im not sure if this is the right area, if not can a mod move it to the correct one. thanks.
Basically i was messing around on my friends iphone and I had never thought before, but as im sure some will know the apps on iphone update for example the facebook app will have a little 1 on top of the widget to let the user know they have a notification. I was just wondering why ive never seen anything like this for android, is there a reason why it cant be done? if there's already a way to do etc. then let me know please, i just think it would look good. thanks.
i kno there is a app called sms unread, but its only for sms messgs, gmail, and email i think
yeh im thinking more like the windows 7 phone with the updating widgets.

ok i have wm6 i got it here like 3 mounths ago. i dont know what kind it is. but i need a new one. my calls arnt comming in and my e-mail is not working too well. i want something that is stabel, nice, and one thing that is a must is have the phone contacts thing. on mine there is a bar on the top when you opent the phone where your contacts are. thanks
There are already tons of "what should I use" threads - read them and then experiment. No one can tell you what you should use.
well i know. but i dont know of any that have the phone contacts on it. do you know what i am talking about? i will send a pic if needed
please someone. it is very annoying. my friend called me 10 times today (yes i am positive i have service) and i did not get it or get a reminder
Try doing a hard reset (Clear Storage) after backing up your contacts etc and see if it resolves the issue. I'm not going to suggest a rom since you should do your own research.
ok i think i got one. now for the contacts bar, is there something to get that. i will upload a pic in a sec. but i am going with the xm6r3

what exactly are you asking?
Ok I know there is already an My Gamertag App out there and it is a good one. But idk about everyone else but i want something a little more diverse. Here is my idea, one of the great thinks about the xbox360 is its friends and message system. Your friend comes online or you get a message a little popup comes up telling you. I want this but on my phone.
Details:
Program that you login to your gamertag and it displaces all your friends and messages. When a new friend goes online a popup(like txt message notification) comes up saying there are online(like on xbox360). When you get a new message a popup comes up telling you have a new message and from who.
While i do have some programming experience it is very limited. Considering this app would log you into your gamertag i think it would be rather difficult to write...but i think this would be an awesome app, one that i would be willing to put money towards .
What do you think?
Does Microsoft have such an api?

to be honest im not sure, i know you can do all the things i stated by logging into your tag at xbox.com.
The only part that is up in the air is the messages, because friend information can be check online or with the apps like my gamertag the only diffense would be the popup system.
The messaging part may not be possible.
From wat i know so for a friend on mine as an iphone and there is an app like that on there, but the application also even shows his avitar. the apps is called "inxes"
http://www.tuaw.com/2008/12/15/manage-xbox-live-friends-with-inxes/
but i dont think u will be able to login, hopefully microsoft is working on a app like that, if i'm correct a couple years ago there were planning on making xboxlive on WinMo.
i would love an app like this. i have downloaded the my gamer tag app and this prog is great but i would like it to be intigrated into the TouchFlo3D so you get an xbox 360 friends list on the phone so it will operate like the weather tab. so all you have to do is log in your xbox account and it gives you your friends list of who is online and doing what also the ability to send and recieve messages would also be good. then all you have to do is goto the tab and press update to get it refreshed. just a thought. what do you think? is it possible?
Bump? I, for one, would really like to see this app.
Im new to android, as a matter of fact I returned my iPhone to get the captivate and i thought i setup my facebook notifications up right but aparently im not getting my reply to comments etc, i setup the facebook widget on my homescreen but not getting anything...any thoughts?
Only thing I can think of is make sure you havent used a task killer to kill any facebook tasks. If you do that then the facebook widgets stop working I believe.

What kind of facebook notifications are you talking about?
I use the "Feeds and Updates" widget that comes stock on the Captivate and it seems to work ok. Sometimes you have to get it to manually update though.

As far as I know and Ive seen this posted elsewhere with different devices Andriod does not have instant notifications ala IPhone notifications. I found this out when my Fiancee got the EVO 4G. The only way (for now) to get those notifications is to have a text message sent IIRC...

Yes, there are no push notifications on android as there are on iphone. Some apps you can set to go out and actively check for things every few minutes, such as sports scores, emails, twitter updates, etc. But then that obviously uses more battery power. But no push notifications (except for google applications like gmail and google voice).
I just searched the entire forum for Sensation questions about this.
Anyway its my first Android Phone and so far my experience is really good but for 2 issues.
After I made a master Reset because for some reason after the update from HTC to 1.35.401.1 just so you know I am on this update now the issues where there before this update.
Anyway my first issue or question is with the Calendar and its damn reminder/notification option, I just came from Sony Ericsson Satio/U1i where when I have created the event and go to remind/notifies me I get following options: Date and Time where I can set it to remind me of this even at the date and time I want. Where in the Calendar on HTC I only get the option of X Minuts/Hours/Days/Week preset by Google or HTC not sure who, no 100% free customization is there a Fix for this or something, I have searched the web and the market for anything that could do what I needed, but so far come up short, I normally demand my events to tell me the day before at 6PM that I next day have something planned, and atm I can trow this phone and all the apps and calendars I found into a wall and tell it to well never come back. Its the worst useless Calendar i ever seen. Anyway Anyone know a fix for this or a app I have missed that give me 100% customization over this?
My second issue or Question is for some reason when I wanna make a phone call or makes a new text/mms and wanna find the person to call am I showed both my phone Contacts and my Sim contacts even tho I told under persons to hide my Sim contacts, is there no way to make sure it do not show the damn sim contacts without having to delete them?
I hope you can help and I'm truly sorry if I missed anything that answer this but I searched Sensation department for it and found nothing giving me this answer.
calendar: can't you just download another calendar app that works how you want it? it's not the worst calendar you've ever seen just because it doesn't do 1 thing that you want it to do
contacts: people still have sim contacts? since android, i have found it far more convenient to just have all my contacts set up as google contacts, and just sync that...maybe you can set up your sim contacts as a 'group' and then only view specific groups when you want them?

I know my writing in English is not that good because its not my main language and also because i have a mild dyslexia, but I did write in the Calendar part that I have since I found out of this issue tested many if not every single Calendar APP I could find. I also tried APP's that claimed to improve on the original Calendar yet non did what I needed, Either there where no option to set a Reminder/Notification or if there where it used the build in version = UTTER CRAP. Hence why I ask here in hope someone know something that could do it, I have not tested the ones you have to buy as I have no refund chances in case it does not work well those I found has not and Google confirms that, so since I can't read anywhere they have it will I not waste my money on it just yet.
And Yes it is the worst Calendar on the fact no Company like Google who claims to make something for everyone including BIG BUSINESSES, would in their right mind send out something That do not allow for 100% customization over the reminder/notification in it like this, No wonder Google keeps scoring low in making good products for Businesses in this area. Had Google not claimed to make something GOOD and something that everyone including big businesses could use then I would agree then its just a stupid move and sad move.

Get the app Volume+ from here. Mess around with the settings but be careful. It helps a lot.

Anyone with ideas/help for my Calendar and SMS/MMS/Phone Call issues?
Im wondering if there is a place to submit ideas on widgets/apps. There's not many people with the talent/skills to create programs but its sometimes the ones that know less that can think out the box.
Does anyone know of such a place?
I have this idea for an Instant Messenger widget. Since im very fond of widgets (because to me its a huge difference between our apps and iOS apps) I would love to be able to go through my AIM/Yahoo Buddy list on screen and send a message to someone that way without having to open up the specific app.
If something like this already exists id love to know about it. Even if its just a widget showing you who's online and when tapping sends you to an IM box (Kinda like the FB widget that shows you recent status updates/news posts.) If not id love to spread the idea and see if anyone can create such a thing.
Post this in the general android forums under the proper section rather than a device-specific forum under Development (where it should not be). Someone there might have some ideas.

I was thinking that but I've seen many other IM apps that weren't made by AOL or Yahoo so I figured a 3rd party would be more interested then the main source. Especially after seeing AOL ruin their AIM app with their recent upgrade.
Is there a way a Mod can redirect this thread to the proper place or should I just create a new one?

I promise you that none of the developers in this forum would be willing to spend time on an AOL widget I didn't know anyone still used that.

Yeah Im sure its a dying program but I figured it would bring it back a bit if it was always on =P like BBM ... when I had a bb i hated bbm but i used it cuz it was just ALWAYS on. If I had a widget I would always be on lol if i had the time I would love to learn how these things work and just make one.
