Widget and Gmail Unread Count Application question.

[izzy35]

I downloaded the Gmail Unread Count application and I am a little confused. If I go into the "all programs" folder it is not listed. But, when on the home screen, if i click the "+" sign and "add widget" it's listed there. Is there a reason I can't see it unless I want to add it to my home page or is this a problem with my phone?

Also, is there a place to see a complete list of my WIDGETS being that they're not listed in the "all programs" list?

Lastly, I see alot of people post a white box picture with black stuff in it, as if to scan it somehow. What is this and why and how would I scan it??

I believe (do not have the phone yet) that widgets and programs are separated into two different categories. So you will not see programs in the widgets section and vice versa.

I am not sure what those boxes are called, but I call them lazy man's(or woman's) boxes. You use Google goggles to look at them, and I think they take you into the Android market to download an app without having to search for it.

Hope that helped.

I thought that also, but was wondering if there was a place to look up my list of widgets, as I can only find programs and applications.

Widgets should be in the "+" section under widgets, or at least that would be my guess.

There is also a program free off the market called gmail notifier. It let's u set the envelope in the notifications bar to different ones for different emails. And different sound for each one as well.
