Revvl 6 Pro Gmail attachments

I found the way around.  I have the yahoo mail act.  I forwarded my gmails with attachments to my yahoo mail and could open and play, show pictures without any problem.   May be other email services like .aol, .net could be used also.

But, as another poster stated you can work around it.  Install any other email manager that permits multiple email account.  I use yahoo mail manager, and installed my sbcglobal account and gmail acccount.  I can download from this email manager all gmail attachments, open pdf files, forward them, print, etc.  No problem.  Works fine.

There may be other solutions in workarounds, but haven't found them yet.  The above works.

Thanks  for  your  workaround. I have read  about  it. I am wondering if T-Mobile support  and T-Mobile  developers  read  this T-Mobile  community  at all?  I  think NO.  Looks  like  T-Mobile  wants  to  give these phones to everyone for  free.  Actually,  I  don't  want  to  create   any  extra accounts  and  install  any extra   applications  just  because  the developers  don't  want  or  can't  do fix  their  mistake.  Besides  this  problem  the  phone  model  has  others  issues,  and  even  native T-Mobile account application  does not work.

These devices are created for T-Mobile and developed for by a third party.  There is a reason why they are handed out for next to nothing.  Because it's as barely close to functional in the hope you eventually purchase something better.  

You are absolutely right. I can not  understand  why  T-Mobile  keeps  selling  this  model.  T-Mobile  should  stop  selling  this phone  and  do not  ruin  its  reputation  as a brand

Support and fully functioning are two very different things.  Gmail works for the most part.  Attachments not working doesn't break the apps function to send and receive Gmail.  Regardless of how you want to look at it.  The app is Google's or whoever they contract to develop it.  Not the carrier.  The carrier is just a retailer and service provider.

This phone works under Android. This is OS that  controls and manages  apps including Google set. Google apps  has  specifications  for  all Andoid versions. Some  old  versions can't  support  this specitications.  But  Revv  6x 5PRG  is working under the fresh Android  version. A few  parts  of software are responsible  for downloading attached files. I mean Download Manager, MIME Type Handling, App Components  etc. It seems to me that  it is the reasons or just access issue in Android.  Before  selling those phones I  should have been  warned  about  this  issue.  Now emailing  is not  only exchanging  short  messages.

This is the issue  only  this particular model. if fact this is  the issue of this  phone software (Android). Why doest T-Mobile  continue  to give  this model with  this  known  issue? It looks  like a bluetooth car  doesn't  work  with  the specific model. The driver  should  claim  to  Toyota  or just   exchange  this  phone?

That's probably a model overlooked by Google or the apps developer.  There are many different criteria a device has to meet for apps to work and some features are limited by device model for whatever reason they chose to limit it.  In some cases, it's an upgrade push, like Microsoft did with Windows 11.  As a tester, I had Windows 11 Pro running on an i7 4770k stock that ran pretty much as well as it did on my Ryzen 5900X system.  The restrictions are more than likely coded into the app.

I do not care about  specific limits.  I know that Google  does not support Huawei,  and I  did not buy Huawei. I  got  this  model  from my provider. I want that this phone supports the set of  basic  standart  application.  Google  set  of applications  is  that  standart. Where am I not right?
