How to change "note to self" email address? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have several google accounts added to my GNex. I like using the "note to self" voice action that will send me an email reminder. However, it is currently sending to the wrong account. Anyone know how to control which account is used? I don't see a way to control the "Google Now" account like you can with other apps.
thanks,

You could always set up a label that forwards those emails to the desired address.

Bottom of Google Now, the action bar -> Settings -> Privacy & Accounts -> Ta da!

Didn't know I could do this. Tried it and Google search force closed. Nice.

Well, thanks for that tip. Funny enough, changing that setting did not do what I thought it would. Notes are still going to the wrong account. I wonder how it is controlled?

So - what do you think "default" means? For the "note to self" feature, it is certainly using the first account I ever put on the phone. Almost everything else uses a different account. Perhaps it is the one I am signed into Google Play with? Hmm...

not sure about on your current ROM. In the CM series, the contacts are linked automagically with Facebook profiles. You could try in your ROM as well.
To get the picture to sync, open your Contacts app, select a contact, Menu > Edit, and scroll down to the bottom, see if there is a Facebook account linked. If so, tap the picture and select "Use this picture". Save the changes and Exit.
This will only work, of course, after you add a Facebook account (Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Facebook), which only works if Facebook app is installed.
The method above will also sync the pictures anytime they change (ie, if your friend changes their profile pic, the change will sync to your phone).

Are you rooted? Do you ever use the Locations app for anything else?

Try the following:
In the app drawer
Go to "Car"
Go to settings.(Press the small buttons below the weather, clock etc)
Go to default navigation app and change it to what you want there.
I'm also having trouble with this. When ever I click on a contact address it opens up HTC Locations, and there are no defaults sets for Locations app to clear.

Thanks, that solved the problem. :good:
However there is tiny issue with it; when opening google maps with "Select other map" option, that dreadful 3 dot menu option appears on the bottom, and it stays there (even inside Google navigation if I load it from maps) till i switch out of the app and switch back in again. A minor inconvenience, but far better than always going to edit contact > Copy address > load Google maps > Paste and search for the address.

[Q] How to rename email accounts

Good afternoon everyone,
I just ugraded my Samsung Wave I to Bada 2.0 and like I said in the topic title I would like to rename some email accounts I added. In fact I used the "Other account" setting to add it and now all my accounts are named "My new account". I looked in the settings but I did not find out where can I solve my problem.
If you've got any ideas I will be happy to read it.
Thanks everyone.
I'm sorry of it's a noob's question but I really didn't find the answer.

I already try that but it changes nothing, unfortunately.
Nobody knows ?
It is very simple.
Just do this :
Settings => Email => Email account => tap on "your email account" => tap on the setting button in the top left hand corner => change the settings of the account
That's it
All this is true what is written here, but you can only change the settings of the email account, not the name (account)!

Go to Settings> Accessibility and see if you have any features enabled. Sounds like you have a TTS service active.

Yes, TTS is enabled, but there is no option to off it. There is only one option and this is the text to speach engine.

[Q] Always display images in default mail app?

I really like the HTC email app, but it drives me nuts that I have to click "Display images" each and every time I open a damn email.
I was not able to find any options anywhere to disable this idiotic thing.
Is there a mod or something that does this?
Please don't tell me to try another app, I know I can do that, it is just that I like this one the most. Also I know that not displaying a image is a security feature, but I don't really care about it.
Thanks in advance!

no?
Yes there is a way ..I found the "show images" check box in the stock email app. With the email open, menu >settings and click on the actual account settings (not general) and the "show images" option is in there.. (might have to click "more settings" as well)
