Just got a Samsung BlackJack i607 and love it, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to get the Gmail app to work on it. The app repeatedly asks for permission to use HTTPS for communication, but when I check Smartphone OS permissions for the app, I can't tell it to simply ask once and never again.
Eventually, after 2 or 3 requests, the app simply times out and tells me that I need a working data connection (which I have) to get online.
Any help? |
Same problem here. Have you found a fix?

No, but from some of my research and poking around, it looks like we simply have to wait for an updated version from Google. The client works fine on the 8525, and I even found posts about an IBM Java Midlet manager that it can work on, but there are way too many quirks for it to be usable. Fonts are all jacked up, and whenever it sends/receives data it turns on the vibrator, and sometimes it seems to crash leaving the vibrator running, and only a power cycle will fix the problem.

I have the 8525 and I cannot get it to work. I have the same problems/error you do. Where did you hear that it works fine on the 8525 and can you point me to any 'tutorials' if so?
/thanks and Im new here.

Amazingly enough, I just tried it on my 8525 and it just worked. I did nothing special.

I'm trying to start a grassroots campaign to get Samsung to release a firmware update that fixes the Java permissions problem. I called Samsung L3 tech support and they are aware of the issue, but no fix has been scheduled yet.
Everyone affected by this problem should call 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864) to ask for help on the issue. After initial triage, your call will be forwarded to level 3 support. Politely explain the issue (no selection to permit network access without further prompting) and ask them what they can do. The more calls they get, the more likely they are to release a fix.
This is the only showstopping issue for me re: the Blackjack. I will return the phone unless a fix is promised from Cingular/Samsung.

Ok, so I just tried it again (actually looking to remove the midlet and "reinstall").... yet it miraculously just worked ?! Maybe I had to hold it at a certain angle.
Thanks for the other link too, I appreciate it.
