GALAXY S III Email App Has Critical “Large Attachments” Crash Bug

Officially introduced on the market last week, the Galaxy S III is Samsung’s new Android flagship smartphone.

Although the super-phone has been much praised by media and consumers alike, it appears that the device is still plagued by some software bugs. One of these bugs that we have just discovered seems to affect the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync email application. Users who will want to set up their email accounts using through ActiveSync should know that they won’t be able to receive emails with attachments larger than 10MB.

As you can see from the screenshots above, the application cannot load 10MB emails and displays an unexpected error: “Unfortunately, Exchange service has stopped.” The bad news is that users won’t be able to receive any other emails at all, until the 10MB email that triggers the error is deleted via a third-party device (i.e. smartphone, PC). Hopefully, Samsung will take notice of this nasty bug and deploy a fix soon.
