do you use any security software that scans the apps you download? maybe you have some adware on your phone.
What programs have you installed recently? I got sense 3.0 media from the market, it was a widget that looked like HTC sense widgets that allowed you to put media shortcuts on, kindacool.
The problem was I got spam texts with html links in my notification bar. Research showed the sense "app" was just a front for adware, sending you notifications that looked strange but led to web sites IF you pressed on them. By pressing on them it directed you to a landing page asking you to verify your google account information and offering a paid monthly subsription through your account.
I deleted the app and haven't had the annoying pop ups since.
Too bad, I actually like the widget itself.............maybe I'll make one that isn't crapware!!!!!!

Hey,
i recently switched from an HTC Hero to an iPhone and now "back" to a Desire.
It's great of course but there is one thing I'm missing:
On my here i had got (with Froydvillain) status bar notifications for facebook. Whenever someone made a comment or whatever i got a status bar notification. is this possible on the desire, too?
Thanks
With the current Facebook app 1.5.1 I think, push notifications do exist, but they don't work and need to be fixed. Notifications do happen sometimes but it is useless app.
I've been looking for push notifications for facebook for ages and so far the nearest and best thing I've found is a free app from the market, called Flow.
The free app checks for new notifications every half hour and contains ads (but ad blocking can take care if that) , however the paid version can check much more frequently and also comes with homescreen Widgets.
I'd definitely recommend giving the free version a try

P.S - it also does pretty much everything the official app does, apart from chat, and does it just as well.

actually, my htc hero had (with the official facebook app) push notification?
So why this feature doesnt work on the desire?
This might be the answer (just found it on XDA-Portal)...
i'm going to try it

Doesnt work for my... says: some error occured
Really, try Flow.
The standard Facebook app only notifies of inbox messages, event invites and friend requests but flow notifies of comments, wall posts, likes etc as well - pretty much any notification really

I have a desire and it always sends me notifications about everything that happens, all status comments, friend requests, etc. If you go into the app where it show different icons to go to news feed, profile, etc. press menu then settings, set refresh interval to 30 mins (this may chew your battery but you will get updates) tick the notifications box and all the rest of the boxes.
You should receive notifications to your notifications bar now
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.

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.
From all the reading I have done, it appears that the unread count not showing on the gmail app is a known issue? When I get text messages, I see a "1" overlay on my messages icon. But not for Gmail. I did see an app in the play store that is "supposed" to fix this. Or would I be better served by flashing a custom rom. It seems pretty absurd to me that an OS made by google doesnt have overlays for Gmail.

I think that's a TouchWiz feature. And thats why it only works with the messages and built-in email app, etc.
I use Nova Prime, I think the pay version of most launchers includes that. But, I never found a free launcher that did it.
Sent from my HOCKS
Nova might do it, if you install the tesla unread plugin, but I'm not sure. Picked up Prime when they had the $.25 sale and have loved it
Tried out nova prime with tesla unread plugin and it works decent. Without some app I don't know of a way to get the unread number on not stock apps.

When I have new emails in my Gmail account, there's a little icon in the notification bar. Ans when I swipe it down, it even shows me the titles of the emails. I know this doesn't solve ur problem, but it works for me.

I have the same thing. The notification bar just seems very crowded to me and I end up overlooking the notification. More of a personal problem than anything but would be a nice feature to have standard.

Just upgraded to a new sprint gs3. Went to add facebook to accounts and checked the play store first, it says facebook is installed. Cool, but I'm not sure if that came from Sprint or from the automatic app download that happens when you add an existing account. Any way, all is cool, except the fact that facebook doesn't show up in the list of apps so I can put a shortcut on a home screen.
Has anyone else seen this? Am I missing something? In the store, there's an option to uninstall, so I guess I could uninstall/reinstall, but I'd kind of like to understand what's going on before doing that.
Any ideas?
Problem solved. I was expecting the apps to be in alphabetical order in the app drawer and they aren't (facebook was on the last page). Sorry for the silly question.
When in the app drawer hit the menu button / view type then select alphabetical order

thanks - I remembered that about a half second after I realized the drawer wasn't in alphabetical order. Appreciate you going to the trouble to post the screen shot though!
