How to receive email and calendar notifications on the htc one m8

The HTC One M8 from the Taiwanese company HTC is the most recent high-end model that this manufacturer has launched on the market this year. Its lock screen is very complete for the user, since it allows you to see -without the need to unlock the screen- a large part of the notifications that are received on the mobile. And that is precisely what this tutorial stars in, since below we will explain how to receive email and calendar notifications on the HTC One M8 lock screen.

This simple option is not activated as standard on the HTC One M8, so that the user only sees notifications related to missed calls and text messages on the lock screen. The following tutorial shows the steps we have to follow to take full advantage of all the possibilities of the lock screen of this terminal.

Getting email and calendar notifications on the HTC One M8 lock screen

1. First, we must go to the Settings application of our HTC One M8. This application can be found in the list of programs installed on our mobile, and it is generally an application that is represented with a gear icon.
2. When we open this application, a configuration window will appear. In this window we must look for an option under the name " Security ". Click on this option and then we will look for another option with the name of " Notification settings ". If we cannot see this option on the screen, we must know that it is listed first under the " Lock screen " section.
3. Now we will be viewing the settings related to the lock screen. As we can see, the last two options (Email and Calendar) appear deactivated, so that we will simply have to click on the square attached to these names to activate both options.

If we have followed all the steps correctly, from now on our HTC One M8 will show us on the lock screen notifications related to our email accounts and our calendar. Regarding email, from the lock screen we can see both the sender of the emails and a preview of the message. As for the calendar, the lock screen notifications will notify us of all the upcoming events that we have configured in the calendar.

The fact of being able to see both notifications directly from the lock screen saves us a lot of time since it prevents us from having to go around unlocking the screen every time we receive a mail or every time an important date is approaching on the calendar. And in the specific case of email, if we see that the email is important, we will simply have to unlock the screen and read the message in its entirety.
