I would like to ask how to set my blinkfeed to mobile data and wifi instead of WiFi Only. When i go to the setting of blinkfeed, in the auto refresh, its only wifi only, and the button is disabled. Any trick on how to enable it?

Actually I just noticed that my auto refresh is also grayed out... in my case it's set to "Using mobile data or wifi" but the button itself is gray and not selectable so I can't change it! I wonder how that happened...
It would be nice to be able to change it... I wonder if this has anything to do with changes to "Accounts and sync" recently made to deal with my invisible exchange account problem which is now fixed... maybe related.
If anyone else has seen this, please post.
SOLVED
*slaps forehead*
I just needed to enable Auto sync under "Accounts and sync"... now I can select the auto refresh option for blinkfeed and also no more "weather data not available" message either...

I'm talking about the "Auto sync" toggle at the very top of the "settings -> Accounts & sync" page... meaning after you first tap on Accounts & sync, look at the very top area and make sure that "Auto sync" is checked -- meaning set to "ON" with the blue color showing as switched on.
It applies to all accounts -- meaning it's not "Blinkfeed specific", but yet it appears it must be checked in order for Blinkfeed to auto-update properly.
It's right above the text that says "MANAGE ACCOUNTS" in small dark gray capital letters on the Accounts & sync page.
That's what "turned Blinkfeed back on" for me.

Ye, the settings for blinkfeed are in the app itself, where you select topics and services but I thought you had it show up in accounts and sync from how you wrote it lol .. The no weather data available and my location bit really annoy me because often my data isn't strong enough or if the phones been asleep, that it often says this on the lockscreen and on blinkfeed until I manually refresh or turn wifi on ... Probably the one thing I hate about stock because if you don't use data or weather etc you have no way of stopping it showing that which bugs me to say the least.

1. Is there anyway to disable the notification bubble when Tilt notifies its connecting to the network, tired of preesing hide.
2. Is there any resource that identifies unessasary startup services/processes so as to disable them.
3. By the by has anyone expierienced the following.... Upon using the power button to turn off the backlight, the backlight will flicker on and off intermittently... seems to only happen when connected to power.
I just figured this out for number 1 and wanted to post it for posterity
Set the REG_DWORD Options to 0 in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{8ddf46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}
OMG pennywisdom! I have been looking and looking for this information for a looooong time. Thanks a lot!!!!
BTW, does this also disable the 'could not connect' notification bubble? This bubble often comes up while using tomtom navigator in an area where the network coverage is poor and tomtom traffic keeps trying to connect. The bubble comes up, then if you don't acknowledge, tomtom loses focus and screen goes into screensaver...... and so on. Highly annoying! and dangerous while driving!!
For a "resource identifier" I use Dinarsoft's MemMaid and SkTools. They have a clean option that sorts out registry issues and finds bad schorcuts and uninstall data. You could also see if the rom your using has HTC task manager in settings and just shut down open apps from there.
The screen flash when you press the power button happens on some roms, i forgot how to disable it (been out of the scene for a bit) but i'm sure you'll find the solution if u search for it.

Why do a reg edit when its already available in the settings?
Go to Sounds & Notifications in settings, notifications tab on the bottom (how you change your ring/msg tones) Click the "Event" drop down list and select Connection Established, uncheck the box "Display message on screen" .. there you go.
The sounds & Notifications fix does not prevent the 'could not connect' notification bubble for me. Too bad - I have a basement office where connectivity is intermittent at best. Even although I have a rock solid WiFi connection the 'could not connect' notification bubble interupts me a lot.

The short answer is that I had no idea it was there, but it's good to know now so I don't have to remember that registry entry. Thanks!
As the title says... The weather details have stopped working /showing in the calendar app.
Also on start up my phone home page background is usually a grey default pattern but on start up each time I turn the phone on the background shows complete black for a split second before the grey image shows up
Anyone know why for these 2 issues?
Thx
Is location enabled? Can't predict the weather without knowing where you are.
Open calendar app's settings
Scroll to bottom, 4th option from bottom, turn on weather forecast.
From what I remember first time setup you need to put in your city.
It updates when you have internet...I think its the same thing which powers the weather widget, someone else will know if this is true
Yeah guys...the calendar settings have location enabled...it says my city...in fact the weather updates were working in my phone up until I installed and messed around with Themer...then they stopped working. I have since uninstalled Themer...and the calendar weather updates don't work.
Do I have to enable 'Location Reporting' in general phone settings?
Dear fellow xda members,
You might have noticed, it is impossible to use the "turn off" option for S planner, therefore one has to find a way to instal another calendar app without the annoying double reminders/ double notifications effect. I came across this problem and found a simple workaround that doesn't require root.
Here's how :
1- Open S planner
2- Hit the upper right corner (options) and go to calendars
3- Un-tick all the calendars
4- Hit setting and disable all reminders and notifications
5- Go to Settings/app settings/all and find the 2 "S Planner" entries
6- For first S Planner entry hit "force close", "turn off" and "clear data"
7- For the second entry hit "force close" and "clear data" (unfortunately there is no possibility to turn this one off)
8- Instal Google Calendar from the Maket or any other calendar app and voila !
I like S planner but I had to stop using it because there is no way to activate an auto reminder setting. So if you forget to set it manual when you create your event, it won't be reminded to you in advance. I know Google Calendar and MIUI calendar have this option.
This issue was related in the following threads :

Hope this helped
There is a problem with your step 7.
If you hit "clear data" then all the settings for the app will be reset, which means the "untick all calendars" in step 3 and notifications setting in step 4...everything will be back to normal ...so its useless to do "clear data"..
Even if you do just force stop in step 7, and when you install google calendar the splanner will trigger and continue to run in background(and will import all the calendars again) but will not disturb you if you disabled the notifications in the app...So technically its still running in the background as google calendar....only thing is its not notifying you if you have disabled that setting.....

I saw go WhatsAppp-> Contacts-> I get a notification ' To help you message friends allow Whatsapp access to your contacts. Tap Settings-permission, and turn Contact On; so I press SETTINGS-> Permissions, it states 'no permission granted', press on Permissions -> give me options of Camera, Contact, Image, Microphone,Sms etc-> whichever I select let;s say Contacts, it gives me a notification ' Screen overlay detected, to change this permission setting you need to turn off the screen overlay settings.Apps-. It gives me the option to Open Settings, where I turn the Draw over the other apps OFF ( it does not show WhatsApp here any way) and then there is nth else to do.
I have turned the Draw over other settings On and OFF, restarted it but I just go in circles.
Anyone can help?

This is a known issue with marshmallow roms.
It occurs due to some filter apps such as cf lumen, twilight, and lately this has been happening for me with floatify.
So I would suggest to disable any such apps and try again.
Tried adding a custom notification to Gmail.
Went the usual way: Settings > Sounds > "Ringtone for messages designated as Default" > local ringtones
The list of available tones on the phone comes up, but when i choose the one I want it wont sound, will appear as "chosen" but wont ring when mail comes in.
Red the threads, turned notification into .ogg, put it in same directory where all the notifications are, set -rw-r-r, and rebooted. now it shows on the list, sound when i choose it yet when Gmail gets a new mail the system will use another notification from the default list.
Any ideas ?
Have a look at Settings> Notifications> Gmail.

See screenshot for where you should be. Then tap on Email and select the sound you want.

Thank you for swift response.
Checked my phone (BtW it's the Hebrew version for Israel) and i have the exact same options marked but the vibration option which i allowed on my phone.
But, when a mail comes in to Gmail the phone chooses a different notification (other then my custom one) and ignores my previous setting
