I have strange "pop up" type messages in my status bar (with star icon)? Where are they coming from ? I purposely clicked message and it took me to picture #3. I want to figure this out since one of my family member have same issue on his Nexus S. See attachments.
It's called push notification. You have installed an app with that service. They are evil. Goto the market and install addons detector. Choose push service and it will tell you what apps have push service active. Then uninstall that crap and send the dev a email telling him to suck it.
Thanks. Those things started after installing one skin.. maybe coincidence but I will check it
Edit: Found it. Thanks !!!
No prob. Thats what community is all about. Make sure to send an email to the dev. Push service suks.
I had the same issue with an ICS skin for go launcher had a hell of a time tracking it down too.

Is there any way to get the GMail app to always show pictures, without having to press the "Show pictures" button? It annoys the hell out of me - I ALWAYS want to see the pictures!!!
Anyone got an answer for me?
Yet another bump since I still don't have an answer.
I'm now running Pays Sense Froyo rom.

anyone got any ideas?
I want this also....please.
no you cant, its there to protect you not just from malicious code but also from illegal images ......
An honest question - how does making me press a button protect me from malicious code?
And illegal images, well I've never received an email with illegal images in it, and I think I'm prepared to take that risk since I'm an adult!
I just want my pictures shown straight away!
If the same account was able to have pics shown by default on the iPhone surely some has a fix or script or workaround for this bad idea on a Droid?
Thanks Kevin
"Show Pictures" button issue - WTF?
I am using Android 2.2 on a Droid X and I M NOT able to see my HTML emails automatically? I have to hit a "Show Pictures" button EVERYTIME?? This is the dumbest thing I have heard.
I can turn this option on in my GMail account, so we can't I turn it on in the GMail app on my Android phone?
Security? That is a lame-ass excuse, like I said, I can turn it on in my web based GMail account and GMail automatically filters 99% of all SPAM messages automatically AND IF there is SPAM in my email box, it's usually something I know not to click on it (on the phone) and when I do log into my webmail I report it as SPAM. WTF?
I solved this problem by using the K-9 mail application.
It is in the market and you can download the latest version off the developers google dev web site.
It has the setting to always show pictures.
Good luck to all.
Kevin
This has been solved now.
This post from this thread provides a GMail update that is flashable through ROM Manager or recovery.
Works a treat!
Thank you so much. I also think it pretty freaking stupid and not insecure. Scripts should always be be disabled but I dont see how allowing/placing/resizing picture is dangerous at all. There are empty spaces, that when you click them it goes to a link. It was a picture with a link attached, but now its clueless link. Its more dangerous to allow contextual boxes then pics. Downloading anything illegal without criminal intent is not prosecutable. My 2 cents anywho.
Thanks..I have updated Gmail app..The problem is now resolved.
I have gone into the contacts and set my sim contacts as inactive, yet when I open the contact list when creating a new SMS, all my SIM contacts are there... this is really really annoying. I can not for the life of me figure out how to disable this.
I've had a G1 for the past 1.5 years, rooted and running custom roms, so I know this has to be a snake in the grass waiting to bite me. Can anyone lend a hand?
Sorry if this is a bit hard to follow, long day
And yes, I have searched.. again, I know this is probably right in front of my face.
same problem here hopefully gets fixed in and update
same crap here another two annoyances from the stock sms app is no led and if text are sent in the same minute they get outta order
I cant stand how you can sync your facebook with only the contacts that are in your address book. But then when you go to text someone is shows everyone from facebook as a option to message. I just want it to show the people in my addess book. is there any way to do this. Have it sync just your contacts with facebook and not have everyone and their mother show up in the who to message list?
go into contacts and press the option menu,then view. disable the t-mobile one contacts too. because t-mobile keeps all ur contacts too...
i had a similar problem, hope this help tho...

it still ends up coming up when you search for the name in the sms app or other apps thats just to clear it from the phone app
This phone handles syncing strange. I cant wait till its rooted so i can put a Cyanogen rom on it. Even when i delete all the tomobile contacts. It finds a way of bringing them back.

This, 1000000000 times this. If I turn off veiwing facebook for mytouch contacts in the address book it still shows 100000 people form facebook in the sms part when i go to send a new message.
Yes... the syncing on this phone is indeed weird and annoying.. it was cool at first seeing everything pool in and popup without entering any info.. then it went awire , so I hit the killswitch on the whole operation. I know this isn't an answer to the problem, but maybe u can do without syncing until the froyo update comes next week (wishful thinking) ? Or do a hard reset and resync everything over slowly
No way I could find to not see all your contacts as is described in post #1. Dowload a full-featured sms app.

Handcent or Chomp. I prefer the former but have not used the latter much. For all new Android users reading this...please use androidtapp.com for reviewing apps. If they have reviewed the app, it is very thorough, including screen shots and an overall rating. This also gives you an idea of what the app can do, especially in comparison to a stock app so you don't have to frumpenuzzle with it yourself.
Just a word on handcent. I can not stand the way it looks. Its a blatent iphone look-a-like

Ill check it out, after I installed it on my G1, I opened it up and RAGED cause it looked like the iphone and immediately uninstalled it.
Ok, so a friend asked me to text them with another friends number. Sure, I said, no problem.
I started a new message (using Polymod 2.1D) filled in the number of my friend who asked, and then started to compose the actual message.
But, for love nor money, could I find any option to insert a number from my contact list!
I exited the message and went to the contact list. I found the "Share" option, but that simply made an email with a .vcf attachment!
Is there anyway to be able to insert a contact into a text (sms) message?
The default messaging program isn't that great.
I personally like ChompSMS which does what you want but have a look though the market and see which one is best for you.
And which is Best you think?

Whats up with the new gmail app on the market? After checking the version number I have an olderversion. Why isnt my current version asking me to update? I probably wouldnt have even noticed but I went to my downloads and it showed up as a free app as if I didnt have it. So thats when I started investigating.
Anyway its got me all confused lol. Should I just uninstall my current google app and then just go download that app? I cant see how it would hurt, but Ill wait to see what you smart guys say.
I noticed the same thing today, current version of gmail on my phone is 2.2.1, and the one in the market is 2.3(also did not show up in market as an update, just install). I updated just fine and everything works good. I think the market won't show an app as updatable, unless you install it from the market and since gmail came with the phone, and not from the market the market will just show the option to install.
I don't remember seeing gmail being in the market in the past, this must be another step towards googles much talked about push for making core google apps a part of the market instead of being shipped on the phone. Makes more sense that way anyways.
I remember reading something that mobile gmail would be getting the new priority inbox like the regular gmail site has. Maybe this is the reason for the update

the quoted text is handled much better now. I can actually click on a link now that a get from a subscribed thread on xda. I used to have to go back to the first mail in the conversation.
also, i noticed a green bar that drops down after you delete a msg that also lets you undo. it's a pretty sweet update actually.
The gmail update was for some small bug fixes and to add multiple gmail account sync
So do I just installit over the old or uninstall and then install the new one freshly?

Just install the new one over top. Really easy.
The new Gmail app has the buttons at the top scroll down with you, making it easier to star, reply, reply to all, etc. It has some other bug fixes, and there is limited Priority Inbox support, in the form of a new "Important" label, that takes you to your important messages.
Here's a link to the blog post: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/09/updated-gmail-app-in-android-market.html
This update came out yesterday, and is the first time Gmail has been updated in the market. This will be how updates will work from now on, just like the Maps app before it.
I apologize in advance for posting a question that has probably most likely been answered. I watched the video, I don't hate myself and I don't mean to annoy you. So, can a HTC incredible guru please tell me: 1) why I have two email apps that are one account? There is a blue mail icon and a red gmail icon that are both connected to my gmail account. I get double notifications all the time. 2) How do i disable the htc email? This app is in general less convenient and I don't see the need for having two. Please help! Thank you much!
If you want to remove the app use titanium backup if your rooted. Or you can go to your settings ---->accounts/sync and stop the sync on the mail app.

Not familiar with the blue app. What happens when you try to uninstall it?
Is there not a "settings" menu in the blue app that will allow you to delete its tie to your Gmail account?
If all else fails, you can at least go to Menu>Manage Apps (or Menu>System Settings>Applications), pick the blue mail app, and turn off "Show Notifications"....

ok. I have to figure out how to use the titanium backup and being rooted. I'm sure it's on the forum somewhere.
I had checked under Settings before I asked this question, and there is no blue email icon there. Just the red Gmail and I didn't want to stop that sync. Also, I moved the blue icon to the "trash" but I still get notifications that I have mail. Then, somehow my facebook won't sync. it's "currently experiencing problems and will return shortly." It's said that since the 26th. Ugh! Maybe I should call their help desk.

IT WORKED! Thanks!! I went to the settings option in the blue app. I don't know why that didn't register for me before. I was able to delete it and keep my Gmail account.
** Could you help me figure out why my facebook won't update but my Twitter will - under "Friend Stream"?
Glad I could help with the email issue.
Unfortunately, this old dinosaur can't provide guidance on your social media troubles. I'm still a primarily-email kinda guy...you young whippersnappers with your Facespaces and Mybooks and Tweeters just confuse me, consarn it! And get off my lawn!!
