Tapping Address in Calendar

On my HTC Desire I could tap the location field in my calendar view and it'll open up gmaps and go straight to the location. The Galaxy s2 doesn't seem to be able to do that, are there any mods or apps that will let you?

replacement calendar
Jorte Calendar does what you need.
It's a full calendar replacement. It's free in Marketplace...

RXP, I had the same issue and looked around a bit. It seems the Samsung calendar app simply doesn't have this functionality. Jorte, mentioned in the post above mine, works well. I have also tried Calengoo and Business Calendar and both work well. I am hoping that eventually someone will work out how to mod the Samsung app itself though, since none of the replacement apps match the Samsung ones for appearance, even when colours are tweaked.

Damn, that's incredibly frustrating. Might have to import an apk from my Desire!

RXP, did you have any success getting an alternative app working? I am still not happy with the alternatives I have tried so keen to find out what other people are using. The ideal solution would still be a tweak to the Samsung app so it fits in with the rest of the phone, but I must admit I wouldn't know where to start.

Alternatively, does anyone know how to get the standard google calendar app working on the S2? Searching turns up instructions for the Galaxy S but not the S2.
Thanks to anyone who is able to help.

Partial solution
I have been trying to find a solution for this and found a couple of things. It seems a lot of alternative calendar apps use the system calendar app for their event view, which means that with the samsung calendar in place you cannot get clickable links even with something like Calendar Pad installed.
I was able to get the cyanogen mod calendar apk working (looks like it is pretty much stock gingerbread) after backing up and uninstalling the touchwiz calendar with titanium backup. There is a graphical glitch on some views where a circle appears in the top left corner but other than that it seems to work well. it also allows alternative apps like calendar pad to load the standard android event view which has clickable links.
Unfortunately I can still not get this to work in the samsung app to keep a consistent look to the apps but thought I would post in case this helped anyone.

I was missing the same functionality, installed 'Business Calendar Free'
- works a treat

I had a look at business calendar and the functionality was there. I am just trying to find some way to get the same functionality in the touchwiz app to keep a consistent theme across the phone. Is there any way to make this change or a dummies guide to exiting the aol?

[Q] Calendar notifications - only last hour or so visible?

Hello all,
this is my first post here in Z1C section, just bought it a few days ago. I have an issue with calendar notifications or at least I think it shouldn't function like this. Before I was using HTC Desire Z with various custom roms (Cyanogen, Slim ROM, etc) and didn't face that issue
The problem is that if I have some events planned, after the timing of the event passes, notification disappears or maybe only last one is visible (earlier one becomes replaced by current)
While using Desire Z I could always see in notification bar information with all current and earlier calendar notifications (even if it was from for example 2 days earlier) and I could browse through them until I dismissed / edited / deleted (or whatever) any of them.
(one notification with current reminder, underneath a message that there are for example 5 more reminders)
Is this normal behaviour, do you also this issue? Is there any fix to have that functionality on Z1C or do you have any idea what could cause this? I'm using latest 14.3.A.0.757 compilation from Sony, phone is rooted.
I would like to stay (at least for now) with original firmware. If you use custom rom and do not face this issue that would be a major point for me to consider switching I guess
Thanks in advance for any input on this!
ps. I have also tried a few other apps including Google Calendar, Cal: Any.do, problem occurs with every one of them.

Expired events ARE visible, more than last one, they only are in dimmed grey text color.
Would be good to be able to modify those colors, but I can live with it as is.

It isn't a direct solution, but maybe you'll find this app useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2969613

Thank you for your input on the matter. I switched to Business Calendar few months ago, multiple notifications work flawless there. Also this is the best calendar app that I've found so far and I highly recommend it.

Which exactly?
There are more than one on Google Play.

Moto 360 notifcation bug, list your apps lets find app in common

Everyone including myself has the issue where once a day my phone stops getting notifications on my phone. It seems to be pretty wide spread but at the same time, some people don't have the issue at all. Which makes me think maybe it's a 3rd party app killing notification. So anyone who has the notification issue list all of your apps and maybe we will find one we all have in common.
To make this easy grab the app "List my apps" from the app store and edit the plain text template to remove the package name and just give you nice list of apps you can copy and paste .

Ok seeing how nobody is responding to my thread let me ask everyone this
How many people with the notification issue are running facer?

When I started having notification issues this was my app list:
- iHeartRadio
- Calculator
- UP by Jawbone
- Whoopee Wear
- Weather WatchFace
- Specialized WatchFace
- Planets WatchFace
- Swing by Swing Golf Scorecard
I then uninstalled all watchface apps and apps I don't use and reset Android Wear and the watch:
- iHeartRadio
- Calculator
- UP by Jawbone
- Whoopee Wear

Thanks for responding. But I Recommend you give a full android application list. Because other applications do push notifications such as Textra.

does acDisplay install on Android Wear? because i only listed my watch apps - which is where the problem is. The watch. Not the phone. At least not in my case.
In my case, the watch was receiving notifications, but wasn't alerting me of them.

I think this is why people wont respond because there are simply too many apps. Each person on here probably has 20-50 that are completely different from the next person. It would take a monumental effort to find a commonality between devices, something that should be Google's responsibility. It will simply be too difficult to filter through all the different apps people are using amongst each other.
The best attempt at self-diagnosis would be to just run your phone in a vanilla state and progressively installs apps one after the other over a period of several days to see if you can break the watch, then you would know which app is causing it. For instance the only apps I have really pushing notifications are Gmail, Google Messenger, and Exchange email. However even then, by just having Gmail connected I am going to get other things like Calendar updates, ToDo reminders, etc. Some things we may not even be able to disable so we'll never know where the culprit is.
Ultimately it shouldnt really be any of the apps since everything worked fine before the damn update to 5.x. Anyone know if it's possible to downgrade to 4.x?

If people would post using the app I mentioned above. I'll sort through and find a common denominator.

Widgets (calendar, weather, etc) not updating on screen.

Note 4 Dev ed.
Rooted but no roms, just Titanium freezing some bloat.
I have noticed that when I try to set a Calendar Widget for the date, or to get it to show me upcoming appts and such, the on screen widget stays on whatever was live at the time I create the widget. So I noticed today that the widget showed it was "WED Apr 15" which was when I created it. I installed a 3rd party calendar widget to try to get the appts to update and display and it did the same thing, only displaying appts from the day/week I added it.
Weather widgets do the same thing, I have tried the built in one as well as the Weatherbug widget and only if I actually launch the app do I get updated info.
Is there a setting I may have inadvertently turned off? What can I do to fix this?

Same issue here. Third party widgets don't work, won't update. Starbucks, sol calender, beautiful widgets, etc. I'm stock on lollipop.
Help?

Im using Ricks Rom Lollipop and third party Widgets are working perfectly (as is everything else), i used the one rom method for lollipop then did Ricks Rom and things have been perfect. I had issues with the one rom method (Bluetooth and other things), you might want to check into a new rom.

I don't have the development version. Stock retail verizon here.

Up? Hello... Anyone?

Samsung S9 Icon Frames Issue

Hi all,
New to the forum, so be gentle!
I just unpacked and configured my new S9+. One issue is that the Icon Frames-Icons only option only works with particular apps (this was not an issue with the S8). Specifically, I notice that certain apps (Google Voice, Google Calendar, Gmail) all have that ugly white border around them. I scoured the internet and couldn't find a fix. Does anyone have guidance on how to remove these borders? Thanks in advance!

Coming from the S7, I noticed the same issue: some icons are displayed as the setting imply, others are not. I didn't have this problem on my S7: all icons were borderless. I tried turning the setting on/off, restarting the phone with no success. It must be the themes app.

It is not the themes app and restarting the phone won't work.
This is a feature of Oreo. Most icons now follow certain design guides for symmetry including all google apps.

It might be so, but not all Google apps follow this new "feature" of Oreo. For example: Maps, Docs, Slides, Hangouts, Translate don't have the border.

Thanks, all. Is the only way to adjust the appearance to use something like Nova Launcher?

I'm seeing the same issue coming from a S7, doesn't look like my wife's S8 has the problem either.

I noticed this too, how can I restore the default icons, I was messing with the themes and lost them?
