[Q] Glitch with Calendar - Unable to Edit. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using two sense froyo ROMS and have noticed I am unable to edit calendar events once they are put into place. When clicking on an event it briefly flashes the screen for editing and then goes straight to event details.
Is this a problem with HTC Sense, or the specific roms I am using? Tried doing a search first but I didn't find anything that seemed relevant.
I appreciate the help.

I know this thread hasn't seen any activity, but I was looking for an answer on this very problem. The only way I can seem to edit events in Sense is to long press from the agenda. Anyone know why there's no way to edit directly from the event details?

Email with custom email icons

Hi guys, this is probably a retarded question but.. how can i go about putting my own icons on the side of my email accounts in the messaging program on my phone? I Know tmobile has the email plugin that gives your email an icon like Yahoo! and Aim but im not using the tmobile rom, im using the GREAT Htc rom version before the Rogers. I just want to use better icons rather than the stock ugly mail looking one that you get when you start a new make a new email account. Is there a folder with icons or a registry i can change to use my own custom icon? Thanks guys...
?????
Not one person knows an answer to this? Someone has to at least know, im sure its quite simple to figure out. I just need a little help. lolz
Custom Email Icon
I too am wondering how do to this.
I am guessing it'll have to be some change in the reg edit.
I believe I've checked on this in here and seem to find nothing.
Bueller, Bueller...
Here's the most related thread I could find. Fourth post down by limpmike. I might try exploring around this reg to see what I can modify...
what a retarded question. jk
i have no clue. let me poke around and see if i can find where thats located.
there's a way to do it, but for only one icon.... meaning you cannot have custom icons for every email account. there's only one master email icon for all email accounts you have. i messed with it a few months back and there doesn't seem to be a way to use custom icons for each and every email account you have. and btw... the changes ARE in the registry.

[Q] Froyo - Official ROM - People widget does not remember default action

Hi,
I have updated my unrooted stock ROM to the new 2.2 stock Froyo this weekend (by using the normal system refresh).
I have done a factory reset after upgrading the operating system.
Everything works but the "People widget". If I click someone it asks for the default action. For example I select "call mobile". After the call the small mobile icon appears for the contact (indicating the default action), but if I select another contact and add a default action again, the default action for the first contact disappears... It asks again for default action when I click on the contact.
I have:
-Removed and re-added the people widget from the desktop
-Removed and re added the group (the people widget use)
-Created a new group and added people manually by using the "+" sign of people widget
...none of the above worked.
Please help me what to do.
Thank you for your help in advance,
Andrew
Do you have any idea why people widget acts like this?
Anyone? Any Idea? Suggestions?
Resolution
I was having the same issue, but I believe I was able to resolve it. When I logged into Gmail from my desktop pc, I noticed a contacts group called "Starred in Android". I added everyone who's listed in my widget to this group, and that seemed to do the trick. At that point I simply had to set the default action for each contact once, and now my phone remembers it
(BTW, I'm not sure this is Froyo-specific, as I seem to recall the same problem before I upgraded).

HTC Evo, Froyo build 3.26.651.6
The suggested "Starred in Android" fixed my problem.
Thank You for the Solution. It definitely was an annoying problem.

[Q] Sense Calendar Question

Quick question... I've just switched back to Sense from CM6, and I'm wondering if I am losing my mind.
Am I right in saying that it is NOT POSSIBLE to edit calendar entries using HTC calendar? That seems unbelievable to me, but so far the only options I can see are to create an entry or delete. There is no "edit" option. I'm 99% certain that the AOSP calendar has this.
Can someone please confirm?
Thanks,
Matt_TX
EDIT: Even more bizarre... I CAN edit entries created on my Exchange Calendar, but I CANNOT edit entries created on my Google Calendars. So weird!
My edit option seems to depend on where the entry comes from. If I add something striaght to the calendar I can edit it as I please. If it's something that sync'ed from lets say Facebook then I can not edit it. My work exchange also syncs and it all depends on what the event is and if it's something I originally made or not. All in all I think it depends on the type of even it is but I will also be watching this thread to see if someone has a little more info they can chime in with.
This is really very strange...
I can add, edit and delete apppointments on my Exchange calendar - regardless of where the entry was orignally made - Phone, OWA or Outlook.
I can ONLY add or delete (NO EDIT) appointments on my Google calendar(s) - regardless of where the entry was originally made - Phone or Web.
Anyone know why this is the case? AOSP calendar works just fine... Is this a bug in Sense?

Contacts Widget App - Non Scrolling

As above, I'm looking for a contacts widget that will work with 2.3.3. Does anyone know of any? I've tried a half dozen or so from the market but they either don't work, or don't work the way I want them to.
I'm just looking for a non-scrolling sense type one. I don't want to install any launchers or anything like that, I'm happy with the phone as it is in that respect, so I would rather have a static one.
The closest one to the mark was Contact Widget, it looked the part but was very buggy. It was meant to show 20 contacts at any one time but after I had selected the 20, it then only displayed 4 and pretty much froze. Not sure if that's a 2.3.3 issue or not.
Any recommendations?
If you want one that's non-scrolling, I would suggest not installing anything. Just add shortcuts to your contacts on the home screen. You can also put them into a folder if you so choose.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for that, 2 years I've been running android and didn't know that lol.
I eventually found and sorted out elixir which does the job nicely.

[Q] Calendar notifications - only last hour or so visible?

Hello all,
this is my first post here in Z1C section, just bought it a few days ago. I have an issue with calendar notifications or at least I think it shouldn't function like this. Before I was using HTC Desire Z with various custom roms (Cyanogen, Slim ROM, etc) and didn't face that issue
The problem is that if I have some events planned, after the timing of the event passes, notification disappears or maybe only last one is visible (earlier one becomes replaced by current)
While using Desire Z I could always see in notification bar information with all current and earlier calendar notifications (even if it was from for example 2 days earlier) and I could browse through them until I dismissed / edited / deleted (or whatever) any of them.
(one notification with current reminder, underneath a message that there are for example 5 more reminders)
Is this normal behaviour, do you also this issue? Is there any fix to have that functionality on Z1C or do you have any idea what could cause this? I'm using latest 14.3.A.0.757 compilation from Sony, phone is rooted.
I would like to stay (at least for now) with original firmware. If you use custom rom and do not face this issue that would be a major point for me to consider switching I guess
Thanks in advance for any input on this!
ps. I have also tried a few other apps including Google Calendar, Cal: Any.do, problem occurs with every one of them.
Expired events ARE visible, more than last one, they only are in dimmed grey text color.
Would be good to be able to modify those colors, but I can live with it as is.
It isn't a direct solution, but maybe you'll find this app useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2969613
Thank you for your input on the matter. I switched to Business Calendar few months ago, multiple notifications work flawless there. Also this is the best calendar app that I've found so far and I highly recommend it.
Which exactly?
There are more than one on Google Play.
