Ability to display popup toast by a keypress? - General Questions and Answers

Hi there,
Is there an application that re-displays popup toasts I've received? I mean, when I receive a message and/or have a scheduler alarm, etc... I have to manually tap the tiny notification icon right there at the top of screen... actually it's not a big deal, but it's still annoying. One example, when I receive a text message, I'd like to press something like... a camera button instead of putting my effort to tap a that tiny message icon on the taskbar(is this a taskbar, or a notification area? Whatever...) and just press left softkey to reply. Isn't this beautiful?
So is it possible to... 'simulate' the tap by a keypress? I've googled for this and no luck so far.
I have WM6.1.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to disable email notifications?

I'm speaking of the envelope notification and the bubble that appears on the bottom. It's terribly annoying to have to hit the 'notification' left soft key each time I get an email. Thx.
try your sounds and notications. ->notifications
and on new email uncheck display message on screen?
Under the 'new email message', the only box that's checked is the one for the sound, which is what I want. I don't need the on-screen alert.
So, there's no way to turn that off?

Text Message alert soft buttons

Sorry if this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. When I get a new text message, the soft button on the left comes up as "reply" (the right is menu) is there a way to change this to "view" as sometimes I don't want to reply to a text, but do want to view the whole message.
Also, is there a way to add a shortcut (or change one of the soft buttons on the today screen) to start a new text message?
Thanks
intresting question got the same problem
I would like this too!

You basically should create a new shortcut as a program that has the command to invoke a new SMS. You can then use something like Schap's Advanced Config Tool to assign that shortcut to one of the soft keys. You can also assign it to one of the hardware buttons if you want.
You should also try searching. If you type "new sms shortcut" you will get many links to the solution.
Thanks, but that doesn't solve the main problem, in that when I get a new sms, the notification window comes up, and the left soft button is "reply" and the right is "menu" (which does not have a view option) so to view the message, I have to get rid of the notification, go into messaging, and then open the message. What I'd like to be able to do is when the new sms notification comes up, I'd like the left soft button to be "view" so I can just hit that and go straight to the message.
If the entire message is visible in the notification window it doesn't give you an option to "View", that's when you get "Reply". If you get a really long text message that doesn't completely show in the notification window, the "Reply" button will be a "View" button that will take you into Messaging to view the entire message. I'm not sure how to always have it be the "View" button.
gringolian, if you find something to change the reply to view, then let me know!

'Notification' dialog in home screen

when an email or sms comes in, i little envelope shows up on the top of the screen and the bottom left hand of the screen changes from calendar to 'Notification'.
is it possible to not have that happen. i use spb phone suite and the home screen already shows this info via a number of unread messages. i do not need a 'Notification' message to show up also.
thanks

Geez, I kinda want mine back. I used a tweaking program to set it to something else, and now I can't find out how to set it back to get the Notification display behavior....
Any clues, aside from reflashing

I actually want mine back too without having to set it all the time. But in your case, go to start>settings>Sounds & Not on the bottom select Notifications, then select the event you want to change, you case "New Email" and check off Display.
that does not work. maybe its the ROM. maybe a soft reset is required....
Here it is...
After much searching, I believe this is the answer...

Hi MBAlbright -- Thanks for the ptr. However, what I really want is the ability when I have a notification up, to automatically rebind the left softkey on the homescreen to "NOTIFICATIONS", so that pressing it will make it seem like I pressed the little notification icon.
Any idea on that one? This is how the older ROMs used to operate.
Thanks!
the home screen of [touchflo3d] overrides left and right default softkey actions. thats why we cant have now on left softkey notification button
so how would you rebind the left and right soft touch keys to other functions?

WM6.5 Lock Screen Slider

Hallo Developers
I have a question about the lock-screen of WM6.5:
I've seen, that there are different sliders on the lock-screen if I have a new message or mail to access the message directly on unlocking. I already had this sliders, but now I don't get them anymore. Do you have an idea about the reason or how to fix that?
Thank you all for your help.
When you have text messages or voice mail, you just have to press the main button, then the secondary button will appear below.
Yea they only appear if you have new messages or missed calls. These extra sliders allow for a quick and easy method of going directly to that app.
They don't appear any other time (no notifications).
To get the extra sliders to drop down, just click on the main slider. Tapping on the main slider will show/hide the extra sliders.
thanks for the hint, it works

[Q] Stock Android Email client - force to show Archive button?

Does anybody know how we could force the stock android email client to show as much buttons (but especially the "Archive" button) on the top bar next to the "Trash" and the "Read" button?
It has more than enough space there, so no need to hide actions behind the 3dot menu.
It briefly shows up when opening a new email from the notification area, together with the create email big round button on the lower right, but it will disappear after a few milliseconds to hide in the 3dot menu. I tried to play around with DPI settings, but no luck.
Why is the app behaving in this apparently stupid way?
Thanks for any input on this!
