Sorry this isn't really particular to the Lgog but wasn't sure where else to post it
Is there a way to link labels from my Gmail account to my calendar? I want to see from looking at the calendar if I had emails from a certain label on a given day.

So it seems like most of the sense (which i LOVE so far) widgets and programs seem to only integrate with the email app not really the gmail.. which is what i use primarily...
Is there any way to change this that i am not seeing??
TIA
Well you could setup GMail for POP or IMAP access and use the built-in HTC mail client, but I don't know of any GMail specific Sense app.
If you want to use the Sense mail widgets you will gave to set up your Gmail account as an Exchange account in the HTC mail app. Using it as an Exchange account will allow you to still get push email; Google has instructions on how to do this, just...well, Google it
I am thinking that since the Desire and Evo are sort of the same, could you just set up your Gmail account through the "Accout & Sync" setting?
This is what I did and I get PUSH notifications

Hmmm.. I thought about that, but really need the push mail not just pop for every 15 min or so.

When you set it up through there, i am assuming it is going to your gmail app, not the "mail" app in which case you would get push notifications, but it wouldnt work through the sense widgets and apps (just the default android gmail app)... IMO

Another Sense Question..
Also.. here is another "sense" question for someone...
I have contacts in my phone and they are "linked" with contacts from facebook... BUT the information from facebook doesnt sync with my gmail contacts. Is there a setting that i am not seeing that will do this?
For example, in a contact, i see that their birthday was pulled from facebook, and i can view it when viewing the contact card, but not when i go to the contact section on the web when looking at gmail....
Does anyone know how to get shared calendar function working on the desire, i can see my own gmail calendar and enteries but dont have a clue how to view someone elses shared calendar. Is this possible or must you add the other users account (Something which i dont want to do).
I got this working by sharing my calendar with the other person on Google Calendar - they can then see my appointments - though we both use Jorte on our Desires.
Hi
Can't get my email to appear in the messages widget on motorola defy (only had this phone for a week). Only get a notfication image of new mail in the status bar. Is the messages widget only for texts?? or should you be able to read your new mail via the widget?
Thanks

Do you use Gmail app from Google? You have to add your e-mail account to Motoblur. Also disable original Gmail sync or you'll get notifications twice I think.
[edit] That's if you use a ROM with Motoblur, I don't know if there's e-mail support in deblur ROMs.
Hi
I thought I had added it, my google account appears in the accounts as " other account" below the motorblur account with all the twitter, facebook etc.
Have I got it in the right place?
( you can tell this is my first smartphone )
Do you have Accounts or other apps from Motoblur like Social Networking? Stock Motorola software is different for various regions and might come with or without social features called as Motoblur. If you don't have it then Messages widget works with regular text messages only, I think.
No I don't have accounts for any of those social networks like twitter etc.
So I suppose I am stuck? And won't be able to have the e-mail displayed within the widget?
Thank you very much for your replies and help though.
I've figured it out and now get email in the messages widget. I hadn't realized there are TWO seperate accounts one for G-mail and one for E-mail. It's quite confusing for a smartphone virgin, but what a cool toy
Hi all,
I've been using Business Calendar for a while. It synchronises my gmail calendar and also my facebook events/birthdays. This is really useful because I don't need to put an event into my calendar after I've already accepted it.
Since switching to a custom ROM (JellyTime), Business Calendar does not seem to recognise my facebook account on the phone so I cannot get it to synchronise the facebook events. The instructions say that it should recognise any calendars on your phone but that does not happen.
Does anyone know how to get facebook events to synchronise with the calendar?
Thanks.
Any thoughts from anyone? Alternatively, does anyone know if you can get the Google calendar to sync with Facebook events?
Thanks.

From Facebook you can export events and birthdays as calendar links that can then be added to your Google calendar. They will then appear as additional calendars on your phone.
I forget exactly how to do it in Facebook, but I think you go to events, click on settings, and then you have the export option. Google it for more details.
Good luck!

Thanks Zamula - your way worked! Just one point of clarification, rather than exporting, you need to right click on the link and copy the address. You can then add it as a Google calendar under Other Calendars. In Business Calendar you can then add the calendars (1 for birthdays, 1 for events) to synchronise them. So far so good, the last thing is whether the calendars auto update. I'll be able to tell that when I'm invited to a new event!
I have two Google accounts on my phone right now. One is my primary gmail account that I use for everything, and the other is for school emails and everything related to academic work.
What I did this semester is I put my schedule in my school gmail account, instead of in my regular account like I had been. I'd like to know if there is a way to pick different accounts and display the two accounts on two separate widgets. I'd prefer to use the stock android widget as that has never given me issues although I realize I can always download a Calendar app and have this problem solved. However it would be nice to not have to download anything and keep the way my home screens look uniform. It would also be nice because the stock calendar widget has a native lock screen widget that looks and works really well.
Basically, is there a setting in the stock calendar widget to select just one gmail account per widget? Or should I just download a calendar widget from the Play Store and do things that way?
