Hello all,
this is my first post here in Z1C section, just bought it a few days ago. I have an issue with calendar notifications or at least I think it shouldn't function like this. Before I was using HTC Desire Z with various custom roms (Cyanogen, Slim ROM, etc) and didn't face that issue
The problem is that if I have some events planned, after the timing of the event passes, notification disappears or maybe only last one is visible (earlier one becomes replaced by current)
While using Desire Z I could always see in notification bar information with all current and earlier calendar notifications (even if it was from for example 2 days earlier) and I could browse through them until I dismissed / edited / deleted (or whatever) any of them.
(one notification with current reminder, underneath a message that there are for example 5 more reminders)
Is this normal behaviour, do you also this issue? Is there any fix to have that functionality on Z1C or do you have any idea what could cause this? I'm using latest 14.3.A.0.757 compilation from Sony, phone is rooted.
I would like to stay (at least for now) with original firmware. If you use custom rom and do not face this issue that would be a major point for me to consider switching I guess
Thanks in advance for any input on this!
ps. I have also tried a few other apps including Google Calendar, Cal: Any.do, problem occurs with every one of them.
Expired events ARE visible, more than last one, they only are in dimmed grey text color.
Would be good to be able to modify those colors, but I can live with it as is.
It isn't a direct solution, but maybe you'll find this app useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2969613
Thank you for your input on the matter. I switched to Business Calendar few months ago, multiple notifications work flawless there. Also this is the best calendar app that I've found so far and I highly recommend it.
Which exactly?
There are more than one on Google Play.

I'm running Fresh 3.1.0.2 on my EVO, and I'd like to know if there a way to show more than one appointment on a single day, or for that matter two appointments on sequential days on the calendar that appears as a result of the Scenes - Work configuration. I understand real estate is limited, but I would expect some indicator of multiple appointments. My screen only shows the first of two appointments. Am I missing something. Thanks
If you're talking about the default calendar widget from Android, then no. You can however go get a different widget from the Market. Might I recommend "Agenda Widget"?
Is no longer detecting my current location.....it won't update (other cities are working fine). The banner int he Clock/Weather widget is empty and says "My Location" but nothing there.
any clues??
I've had similar over the last couple of months, also it showing 'United Kingdom' and weather info, rather than a specific place.
I did wonder (pure speculation alert!!) if they've been having problems with getting locations right - I've definitely had weather for somewhere of the same name as where I was, but with completely different weather conditions.
Not an actual example, but along the lines of showing 'Newcastle' and giving you the weather for Newcastle-Upon-Tyne or Newcastle-Under-Lyme but not knowing which one it should be (In the case of the Northern Newcastle it does display Newcastle-Upon-Tyne - which to me reinforces the idea that it does know and differentiate some similarly-named places.
have a problem with mine for a few weeks now it just gets stuck at my house's location.. when i get to uni it still thinks im at home :S and i cant get it to change.. it was working before..
i have the same problem. the "fix" in my case was to remove the weather widget and add it again.
I gave up after it stopped working for me months ago. Not using the HTC weather widget anymore but yr.no instead.
In program click on weather icon then Menu and select Rearrange
Drag ur current location on top position
To remove and put it back as new solved this in my case too..
Btw, Yr.no is the most reliable app (personal think as well), after a hard-reset, wanted to install it again from the market, but it was no longer available there(?) Does anybody know what has happened to it?

I talked to HTC hand the currentlocation is the nerest city not the palce your in like the function on HD2 Weather Widget. (cant understand why it shows the place if you add/remove it, but it will cahange back after a while to city again)

So change app to snowstorm istead!

Newcastle upon Tyne is a good example, I work in Newcastle so I have My Location and "Newcastle-Upon-Tyne" (it shouldn't be hyphenated and upon shouldn't be capitlised!) and there are always a few degrees difference between the temperatures, it's very strange.
Mine did this a few months ago but sorted itself out after a while. It shows my current location as the town I am in and never has a problem updating when I move around

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

Edit:
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
One thing I dearly wish for is for my notification windowshade to show me individual emails and text messages. I don't receive massive amounts of email/sms, maybe 50 a day in total. But if I don't immediately check my email or sms before another one comes in then all the windowshade does is tell me I have 2 new sms or 3 new emails. YOU DON'T SAY!! I knew that as soon as I turned the screen on cos of the icons on the notification bar.
Is there a way to have the OS separate out all the messages individually, so I can read the first few lines (just the way I can if I just have one message)?
Ideally I would also like a way to delete (not just dismiss) emails directly from the windowshade, without having to go into the GMail app. And no, I don't want to use a widget.
Any suggestions?
I'm still running Gingerbread, btw. I gave up on testing ICS roms a couple weeks ago (will probably just wait until there's a fully functional CM9 ready).
I don't think this is possible without modifying the specific Google apps, and even then it is something Google specifically wants to avoid... see here, ICS Design http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html
scroll down to "Stack your notifications"
If your app creates a notification while another of the same type is still pending, avoid creating an altogether new notification object. Instead, stack the notification.

Well that's a real bummer
So theoretically a dev could implement notifications that don't stack. I wonder if someone would be interested in modding the GMail app in this way?
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.
