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

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
I am using the SMS unread count widget and i like this app a lot. but i would prefer to launch either GO sms or handcent sms whenever i launch the app, instead of launching the stock SMS.
I've tried to clear default from stock SMS but there is still no option for me to select the program which i like to set as default.
any idea on this??
use go launcher ex and this get go launcher ex notifier, just seems like a very easy way to do what u want the way u say u would like it and it seems the 2 would compliment one another as well.

i want to know as well... i tried to clear the default app but strange thing is for stock Messaging "default" is greyed. so i can't even clear it..but i would like to open GoSms through sms unread count :s
Anyone? Use SMS Count to open Go SMS so we can get an SMS counter on Widgetlocker screen, but use Go SMS as primary SMS.
Bump
Having the exact same problem... Also tried Missed it, but the same thing happens...
Seems this widget has other issues if you read the reviews. I have handcent and it has its own widget that does basically the same thing I believe. Just shows the icon with a number of unread messages? I am betting Go SMS has its own widget too but wouldn't know as I don't use it.
True, I use Go SMS, and its widget, but I'd prefer SMS Unread Count for its ability to pick any icon... The Go SMS widget has a choice of three integrated icons which I'm not really fond of...
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.
So is this possible for stock jb rom? I don't too care for the sms preview but I would like to have call and sms count (maybe even Gmail count) if those icons are on the lock screen.

Not on the Stock Lockscreen.
If you get WidgetLocker from the market you can add "Missed It" widgets or use built in Unread Counts to display badges on the unlock ring.
SMS Popup will sort of show a preview of SMS on Lockscreen.
Let me know what you think....
Good morning. So I've been jumping from sms app to app for some time and can't quite fill all my needs. Looking for suggestions.
Need to have custom ringtones per contact
Need to display animated emoticons (wife loves to send these... For good or bad) plus she's got an IPhone... Needs to be compatible.
Needs to not hide the keyboard when adding attachments (textra has this weird bug that doesn't allow me to see the additions page when clicking the add button)
Would like it to be somewhat customizeable.... But that's not a requirement.
Must have a way to not have adds. Via upgrade or Pro version.
So far I've tried Go (no animations)
Textra (keyboard problem)
Ninja (no animation)
Hello (no animation)
Hangouts (the sms is just funky) I haven't seen it be very individually customizable for contacts yet... But the current leader)
I've tried Handcent sliding and their new one as well... Mostly all lack the animated emoticons
Anyone have a suggestion?
And yes... Must be sms,
Thanks!

Try EvolveSMS. I think it does most of what you are looking for!
