Help - Blackjack SGH-I607 Re: Gmail App HTTPS problem

Hi everyone, i bought a blackjack for cingular.
I downloaded an installed the Gmail.com/app
it runs on Java, and its an application to access your gmail account without using a web browser.

The problem I'm having is that when I start the program is asks "Gmail is trying to use HTTPS for communication."
I click Allow, but nothing happens and the message shows up 3 or 4 more times then it just stops.

I've looked in preferences for java, and the only option it has for HTTPS is "oneshot" or do not allow.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same issue. I tried to configure the application permissions but there is no option for 'allow network connection' or something of that sort.

Was anybody able to run gmail or google maps on his bj ?

Thanks

I couldn't even get as far as you two did! The silly program wouldn't accept any text input for user name and password. Just echoed blank fields as I typed.

I think it has to do with the version of Java installed on the phone. I want to upgrade it, but i don't know how

I tried Google Maps, something I really wanted as I used it on my BlackBerry, on my BlackJack. However, the HTTP permissions was so annoying I had to get rid of it. There was no option to "always allow" which meant that every time I scrolled the map around, I had to grant access to the internet. Stupid and insane.

If there is a way to fix the permissions on the BlackJack, I'm all ears as well...

I'm having the same annoying issue. I think we'll either have to wait for a fix from Samsung (doubt it) or Google (completely possible).

that's really annoying. I bought this phone just so I could have a qwerty kb for gmail and it doesnt even work. I guess Ill just return it and get a A707

Instead of getting rid of the BlackJack, why not use the built in e-mail client and check gMail through POP3? The settings, in case you weren't aware, are:

POP3: pop.gmail.com
SMTP: cwmx.com (gMail's SMTP is smtp.gmail.com, but Cingular requires that you use their mail exchange to send mail)

Hope this helps.

You know it is this kind of thing that makes me wish Java would just go away. I can't think of any application I ever liked in anyway that used Java.

I've never been a fan of Java, either, both on phones and on the PC.
