And why did they mess up the email app?
Two inboxes, one app, one icon.
It says I have two new emails, but I don't know on what account(s) until I do some clicking around...
So someone at Google really thought this was a good idea? 
And I also really hate verification codes.
Apparently WhatsApp can send one verification code every 8 hours.
So I logged in on my new phone, asked for a verification code, and choose not to restore any backups (because I don't have any).
Decided to create a backup the next morning, so I log in to my old phone, asked for a verification code, and created the backup.
No way to log in to my new phone again, because I have to wait 8 hours for a new verification code...
Who are the geniuses that come up with these ideas? 
On a positive note, the new phone makes awesome pictures (of my cat) 
And I feel like a secret agent every time I unlock my phone with my finger print

It's a pain, yes - but it's pretty easy to work out: the "other" accounts are at the bottom on the left if it's the GMail app. I use it to have a "tablet only" account so I can email stuff to myself for later.
And the new phone ... it doesn't feel at all ... warm ... does it?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

The pictures that phone take are amazing...
I ditched the Samsung app time ago and I switched to Microsoft Outlook, and it is a real joy.
If you have not tried it, just do it, you won't regret it.

The Outlook app doesn't show the number of unread emails on the tile.
I guess I'd rather have the number of combined new emails than no number at all...

You can get the number thingies ("badges", they call them) by using a different launcher. I use Apex launcher, where it's a paid feature, but others do it for free.

Yeah, I have the unread GMail badge app.
But I can't find it for Exchange.
Tried some launchers. They change my entire phone (and not for the better), but don't add a friggin unread email badge for Exchange.
How hard is it to just have such a basic feature as separate badges with unread counter for separate email accounts?

I've just seen that Samsung has "samsung focus" which should solve your issue.
As far as I know it allows only one email account, but I am not sure about that.
There is also the blackberry hub which is promising it I've not used it.

I have an S4 and a 3-legged cat.
If I upgrade one do I need to upgrade the other? Takes pretty good pictures of the cat now.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

No need, both the S4 and the S7 can make great pictures of three-legged cats and above 
If you're planning to upgrade to the S5 or S6 you may want to check first though. If you buy one and the cat doesn't turn out nice on the pictures you don't have a leg to stand on

If I buy one of them new fangled 3D printers guess I could always print him a new leg?

Just make sure your printer is compatible with your cat.
You don't your cat to end up like this[^] or this[^]... 
|
|
|
|
|
This[^] is a picture of the breed. I don't think the compatibility is going to be a issue.

No need for the printer, there's an extra leg available here[^]
Hopefully the color matches coz painting is not cheap.
Sin tack ear lol
Pressing the "Any" key may be continuate

You could actually downgrade, because the cat doesn't take up so many pixels.

What the elephant were MS thinking when they created the ASP.NET Web API project template? Even on v2, your API comes with client side scripts, views, stylesheets, and fonts, and when the API gets an exception, its response is an elephantine HTML page!

It might have something to do with creating customized help pages, etc.

Um, you can work with an exception in code (try/catch, etc.) work with the http response, etc. ASP.Net throws all unhandled exceptions to a page, don't they? So, why would a "web" API be any different?
|

It definitely should be different, otherwise the would not be different application types for web sites and for APIs. The global error response for an API should be in JSON, or at worst XML. An API shouldn't have any 'pages' at all, custom or not.
One is designed for human consumption, and the other not. Give each something they can more easily understand.
For reasons of lengthy explanation, my attempted try-catch inside an async action method was never hit.

I have worked on Web API's extensively for over 3 years now, and have not had any issues or complaints that were bad enough for me, to come to codeproject with. Just saying... 
I understand you are frustrated, and you are just venting.

All I wanted was a "therefore" symbol.
So I went to programs > accessories, to find that the only accessory you get, with winio, is IE (so they've installed two, count 'em, Internet browsers that I will never use). No character looker-upper thing.
I had to search for the damned thing (by typing its name into a little white box), which became much easier when I finally remembered that it's called CharMap.exe.
I went through several fonts (including the wingdings, symbol, and marlett), but couldn't find (or couldn't see) the therefore symbol.
By then, almost ten minutes had been consumed, when all I wanted to do was type a single character, so I was getting a tad peeved.
... So I opened CP, and copied it out of @W∴ Balboos' username.
Let's see you get that kind of context-specific help from SE!
Um, or SO, either...

enable touch screen and try drawing it with your finger .... nope, doesn't work either.

What font were you trying to use? Arial (the default in CharMap) doesn't have it (for some strange reason), but Cambria Math (should be available) does.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I can.t even find it Cambria Nath. Snowblind, by now.

Open CharMap, tick the 'Advanced View' checkbox at the bottom, and use the new edit area at the bottom to search for characters. Quite easy.

What am I supposed to type in as a search string, if I can't type the character?
