[Q] Google calendar - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
First sorry for my bad english if something is not written corectly and i hope this is the right place to ask this question. Me and my wife use the google calendar to manage our tasks and common events. When one of us add a new event and adds someone to this event as participent i would like to recive on my android a push notification in drop down menu of the phone so that i know something has been added to the calendar and i can confirm and accept it. I know about the email notification but to be honest i have missed it many times when you get lots of emails. Is there any way to get push notification like FB has for all of its ****ty things?

Notification Led usable?

Hi,
as here in this forum are so many people with great knowledge, I hope somebody can help me:
Is there any way to make the integrated notificiation LED of the Tablet S usable for calendar notifications? I tried it with and without lightflow but the led does not blink when there's an event reminder. And a notification for an appointment is moreimportant than email notifications.
Perhaps somebody has a working solution
Thank you
I'm Affraid there is none ATM, but its a great idea, sadly it will not be as easy to ask to the official calendar app maker, which is Google in this case, because not all devices has this function, in fact even if all devices support this way of alarming, then not all users want to have this option, but you could always try to contact google via google play, and search the callendar if its not shown in the market then you should send a normal message, tell them to make a checkbox within the app, so you can choose to use or block this option,
personally i hate it, because i take my tab regulary to my bethroom so sometimes i get a notification and my whole room is flashing green xD very annoying,
Maby i'm not right but as far as i know there isn't any option like this
Ps: understand that my english is not that good, cause i'm still dutch XD
Goodluck!.

I used LightFlow (the free version) for a short while and it reminded me of calendar events, as long as there was a Reminder set in the event (i.e. for 10 minutes before etc). I never had problems with it. Did you set up the Calendar notification in LightFlow?

Normal notifications on JellyBean

I got JellyBean a couple of days ago for my Galaxy Nexus. A work mate has the same device, and also got the new update.
The problem is, I got the new notification center, which looks different than the previous one, buy my notifications are just plain normal. Example: if I call my work mate, his missed call notification has two Answer and Dismiss buttons, mine is just a normal missed call notification. Also, email notifications are just the old notifications with a new visual style, no option to unfold the whole e-mail or directly reply. I'm not getting any new functionalities from my notifications. What is wrong here?
Also, I tried Google Now Voice Search, after seeing some videos on the Internet, asking it some easy questions like "What's the weather like?".
But I just get a normal voice search on google; no direct answer or voiced answer from the phone. Perhaps this has to do with me having my phone language settings set to Spanish? I changed it to English but got the same results.

[Q] Method hooking - or: how to get other apps data

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?

[Q] [Facebook App] Birthdays

Hello!
I'm here because I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 and sometimes I get notifications on the notification bar, coming from Facebook App, saying that somebody's birthday is today and to write on his/her mural... No, it is NOT coming from my android calendar, it is really coming from Facebook App, and I don't know how to choose the people that it notify's me... It's always people that I know outside facebook, but some that I know do not appear too... I don't know how the app chooses who to show, I want to choose, or know how it chooses so I can "influence" it! :crying:
I would be TRULY GRATEFUL to the one who can answer me. I give 1$ though paypal to the first answering right!
Please people help :crying:

Calendar + Assistant + repeating notifications recommendation needed please!

Hi everyone. I've finally managed to get my Google calendar on my Huawei to give me notifications for Reminders! However, I would really like repeating reminders on these notifications in case I don't see or hear the reminder or just plain forget to do what they say! Ideally I'd like the notifications to keep going off every couple of minutes if I don't respond to them, and Google calendar doesn't have this functionality at all, as far as I can tell.
I tried a Program called calendar Notifications Plus, which looks perfect for my needs, but doesn't seem to work on my phone, it simply doesn't pick up on any reminders I set, so doesn't actually do a thing on my system.
I noticed that in the Google settings you can specify an alternative calendar app, so I was going to try that with a third party calendar app. Does anyone have any recommendations for an app, ideally with this repeating functionality built into it, and on top of that I'd like to talk to Google assistant to set up the reminders if possible, like I do currently.
For example I say "Hey Google, remind me to punch a badger at 12pm today" and it sets up the reminder which gets put into the thirtld party app, which will notify me at 12pm and then continue to vibrate/play a notification sound every 2 minutes until I dismiss the notification.
Anyone have any experience running a setup like this please?
Thanks so much!
P.S - I really wouldn't recommend punching badgers as they (a) don't like it (b) can be quite vicious, and (c) often carry tuberculosis. ?
Ah, turns out the Alternative calendars setting isn't for alternative third party apps, but for alternative calendars, like Chinese, Hebrew, Indian, etc.
So I guess my new question is - does anyone know how I can get notifications to repeat and keep beeping/vibrating every couple of minutes until I dismiss the notifications?
