Gmail Unread Widget PROBLEM!

whenever i click on the Gmail Unread Widget that i create, it goes to the first email, and then i have to back out to get to the inbox.
i would really like it to just go to my inbox when i click on the widget.
i have tried to contact the developer to no avail, any ideas?\
if not, any other widgets with similar functionality that work?

[Q] Missed Call Widget ID

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8941261&postcount=996
Looking for the missed call/new message widget.
Cheers.

"Last Call Widget." Free in the market.

Is the new message notification for voice mails or text messages or both?

To be honest I really don't know.
And the "Last Call" widget isn't really what I'm after.

well....if you look under the picture there is a link
"MISSED CALL WIDGET

"

Try "SMS Unread Count" from the market. It gives you widgets for missed Calls, SMS an GMail.

Wow. I feel like a proper idiot.
Thanks all the same. Also, I did wind up just going with SMS Unread Count the other day, but thanks to you as well for the suggestion.
Wound up looking pretty nice, I think. Would post a picture, but no outside links yet.

missed it app/minimalistic text question

any way to incorporate minimalistic text with sms unread or to make the app missed it to open applications
I like missed it a lot however i don't like how it's not able to be clicked. like i have minimalistic text set up on my homescreen to read messages and when i click on it, it goes to messages obviously
but anyway to add it so unread bubble is over minimalistic text or a way to make missed it clickable. i see they have a setting for applications but don't know how to use that
i've created photoshop icons that say messages, however for the unread count widget, it's the one size and that's too small for me so looking for any way to do this if at all possible

Not to my knowledge. Ofcourse I've only been playing with them for about a week each. Hopefully someone else can chime in and help ya. Took me forever to get the Minimalistic widget set up, lol.

yeah there's so much that app can do, and missed it app is very similar just wish it could open an application like minimalistic can do
and sms unread does open the app, just doesn't look nearly as good as the other two apps
hmm, there's got to be a way but yeah, i'm hooked to minimalistic text

I know this is already and old-ish thread, but if you're still looking to do this: I think LauncherPro allows you to stack widgets.. So you might be able to put an empty MinimalisticText widget (no background and link to the application) over the MissedIt! widget.
I haven't really tried LauncherPro though, only read about it.. So I may be wrong, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that it can stack widgets. I can't find the exact link now, but I think it was something posted in the Post your Screenshots thread.
Edit: Uh.. I just bought Missed It! from the Market, and there's an option in the settings to launch the application associated with any notification being shown (version 1.5.3), so it looks like you don't need to use MinimalisticText to create links. But anyway, guess that option is still there anyway.

You can get SMS unread (and about a million other things) in MTW using Tasker

Tasker looks cool, but in my local currency it costs R47.49 (ZAR) compared to MissedIt at R7.03. Pretty big price difference for simply displaying an unread notification count on your launcher home screen...

My Gmail is`nt working with Missed It, I have the account added or what not but when e-mails come in, it does`nt show on Missed It, any ideas?

[Q] Hangouts Notification icons for SMS

Is anyone else annoyed/confused by the notifications presented by Hangouts?
Notification icons shown in the status bar from a text message or an actual Hangout message look the same, and you can only tell its a text message by sliding the down the status bar. Maybe a silly a reason to complain, but it would have been a lot more convenient if a different icon was implemented for a text message vs. a hangouts message.
Any known workaround to this? Or will we have to wait until Google decides to look into it.

I hear you - you can set diff notification sounds for each though. Or use Lightflow to distinguish colors between a hangouts chat and SMS/MMS

This is exactly what i do.

The idea was that you use the same app to message people. You just open hangouts and message, and the phone will send the message whatever way works best (Hangouts if it can, sms otherwise.)
I'm a fan of it personally but I could see why a lot of people wouldn't like it.

You can try looking into alternatives for an SMS app. I use Textra and it is so much better than using the hangouts for SMS. I like to keep my hangouts separate from my texting and the Textra UI is very nice and clean.

Although I like that Hangouts is a unified messaging app (I still think there can be tweaks to make it much better) - I might have to try Textra out of sheer curiosity. I have seen numerous people cite this app and say nothing but good things about it so naturally i'm curious.

Yeah that's basically what I've been doing so far, but like I said its more of "convenient" feature that would make hangouts noticeably better, at least in my opinion it would

I understand your POV on it but on the flip side, I think creating another icon might just undo the direction they are moving towards with hangouts. Maybe a variation of the hangouts notification with an envelope in the middle to distinguish between the two. Only issue is, when you get a chat AND sms then you run into the issue of having 2 different icons pop up for the same app technically. Unless there's a way it can switch between the two and look like a loop movement if you know what I mean

I never really thought of it as issue to have two notifications for the app, but like you said it might not go along with what they're trying to do (unifying everything). But if they were actually able to loop it like that, it would plain awesome. Maybe a unlikely feature for now (especially if it were to come from Google), but maybe some future devs are willing to work on it... would be amazing if they did :good:

nova prime and telsa unread

I am using the beta version of nova prime along with telsa unread as I miss having notification icons after moving from IPhone.
I have found however that the unread counts are either wrong or often very slow to clear after I have read the unread notification.
Any ideas how I get around this or can suggest another way I can get reliable unread notifications.
I don't understand why this unread notifications work perfectly with the likes of Samsung etc with their skins but we can't get it to work on a pure android device.
All help welcome please.

Have you tried contacting the dev? They are pretty responsive.

I don't know what to say except it might be a beta thing... is there any reason you are using beta over 5.0.1? I use 5.0.1 and haven't had a single issue with teslaunread badges.

I have the problem that the number in the badge is not correct

Contacted the Dev last night and they sent me a new apk to install. Still don't think it's reading correctly though and certainly not working with my selected Gmail inbox.
The refresh after you have read the item s slow also.

Do you have the option configured in the Nova Settings > Labs > Gmail Unread Count maybe?
