Which email program do you use? Do you use the gmail app, the email app, or a separate application?
I personally prefer the look and functionality of the email app, but the quickness of the gmail app and it's push gmail notifications.
anyone else?
Personally, I don't care for either of the email apps on the phone. I use K9 for everything.

k9 you say. i'll look into that.
Don't use the version that's in the Android Market. It's actually an older version. If you search for it on Google, you can get the code.google.com page with the latest version and then Sideload it onto your phone. I believe the latest is 3.102.
Edit: I stand corrected, it's now 3.105

Heh, I already had it downloaded before i read this, but I put the newest version on like you said and the one issue I had is fixed already.
On the market version, it wasn't going directly to my inbox. on the 3.105 it does. I really like this app. thanks for the suggestion.
Anytime
It seems to fill in the voids left by the default Email app that comes with the phone.
I use mail droid but it's still in beta, I can't get links to open the browser sometimes. It does supposedly work with microsoft exchange servers. I'll look into k9

When i tried K9 a month ago, it was agonizingly slow - attributed to the phone lag by most.
Are you guys seeing the lag, or do you have the lag fix installed? Maybe K9 changed something?
Also, have they added real PUSH/Sync yet for Gmail and Exchange or are they still polling and doing WebDav stuff?
Do you have a link for it or what you actually searched for in google, I can not seem to find it.
thanks!

I switched from using the Gmail and Email apps to K-9. So far I prefer it because of the options and the integrated inbox w/ push for my gmail account.
double post...
Thanks, I was thinking it was a google product and was searching for the wrong thing. Just installed it and looks pretty good so far.

Unfortunately, it's still not real push yet, but the app itself does seem to be pretty fast now. But I have it poll every 2 hours and that works fine for me.
Edit: They also seem to be churning out lots of bug fixes and releasing the updated version pretty fast. It went from 3105 to 3107 as of 8 hours prior to this edit.
I have tried quite a few as the stock left a lot to be desired. I used Maildroid,while good, it was very slow for me. I tried Seven until I noticed it sent an international mms everytime you added an account and doesn't do HTML emails. Now I'm down to K-9 which I like, just visually unappealing.
I guess its just trial and error until you find features you like.
After reading this thread I downloaded k9 and I do agree its better than maildroid. It gives the notification faster (i have both running right now) and the universal mailbox is icing on the cake. Thanks guys!

I honestly don't love any mail client. I tried K9, but it is terribly ugly and more importantly than that, it doesn't do pinch zoom smoothly at all. The samsung app is very attractive looking, but its slow as hell and doesn't do push for gmail. Ultimately, I am currently sticking with the gmail app. Since no other app does what I want anyway, I figure why not use the fastest one? With push for gmail and faster performance, I'll switch back to the stock samsung app...maybe in a new version? I guess we'll see...
If only the Gmail app would let you select/copy text from the messages...

I never knew that, then again, never tried to do it.
And for those who say K9 isn't very visually appealing, if it works, and does what you need when you need it to, then I can't see a reason to complain. You could say the same about a car, if it's your only choice, and it gets you from point A to point B in one piece and on time, you take it.
I dunno man, I bought a mercedes cause I like the comfort, it's stylish, and because I simply won't be caught driving a hyundai. Having said that, I just installed K9 and it's pretty ugly, more like driving a kia I suppose. Uninstalling now. Stock gmail app for me it is!

Ok all-
Here is and email apk that was quasi working on my phone when i was running cog beta8. now with beta9 it doesnt work.
I dont know much about odex/deodex or, well anything. I have attached the email.apk
This is the LATEST from the Cyan series. SWEET benefits with this:
- allows you to sync all mail 9instead of just one month)
- signitures work in both new mail and replys
- replys work
and there are many others. The onyl thing that wasnt working the best when i ran it was when trying to select multiple messages, it would FC, along with sometime randomly deleting the account (forcing you reenter all the info).
it also had black notifications, making it hard for our black notification bar.
NOW, heres the request. I dont know much about altering apks or anything to make this work. I am willing to pitch in and pay for someone to get this email.apk running and stable. I m sure that others will too as this is one of the few issues that have been lingering about the 2.2 beta since day one. I have attached the following:
- email.apk
- icons from the samsung email.apk so they show up better on our black
notification bar
Can someone PLEASE look into this.
Whoever can get this working with get some cash from me for beer money!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

Check out this post. I was experiencing the same issue with beta. I posted the steps for another user, the steps taken to install a custom email.apk. Take a look and see if this will work for you.

anyone have any luck getting the ESPN Scorecenter to work and not keep looking for an internet connection? I would think there would be an easy fix...unless ESPN has to be the one to do it.
let me know. thanks!
Update to the latest version, Scorecenter 1.1.0 version 92 is correct this problem for me.
This is bizarre. I have ScoreCenter on my phone, it works great. Tried to install a few days ago on my gtab, it didn't work. With the update it now works, but.... When I launched it it said I was logged in to MYESPN as "Kenny Wheaton." Um, no? I logged out, then started trying to add teams. There were all sorts of teams added that wouldn't be default teams, so I deleted them as I added mine--then they would come back and mine would disappear, in bits and pieces. Clearly two of us were somehow editing one profile. I uninstalled, and am now feeling a bit weirded out.

I had this happen too! When I installed it, it was automatically logged in to an account. Not sure if it was the same as yours. I tried to change favourite teams from ones that I thought were default. Mine would quickly disappear, and others would appear.
I found it quite unnerving, and quickly uninstalled it.
If you read the comments on the market, the latest update seriously hosed the entire program. Tons of complaints. Looks like we have to just wait ESPN to fix it.
Mine is crashing immediately as well. Tried uninstall/re install with no success.
Hello folks, here's the issue. I've been playing around these last two days with a different set of custom ROMs in order to check if it was ROM-specific or not.
The following most updated versions of Twitter clients simply do not work on the Froyo ROMs for Captivate (I9000 based or not) when they do work on Stock JF6/JH7:
Twitter 1.0.5 (official)
Twidroyd 4.2.1
Seesmic 1.4.3
ROMs tested:
aospMOD v1.1
Cognition 2.3b4 / 2.3b6
Perception 3 / 4
AXURA Beta 5
(srsly, I've probably flashed my Cappy as much as the devs might do on a normal day
They simply do not login. I was able to use Twicca Beta, Touiter and TweeDeck on Froyo roms. For all tests I've always went back to JF6 using Odin-1-Click - I did not yet however performed a Master Clear (srsly...) and I'm keeping that as a hail mary.
So far what seems to be related to is that now Twitter is using only OAuth for authentication - so something around that might be the cause, maybe SSL or some other crap - who knows?
So, anyone running these - can you test it?
I haven't had a problem with any Twitter apps and I've flashed almost every ROM you can think of.
Never had a problem. Ran a bunch of different cognition roms, now on perception build 3 I use twicca

This makes absolutely no sense to me anymore. I've did a Master Clear, went to JF6 and then I've installed Stock JJ4 and nothing again.
This is amazingly frustrating....
Bump.
I know I have 2 good answers but I'd like for someone with one these roms to actually go ahead and try Twitter. It'd mena a lot to me

I've tried the perception and axura roms, as well as di11igaf's v2 with no twitter problems. Are you restoring twitter from a backup? Have you tried a fresh install? Does the mobile site work?
I've personally been on all of those except AXURA with no Twitter issues. and I've gone through about every twitter app for android
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Thank you all for the responses!
Fresh start, restoring from backup - even setup a new twitter account (in case it was something related to the connections in Twitter itself) - nothing!
I'll work on this after work today. Gotta head out! Thank you guys!
LOL this is ridiculous.
For some reason I tried using it over cell data today and it worked! Since I do not have a data plan I usuallty try on wifi @home.
When I get back later I will check if it works now that it is connected. Will also check on other wifi networks and probably scrap that damn router
srsly, this is extremely LOL.
The new chat with google without having to wait for 2.3.4. But on the Gtab both screens are turned sideways This is running on Vegan Ginger, someone else test on a different rom and let me know if you have any luck.
face tbe tablet down it will turn normal
Nice find, thanks!
Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, works great! Thanks for finding this!!
Maybe just me, but it may have kept the g tab from falling asleep.
I installed and when i log in it goes to a white screen and says contacts at the top of the screen. Im not quite sure what to do from there or if this is an error. Anyone have any input. Im running vegan ginger rc1. Thanks.

You have to have a contact that is available to do video chat in order to see the contact.
Still can't get it to work properly with Vegan Ginger.
I was able to get it to work, although i get the sideways screen issue -- still a better substitute than having nothing...much better quality that the yahoo messenger video chat

Working on Calk's ROM
I just got this up and running on my GTab running Calk's 1.1 ROM. The picture quality is very pixellated which I assume is because it hasn't been tablet optimized. I'm really just happy that I can actually use the camera for something, GTalk no less!
Wow, Nice find! installed on my gtab running vegan 5.1, made video calls to both my PC and Evo, worked great!
Justim
Running Vegan Ginger RC1 here. The video is rotated 90 degrees on both my end and the computer feed. If it works on Vegan 5.1, I think that's reason enough to switch back to it. This is the missing killer tablet app as far as I'm concerned.
apk?
I am running stock and do not have access to the market. Can someone post the apk please to see if it works on my stock gtab?

Downgraded to vegan 5.1 and she's running perfectly now. Great find guys!
For some reason, I have about a 5 second audio delay on mine. Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, another guy in our office also has a gtab running the same Rom. When we tried VTok on our internal wireless network we got the delay. Haven't tried it on any other system yet.
Anyone else seeing this behavior or have a suggestion for fixing it?
Anyone have this running well on a Gingerbread release?

I wouldn't try to get much of anything to work on a stock G-tab. You need to just go ahead and bite the bullet and install VegaN 5.1 at least. If you stick with the stock ROM you will ALWAYS have problems getting apps that everybody else gets with no problem. If you follow the instructions here at XDA you will get full market access too so there is no downside.
Vtok looks and sounds interesting, but the fact that none of my contacts show up (even though I know they have video set up) tells me that maybe everybody must have Vtok for it to work, like skype, tango, etc. ?

That isn't, or shouldn't be the case. I gave it a spin last night and was able to connect to someone on normal PC Laptop. The person you want to chat with has to be able to use video at that moment or they won't show up in this app. Not intended to be rude, just to give it a little highlight so other's don't miss it and ask the same things later.
I had the same VEGAn Gingerbread issue with the camera rotation, but i've seen that on pretty much every device i've used any video chat on that was geared to be landscape by default.
Video quality was very low, but i'll blame that one a bad internet connection till I have somewhere a little better to test with. Hopefully this is updated to work a little better in the future since it's the most widely usable option outside of Skype(which is still holding onto that video chat function from most of us) or Yahoo(plugin needed for Android), but Yahoo seems to only work for a minute or two before it pretty much destroys the stability of my tablet till I reboot... lol

This is a complete lie!!!
You can install Android Market on a stock firmware, and have access to all of the apps that a custom firmware has access to. Don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about!
