Anyone have a "message/missed call/SMS/MmS" or any combo of those in a standalone applet (not part of HTC home)? I finally have my today screen just the way I like it (with the clock/date I want), and all the other stuff - just need that to top it off
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Battery status . Phone alarm.
wireless sync from verizon has a today screen line that does that, i think its today screen notifications. dont know how to get it without wireless sync though.
Google "PeraCount". Nice small footprint. Does what you want. Free.
Thanks guys!!
what do you have for clock and date??

Hi,
I've installed Lockscreen Agenda on my SGS2 but during the day I notice that sometimes it gets killed by the system. I've already went to the Lockscreen Agenda settings and checked the option "Persistent Mode" (which is supposed to prevent the system from killing it) but the issue persists. I've also notice that sometimes the Lockscreen Agenda takes like a second or two to show up once I wake up the phone (not always, but sometimes).
Any thoughts on both matters?
thanks
Rafa
Nobody?.....
No answers for you, but I have downloaded it as it looks like a great app!
It IS a great little app...and I don't know why, but it just stopped getting killed
Im interested in seeing what small helpful features everyone is finding buried in HC. Im also making sure there isn't any settings I'm not aware of that could be making my experience with HC even better. This may be helpful to many of us who just recently became acquainted to View 4G through numerous internet fire-sales.
I have 2 helpful tips, though they are small. I don't think these are specific to HC, but i think they help.
1. There is a slight screen animation when you exit an app and return to the home screen. It occurs on pretty much every screen change, its like its growing/expanding. Anyway this animation mixed with straining to see the smaller app icon text and smaller widgets of HC may make you nauseous after seeing it over and over again. Just go to Settings/Screen/Animation and set it to no animations. My stock weather widget still does its cool full screen animations, so i don't think i'm missing out on any good animations by changing this setting.
2. For better battery life:
a. use airplane mode.
b. use a wifi widget for quick, convenient on/off toggle. If i mostly keep wifi off my tablet lasts forever for reading, drawing etc.
c. set your screen to timeout after 1 minute or less. Settings/Screen/Timeout
d. set the brightness to low. I keep mine as low as it goes and turn automatic off. Settings/Screen/Brightness
[Q] if you could just tap the wifi icon in the new hc soft status bar to toggle on/off without it taking u all the way to the settings menu that would be amazing- Am i missing something? If its going to hog screen space it should be a super convenient status bar equipped with this feature-
Hi,
I am fairly new to Android 4.1, I once had a 2.3 device with HTC sense and thought it was horrible. I changed to WP 7.5 which I love, but somehow got bored with it. Now playing with my Gnex, I notice that it's quite cumbersome to get to the clock alarm settings? I would either have to use a widget or put the clock icon on a homescreen. I think it would be great if the pull-down menu had a shortcut to the alarm settings, by tapping on the time/date at the top. Would also be great if the same thing with different function would be implemented for the battery icon, showing a percentage... currently I use a third party app to show % in the taskbar up top. (even Symbian can do this).
Does google have a site for feature suggestions like this?

Is there a way to get notification previews on the lock screen on the Z2? (Pop up box in center screen a la ios)
Have had a quick search on here and couldn't find any info, also been through a load of settings etc but havent stumbled across it.
I assumed it would be an option, without having to download another app.
Any help appreciated!

You'll have to wait for Android L or use an app like Knock².

Edit: Turns out the feature you want is not yet released in Knock, and will only be available in a later version. Sorry bout that.

This is a response on another forum I did but it suits this situation so it's just a copy and past. Wasn't sure if you meant a response to sms or just notifications but both are covered.
You have 2 options really. I just am using them both as had enough of the standard text app telling me I had a message after I read it in the notification bar (there is a easier way but I liked all programs so kept using them). There are other apps but I use Chomp SMS to replace the standard messaging app. This will give you the option of reply bubble without going into the messaging app like Iphone.

Other options are Textra, GoSMS, Handcent...
But I have taken it on set further and use Nils which without the quick reply of Chomp SMS to give me the listed messages on the lockscreen as a widget. You can then just go straight to the message app from the lockscreen to answer if you hold and swipe.

This will become redundant once we get 4.4.4 where it become standard in android.
If you just looking after preview you could go one or the other without getting both. I liked ChompSMS so matched it with nils. Also can use Icon Changer if you dont like the Icon for Chomp SMS which I will probably do.
All programs are free and available from the Play store. And you keep the original lock screen as I like the unlock method as well.
Thank you for your reply.
I'll check these out for sure.
Its funny, having been ios for 5 years, there are little things I miss.
What I don't miss is the godawful piece of trash known as 'iTunes'!!
(My main reason for ditching my iPhone, the other being I love my Nexus 7 and my little Nook HD)
Also just read up on Android L, lets hope the update rolls out to us Z2 users swiftly!
Thanks Again

You can enable the Android L feature already if you are rooted.
I have it and it's brilliant. Root the phone, install Xposed, install Heads Up Notifications, and voila.
I also have Light Flow installed (this doesn't require root). This basically turns on your phone's screen when you receive a notification (you can customise it to decide which notifications you want). It used to really annoy me how the Z2 didn't turn on when a notification was received.
Now, thanks to xposed, Heads Up Notifications and Light Flow (lite), I have the perfect setup.
Have a question hope you can help. I was getting weird text from a random number the other day so I blocked it. But in doing so I block all my messages notification so it does not tell me when I have a message. I've been trying to undo it but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Thank you
Coming from a LGv20, where I used the following combo: Cute little bar at the top showed time & an icon for missed notifications (similar to the Always On Display), and an app called Dynamic Notifications.
The idea on the 2 of those, was: If I got a notification while I was able to look at my phone, Dynamic would show it to me, along with a preview of what the message is. You can slide to open it, ignore it for now, or delete it (depending on the app). If I wasn't looking at my phone, I'd at least see an icon on the top bar so I knew to go look.
AOD does fine for the time & you missed a notification, but when I get one, and my phone is sitting next to me, it's annoying to unlock the phone to check the notification.
Sadly, AOD & Dynamic notifications don't seem to work well together.

Now when the phone is on, I'm not getting my heads-up notifications, and I don't know i the LG did it on its own..o what. So I'm using an app called Heads-up at the moment. Heads-up also has a turn-on-phone feature, so I'm testing it and AOD display as a combination.
Oddly though, Go SMS isn't working with Heads-up, and I'm not always getting the Go SMS built in popup.
---
SO.. what is everyone doing for notification, both with phone on & off?
One last thing - edge lighting - looks neat, but I never put my phone face down. Would kind of kill AOD anyway, no?
