Please correct me if I am mistaken about my understanding of Screen Overlay engineering. Screen overlay is a myopic software engineering concept, where one app competes with another for top position. So if you have an app running that requires screen overlay enabled, any other app you...

I found several online "solutions" to the "Screen overlay detected problem," but none of them work on my AT&T Galaxy S5. The archives at this forum also come up short for me. I'm wondering if I need to root the device. Has anybody found a working solution to this apparently widespread nuisance...

AquaMail did the trick. I was successfully able to send a link to a PC. The link arrived functional. So evidently the stock e-mail app on the Galaxy S5 is poorly engineered; I say this because AT&T had updated my Android OS and all the apps. I'm surprised Google (or is it AT&T?) bundles unstable...

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but why does using the IMAP option duplicate the folders and sloooooow down the process of downloading email by as much as 500%? Concerning my inability to mail hyperlinks from my mobile phone, and now from my PC, I suspect the cause is my mobile net provider...

Well, I found that changing the settings to IMAP server still did not allow me to mail hyperlinks. And the folder structure was duplicated on all my accounts, some folders duplicated multiple times with different grammar--Junk Mail, junkmail. Trash, etc. And downloading mail took 20-30 tomes...

Firstly, I must thank you for your patience. I switched to IMAP server settings on my Galaxy S5 and found that I could not send or receive mail, or test if links can now be mailed. So I called Brighthouse support, who informed me that their server is down, offering an apology. What a...

The resident mail app on my Galaxy S5, running Android v6.0.1 (Marshmellow?) does not offer the option to block or show html content, but Windows Live Mail on my PC does. I have the latter allowing html and can receive hyperlinks from my contacts. The only security setting I changed on the S5 is...

Brighthouse is my ISP, and Windows Live Mail is my e-mail app.

In the left column of the mail client on my Galaxy S5, the folders get duplicated and cannot be deleted. But I am encouraged to learn that an IMAP setup may resolve the problem. I will try an IMAP setup again.

I am using POP3 after experiencing issues with folders in an IMAP account. Are you using IMAP, and can you mail a functional hyperlink to a PC?

From my Galaxy S5, I sent mail to over 70 people, including myself. I asked if they were able to use the link. All the people using a PC reported that the link was functional. All the people using smartphones reported that the link arrived as text only. I find it odd that the link I sent myself...

When I mail a link on my Galaxy S5, the link arrives in working order if the mail is opened on a PC or on my phone (when sent to myself). But a link is received as mere text when opened on a mobile device of someone else. Is there a solution to this problem, without trying a third-party app from...

The following steps worked for me, which I followed after my Galaxy S5 overheated, due to a large download in a warm room. Hopefully the steps will work for you. 1. Let the battery fully discharge. 2. Remove the battery from the device. 3. Leave the battery in your refrigerator overnight. 4...

A Google search reveals that many others are unable to send functional hyperlinks, using the Android OS. The mail client on my Samsung Galaxy S5 suffers the same problem. I don't want to try an alternative app from Google Play as that guarantees endless SPAM. Has anyone found a way to send...

Thanks for kindly lending a hand. I' very grateful for your valuable time. Your steps are terrific.
