Hi. I am very satisfied with my HTC ONE X. There is just one thing bothering me: It seems to be impossible to display the new arriving mails on my Lock Screen (Productivity). Missed calls, new text messages and my calendar events are no problem, but there is now way to get the new mails on that screen. The settings are correct, but I still don't unsterstand why it doesn't work....
Waiting for HTC support is like hoping for Jesus to appear in front of you ...
By the way, I am using the official Gmail App for my mailing. I also read in another forum that the HTC guys are not to blame: The problem would be coming from Google...
So, what shall I do, did I miss something ?
Does anyone have an idea to help me out, would be highly appreciated !

Are you using a third party launcher? I have found that the Rosie launcher needs to be running in memory for the mail notification to update on the lock screen. It doesn't however have to be your primary launcher. Just create a shortcut to it and launch it whenever the notification icons stop updating. I haven't taken the time to figure out if Android kills the launcher from memory or not during use.
If you go to settings > personalise > lock screen style then go to the productivity option and select settings if you go to the 'display mail from' option it will only allow you to select the accounts you have in the default mail app.
This is slightly odd though as the calendar display options allow you to display calendar items from many more sources that you have already configured (Facebook, Google etc.)
Just for clarification, I have a fully stock HOX.
Thank you for your replies guys. It has strictly nothing to do with thirdpard launchers, or with the settings. It simply doesn't work because it is not the default mail program I am using. Sad but true...

I recently figured that out as well it won't show official Gmail app emails, you need to configure your gmail account into HTCs mail app which is not too bad for Gmail saying that.

Hi. I just got the Galaxy S and set up my uni's Microsoft Exchange Push e-mail on it. It's working well but it's a bit of a pain to open the email app every time I get a new email.
Is there a widget that displays your more recent e-mails? I used to have a HTC Touch HD before so something like the sense e-mail screen would be amazing...
I've had a look around the Market and this forums but no luck so far. Has anyone come across anything like that?
Thanks in advance
correct me if i am wrong but in the normal mail client of the galaxy u can also enter how recent your email must be? so it doesnt show everything all the time?
Not sure you are answering the question here
THe idea is to have a preview of the recent mail on a widget without opening the mail app
I have this kind of widget with Touchdown but the problem is that you have to pay for this app and it's 20$!!
I didn't find somwthing like the sense widget for the mail ...

Nicolas
Moxier Mail has a preview widget, of sorts, or use Pure Messanger with K9 plugin.

&
Pure messenger (1.49 Euro i think)
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.koxx.pure_messenger
But i found it a bit slow and limited with touchwiz
Works well as a scrollable widget on Launcher Pro though
ah yeah indeed i misunderstood the question. but i dont see the problem anyway when opening e-mail when u have new mail. u even get a nice popup in the top-bar that u have new mail which u can instant open from there..
but then again, maybe it could be better with a widget yea
Thanks for the advise. Guess I'll live with the default email client. It's no problem it's just that 80% of the email I get isn't important so it's nice to get an instant preview to see if it's worth reading
Hi,
I have installed me another calendar app (aCalendar). When i get notifications in the topbar my phone uses the build in calendar. How can i avoid this and use aCalender?
Thanks
Ateshga
You mean you're getting both default calendar and aCalendar notifications at the same time?
Go into the default Calendar app and select the account it's synced too and uncheck the sync box. Then it'll stop notifying you because it won't be synced to new events.
You need to clear defaults for the gmail app. then you can select which app to do the action you want next time you click it.

Doesnt work here.
Is my calender app perhaps the problem? It uses the build in calendar so it might not handle the notifications...
Am i correct? Dont i have to use another app? Which one do you use?
Thanks in advance
@martonikaj no i just get the googlecalendar notification. Sorry overread your question in first place...
Bye
Hi
It doesnt work till today. I tried several calendars now (jorte, quick and lately business calendar) The problem remains The Same: when i pull down Thema notification bar where The event notification pops up and select the event The phone jumps in the Google calendar.
Is this an ICS problem?
What am i doing wrong?
Please help.
Thx
Ateshga
Whichever app is providing the notification will open when you click. You need to set up notification with your desired app and disable notification in the unwanted app - of course, having said that, I'm not sure those options are available, so it may just be easier to freeze the undesired app instead...
Hi i now found my failure: i got what i paid for. Free apps mostly dont support notifications.
I now bought an app (business calendar) and all is fine now.
Seems i have to learn a bit more about the android world.
Thx for the help i got ...
A.
I started using Business Calendar. I removed notifications for the default calendar, but I forgot to remove sync. The notification bar would never clear, now I think I know why. Thanks martonikaj.
Hi!
This is really annoying.
I have unchecked every calendar except my main one.
But the birthdays from the Facebook-calendar is still showing as a notice on the lockscreen. Is there someway around this? Or do I have to send an error report to HTC?
Cheers

Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Productivity* > Settings > Display calendar events from... and select/deselect ones you want to show.
*this assumes you are using this particular theme/skin for locked screen.
I was doing the same as you, thought unchecking the FB calendar in Calendar options/settings would do the trick but no joy - took me a while to figure this out!
Hope it works.

Tryed that,didn't work,i think is a lock screen bug,i am using MILocker now.
As stated above. I does not work, that was the first thing I tried.
It worked for me.
Are you both stock or custom & are you running latest Facebook version?
Perhaps try uninstalling the Facebook app, clearing the app cache & re-installing might help. Then deselect Facebook calendar under app sync options, calendar view and then lock screen settings just to be thorough.
Failing that, not sure what else to try except a hard reset if it bothers you that much!

Hi.
I have setup my lockscreen to show the Productivity Screen.
My agenda is set up to only show my gmail agenda.
Still I only get Facebook notifications shown on lockscreen.
What am I doing wrong here?
grtz,
Twan
nobody?? really??
yes, this is a bumperpost.
Hi,
i am on 1.29 FW and the problem still exists. You can choose the calendars you want to see, but i think HTC forgets to check these settings when showing the entries on the screen.
I hope they fix this in a upcoming FW
I've only just started using this setting so I've not had any Facebook events appear yet but I noticed when you click on a calendar event it takes you to the HTC calendar app where it showed the Facebook calendar. I have unselected it in there and will see how I get on
I have set up mycalendars to not show any Facebook events. It keeps puzzling me.
grtz, Twan
I think is a bug,the only way you can remove the facebook calendar is to go into settings>accounts and remove the facebook account..
I disabled the Facebook calendar sync (settings-accounts-facebook-calendarsync) can't check yet; as there are still some items today.... w'll see....
grtz, Twan
neither the sw upgrade to 29.401.11 nor the setting mentioned in the previous post solves this.
You can swipe through your today calender items on the lockscreen (left + right).
I have this problem too, is it definitely a bug? does anyone know if its fixed in any of the custom ROMs?
I've had this issue since day 1 on my HOX, its made me stop using the Productivity lockscreen unfortunately.
Hope its fixed soon
I've just noticed this too - very annoying! Is there no fix for this then and if not has anyone raised a case ticket with HTC?

Aha! Resolved. Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Settings and at the bottom you can choose which calendars & subsequently their notifications appear on the locked screen.

Hi Gulioth.
Have you actually read the reason for this topic?
The HOX just does not "disable" the FB calendar after you deselect it.
It keeps showing the FB calendar.

Can anyone suggest an alternate email client? I would lie it to do everything the stock one does but with one difference, I would like to move to the next email without returning to the inbox, i.e I am in the body of a message, I have read it and there is an arrow or something that allows me to move straight to the next or previous message, sorry for poor explanation but hopefully you know what I mean!
You can quickly switch between messages the way you describe with K9 mail (I can't post a link -- but google or a play store search for "K9 mail" will find it)
You can do the same too with the ICS Stock email client. That one was one of the best improved applications on ICS and I use that on my H1X along with the 4x4 widget to display emails on one of my home screens.
app called Touchdown
I'm using Touchdown and it works just great for me...

+1 for stock ICS. My only issue remains that the widget "freezes" / doesn't update immediately [this is an issue with ICS or the app, not the H1X]
Another +1 for Touchdown, while reading a message there are options to go to the next or previous email
Enhanced email works really well. I got mine free on the amazon daily promo a while back. It's more or less stock ics email with exchange security settings being configurable.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Thanks for the responses, I will try the stock ics
+1 for K9 mail
however, this is possible in stock sense email app too... you must uncheck "threaded view" option in general settings first, then you can see "next mail" and "previous mail" options in settings when you are viewing any email (three dots options button on upper right corner) in normal view. I know, it is almost same thing with 'back' then tap on next item in threaded view as well, and shame there is no swiping possibility either, hope HTC put this feature in coming updates.
Cheers!
Only thing that puts me off k9 is the pure white with no option for a dark look!
I have emailed the dev but yet to receive a response!

Go to Global settings --> Display and select Dark option in Theme, restart the app by existing K9 and dark theme will be applied when you open K9 again.
Whenever I get emails with images in it, like emails from ATT, Target, GAP etc, the email is showing up as if being viewed in a computer, I mean i can only see a part of it in Gmail, so I have to manually resize the email so that it fits in my phone display. This is kind of an annoyance since coming from iPhone where the email with images would get resized to fit the iphone display. Just wondering if there is any email client that work like the one on the iphone ?

I am using KAITEN for a long time, on my third device now. I was always happy with it.
Not free, but worth the money.
I have a question about k9. I have 3 email accounts on stock email app. 2 of which i have currently set to push so within seconds i have my new email. 1 of which i use to sign up for things and email certain companies ( that i don't need to get instant contact ) and this would be daft using up my mobile data on! I have found that as soon as i set up the accounts they are immediately on push. Even tho there is an update folders option set to never!?
Would someone be able to explain how i would set my third account to be manual- ie i will have to press sync to fetch new mail.
Best
Jr
press accounts and sync settings.......
There is no accounts and sync within k9
To reiterate i would like two accounts to be pushed to my device and one to be manual when i go into it and select "retrieve mail"
Is this possible with k9?

Long press the account, account settings, sync folders, set poll frequency to never and push folders to none.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thanks for the help but i managed to get one account set to manual but it wasn't the one i wanted and i couldn't get it to push without recreating. This is one confusingly laid out app with its settings.
The beauty of the stock app is you can set to push and even set an on and off peak schedule and define how the app pulls in emails in those periods. Unfortunately the schedule in ics is broken which is why i was seeking an alternative.
