gmail glitch or am i dumb? - Nexus One Themes and Apps

When I get a gmail notification, I pull down the bar and click it. After I read the email I press 'home'. The problem is that the notification is still there. If I click on it again it'll take me to the email again and when i press home it will disappear that time. Or when originally pressing the notification I can read the email and press 'back' to get back to my inbox and then the notification will disappear. Or I can just drag the bar and press clear.
Is this how of works for everybody? I'm almost positive that with my g1 and mytouch i would drag the notification and press on it and it'd disappear. The notification would appear, i would press it, and it would politely disappear The current way is kind of a hassle since i'm so used to it being simpler and smoother on my 2 other android phones.
Maybe there is a setting that i missed?
Thanks for any information

Must be a glitch, it happens to me too. It also happens in Google Voice. After you read the message you can press back then home to clear the notification for now.

Same here (Ten Char)

same here. I got used to always hitting the back button to erase the notification before i hit the home button.

It's a bug in 2.1. The notification goes away after about a minute. I submitted an issue in the bug tracker earlier today about this.

Cool thanks for the update

Maybe is the way you do it. After reading the mail if you press Home, the program doesn't realize you've read it. But if you press Back, instead, the notification goes out immediately. This behaviour is the same for the G1 and the MyTouch as well.

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!
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320448
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?

Text message problem using Keyboard, kicks me out of Texting!

1. Scroll using touchflo to Messaging
2. select a message and choose MENU > REPLY from touch 3d screen.
3. Slide out keyboard and start typing
4. PROBLEM: it kicks me out of the text message and opens up into 'telus quick find' and continues typing what I started to type. (It boots me out of the text messaging application).
Anyone know why this is?
It shows my blinking cursor in the text messaging field.... just before it boots me out of the texting application.
Mine does this sometimes too, haven't found a cause and/or solution.
Another problem is that if I close the keyboard as soon as I press the send button, sometimes TF3D crashes.
I don't worry too much though, they only happen occasionally.

I have a similiar problem and I need to click the blinking cursor in the text field to "lock" it there. It went away after a hard-reset. Still do not understand why...
i think i can help
i had a similar problem today, my problem was it switched to landscape, in 1 second opens my dialpad then i have to close that and continue typing.
what solved my problem was installing a file called "RemoveSkcerts.cab" or something similar, sorry but i dont have it with me on my touch pro, hope this helps u out
When you hit reply, do you wait fully until the whole messaging screen pops up or do you do press reply, and immediately open up keyboard?
I used to have this problem until I realized that you should let the whole messaging screen come up.
keyboard closes
when I reply to e-mail or even SMS, when I hit the space bar (both in physical keyboard & SIP), the application CLOSES ! ! this just started happening.

Exact issue i have
Yep, mine's been doing the same for a couple of days now... Stock T-Mobile ROM UK... Only had it a month, so haven't researched enough to change anything much.
I hit reply for the text, slide out the keyboard. I start typing and about 3 words into the reply it closes the SMS window and goes back to the main screen. It's fairly annoying as bugs go.
I hope this helps you work it out.

Hi!
Post number 5 is correct.
When you hit reply, do you wait fully until the whole messaging screen pops up or do you do press reply, and immediately open up keyboard and start typing? This the cause.
I used to have this problem until I realized that you should let the whole messaging screen come up.
So let the messaging screen come up completely.
Hope this help.

tried this....i still have the same issue......tp inadvertently kicks out to either home screen, or in most cases the phone dialpad screen !!!!
i tried soft reset and then reply, then things are fine......mebbe this happns because the dialpad application does not really close properly???? although i don't really see it running in the background or anythin......the dialpad cannot run in the background......but this dos'nt explain why occasionally it kicks out to the home screen???

[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!

quick settings gone

Hi everyone! I have a Sprint HTC One A9. The quick settings (swiping down on the screen with two fingers or swiping down twice from the status bar) all of a sudden disappeared. I can still see the notifications panel when I swipe down, but just can't see or edit the quick settings. The button in the top right (which I believe originally let you edit the quick settings) does not do anything when I press it. I have no idea how/why this happened, and there does not seem to be another way to get to a quick settings editing option/menu. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
We have never been able to edit the quick settings on our A9. That top right button simply just toggles the quick setting on and off (does the same thing as swiping up and down).

Newcron, thanks for your response! Here's the thing: the top right button, when I press it, it does nothing -- there's no reaction or toggling of the quick settings. It doesn't look like some of the pictures I've seen (it looks like a gear over the three lines, whereas I think others just see three lines?). When I press it, and try to swipe down to see the quick settings, it doesn't work. I've tried everything -- my quick settings just up and disappeared! It's been driving me crazy because I have to go into the settings to turn wifi, bluetooth, location, etc. on/off each time. If anyone has any ideas what I might have done or what to do, please do let me know. Thanks very much!

And I just realized that I have lost all notifications too -- no notifications show up in the notifications panel/drawer (even when I'm receiving notifications). It just says "no notifications." Ack, I have no idea what I did. Should I just reset the phone?

Well that is a little weird. The icon is correct, though. If I swipe once, it shows all my notifications, with the icon picture is a gear over the three lines. If I tap on that icon, it's the exact same thing as if I swipe down, the quick setting now shows up, and the icon changed to just three lines. If I tap on the three lines icon, then quick setting goes back up (and out of view), showing me my notifications again.
I'm not sure what happened to your phone, but that's pretty strange!

My A9 is now doing the same thing. Did you ever find a fix?
