I have two email accounts that I receive push notifications for (hotmail, gmail).
When I open my email shortcut that I placed on my home screen, it defaults to the gmail account. Is there any way to make a shortcut that goes directly to the combined view (to show mail from both accounts in the same view)? I find it slightly annoying to have to switch back and forth to view my unread emails.
BTW: I'm running Xtreme's Senseless ICS ROM
Thanks

It shouldn't be that hard to figure out but it is. Why is there no clear cut way to show the combined inbox? Luckily another thread explained it...You have to create a widget and the widget can be selected to show the combined view, this will give you consistent combined view when you click on it. I just upgraded to CyanogenMod 4.2.2 Jellybean and it has the same deficiency. You'd think that there would be an option somewhere. Find a Google developer to fix this please.

Guys,
I have my rooted Atrix running Launcher Pro - working just great. However, I'm trying to add a Shortcut to one of my Email accounts to the Home Screen - which I have done 100 times before with other Android devices....you click on Add Shortcut, select Email - and then it asks you which account you want the shortcut to go to - and you select it. Easy - BUT - it isn't working form me on the Atrix....even after a reboot post-adding the new email accounts. For the life of me - I can't seem to get this to work. When I go to Add Shortcut and select Applications, and then select "Email" - it goes to my Default account - and won't let me change it.
WTF? It's earliy on a Sunday morning and maybe my coffee hasn't kicked-in yet...granted...but what am I missing here? This is driving me batty!
Please help - thanks!
As far as i know this is how it works on all moto phones. There are 3 email shortcuts:
1. Default account
2. Messaging -> folder with all accounts
3. Gmail - Gmail push app
Maybe there is a 3rd party app, but I have not heard of one.
I have a custom slider that opens the inbox of a specific email account. If I make the slider using the email app then it brings me to a screen which has all of the day's calendar events and a link at the top for "all inboxes" with an unread count. In order to go directly to an inbox I have it opening a Shortcut rather than the email app itself which does what I want but I can't get an unread count on it the icon. I have the ADW Notifier app installed and the SMS part works just fine. Am I missing something?
I'm using WidgetLocker with ADWNotifier too, but i couldn't make it show counts for calls/emails. Works fine for sms unread count only. Don't know what's wrong as i set it correctly.
Hello - I come from a Galaxy Nexus and love the S3, but the black backgrounds for the Exchange Email inbox and SMS inbox are not my favourites and I would prefer dark text on a light background. (I know the email messages themselves are black on white - that is good, but I would prefer the inbox to look this way as well)
I cannot find any way to change this within the standard functionality of the current firmware. Is it possible to do this without flashing a whole new ROM? (I have rooted the device but am on a standard build still)
Many thanks for any pointers.
Regards
Neil Gardner
For SMS inbox: open the messaging app, press menu button, tap "Settings", tap "Background style". Done. This is on stock. Not sure about the Email though.
Thanks for the reply - that does change the SMS history just fine - I hadn't looked at the SMS app too closely as it's mainly the email that's frustrating. Still no progress there unfortunately.

Hello guys, is it possible to make Sony top contacts widget show only the people in my favorite group. The description of the program say its possible but i can't find such option anywhere . I don't want it to show my recent + my favorites .
you should log in online example using your facebook account to log in, once log in it will take a minute or two to load your recent contacts, then you can manage it, just uncheck the contacts you dont want to load on widget.
just click the settings button on top contact widget then click the contact, there you can set now which contact you want to reflect on your widget.

Am i don't have facebook account.
Hi. I was wondering if it's possible to show notifications from gmail and/or facebook for the 5 contacts I have on my edge screen? I don't mean a distinct, separate notification; I mean linked to the contact so that when I get a notification from them, it appears in the same way a txt message would. It does appear to work for the Samsung email app, but not for gmail or FB.
Edit: Just saw the title typo. D'oh!!
