[Q] Updates and notifications - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi another question, in attempt to preserve battery life, is there a way to change email notification, like how on the iphone, your email only syncs when you open it.
How would I go about that? thanks!

In the email settings there is an option for how frequently the phone will check for messages. You can change this to never check and it will just refresh when the app is opened.

Can't find anything like that in the Gmail app

Annoying Facebook quirk

I'm using the standard Facebook app and so far its great. The new update makes it better but there is still an annoying issue that hasn't changed. When I go in to check my notifications I select one and it takes me to the mobile version instead of staying in the app. I've looked through the Derrick gs and haven't been able to find a way to change that. I emailed the devs but haven't heard back yet. Is there a way to change it so it doesn't open notifications in the browser?

i think that is what it is meant to do unfortunately

Message count in SMS/MMS app

Does anyone know how to get the number of messages to show next to the contact's name in the stock SMS/MMS app? Thanks in advance.

I do not see an option for it, which leads me to believe that you will have to use a 3rd party SMS app if you want that feature.
Hey! try usin go sms or handcent sms from the market!

I would defiantly give handcent a go its got some pretty good extras also like multicoloured notification LED light depending on event and also you can show a SMS when the screen is locked for quick reply.
Well that's the thing, I meant without a third-party app, like it is on stock Android. I've had Go SMS, but I prefer to have notification icons that actually match with the app, I guess.

iPhone reminder-like app?

I'm looking for a reminder app that I can open - set what i need to do, set what time to remind me just a simple one such as on iOS its simple right?
I'm guessing we can't make it pop up etc. but it showing up on notifications is good enough.
What kinds of apps are there? Oh and it has to be offline based, i don't want to be have to connected to the internet to remind me of something.
Thanks
You just described Google calendar unless I am missing something?

Use your calendar? You can set the event to go off to a silent alarm

[Q] Can you get XDA Notifications on your phone?

I was wondering if you could get XDA notifications when someone has quoted you etc. on your phone when using the XDA App? I have the app and I have went into the settings and set it to check every 5 minutes but it doesn't seem to be working. I must be missing something or maybe it isn't possible.
Thanks everyone.

Problem with email lockscreen notifications

I am using the stock email application and have been getting problems with email notification numbers being wrong on the lockscreen. I have 2 email accounts set up and the lockscreen maybe be saying that I have for instance 5 unread emails but actually I have none.
Anyone else having this and know how to get over it? How does the lockscreen get its information? It can't be from the email app itself as the 2 don't tally.

It gets the numbers from the email service, the same the app uses. Likely a bug on Sony side here, report it on their forums.
Seems odd as the app will be saying '0' unread mail, if I check my yahoo acount via the computer it will say '0' however the lockscreen notification might say 10 or whatever. Had this on gingerbread and now on ics. How is it that nobody else has noticed or raised this? Seems the only option is to switch off that notification so it doesn't keep telling me I have something I dont.

YES!!!
I also have this problem!
From what I can work out, it seems to be something to do with when you download your emails to your pc.
for me, the unread count worked ok (from fresh firmware flash) UNTIL i went on my pc and used outlook on there to see my emails, after this point, the phones email count went haywire. It seems that the phone is not taking into account that previous emails have now gone from the server, and into your pc's email program. so the 'unread' count keeps accumulating.
However, if i exclusively use the email app in the phone, the unread count remains correct (as i did this for a while while i had no internet at home)
It may be the phone, it may be outlooks settings, it may be my email provider? i don't know, it is bloody annoying though!
I get my emails through my own domain name which is hosted by one.com, and its set up as an imap account, i'm quite sure it does the same when set up as a pop account...
Fixed for me: Notifications has a little bug, if you have unread email in the delete box then you will have notification as new or unread email. goto delete box either empty them or mark all read
