Email widget with notification number of emails - Motorola Photon 4G

Is there anyway on the Photon to have the Email or Messaging widget show the number of unread emails on it (like in Sense)? I can get a preview of the email's contents, but I just want a number on it of how many there are.

Maybe try this? I haven't done it but it's worth a shot.

Thanks, but I guess I wasn't clear enough. I need it for non-gmail email.

Well you can use K-9 MAIL link it to your corperate, imap,or pop email. It has an unread count icon widget.

I've considered K-9, but have seen too many reports of instability. Sense has a regular email icon with uncount number on it -- why can't there be one for the Photon too?

Lol yea I came from an Evo too..
just loved that Sense,its a no go with the mopho though
I have been using k9 for over a year now and in earlier vs. Yea it had some issues, but the past 4-5 months its been rock solid for me. Even overseas.
There is also another app on the market call email widget pro I think it cost a dollar though. It will give you an unread count widget to your native email apk.
But the icon is so darn ugly

When you say "email widget pro" I assume you mean this one https://market.android.com/details?id=de.foobarsoft.emailwidget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmZvb2JhcnNvZnQuZW1haWx3aWRnZXQiXQ.. that I found in the Market for $1.92.
However, it says in the description "* Motorolla (Droid/DroidX/Defy...) only with root (please read additional info on my website! )".
I am talking about using it on a Photon which is NOT rooted. Do you know if it will work on that?

Worst case scenario you could buy it and test within the 15 minute refund window. If it doesn't work just get a refund.

Facebook for sgh-i777

Has anyone else been having a horrible experience with the Facebook app, force closes, data dropping off etc.

Nope. But it's a known culprit for being a huge battery waster. I'd say cut your loses and freeze it. There's better alternatives on the market.

Back when I had the captivate, the facebook app crashed incessantly. With the GII, however, I haven't had it crash even once.
I usually remove the one in /system and install it from Market.
The current version is MUCH better than it was in early 2011. I've only had it go nuts on the wakelocks once.

I have been using Friendcaster Pro ever since a couple weeks after buying my Infuse back in June, and will be using it when I get my SGS2 today. Way better app. The last major update even added a dark theme which made me love it even more.
Facebook app always sucked.
Is the only difference between pro and free the ads?

The facebook app on iphone is a joke. If you try to view a picture from someone 50% of the time it won't load the same picture you clicked on, and when it does load the right one and you comment on it, it leaves the comment on a completely different picture.

Cerberus Security App

I just wanted to let everyone know that this excellent security app is offering FREE life time memberships (licenses basically) until February 29th to mark having a hundred thousand users. To get it, just install the apk, create an account, than go here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFR4VHNka3czd2FJV2FIaXFYTHp0aGc6MQ
The best thing about Cerberus is it's root permissions to do things like force GPS on if it's off, take pictures if people try and access your phone and email the picture to you, and of course send it's location to you along with standard wipe my phone functionality. Definitely worth checking out. You can find it in ROM Manager or on the Market. If you get it from ROM Manager it will install the apk into your system apps so that it survives factory resets and will still provide all of it's functionality.
Oh and I'm sourcing the find to Android Police.

Is there some reason why you are resurrecting a nearly year old thread in the Evo 3D forums to ask a question about the Note 2?

Doesn't delete messages at the cap

I use handcent and the default app. I've set them both to delete messages after 4350 per thread is reached but neither of them actually do it. It results in breaking the stock app around 4600 messages. Any ideas?

FB Notifications

Is anyone else having problems receiving their Facebook notifications on the EvoLte? I wonder if it's the aggressive task manager that's messing with it.

Stop.
No.
The Facebook app just sucks. It always has.
Never liked the FB app much, I turned off notifications, but didn't seem to get any for the first three days when it was set to refresh every so hours.
The only reason why I asked is because I didn't have any issues on my OG evo and my wife's 3d notifications work ok as well.

I think Verizon is sexting you. Have you tried responding with a sexy selfie?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
It's Verizon's Backup Assistant being stupid. Not recognizing your phone. Try uninstalling the BUA app from the phone, and log into your MyVerizon account and turn it off. No harm doing this since you have an android phone and Google's backups are much better than Verizon's BUA.
Go to your my Verizon account, remove all email addresses from your vz backup feature in "manage email settings", hit apply. You will then get a text saying VZWUEP: DELETE. This confirms the texts should stop.
