a share app replacement like appchooser.

Quite... I'm on 30O as well. It's a rather bizarre issue isn't it. Nonetheless, I'd try what I recommended first. This is the troubleshooting process mate. It's a process of elimination.
I have two One's both updated to 4.4.4 and both share functions are messed up. It's definitely the software. Here's how I came to that conclusion. One of my phones is stock everything, no mods and or root. I took the ota the conventional way. The share feature no matter what app I'm using displays an black screen. The second phone is modded, rooted, custom recovery, and it was updated manually using Caulk's modded files. Its share function does exactly the same thing as the non modded phone does. It worked fine on 4.4.2

Well that's quite bizarre then. I have unlocked, rooted, with OTA 30O and my sharing functionality works just fine. I've shared several things since my update as well.
Report the issue on the official CM site so the developers can look into it.

You should be able to set it as your default app chooser. I did.
I have been trying to find that option in settings but don't see it, I see the set SMS app. Usually on a TW or non CM ROM it always asks you the default app but it didn't ask me. Maybe I'll try clearing defaults and see if that helps.

Nah. The first time you share something after you install it, you should have the "always" and "just once" options.
Strange because Google Chrome doesn't give me that option. I understand what your saying. What I did was installed a different browser and sure enough it asked which default app I wanted to use. So I cleared Chrome and same as before it doesn't ask me for the default app. So I think it might be the updated chrome.

OK, so honest question... What's wrong with the built-in chooser? I mean, what's the advantage to using a third-party one? I generally prefer to run as close to native as possibly for performance reasons and to avoid bugs just like this one.

Did you read ANY of the thread? The bug is in the stock chooser, at least for us. We're only using a third party one to circumvent the bug.
To answer your question, the only real advantage otherwise is that you can remove things you don't want to see on your share menu. So, if you NEVER share to Google+, for instance, you can remove it so it doesn't show up as an option. You can restore these later, if you want them back.

Nice! Glad you got it working. I use Chrome Beta as my default browser.
I misunderstood then because I thought it was the app you were having issues with. In that case, I refer back to my first reply. I am also using the stock chooser and have not had this issue after updating, so it seems it's not universal. For whatever reason you guys got the bug while I did not.

It's amazing how much damage theming does. It even causes issues with Play Store.
Yeah, sadly there are some issues, but this is the biggest I found.
How long does the share menu need to show up on your phones? On my OPO it needs about 1 sec in chrome and under 1 sec in every other app.
I have a feeling that the menu opened quicker before...

I'm having this issue too and its so frustrating. It started happening when I updated to Marshmallow. I'm using the default theme, so it's probably not what causes it for me. Sharing from Youtube isn't slow though, but that's a different menu I guess.
Any suggestions?
