how to create/schedule appointments through google now - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is it possible to verbally schedule or put in appointments through Google now. I know that I can make alarms, but I need to put in appointments into my calendar. Every time I turn on now and say' schedule meetings appointment for tomorrow at 7 pm'' but it just does a Google search. Also is there a Google now guide or user guide I can look through for all the different commands.

I was wondering the same thing.. If someone could tell us if this is possible, it would be appreciated
Thanks!

I believe it's there when you set an event in your calender's.
Also you must be sure your event are on same account.
for example you are using [email protected] on you google now and calender.
then that event should show up in google now.
hope that helps.

Nope, my accounts are the same on NOW and calendar... yes, if i schedule a meeting in calendar it shows up in NOW, but not vice versa... I have the same issue as OP with trying to verbally schedule a meeting in NOW. Pretty much anything I say in NOW just does a gsearch...

It's been a while since I set it up, but you have to go to your calendar on the web and somewhere in settings there is a checkbox for events. Then you can send your calendar a voice text and it creates the appointment

Add Calendar entries: To add calendar entries, you first need to log on to your Google Calendar account at calendar.google.com Then click on the gear icon and “Calendar Settings.” From there, click on the “Mobile Setup” tab and follow the on-screen instructions. After you have entered the verification code sent to your phone, create a phone contact named “Calendar” and set its phone number as “48368.” Once that is done, you can use Voice Actions to create calendar items using the following format: Send text to calendar [event name] on [day] at [time]. For example: Send text to calendar “dentist appointment” on Friday at 11 AM. You will receive a text message confirming the addition of a calendar item if successful.

Sounds like a lot to do just to add a simple calendar entry especially in this day and age.

This is retarded. I can't schedule an appointment verbally. I tried it on my friends s3 with voice and it did it right on the first time. Its embarrassing.

Google now is great... But this issue get me down. It's plain simple, but the Gnow doesn't do this.
Other thing that I've noticed: if you ask, for example, "who is the president of united states" it answers correctly: Barak Obama. But if I ask: "who is Barak Obama?" that little thing show me web results only. Isn't that weird?

I just use S-Voice to set appointments, Google for everything else. S-Voice works well for setting calendar entries. I just say "Appointment tomorrow at noon, pick up Jessica", and it sets a calander event for 12-1p titled "pick up Jessica". It gets it right about 90% of the time.

"When is my next meeting?" opens web search. It should show when, what and where is your next appointment...

From Svoice, just say "What's on my calendar" to get your upcoming events or appointments. Worked for me. It even told me of the upcoming phases of the moon, if you have it enabled in calender.

You may thank Apple for the loss (hopefully temporary) of "unified search". It is part of the current patent litigation in California. 4.01 and newer wiped that out. If your friend's S3 still does that the carrier just hasn't disabled it yet. Unlocked S3s got disabled directly by Samsung recently as well.

I understand what you're saying, but I think it has to do with your former question having only one definitive answer - while the latter question could technically have unlimited answers.

S-Voice is such a blatant copy of Siri, it should be deactivated on all Sam**** devices. Google Now at least works in a different and innovative way (being location aware and all).

All you have to do is say, "calendar (event) on (date) at (time)... And your good to go

"When is my next meeting?" works now :victory:

They recently updated the Google Search app. It added the feature to add meetings to your calendar and check what your next appointment is (as well as open apps). However, I have had on & off luck with it actually scheduling appointments.
I once said: "schedule appointment for tomorrow at 7 pm for [event name]". It properly recognized what I said (the text appeared correctly), but it added the appointment on my calendar for two days later at 9 am...
I'll try the phrase mentioned above starting with "calendar..."

Exchange Email Client

Thinking about getting the phone - but just have one question as this has been holding me back for a while now from getting an Android phone.
Could anyone confirm if folders and sub folders for TouchWiz email Exchange client are all on one level or have a tiered structure as per Outlook ie:
Folder 1
¦
------ Sub Folder 1
Thanks.
That woul be a very important information for me too!
Looking forward to detailed answers!
TIA
+1
Thanks!
I can't confirm the folder structure but can confirm that Activesync works.
Thanks!
Could you confirm some other things, too?
- bi-directional contacts sync
- bi-directional calendar sync
- bi-directional sync of recurring appointments
- html mails
- confirming appointments
Hmmm. Folder structure depends on the view you look at it in. It shows all my Exchange folders in a list in the main view (there's a quick dropdown to change folder) but in folder view, it shows in hierarchy.
Bi-directional contacts and calendar have been working since the original SGS and all synced to my phone fine. Not sure about recurring appointments but it syncs all of mine from Exchange to the phone fine. HTML mail works fine too (would be a bit ****ed up if it didn't!). Never tried confirming appointments so I can't say anything about that.

Thanks for the information. That's interesting because the default Android email client on 2.3.3 does not seem to include an option for folder viewing hierarchical folders...
I'm on my first full day so can report on this a bit now.
I'm trying out the stock client with an ES 2010 server. Some nice surprises:
- Full folder structure accessible
- Server search
- Task sync (!)
- Decent interface (don't love the dark background for the email list...)
- Syncs faster than my Atrix running Froyo
- Nice little widget icon showing unread emails
- it's got a crazy 2-pane inbox view w/preview when in landscape mode (think tablet view or desktop Outlook) - this is really cool!
- Out of office setting
On the downside, the email list widget sucks - it doesn't scroll and only shows 3 most recent (not even unread) emails so that's a bit of a disappointment. Also the calendar widgets are nice but they're too large and not resizable. Thankfully Calwidget works fine.
I'm going to try to live with it. I have a paid TD license and I had gotten used to their widgets on my Atrix, but I suspect stock is more battery friendly.
Thanks for the info. Would you mind posting some screenshots of the email client. I used Froyo, and I can't even do a search on my emails. I ended up using TD as well. Do we have search now? Is there pinch to zoom on emails? If not, can we resize font size? and How? sorry too many questions.
Thanks in advance.

Here you go...I've been using it for a few days now and NO need to employ TD which is saying a lot for a native Exchange client! The only thing missing is Notes sync which I can live without (don't change notes that often and can just drag them into Evernote).
The client actually blows me away...to answer your question, we have search as you'll see in the screenshots, as well as pinch to zoom, font resizing in both the Inbox view as well as the message body. Let me know if you have any other q's.

No options there for the "calendar folders" so I don't think so. Then again, I don't have any sub-folders so I can't be 100% sure.

Actually I do not work with sub-folders in calendars, but I have several calendars in Outlook under the main-folder, that are synced to exchange.
Can you try to add a new calendar in outlook and see if you can sync that second calendar to the phone via exchange?

Hey Thanks a lot....
One more question. From the screenshot, I can see the search is "search server" and not local search.. is that true, because if so, then I need internet service to search and also it would be slower.
Thanks again
Hi can anyone check if attachments can be opened if they are received as part of a calendar invite? Say a pptx or something similar...

DIY features: Integrate Twitter Contacts and live tiles

Mistaken post. Conversation has moved to figuring out Twitter integration in the latest mango release.
But Twitter contacts DO integrate with people. What are you talking about?
You're telling me you can link a twitter handle to a person in your people hub? And then pin that tile to the start screen and see their facebook and twitter updates?
I am not certain whether tweets show on the tile or not, but yes you can link them.
Twitter contacts only show up if you hit the search button on your contact list or on the list that shows up when you hit link>choose a contact.
Give it a try.
No luck. Maybe I missed a setting somewhere. Can you post a screenshot showing them linked?

Can't do screenshots in Mango to my knowledge, but here.
I'm not using 7661, I updated to the latest beta this morning. And that is very cool, hopefully it gets worked out on my end. To your knowledge, can you pin a contact to the start screen and see their tweets? Do mentions show on your Me tile?
A much easier way to integrate...
go to settings > applications > People > filter my contact list > check twitter.
there you go. you've got twittered. ;-) then you can go around linking like normal (in case it's needed.)
Unfortunately I've done that and still no luck =)
I wonder if it's a location- based thing. I read somewhere (on Twitter I believe) that it is against Twitter's ToS somehow to integrate the contacts with one's phone. So maybe the ToS vary by region? Worth looking into. I'm unable to see my Twitter contacts and I'm in the UK.
Another possibility: something is wrong with the integration. I have also seen people logging into live.com and managing the twitter integration from there; if I try that, my Facebook shows up but twitter is nowhere to be seen...
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I'm beginning to think it has to do with the frequency of tweets and whether or not you've replied to one of their tweets from the phone..
I can see a re-tweet from last week that one of my friends did, but I can't find her twitter contact to link.. I have a co-worker I've been tweeting back and forth with and testing things and he shows up.. everyone showing up has tweeted something since I started following them.

Possibly. WithinRafael tweeted earlier today;
Curious why Twitter isn't integrated with #wp7 Contacts? Blame Twitter. (It's against their ToS/AUP)

Here in Australia, I have people's tweets showing in 'What's New', but they're not people. Twitter is selected in 'Filter my Contacts'. I'm also wondering if it's because I'm too popular
I currently have ~7,200 followers and follow ~3,000 people... maybe it's smart enough to ignore them all?
He later clarified that he was talking about it from an API perspective.
It is possible to link people you are following to your existing contacts.. I've done it.. but if I follow a new person, it doesn't seem to update automatically..
edit -
I deleted my twitter account from the phone and re-linked it to windows live by adding it to the phone again.. after it finished, I had the new person I had followed in my contact list.
Hopefully this is a glitch in this version and is fixed in RTM..
I live in the US and I have Twitter setup on my WP7, and there is no way to link anything to a contact... I just tried removing and the Twitter account and setting it up again, nothing... hmm.
same here, I have some twitter integration, but no twitter contacts; no linkedin contacts either

I can confirm that mentions show up on the Me tile. Not sure about pinned contacts, but I suspect those work too.
Yes, recent tweets show up on the live tile if you pin one to the start screen.
Hopefully Microsoft gets this sorted out before the mango update goes out to customers and new devices are sold.. it should work consistently and easily.. which it does not now.

STEPS:
1. Go to your EVENTS page on FB.
2. Scroll down to the bottom and look for where it says "Past Events · Birthdays · Export".
3. Click on the Bithdays link.
4. Scroll down to the bottom and look for where it says "Past Events · Export Birthdays"
5. Click on the Export Bithdays link.
6. Copy the URL on the bottom of the Pop Up.
7. Go to your Windows Live Calendar and click on Subscribe.
8. Paste the URL in the "Calendar URL" box.
9. Enter Calendar name (Whatever you want to call it).
10. Click on the "Subscribe to calendar" button.
11. It will go through it's motions and then the next time your phone syncs w/ Windows Live your FB's birthdays will be in your calendar

Why not add the tutorial in the first place instead of just asking if people want a tutorial? Then, even if people decide it's not necessary, those who have your same experience will have something to reference.

I think it might be that our Windows Live / Facebook integration always synched birthday calendars, its just that pre-Mango there was only support for primary calendars.
Thank you for this I was looking for a way to do this! I noticed that I had never logged into my calendar on live.com once I did and set my timezone and did a sync it found all of my birthday's from facebook!
To add your facebook birthdays without this export import thing above (only Mango):
1. Login at live.com -> Calendar
2. Click "New" and "Birthday Calendar" (or something like that in english)
3. Click "Save"
4. Resync your live account on WP7
Now all facebook birthdays are there. Be sure to add your facebook account to your live account before.
To remove just delete (at live.com) or disable (at WP7) the birthday calendar.
is not working
BTW, is it the only sync is the default calendar? and you can't put the calendar to default? CMIIW.

Hmmm, I didn't have to set it as my default. You know what, I'm using Mango and now that I think about it, I should have put that in the title.
If you're using Mango, then all you have to do it subscribe to the FB calendar link that you copied from the FB site. In your phone calendar, makes sure it's selected to sync w/ the FB calendar and you should be good.

Unable to add facebook to contacts

Using Verizon 4.02, when ever I try to add facebook to "accounts and sync" under "accounts" under "people" it doesnt do anything. In short I am unable to add facebook for contacts. Even w twiter contacts syn it is saying "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly." Anybody having similar problems?
You can't tell me you've searched, because if you had, you'd know this is 100% known. Facebook isn't playing ball with Google's requirements to be able to have contacts sync in AOSP Android.
Use an app like HaxSync to get Facebook contacts sync.
Twitter is also well known. Its Twitter's app not being updated properly for ICS.

sorry, must be irritating when people start new threads for old stuff, I only scanned first three pages of forums, havenot used search function as I am not good with it. Once contacts are in with Haxsync can one link them with existing contacts so they use the latest facebook pictures?
bought Haxsync works great, thanks for pointing towards right direction. Only thing missing is a 4G toggle, where 4g automatically kicks in anytime phone is connected to electric outlet and off when off electric juice.

There are apps like Tasker and Locale that do that and many other things. But you could always just get a toggle widget.

It is. The thing is that FB contact sync has been broken since the later stock AOSP 2.3 builds for the Nexus S. This isn't something new.
I used to be confused over this problem too but Google told me what happened. So I used HaxSync and it worked fine. However as a perfectionist I decided not to continue using it and flashed a ROM instead (not solely for this reason of course).

App to add email content to calendar

In this amazing world of Android, is there not an app that can decipher an email and add the appt to calendar? For example, I get a lot of emails advising me of the practice schedule for the coming week or two, the email has days and times and locations. Is it too much to ask to have those times automatically added to my calendar? I mean Google now goes far enoughthat it will track parcels or flights, is this not the next logical step? Is tedious to manually add them from each email. I would expect some kind of visual confirmation where you could edit any minor details of course. Any dev who could come up with this would clean up! Unless there's something like this on the market that I've overlooked?

Just a quick update, after checking, it appears that the problem is only with Gmail? If I forward these Gmail messages to Hotmail or others, the time in the body of the email is highlighted, allowing me to tap it to create a date on Samsung calendar. I have to fill in the details but that's what I'm talking about!
I guess I could create calendar date verbally with Google now. Anyone have a better way? Gmail is my main email.

Argh! I guess you mods can delete this thread. Apparently, if I open Gmail using the stock email app I can achieve what I wanted. Thanks me!

found your thread by searching the same content. I found this helpful because i have the same problem like yours, i.e. too many emails with appointment and schedule which i hardly manually enter into my calendar. switching apps also takes too many steps to complete. Ive never use Stock Email that came with the device (i am on Samsung galaxy note 3 now). Let me try see if it works. However, I found stock email app is a bit slow receiving emails, that's why ive never used it Did you find any other app that does the job? i also looking for an app which can remind me to reply emails later, because some emails come, i skim through it and will reply later when i have time. But sometimes i forget to reply, and very hard to find the mail again you have any solution for this?
cheers
