You're coming from motoblur which is completely different. I've never used it, but I would venture to say the widget you're talking about isn't on th phone.
As far as the ringtones go. Its quite simple..... edit the contact.

[Q] Please Help Me Out

I've got myself a new HTC Desire and am loving it and the Android system. I like the HTC sense widgets, and how clean they look. However, the large SMS widget is annoying me slightly; in the preview of the conversations, it only shows the last message received by a contact, not the one I sent. Is there ANY way I can have it so it shows me the last message I sent to my contact? Thanks in advance guys!
how about trying handcent sms? it may have what you want, and it's free, get it in market, most of us are using it... i think
Handcent
I have tried it, but it isn't anywhere close to being as sharp as the HTC Sense widget, that's my biggest let down. Hahaha, so again up to the top looking for an answer!
I don't think you can show it in the stock HTC widget. Have you tried all the variations of it, not just the first one?
Yes I have tried all the variations and the settings. This boggles my brain to no end. How is it something this small is not customizable.

[bug] Calendar reminders working ok? [kinda fixed]

I set the reminder to either notifincation bar or alarm and neither one actually works.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
EDIT:
See post #6 for the fixings.
Same problem here. This is killing me as I use this function constantly. I am not getting notified on gmail calendar or exchange calendar.

Setting up calendar events actually works. I just tested it - a popup does occur in desktop calendar when I set it through the phone.
But absolutely nothing happens on the phone itself.
Is it like that for you too?
Yep, same thing here.
Does anyone know of any widget style calendar app which can force notification/alert for upcoming calendar events independently from the built-in android version (which obviously doesn't work on this phone)?
I started using the free Calendar Snooze from the market on my Evo, mainly because the Evo didn't have (or I couldn't find) a built in snooze, and it works well on the E4GT too. It's very configurable, gives a full screen notification, and will even use text to voice, if you want it to.

Thanks, I am trying it now.
Calendar Snooze works just like I want.
Perfect.
I just asked in IRC, and people said their alerts were working just fine.
I wonder if it's a common app me and gfsnic have...
Right now, I can only think of one calendar related app I have installed - Simple Calendar Widget...
Works fine for me. But the alerts I use were set up within the calendar app on the phone. Are you guys setting the alerts on the web?

(FIXED in 1.28) Bug in Calendar/Agenda Widget

This probably does not seem like a big deal but it's driving me nuts.
The HTC agenda/calendar widget causes sense to crash every time it loads.
Yes, I have tried the android one and Pure Calendar Widgets etc but they are not the same.
I was going to try digging the HTC Calendar widget out of the 1.20 Stock ROM to see if it will install. Anyone know if that's likely ?
I don;t want to be a whiner but I'm kinda mad some of the crap HTC pull. In this latest release I've lost the two widgets I used most, the news widget and the agenda widget

you are right...I am also facing the same BUG, sense is rebooting one we select the calander/agenda widget....
Regards,
Isn't that only if you have your Facebook calendar syncing before adding the widget though? Possibly because it's having to add too many events?
Agenda widget working fine here with two calendars syncing - plus you can add the FB calendar once the widget is on screen.

No. I am only showing 1 calendar in the agenda widget and it's not the facebook one. It's my exchange calendar.
The bug seems to be linked to the number of appointments you have.
Mine worked fine for the first few days and then this morning started crashing. This is because now that the easter holidays are almost over my work diary for next week is really full, hence lots of appointments etc.
If I change the widget to only show the facebook calendar or only show tasks etc it works fine.

Damn. That does not seem to be working.
I;'ve got the system image out of the rom but I can't extract it using unyaffs.
Any pointers from any of you android chef genuises ?
Maybe someone could just extract and post the agenda widget apk and I will test ?
Cheers.
I had the same problem once. I have 2 calendars synced + facebook.
I removed the widget and re-add it and it's working.
I saw an other bug : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590772
Fix Found (Sort of...)
I have found a fix for this.
If I tell the widget to "Show All Calendars" it's fine.
If i tell it to only show one, even if that's the only calendar with any events in it, it causes Sense to crash.
Guess I'll just tell it to show all calendars
Strange - show all causes mine to crash as it then includes Facebook.
If I just use my work exchange and Google calendars it works fine and I'd imagine there's more than 20 entries in those?

I am using the standard Android widget (the 2x3 one) and it annoyingly doesn't seem to update. When I add items to my calendar they do not show up and sometimes the widget shows a day behind the actual date.
There also seems to be no refresh button for this widget. Is there a way to do that and does anyone else have this problem?
Ahhhhh ! Fixed in the 1.28 OTA update. Sweet, sweet bugfix

[Q] New mails don't appear in the Lock Screen

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.

Support for more lockscreen notifications

Hi,
Currently the HTC lock screen will show notifications for the basic apps: Calendar, Mail, Messages and Phone..
it's really limiting... for instance I thought of using another SMS messaging app, but as soon as i discovered i can't see the messages on the lock screen no more... it really seem like i'm trading off one feature for another.
I really wish I could see Whatsapp noticiations, Gmail etc..
Any mod that enables more types of that? or do i have to replace the lock screen entirely? any thing that looks good as the sense one? thanks.
Would love to have WhatsApp notifications like sms notifications on my locksreen.
A mod would be great
