Saving Event info for later use in calender? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was wondering if this was possible.
I will in no consistent way, schedule appointments to either chiropractor, or physio, or whatever. So one week I may have chiro on monday, next week it might be thursday, etc. It's always the same chiro location and doctor, but not always the same day each week....so the repeat feature is no good for me. However every week I have to enter all the info in again and again.
Is there a way to save an entry to the phone for "chiro", that I can recall in the calender and it populates all the chiro data into the entry?

perhaps there is a calender app that would do this better for me?

[Q] calandar problem...please help

When I change the time zone, either manually or automatically, the times of my appointments in the calendar app all change as well.
For instance, if I travel from central time zone to eastern time zone, all of the appointments will shift to an hour later.
I travel a lot, and this has become quite problematic. Can anyone help?
anyone?
It's driving me 'round the bend.
I do not understand why this is a problem....
All appointments are linked to UTC/GMT.
Therefore if you change timezone, your appointments follow suit.
The HD2 has the ability to work with two timezones
(windows key, settings, more, clock)
Tab time, if you set "visiting" your appointments will move in time. (because of lock to GMT)
If you on the other hand changeyour home time it will also automatically change the times. (because of lock to GMT)
The only thing I can suggest is plan your appointments in GMT time, then all appointments will automatically move to the correct time in the timezone.
What I mean:
If you need an appointment at 13:15 EST (UTC-5), and you are in Amsterdam at the moment (UTC+1) (Note UTC=GMT) then the appointment should be planned in at 19:15 (conversion from EST to UTC adds 5, from UTC to Amsterdam +1)
This is actually also the time you should make a phonecall to someone in EST at 13:15. (To rech a person at 13:15 in EST, you will need to call them at 19:15 Amsterdam time..)
Now if you move to the EST region, adapt your clock, all appointments will shift in time, resulting in the planned appointment beeing scheduled at 13:15.
The other option (if you do not like this), is to look for a second clock, which looks at the earlier mentioned "Visiting" time, without activating visiting Time (leaving allways on home time, not adapting that one to your new timezone)
Clocks Like SPB Time, handy clock ar just two apps wher you can see multiple timezones at once. (Commercial apps, quite expensive)
But there are a lot of freeware alternatives too, but then you will have to look for yourself (and WM6.5) as loads of freeware clocks are for PPC2003, wm5, wm6 seldom for wm6.5
I hope this will help you.
Hi Wilco !
I am facing exactly this problem since now I use my HD2-Sense calendar as my calendar "on the go" (till now I used Google-mobile app to call up my calendar)
I am syncing now my Google-Calendar via Active-sync/Exchange and it is really annoying when I am in a different time zone that all my appointments shift in time and it would be a hell of work to register appointments in UTC and wouldn't make sense since when I look up appointments in my home place they are shifted to local time too.
On the other hand I need the local time on my home screen when in a different time zone.
Isn't there a handy way to overcome this ? Having the clock show the local time AND the calendar keeping the appointment dates to home time ?
Maybe a reg-tweak?
Does maybe anyone know where in the registry I find the coding for the calendar so that I can play around a bit .............
Just for info: got in contact with HTC support. They answered: it´s not possible to have local time AND calendar dates correct. It´s an either - or
I mean: how stupid is THAT ??????
Now finally I found a somehow easy solution to this problem since HTC is of absolutely no help and won´t solve in the next 30 years
Before You leave Your time-zone call up google calendar in any browser, go to "settings" and switch time zone to the time-zone of Your destination.
Then resync Your calendar.
Once You come back change time-zone again in google calendar.

[Q] Calendar issues

Im loving my Titan, especially the calendar sync with windows live, google etc.
I run a Driving School and use the calendar to set up appointments with my clients, add them as attendees and save. However, when the email is sent to the attendee to accept the details of time and location are sometimes wrong, even if I leave the location blank.
Its led to a few missed appointments. Can anyone test this feature and see if its a common problem.
also, is there a way to change the "Im running late" feature to include a text message, rather than relying on people checking their emails?

Not exactly clear what you mean. But calender events are sensitive to timezones. Make sure all pcs and phones involved have the accurate timezone settings.

What I mean is, I arrange an appointment with one of my clients and set it up on my phone. I generally don't add a location, as it is usually at their house, unless we have arranged a different place, then i will include that.
I then use the "add someone" button, select the persons email address to send the calendar .ics file for them to accept.
I have had reports from some of my clients who, when they open the file has had different times than i had originally set up.
Like I said, it is related to the time zone settings. Most ppl don't care to set their PC's time zone (default is PST/PDT). And if you're in a different time zone than that, the time will be different for you and your client. Let's say if you setup a meeting at 4pm EST and your client is setup(or rather didn't care to setup) to use PST on their PC. That meeting will show up as 1pm PST on their side. Since they didn't setup the correct time zone but rather adjusted the clock, they will see the meeting is at 1pm instead of 4pm you intended.
The bottom line is unless you can be sure both you and your clients all have setup time zone correctly, using this kind of meeting invites are prone to cause problems.

Editing Calendar Events

I have a user that syncs her corporate email and calendar to her Motorola Droid Razr, Android 4.0.X. The initial entry of an event in her calendar is set for the correct time and time zone. When she edits her event the time zone changes which causes the event to be displayed at a different time.
Another user also has the issue on a Droid Incredible, but is not as concerned about it. I have the HTC EVO LTE and have not been able to replicate the issue.
I read this site and thought it could work. Any thoughts? We have reset her account, changed her time zone, resynced.

S Planner - How to repeat events every 4 week?

Hello Everyone.
Could you please help me? How can I teach S Planner repeat the event every 4 weeks?
For example, for tomorrow (Sunday, June 23) I need to put an event that would be repeated every 4 weeks.
In the settings there are two possibilities.
Monthly (every fourth Sunday)
Monthly (on day 23).
It is logical to assume that the first option is the one you want. But as it turned out, event marked on the fourth Sunday from the beginning of each month, not the beginning of the event ..
So, having to me the repeated event should take place on July 21. But S Planner marks the fourth Sunday of July - July 28.
I would be very grateful if you would advise how to solve this problem, or suggest a similar planner with the necessary functionality to me.
I have been looking for the same, but still not found how except to do it on Google calendar, was hoping they would have update this but it seems not.
If you hear from anything, drop a line.
Create the event in Google calender at every 4 weeks. Sync Google calender to your account. Then sync it to s calender. It shows up in s calender at every 4 weeks.

Creating Calendar Events via Google Now Voice Command

So I'm trying to figure out how to get events created via voice command formatted correctly. I found a info graphic that says to use, "Create calendar event, event in New York, Saturday at 8pm" as an example. Well I'm trying to put my work schedule in, and tried, "create calendar event, work, Monday at 9am to 5pm". I get an event that is what: meeting, where: work, when: 9am to 9:30am. Does anyone know how to properly create my event via voice with google now?

And I assume the infographic you're talking about is:

Try saying "go to work" instead of just "work." Seemed to create the proper event for me doing it that way.
What I said exactly: "create calendar event go to work on monday at 9am to 5pm"
If you want the description to just be "Work," you'll have to edit that manually. As far as I know, there is no way to force Google to have a different interpretation, it's likely coded to use things like "home" and "work" as locations.
