[Q] Calendar Question (synergy vs th3oryrom) - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I finally flashed a few ROMs today and liking how it is going (exchange works!). I like the way the calendar displays on Synergy (shows the daily appointments without me having to press anything) - whereas the latest Th3oryrom shows me a 30 day calendar and i have to press the day to show the appointments (agenda view).
Is there a way to show the agenda view first? I'd like to keep trying a few more ROMs, but i really like the way Synergy shows it.
Thanks in advance!

Do a long press on screen, add widget, add calendar, use calendar 2/3 it will show you daily appointments. I am using Cl3anTh3ory

Open calendar, hit menu, more, settings, calendar view settings, start in, and pick agenda. In cl3an or nons3nc3

Thank you for such quick replies. Some issues with both responses though.

I do this, but it doesn't show anything different (using the HTC calendar). It was already set this way - one click on the calendar heading and it goes to agenda view. I just want agenda view to be on the main screen - not the 30 day view.

Calendar, menu, more, calendars make sure exchange is checked if you want an exchange calendar to sync.
Also check the colanders syncing in your accounts.

I use HTC and it syncs with my Google. Use calendar 2/3 for your whole day by day agenda. Make sure to select it as widget.

I follow these instructions to the letter, but I can't get it to show the agenda view as the main widget screen. I appreciate the effort, but maybe my phone is messed or it can't be done the way i want it. I can provide screen caps if needed I suppose, but i'd have to reflash synergy just to get it. Thanks again!

Maybe i went about this the wrong way.... is there a "calendar 2/3" widget that is supposed be showing up in my widget options (not that i see one there)?

Calendar app that does it all!

Trying "Business Calendar Beta & it doesn't do what I need. Specifically, it will not let me edit a single entry of a recurring event, nor can I move the same.
The calendar that has "10" on the icon has an artifact at the top of every screen. It looks like a text box, but does nothing except get in the way.
Jorte is limited, but looks OK & does most things, but will not color in the day of the event.
What I need:
Ability to add recurring events.
Ability to edit or move individual recurring events.
Highlight a day that has an event. (Color choice)
Be nice if event title had a history to choose from.
Most of these features are standard in Outlook Calendar, so I would hope they are not too much to ask for.
Anyone have other calendars for me to try?
Thanks,

Can you confirm that the Gmail calendar does everything you need it to do, and then just grab a Widget to give you a better view of the calendar?

I am currently trying Jorte for the calendar that displays on the desktop & when I select it, it uses Google Calendar. Took me a bit to understand what was happening, but I think I have something I can use.
Thanks.

Jorte was going to be my suggestion as well. Best calendar app I've found so far.
My vote goes to jorte

I personally REALLY like Touch Calendar. Boost up the zoom level and the font size and it looks great on the Nook Color. However, it's basically just a really nice overview, it still uses the built-in calendar app to add, edit, view the specific event etc..
2 thumbs up for Jorte also!
I'm not having any luck getting Jorte to sync with my Google Calendar. I've checked and re-checked the settings which seemed to be defined correctly but it won't sync. If I manually select an import from Google it shows "import complete" immediately but the data doesn't populate. Is anyone else using this successfully?

Is this specific to Jorte? Have you tried the stock calendar?

Well no, now that I look at it the regular calendar isn't syncing either. Not sure what broke that but I've spent the past 45 mins or so trying to figure it out without any luck. I'll look at it again a bit later.

You need to re-sync your calendar. I had the same problem. Trying to find the exact fix right now. Sit tight.
Sorry for the wait. I'm at work and got called away to deal with something.
Here you go. Credit where credit is due; give doc the props.
Now, I do have a question of my own about Jorte. I find the text quite blurry, at least on the 2x4 weekly calendar. I see that you can replace it with a font of your choosing. Will this fix the fuzzy text, or is that a symptom of it being used to a smaller screen? If that wont fix it, does anyone know of something that will?
Secondly, (and this is not very important) is there a way to add "padding" to the edge of the widget? I want it to reside in the top left of my screen, but it clings directly to the side of my screen if I do this with 0 pixles between the edge of the calendar and the edge of the screen. It's no big deal but I'd prefer a bit of padding to keep it consistent with the rest of my screen's layout. Can I force it to move to the center of the widget space somehow, instead of being left justified? I can post a screencap if I am being unclear.
Are you re-adding your gmail account in the gmail app? I get a pop-up:"Sync for this item is currently disabled. To change your preference, temporarily turn on background data and automatic sync" when I try and add my account again.
Also, I set the widget and line transparency to "not transparent" in the Jorte 5x5 widget, and the font size to "Large", and that cleaned up most of the fuzziness.

Too bad.

[Q] Facebook/Calendar

My calendar has all my facebook friend's birthdays. I cannot get ride of them. I've already tried not-syncing facebook at all (regular and fb for sense). I also cannot find any option in the calendar app to not display certain calendars. Any ideas?

If you open the actual calendar app (touch the arrow in the upper right corner of the widget), the header has a pull down arrow after is says "All calendars". If you touch this, it will pull down a list of calendars syncing. You can enable/disable selectively from here.
I had a problem with this initially, as well, since this used to be accessed from the menu/settings.
Oh wow. I'd have never found that. Thanks.

Calendar Widget since update.

Anyone else have an issue with the HTC Calendar Widget since T-Mobile's latest update for the Amaze?
Previously it used to show me events for things like my friends birthdays using the information from Facebook. Noticed today that it wasn't showing my my friend's birthday. Seems like it just no longer displays that information. Just me or everyone have this issue now with HTC's Calendar Widget?
I've even removed it from the Home screen, and re-added it. During the re-add I confirmed that Facebook was checked/selected still as one of the sources it should get data from.

Mine is displaying just fine.
Are you talking about calendar 1, 2 or 3?
I am using 1.
HTC Calendar Widget version 3.0.2118282653.140764
HTC Calendar version 3.02120283257.184156
View Mode 3/3 (small bar).
Set on first Home screen under the Clock/Weather Widget.
I've force stopped both of the above apps and done a clear data with no luck.
If I go to 'Settings|Account and Sync|Facebook' and then click 'Sync Calendar' to try and force it to Sync it ends up with a Red Exclamation Mark and the text "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Same appears for 'Live Feed'.
The dates for both the last Calendar Sync and Last Live Feed sync to Facebook show as Mon, Dec 12 2:07PM which is a bit before the phone got upgraded to 1.43.531.3 from T-Mobile over the air.
I've also tried rebooting the phone and have even pulled the battery.
EDIT: Solution Found.
Found this via some posts on the net related to syncing Facebook contacts but appears to have worked for calendar as well.
1). from a PC, Logon to Facebook, hit dropdown on right of screen and select 'Account Settings'
2). Click Apps, then remove permissions for HTC Sense
3). On the Phone, Go to 'Settings|Applications|Manage Applications|All'
4). Find "Facebook for HTC Sense" and click it.
5). Force Stop, then Clear Cache if available, then Clear Data
6). Hold Power on the phone and select "Restart"
7). When the phone boots back up you'll have to authorize Facebook for HTC Sense again and then it will work.
Everything is good now. Calendar, Live Feed, and Contacts are all syncing now (before only Contacts were syncing).
Coming from Runnymede AIO V6 on my Desire and really liked the stock HTC Weather Clock Widget in 4x1. Does anyone know how to port just that widget to say, NRG's 2.27.12 ROM? Attached are screenshots of the widget and the details for it if that helps.
Cheers.

Figured out it is a Sense 3.5 option. Switched ROM's to Xboarder's Sense 3.5 RC1.7 and it is in there.

[Q] [VIEW] HC & HTC Calendar - Add more calendars

How do you add more calendars to the HTC Calendar app? I see on the upper left hand corner where you can select different calendars to display but it is only showing 3 our of 6 Google calendars. All of which worked fine on gingerbread.
I'm pretty sure it automatically adds them based on your google account. Do you have more than one google account? I have 5 calendars and they all appear fine.
Just one Google account with 6 calendars. 4 of which i would like to have on device, but only 3 are showing, and only 2 of the 3 are ones i would like to have on there.
When you hit calendar on the upper left, all of your calendars automatically showed up there then?
I know on my evo, I would have to go into a menu and enable them for syncing, but I do not see anything similar to that on HC.

This is an HC bug. I have 3 calendars, only 1 of which shows up on the initial sync.
I had to repeatedly delete calendar data and syncing in various manners until it worked.
Try clearing "calendar storage" data, turning on auto-sync, and check and uncheck calendar sync several times (letting it finish the spin wheel each time)

Hmm, no change...
you need to make sure the calendars are active in Calendar Settings (on the web, selected with "show in list") before you can access them on your phone...i think
Had same problem. Seems like an HC issue cuz it was fine on GB. No idea why thou. Just use a different calender app besides stock/sense, especiallyif you are using a diff launcher.

Why do some of my Google calendar events show in my calendar & some don't?

This is quite frustrating and I can't seem to find a solution to this. I have birthdays and anniversaries entered for my contacts which are sync'd to my phone as well. Most of the birthdays and anniversaries show up in my calendar on my phone but some don't. Doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to it either. I noticed that on my HTC Evo LTE I can go to Calendar and specify which calendars it displays. Inside here there is the 'Contacts birthday's & Events' like what I have displayed on my Google Calendar on my PC and the color is yellow. The interesting part is that there is another calendar option called 'People' that is green and I think is an HTC Sense thing but am not 100% on this. The interesting part is that if I choose to display this all of my contact's dates are displayed in duplicate but some extra ones also display.. the ones that don't display on my yellow calendar. One might think the simple solution would be to uncheck the yellow one and check the green one and be done with it but there are also dates that show up on the yellow calendar that don't show up on the green one. The weird part is they BOTH take info from the same source so I don't understand this difference. I went through my contacts making sure they were all added to my 'Friends' group as I think this may have something to do with what events show and what not but it doesn't seem to help.
What gives? What am I doing wrong or what options should I be looking for to correct this? I've already missed a couple anniversaries and b-days a result and it's frustrating because when I realize I missed it I go to my contacts and there it is listed within the contact info but it never displayed in the calendar for some reason.
Someone who knows the calendars please help me out with this problem.
Anyone?
If anyone else has this issue I was able to uncheck the calendars that were currently selected, back out to let it refresh and then go back in and check them once again to get it to work. I'll keep my eye on it and see if it stays fixed but after backing back out the second time there were birthdays there that weren't prior to this little dance. If you're having this issue try giving that a shot.

Works for me, thanks!
Thanks for this thread! I can't believe 2 years later this problem is still occurring with Android (I'm on 4.4.2).
I experience this problem anytime I add a contact's birthday (or another date) to my contacts. In order for it to show up on my calendar, I need to select "Calendars to sync" in calendar settings, then uncheck "Contacts' birthdays & events", back out to the calendar, then go back into "Calendars to sync" and re-select "Contacts' birthdays & events". Once I back out to the calendar again it refreshes within a few seconds and the new date(s)/event(s) finally appear on the calendar.
Just performing those steps in the "Calendars to display" menu doesn't work.
