Official thread of Android 2.0 discussions

Does anyone know how to drop custom notifications in the system files of the 2.0 OS? I would like to be about to customize my notifications. I can get to the system files with gphone all in one but I can't copy anything to them. Anyone have any tips for this.

Thanks!

1) I have just come from Windows mobile with Outlook 7 for email. Now in order to sync our email, you have to go through Gmail. How do I attach my signature when sending an email from my Droid?

2) How do I keep my emails from disappearing from outlook?

3) How do I get my computer to recognize my Droid once it's plugged in via my usb?

4) How do I put files onto the sd card from my computer, I swapped a 1 meg card so as to get some photos but I can't get my computer to read the card in my reader.

This is just for starters.

I like the Droid but if I can't effectively sync with my email and outlook then I can't seem to be able to justify keeping it as my business is most important.

Any help would be appreciated.

1&2 Can you give some more info please. With the droid you have the option for Corporate email and id imagine you can setup your exisiting email address. You shpuld have the option (provided your email supports this feature) for POP and IMAP. IMAP is preferred typically because what ever you do on your phone happens on the serve i.e., delete from phone means you delete from email entirely. But POP just sends messages to your phone and if you delete on the phone you just delete on the phone. This may be your preferred method if you are having problems with email being lost from Phone to Outlook

3/4 - Just plug your phone in and it should give you a notification about plugging in the USB on the phone. Slide down the notification bar and select Mount. Your phone will then mount as a new Drive on your computer

I'm not sure if it's the same issue that knash is getting, but I've had a similar problem just with gmail. I sent out an email before leaving home, and got some replies on the way to work. The emails showed up fine on the phone but they weren't in my Inbox when I got to work. I had to go to the sent items folder in gmail to find the thread. I also have Apple Mail syncing with my gmail accounts and the replies did not show up there. Getting emails on the phone is great, but I don't like that reading them on the phone before web or mail makes the web or mail interface completely ignore it. I haven't yet found any options to make it perform differently (I just got it yesterday)
