Email mark as read / multi selection missing ? - Desire General

Well.. I'm in a very lucky position to have a HTC desire AND a Galaxy S.. one must go! At the moment my desire is on eBay but as each second passes I'm thinking I've made the wrong decision.
There are a few things I like on the samsung that if I were to keep my desire would want.. I've managed to add the patch so I can now press to trackpad to wake the desire (like the samsung) this was one major thing that bothered me coming from an iphone is you have to press the power button at the top.. anyway that's sorted now.
The other thing (main reason for this post) Is...
On my mail app on the samsung you can select multipul emails by tapping a tick box at the side, I can then select 'set as read' or something like that in the menu. On my desire I need to go into each email which is a pain.
SO.. the question is can I make the desire work something similar to the galaxy? I've noticed the default android has this tick box.. and so does the Desire HD?? so is it just my phone thats messed up? I've rooted it so I can load whatever into it.
Just found a pic.. the tick boxes are missing on mine!!!

Let's hope HTC will update mail app to the Desire HD version on the 2.3 update.

[Q] HTC battery widget for EVO

Is there an HTC battery widget for the EVO like the one found on the HTC Hero? I tried the one from my Hero, it installed and works but is not properly calibrated for the EVO. Any suggestions or alternates would be appreciated.

Yes there is. Look in my ROM thread. There's a file with HTC widgets you can grab; it's in there.
download fresh's latest rom and extract it from there and push it to your phone. if that doesnt work nandroid, flash fresh's rom, titanium the battery widget, nandroid back, and then restore the widget. or just stick with fresh's rom.
with the new update doesnt seem to install. any help. or is it just me
won't install for me either, I pulled the apk from ava's rom and I also tried the download in Steel's thread, all files won't install.
The hero version worked fine, it does stick out for being smaller.

Is this a new One X problem/issue?

Today my phone, for no known reason is trying to download this "tmm.jpg,ttm.jpg" I cannot not stop the process as yet, this is what I have tried...
1. Long and short pressing the icon (nothing happens)
2. Toggling on and off wifi and network data
3. Restart
4. Turn on and off
5. Stopping all running apps
6. 3 & 4 again
Yet it is still trying to download, I have no idea what tmm.jpg,tmm.jgp is, but, I assume some kind of picture file, maybe something to do with android or the 3 branding on my phone?
I am on 3 network UK and yesterday I upgraded to 1.28.771.9 the latest 3 branded software.
Not only is this problem annoying, but it is killing my battery. Please can someone help I don't want to factory restore if I don't have to.
Here is a screen shot...

Weird, it has finally stopped downloading on its own, after about 2 hours?!! Not sure what it was, but should this happens to anyone else just wait, it takes a long time whatever it is.

I've had that prob a few times in the past and found that going into settings > apps > all > download manager > clear data + cache gets rid of the gremlins
Thanks I'm sure you're post will help others. Fortunatly for me this issue hasn't returned, touch wood.

Yeh useless most malware isn't detected, its only removed when Google pull it don't waste space/power or time in them.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Nothing to do with 3, look's like you went on a website with some sort of virus. If that download has completed, I'd be extremely weary. I recommend Kaspersky or maybe even AVG like mentioned above.
Hi all,
Just installed avast anti virus from the market, it says my phone is virus free so that's a relief.

Shapewriter for Galaxy S3

I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S3. I loaded on my favorite keyboard, Shapewriter, and was disappointed to see that it didn't fill the screen like it did on my other phones. Is there anyway to make it take up the whole bottom of the screen like all the other keyboards? Thanks for any help.

send a note to the developer... they might not be aware and just need to edit it for the larger screen...

It's no longer supported. I have a backup of the APK that I use to install it with. It's not even on the Play anymore as far as I know.

That's clearly not supported on 720p screen, never heard of the keyboard but if you find people that likes it a developer might be able to help

If I recall, Shapewriter was bought by Nuance and incorporated into the FlexT9 keyboard and now those features are incorporated into the latest Swype beta...
So maybe try that?
You can always lower your dpi
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I downloaded the Swype Beta. It's going to take some getting used to, but overall I think it's better than the default Samsung keyboard.
I prefer shape writer over all the rest I've tested. The automatic addition of a space after a period (.),saves hitting the space bar more often than deleting the space. The ability to retroactively capitalizewith one key does not require retype. The selection of typed words with one touch,allows the original selection list to be recalled.
I can't believe they did this all two years ago. Nuance now owns shapewriter.

Calendar not displaying event colors

I have a nexus 7 and Xperia arc running jj hybrid Rom. They both sync my calendar events fine but the phone displays all events as blue while the nexus has the custom colours. I have tried the latest version on the market, anyone know the issue here?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I tried everything today , despite the screenshot showing colours (on another device) , different colours seems too hard to achieve on the piece of crap Arc I have as well
I really need to upgrade my phone, using the nexus really makes the arc seem laughably slow.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Right , I worked out how to get the different colours - the new update allows the use of multiple calendar , you add them on Google Calendar on the web and then you use the option on your phone of which to sync with - they all have different colours . I first thought multiple calendars was a bad idea , but if you dedicate one to work and one to family , one to concerts etc etc etc , they will all display on the master calendar as different colours and focus on just family stuff for example - changed my mind , its very good .
Just for reference , Im a grown man and believe asking for thanks is a kids game . If the above helps anyone - please just shout a random number at the person nearest you to freak them out and make them ask why haha . Seriously - don`t hit it (no reverse logic included) .
This is Glass Calendar showing the different colours events , its the same in the Calendar app columns .

[Q] Does the Note II's double panel view work with any given app?

Hi!
The title says it all, I'm interested if the Note II can handle any app in double panel view.
I use computer almost never, and having a smartphone which could view any 2 apps at a time would be so good and would be a great next phone I'll buy.
Thanks for your answers already!
Not stock. Only a handful of apps will work in multi view.
But there is a mod in dev section that allows any app to run in multiview

Only certain stock apps are available in the Multi window by default. If you need to add your own apps, there are a few methods, or you can flash a ROM that already have this feature built-in
So far, the easiest is this one, you just need to find the item name of the apps you wish to add, and use the webtool to generate a zip file to flash into your Note II (You need to be rooted)
Here's how mine looks like once I added apps that I want :

Do remember to do the necessary backups before proceeding further.
Hope this helps!
Ok, thanks for your replies. At this time I wasn't able to find the mod kylec mentioned about, and the manual method looks pretty creepy, but I'll look into it later, when I actually have the device with me. It was a big relievement to know that there is at least some way to double-panel all apps. It's sad how Samsung doesn't give us the device's full potential by standard.
Remind that even u flash unlimited multi window mod , it wont be easy to use, many apps will be stretched strangly.
