I have done a search but found nothing on this.
I have set up access to my NTL/Virgin email account on the XDA Stellar and I want to have timed send/receive on my email throughout the day, but want to turn it on to manual when at home as I am usually on the PC so have regular send/receive through Outlook. Is there a way of creating a link to do this with a one touch on/off option rather than going into email options and trawling through the wizard every time?
Not a big issue but would be quicker if there was a button or link to do this on the fly.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

NguyenHuu thanks for that. It isn't exactly what I was looking for but is as close as possible at the moment. Its just a shame that altering the schedule on email synchronisation is so awkward having to go through the wizard every time - a direct link to that part alone is what is needed.
The programme you pointed to is very interesting and provides some good control features for email.
Thanks again.
I have found exactly what I wanted - after a long search.

This programme does exactly what I wanted by adding a applet to adjust the send/receive schedule without having to go through the email account setup every time. Added a shortcut to the start menu so all sorted now, thought I would post in case someone else was also looking for a solution.

No problem, hope you find it as useful as I am finding it.
up-date
Having used both rk-OSR and Auto Email Checker I have found that both seem to work ok for the first email check in the schedule and after that you either need to initiate a manual send/receive with Auto Email Checker or wake-up the phone for rk-OSR to work. So end result is that I am back to editing the email account to switch on and off email sheduling.
Any one else found the same problem with these two promising looking programmes?
I am using the O2 Stellar with stock rom.

Hi
I have quite a lot of folders in my Exchange mailbox that hang off the Inbox. I also have server side rules that move incoming mail into the relevant folder when it arrives, however the "new mail" notification in the Home screen only shows new mail in the inbox, rather than new mail in another folder. Can this be configured anywhere?
Apologies if this has been covered before - I did try searching but to no avail.
Cheers
Phil
Yes, I need this too. Anyone?
Thinking about the Exchange rules, is there not a way you could add a condition to the server-side rule so that it only sorts the emails into their correct subfolders AFTER they're marked as read? That's the only workaround I can think of for now (and having only used a Kaiser for about 25 minutes, I don't have much of a point of reference).
I hadn't thought of that, but having just had a quick play with the Rules wizard in Outlook it doesn't look like you can control it to that degree. It's a shame because that would work. If anyone can correct me that I would be only to happy to try it out. Failing that, does anyone else know if it is possible to change the Pocket Outlook behaviour so that new mail in sub-folders triggers the New Mail... info?
Cheers
Phil
Does anyone have any other ideas?
In the menu, select 'tools>manage folders...'. You'll be able to select the folders you want to synchronize.

No, there will be no notification if a new mail in other folder then inbox arrives. Tried that
Anyone else?

Go to PocketMax.net and submit this as a feature request to the author of PhoneAlarm - I asked him for the same thing and he's willing to pursue it if there's enough interest.
PhoneAlarm's custom e-mail notifications make up for a LOT of the missing DirectPush functionality, IMO - and this would be a huge help in that area!

Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't have any affect on the new mail notification. Ta though.

Just got a new diamond here in Tokyo connected the Softbank network.
It seems whenever I send out an email via Outlook/SMS/S! Mail(Service that allows SMS-like mail to be sent to regular email accounts or other cellphone providers...most people use it here in Japan) I get a "Your mail has been successfully sent" email confirmation everytime I send out a mail. For someone who uses all three services frequently, it tends to get a little annoying
I've downloaded many tweaks and modification applications for the diamond but it seems I'm still not able to find the workaround...
Does anyone know the cure for this or is this a known problem?

This little quirk bothers me too because I want to hit send and then lock the device; unfortunately, when I hit send and lock the device I get a bunch of notifications and the device unlocks itself and random uttones get pressed as its in my pocket.
It may be best to load a WWE rom and sort out the smail using mmslite. Getting JP input working however is another issue.
For the problem with the notifications in softbank's arcsoft mail app, I wonder if there is a registry fix we can do.
solution for successful sent notification(at least for text)
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamondpro-tweak.html
Go to messages, and disable text messages notifications.
Kevbodian, mjz147,
Thanks, I really appriciate your quick response!!
I checked out that Diamond tweak app and its one hell of an applicaiton!
It seems though, when I disabled the text message notification and soft reset, im still getting those alerts after sending MMS/SMS emails.
Is there something wrong with my device or I may have to do some manual modifications via registry? :\
Tried to just disable em in Windows?
Start/Messaging/Menu/Tools/Options/SMS MMS
There you can disable notifications. Atleast for SMS messages for me it works.

I guess I have bad luck when it comes to disabling notification via Windows.
Unlike the US version, my phone doesnt have just one central location for mail but two (Outlook application - used for PC email & SoftBank Mail - used for SMS and MMS...)
So when I looked under the option menu in Outlook tools, I wasnt able to find any SMS/MMS options...
Im sure theres a registry hack that can be used...im not so sure why the diamond tweak app could apply changes to everything except the "turn off notifications" option though...
Was anyone able to solve this issue?
Did you guys try Advanced Config v3.3?
It has a section devoted to messages tweaks.
It does have a tweak that disables notifications.

I currently have 3.3 installed and have used it to disable/enable many features on my Diamond. But it seems after I disable the 'SMS delivery notification' and 'SMS sent notification" fields (and soft reboot), it is still showing the sent notifications after sms/s!mail is sent...
As Kevbodian was saying, maybe there is a special reg hack that needs to be done under softbank's arcsoft mail app.
could somebody figure out what change is made when that notification is turned off and turn this into a cab file? the only thing that bothers me is the sound. i dont mind the bubble or the little icon on the top telling me that my sms is sent. thanks
this one is simple and right to the point install it and it doesnt give you the message, you dont have tons of menus to navigate through just that install
also i am simply reposting this app i did not develop it or design it credit goes where credit is due
so this turns off the sound AND the notifications also? thanks
yep no sound and no pop up message after sending one
i hope it helps
almost tempted to figure out how cab files work (arent they just reg edits?) and maybe try to see if i can change it myself. i like having the notifications (bubble and little icon on the top) but the sound can be annoying at times,
Edit1: also i just installed advanced config 3.3 and the notification thing works for me.
Edit2: also search "kraiser tweak" and you will find it has settings for this. a lot of settings actually for just the thing you are talking about. now we just need to find the edits in the registry because i dont really like having 2 configuration programs on my phone. (advance config, and kraiser tweak)
Edit3: ok i found this on the wiki....Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
.....so does this mean if it was changed to a 2,3,or 4 that would change the action of it? im really trying to look into this.....if you cant tell haha
I get really annoyed with the msg that says my text msg's have been sent. Is there a way to turn that off or edit the registry so that doesn't occur?
Also want to show more lines of the standard calendar on the today screen. Have used SBSH Pocket Breeze to show stuff on screen, but that is WAY to busy for me on the screen.
Any idea's on either of these?
let me refer you to my post in this other thread in regards to your first question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566237
Yes, I know, and I have searched and searched. Found a lot for other phones, but can't find the one for kaiser...I'm new to a lot of this stuff and when you guys say "search" i don't know what keywords to put or how to search or what I'm looking for...
You can use Tom SMS Messaging setting tool to turn the sms sent notification icon & sound off.
Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541168
If you are refering to sms delivery reports this can be turned of in sms settings.
Don't know the tweak for the calendar issue. Try a few phrases in the search and you might pull something up.

http://lifehacker.com/5611003/build-a-find-my-iphone-clone-for-android
I did and it works OK, but I have a couple of questions I'm hoping someone can help me out with. First, the 'get location' task seems to run fairly often throughout the day despite no text messages coming in (with or without the magic word). I notice this just by the gps icon appearing at the top fairly often and in the battery usage stats. If I disable the task in tasker, then the symptom goes away.
Is there a way to prevent this from occuring and still keep the usability of the hack? It drains needless battery by finding my location 50+ times a day.
Second, I have it set up according to the directions so a text from a specific number with a specific word sends an SMS back to the same specific number with the location. I know I can make it just act on a key word from ANY number, but is there a way to set it up so it'll send the response text back to ANY number that sends a text with the magic word?
Finally, in the SMS response, I'm trying to format it so the coordinates are a link that I can just tap on and get a google map. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a hyperlink to work. Right now I have it text the location response to a google voice number. Even if I format the text like this: "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=31.9xxxx,-110.9xxxx" it doesn't show up as a clickable link, I have to copy and paste it into a browser and then it shows on the map. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!
First off, if I was trying to find my Nexus One and found an iPhone, I'd be pissed.
Couple things... First off, there's a thread here on XDA about creating such a set of profiles, you might check into it.. I have a long standing debt to dump my profiles for this very thing there, but they need rework and I just haven't taken the time to do it yet. :/
So in the last year (that article you point to was written 8/10) Tasker has gotten the ability to get its location by command, so there's no need for a context for it. Just use the Get Location command in your SMS Received task. It'll grab it only when it needs it. Make sure that you make it grab it AFTER the SMS match, or it'll grab GPS every SMS you get.
And to make it respond to a specific number or the number you're sending from, both are easy... To respond to the number you're sending from just make that a separate command that uses the SMS From Last variable and responds to it, not your fixed number. And similarly if you want to respond to an arbitrary fixed number, again, a different command.
You need to go beyond the article and learn Tasker a little.
For sending a map link, I KNOW somewhere I have a link I'm using but I can't find it... Googling is getting me nothing. It was like goog.le/q=lat,lon, but your problem appears to be more that it's not showing up as a link in your particular SMS client, dunno about that.
Thanks khaytsus! I think I did figure out my first problem. I had two profiles, one to get location, and another to respond to the SMS (which used the get location profile). Both profiles were active (had a check mark) when it turns out the location one shouldn't have. After seeing your post though I deleted the location profile and just added a task to use the 'get location' option that you mentioned.
I'll now try to figure out the part about responding to any SMS number.
If you happen to know where that other thread is I'd appreciate a link, I've tried searching but Tasker is mentioned so much it gets a ton of hits. I did get it to work like I wanted though. I just deleted the required incoming phone number match on the condition and replaced the number in the outgoing text response with "%SMSRF" and it works great now. I tried it with my wife's iphone and the response even shows up as a hyperlink! Odd that when I send it from the google voice inbox the response isn't hyperlinked. Oh well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052249
This is the thread I'm referring to, although there are actually multiple ones out there. I think this one is getting some traffic. I really intended to dump my profiles and tasks to let people use 'em but to be honest I don't even KNOW what I'm using.. I'd have to go through the whole thing, I have a lot of nonsense Tasks in Tasker I'm not even using.. Ahem.
Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing
Now I get to know how to use Find my iPhone option
Ive always only ever had HTC phones, had loads of them now, and this time ive had a change and got myself the Note!
Its a bit different and is taking alot of getting used to!!
First one i cant understand is, if i look at a website, and then lock the phone, if i return to it later, and open the internet app, it goes straight to the homepage instead of the page i was last looking at!
My HTCs never did this and im finding it VERY annoying! Can anyone help me with that one!??
Second is the home button, which can unlock the phone from standby!? Seriously who thought this would be a good idea?
Ive seen a solution but the phone needs to be rooted, which seems a bit extreme just to change one button! Is there another way round this?
The third one is about the email clients, i have an exchange account and a hotmail account, the exchange account can be setup to not look for mail when im asleep (out of hours) but the hotmail client cant do this and i recieve all sorts of rubbish all through the night!! Is the only way round this to use the hotmail app and delete the account off the device???
My Desire HD is soorly missed at the moment! Can anyone help???!
Can anyone tell me how to access the browser settings to stop it going to mobile sites? In the menu and settings there isn't anything to disable it, like on opera you could go to opera:config...
Is there something like this i can access on this handset? Please help these niggles are doing my head in and starting to take the shine off the new phone, i don't know where else to ask!
Thanks!

You can acces the user agent settings by typing about:useragent in the adressbar.
With regards to the browser loading again in memory I haven't heard a fix for this. You can fix your hotmail account by using it as an exhange mail type of account. Than the same type of settings should be available to you.
About using the home button to unlock, you mean turn screen on? Or you mean doubletap on the homebutton?

Hadn't even thought of setting up the email like that! I think the phone keeps killing the internet after a while for me so im trying to stop the task manager to see if it helps keep my internet pages loaded...thanks for the info on the browser, and i want to stop the home button being able to wake the phone up, when its locked and you double click the button the phone unlocks and goes to the voice app, can't i have it so the button does nothing unless the phone is unlocked?
Thanks for the reply!
You can disable the double tap on home button in the voice talk settings.
Done that! Nice one! Only one left now is why the phne keeps killing the internet service for me! Hopefully ICS will sort it out when its pushed out!
