I have been looking deeply into finding some kind of fix or app to allow all reminders/appointments in the calendar to constantly remind until dismissal, just like WM.
Is there anything out there?
"Missed Call" has that feature, however I've never used it because it says it's experimental. You have to disable to original calendar notification, and I believe clear the reminder from the notification bar at the top.
It is a great program though, might be worth you checking out. I use it for repeat reminders of calls, sms etc.
I believe it can be accomplished with Tasker. I"m attempting to get a profile set up for that no. My first attempt is not working like I expect. But I think it is possible.
Try calendar snooze app in the market. The free version I am currently trying is limited, but still very useful.

I have also gotten used to the pesky calendar reminders as a 9 year WM user that recently switched to Android. As a matter of fact I've already missed a few important calls as a result. OP, please let us know if you find anything.

Thanks! I installed a bit ago, and this is quite nice. Can even customize to be different for various calendars.
Just checked my market updates, and there's an official Facebook update in the market (version 1.50)!
It allows push notifications aswell as Facebook chat!

I'm not getting instant notifications either. Chat will come up, but nothing in the realm of push notifications. tested sending from from my wifes account to mine.
chat works great, push notifications doesn't work. still have to check app just for the notifications :/
Great for letting us know
Okay, a question about chat since I've never had it before through Facebook. How is your online status "toggled" while using chat?
So if I open up the facebook app, and look at my news feed, am I now online? And to go offline, do I physically have to go into facebook chat and click "go offline"?
Also, if I want to be on chat, but have it run in the background, how can I confirm that it's running?
The entire user interface seems very poor. Wouldn't the ability to toggle chat on/off and easily access conversations and your status from the notification bar be essential in this type of app?
notifications works fine for me... kinda odd though since the messages and other stuffs still uses interval... only the posts and such has push.

According to the Facebook page of Facebook for android, push notifications is only supported with android 2.2+

Yeah, I see that. But there's no "Go online" option, is there? So how do you ever know if your online or offline? I don't know, I'm used to Go!Chat. There should be some clear toggle option.
How about for people that never want to appear online?
For example, I just opened up facebook on my phone and hit chat. I guess I'm now online? So now I hit android home. Am I still online? How is there anyway of knowing? Online until when?
It's completely non-functional as a useful mobile chat app.
[edit]
I've also tried multiple times to close "active conversations", and they keep showing back up on all refreshes. I was looking forward to native facebook chat, but I'll stick with 3rd party apps until they can improve this.
Chat and Push both are working flawlessly on my Droid 2. Rooted but running a pretty much stock OS.
About time they got this one out. Was doing this with a blackberry almost 2 years ago. I am now able to remove about 4 apps that I was running in order to cover my FB account while mobile.
Nice work Devs!
Push notification working good on my evo. I was also using f plus and had it set for five minutes and I'm getting notification quicker with the official app
I download it from market but installation failed. Did I do anything wrong or it is caused by android build on HTC HD2?
Long conversations
And still it is not possible to have long conversations. Quite annoying

Hi All,
Sorry if this issue has been brought up before but i couldn't find an answer anywhere on the forums. Please note that this is my first Android device and i'm still getting accustomed to the OS.
I prefer using the stock email app over the gmail app on the galaxy S3, however, everytime i receive a mail notification and want to check it, the phone automatically opens the gmail app to check the email instead of the stock app.
I can't find anything in the settings menu or the settings in either application to help with this issue.
Anyone know how to set the stock email app as the default to open emails from the notification bar?
Thanks!
Go to settings>apps>all and disable Gmail. Haven't tried this with Gmail but I have to assume it works, I can vouch for disabling the stock browser and messenger this way.

Hey all!
Just got my Galaxy S6 yesterday and not sure if I am not just used to the changes in lollipop or if the changes are really that bad!
What happened to the organization of the old email app?
This may be the wrong thread and if so, please point me in the right direction.
I get a lot of spam at work, and sometimes it is easier to click on the date ticker, which selects all of the emails for that day and I can mark them as read or delete them.
Now it is just one huge stream of emails with no way to pick multiple emails at once to delete or mark as read.
Am I just missing something?
Is there anyway to select multiple emails or do I really have to go through each email individually?
And , if this functionality is not available, can anyone recommend a good email app where I can select multiple emails at once, particularly by date? Otherwise the app is pretty much useless to me.
I have an out of the box Sprint Samsung Galaxy s6 that is unrooted.
Thanks all

Been using the Gmail app for my Google and external accounts. No issues whatsoever. Stopped using the Galaxy email app built in since the S5 version started acting funky with read mails randomly becoming unread.

Gmail app looks too clunky and doesn't allow me to pick multiple emails with one click..
I use Kaiten.
I tried gmail briefly after I got my S6 but it's awful by comparison. I don't know how people use such a limited app for email.

It definitely does. You press and hold one mail and the colours kind of go grayish. Then go tapping on multiple mails to select them. From here you can perform various actions like mark as read, delete etc.

That is not the what I am looking for. With the KitKat stock email, you can pick the date...say Weds April 22. You click the box next to that date and every email on that date is selected. You are suggesting that I click each indvidual email which is exaclty what I don't want to do.
Any other suggestions?
Kaiten does not have that either.
That's an interesting filter/option. Not something I've needed before.
Have you tried some of the top rated email apps in play store?

Yes...they all are the pretty much the same and don't do the things that the email app did before.

Mike, I use the email exactly as you do. I'd click on a day and the app would check all of the emails . I'd then uncheck the ones I wanted to keep our read and then hit delete. This was magic. I'm lookin at all email apps. Have you found anything yet?

You can activate the select/multi-select option by holding your fingertip on the date bar. The selection boxes will slide in on the left side of the screen.

Hi. All. I need also for the stock Samsung Galaxy S6 the button to select/mark All mail at one time.
In HTC Sense i didn't get this problem.
I was wondering if anyone found a solution yet. I am in same situation...nice new phone but painful to go through emails. I used to select all from he date...same as OP ..then just uncheck the five or so I wanted to keep. Now I have to check 80 boxes. Any new info would be appreciated.
Use the official outlook app or cloudmagic. Problems solved.

Been using K9 email for a long time...never have a problem
might help
I know this is not what you were looking for but it might help someone looking for this...
to delete all emails you can long press on one email, until it is highlighted grey (or tick the box (to enable this box you can press the 3 dots and go to settings of that email and it is in there to enable tick box))
once you have one email highlighted, the top bar will turn orange and show the number of emails selected and the trash can etc...
if you tap on the number of emails selected (one at this point) there will be a drop down to say 'select all'...
I know it is not what OP wanted but I ended up here looking for this info so maybe someone else will too...

strange... I am using the default Android Lollipop Email app... just tested on another phone too...
MailDroid is my standard mail app, used it on many phones. But I'm having trouble using it on the Mate. When a message comes in the notification sound is cut off very quickly or doesn't sound at all.
The developer says the app works OK on the latest Android, but I think it might be related to the unusual Huawei chipset.
Is anyone else here using MailDroid?
I use it and it works just fin, NO notifications problems.

What settings are you using for Connection Management?
I'm using Stay Connected on WiFi, and Close Connection on mobile with check mail every three minutes. inc while sleeping. I've tried other settings but the problem stays the same.

I am having the same issue. Any resolution? I have tried different stock sounds as well as my own; all get cut off or play for a split second.
Still no fix here. I thought it might be due to the Mate's very strict battery saving. But I've tried all the settings without success.
I know MailDrid's tech support were looking into it - perhaps you could drop them an email?

I sent an email to the Dev. We'll see what happens. I am like you, love Maildroid and have used the paid version for years. I have MD on my Mate8 and I do not have this issue with the notification sounds.
It's a real pain only getting a short beep, always a danger of missing emails coming in.
It doesn't happen with the built-in Mail app, but that is nowhere near as good.
If you hear something, please come back here. I'll do the same.

I have an email into the dev, but no response yet. Did you get a response? How did you contact them? I could have sworn they had a Google+ page or something similar where I posted an issue and within an hour he posted a response. I can't find that group anymore.

I emailed to the address on the Maildog Pro page on Android Play. Got a reply to say they are working on it. If you didn't get a reply I would try again.
They do have a forum but it seems to be disfunctional.

Thanks. I sent a follow-up email, still no reply. What are you using in replacement in the meantime? I tried AquaMail - seems ok. Blue Mail, Outlook + myMail look nice, but not customizable.
I really need an app that is customizable where I can have multiple accounts, be able to specify Reply-To, etc
I'm using BlueMail at the moment. As you say it's not as flexible but at least you can hear when you get a message.

Try this... activate notifications in the Gmail app. Turn sounds + icon notifications off in Maildroid. Place a Maildroid widget on your Home Screen which shows the badge count of new emails. When Gmail sound-notifies, open via Maildroid. Once the message is read, the Gmail notification icon disappears from Notifications Bar.
PS... still no response from the dev from my 2 emails.
Thanks! I'll try that, and give the developer another email

Still no fix or response from dev, There have been (2) updates to the app since our last posts; none fix the issue.
Yes, I've been following it. I'm not at all sure that this is 100% a MailDroid fault. Some other email apps are affected, some aren't.
I gave up. I switched to AquaMail Pro. Very similar and highly customizable. $4.99. No notification/sound issues!
Hi guys im using stock mail app but I don't like that it synchronize gmail,yahoo and Hotmail every 15 minutes... Is there any mail app that synchronize "on time"?

You mean to say push ? For that you will have to use some other email client
