[Q] Email Shortcut on Home Screen - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I have my rooted Atrix running Launcher Pro - working just great. However, I'm trying to add a Shortcut to one of my Email accounts to the Home Screen - which I have done 100 times before with other Android devices....you click on Add Shortcut, select Email - and then it asks you which account you want the shortcut to go to - and you select it. Easy - BUT - it isn't working form me on the Atrix....even after a reboot post-adding the new email accounts. For the life of me - I can't seem to get this to work. When I go to Add Shortcut and select Applications, and then select "Email" - it goes to my Default account - and won't let me change it.
WTF? It's earliy on a Sunday morning and maybe my coffee hasn't kicked-in yet...granted...but what am I missing here? This is driving me batty!
Please help - thanks!

As far as i know this is how it works on all moto phones. There are 3 email shortcuts:
1. Default account
2. Messaging -> folder with all accounts
3. Gmail - Gmail push app
Maybe there is a 3rd party app, but I have not heard of one.

[Q] ICS Email (combined view) shortcut

I have two email accounts that I receive push notifications for (hotmail, gmail).
When I open my email shortcut that I placed on my home screen, it defaults to the gmail account. Is there any way to make a shortcut that goes directly to the combined view (to show mail from both accounts in the same view)? I find it slightly annoying to have to switch back and forth to view my unread emails.
BTW: I'm running Xtreme's Senseless ICS ROM
Thanks

It shouldn't be that hard to figure out but it is. Why is there no clear cut way to show the combined inbox? Luckily another thread explained it...You have to create a widget and the widget can be selected to show the combined view, this will give you consistent combined view when you click on it. I just upgraded to CyanogenMod 4.2.2 Jellybean and it has the same deficiency. You'd think that there would be an option somewhere. Find a Google developer to fix this please.

Top Contacts Widget

Hello guys, is it possible to make Sony top contacts widget show only the people in my favorite group. The description of the program say its possible but i can't find such option anywhere . I don't want it to show my recent + my favorites .
you should log in online example using your facebook account to log in, once log in it will take a minute or two to load your recent contacts, then you can manage it, just uncheck the contacts you dont want to load on widget.
just click the settings button on top contact widget then click the contact, there you can set now which contact you want to reflect on your widget.

Honor 7 calendar synchronization only 1 way

I have syncrhronized Honor 7 calendar with my laptop's (ASUS K93S, Windows 10) Google calendar. It works fine from laptop to Honor, but when I add something to Honor calendar, it will not appear in laptop's calendar. How to fix that?
When you add a new event to the calendar, you should see a button at the bottom of the page saying "More" (it might be hidden under your keyboard) - Tap that and there's a bit that says Account - tap that, and you can then choose which calendar to add the event to. By default it's the phone - select your Google account, and it should then sync the other way.

That is near
Unhappily the "Account" does not open by clicking. It seems to be thus fixed to "Phone".

Question Notifications in calendar based on location

Hey guys.
Ist there a way to activate notifications (google calendar reminders) based on location ?
Let's say I wanna make sure I lock my car, when I get close to home or my office I'll get a notification "close car"...
Only thing I see on Google is to use Google keep, but since I wanna do this with daily tasks google calendars task or reminders are ideal...
Would love not to use a third party app

Use Routines and Modes....in Settings.
Go to Settings.
Goto Modes and Routines.
Tap the + icon.
Tap the + under if.
Tap Place.
Choose either Arrive....or leave.
Choose your location.
Save.
Then the + under Then.
Tap Notifications.
Tap show Custom notification.
Give the notification a title.
Write whatever you wish.
You can even have it read this notification out.
Modes and Routines is very good...and you can use it to do almost anything on your phone.
It will open calender...but my instructions were to give you a notification on reaching your home location....because that would be better than opening a calender for that purpose.
