Create Calendar Entry from Text Message, Email or Phone Dialer - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've looked everywhere, but I can't figure out how to or if there is an app that will let me create a calendar entry from a text message, email or from the phone dialer. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

MMS intent

I have two apps installed on my stock, unrooted G2 that should be able to compose an MMS: Lolcats widget from www.icanhascheezburger.com and 'pinpoint'. Both were installed via Android market. When I go to 'share' or 'send' in either app, MMS is not an option. Instead I am offered email, gmail, Facebook, Twitter etc. Pinpoint does offer SMS but I would like to picture message. Any ideas what could be wrong?

X10 2.1 messeging add recipient problem

Hey guys
When I try to type a new message and then select add recipient it gives me a long list with facebook account and gmail, Is there a way to only show the phone contacts when selecting a recipient?
I disabled the facebook and gmail contacts from displaying on phonebook but it doesn't seems to affect messaging!!
Apologies but I'm going to answer your question with another question: Why don't you download Handcent from Market? Free download and works well.
As for the stock messaging app, try going into contacts and click the 3 heads icon at the top left and choose contacts with phone number, under Phone contact choose contact.
Not sure if it will solve it but have a go.

Stock mail app issues

I'm having an issue with the stock mail app (aside from its crappy large font and horrid UI)
When I recieve an HTML email e.g. a notification from Facebook or from a company advertising something - I can't asee the text.
Facebook emnails have the blue hyperlinks but if it was a notification of a message, I can see the friend names and pics but not the comment/text next to the name???
Is very annoying as I have a yahoo mail account and several gmail acocutns and want to be able to have everything in one place.
Any ideas?
Will try K9 in meantime but wondered if anyone else has this issue and whether its an S3 issue or an ICS 4.0.x issue??
Thanks
The stock mail app is horrible. In some circumstances it'll draw white text on a white background, thus causing your problem of missing text in emails. It also has a bug where the compose text field prevents you from selecting text properly (text selection handles are bugged).
I've rooted and replaced it with the stock ICS mail app. Tried K9 but it kept crashing. ICS Mail app isn't great either, sometimes it takes an age to check for mails, also the folders are badly organised e.g. browsing to Drafts on my gmail account takes me to a different (in app) drafts folder, and I have to navigate to [google mail] -> drafts to find the correct gmail folder. I wish IMAP clients would have options to map in app folders to their correct IMAP locations.
I have K9 and so far not crashing but in comparison to the previous stock mail app I had on my HTC Desire HD they are both horrid.
Thats probably the only bit i miss as the s3 is superior in every way but the email handling is poop.
Ideally google would open out the gmail app to allow other imap accounts, e.g. yahoo and then i could have it all in one place and it look nice.
That or someone port the htc maill app over.
Hi everybody, i have S3 and also facing the same problem with my IMAP account. S3 make its own "send" items folder and not synchronize it with my IMAP one. Can I change the "Samsung send" folder to IMAP send folder?

Mail & Txt #not deleting on icon

Anyone else having problems with the red mail number on the mail and text icon not deleting when you delete mail?

new user questions

Hey everyone,
I'm a new Samsung/S3 user and had a couple of hopefully easy questions for u guys. When looking at my text messages, is there a way to mark all of the unread messages as read or reset the number of unread text messages?
Also, when using the stock calendar for events, if i hit reply from a calendar event , the stock email program appears. I only using Gmail calendars and email program, is there a way to have gmail be my default email program so when i am opening links my gmail will open up instead of the default email program.
Thanks
bump....anyone has an idea?
