Anyone Know a Workaround for Email Client Mobile Android BG Issues?

When I spoke to Litmus they told me that their Android 5.0 and 6.0 native previews show the default app which is included in the vanilla Android OS (which vendors can then make changes to), rather than the Samsung Mail app. If like me you test on a real Samsung device running 6.0 then you'll see background images just fine. Android is a hot mess of fragmentation, but based on this most people will be using the beefed up Samsung version: https://opensignal.com/reports/2015/08/android-fragmentation/

Though if you were to test on a bunch of non-Samsung devices who knows as everyone does their own thing - if anyone can share some bg support from other manufacturers that would be great - but my feeling is bg images are still generally OK on Android native 5.1 and 6.0.

Ive noticed the same thing and also curious to know if anyone has a workaround :-)

I'm having the exact same problem as you. https://litmus.com/checklist/emails/public/2250caf

If anyone has a solution I would be grateful.

Hi Jerome,

Can you paste some code for the offending area and someone can have a look at it and/or test it.

Cheers
