...or waiting for your phone to "learn" to not like it. I'm being really detailed and simple here in the event someone finds the forum via Google (like I did).
Go to your Blink Feed page (usually by swiping from your home page)
Click the three lines in the top left corner (next to "Highlights")
Click the three dots in the page that follows (Next to "Search for Content")
Click "settings"
Scroll down to "Notification on Lockscreen"
Uncheck the box next to "Meal time bundle"

I just had a chat with HTC. Press and hold on the Yelp tiles, then select remove. Blinkfeed supposedly will learn that you do not want yelp. :good:

HTC RSS reader

Hi
I've added 2 subscriptions to the rss reader but I can only get one feed to show in the widget. is there anyway to change this? id love the two showing on the widget

I have not succeeded in doing so and, therefore, now use BlueRSS without a widget.
Yep, I couldn't get more than one to show in the widget at a time either. A very strange oversight I think. I even went through the hassle of exporting my google reader feeds and importing into the news widget.
Anyway, installed netashare (free) which syncs with google reader and is rather tasty indeed (no widget mind).

This isn't good news, no pun intended, because I love rss feeds. Incidentally, when you double/ single tap to open the actual widget, does it show the second subscription at all? There must be a way of showing threaded rss feeds for each subscription, otherwise what is the point. I'll check all the youtube review videos and see if I can find anything. Either way let us now if you figured it out cause I'm getting this phone myself next month.
its simple, press and hold the screen so its highlighted and drag it down to the bottom to delete the widget.
then press the plus key at the bottom right and select widget.
then select "news"
then press the "select" button (making sure you choose widget style 1 of 2)
then select "All stories" which is just below the "Add feeds" button
hope that helps
haha thanks mate I worked that out last night!

Open the News application (not the widget) and long-click on the feed you want to remove and hit delete.

MissedIt (at least in the latest version 1.4.0) works with all email clients which support notification, e.g K9.
Every app that uses notifications can be displayed (now).

I use the widget "SMS Unread Count", the thing for calls, mails and sms. works perfectly, but also miss the notification for gtalk...
when dragging the widget to homescreen, you'll have the possibility to change the icon, to give them a title... decide which "notification" size to choose–there are two options, small and large. zero's could also be displayed by choice.
a app called "missed it!" is what you looking for

Not that it only kills your battery but it severely speeds up the degradation on the screen even if its just black. A lit screen will degrade faster than a totally off screen.
Thanks brendo.
I assume this could be done for Facebook and Twitter???
yeah, anything with a notification (a number that dispays on the icon). ive seen it done with facebook, wish i could do it with ebay

[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!

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)

You can't with the default Messaging app.
Your only options are:-
1. Go to Settings/Accessibility and switch on 'Message / call voice notifications.
or
2. Install a different Text app and make it default.
Textra offers individual notifications both with sounds and individual coloured icons in the notification bar.

It does use specific tone for individual contacts...... I know because I am using it in this way myself.
What you must do is after launching Textra PRESS & HOLD on one of your contacts and you will notice a 'Tick' has appeared over all the contacts with the one you selected highlighted.
Next, go to the top right and tap on the three dots and select Notifications. Now you can alter to your hearts content for that individual.

My Zopper companion app (ZW Utilities) supports enable/disable toggles for Wifi, Data, Bluetooth and Flashlight, if that's what you are looking for. If you just want to open the Settings page for Wifi, you should be able to do that by opening the OnTap action dialog, swipe two times to the right to the "Shortcuts" page, scroll down until you see the "Settings shortcut" option. Tap that and you can select the settings sub page you want to open with a tap on the Zooper module.
Hope this helps you out and happy theming
what i wanted to do is just a simple task, like when i tap on that particular object it opens the WIFI settings, im sorry but i really cant find "Settings shortcut" im using galaxy s5

You COULD use Tasker to get the job done. You can literally hard code it to toggle on/off Wifi. Then, when you're done configuring Tasker, hop over to your Zooper widget and just point it to the Tasker profile you just made. Should allow you to toggle when you click on whatever object you place in Zooper. You can also do the same for data toggles, images, etc.
EDIT: I actually forgot that they integrated this. Configure your rectangle then click Module OnTap, scroll two screens over to the right, click "Settings Shortcut" and then chose Wi-Fi. Then back out to your widget, let it update and then click on the rectangle. It SHOULD take you to your Wi-Fi settings page. Hope this helps. :0)

Looks like we may have a solution: http://www.jagwar.de/en/zooper-wifi-toggle/
hi thanks for your research i really do appreciate that however base on my understanding it just creates a toggle where it enable / disable the wifi, what i was trying to do is open a wifi settings.. im not sure if i can do that with tasker.. im really terrible at programming
i will do my own research too, again i appreciate your time
thanks a lot
Oh, I see. Let me continue poking around and see what I can come up with. Unfortunately for you, I don't think it can be done on your phone, seeing as you're missing a vital element to make it work...

yeah its such a shame that a new flagship that is supposed to be more powerful doesnt have this feature.. oh well i hope i can find a work around.
thanks a lot
To use Tasker:
Create a new task;
Enter a name for the task then click the check mark;
From the task edit page click the + at the bottom;
From the select action category list click settings;
Scroll to the bottom of the list then click WIFI settings;
You don't need to make any changes in the action edit page so go back to the task edit page;
Since your going to use the task as a shortcut you need to assign it an icon so click the icon on the bottom right corner (it looks like an app drawer icon);
Select an icon (it doesn't really matter which icon because for your purposes the icon will not display);
Then use the back button to completely back out of Tasker (this will automatically save the task).
From there just setup up your widget to launch a shortcut the task you just created.

Hey there, although your request can be managed by Tasker, I feel like you want a quicker/easier alternative. Coding can wait another day.
Download this app from the play store link then enter the OnTap property of your chosen Zooper widget module > Swipe once to the right > Select Wifi Settings from the apps list.
And you're done. Just tap on the module after a minute to let it refresh and you're set.
The free app is under 18kb so hardly resource intensive and more than makes up for the surprising lack of Settings shortcuts on your S5. (Seriously, my Note 2 has these basic shortcuts as does most stock/custom roms. I wonder why it didn't make it to the S5).
I have been equally frustrated by a similar situation. I want a widget that automatically takes me to the battery status.
I had built one before but was being thwarted by the lack of access to this setting. I thought I was crazy in not finding the settings be available. I dont really need a toggle for the wifi, but is there a suggestion for the battery settings?
i suppose I will play around with Tasker to see if I can figure something out, now that I know I am not crazy.
i may have found a quicker solution via a third party...
- install 'anycut' from the play store (icon ooks like a mushroom house)
- when setting up the 'on tap' part, point to 'any cut' under 'shortcuts' and let your mind be blown by the myriad of shortcuts provided, including the elusive wi-fi settings
enjoy
