Having multiple calendars on my phone, I've found that if someone else is the organizer I can't edit the notifications.
So if my wife sends me an event and the notification is for 2 days, how do I change it so that it notifies me 2 hours before?
Could it just be something to do with the conversion of phones? On my Moto phone I could change any event, no matter what as long as it was in my calendar.
If I go to the website, I can edit to my hearts content. I just don't understand. I've even removed and added myself as an invitee, but it still won't allow me to change it.

I say unique because I may be the only one that is requesting help with this so don't put too much weight into it but if you do think you can help, I would appreciate it.
When receiving a text from an actual phone number, the "callback" feature, when pressed, calls the number back from which the text was recieved. At work(airline pilot), we have the ability to set parameters for trips that become available and the mainframe will send us a text when our parameters are met. The address in the text is in the form of an email address....ie.... [email protected]. Many of these open trips are highly sought after( worth a lot of money) so the ability to call crew scheduling back expeditiously is a high priority. On the Samsung Instinct, all I had to do was make a contact in the phone book that matched that email address and the callback feature matched the two up and I could call back immediately with only one keystroke. This phone(whether Handcent or native phonebook) tries to call the email address(regardless of the fact that I have an exact match in the phonebook)....which obviously it cant do so I get an immediate "call ended" on the dialer. Is there any way to edit the call back number or match the numbers up in the phonebook so the callback feature in the running SMS page will work when the text is sent from something other than a phone number??? I don't have the time to go thru 5 menus and 5-10 keystrokes....the trip is gone by then and I miss the opportunity of potentially thousands of dollars(and/or more time at home).
If I cannot figure this out, I will have to return the Hero and go back to the Instinct. It literally is thousands of dollars at stake.
PS...I posted this same question on the Handcent website but so far, no reply.
Thanks for reading and TIA!
It sucks but I will be returning the Hero because of this.....I am tired of watching the money go by and not being able to grab it.
If you use googlemail -
In any email you get a circle next to the mail sender. Sometimes its coloured green, sometimes not (doesn't matter which)
Press the circle and you got straight to the contact for the sender and can ring out straight from there. Hope you haven't sent it back yet!
The problem is getting the phone to recognize and sync the 2 contacts together. Handcent has a callback feature. But if you activate it, it dials 6245... which I guess is where the text is sent from. But the header of the text is in email format. I have made contacts with both 6245 and the header address in the hopes that the phone will sync the inbound text to the contact. The Instinct does this successfully. So far, this phone has not.
Hi,
There's something I'd like to do on my samsung galaxy note that I was able to do on my Symbian-based device in the past, but I can't figure out how to do it under Android.
I'd like to save multiple SMS drafts per recipient. However, my Galaxy note 2 only seems to permit me to save one SMS draft per recipient, with each subsequent draft overwriting the previous draft for that same recipient.
Here's why I'd like to have this capability:
If I want to type a long SMS to someone (more than 160 characters), what I like to do is split the message at logical places such as after commas, sentence endings, etc. I would do this by getting close to the end of a given SMS message and then stopping it at the point that I choose, saving it as a draft, and then continuing my text in a new SMS starting at the beginning of the next sentence, phrase, etc. Then, once the set of drafts is completed, I will first proofread and make corrections in the entire group of drafts, and only then will I manually send them off, one after the other.
Yes, I know I can type a long message and the SMS app will automatically split it into pieces after 160 characters, but that often splits words or breaks sentences and phrases in places that I don't want them broken.
Here's how I try to accomplish this on my G1:
Invoke the Messaging app.
Select New Message.
Select recipient.
Compose first SMS.
Select the Back key (draft 1 gets saved).
Select New Message.
Select same recipient as before.
Compose second SMS.
Select the Back key (draft 2 gets saved).
However, at this point, draft 1 has been overwritten by draft 2. In other words, only draft 2 remains.
Can anyone think of a way for me to accomplish what I want (or at least something similar) on my samsung galaxy note 2?
Thanks in advance.
no one ??
This isn't possible in the stock messaging app. You can use GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS, which allow you to create folders and save messages in them just like in Symbian. So you can save parts of the long message in a folder and send them one by one. I like to use the stock messaging app in my devices though, so the way I do this is to type out the message till the limit, copy it and paste it in a note taking app, then copy it back to the messaging app when I need to send it. In ICS and JellyBean, when you select a bunch of text to copy, you get a share button to directly share it by SMS and other stuff. So it's very easy and doesn't involve copy-pasting twice. I just select, share, done. I find this to take the same number of steps and be just as easy as saving to a folder and sending. If you must do it that way, then one of the above apps should be right for you.
I regularly send long messages, sometimes even 10-15 messages long if I'm copy-pasting some stuff from the internet to someone, but I've never experienced your problem or messages breaking up and missing content. They just reach the recipient as one big message. Although, this behaviour is dependent on the mobile network provider, so I can't speak for yours. But I have never seen this happen with any GSM provider I'm my country. I'm guessing yours must be CDMA?

Could you please tell me which note taking app you use with ics thank you in advance. Tom
This is merely a work-around for how to work on multiple drafts to a recipient. First add your name and mobile device phone # to your Contacts List. Refine your first draft as thoroughly as possible. Then address that message to your own mobile device phone #, and send it. You'll see that message twice, as both your "Sent" & your "Received" message. Your first draft is "parked" in your mobile device's phone #. Now you can work on your next draft, as you would normally. If you decide to send your first draft to the recipient, just forward it from your mobile device's inbox!
Hi there, Android newbie here
I just came across this WhatsApp widget for Root which is able to display recent messages. I was wondering how the developers managed to get the data from WhatsApp.
As of now, I can think of three possible ways:
a) The widget refreshes its contents whenever it detects activity on the WhatsApp message database.
b) The widget "hooks" methods that get called in one of WhatsApps activities when new messages arrive and mirrors the messages into its own database.
c) The widget listens for push messages with the WhatsApp signature or listens for traffic between WhatsApp and their servers.
I use the termin "hooking" because of the way iOS tweaks are written, I have no idea if this is possible on Android. Which way is more likely? Any suggestions are appreciated
Let me elaborate on the background of my question: I noticed that WhatsApp groups new messages as a single item in the notification window. I'm thinking about selling my iPhone and getting an Android phone, but I would like to have a preview of all incoming messages like iOS's notification center.
Hmm... anyone? is this the wrong board?
I have multiple email accounts that I read on my Note2. I prefer to sort them with unread emails on the top. When using the combined view I have to manually change the sort order. It will remember that until I click a notification to read an email. When I go back to the combined view I have to reset the sort order. Is there a control file I can edit to make "sort by read/unread" my default always?
Thanks,
Dave
Lately, I've been noodling how I can improve Samsung's Send SOS ("Send help" on the S5) feature using Tasker.
Some background: Since the S5 and perhaps earlier, the Galaxy line has a built-in Safety Assistance feature. When switched on it can be triggered by pressing the power button three times quickly. The phone then switches on high accuracy GPS and creates two texts ("SOS!" and "I need help") with this location data. It also records a 5-second audio clip and takes a photo using each the front-facing and rear camera. These five texts are sent to pre-designated contacts (up to four).
Whether hurt in an accident or facing a bad outcome with a criminal or a cop with an attitude, this feature could is useful. Still, I'd like to enhance it:
- a more actionable "help" message, e.g., Google street address approximation or key instruction;
- a longer recording that is shared and backed up to the cloud.
This looks like it should be easy for Tasker to handle. I created a profile triggered by a notification that help messages are being sent. After the initial text, I used the Recordr app, which has a Tasker plugin to record, then stop after two minutes. (I don't reverse this order because I don't wish to delay the instructional message. Who knows what can happen if I wait?)
It saves the recording in a file with a 15-character name based upon date and time, e.g.., DATE_TIME.aac.
Haven't tried Tasker's record media
A1: Send SMS Number xxxxxxxxxx Message: Avenge me!
A2: Recordr Configuration Record
A3: Wait 2 minutes
A4: Recordr Configuration Stop
My messaging app, Message+ (no judgements, please), automatically sends in Group messaging mode, which allows potential coordination by my "saviors." Sadly, some services may not respond as I'd like. Google Voice and Metro PCS recipients do not use Group mode. Short of having everyone switch messengers -- a very personal and unlikely option -- the only solution I can think of is to warn everyone that some people may not receive or respond in Group mode.
Another issue: Not knowing the file name, I'm unsure how to go about sharing the longer recording. I'm leaning to not having to know the name and using AutoShare or AutoInput to get this done. Also: Any thoughts on what's long enough? A crime is probably less than a minute, an accident needs little time like location info, and a traffic stop can take a while unless things go south quickly.)
My questions:
1. How can I retrieve and send this recording to a contact or point to a link online?
2. How long a recording do you recommend?
3. Any other ideas on what to add?
4. Rather than wait for the Send notification, which waits until after the location has been determined, is there a way to trigger off the initial button presses?
