1) seriously hate the "mail" app on the lock window. i cant find a way to remove it and even after i turn notifications off it still shows that i have new mail. i much prefer the gmail app and would rather see it there.
2) i really wish the spen would control the menu and back buttons on the bottom of the phone. when using the spen exclusively it sucks to have to go back and forth to the fingers.

Just turn off the mail app, ie remove your account from it, no more notifications anywere, just leave your gmail app.
You can use gestures with the pen. Press button and draw a ^ for menu and < for back

Menu > Settings > Lock Screen > Screen Lock > Add security and you won't have icons on the lock screen, or there's an option to choose what apps you have at the lock screen.
Sometimes that happens to me, restarting the phone fixes it.
And ya, what kharizma said... works perfectly.
perfect, i adjusted the mail icon to my gmail icon!
unfortunately if i remove the accounts from my mail icons it will take away all my google contacts (i think) so i have not tried this.

Nope gmail contacts are attatched to your google account in the system (settings > accounts) not to your email client account

I don't see what's the problem with the mail app, I really like the corporate aspect allowing for Microsoft Exchange giving better push email I believe.

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
I really don't need or use it i dont need weather facebook or twitter updates does turning it off help battery a lot does anyone know?
And is there a way to still access the market is don't like enabling it to use it bc i forget to turn it back off and there's no toggle widgets for it.. thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Idk about a lot of bg data but it will save some at least. What do you mean about the market? Could you explain more?
Swyped from my sexy EVO.
The market requires background data to varify services etc... for the apps you mentioned just disable auto-sync. Also keep display brightness low, wifi and Bluetooth off when not in use, check all app settings to ensure they aren't running automatically or frequently updating and also turn vibrate/haptic feedback off if possible.
Yahoo mail doesn't like me when I disable background data -_- how do I take care of that?

Yahoo! Mail and the Market do require background data. Market I understand. Yahoo! Mail, not so much.
In any case, you can use the built-in E-mail app to get to Yahoo! (not Gmail, sometimes labeled "Corporate Email", it's the little envelope with the gold stamp coming out)
Check this thread from earlier today for the settings:

Background does save a lot battery but I use the market and some other apps a lot , so I just leave it on, one thing that can save you a battery is using WiFi , like if you at home and you have WiFi use WiFi instead it will help , and the mail app (blue envelope for HTC sense ) let you set up yahoo, is not push but you can set up how often you want it check and it does appear read when you check online

This didn't work when I first got my phone but it works now? How did you do this magic trick!?
Swyped from my sexy EVO.
Try k9 from market. It is a heck of a email program and free. I removed gmail and yahoo email along with mail.apk. If handles all my general email in a tight package. And to disable background update will save battery life since 3G does not Ned to ba abler.
Yes it does save lots of your battery! Just turn off ALL internet access. Your phone will go for days and days without needing a charge.
(Home menu with free space for an additional icon) Menu Button -> + Add to Home -> Widget -> Settings -> Mobile Network.
When you are not using the phone anything other than phone calls, turn off the Mobile network. All background updates like weather, e-mail, etc will stop until you turn them back on.
(Home menu with free space for an additional icon) Menu Button -> + Add to Home -> Widget -> Settings -> Sync All
This is great to manually turn on the Internet and have the phone sync up all the services then turn off the mobile network.
Maybe it's just my vanity but is there a way to add a picture to the 'Me' icon in the stock messaging app on CM7?
I've tried adding myself within my contacts (which uses my Google account photo) but nothing seems to sync up.
I can live without it but I'm just curious to see if there's a way to set it up :-D
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
weird...i did the exact same thing and now i can see my icon. maybe you need to delete the icon on your gmail account and then sync?
Success!
I had to go into Settings > Call Settings > Additional Settings > My Phone Number
Once your number is added into here it does the rest (I'm not sure if you still need to put yourself within the contacts).
I can now breath a sigh of relief and bask in my own narcissism...
Haha glad you figured it out

I've been wondering if there is any way to remove these contacts. I would delete them and they would come back to haunt me each time.
Is this related to T-Mobile contacts sync? Do you have it disabled in the system settings?
Even if you uncheck sync they just come back. You have to hit menu in contacts and filter them out
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
hmmm did you filter yours out by unchecking the "show phone contacts"? i feel like that's the only way to get rid of it, but that means i would have to use google contacts or something right?
Yea. I uncheck everything but google. But those tmobile ones are on the sim so if you uncheck sim they will be gone.

Keep getting a notification that says mobile life contacts check status. I click on it and it doesnt do anything. I clear it... Comes back again within like 4-5 hours. How do i get this to go away?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Don't know how to get rid of it, but just wanted you to know you weren't the only one that has it.
Also, you can't remove the mobile life contacts from the Accounts settings page either. I tried and it said it is required for some applications to work.
Strange. I guess when we start getting ics based off of the update we will be able to move it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I just got the same notification. Not sure how to get rid of it completely. Maybe titanium backup?
Possible Solution
I can't post a link yet since I am new but if you google "check status mobilelife contacts on htc" I found the support.tmoble one has a solution. I am about to try the google account one because I don't want to do a reset for something simple like this. Hope this helps everyone
I froze it using titanium backup.

Did the same, here.
Fix:
1.) Settings > Applications > All tab
2.) Find Mobile Life Contacts
3.) Force Stop and Clear Data
Reboot phone to ensure it doesn't pop back up.
Cancel that, starts again on reboot.
I thought i was finally helpful.

Got that as well. Backed it up and uninstalled using Titanium.
It won't mess up anything if you freeze it. Use Titanium Pro to freeze, and you will never see it again.
There's definitely tons of garbage to freeze with the official tmo release that's for sure.. TI pwnage
This worked for me
Resolution steps
To fix the MobileLife contacts not syncing, follow these steps:
If you wish to continue using MobileLife contact backup you must perform a master reset of your device. To perform a master reset of the device, follow the steps below:
From home screen press Menu.
Tap Settings.
Tap Storage.
Tap Factory data reset.
After the factory reset is complete, re-sync MobileLife back to your device through accounts and sync.
For an alternate work around and to back up contacts via a Google account, complete the following steps:
From home screen tap Applications.
Tap Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Export to SD card.
Tap MobileLife Contacts.
Tap OK on confirm export.
You will now be returned to Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Import from SD card.
Tap Google Account.
Tap OK to continue.
Your contacts are now synced with your Google account. Please navigate to Accounts and sync and verify that automatic synchronization is setup.

Not to be rude, but this just doesnt make any sense. On previous custom ROMs that were debloated, all I had to do was restore that apk using titanium and I was good to go.
This not withstanding, I recently flashed Darkside ICS, and I attempted to restore the APK, but now my contacts will not sync. Are there other processes that are required in order for the Tmo contacts to sync? If so, what are they? I personally like having my contacts synced to MobileLife...
Just to help out. What you are looking for is the "Back Up" and then is will have the version numbers. Freeze it for now. Then Delete it later to make sure you don't mess something up.
This should have the Icon of a rotated white book with T-Mobile color arrows on top and bottom of the icon.
freeze it. I did and it took away the account inside the "Accounts and Sync" area of settings.
Now only my Gmail account is there.
You will need the Pro version of Titanium, but it is worth every penny and more.
I know this is an old thread but I ran across it and wanted to put exactly what needed to be done.
Thanks
