I'm trying to add a calendar using a link to my SGN4, and my google account. I have managed to do this on my laptop with thunderbird and lightning, but I can't find any info on how to do this with the phone.
I've been told to:
1. Logged into the website and went to "My Stuff" and select "Subscribe to Calendar".
2. Highlighted the link it gave me and copied it (ctrl-C).
3. Went to calendar.google.com, and on the left side clicked the down arrow with the box around it to the right of "Other calendars".
4. Selected "Add by URL" and pasted the copied link into the box and clicked "Add Calendar".
5. You should see the calendar show up under "Other calendars" now. You can edit it's appearance (color, name, etc.) by clicking the down arrow to the right of the new calendar which shows up when you mouse over it.
6. With your phone, go to your Calendar app and go to "Manage calandars". For my S6, this is under "More" in the top right corner.
7. Slide the slider to "On" next to the Webhost calendar and it should show up.
When I get to step 4, my google account does not give me the option to "add calendar by url", or at least I can't see it. My link is this, well similar:
https://www.x.org/iCalendar.aspx?xxxxxxxxxxxx
I replaced my personal info with xs. but the rest is accurate.
Any help is appreciated, as this seems like a task that should take about 5min, and it's taking forever
TIA

Which calendar app are you using?

Stock calender app that came with phone
No one can help me with this at all? My phone recently updated to 6.0.1, and I still can't add my calender, or sync all of them to the phone.

Did you try the Google Calendar app on the Play Store? That's what I use and have no problem at all.
That's the calender app I have iirc.

Hallo,
I have setup a Gmail account. I can send/receive emails.
I would like to have a copy of sent emails saved on the phone.
After sending the email, it disappear from the outgoing mail folder, but a copy is not saved in the sent email folder.
Any clues ?
I'have already checked the "save a copy of messages in sent email" but doesn't work.
Thanks
1. Open to your Gmail inbox
2. Menu > Tools > Manage folders
3. Check "Sent Items" folder

Probably my email client is different, because in the menu options I can't find the tools tab or equivalent.
many thanks anyway

I think you may still be looking at HTC interface for your e-mail, not the WM one that has the menu options you need.
Once you go to the "Mail" tab in touchflo/sense, you have to hit the "Inbox" button first, that will take you to the WM e-mail interface...THEN hit the "Menu" button in the bottom right, then hit the little arrow at the bottom of the list that pops up so you can see the rest of the options, then you'll be able to get to tools>manage folders

did you scroll through the page when you hit the menu button? Tools tab is located @ the bottom of the page & won't show unless you scroll through the page.
That's the solution many thanks

Ooops, eehmm, here are those options. It looks like I'm not enough suited to the scrollable touch screen
Many thanks to everybody
Heya,
So I have some contacts on my phone that are not linked to their facebook accounts. Any idea how I can manually link them to their facebook accounts ?
Cheers
MJ
Go to people app. To get there, on your home screen, click on Phone, then on the bottom right hand corner you have a icon to click on. Click on it, then you have 4 or 5 icons along the bottom (forgot) and the go to the fry left icon.
In there find your contact, click on it.
On this new page on the top right hand corner you have this link icon, click on it, it will prompt you to select what you want to link. Then search and then link.
You must however have FB syncing at this stage or you want have any contacts to link
Thank you
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
The og epic did this no problem and I miss it. I have my FB set up thru social hub and have calendar sync checked off so what's the prob??

I used to have that working myself but then timezones on events were all messed up so I was forced to find another way.
So what I did was a bit of an end-around that uses your Google account's calendar. If you don't want to sync to Google calendar then this won't work.
If you do, go to your Facebook Events page. There's a link called "Export". That will pop up a message with a webcal://... link. Copy that link to your clipboard.
Then go into your Google calendar using a computer browser (sign in to the account you sync to your phone). Click the little dropdown triangle next to the "Other calendars" section on the left-hand sidebar and choose "Add by URL". Paste the URL that you copied from Facebook into the box and click "Add Calendar".
Now your Facebook events will be in your Google calendar.
If you go to Settings for the Calendar on your phone and select the "Calendars" option, you can pick and choose which of the Google calendars you want to sync. Each will show up as a separate calendar.
If you are obsessive about wishing people a happy birthday, you can also go to the "Birthdays" link under Events on Facebook and follow the same method to export a calendar of all of your Friends' birthdays.

I forgot about this thread lol. After removing all my synced accounts and restoring them manually I got my calendar back up. I guess restoring synced accounts from titanium doesn't do much of a good job.. But thanks for the info bcuz I didn't know I could export a calendar from FB!

I was wondering if anyone has discovered or knows of an app that will allow a document (word or pdf) to display as a widget or shortcut from the homescreen. Kinda like a mini binder. I have a bunch of schedules for work that I would like to display as a widget or something instead of having to open a viewer, search for the file, open and then close again.
I noticed two threads from 2012 with no answers; I'm hoping they were just forgotten about in the shuffle.

I just tried something on my 10.1 Tab Pro. In the "My Files" app, press down on a file until a marked checkbox appears. Then select the 3 dots menu on the top right. There is an option to "Add shortcut to home."
Unfortunately you can't select more than one file at a time though, you have to create the shortcut, then go back in and uncheck that one, and check another one, etc.
