[Q] Samsung Email background color - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using the Samsung email client on my Galaxy Note, but it is defaulted to a black background and white text. I believe before I upgraded to 2.3.6 that I could have a light background with dark text. Does anyone know how to change the Samsung email app to light background with dark text? (Not talking about the Gmail app).
Thanks!

Yeah, I've looked for that option for weeks now! I remember i used it on 2.3.6 since my Note came with 2.3.6, but i can't find it anymore.

Go to Menu -> More -> account Settings
the last option in the menu is 'Background color'.
Nothing like hiding a really useful option way down in the settings eh ?

[Q] 2.3.3 Update | No more #s over icons

Hi all,
So I've updated to 2.3.3 and now I no longer get my 'unread' notifications over my icons (specifically Messages and GMail). They do appear in the notification bar, however, so as far as I know everything is turned on as much as it can be.
Is this because of the specific ROM I installed (below), or is there a setting I'm not noticing?

Have you added just a shortcut to messages rather than the widget for messages?
I think it's a shortcut, but this was the functionality I had in 2.2 - the icons were still in place after the update to 2.3.3 but the notification numbers no longer appear.

For an app shortcut, you don't get the unread numbers. Remove shortcut, add widget.
OK, noob question time...
If I add the Messages widget, I get something other than an icon - I get a large thing that displays messages. Am I missing something obvious?
This is what I did to get the icons on my home screen: Personalize > Add items to Home > App > Messages.
Thanks again!

Ooops you're right sorry, I'm sure that was what you had to do in the old Android 1.1 days though. Maybe I'm mistaken.
Perhaps something to do with your notification settings in messages?
Haha! No worries. At least I'm not as dumb as I thought..
All notification settings are 'on'. Thanks for your time!
In case anyone else runs into this - remove the app from the home screen and re-add it. Seems to have solved the problem.

hi guys
I just updated my HTC ONE to 4.3 version, but surprisingly i couldn't find the lock screen setting any more! it used to be in setting>personalize,

The option was removed, you can't have the lockscreen settings, and you can't change the wallpaper or choose will ls apply.
But some of this feature will be in the Final release of the ViperOne.
Like they mentioned, this option is removed but you can go to:
Settings -> Security -> Notification Settings (4th option from top to bottom)
And in here you can choose what you want to be displayed in your lockscreen, the options are Phone (missed calls), Voice Mail, Text messages, Emails and calendar events.
apart from this, I believe the lockscreen widgets are always accessible if you swipe from the right corner and cannot be disabled... I think, so in a way you have almost all the functionality and "options" of the lockscreen choice you had in past sense versions.
Hope this helps!

Screen lock policy

Hello everyone,
I want to get the note 4 but I have noticed on kit kat the lockscreen policy app doesn't work. I really don't want the camera button there & I would like my messages to appear as an icon like 4.3 and the capability of reading it from my notification screen. I know I can disable the messaging portion of it but, if I do it will still pop up saying new message on the lock screen & can't read it from the notification screen. Any recommendations or suggestions?
Go to Settings/Lock Screen. Untick the Camera Shortcut option.

Thanks for the advice. The camera icon is no longer there however, i still see the messages appear on the screen. Is there a manual way to remove this or an xposed tweak?
Any updates on how to get rid of the message icon ( circled in red )
But keep the message icon? (8circled in blue)

Anyone else missing gmail notifications unless screen is on?

I have no power saving settings on like aggressive doze or close high powered apps.
Ill just let my 3T's screen turn off and send an email to my gmail account from my work email. I will not get a notification unless I turn on the screen.
Yes, I have this issue only with Gmail, Oxygen 4.0.2.
Same here.
It happens with WhatsApp as well but I hadn't had time to troubleshoot it.

Gmail/Inbox use normal priority notifications as opposed to high priority, therefore will never bypass Doze. For some odd reason however, selecting Do Not Optimize makes no difference. This issue is not specific to the 3T.
I have noticed this too with whatsapp i can't remember if it started happening on 4.0.2 or when i flashed a different kernel, probably 4.0.2 related
I have exactly the same issue ... mostly with gmail and possibly with other apps like Whatsapp (I need to use my phone more to be sure) but surely and deeply with gmail.
Sometimes I receive push notifications on my OnePlus3T (running OOS 4.0.2 and unrooted) flawlessly, sometimes it takes a delay from one minutes to several, sometimes I need to wake up my phone (with the Jedi move of waving my hand over the proximity sensor) and sometimes I need to open the gmail app and force the update with a slide.
I think I also notice a random delay for the notification even if the screen is on and the phone in use, which seems to exculpate the doze mode but I'm not 100% sure and it is much more rare.
This is really annoying to me as I didn't have this issue with my old Nexus 5 and which I don't have on my work iPhone. I try to convince myself that it is not a big deal but it's not easy ^^.
I tried to contact Google on this but they weren't helpful on that matter.

There a 120 pages post on the OnePlus forum about this issue on the OnePlus 3, even before OOS 4.
Can you tell me where is the "Do Not Optimize" option you're talking about (despite it is not working, strangely) thanks !
if you are ready to sacrifice a little bit of battery life, you can turn off Doze. You would need to do that in 2 places.
1. Settings -> Battery -> Three dots top right -> Aggressive doze and app hibernation -> Turn off
2. Settings -> About Phone -> Keep taping Build Number until phone marks you as a developer -> Go back one screen -> Developer Options -> Doze mode -> Turn off
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip.
I will give it a try but read on the OnePlus forum that it was not really a game changer.
I hope people working on Android know about this "feature" and will correct it soon if it has an impact on all Android N users !
I have that same issue.
Everything was working for me perfectly then all of sudden. Notification for Gmail Google plus and WhatsApp stops working no matter I am on mobile network or WiFi.
It work only when I open the app
I am on RR Rom
The easiest fix I found for my work email (Nine), which wasn't getting timely push notifications... was to just turn off battery optimization for this app. That made it perfect and instant notifications again. Presumably it uses more battery in this mode, but I still need it.

How exactly does one turn off optimization? I can't find that option. Thanks

I guess this is issue with number of handsets, I am facing this issue in my leeco LE 2 as well. Thinking of upgrading to op3t just for this issue but found this thread, what a bummer.

It's kindof hidden:
Go to Settings-> Battery-> 3 dots in upper right
Then in Battery Optimization section, select 'All apps' from the pulldown selector at top.
Then find your app and change it to 'not optimized'

Yes it was kind of like an easter egg but I found it. Notifications are coming in on time so far I hope that's fixed the problem. Thank you

I dont find Gmail in the listed app?
In the Battery Menu/3 dots I don't have a Battery Optimisation Section but 2 settings (with my own translation from French to English, sorry about that) :
- apps hibernation & doze
- greedy application management
In the first option, there's a selector to activate or not the Apps hibernation & aggressive doze --> I disabled the option (and one can choose the app to optimize or not, but gmail is not on the list)
In the second option, I have a selector to allow to shutdown automatically "greedy" apps --> I disabled the option
However, in the Applications menu, while choosing the wheel then the Special Access Menu, there's an option for "Battery Optimisation" in which one can choose - one by one - the Apps that are optimised or not.
Anyway, for me, disabling the Doze mode in the Developper options seems to solve the problem with Gmail but i still have issues with delayed/lost notifications for other Apps (Twitter, Le Monde, ...).
And I'm running 4.0.3

That's weird, I do have Gmail listed in mine. Make sure you set it to show all apps.
Also, I haven't done anything unusual with Gmail, like converted it to a system app, for example. It was flashed as part of Gapps Micro.
FI, just posted a bug report on that issue : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/random-delay-with-push-notificatio-ns.500958/

Question Custom Message in Lock Screen

I think AOD (Always On Display) has something to do with it but it seems that the option to change the custom text on Lock Screen is removed from OP10 Pro. If true, it is pretty stupid. I mean remove the text set during earlier OS versions and remove the option.
Now I have a text there which could be a wrong info (ex-wife and such) but no option to edit/remove it!
Any help please.
I think you are looking for this...
Settings; personalizations; always on display; display settings; display message.
Is that it?
First of all, thanks for replying.
I do not have Personalizations at all, under Settings. "Always-On Display" is found under Settings > Wallpapers and style > AOD. Under this > More Display Settings > Info does show some info that I can add/remove, but can't edit the message that was already set before OOS13
BTW I am on OOS13.0 (Android 13), v NE2211_11_C.20. No root, no magisk, no customization of any type!
Same problem

Made an account just to post this and come out of my lurker hole.
To get Google pay option in the lock screen shortcut section available, I have to open "wallet" from the status bar drop down menu. If you open the wallet app this will not work.
Once wallet is opened from the drop down menu's icon, three dots on top right will have 1 option for lock screen settings. Click that and the first option is to change lock screen message text and the first toggle option is to allow wallet access from lock screen shortcut.
Here you can fix your text and or make that other setting available for use.
These lock screen settings are only accessible through this drop down quick menu that I have found and not the wallet app for some odd reason.
I accidentally set a "test" text to see where it would be placed and then couldn't get back to the setting and spent the next 8 hours trying to find it.
Hope this helps all who are as confused as I was.
Probably try Google Assistant application, by voice searching through it for "lock screen text" . It worked for me on Android 13 (OnePlus phone)

The issue is with the AOD custom text message, not the locksreen one.
