gtalk for PC's has this option where your current music track is displayed as status message. is there a way to have this on our streak (or any android phone for that matter)? i know it doesn't serve any useful purpose apart from being a conversation starter!

1. Email: Every time email polls it deletes all messages. It drives me nuts, because I want to keep most recent emails on my phone as reference (which is what I did with my iPhone, and before that with my WM).
This happens both with the stock email and with K-9.
2. Notifications: I get a call and a notification pops up on the top bar - I pull the shade down and clear it. But then, there is also a counter on the bottom phone icon, which does not clear until I go into the call log. Any way to clear these at once (since it's the same notification)?
Also, is there a way to get a text message notification to work like the iPhone: to wake up the screen for a few seconds upon arrival, so I can see what is says and who it's from, without turning on the phone?
I hear you, Macguy!
Driving me nuts too! I'm used to WinMo phone where I can have my emails on my phone and in my PC.
Why can't anyone make such an email app for Android??? I don't want to live in the Google cloud!!!
I am putting this idea out there in case anyone would be willing to develop the app. Originally I got the idea from the XBMC Remote. It has the following features:
On incoming call, display who's calling on TV screen and pause video until call is over
On incoming message, display on TV screen
This shows that it is perfectly possible to output the information. Now if we could only get similar functionality to the pc. Having your call information or texts displayed as either notification popups and/or within an app that lists all calls and txts.
We could even take it a step further by including the functionality found in google voice and other pc sms apps to give the ability to respond to txts, or answer and initiate calls to the phone.
All in all, on the user end they could be able to control all this by the use of:
Popup notifications
Small task bar with shortcuts to each option, a count of unread messages, and current phone status (ie in call etc).
A full fledged application to control all of the above, as well as view a full contact list, message history, call history, and anything else we can get the phone to output.
HI Guys,
I am trying to make a list of all the bugs/problems introduced in Galaxy S i9000 after an update to Froyo
Music Player:
1. When you minimize the music player while playing a song and open it via clicking the button on the notification bar, there is no way you can get the Playlist/Artists/Albums list. you have to open the player again from the shortcut.
Phone:
1. Often when you are using speakerphone during a call and end the call the speakerphone icons stays in the notification bar and if you call again, the speaker button remains enabled until you disable it manually.
2. Phone log now shows messages as well and there is no option to show only phone calls, you can select between missed/received/dialled but not all calls only.
Contacts:
1. Some alphabets are missing from the alphabet list, this is not a problem in itself but if you touch the list to scroll through the alphabets you cannot reach the contact names which start with the hidden letters. You have to manually scroll up or down the list.
2. Contacts are not being linked automatically from facebook with phone contacts
Phone vibrates as if force closing an app but no app is closed.
Gps icon remains on even after switching it off.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If a song is paused for about 5mins the music player will automatically be killed, thereby losing the position of where the song was, and it's place in a shuffled playlist. Really quite frustrating.
For the call history, select Contacts and then History.
Press menu, and you can select which calls you want to view.
Sadly, the phone does not remember the selection, and it only works in the history that is shown in Contacts.
Hi guys, hope you can help!
Basically the embarrassing situation has occurred a few times now when I'm showing my friends some features of the DHD a personal text comes in which was meant for my eyes only, however the first two lines of it are displayed in the notification bar when it arrives.
Surely there's a way to stop this from happening!?
Cheers!

If you're using HTC stock messaging app then there is no way to stop it. A solution would be to use messaging apps from the market like Handcent SMS and the likes. It will give you the ability to pop the notification but does not show the content.
I've just had a friend ask me this as well. Wanting just a notification sound and icon rather than disclosing the sender or the message body on the lock screen or in the notification bar.
I've got a DHD and don't mind if people see what i'm receiving, even to the degree that i've installed an app called ChompSMS which brings up a window on the homescreen displaying the full message.
I had a fiddle with the ChompSMS settings and it seems that you can increase the privacy settings to make it anonymise the notification, however as soon as you unlock the phone it will still show the full text in a window - I only fiddled a little bit, but couldn't find a way of disabling this without losing other features.
I uninstalled ChompSMS (for the purposes of this experiment) and had a look round at the generic (HTC) messaging settings and it seems like it's all or nothing, as soon as you turn off the 'received notification' option it greys out the options below it, meaning that you get no notification whatsoever when someone messages you (except for the green circle on the messaging widget - if you have this on your homepage).
I'm going to try installing Handcent (another popular messaging app) to see if I can make it do exactly what my friend wants done. I'll message back if I manage it.
Mike.
Hello folks,
I am having an issue that I just can't figure out.
Using the standard apps, when I get texts, no notification sounds are made but I get all text notification as just the cards.
I tried both Wear Messenger and Messages for Android (also called Wear Messages). Here is where my issue comes into play. All text notification makes the sound I set, all except for one. One single contact when using either Wear Messenger or Messages for Android just does not show up. It doesn't even show a card for that text. I have tried everything I can think of, reset the watch, deleted the contact and readded it. I am at a lose at this point on what could be causing this one contact text to not notify me via the watch. When the contact calls that works fine and I can answer a call from them. BTW, the watch is a Fossil Q Founder runner the current Android Wear version.
Normally just for one contact I would just say screw it....but it's my girlfriend. So I would like to have the notification show up on the watch when she texts me. Any ideas?
