[Q] No birthday notifications in stock weather widget - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I can't get it to work. Birthdays don't show up although the option is checked in settings. Anybody out there with this option working?

You have to use Samsung contact/calendar. It won't work with Google contact/calendar

i tried syncing the calendar/contacts.. and is still not showing.. any help?

It started working for some reason starting from this new year. I didn't change anything. Pie is showing for my Google contacts birthdays.

I have this problem too, any solution to fix it?
Stock 4.1.2 firmware S2 (XWLS8)
Thanks in Advance

Sorry for taking up this old thread again, but I think that it's better than opening a new one.
Well, the issue is the next: after updating to Android 4.3 stock ROM (the Swiss one: XXUGML2), I have lost the possibility of showing birthday notifications (a cake) in weather widget. The option is not in the configuration menu any more.
Is this a general issue? Any solution?
Thank you in advance.

[Q] Google Now

Hi,
I am using Omega ROM 27.2,
When I using search I don't see ant signs of Google Now,
How can I enable it?
Am I looking in the wrong place?
That's strange. When I switched to v27.. it was automatically integrated into Google search. Do you have a screenshot of your Google search function?

Google Now
Hold your Home button; it should show up directly on top of it.

Hi,

Hmmm.. seems odd. Have you tried searching obvious things like weather, directions... should show information as a card.
Is your Google account signed in etc.

Found the problem
I changed the Phone locale from hebrew back to english and suddenly I could use Google Now,
The keyboard is Samsung swipe and I think it's the best!

Contacts & dialer no longer integrated in jb

Since upgrading my phone to the stock jelly bean firmware (rooted) I've noticed one rather annoying bug. When someone rings me, the phone no longer
displays their name & picture - just the number. Exactly as if they were not in my contacts.
But they are.
I also noticed that the sms messaging app want integrating with contacts anymore. I solved this by installing a new app (handcent), but i don't really want to have to install a new dialer.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

I'm on LJ4 and have the contacts photo showing up when called...
To clarify, the dialer itself is fine - when I'm dialing, it can find my contacts.
It's when I get a phone call. It displays the number, but didn't associate it in any way with any of my contacts.

Im in lj5 and everything works here. Probably you have duplicate contacts somewere.

yeh duplicate contacts or do a wipe and root it with a decent rom
Am rooted, but want to stay close to stock. Well check to see if there are dupe contacts. Thanks.

You have to wait 1 or 2 seconds for the name to show... this happens to me sometimes... not all the time... and not with every contact... but eventually it will show...
It's never shown yet - even after a few minutes.
It does look like a contacts issue. Even I look in the contacts app, there are no duplicates. However, when I try and update a contract from a phone number, it lists a number of extra contacts - including plenty of duplicates.
Not sure how to access these extra contacts normally though...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I think these extra contacts may have been added by syncing Google+ contacts. I actually switched it off fairly early on, but it seems to have corrupted my contacts now...
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Removing the relevant gmail account from my phone & then re-adding it appears to have fixed the problem

Mysterious Korean girl appearing on S3 lock screen during call

Hi Guys,
I'm having a strange problem on a S3 a customer has. The problem is that when you make a call and then lock and unlock the screen a mysterious korean girl appears and i have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Wondering whether anyone has any ideas. (Attached a picture).
Phone is a NZ bought model, running stock ICS 4.0.4.
All help appreciated!
Cheers,
Maybe that's part of the preinstalled carrier stuff?
Is he using the stock dialer?
I don't think it would be preinstalled as it only started happening recently after his son was playing with his phone (but doesn't know what he did to make it happen) and yes its using the stock dialler.
thanks

Looks like a Picasa image to me.
Check the syncing options in contacts You can choose to only show contacts with numbers in the contacts settings.
Anymore photos like that, forward them on.
I don't think its a bad thing

Podcast app player controls unresponsive.

Hi all,
I have an issue with Honor 7 B371 where my podcast apps (Podcast Addict and PocketCasts), player controls in the notification shade are unresponsive. Anyone else noticed this? More importantly, has anyone been able to resolve this too!

Try to put those apps in Protected list, it might help to let them run in background.

Already done that mate and having no issues with missing notifications. Even when the apps are running and the screen is on, the player controls do nothing. Weird eh?
Thanks for the reply...

Is the app running in the background? Is wifi killing these apps when you exit them? Come on people! It litterally says in the top of the forum, give as much information as possible and not as little.
