[Q] Disable message preview on gmail notifications - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have been searching my hat off for this and couldn't find someone else with the same problem as me. I don't know if this is also the correct forum to ask this (there are so many), but since I have a TF300T, I thought I'd leave this here. I hope someone can help me further with this. Any help is appreciated!
If I get a new message with Gmail, I get a notification, which is very nice! There is only 1 thing bothering me, and that is that it will display a preview of the message with the sender. It will display the sender and the subject on the bottom right corner when a new message arrives I believe and if you tap on the bottom right corner a taskbar thingie comes up with even a preview of the message. I would really love have those previews removed and the only thing I would like is a notification that I have a new message instead of all the previews. I don't know if such thing is possible, even if it's with an external application. I just love to lock my devices apps (yes my gmail is password protected) and don't want everyone to see my incoming mails when using my tablet.
Like i said before, I hope someone can get me a step further in achieving this so I can get rid of my only annoyance of Gmail for Android and any help is appreciated!
I'd also like to add that I love the TF300T! I just got it a few weeks ago and have a lot to get used to since I finally decided to upgrade from my Gingerbread device The TF300T just screams value for your money, thats why I ended up buying it in the first place

Please Standby!
Asus has released news that in March they will release a 4.2 update for the tf300. Android 4.2 includes multi-user features. At that time you can set a second user for others to use and they will only have access to what you have allowed.
4.2 is available in a couple of custom roms now but stock is on the way.
Good Luck!

Today page

I apologize in advance if this is something that is well known to all the people who can use the search engine on the forum, but I haven't seen anything like that in the postings i have read so far.
Some time today, I have got this problem that I am eager to solve. I just got my Fuze on Tuesday, so over the last couple of days I have installed a large numbers of .cab files. Apparently, after one of this installations something have changed, and on my Today page there is a white shade of the man's head (if you go to Contacts tab, for the contacts, for which you have no picture, you will see a smaller version of it)
So, my question is whether there is a way to remove it from my Today page
Thanks in advance

Looks like a regular wallpaper to me. Try to change it in TouchFlo: Settings->Wallpaper and choose something different... or restore it to default.
I believe it is so!!
Thanks, guys. Indeed the problem was solved by setting the wallpaper to default. Once again thanks a lot for your help - it is my first WM phone, so I am still learning
no worries. I know many who usually prefer the hard way to learn

Exchange can't compose

So I've been running the 2.1 ROM's for the past few weeks and in that time I just noticed that I am unable to compose a new message via EAS. I can forward and reply like no other, but when I try to send a new one no dice. Anyone else experiencing these issues, or am I the only one. If so this will help and I can muck around with Exchange server.
Thanks
See if this thread helps > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662396
Otherwise I saw something before about TouchDown or some app helping with that problem
It's not that its a whole different thing now. BTW that was my thread.
Oh damn it is... should've payed attention. my bad. i look like an idiot lol
Okay,
So it looks as though it's a message format issue. The message format is set to Plain Text but I need to change this in order for it to work. I'm running Fresh Rom and it appears to be grayed out. Anyone know how to adjust this without using Touchdown.
Thanks
anyone know?
I'm still attempting to resolve this, it appears it's an issue with not being able to change the message format. I download Touchdown to test this theory and it worked. Is there a way I can change this setting using adb? I really need to get this resolved, it's hard not to be able to create new emails using my device, I have to wait an hour or two until I get back to my desk.

[APP REQUEST] Social Centric Phonebook

Hello all,
I hope I'm not infringing on some forum rules by asking/posting in this format.
I am looking for a Social centric phonebook much alike the one found with HTC sense or other customized interfaces.
To be clear I'd like to find all information attached to a particular contact in 1 place. So if I get to Mr X, i'll see all text messages ever exchanged with him, his facebook, twitter, what have you page and call logs.
I've seen Phonebook 2.0 www [.] voxmobili [.] com / phonebook / which looks just about right except it appears it hasn't been launched yet.
So is there anything right now that could do the trick.
Note: My nexus is 1 week old if even and I'd rather not root for now but I'd be glad to hear about apps that'd require rooting, for future reference.
Many thanks
www.getaddressbook.com
does what you wwant, but its not perfect. Hopefully it will improve.
That's definitely a good start thanks. I see that the latest version has FB disabled though, I'm not a big user but most of my contacts will be from there so I'm pondering a bit on whether I'll wait or install right away

Are you sure? This appears to be the same version I used to use... You have to install the 'mix-ins' seperately comprende? Or did you do that and it still didn't work? If you want, you can ***** at the dev here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623851

Actually I read on the changelog that FB was disabled and on market people were complaining about FC's. But I installed it and it works

Text Messenger - The Text Message Away Message

Hey all, I'm new here but was looking for an outlet to announce applications. I have just finished up my first Android App and was hoping for some reviews/comments/suggestions. Criticism Encouraged!
Text Messenger is a simple away message application for your Android phone. There is a full version for $1, and a DEMO version (where you cannot change the default away message) for FREE.
Give it a try, then give it a Buy!
EDIT: updated barcodes to go directly to Android Market, rather than through AndroidZoom.
Just checking in to see if anyone had a chance to review my app, and had any comments/suggestions/criticism?
To make it easier to find I will post some barcodes (DEMO and Full Version) for the apps.
Thanks.

I'll check out the demo version real quick and tell you my thoughts =P

Don't mean to be mean, but don't people take a non-reply to mean that the recipient is away/busy ?
I can't test this because I use gvoice for texting.

That's alright, I know this isn't for everyone. With the current state of texting, especially with the younger crowd, I have seen many instances where people say "What the [email protected]#$ why aren't they texting me back!!!"...I guess this is more for those types.
Also, I find myself in situations where I really should not be reading/responding to text messages but I end up giving in knowing there is a message. With Text Messenger you can set your Away Message and automatically put your phone on silent at the same time. So when I am driving, in class, or anywhere else where I shouldn't be answering a text I do not feel the urge.
Pretty cool - few suggestions
Hey, just checked out the demo version of the app. I'm a brand new Android user. Coming from windows mobile I needed an app like this. Just a few thoughts as to what would make this an even better app. These are just suggestions and ways that I would like to be able to use the app.
1. Allow for profiles to be set up. Such as during certain user defined times, the app automatically sets an away status.
2. Allow for away statuses to be enable for specific contacts, like a black/white list.
3. Set up a quick reply list so I can select from some predefined messages such as "Call if it's an emergency", "In class"...
Keep us updated...
Nice app by the way

I do not know why you would not be able to find my app? Did you try scanning the barcodes I supplied? Do you have Android 2.2?
Anyways, I attached the apk for the DEMO Version of the app. In this version you can not change the away message, but if you purchase the full version for $1 USD the away message is completely customizable.
Thank you for the interest in my app!

Thanks for trying out my app.
I plan on adding a customizable list of away messages, so you can easily set "In class" etc...look for that update soon.
The Black List & Scheduled away messages are a great idea, although the initial decision creating the app was to make it as simple and quick as possible. Adding these features would be great, but also add more complication. I suppose there is no harm in adding these as optional features though, since if people wanted a quick easy solution they could simply not enable them.
I will keep you updated on the changes coming, look for your #1 to definitely be added with the possibility of #2 and/or #3.
Thanks again for trying my app, and leaving feedback!
P.S. Anyone else that has tried the app it would be great if you could rate it on the Android Market. Only a few people have rated it/commented, and I know many more have given it a try.
I like the demo app. I would like to try the full version but don't see it on the Market. I tried the posted barcode and it never loads the link in the browser.
Thanks,
I downloaded the donation version to be able to say what I want. What an awesome application. I can easily say one of my top 5 most useful. I set it when I'm driving, in a meeting, flying (in the air force) or when I'm busy with a million other things. Here is my list of features I would love to see, forgive me for any duplicates from any other post;
1. A widget! One that when pressed will turn on the auto reply AND have a drop down list of saves/pre-made responses.
2. Option to turn off notification bar icon, I hate that big green booger on my minimalist bar.
3. Option to save messages for future use through a quicky list
4. Option to have messages be contact specific (I would love to see this and would justify a higher price as it would make this an essential app, on par with SetCPU!)
5. Lastly, some notification of auto reply being sent, I'm currently not seeing one on my phone.

I'm using Android 1.6 on my HTC Tattoo. I scanned the barcode but I think i cant find it because my resolution (240 x 320) might not be supported.
I would like to buy the app, but i live in Belgium, and payd apps can not be bought from the market.
I just tried to install the app using the apk-file, but it doesn't works. Can u make a version for 1.6 plz, i really like it.

Thanks for giving it a try. If you press the menu button when in the DEMO Version there should be an option for "More Apps" this will bring you to the Android Market where you can see the FULL Version. I also attached a different barcode, this should link directly to the market rather than through AndroidZoom...let me know if that works for you? Otherwise just search "Robott Creations" or "Text Messenger" on the Android Market.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have heard more than once the need for customizable preset messages & option to turn off the notification "booger". I look to add those features this week. The rest of the suggestions I also agree with, and will hopefully work them in. I was looking to keep the app extremely simple, but the feedback so far has made it sound like the app is "too simple".

I am not too familiar with the Belgium Android Community, but it sounded like you said you are unable to buy any apps? If so, I do not know what I can do about that. But I will look into comparability for Android 1.6.
Thanks everyone, the feedback I have been getting has been excellent. I look to add some of these features shortly and supply you with exactly what you are looking for.
Version 1.5 Released
I read all the suggestions, and am trying to get them in ASAP.
Here are some features to hold you over until the next Update.
New to Version 1.5
------------------
* Custom preset Away Messages
- Easy interaction via Context Menu
* Enable/Disable Notifications
* Text Forwarding (Currently only supports other Phone #s)
* Minor Cosmetic Fixes
More Updates Coming Soon!
I hope the Android 1.6 support will be there soon. Such a lovely app ...

Both depend on the support of the project. Currently I have been hearing good feedback, but the number of downloads does not assure me it would be worth the time of creating an Android 1.6 version and/or porting to Windows Mobile.
I am currently working towards Version 2.0, and after that I will investigate porting and 1.6 support.
Thank you both for showing interest.
Any way of choosing which Apps this works with, as just had it in a weird loop on my facebook status. As I have fb notifacations sent to my mobile via texts, its put all away messages on my facebook, then as I had a new post, got sent a new text, which then triggered another away message...... Turned it off for now, but really good and usefull app, if you can have it only work with chosen apps. Like Handcent only.

Using Exchange email with Email.apk and hitting Reply All keeps adding me to the cc!

Exactly as the title says
If i email a person at my company with my phone, it goes directly to them
If they reply, it comes directly to me
If i reply - my default setting is Reply All - it adds my email to the CC
So because they emailed me, and im replying All, it adds me again!
This is fairly annoying!
Anyone else?
I don't reply often from my phone, but the one time I did, it also added me on CC. Kinda annoying.
Haha! So I'm not alone!
Try this though... Create sub folders under your inbox folder and try to use the mail widget for your inbox folder... Or, same thing with the unread email search folder. See if it ever updates after the message is marked as read, or retrieve new unread messages even...
IMO, Google really fudged the corporate mail app in kit Kat... Highly disappointing for a company with ample resources to do better.

Same here, and there is no option that I can find to turn this off.

lots of force closes and it seems to be draining the hell out of my battery.

It never used to do it in 4.3, started in 4.4. It does it for me on my Nexus 4 now it's upgraded also.
Seriously annoying.
Someone has opened a bug here: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62722 - you may wish to star it in the hope it gets noticed/fixed.
