Calendar notifications - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I can't find a way to add notification to calendar event I created with Google Calendar webapp.
I've used Google Calendar long before I git my Hero, so I've got here couple of calendars (personal, work, school, etc.) already. Hero imported them, no problem so far. But now, the wtf starts: if I try to edit existing event, there is no notification selection. I can edit name, place, time of event, but not notification time. But if I create the event on Hero, and not using the webapp, I can set notification.
So, how to set notifications of existing events?

when i click my webcalender a dialog pops up to generate a new entry. when i click the link "edit event details" the attached screen comes up, with the possibility to add a pop up reminder.
also check on the top right corner of your web calendar "sync", then "sync with android", there is an explanation of reminders.

Oh, so "pop-up notifications" does the trick. Thank you!

[Q] Quick toolbar when you click contact picture - help!

Hey everyone,
OK so you know if you use the "Buddies Now" widget, or click someone's picture in the contacts list? It displays that little quick toolbar to call, text, email, facebook etc.
If I click a contact on the "Buddies Now" widget, it displays their Facebook status, but if I click them in contact's list, it does not. I'm pretty sure it used to, but I can't figure out why it would have changed. All my contacts are correctly linked.
Can anybody confirm this behaviour? It would take only seconds of your time, thanks.

I have a "view profile" button at the bottom of the contact, but only because I added Facebook as an account to my dialer/contacts app.
Quickly do me a favour - find a contact that you have that "View profile" link with. Now click their picture at the top left. Does it show their status in the little pop-up menu?
not sure if this helps or not, but some contacts in my phone book if I click on the picture it gives me options such as text call email etc and some come up with a facebook icon which takes me direct to their page.
I dont see status updates and if I am honest I think I may have mine set up wrong somehow as well as some of my fb contacts have no pics at all and others have old pictures so it aint like up to date. Goodness knows why not like! :-(
Ref the buddies thing, sorry I dont have that app.

No. It gives me the popup menu to call/email/msg etc., and that has a facebook link on it as well.

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.

Where are voice reminders stored?

When setting new voice reminders in Google Now they are created but I can't find where they are stored? Not in Keep and not in GN. Any ideas?

Pull up Google Now and look at the left edge of the search bar. There are three horizontal lines that bring up a menu if you touch them. Reminders are in the menu list that pops out.
Actually, no. There are no reminders shown there.
Found them... Only shows up in the new Inbox app from Google. Weird...

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".

Gmail - cannot set custom sound?

I've noted in the Mate 10, but it's likely to be an Oreo thing, I can't seem to set a custom tone for new mail notification. In the Mate 9, it was under settings, my email address and inbox, sound and vibrate. That option is in Gmail under Oreo on the Mate 10 but the option to set a custom tone is missing...am I missing something?
No-one? Can anyone confirm what I'm seeing??
OK so I guess no-one uses Gmail?
Its changed in Oreo. Now there's a section in settings, after you click your email address called "Manage notifications". Tap on this. Then, under the section saying "Email Normal Allow these notifications to make sounds", which should be 'on', tap on this. You can set the sound in the next section.
Jeez. Not one guide on interwebs saying how to do this!
I use Gmail and cannot separate the tones from texting and gmail. I do not have the section saying "Email Normal Allow these notifications to make sounds". Anyone have a solution?
Dump the G-mail app (disable & clear data under "Apps") and install K-9 Mail. Everything's configurable (and I do mean everything!), works brilliantly, is lighter in weight than the G-mail app, and is completely free.
Here is how it is done...in the Oreo world...
Open Gmail > top left hamburger > settings > General settings > Manage notifications > Long press on the word "Mail" not the toggle itself but right on the word, and another secret, hidden, stupid, settings menu will open and it's in here where you can choose a separate tone for email as well as turn on the notification light for Gmail.
Thank you. Your solution worked well with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro in Gmail and Messanger
Couldnt find any solution to change the notification sound for twitter. Any help is welcome. I followed the same steps as mentioned above.

Sorry, don't get it. Can you make a screen dump of the location where to long press.
I need the option to select sound while editing the labels

It is exactly as I stated in my original directions...it could not be any clearer.
Once you tap on "Manage notifications" it will take you to the screen "App notifications" then you long press directly on the word MAIL which is directly under your email address.
You can also long press on the other "words" listed there for different notification settings. The words are to the left of the screen...the toggles are to the right.
Also, if you're looking to be able to set a different tone based on a label you created...I don't think that is possible.
FWIW, it Doesn't have to be a log press. just touch the mail part.
Mine says "Email" but great, it worked.

Thank you so much! I've had my Huawei P10 for almost a year and couldn't find where to add custom notification to Gmail. It's so frustrating when they do stupid ish like this because pretty much every other explanation says go to manage notification but not detailed enough to say click on title. I had the Huawei P6 and was impressed with Huawei enough to make it my go to brand but this ish frustrated me enough to consider another brand.
Well it just changes the default notification sound for me.
