Anybody come across this, I have a hotmail and two gmail accounts set up on the phone.

Everytime I get an email from my hotmail account it comes through twice, once to hotmail and a second time to a combined inbox. It's very annoying, getting notified twice for every message. Even if I delete it when it first comes through to hotmail, I get notified again a few minutes later.

Anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks
Dave

Hey Dave, which email client are you using? The Stock email app, Gmail, Hotmail etc.?

sounds like you are using 2 email apps on the phone.
either unlink your hotmail from your gmail or stop using the second app

I've had the Samsung S3 for a number of weeks, but in the last 2 days the following icon has started to appear in the top bar. It's the one in the top left corner.

I've rebooted the device, ran an avast security check, closed all open applications, cleared memory using the RAM manager. Anyone got any ideas as to what it is? Or is there an application that can tell me what it is? I've got no bogus apps installed, and using the stock ROM.

Davie89, have you tried turning off notifications in Settings --> <Hotmail account> --> Notification settings ?

Hey guys,

Thought I'd share, I managed to install the stock ICS keyboard following instructions from here, very simple!

I actually prefer it much more than the stock Samsung keyboard, much easier to use! Hope this helps some of you!

Might give this a go myself. Sammy's version of swype is pretty useless imo, it requires much more precision than Swype and i'm ALWAYS getting caught with autocorrect-style typos... doing my nut in!!

Have tried both Swiftkey and Samsungs own and the best one so far is the stock ICS one, it's so simple to use and really quick. Just like my old HTC.

BTW, another tip is to hide the voice command button to the symbols screen and you get the , on the bottom left, not sure about you guys, but it suits me a hell of a lot!

Do all Samsung Galaxys have 4G? Even though no Irish networks have 4G

Samsung's version is head wreaking after using the proper version. Is there anyway to put the regular Swype on?

I use Swype, get it from their website, it's a beta so it's not in the market

Dingatron · 24-07-2012 6:39pm

Ah didn't realise it was still in beta. Thanks I'll get a copy off the site.

I'm having no problems with it. I noticed it's a lot better than it was on my Galaxy S as I kept restoring from Titanium backup, mustn't have been updating. There are now new features I didn't have, it now learns words from Twitter, FB, Gmail and SMS to dictionary

100,000,000 times better. Can't believe how long I stuck with the default keyboard. haven't noticed anything as yet amiss either.

If you have your phone unlocked, don't update. someone reports its locking the sim again and can't be unlocked.

Just tried there got this message:

Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later.

On Emobile the last update was slow for me and I had an awful job trying to get Kies to recognise my phone. This certainly looks more promising!

I wouldn't be in a rush to apply this update

Samsung strips international Galaxy S III local search with sneaky update

Billed as a “stability” update by Samsung itself, the new software actually strips local search functionality from the Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone

Well Fcuk. I installed it without even thinking. I cant check whether its SIM locked now or not. Keep getting "Connection Problem or invalid MMI code"

Cyrus · 25-07-2012 10:13am

I just assumed the sim unlock was permanent, i guess not

elderlemon · 25-07-2012 11:21am
