Lock Screen Text

I found this app:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Unfortunately it doesn't work on Sense UI:
Even if you ignore the warning and put your text in, nothing will ever show up on the lock screen.
Is there another app that does something similar and works with Sense UI?

I have Antivirus (free) installed from the Market. The programme includes a lock-screen text.

Just installed it.
I see a "Lost Message" but nowhere to put custom text on the DESIRE lock screen.
Just to clarify, do you have additional text on your DESIRE lock screen? (i.e. the leftmost picture in my signature)

First, I have to admit that I have enabled an unlock pattern (p. 195 English user manual). In Antivirus, push menu > settings > > Remote > FindeR and Remote > Lost Message: You can insert the text you wish (like your Arthur Dent details). The info is then visible on the unlock pattern screen, right between your leftmost screen and the home screen.

I too would like something like this, would be even better if could also show calendar events/appointments for the coming week

Ahhh, no wonder!
I don't use the unlock pattern so I never saw it.
I'm looking for a way to put text (my name etc) on the initial screen, when you turn on the phone (like the Contact Owner app shows).
Does anyone know of a way?

[Q] How to delete e-mail accounts when they not appear in the start->messaging list?

[Q] How to delete e-mail accounts when they not appear in the start->messaging list?
I once had two e-mail accounts on my phone, so when I went to the register card (the touch flow one) I found three little mail-buttons there one was for outlook, one for e-mail provider A and one for provider B. After some month they stopped working and did no longer appear in the start->messaging list of you accounts, so after some nother month I added them again, but now I seem to have:
1. Outlook
2. A
3. B
4. old A
I would certainly like to get rid of "old A" as it is of no use to me, better still put all my two accounts together in only "outlook" and sync them with my PC. Would that be possible? I don't even find a solution on how to delete "old A" as there seems to be no option or drop down menus where i could delete the account!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Solution to delete your "old A" should be simple. Go to messages > menu > instruments > options and you should see all your accounts there: sms/mms , outlook,A, B and old A. Press and hold on old A and you will get the option to delete it

Thanks, thats what I thought would help the only problem is that "old A" is not even there. When I use the TouchFlo to go to my e-mail tab there are four little mail symbols on the right, 3 of them lead to the right mail box if I press the down left softkey for post box. only the fourth one leads to the "messaging" window but old A is (again) not there. I know it is not really bad, but it's annoying to have 2 new messages all the time because I can neither delete or open them or the account they seem to be in.
Any ideas?

Have you tried switching off Touch Flo and starting it again or deleting all your other mail accounts, restarting and adding them again ? Maybe you should consider using a program to scan for bad registry. Have no clue why it doesn't appear in the mail accounts. Basically if you don't have that account registered, Touch Flo shouldn't display any mail messages. There's always the hard way, making a hard reset, but that implies loosing all your installed programs and stuff. Are you sure you went to this section just like in my pic ? I don't use Touch Flo anymore, i'm using SPB mobile shell.

[Q] Editing the "Me" contact card...

Whenever I look at a text message conversation it puts "Me" as blank picture: (see first picture).
But whenever I try to edit "Me" from the "People" application, the device just hangs and won't let me edit anything. Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone know where to fix it? Thanks!

From what I remember reading a while back, you will need to make sure that your sim card has your number set in to it... From what I remember reading, you can do this using an iphone or a blackberry... The cyanogenmod rom used to do this from what I recall... But can't say 100%...
Unless someone can correct me, as I only used android for a few weeks

I'd like to piggyback off this question and ask if theres a way to make one of our contacts "Me" or just overwrite it.

On Windows Mobile there was an option to copy any contact into the "Me" contact but I can't find that option, should there be one on Android!

The "Me" thing is an HTC thing, not an ANDROID thing. In Vanilla Android there is nothing like this in the People area, you just have a contact card of yourself. I can edit my "Me" information fine. If you go on Google.com and edit your contacts with your name, it seems to change it as you login to facebook and stuff and it auto associates you with yourself, ie my Facebook is Josh ______, my twitter is GlitchZero, it auto links these things to "Me" or "Josh ______" in my Google contacts.

Ah thank you for that information. I did a hard reset & made sure "Me" was not associated with any Facebook or Google account & it works perfectly, thanks!

Sense 2.x Contact pic?

I know Google doesn't sync good-res contact pictures.. blah blah blah
My thing is...
I've been using Oxygen and CyannogenMod for almost half a year and I just switched to LeeDroid HD 3.3.3 this morning... **I don't have a Facebook account** I realised that whenever I set a contact picture from the Gallery while the phone is offline.. the pictures look GREAT when making or receiving calls.. when online, Google does its sync low-res sh*t.
I just wanna use those pictures I choose from gallery as overlay, not as google cntc's pic.
Can I stop the contacts' pictures syncing? by any any any means?

Logout of FB and then again Login..This time select the option don't sync your contacts!!

The dude doesn't have a Facebook account.
How about updating the contact pictures of your Google contacts from the web itself instead of from the phone?
Honestly don't know if it will work. I haven't tried it but it's worth a shot.

Unusually high battery usage with Textplus

Hi,
I've recently been having an issue with Textplus consuming a lot of battery power on my Nexus 4 (pics attached at the end). I was on stock rooted 4.4.2 while having the issue, then installed CM11 on hells-core, hoping a reformat and reinstall during the process would fix the issue.
Is this normal for Textplus on 4.4.2? I'm definitely not using it more than other apps, but I do use it for both regular and free texts. It stays in the background, and I send texts a few times a day.
I'm also unable to mark regular texts in Textplus as read, and in my phone's settings the app can't be marked as the default SMS app. To mark texts as read I need to run hangouts.
I would like to continue using this app, but as it stands it doesn't seem worth it. Does anyone here have a similar issue with the app?

Looks like you need to get another similar app. Try sending an email to the developer and/or check their website to see if they have a support page.

Get app ops starter from the play store. In it turn off location for text plus

Thank you, I just sent them an email with the issue. Also @jd1639, I was thinking it had to do with location requests, I'll download that and let you know.
