How choose several mails in Gmail?

In Gmail - how can I choose several emails in one go, to either delete them all or mark them all as read? Its bit frustrating to go throught the mails one by one... Any one knows how to do it?

You press on the tick on the left hand side of the message.

You press the MENU button while in GMail, and you get the option to delete a bunch in one go. I had this problem when I first used the Desire lol.

ok...
Thanks works great when I need to delete!
I still need to do it for those I want to 'mark as read'... there is no tick on the left!
Thanks

Either you are missing the obvious or you have some sort of messed up version of Gmail there's always been a tick on the left to select Emails, right from Android 1.0

I was using a different widget that has all mails alwaus open on the scene. Switched it now to the other u referred to.. works ok. Thanks

Slightly off topic, but related to this one.
Does anyone know how to multiple select email that has sync'd from Exchange? The standard mail app doesn't seem to offer this, or I'm going blind
Thanks

I actually decided to go back to the HTC mail widget as it gives notification for incoming Google mail... but its bit irritating as you cant choose several emails as in the above mentioned GMAIL app. Hope someone could figure it out!!

This is similar I use at moment:

There's no setup for it because it's push... probably much better for the battery than checking every x amount of minutes. You just get an email pushed to the phone when you get a new one.

That sounds cool... but how can I disable that for night time? When I got the phone there was a setup somewhere (lost it now!) where you can choose peak and non peak time updates - wonder if that can be used for Gmail?
Thanks

just turn the internet off at night time.
add the widget to the home screen and switch it to off when you go to bed.
from the home screen, menu>add to home>widget>settings>mobile data

So there's no way to select multiple/all emails for delete/'mark as read' using the HTC mail app?

I'd like to know this aswell, I havnt found a way either

no, i don't think the HTC Mail application does not give you an option to select many emails at once.

its silly really lol specially in the morning when I have around 12 rubbish emails from overnight

You can select multiple emails for deletion in the exchange mail app. Just select menu>delete and you then get selection boxes next to all your messages

Facebook for HTC sense not updating

Im having an issue with Facebook sense. I noticed after restarting my phone for the first time that the Facebook friend stream was no longer updating even though it was set to update every hour and it was enabled, Looking in the setting menu confirmed this as the last updated time was not changing unless i forced a resync. Removing and re-adding the account worked for a while until I restarted the phone but as soon as I did the same issue manifested, it just wont automatically update. All other automatic updates seem to work.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so have you managed to find a resolution?
Cheers!

if you have the little power bar widget, with Bluetooth WiFi etc on, have you turned on the reloading sign?

Already checked that, every other app updates correctly just not facebook

log out then back in...it fixed my friends list not updating with new friends, probably will sort out th e friendstream (providing you've not already fixed it)
make sure its the facebook for htc rather than facebook for android tho !

How are you logging out of it?

I don't have my phone with me at the moment, but while logged into Facebook, is there no option to log out via the browser or when you press the Menu button?

I had that problem, fixed by going into settings and re-selecting the update frequency, seems to need repeating at each boot.

Does anyone know how to update contact pictures? My friends have updated their facebook prof pics but it isnt getting update to my phone.

i had to delete my facebook account then re-add it

Facebook integration seems a bit iffy on mine too. New friend facebook contacts do not show up on Contacts tab (to be linked). It seems the thing does not update without remove-re add.

Yeah I had to remove the account and re-add but then it only synced 30 contacts at first and then I had to keep resyncing 3 times to get all contacts synced.

Same here.....had to re-add my account

The first time it cut off at around 40. I rebooted the Desire, now I have the first 40 twice.

Solution
Had the same issue, just updated facebook and all better now...

not to beat a dead horse on this one, but I am having something along these issues with my FriendStream widget. The Facbook isn't updateing hourly like it should, I have tried the following to correct the problem:
Removed/Re-Added my account
Cleared all Cache Data
Cleared all Data
Reset the phone (factory Reset)
Updated Facebook
Really ata loss for what I should do from here, any ideas or suggestions would be awesome.

Facebook contact not showing

For some reason only one of my Facebook friends is not showing up in my contact list, i have, in settings, set it to show all Facebook contacts. It shows all except one. I go into my Facebook app and it shows him as a friend...i don't get it... I've cleared out my log in through accounts and then set it back up, waited for all the contacts to be linked up again, but he's still not there... really frustrating... any ideas?

Yes! This is just the issue I've experienced too. One of my contacts doesn't show up no matter what I do. I've spent a lot of time playing with this. It's quite annoying. I think this is a problem on FB's side.

Well I don't know what exactly I did to fix it, but its working now... I went into my facebook albums to check out some pics and he was on the lost so I checked my contact list and he was linked again

I think sometimes if the names don't match up perfectly it doesn't find it...I'm sure you verified this already though.

Facebook Sync/Contacts/Messaging
I am having a problem getting my contact picture to appear in messaging as well as caller ID.
I have synced my Facebook account with my contact list, joined all of the contacts, and have the Caller ID default set to the Facebook picture.
However, all of the pictures in my messaging and when someone calls me comes up as the blank default picture as if they do not have one set.
The pictures appear in the contact list fine, and are all marked as default for caller ID. How can I get their pictures to appear in my messaging and my caller ID?

Everyone here needs to say what ROM they are using. HTC Sense does things different then cm7. sense 3.0 may do thing different then 2.1 or 1.0. Also are you using the "Sync" in the facebook application or are you using the accounts sync in htc sense?
I dont think anyone here has enough information to answer your questions at this point.
One thing you may want to do is add that one contact as a contact in gmail (if that is what you sync contact with) and see if that contact gets linked with the facebook person.
Hope that helps, and good luck

PLEASE HELP

contacts not showing facebook image

hi,
i've upgraded from a DHD, after syncing with facebook and putting my details in, the contacts in my contacts app dont all show the facebook profile picture.
Some do.....unsure why, but not the majority......
Never had this issue with my desire and my desire hd
i could wipe the phone and start again, or remove facebook data and then re-add
i'm also wondering about how HTC actually saves this data also, like since its related to my gmail account, some of the images may have saved to some of my contacts that way, making me think that they have the facebook profile pic attached, when in fact its not, its google saving this image to my address book, rather than the phone receiving this from my facebook contacts (yeah i know, i'm not too good at explaining this)
Bottom line, my phone address book includes facebook contacts, many of which dont actually have any profile pics attached to their contact on my phone.
PS: I'm just gonna wipe and start again, and see what happens

it happens on mine too. was wondering~
any solution so far?

I did a hard reset, it helped a little as now more of my contacts are showing facebook profile pic, but still not all

I believe this is an ICS (Android 4.0) issue. Get Haxsync from the Market (argh, Play Store). It resolves this.
