Who likes/dislikes the gmail update?

DarkMenace · Jun 7, 2013

I'm running the 4.5 update and it looks real nice. Contact images show up on the emails.

Are you talking about the 4.5 Version? It seems a little "kid-ish" to me. Especially when I am not receiving emails from other gmail users. All I see are random colored blocks with the first letter of everyone's name before the email.

I am not sure if there are more tweaks/features.. but so far I'm not impressed.

Yea the blocks for the highlighted letter of the email is kind of stupid. I do however like the option to finally empty the trash

Don't like the blocks.
Don't like when you change archive and delete options to show archive and delete it changes the swipe setting to archive) I was using it for delete.

+1 on being able to empty trash.

im not impressed with it either. its harder to delete email for one, and still no option to delete individual emails instead of the whole "conversation". At least online, there is a setting to turn conversation view on or off. That needs to be in the app as well. and i agree that the colored blocks need to change. the contact pics are ok, but colors aren't. you can shut that off though in the settings....

You can remove the blocks and pics of other users if you wish. There is an option under settings. Since I removed the blocks..... I love it!

I use aquamail instead of gmail. It's a lot more customizable and the IMAP push works perfectly with gmail account.

Yeah, I dislike that as well. Have to long-press then get the delete option.

I quit using Gmail for my work mail because of the inability to delete individual messages. If someone responds ”thanks”, I have no interest in keeping those !

I agree, I delete them on the web version too, to keep it clean. But yet they still show up on the app...Lol...go figure

I use K9 which doesn't do conversation mode by default.

Long press is the delete? Thanks, I was wondering how to do that. Major dislike.

I feel like they went more towards a windows look now :\ but it's ok, just getting used to it

I don't like the new look. I'm glad I can hide those stupid colored boxes, but the emails are still too big when scrolling through them.

DarkMenace · Jun 8, 2013

I kind of like the boxes. It gives me an ideal of who's calling.

True. Then again, I hardly ever use my s3 for actual phone calls. :laugh:
