I have a work calendar in Google Apps here at work which I share with my Nexus 1 and my Dell Streak 7. It won't allow me to share any details, only free/busy, so on the Android devices I see free or busy for the timeframe. No problem. At least I know something is going on and can check in on GApps to see the details if it's an event I don't recognize.
Now I've recently started noticing that events which are deleted REMAIN on my calendar as free. I've recently changed job positions and a lot of my previously recurring meetings are off my calendar now, but they still show up as Free on my phone. Gah.
Daily view.. I have NO actual meetings today OR tomorrow except for the one personal event. I have two, 9:30 and 11, that are from deleted recurring meetings. And a second at 11 I created a few minutes ago testing to see if it showed up, and sure enough it showed as busy while it was valid, then continues to show up as "free" after.

My weekly calendar. Sorry you can't see much, but all but 2 of the dark blue squares are "invalid" free entries... I tried to take a screenshot on my tablet to make it more obvious how many of these stupid things are in my calendar now, but I just kept getting black screenshots and don't have the SDK here at work.
Anyone know how to fix this? I don't see it from my personal calendar on GMail, I don't see this "free" data showing up, although it could be hiding it, not sure how else to figure out if this is specifically an Android issue or something?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Aha, on a hunch I tried to clear Calendar Storage and all of the old events that were showing as "free" are gone! Interestingly the one I created today as a test is still showing up.
So this tells me it's definitely something Android was doing... but can't imagine why.
Maybe someone else has a better solution, but this is a decent workaround if you have a lot of recurring "Free" entries showing up. Disable Calendar Sync in Settings->Accounts->Your Google Account, then go to Settings->Applications->All and find Calendar, Force Kill, then Calendar Storage, Force Kill, and Clear Data inside of Calendar Storage. Then go back to Accounts and re-enable Calendar syncing. It'll take a few minutes to finish, then your calendar should be fresh.
FYI I don't know if this has any other affects, but AFAIK since it's all cloud based, this should not lose any data. Not sure about maintaining old entries or non-AOSP ROMs, such as Sense ROMs which might do weird combos of local/Google calendar events.

Didn't know if this was the best place to put this or not, but I'm looking for an app that will allow me to enter my Facebook and Twitter status without having to open up a full program, just by typing it all in the today screen field. Think Skyfire's "Update My Status" function but on the today screen like how the optional search bar field works.
I have a 2nd today screen on my Rhodium that I use to manage a few apps that aren't TF3D friendly, and have room for a few short lines for me to type my status into Facebook and Twitter while on the go. I like how Skyfire has the options to globally change status on both FB and Twit at the same time, so if you know of something that will do that, please point me in the right direction! I've heard about the Twitter tab for TF3D, but would rather update status through FB instead of through Twit because of the 140 character limits.
All help on this subject, including how you currently update your status quickly without having to load Skyfire or enter in a mobile browswer or through texts, would be greatly appreciated!
here is a solution for twitter : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/06/16/twittoday-15-post-twitter-tweets-from-windows-mobile-today-screen.html.. If u find a solution for Facebook ..let me know

that is PERFECT for Twitter, wow, exactly what I was looking for.... and like you said, now to find one that does Facebook as well! I've seen people link their FB and Twit status, is that something to look into and just use this for quick, 140 character updates?
EDIT - that only works for those who don't have "protected" Twitter accounts.... oh well!
http://www.ajvaynerchuk.com/how-to-link-twitter-to-facebook-a-twitter-tutorial/
BINGO! I knew if I kept searching I would eventually find it....
http://blog.steffanantonas.com/hack...tter-and-still-keep-your-tweets-protected.htm
Just used TwitToday and updated my status on Facebook, even though my tweets are protected on Twitter! Nice.........
Okay, in case anyone is wondering why Facebook SUCKS at updating Twitter status....... get rid of it altogether and use Yakket:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=48449043052
Worked on the first try and my Twitter status is protected. Doesn't take 30mins to an hour to update like the stupid Twitter app on Facebook does, and even Tweeter didn't work for me. Was so tired of having to wait for status updates that are time-sensitive to post on FB using Twitter, and this works!!! Thought I'd pass on the good news!
CycHowdy Messenger
You can try the CycHowdy Messenger that I just posted...
great
Those are great tools but I would like to see an app that actually provide me some updates as well. Something like Android does with facebook.
Is there any application like this ?
I was wondering if samsung wiz would allow something like that...
Firstly I have a HTC one S, stock, not rooted.
I have disabled everything twitter related, however, in better battery stats, the process "tpd" is still showing and using a fair bit of my battery, does anyone know what is going on and how to truly disable twitter?

I have snowstorm and sense weather syncing every few hours and gmail push as usual, I haven't got anything else syncing.
Disabled most of sense apps apart from gallery, dialer/people, messaging, weather and a few other things.
I don't know for sure but I would guess you haven't disabled Twitter completely. There's got to be some app that's still running in the background. You need to root your phone and start uninstalling things.
Thanks for the reply
Everything that I can see related to twitter is disabled.
- twitter
- twitter for HTC sense
- TwitterAPIEngine
Is there anything else I should be looking for?
I have also disabled all the sense friends stream stuff.
Really don't want to root my phone just yet.
Try downloading Watchdog Lite from the Play Store. This app shows you which apps are using the most CPU cycles (and therefore consuming the most power). This could maybe allow you to identify which app this "tpd" process is associated with. (Having said that, BetterBatteryStats does usually show the app name as well as the process name, as you can see in the other entries in your screenshot, so if BBS couldn't identify it, Watchdog might not either. But the Lite version is of course free, so you may as well try it)
Ok thanks for the suggestion, will give that a shot and see
Just got a reply from someone else there regarding this and this is what he said:
It looks like tdp is just a system process betterbatterystats hasn't recognised, like surfaceflinger but added by HTC or just a new ICS process. (the PID is 0?)
If you look under Settings>Power>Battery use>Android System>included packages it can be one of those.
All the twitter related stuff will start off as something like com.htc.engine.twitter or com.twitter.Android in betterbatterystats. TDP is also a 3rd party twitter app last updated in 2010, that's probably where the twitter link came from?

And I just checked there and this is what comes under "android system":
As well as system UI being listed there.
I will email the developer of better battery stats to see what the "tpd" process is.
Hey guys, I wanted to post a question for everyone an see others thoughts on what I think may be a potential bug I've come across in hangouts.
Ive been having issues with the "mediaserver" eating away at the battery and ive been trying to figure out what is causing it since we had not had this issue before.
From what I've found, one issue with the mediaserver is if it comes across a broken file (image or picture) it hangs and this is what causes our problems.
Well I noticed that the battery has gotten worse over the course of the last few weeks and couldn't figure it out.
Come to see, hangouts cached images that transfer back an forth in the chats. Well I, along with a bunch of other people have those broken images in those folders.
So...there isnt any way as of yet to disable these images from being cached yet. Does anyone have any thoughts on how the images are called to be saved? Im not sure where to start. Given a direction I can edit code an fix it.
Anyone who has noticed a decrease in battery ever since the update let me know if you too also have these broken images in your gallery folder.

ok well i have found a temporary work around for this situation as it was driving me nuts.
One of the new additions for hangouts is the ability to send pictures via hangouts. Well this also changed how things worked as the pictures are stored as they are sent in Picasa Web Albums.
This all creates a potential issue with Mediaserver as it scans your phone and sd card in a mannor similar to the disk indexing service on a Windows PC.
If things go wrong, and they always will in poor data environments...the image corrupts and Mediaserver hangs in a endless loop.
So to work around this to the following:
Go to settings/accounts
Google
uncheck "Sync Picasa Web Albums"
go to apps management/ all apps
Clear data on the Gallery
After your done reopen the Gallery application. This may take a few minutes as your phone rebuilds the thumbnails and list.
I did not record and data that fully supports this, so dont ask for it. What i did see is that when i did this earlier today the mediaserver finally stopped and lowered down the list as battery hogs.
I hope this helps anyone thats noticed battery issues after using hangouts.
Hey guys,
For 2 weeks already, I have a problem with the Google Search Bar widget on my S9+.
Before:
Whenever I've clicked on the search bar, a news feed with my interests would have been shown
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now:
Whenever I'm clicking the search bar, a search history is opening and at the bottom I have a "blue house" logo. If I click on that house, it will take me to the news feed I'm asking for.
The problem is that, showing the news is no longer direct and now has 0 commodity. Whenever I want to check Google News I need to press the search bar, then the blue house etc...
Is there a way to roll back to how it was before? Anyone having my issue?
What I've tried so far:
1. Clear Google Now Cache
2. Clear Google Now Data
3. Disable/Enable Google Now
4. Re-install the app/updates
5. Remove/Re-add the widget
6. Looking through Google Settings, noting found.
Please help me out, I will appreciate.
Hi Rasherr, I have the same issue. It seems that Google decides to hide more and more useful features of Google now behind menus or buttons making it harder to reach them. This makes no sense.
I get the feeling that Google either:
1) wants to hide the amount of information gathered due to recent privacy schandals (Facebook)
or
2) wants to move all the useful Google now features to Google assistant and is preparing for phasing out and eventually removing Google now.
Just my 2 cents
This worked for me....
The same problem was driving me insane! As lazy as it sounds I don't want to have to keep typing out the same search!! So here's what I did that fixed the problem for me.... in the Google app under accounts and privacy, go to manage activity I think it was (I had to dig around a bit and play with search settings too, but the final result was "do not use private results" was checked. Once I checked use private results instead I went back into the app and it's working just like it used to! I hope this helps sorry I couldn't give more detail!
Hey do you have any more details on how you did this? I looked around manage activity and could only find 'do not use private results' on my pc and I was already set to use private results. No idea where it is in the app... Do you have any more info?
New to me V30 and Gmail shows only last 30 days of messages.
Any messages show up only on laptop or desktop. Nothing from March 2019 show on phone.
Have checked Settings, Accounts, Google and Sync -- there is no date limit on any of these settings. Have also checked Settings from Desktop logon to Gmail and there is no apparent location or setting that allows or restricts "days to show" -- or I am not seeing the setting.
Where may I adjust it to unlimited or at least 90 days ?

It's a simple app setting.
Has nothing to do with V30, but the Android Gmail app. Default is 30 days, but you can set for more if you wish. There's also app settings for auto downloading attachments, etc.

In the Gmail app settings, click on your email address. Retention period is customized per account. Some people have more than one Gmail account.
You can also go to gmail.com on your phone web browser if you want to see your computer view.
Have only 1 email account and it is gmail
When I click on Accounts and select my gmail account, a long list of permissions to various parts show up, calendar, sync etc but nothing that has a days to send./sync value
Holding down the area with email does nothing and Sync button by itself has no function other that sync now
Still elusive -- if step by step can be posted, would help a lot.
Also tried on laptop, logged on in normal desktop mode and Settings does not have an area to set anything with value in days -- in fact, it shows All mail in Inbox from years ago to present day
