Tasker composing email by Gmail apps as default - Tasker Tips & Tricks

HI ,
I'm fine creating profile when SMS came through tasker fire up "composing email" action.
How I can also set tasker to always use Gmail android apps as default ?
Problem is that , I assigned chain of "input tab" command to "click on screen on Gmail apps" but tasker pops-up email client ( apps ) to me they some time are in different position on the screen. The Gmail apps not always on the same position I assigned the input tab.
Thank you very much.

Background calendar

I have tried the "background calendar" app from the Market, but it isn't good as I think; first, the notes will interfere with the clock widget, second it take the data from my remote gmail account instead from local calendar (so if I cannot connect, it will not work or I cannot update it) and third (but this maybe a my inability) the background of the application isn't the one what I chose... So I ask: there is a calendar application that works like the symbian or WM one and display the appointment and the other reminder notes correctly in the background without interfere with the other object on the home screen?
Thank you for any answer

You will see this once they release the SDK for Widgets

[Q] S2U2 Slide to View Email Inbox

I've did a search, but can't seem to find my answer.
I have an exchange email and hotmail setup, running 6.1 without touchflow/sense (it's more fluid and stable on the x1 IMO). I have S2U2 lock screen because it ties in nicely with S2P.
So my question is, when I enable email notification on S2U2, and I "slide to view" the email, I wanted it to open up the specific email inbox and not the email itself. Is that possible?
I've done some parameter research for tmail.exe which might do the job, but I don't think it will do what I wanted to:
tmail.exe
-service "email"
Since that parameter does not actually specify the inbox location, would it work?
Anyone able to help me out?

[Q] Problem with Manual Refresh on Calendar Sync on Froyo

A temporary solution will be presented at the end of this post.
PDA: I9000 XXJPO
PHONE: I9000 XXJPP
CSC: I9000 OXAJPO
I have two seemingly identical Factory unlocked UK-bought SIM-free models, both on official Froyo through Kies, flashed with Speedmod 341 Kernel with No-RTF Advanced lagfix applied through Kernel's in-build Sztupy's Universal Fix. Both rooted through ChainFire's tool.
If Automatic Syncing is NOT activated (saves battery and helps control traffic), then after updating the Calendar events on Samsung these updates DO NOT appear on web Google Calendar. If Automatic Syncing is ON - ALL IS FINE ON BOTH PHONES.
This needs further clarification, as two phones behave differently.
Problem No. 1: When Calendar is open and events edited WHEN BOTTOM LEFT SENSOR BUTTON PRESSED:
A. First phone gets 6 choices to choose from (Search, Create, Go to, Today, Delete, Settings).
B. Second phone gets 7 choices (Search, Create, Go to, Today, Delete, and MORE, which when pressed OPENS Choices: Settings and REFRESH).
FIRST REQUEST: Help on how to get REFRESH button among the choices on the First phone would be greatly appreciated.
Problem No. 2: When REFRESH button is pressed, nothing happens (it behaves as if something does happen, but it does not), i.e. the CALENDAR DOES NOT SYNC. Same thing happens with Calendar Widget - when Sync symbol is pressed it does not actually Sync. When similar refresh button is pressed for E-mails, they DO sync. If you follow the path of Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Choose your account from Manage Accounts -> Sync Calendar, the CALENDAR DOES SYNC.
SECOND REQUEST: Help on how to force Sync from the Calendar REFRESH button in the same manner as the "Sync Calendar" from the path above does.
On each of the phones I have more than one GMail account Synced. The one that has "Refresh" opiton has the GMail account listed at the top of the list, the one that does not - lists the Gmail account with the calendar as second in the list (not sure if that makes a difference for the , have not tested it). Also, the calendars from the two accounts on different phones are Shared (but that works ok after a bit of finetuning and tweaking).
Ideas: Clearly, the REFRESH button is not performing the same as "Sync Calendar", so the first idea was to make it do just that. However, I am not clever enough to do that (as well as not clever enough to figure out how to make the REFRESH button appear on the other phone). My first idea was to create some kind of a macro and assign it to the button. I found that "Tasker" may be able to create a macro-type sequence, however, since it is a paid app, it does not even appear on my Market choices. And even if it did, I would not have a clue as to how to assign it to that specific particular REFRESH button. Or, for that matter, how to get the REFESH button appear on the 1st phone. (See request 1).
WORKAROUND:
The only solution I have found so far is beta free app on Market called Synker. It appears as a Widget on Home Screen and allows to force sync all apps that need syncing. And it automatically picks up some of the common android apps and allows you to configure what you want syncing (e.g. contacts, e-mail, calendar etc.). That has good and not so good side effect due to one and the same reason: it syncs everything thet you've pre-set in a configuration. So, when you are checking your e-mails and updating calendar, you press Synker button before you start (to get them all updated to your phone), respond to e-mails, edit appointments etc, and press Synker button after, to get those e-mails sent from your phone and get the Calendar updated on the web. That is excellent. However, if you just looked at your Calendar to make a couple of changes, you do not want Synker to go through all of your 5 e-mail accounts, Facebook and Calendar to do the job.
Yes, it is possible to configure Synker to just update Calendar entries (which, really, should be done through Calendar's native Refresh button), but then you are deprived of the excellent functionality of this app to update all at once. And, for some reason, it is not possible to put two same Widgets with different settings, as practice shows. So, for now, for me it's the less efficient syncing of everything through Synker on any update, but, hopefully, with a little help from you, the Calendar's REFRESH button can be 1. forced to appear and 2. be fixed!
As the developer of Synker, I just wanted to note… Synker should allow for multiple widgets with different accounts/setting. I double checked this on an EVO and a Galaxy Tab after reading your post… If this isn’t working for you send me an email so we can look into it…
Thank you for the reply (and for the app!) : just re-checked, it DOES work! It is a good workaround and a great app in its own merit, which I would use for general syncing even if the problem described was fixed.

[Q] I want to remove email address with typo?

I made a typo when addressing an email and that "bad" address keeps popping up when I start a new email. Ho can I remove it? I tried long pressing and hoping for a "delete" button but no luck there.
More info in case that isn't enough of a description: I am running CM7. It happens on all three of my email accounts. I begin to type a new email address in the "To:" line and the address with the typo pops up as a choice along with other "good" addresses.
TIA for any assistance.
Contacts > [specific_name) > menu button > edit > enter correct email address > save
Thanks for trying to help, neidlinger but I do not have any contacts (I know that sounds odd but I don't use my Nook for email very much. I use my phone and desktop (both Windows)
Any other ideas?
How about delete account and re enter?
I have three email accounts on the Nook and when I start a new email in any one of them, the email address with the typo pops up with the "good" email address (I hit a k by mistake after .com one time and the Nook remembers it). I have no names or email addresses in the default contacts app (haven't put any in yet). Does anyone know where the "auto fill" emails are stored on the Nook?
thanks for trying to help, life64x
Sounds like a user dictionary issue. You can find it in settings.
I don't have my nook at the moment, lent it to my other half for the weekend and didn't get it back yet. Muck around in the settings menus until you find it, or someone else comes in to tell you exactly how to get to it.
Sorry I can't be more precise then that.
Thanks for your suggestoin, Blue6IX. I went through the Settings and found "User dictionary" under "Language & Keyboard Settings" but no luck: it says "you do not have any words in the user dictionary".
Any other ideas?
I found an answer after googling various terms. Even though I did not have any contacts on my Nook (nor in my google gmail account). I did have the setting "Sync Gmail" checked in "Accounts & Sync Settings". When I went to my gmail account on my desktop I saw the typo listed not in "My Contacts" but under "Call Phone". I deleted that entry by clicking on "More" then "Contact Details" then "More actions" then "Delete". I synced my Nook (the typo was removed at that point).
Maybe this will help someone else (?)

Default mail app not being used

Hello,
I have gmail set as my default email app. However, when notifications arrive, when I open emails, create emails or share and select to email the built in mail app starts and not gmail. Gmail opens fine by itself.
I've tried unselecting then selecting gmail in the default apps section, but it does nothing.
Any ideas?
