Noticed that with every single ICS rom i tried, whenever i get a meeting request in an Exchange account and i choose "view in calendar" it goes to the right day but never shows the actual timeslots blacked out or marked in any way......
Is it the same with everyone?
With the stock ROM this is working for me. When the meeting is accepted do you see it in your calender correctly?
Under "Calendar/Calendars to be displayed" is the exchange account checked?
The inability to process and/or respond to non-Google meeting invites (Internet Calendar Sharing, or ICS, aka RFC 2445) is a long standing problem which Google seems to ignore.
Please "star" all the issues on this list. Some are 2-3 years old with hundreds of stars, yet no fix in Android.

that's exactly it my friend
I have some issues with the address book after installing [BETA 0.11][03.06] ICS for Desire[ALL HBOOTS][4.0.4].
I am unable to add new contacts and cannot add a number from call history to people.
This is what happens:
Add New Contact
Click People icon from the main menu.
Click the + icon at the bottom Right Corner
That gives me an option of adding the Contact to my Gmail Or Hotmail that I have configured. But does not give me an option to add it to Phone Address Book.
Add from Call History
Click the Phone Icon to go to Call histoty.
Press on the number I want to add to People.
Gives me three options, Add to Contacts, Call Number, Send Message.
Select Add to contacts.
That gives me an option of adding the Contact to my Gmail Or Hotmail that I have configured. But does not give me an option to add it to Phone Address Book.
Read on some other forum that, the work around for this is to Press and hold the unknown number. A menu will pop up allowing you to send a text to the number, edit it, save it to contacts But here also the same, Can add it to Gmail or Hotmail. Not Phone Contacts.
I'm on another ICS ROM: BCM 3.7U0 and it's the same. I'm guessing this is how the ICS built in People app functions.

Hi
It seems that Google with ICS have removed the feature of storing contacts on locally on the phone:

I'm still not a fan of this fact. I rather liked having them separated so that I could leave business contacts on the phone (actually the SIM, i didn't save any contacts to the phone itself) but ICS killed that. I'm not talking a backup to SIM, I didn't want the business numbers in my google account, period.
As to the question at hand, I leave it to Google and the account I made just for the phone, they already have hundreds of copies of the contacts on multiple servers. Anything else is going to be prone to error, incompatibility, corruption, etc. Also, google does the restoring & updating all on its own, no thought needed.

Go Contacts EX from Google Market, solved my issue. I can now store contacts on phone.

Google Now currently looks in my calendar and display cards based on certain calendar entries. This has happens for meeting invites and some calendar items, but I seemed to remember from one of the Google IO sessions that it would also display the Travel Card and flight information if there was calendar entry with flight dates/times/airline number...right now it doesn't do this even if all my flight information is in the calendar.
Right now the only time I see the travel card is if I do a manual search for the flight, and only on the same day...am I remembering it wrong?
According to http://www.google.com/landing/now/
Flights
Google Now keeps you up to date on flight delays and traffic conditions to the airport for flights you've recently searched for.

Thanks...since it pulls up other calendar entries, I just assumed it should do so for all of them. My alzheimers must be acting up again :silly:
I'm trying to find a way to use voice to add calendar entries.
Any way to do this either with gn or another app?

You can use the "events" feature by going online to your Google calendar settings and enabling events. Once you enable that feature, set up a contact called Calendar and use the number you were given during setup. You can then just send a voice text to "calendar" with the date, time, and purpose which will create the calendar entry for you.
If you prefer an app, check out voice calendar. The app works ok most of the time but it isn't perfect. I prefer the first option which works every time flawlessly.

I must be dense, as I don't see where to enable events on the online calendar's settings.
I think he means setup the Mobile Setup part of settings on your calendar. Google will text you a conf code that you put in there, then your mobile number is setup to enter calendar events by texting GVENT (48368) from your phone. So make a contact named Calendar with that as the number, then in Google Now tell it to text Calendar with the message details being the event info and it will setup the calendar event for you.
This worked great! Thank you
To those confused they will send you a text to confirm your number. Just add that text to your contacts and name it calendar or whatever you want. Then text them the info and they add it to your calender for you. Nice! I'm surprised at how accurate gn is with voice recognition. this actually works well.

Open Google now, say Google. Say "send text to calendar dinner tomorrow night at 5pm". This should set a calendar event for Wednesday at 5pm with subject of dinner

Has anyone gotten Google now to work with Google voice? I can't get the listed procedure to work b/c I don't use stock messaging, but rather use google voice instead for my text messaging... any ideas?
Anyone on Verizon got this to work? Just curious.

I set a different default, but the first time i sent a text with google now, it gave me the option to use google voice to send it. i didn't try it though
In my contact manager, I often include some descriptive text in the phone number field to differentiate one "Work" number from another.
For example, I have two "Work" numbers for Verizon. In the phone number field, after the actual number, I'll enter "Tech Supp" for one and "Billing" for the other. On my phone, it looks like:
Work: (800) 555-1212 Tech Supp
Work: (800) 555-1213 Billing
But dialers convert that text and dial it as numbers. Dialers I have tried will dial the above numbers as:
800555121283247877
80055512132455464
Is there a dialer that will ignore text that appears in the field with the phone number and/or simply dial the first ten digits??
Thanks.
Jace
I've never seen such a dialer, especially since some letters are actually used for things like a 'hard pause' and 'wait'.
There is a cleaner solution however, but it'll take a bit of work on your part.
If you use Google Contacts as your primary contact list (and I highly suggest you do for all sorts of reasons), you can actually change the text displayed next to any phone or email simply by clicking where it says Home/Work and selecting CUSTOM. Name it whatever you like and that label will carry over to your phone in the S3's default address book.
For example I have a few listed as:
Work - Direct (Line)
Work - Main (Company)
Note: I had an issue with a previous phone where not all the letters showed up so I tried to keep the names shorter by omitting the parts you see in ().
It works great however and it's quite easy to set up on a PC when on the Google contacts page. (I'm not sure if you can set custom on the phone directly).
Good luck
Thanks. I'd always heard that the characters for pauses and waits were "," and ";". but a little Googling reveals that "p" and "w" are used as well. You learn something every day, eh?
I use Microsoft Exchange for my contacts and sync w/ my phone because the contact list is shared with other people. Calendars too. I'll look into syncing with Google Contacts, but am a little leary of putting all that data in the cloud with reports of all the breaches occurring these days. Still, if Google Contacts can sync (two ways) w/ MS Exchange and with our phones (also two ways) so we are able to edit data on the phones and have it sync back to MS Exchange (through Google Contacts), that would be a workable solution.
Thanks again for the input.

And yes you can do the same thing from the phones contacts list.

I don't see how to edit the label from the phone itself, if that is what you were referring to, neither from the stock Contacts app, nor from Touchdown (which is what I currently have all my contacts in).

It was started above already
In the stock contacts app
Edit contact
Next to the number should be a label
Click it scroll down to custom and change it.

While the solution may be workable, it is rather brute force to edit the 4000+ contacts I have. Is it acceptable to leave the thread open in the hope of a more elegant solution?

Hi All,
Recently I update my Galaxy Note-II s Stock ROM to Android 4.3.
After update, I configured my E-Mail App with Microsoft's Outlook email in Exchange Push Mode.
Now I am not able to send any mail. Whenever I click Send button I get a notification "Retrieving account information" but nothing happens.
But I am able to retrieve mails.
Anyone facing same issue got resolved, please help.

Same thing is happening to me as well. We are using Zimbra for my company's email system. I'm on a Sprint Note 2 on 4.3 stock and no root. Funniest thing it was working after the 4.3 update but for some reason it stopped working as of today.

Same here on my ATT Note 2.
well, so far based on the fact there are reports coming from at least 3 cell providers that its the update causing it lol, wonder is samsung will say anything
i have found a workaround.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...4-4-with-gmail-style-ui-and-a-slide-out-menu/
you have to install the email app and also the exchange app.
and do not use the stock email app. but use this one
hope this helps
Hello,
the same problem here with an GT-I9505 (Samsung Galaxy S4).
Are there any solutions right now?
I don't want to downgrade it with the posted workaround because I want to use the phone as all others in the world. Buy it, install it, use it. Sometimes upgrade it and nothing more.
Particularly I don't want to hack anything on that phone because we have much phones in our company so we do not have time to fix those bugs manually.

1) Ask any user to send you an appointment
2) You will get the appointment on your device, accept the appointment and it will send an email in the backend which resolved this issue.

Hello. I have also encountered this issue with my Outlook.com email account following the 4.3 update. I can confirm that Sandesh's solution with replying to an invitation has solved the problem for me. Thanks!
What I went through to solve this.
I have the same device on the same network and this worked for me. You must have someone send you the appointment on the affected exchange account. In other-words, if you have a corporate account have someone else at that company send you the appointment, accept it and you should be off and running.
I had a running ticket open with Samsung and we tried all sorts of things.
For example.
We restarted the phone
Performed a soft reboot, that is just pull the battery while the phone is on.

I think that covers it all.

It works! I was so sick of using Android email v4.3. It was POS and often stuck my outgoing msgs in the outbox for days without me knowing. And it often was super delayed in pushing incoming msgs. Then it does not allow you to auto bcc to yourself by default. POS POS POS.
Heck, you can call Samsung and tell them to send you an appointment if you don't have access to a corporate account. It also works if I forward the message to my other screwed-up accounts. I think I'll keep those emails / appointments and reuse them for future problems.:good:

Samsung Note II
I had someone send me an appointment from outside of my messaging system and after I Accepted that appointment I was able to create new messages and Send them. I no longer get the popup message of "Retrieving account information" on messages trying to be sent.
Sure is a big bug for Samsung.
Old thread but still a problem... had it with Android 5.0.1 on my S4 and with an S6 port on the S4. Sending an appointment did not help (anymore).
I had really trouble finding the problem...: I use a Kerio Connect Server for my mails, contacts and calendar. It works as a Exchange Server and syncs via Active sync /exchange protocol. But in the protocol version 14.0. I had to force the server to use the active sync protocol 12.1. Then it was possible to answer the appointment. And everything works... Before the mobile and/or server copied the event in the local calendar, but deleted the email and did not send it...
Hopefully nobody else has this issue, otherwise here is the fix:
