Mail widget - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, for some odd reason when you add the stock mail widget and select just inbox, you can only select a sub folder?!? Worked fine on 4.3 and below. I have it on my home screen usually to see new email, but now I cannot select inbox, only my sub folders under it!! Anyone else have same issue? May only be if you have sub folders under inbox?

I have exactly this problem on an IMAP account. Haven't found a workround yet.

I had it on my exchange account and got around it by moving the folder out of the inbox, setting up the widget, then putting it back again.

[Q] Asus Email Widget for GMail?

Is there any way to get the Asus email widget to open GMail instead of the stock Email app?

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

Landscape gmail with Preview?

I swear I've seen a few videos that showed the gmail app in the SR to show an email preview when in landscape view with the inbox on the left and the selected email on the right. I can't figure out how to get this option if it exists.
Anyone else seen this or get it working or was I seeing a different phone?
Thanks
The stock email app has that. Maybe that's what you saw.
Yeah it was thanks for replying. Weird Googles own gmail lacks advanced things.

Share Photo

When in the gallery and you click on share within a pic...I was wondering if there is a way to make messaging appear towards the top of the list. Its annoying to hit more and then scroll down to messaging since most of the time I share pics via MMS.
Thanks
I think if you choose mms several times, it will come towards the top of the list.
I tried skydrive before it was in the more, then one day it just came in the first 3 or 4 choices.

Email app glitch?

Guys, on the standard email app, when I swipe to delete I'm left with a grey box with an 'undo' message. I understand the reason for this.
But after deleting and exiting the app, if I haven't swiped up or down when I return to email that box is still there and no new emails will download until that grey box has been swiped away!
Is this a KitKat glitch or odd inclusion?

[Q] Choose phonebook source?

Hi all. I can't seem to find where to set the default address book to pull up when using the phone app. All I see is all contacts at the top which is definitely not what I want. Thanks!

Go to the people app, on the bottom right tap on the 3 dots and you will see an option to choose which contacts are displayed.
Hope this helps.
