Hello!
My phone is galaxy S5 with Android 4.2.2
I recently added my work e-mail (exchange server) to my android EMail app. Im also syncing tasks and calendar. Now Im having a little problem with notifications... If I have some meeting added in calendar with reminder (default 15min) - my Phone buzzes aswell, but the annoying part - it does it TWICE (See attachment).
My guess - One of the reminders is comming from Calendar, other one - from email app or Tasks...
I didnt find anywhere to disable notifications regarding specific calendar entry or mail app. Anyone can help disable one of the notifications?

Hi Folks,
I have been using an iPhone 3G till now and just made the switch to Android. Just received my Atrix today and spent time getting familiar with Android/Motoblur and setting things up.
Now, I am really confused between these three apps
1. Email
2. Messaging
3. Gmail
From the time I've spend playing around, I know that Email and Messaging look pretty much the same, except that messaging also has text messages. So why do we have these two separate apps? Then there is Gmail. If I have a gmail account, should I add it to the Motoblur accounts or set it up with the Gmail app? Why are there so many overlapping apps?
Basically all I want is a single app where I can check all my emails from different accounts just like iPhone's native email app.
Please be easy on me as I am an android newbie Thanks in advance!
- Gmail is Google's gmail app that supports multiple gmail accounts
- Email is Moto's email app that supports different types of email accounts (integrated with MotoBlur)
- Messaging is Moto's text and MMS app

"Messaging" actually integrates texts, GMail, and the MotoBlur Email client. There is also a "Text Messaging" app that just handles texts. If you use the "Messaging" widget, you can even get FB messages on it.
Oops, I stand corrected. Was thinking about the captivate's Messaging.

To answer your other question, if you want to use the Moto "Messaging" with Universal Inbox then all you have to do is go to Accounts and select Google at the bottom and deselect "Sync Email" and then just setup your Gmail through Moto's Email client and you can get all your emails (just once) in the universal inbox. If you use both then you will receive redundant notifications for your Gmail.
I'm using default GMail linked to Android Google account as only mail in phone. Problem is, that Sense+ designer probably missed, that someone actualy use GMail instead of internal Mail and here comes problem.
Lockscreen productivity tab - mail and calendar shows only calendar, because (I assume) it expects mails in Mail app. And because I use GMail, there are none.
Camera app share function offers by default Mail to send a picture, GMail option is cleverly hidden under More. And you cant rearrange it, so you have to make one more click and scroll to GMail option.
And probably more, just getting used to work with phone and still didnt explore everything. Am I missing some settings where I can choose default mail app representing Mail option in different programs, or GMail works like completely separate app and it has to be supported directly?
Did you download a Gmail app and that is what you are using? I would think in the general mail app that comes installed with the phone you can add a gmail account to it and it would then link to all functions of the phone. Not sure of your question? Are you using a 3rd party app download for your mail and expecting it to work with all the stock mail functions of the phone?
No when you setup your phone first time then you have to link it at least to google (gmail) account. And this account uses preinstalled gmail app instead default mail. If i wanted to use default mail app, then i would have to add my gmail acc manually, resulting in two apps syncyng same mails (you cant selectively disable gmail sync from google account).
Maybe im missing something as relativelly new android user or it looks like that system is set to use by default gmail app for google account defined mail and ignores system mail app, resulting in problems in (and not only) sense apps.

I'm picking this device up as it's announced Friday to be released here in the US on ATT. Until then, can't help much.
What i would try is hard reset phone, on intial setup do not sync with gmail as it asks, then once phone is set up open the default mail app, manually add your gmail account, now see if you get the home/lockscreen notifications you are looking for. If anything it would be a jellybean 4.1 or sense 4+ issue, doubt it's the actually hardware phone issue. Still though, you would think if you enter your gmail info from the set up prompt that it would sync with the gmail and stock mail app and work with all notifications? Would be dumb not to????
Hopefully can get some clarification on this before friday, if not then guess i'll find out myself.
By default if you fill in Google account during setup it links this mail to GMail app, which is hardcoded in system (cant uninstall, just disable). And it is not the same as default Mail app, which is of course worse than GMail so I would like to keep using GMail. But HTC uses more default Mail in its Sense UI as I mentioned, lockscreen notification (productivity screen) is hardcoded to Mail app only (tested) and Camera is offering Mail in first list for sending picture...

Wow well this sounds very stupid of HTC or whoever made this setup!!! Maybe someone can help us out then and figure a way for Sense and all the notification programs to use the Gmail app as well as the Yahoo or any other hard coded mail app upon intial setup! I know i'll then be in the same boat as you when i pick up my HOX+ from ATT this friday as i use yahoo, gmail, and outlook for work literally all day long! My work is basically through email when i'm not there so to have no or messed up email notifications on when they arrive, i'll be very upset about this!
Maybe a jellybean 4.1 or sense 4+ bug???
I keep getting events on my calendar that are ads for whorebots, what I call the messages from "women " claiming they want sex. I included a screenshot. This is Samsung calendars, which is a system app, right? So on a scale of 1-10, how f*#$ed am I? If the virus is system level, can I even fix it?
File didn't post, apparently..
uninstall any apps that you recently installed.
I just noticed some odd entries on my calendar too. It seems to have something to do with Spammy Emails and how Google/Samsung takes events from your email and enters them onto your calendar

I went into my Samsung calendar and went to "manage calendars ", and I was able to deselect Google email and a few other things. Hopefully that will stop it?
I'm curious if the change in settings stopped your flow of "auto dates" being added to the calendar. Does it add them for emails that get tossed in the junk folder? Gmail has been pretty good about sniffing out the whorebots (I love that name for them). Do the events show up in your Google calendar?
Here is an example of the email and the calendar entry. This is in my Spam folder but still shows up on my calendar. I've turned off calendar notifications to my phone but Reminder emails from the calendar show up in Spam folder.

I literally never even look in my spam folder at all. And unless I hid the icon and forgot, Google calendar isn't installed.
Hi all,
I’m super new to the Amazfit Bip - I have it only since yesterday.
One thing I noticed however is this and I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if there’s a way to fix this:
I have multiple email accounts and multiple calendars on my iPhone 7 (using the default Apple Mail app and the default Apple Calendar app).
It seems that the Amazfit Bip only shows notifications for the default email account and the default calendar (set within the iPhone’s Settings). Meaning I receive notifications for new personal emails but none for my work email and it’s the same for the calendar.
I’m using the official “Mi Fit” app on my iPhone.
Is there a way to change this, so that I’ll see all email and calendar notifications?
Thank you very much for any tips or suggestions!
Wolfgang
I am also facing this same issue and am wondering if there is a fix or loophole for this, too.
Hi all:
* I use the Google Calendar app and you cannot turn on/off calendar accounts in one app without them also being toggled in the native phone calendar app. For eg I have various calendar accounts: Google account, Facebook events, holidays, contact birthdays etc. In Google calendar I toggle these on and they are also automatically toggled in the phone calendar. I go into the phone calendar and toggle off, and they authomatically toggle off in Google Calendar. This causes contact birthdays to be doubled-up and appear twice for every contact in Google Calendar - the one for Google Calendar itself, and the one in phone calendar. I have phone calendar toggled off in Google Calendar and this still happens. Any hints to break this link? I don't need/want/use the phone calendar app at all
* There is a default notification for contact birthdays for the week before the event. Given the above problem this may be the one in either Google Calendar or the phone calendar. I can see the notification rule but can't find the setting to change/delete?
* I've copied my Google contacts to the phone, and now the phone thinks there are 2 versions of every contact. This may be related to the above. How do I delete contacts off the phone but leave Google contacts - these are the only ones I need/want?
* Is there any way to make the native clock app display digital rather than analogue?
* Any hints for increasing the size of previews on the lock screen? I've already tried all the settings I can find
Thanks all in advance!
