Deleted trash
« on: November 26, 2013, 12:35:03 am »
Just looked in my trash folder's folder and found it contained close to 1500 deleted messages. Should there not be an automatic limit to the number of deleted messages kept? Or a simple method of deleting trash?

Thanks

Two parts to this. The number is the number kept on the server if you use imap. It is not clogging up your phone if you use imap.
Second part is "how do I empty trash?"
As my android tablet has developed extreme silliness since upgrading to kitkat, I do not have It with me right now, but I am sure there is an option to empty or purge the trash.
Failing that you should be able to find it using webmail and failing all else, empty it from there.

I use pop3 accounts and because I have 5 mailboxes I'm mainly in the smart folder. No empty trash button that I can find. That's exactly what I was looking for.

(I have avoided kitkat so far. Still on 4.3 till they fix the bugs and apps get updated).

Just found the "empty deleted local". But I had to exit the smart folder to find it.

Kostya, it should really be available from the smart folder menu.

I have deleted the wake lock detector app, after which the device would at least sleep! I have had to remove and reinstall printershare, also kingsoft office. Google drive appeared to have two icons, one correct and the other a generic android robot. Trying to open a previously downloaded file pulled up a list of almost every app that could ever open any file whatever, including four instances of printershare, and two or three of several others. About two screens full..... I also had a problem that the charger was charging very slowly after the update - quite a bit slower than needed to maintain charge when in use. Fixed by simply unplugging at the USB plug end (by the charger) and reconnecting. I have uninstalled and reinstalled every app that showed up with an android robot icon, even if apparently working.
Still have occasional problems watching streamed video for more than a few minutes, after which the device can freeze and has to be rebooted.
Like I said - silliness. Getting better now, but this was NOT a trouble free upgrade....
Incidentally, aqua mail no longer shows up as a significant (>3%) battery user.

What?

No, let me try again:

Whaaaat?

;)

That's gotta get the "best comedy" award at the Oscars.

I did not claim it was logical or explainable. If it was funny, well, please enjoy! Who do I complain to that my Oscar has not arrived?
Maybe my post has lost or gained something in Russian? I doubt it, and wish my Russian had been a tenth as good as your English!
Clearly what I reported as a consequence was more likely a coincidence.

I found several problems after the update, but none with AM:
+ a few apps had 'android robot' icons instead of the right ones.
+ a few apps had two icons - one correct, one android robot.
+ opening a file or attachments for example .doc files resulted in the appearance in the list of several icons for the same app, including four for the printing app I referred to.
A reboot did not change any of this. I eventually uninstalled every app that appeared several times in his way.
+ the battery charger seemed suddenly to not be able to keep up with power drain.
As part of this last problem, I looked at the battery usage graph and found the device APPARENTLY "awake" 100% while the device was on charge but not in use for some hours. I had not then spotted the fact that charging current was also low.
I uninstalled wake lock detector app, as I had never intended to keep it. I only got it while some people were commenting about aqua mail keeping the device awake, but for me this was not a problem. WLD  also had a robot icon so was uninstalled because of that, too. After I had uninstalled it but not, perhaps, BECAUSE I had uninstalled it, the battery usage graph showed the device no longer always awake.
After uninstalling several apps, and reinstalling them, the icons are now correct again, there are no duplicate entries in the 'open using.....' List.
I never reinstalled the wake lock detector app. Probably innocent of all charges but I don't need it anyway. So please laugh away. As a kid I avoided the bears by avoiding the cracks on the pavement. Seemed to work - no bears! That was not logical either, and looking back, quite funny.
The one outstanding problem is that the charger runs at a too low current, unless I unplug the usb cable from the charger end and replug it. Never seen this before the update. Seen consistently since. For this I can only  assume the update has somehow influenced the negotiation between the charger and the device. Timing is the only thing I can think of (based on looking at the USB spec). Even so, I expect this to be in hardware, so still mysterious...
I have a nice screenshot that shows the slope of the charging curve suddenly about five times steeper (or more) after unplugging and replugging the charger cable.

Sorry, I didn't see anything funny in Russian...

That a wake lock detector app would prevent the device from sleeping..... That just seemed really hilarious to me.

What'll they think of next, a freezer that boils food?
