[Q] Calendar edit event issue

I'm on skyrider 2.2. It appears that i can't edit an event already on my calendar. Only can delete. I remember prior to 2.2 i was able to make correction. Any suggestions is appreciated.

so when you click on your event and choose menu/edit.. what does it give you?

When I press menu within event I get 4 options: add reminder, delete event, share and agenda. No option to edit event.

[Q] Disable contact pictures

hey!
just a short question: is it somehow possible to disable (remove!) the contact pictures that come with facebook-contact-sync?
thanks!
theo
edit: I am using InsertCoin HD-port

If it's just the Facebook ones you don't want, go into the settings of the facebook app and choose to not sync. Or if you don't want them to show at all go into the preferences of the Contact app.

I would like to sync all the facebook-contacts, but I don't want the facebook-contact-pictures coming with syncing "Facebook for HTC Sense".
the normal facebook app is not synchronising at all.

Open up the Contacts app and go through the settings to disable contact icons. To sync fully with Facebook, just go into the app, go into the settings and select sync all. If this doesn't work, go into Accounts and Sync and manually do it from there instead.

YES! thats what I want
but I can't find any "settings-menu" in contacs app ("people").
I am on InsertCoin HD Port - android 2.2.1
in contacts app I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
where can I find the option to disable contact icons?
THANKS!

Press the menu button on your Desire and it will bring up a little menu then just select settings. No idea what it's like on InsertCoin but should be still the same. They are there, you just have to find them. But seriously, press menu > settings.

arrr.
I feel like a real noob...I just can't find it :-(
as described above, when I am in my contacts app ("people") and press the menu-button I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
THERE IS NO "SETTINGS" option.
if you dont trust me I will upload some screenshots
cant imagine that there is no option like this in my HD-port...maybe I should ask in the Desire HD-forum...
nevertheless..thanks!

Sorry mate. I know what you mean now. Bloody native Android has it so you can get rid of the contact icon but Sense doesn't. I installed Sense earlier and I can't find anything. Guess you could get a 3rd party app and use that but as far as I can tell, it's not going to happen.

Does the calendar still not show birthdates stored in contacts?

I think the thread title says it all. I added a birthdate in a contact and it doesn't show up in the calendar. But the birthdate of another friend is shown (which is stored in contacts too).
Now I don't know if this date was saved manually by me or did it work once with the calendar?

For this you have to go in the settings of your Google Calendar (on the web), then Calendar tab -> Browser interesting's calendars and subscribe to the Contacts' birthdays and events calendar

This is awesome. I never knew about these. Kinda hard to find. The instructions about KINDA get you there.
Step 1
google.com/Calendar
in the left panel at the bottom - Other Calendars; click little Arrow -> Browse Interesting Calendars
Holidays is the first tab. US Holidays is a good one.
More Tab -> Contacts' Bday and Events = Bingo
Step 2
Then on your PHONE go to Calendar > Menu > Calendars to Display
Click "Calendars to Sync" button
Select which ones to sync from the ones you selected in the first step.
Pretty cool stuff. Learn something every day.
I have Moon Phase, Birthdays, US Holidays.

I have to agree that this not the most intuitive feature
but thanks for the more detailed instructions

Very good tip and instructions. Many thanks.

I didn't even realize this was an option. I gave up on it a long time ago. Thanks for the tips guys.

Most useful post I've read all day.
Thanks!

It is nice, but for some reason, google made it impossible to get a notification for these events. Anyone find a workaround for doing that? All I can think of is to copy each to a new calendar in the web interface - but that is clunky and tedious

Q how to use a different calendar when tapping on notifications

Hi,
I have installed me another calendar app (aCalendar). When i get notifications in the topbar my phone uses the build in calendar. How can i avoid this and use aCalender?
Thanks
Ateshga

You mean you're getting both default calendar and aCalendar notifications at the same time?
Go into the default Calendar app and select the account it's synced too and uncheck the sync box. Then it'll stop notifying you because it won't be synced to new events.

You need to clear defaults for the gmail app. then you can select which app to do the action you want next time you click it.

Doesnt work here.
Is my calender app perhaps the problem? It uses the build in calendar so it might not handle the notifications...
Am i correct? Dont i have to use another app? Which one do you use?
Thanks in advance

@martonikaj no i just get the googlecalendar notification. Sorry overread your question in first place...
Bye

Hi
It doesnt work till today. I tried several calendars now (jorte, quick and lately business calendar) The problem remains The Same: when i pull down Thema notification bar where The event notification pops up and select the event The phone jumps in the Google calendar.
Is this an ICS problem?
What am i doing wrong?
Please help.
Thx
Ateshga

Whichever app is providing the notification will open when you click. You need to set up notification with your desired app and disable notification in the unwanted app - of course, having said that, I'm not sure those options are available, so it may just be easier to freeze the undesired app instead...

Hi i now found my failure: i got what i paid for. Free apps mostly dont support notifications.
I now bought an app (business calendar) and all is fine now.
Seems i have to learn a bit more about the android world.
Thx for the help i got ...
A.

I started using Business Calendar. I removed notifications for the default calendar, but I forgot to remove sync. The notification bar would never clear, now I think I know why. Thanks martonikaj.

[Q] Facebook birthdays shows on lockscreen although unchecked

Hi!
This is really annoying.
I have unchecked every calendar except my main one.
But the birthdays from the Facebook-calendar is still showing as a notice on the lockscreen. Is there someway around this? Or do I have to send an error report to HTC?
Cheers

Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Productivity* > Settings > Display calendar events from... and select/deselect ones you want to show.
*this assumes you are using this particular theme/skin for locked screen.
I was doing the same as you, thought unchecking the FB calendar in Calendar options/settings would do the trick but no joy - took me a while to figure this out!
Hope it works.

Tryed that,didn't work,i think is a lock screen bug,i am using MILocker now.

As stated above. I does not work, that was the first thing I tried.

It worked for me.
Are you both stock or custom & are you running latest Facebook version?
Perhaps try uninstalling the Facebook app, clearing the app cache & re-installing might help. Then deselect Facebook calendar under app sync options, calendar view and then lock screen settings just to be thorough.
Failing that, not sure what else to try except a hard reset if it bothers you that much!
