Can either of these simple things be achieved with the Desire?
1) unlock without having to use last button - ie wake up the phone from just a screen tap?
2) have an option to go straight to an event from the lock screen, be that a new sms / email / missed call or whatever other notification I might receive? I don't want to have to press power to unlock, then slide and then navigate through to messages or emails etc.
Oh and while I think about it, can I adjust the sensitivity of the track pad?
All of these things would make it a much better experience!
1) to unlock you have to use a button on top of the phone, no option in the software to unlock with just a screen touch, maybe a third party app would make this possible but not sure.
2)Again this is not something that is included in the default lock screen, you can control the music player from the lock screen but that is about all. A third party option may make what you want possible, not sure if such a solution exists though.
I haven't found any option to adjust the track pad sensitivity but I got used to it fairly quickly and it works just as well as a trackball in my opinion.

Nope.

Nope. Only things that I can see operable from here is Snooze/Dismiss Alarm and the Music Player. May be more I haven't stumbled across

Again, Not as far as I can See

Bloody 10 Characters...
Oh, and Beaten too by liamw.
on the lock screen, if you've got notifications, you unlock it and then slide down the taskbar and it gives you the notifications that you just click on to open them...or is that not it??
Thanks for replies, seems a shame these simple thinga cannot be achieved in Android.
Sure you can do that eddyos but to my way of thinking that's still too many steps to read a message!
Does anyone else keep hitting the damn full stop instead of space when typing?! Any solutions?
And while I am on a roll sms counter anyone? How do we know when we have reached 160 characters in our txts?
You can do it on the HD2 as the lock slider can be expanded to select the SMS you want to read for example...that was in Sense so perhaps someone will write an app for it once the Desire is rooted...doesn't bother me, tbh

When you get towards the end of a text it says above the send button x/160.
Try expanding the notification tray and THEN locking it. when you unlock the tray will be expanded just one click to get to a message, one click to get back home (home button).
i use handcent and you can rply messages from teh lock screen so that might be what your looking for
Omg the above reply just made me realise I've missed the obvious.
Download SMS Popup. It should do what you want.

That would be ideal! Flick up for going straight to the relevant app or down (as normal) for home screen.

So it does (the 160 characters that is) - not sure how I missed that!
Expanding the notification tray has no effect for me. As soon as the Desire is unlocked it's already rolled back up to the top.

Hmmm, not quite what I am after as I do not want to totally replace the in buily application. Running handcent alongside it still means I get notifications in the native app, which I don't want. Thanks for the suggestion though, I may persevere with it!

Bingo! That's pretty much exactly what I am after - even wakes up the phone so no need for the power to unlock each time an sms comes in - thanks
One problem though - is this a bug? When selecting close at the popup window, if 'mark as read' is selected it should do just that, right? Well it's not doing. Any new sms remains in the message app as a new unread sms even after I have selected to close it with the option to mark as read ticked. So I am having to get rid of it twice.
Can anyone confirm this?
The mark as read thing is a bug, used to get it on my G1 although only when replying to SMS (IE I'd reply, the window would close but it would still be in the tray).
You can just clear the tray when you get the time or, search for a similar app.
Ok, worth mailing the dev or have you already done that?

Nope never bothered so yeah it might be worth doing that.
Yep this is the bug i mentioned in another thread! quite annoying
VERY annoying. I will email the dev .. can't hurt I suppose. Just need something like this for email as well now
That would be awesome.. surprised no ones made it!

not true just go into the native apps and turn notifications off in the inbuilt app problem solved in less than a minute

Yep, I did that but although there was no sound alert, the native messaging app still shows a new message in there when I don't want it to.
bizzare I don't get any notifications from the native app Any more after disabling all notifications in it
does anybody know how to change the text color for the "power off",and so on?. ive managed to changed almost every menu/system text to black ,and i just cant seem to find the values for the power menu
This would be a good place to start-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125196
And questions and help go in Q&A, this is neither a theme, app, or mod.... Not yet at least.

Thank you for the link! There's enough info in that post to keep me busy for the next little while! Thanks again
I am debating getting this phone but I just want to see what do the lock screen notifications look like. Like what do missed text messages and what not look like on this device on the lockscreen. If someone can post a screen shot of that on here that would be great!

Here is how they look. One of the first things I swore I would do when I got the phone was play with the android L style notifications but the G3 works so well I have decided to leave it as is .

You find out how to make it show a message preview for sms notification

the notifications look good but only work for missed calls/texts. Any ideas on how to get Android L heads up to work? The xposed module crashes the ui.
Do text notifications only show like that if you are using stock message?
I use chomp and you just get the icon in the notification bar

Does anyone know how to change the incoming call screen? Im tired of the puke green theme and I can't seem to find a way to change it. I found ways to change the dial pad, the contacts list and log screen, but that puke green is driving me nuts. If It can't be change can someone recommend a free incoming call change screen that works?
Thanks a bunch!

google phone app? you mean hangouts? i dont want to use hangouts.
I think he meant this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer
But it says it's not compatible with our phone; useable for nexus and Google play edition phones . Well, that's what it says for me anyway...

Does anybody still need link?
So its new phone day (well its day 3) and i have problems i hope you have solutions. So the old phone (also running pie) ment i could change my text tone (tone1) facebook notifications (tone 2).
So i now have tone one as the default tone but it now is every tone on the phone, so easy go in the app and change it. Except messages does not have a sound option for notification.
Not to worry i think i can just change facebooks sound ....nope that don't have a sound for notification section ... ah i think i can turn facebook sound off .... i only need to see the notification in the shade ... nope facebook doesn't have that either ... any advice?
Thanks in advance

Only took 4 days and thinking i was going mad
