Hi,
is there an easy way on Android 4.3 (or with an application), to have a 2-3 lines preview of mail received and mark it as read from the lockscreen ?
I receive many emails during the day and it is too fastidious to have to unlock the phone, go to the mail application and mark mail as read.
I have tried NiLS and Dashlock but it doesn't do this.
Thank you
You're looking for an application that supports this. I don't know any, but some allow you to mark the email as read from the notification, you could just drag down the notification bar. If you can't do that (lockscreen security), there's an Xposed module that allows you to see the notification panel even when the phone is locked.
Also, FN (there may be other similar apps) can show you notification bubbles on the lockscreen, and allows you to choose quick actions.

Thank you for your answer.
Which application can let me mark an email as read from the notification bar please ? (that should be a great solution if, by swaping, I can mark mail as read.
Thanks

CloudMagic is the most recent one I've used that does (no swapping, you just press a "Mark Read" button in the notification).

Oh you don't know an app that modifies the notification center without having to use a third party mail application ?
I really dont like to use a third party mail app as many time, it acts like a proxy and can have a copy of your inbox or your password.
Thank you

No, the application would have to support it itself, nothing to do with the "notification center".

Hello,
Q1) There are only 3 alarms available in Windows Mobile 6.5. Does anyone knows how to add more?
Q2) Also, I remember when i was using HTC Touch, when new SMS comes in, it appears on the screen and i was able to either 'hide' or 'open' the SMS. On HD2, when I set it to show new SMS, I can only hide it but I can't open it to read. Instead, I have to go through 'HTC Messages'. Does anyone knows how to have both options 'hide' (on the left) and 'open' (on the right) available when new SMS shows up?
Please see attached screenshots if I did not manage to explain well.
Appreciate all kind advice.
Many thanks in advance!
I've tries to add more entries in the registry to add more alarms, but apparently it doesn't work.
and I've no clue for the sms issue either.
does anyone have the same issues as me? any clues?
thanks.

i guess
indeed, I've read about all e good comments about it. in fact, I installed it 2 months ago, but I encountered problems like battery drains n missed alarms. I've since uninstalled. maybe this problem is not too common with other users, but it was a problem for me..
thanks for your suggestion though.
pTravel alarm?
Works well for me and no battery drain... also if you are on the lock screen you can tap the open widget then swipe the sms widget and it opens sms screen or if you tap on the task bar it will give you the list of things to look at and one of them is the messages screen...
For the SMS, why not just turn off on-screen notification. When you get an SMS you'll get the usual audio/vibrate alert, and an icon in the taskbar. You can then just click on the SMS tab icon at the bottom and you're looking at the SMS. 1 click and you're there.
For the alarm question... there's a registry setting for this, but I don't know what it is. If you use BsB Tweaks you can enable "Windows Notifications" mode which "Enables dismiss X time in notification". This is a crap description and I used to just ignore this option as it sounded completely uninteresting. Then I found out what it is.
With this enabled, you get the option to select a sleep time for an alarm when it's going off (see the attachment). I doubt my boss would be impressed if I chose the last option though
It will at least free up your second alarm as you could just snooze the first one for 10 minutes.
I am also interested in the being able to open an sms from the notification dialog...
On Q1: I've been using SPB Time since quite long time. The new edition 2.1.2 is really awesome. And it answers to your question
On Q2: When I receive sms I have sound + icon above on the taskbar. So if I click on the icon - "notification" window opens and after another click on new sms icon you see your sms. Just you pay one click more.

It would be nice if on the notification "balloon" you had a Reply button that would automatically open the thread where that sms is in...

indeed, i remember this option to open sms on notification used to be available in older wm versions. and we could also dismiss instead of hide the sms.

gosh, i have been using bsb since day one (4mths ago) n have never paid attention to this tweak. i will give it a try, thank you!
Hello,
I've got a weird problem I'm trying to solve with bettercut. I think it should be relatively easy, but I'm stumped and was wondering if somebody could help me out.
I use an HTC Legend and I like SenseUI too much to change to another launcher. I use an App called SMS Popup to notify me of new messages, but this app - combined with SenseUI - creates a bug with the default Messages shortcut.
Basically, when I mark a message as Read with the SMS Popup, the default Messages shortcut keeps the notification badge telling me I have unread messages. Which is annoying, because to fix this I have to go into the messaging app, scroll to the message I've already read in order to convince SenseUI I've read it.
So basically, what I'm trying to do with BetterCut is launch the SMS app without the system treating it as a Shortcut that needs a notification badge. I read all of my SMSs immediately mostly so I never need it to tell me how many I need to read.
So far, I have the intent as:
android.intent.action.RUN
and the data as:
com.android.MMS
However, when I select this shortcut, it says the app isn't installed.
So could somebody help me either:
1. Make a shortcut with BetterCut to the default Messaging app which won't show notification badges
or
2. Turn off notification badges entirely, because I don't use them for email either and they kinda piss me off.
Thanks!
PS. I've searched forums and google extensively for this, so I wouldn't be asking if I hadn't already tried
Cheers
EDIT: Ah, this was supposed to go in Android General. Sorry.
you can also opt for an other sms program at all
for ex http://www.appbrain.com/app/handcent-sms/com.handcent.nextsms
this is an sms manager with an popup function in one
Hi guys,
i want to know if anyone has the same problem that i have. I'm using my N1 with my corporate email with Zimbra 6.0. When I mark a message read, the notification bar still present unreal message and I need to pull down the bar and clear the notification to stop trackball blink.
With 3rd party apps this doesn't happen.. RoadSync and TouchDown, when I mark message read on my PC, clear automatically the notification from the bar (and the trackball stop blink!).
Anyone has the same problem? Maybe the AS integration of Zimbra is a bit different from Microsoft Native AS and case this little problem.
Thank you!

I've been pointing out this issue on a couple boards for months. Good luck with a stock solution.
Is there any watches over here that supports actionnable notifications? With tasker or any other app? Tha k you for any solution/answer/propositions.
Any watch that takes notifications can receive them from Tasker it's just a case of adding it to the software's list of notification apps.

No, you can't add functionality in that way. Somebody posted this link http://www.abidibo.net/blog/2015/04/01/how-get-best-your-u8-smartwatch/ a while ago about using special phone numbers to trigger actions on your phone, probably as close as you'll get.
Hey folks
I am new to android/galaxy s7 edge...coming over from an iPhone. I had a newbie question...when I get a GMail notification, the phone vibrates and I get an unread email icon in the notification bar. I can pull it down to see the actual notification.
However, the new email does not show up as a popup notification (like an SMS for example) so that I can delete, mark as read it right away without the need to pull down the notification shade. Is that something I can enable?
I hope I am explaining this correctly. Thanks for your help!
No ideas?

Download Floatify from the Play Store. Once installed go through the initial setup. Once finished with that, click the "Heads Up" button>select the first option "Which">select the first option "App Settings"
From there I unchecked all apps and only selected what I wanted. In your case, select Gmail and any other apps you want. The reason I specified an app as opposed to selecting all, is because some apps already do this and I don't want two pop ups for one notification.
Good luck.
