I am using TB for my backups and restores as I'm flashing roms quite a bit. The only problem I have is that my standard email (not the gmail app) accounts are not restored. This happens if I go from stock to CM or Axura.
I think i am probably just doing something wrong, but I don't know. Can anybody advise.
I searched before this post but didn't find the answer.
Email is considered a system app. It won't save unless you want to save that, but it can cause FCs.
I personally use K9 Mail and it sticks for the most part. I prefer K9 mail over the stock Email app.

Can't thank you enough zephiK.
I just installed and configured K9 and it is way better than the default email app. Many many thanks.
You the man
Glad I could help Another tip is when you open up K9 go into Settings -> Display -> Theme.
Set the theme to dark and you'll save some battery by using a black background

Anybody know how to do this, it is extremely annoying to have to remember to select google calendar every time you make an entry.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ca...-calendar-default-when-adding-new-events.html
Has anyone figured this out yet? I HATE that I can not change this to default to google's calendar instead of "my calendar"
I agree this is really annoying. I've had to go back and change multiple entries because I forgot to make that adjustment when creating an event.
However in the link above someone made the suggestion of downloading Jorte calendar because it has setting to make google the default. Did you guys give that a try?

I tried Jorte, don't really like it to be honest, feels a bit cluttered and unintuitive to me.
Still waiting for a better alternative...

I'm using Jorte right now. I like the widgets that can display my calendar on the home screen. However, the settings are cryptic at best, and the buttons in the app don't have labels and seem to do different things with each press...
However, it is worth it to have my calendar correctly sync with google without me having to re-select the calendar for each new appointment. I make a LOT of appointments on my phone, and when I realized they weren't syncing, I had to change a LOT of appointments.
Has anyone found a better solution to this bug yet?

Bump for this one. Is this something that would need changed at the OS level? I.e., no quick fix via a small app
Devs, we are calling you!!!!!!!

i'm using gemini calendar. it works great and has some other features.
This is fixed in the new 2.2 update; you can completely disable the "my calendar" app and use the stock google calendar and widget.

it drives me nutts that i cant just glance at my phone!! i have to turn it on then do the unlocking, etc.

I don't know about the stock HTC SMS app but there's an option for this in GoSMS. I highly recommended it.
Or you can try sms popup.

+1 - Great app!
Handcent has screen wake option. And it by far is better than stock messaging app anyway, a billion options to use.

Can't get into handset, it just looks too ugly - even with the skins.
They need to update handcrnt for higher resolution/larger displays.

What he said!
Handcent, second to none for SMS!
thanks a lot guys!
i will definitely try out the apps you've mentioned.
umm?
im loving go sms pro. very clean interface.
however, i accidentally deleted some text messages.
and i dont see a deleted items folder.
is there any way to recover deleted texts??
another vote for handcent here..
Go SMS Pro seems pretty promising thus far. I hated Handcent because of the overall 'old' feel and sluggish performance. Go SMS was a little laggy but I bumped the performance down to the "middle" level and it seems to work quite well now.

If you didn't use the backup that Go SMS offers I don't think you can get them back. Maybe they're hidden somewhere but I wouldn't know how to go about finding them.
If you don't want to change messaging apps, you might want to look at SMSawake or SMS Screen WakeUp.
I'm using Chomp SMS. Let's you preview text and lot's of other options.

Menu in the top right hand of the screen (in the email app)
Click account settings
Add Account is in the top right hand corner.
Make it your default. If you have another email account setup, you may want to delete it. The widget will tell you the total unread emails across all accounts setup.

Already done that
I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so that tapping the widget brings you to the GMail app instead though
The stock email app isn't quite as good as GMail
@slient
I have the same question/problem
I think that's impossible because Google is blocking every connection with Gmail app. No app on the market can connect to Gmail! Even ASUS is not allowed to create an app that works hand-in-hand with Gmail... sadly...

Well, technically, the desired effect can be achieved by checking for unread mail the way it is now but tap action should just open the different app.

Ah my bad, I misread the OP.
Out of curiosity what features do you want the gmail app for? The only real difference I saw was priority inbox/starred mails support. I don't use that often enough myself to worry about it.

GMail handles labels better and has a bigger viewing panel
also the default email app doesn't string conversations together
Not impossible, launcher pro has gmail widgets that I use everyday on OG EVO and 3D EVO

I have it for honeycomb on my transformer running stock 3.2 and it doesn't work.
i don't think it's possible, just use gmail widget
Anyone here can recommend a non-laggy sms replacement app for the note's default one? GoSMS Pro is good, but it's laggy, and i rather some more feedback from the forum here regarding other apps before i go and try them, namely handcent, chompsms, etc..
your input is appreciated. thanks!

I've used Handcent before, but my current favorite is Go SMS Pro.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gosms
If only we could use the stock CM7 SMS App (and dialer, for that matter)! Tried installing it, it starts but FCs when clicking Compose.
Pete
Basically I used ChompSMS and Go SMS Pro. ChompSMS is for the quick reply window which I prefer to hide the text until I press Show and Go SMS is for Private Contacts which I did not want it to show at all in any of the SMS applications.
Handcent is really good with different theme to choose from and have a widget also
Don't forget about jaxtrsms. It let's you send free sms's...
GO Sms is a good choice! Love using it
The OP already said he tried GO but was laggy... and it is very laggy. I'd like to know of something similar too but will actually run well?

I didn't notice that! Actually, another 'choice' that is super fast would be the Go Widget that comes with Go Launcher. It isn't a full-fledged SMS app, but rather a Messages widget that you can add to a homescreen. Since I started using it, I rarely use the actual messaging app on the system. You can view and reply to messages directly from the widget through a popup window. I think the only time it uses your messaging app is when sending a "new message". It is easily the fastest messaging solution out there.
I use metro messanging beta and it is smoth like hell ;-) although it looks like messanging app on windows phone 7. If u like the look try it. I love it

GoSMS is good but the the current update (v4) is a huge letdown... Lots of Bugs (themeing and color customization), no lite mode, a lil laggy... im still using the v3.72...
Thanks all. I Am trying Handcent now, and nt as friendly when coming to individual sms tones, and especially when there's no options for group sms tones
Might have to try the others listed here.. Completely uninstalled gosms even the new version is still laggy compared to Handcent

Hi guys,
I purchased an Xperia Z3 (the lovely silver green one <3) and imported all my contacts from my gmail account.
After using it for a few days, it had imported some profile pics into the contacts app from whatsapp. It was nice, but then I decided to try out NOVA launcher which I didn't find much more useful than the Xperia one. However, when I reverted back to the tradition launcher, all the contact pics had disappeared.
Is there any way I can get them back into the contacts app from whatsapp? I'd prefer to avoid importing facebook contacts because I'd rather not have them all on my phone but i'd reconsider if i could pick which ones I import.
And also, does anyone else find the stock messaging app clunky and slow? If you could recommend some alternatives, that'd be great.
Cheers!
