[Q] LauncherPro calendar widget with facebook events - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I'm having a really annoying problem on my TB. Basically facebook events do not get removed from the calendar/agenda when you change from 'attending' to 'not attending' This is particularly annoying to me because I am trying to get rid of a multiple day event (may 4 through june 11) and it clutters every single day of my calendar/agenda. If anyone knows of a way to remove facebook events from the LP calendar/widget please let me know.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue... All my Facebook birthdays are showing in my Launcher Pro Calendar widget... it's so annoying because I can't easily find my real events and it's confusing.
Tried disabling the facebook calnedar from the calendar app on the phone, and still no luck...
Let me know if you resolve this..
Thanks!'

try removing it from gmail > calendar, and unsubscribe, since the calendar gets it from your gmail calendar
hopefully that helps

Hero2.1 1.7 ROM - Linking Facebook Contacts

Okay so I'm using the 2.1 ROM, mainly for the use of bluetooth and I want to intergrate my facebook with my contacts to let me use their photos and birthday.
The problem is, when I sign in to Facebook via the contacts it intergrates ALL my facebook friends to my contacts! I end up with about 300 people in the list!
Are there any solutions to this, or is anyone else experiencing it?
Same problem. I did find a way to change it, but do not ask me what the chuffing heck I did to do that :S
i think the best way is to not sign in to facebook during the initial set up. once you are all set up, launch the facebook app that comes with 1.7, and select sync with existing contacts only.
seems to work ok.

Turn off built in calendar notification

Hi,
After installed Jorte on my X10 mini I receiving every calendar notification two times. Is it possible turn off notification from built in calendar?
Best wishes
ArekS
I don't get a notification from jorte, don't find the setting :-/
but I got several notifications from the default calender, every time again if the calendar and calendar.bridge app is closed by android duo memory reasons (and if the event is still running).
This ****s me up
anyone else with this software bug?

I get multiple reminders as well, and i don't know how to change it.. extremely annoying!
I don't have a clue how to go about fixing it either.
Did anyone find a fix for this?
I use all day events (like birthdays or anniversary) and that notification will not go away it keeps coming back each time the notification is cleared and I can't figure out the setting that makes it stop (other than deleting the event?)

same problem for me
Same here, had that problem on 1.6 and it hasn't gotten any better using 2.1
Drives me nuts.

Same here, plus the Sony Ericsson Calendar app sucks.
Why can't we have the default Google one? It's much better!
For viewing and adding events you should try TouchCalendar, it provides a great overview. Unfortunately editing and viewing details of events doesn't work on Mini Pros.

DO anyone of you guys know if Jorte update directly from google or from the SE calendar and will there be any problems if you remove the installed calendar.
"Unfortunately editing and viewing details of events doesn't work on Mini Pros."
This problem is solved in the new vision 0.9.11 But I get double notifications is there a way to solve this?

This thread explains how to remove the stock calendar, which would almost definitely solve your double notifications dilemma.. maybe a bit extreme though!

If you remove default calendar Jorte won´t be able to sync with Google.
I've been using my mini pro for a few weeks now and I too have noticed the weird behaviour with the calendar reminders (i am using Jorte too).
What's the correct procedure for dismissing a reminder? I don't really know if i've just been snoozing them.
I pull down the notification bar and tap on the reminder there and it opens the event in the standard calendar app; does this actually dismiss the reminder?

[Q] original calendar widget after ICS update

Hello,
I have an unbranded German S II. Since updating to Android 4.0.3 (through Samsung Kies), the standard calendar widget doesn't work like it used to anymore.
I synchronize with my Google account where I have multiple different calendars for different purposes (work, freetime, projects, etc.). On my phone I can go into the calendar app's configuration and tick the boxes of those calendars I want to have synchronized and shown. It used to work like that and I could make it so that only my work appointments would be shown on the calendar widget on my homescreen.
Now, after updating to ICS, the calendar widget will show all calendars at all times, rendering it less useful. No amount of fiddling with the properties has corrected this. After asking in two other forums, this is my last hope.
I really hope somebody here knows the problem and might be able to help. Or is this really just me? Thanks in advance!
I don't have a direct answer to your question, but if the stock calendar widget isn't behaving how you'd like it to, there's a Play Store brimming with alternatives. I'm sure at least one will function in the way you're hoping.
Yeah, I know. I don't need any fancy, skinnable, customizable calendar apps that fill the android market. I'd rather have the stock widget that just does what I want it to. Seeing as this worked fine before the update, I hoped there was something I could do. Alas, seems as if that is not the case. Thanks though
Hello, i have exactly the same problem. Did you find any solution ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
It's good to hear someone finally acknowledging the problem. I was starting to question my sanity as it seems that out of millions of owners of the SII only I have the problem. Finally someone else speaks up, thank you for that
Sadly, I have not found a solution since. I completely changed the way I organize my events in google calendar. It's not as well organized as it was before but it gets the job done. Still, I would prefer if the calendar worked like it did before...
If you don't want to redo your whole google calendar organization, I guess you could indeed try a third party calendar. The play store is full of calendar apps; I was overwhelmed, because I just want a simple and clean calendar, like the stock one.

When you select the widget, you should be prompted to select which calaendar to display. If it doesn't, check out this alternative widget. You can still use your default calendar, but use this widget instead of the stock:

[Q] Auto Default Reminder on S Planner while adding Event

I am using the S Planner and have recently upgraded to 4.1.1 Earlier on ICS when I used to enter the Add Event full settings (on the quick add event it never came though) anyway I used to add an event and the default 5 Mins Notification Reminder used to place itself in the Event on my Calendar.. However Since the upgrade I need to manually click on the + sign next to the reminder.. Why is this so? Is there a work around? I am using the local 'My Calendar' calendar in the S Planner.. I have synced it to my email calendar as well but I have almost no calendar entries on my email.. Just a few work related ones..
Is there anyway for it to automatically add a 5 mins before notification reminder on all the events I create in the local My Calendar in the S Planner? It is quite a pain as I seem to be missing calendar entries since I forgot to add the reminder manually..
Please Help me out! Thanks in Advance!
It is so sad to see nobody is bothered with this problem, because this guy's post is unanswered for almost a month. Is nobody using reminders? I just don't understand. Dumbest stupid failure of the new firmware which urges you to seek for calendar replacement app.
Ok enough emotions. I am also suffering from this. Searched here and there all over. Nobody cares. Nobody even seem to notice this perfect calendar upgrade.
Does it make sence to write to Samsung?

Posted this issue even earlier in another thread. Same no reaction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33900623&postcount=2112
Haha I gave up on the Stock rom and have since moved onto Cyanogen Mod 10.. I don't have NFC, WIFI Direct, Micro SD Card recognition, or any of the motion features from Samsung like Swipe to Capture a screenshot or Direct call from Contact/Message but I have 4.1.2 and a smoother phone and a slightly better battery life.. I am thinking of selling the S3 and buying the Nexus 4! Since the Jellybean upgrade was absolutely rubbish on the S3!
Why on earth this all is so so sad? Why do we need to deal with such shameful faults of the OS of one of the most expensive smartphones in 21st century. The level of this bug or problem reminds me of Windows 3.1 times...
Almost one month later and no solution to this. Such a simple thing to fix but a very annoying bug to deal with. I will be finding a different calendar.
actually I have been ask this question long time ago

use google calendar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5jYWxlbmRhciJd
I found a different solution to this! But it will only apply if you use your email address as your default calendar and don't use the local "My Calendar".. Go to your Calendar settings in your Web browser and activate the default reminder time to whatever you want.. Also ensure on your phone that your Calendar is set to Sync with your gmail account on which your calendar entries exist.. Automatically the default reminder time gets placed into your newly set calendar entry without you manually having to do so..
I read what I wrote and its probably a bit confusing but ill be glad to help anyone out if they haven't quite understood! Also sorry I couldn't explain better as I am in a bit of a rush now..
I tried this, but it didn't seem to make any difference on my phone. Any time I make an appointment on my phone it still defaults to no reminder.

Are you sure when you add an Event/Task it shows your gmail address? rather than "My Calendar"?
In addition to that.. You could also go into your settings in the S Planner and then the option Calendars and un-select "My Calendar" and all other calendars you are not using except the one synced with gmail..
Found a solution

Gmail account icons

Hey everyone,
I need some help. Since the Gmail app updated to the "Material Design" look, I've had an annoyance when trying to switch between my email accounts. In order to quickly switch, you can tap on the icon for the email address you wish to switch to. The problem is, two of my accounts are using the default Gmail silhouette, so I can't tell which one is which from the menu:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwgHw8RSjQikR0pfYWUyWXhxeFE/view?usp=sharing
For all three of my accounts, I have uploaded a profile picture via the general tab in Gmail settings in the browser. My personal Gmail shows my picture, no problem, but for some reason the other two don't come through. I'm not sure if it matters, but both are Google Apps for Work accounts . Also, I'm not sure if it has to do something with the sync settings, but I have them set up to sync email and app data.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
shingy
I've tried a couple other things and I still can't get it to work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Wanted to bump this to see if anyone had any suggestions. I've tried several things and I can't get it to work. It is really really annoying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
