Hi folks
Might want to sticky this one... many rely on the Google Calendar for business like myself and this Google Calender issue has been well documented all over the internet with no apparent fix, so it might be worth making this visible for people to see. There is a bug with Google Calendar that some of you may already know about. I have tested this fix noted below and it works flawlessly on two different HTC devices.
Issue:
When you sync Google Calendar via any android phone, it will only pull entries within a 30 day date range, anything older than 30 days will NOT be displayed.. The data in your Google web calendar will display calendar dates older than 30 days (mine goes back to 2003). This issue was raised with Google in 2009 and nothing has been done about, there is a fix though!!
Fix:
From home screen hit menu and go to settings
In settings go to Accounts and Sync
Turn off the background update and autosync.
Go back to main settings menu and go to Applications
Go into manage applications
Press menu button again and select Filter and then All.
Find Calendar and select it and delete all data (it will warn you about losing all files just hit OK).
Do the same for Calendar Storage.
Go back to main Settings menu and scroll down to Date and time.
Turn off Automatic and then set date to January 1st 2009 and hit set. (I tried to go all the way back to 2006 on my first try and it just kept rolling the date back to the current one)
Wait a second and make sure date remains set to the date you selected. Then select Date again and select your desired date (should be before first entry on calendar.)
Go back into Settings menu and select Accounts and sync.
Select the Calendar to sync and then go into calendar to ensure its all there.
Once it is you can then safely turn on auto time and date again and let all apps auto update in background.
Thanks to Wade for his help.

thanks, will give it a try. I must admit I never had any problem syncing my calendar since 2001 while using HTC roms. The problem only occurs using non-sense roms for which it would only sync the past 30 days.
Why does it affect non-sense roms only?

Android Calendar bug with Calendar Sync and end-of-month events

Thanks - that's odd cause I did not experience the problem on my hero and desire until I started using a non-Sense ROM a few weeks ago - i've had my full calendar since 2001 on both devices until a few weeks ago!
By the way the trick did not work - my exchange server refused to synchronise my calendar when i set a date that did not match the date on the server...

given the lack of interest of others for this thread it sounds like only a minority of users are experiencing the problem - as i wrote earlier, i did not experience it in 3 years of running Android on various devices until I rooted my desire and installed a non-sense froyo rom. My calendar went back to 2001, and I could sync them all with my android devices until recently.
btw I have not seen many threads about the problem on xda either....

Interesting... point.
I only noticed this after I rooted as well. I guess the people that experienced this in the links I provided above must have rooted their phones too. Anyway, this thread is here for those that need to reflect back on previous appointments that aren't visible.

Doesn't work on my I9000
Sync sign appear just for a few sec and then disappears. On Calendar Storage just 40K of data seems to be downloaded instead of several MB (full of events from 2004)...

i tried it but it won't work for me
any other solution?
i really need more than 30 days

The only fix is to install a HTC rom and you'll get all your appointments back... sorry for not being any more helpful. I must admit this is an issue I have experienced with all non-htc roms on all my devices, from the hero to the desire and my Asus eeepad transformer

did not work
Hi,
I have an HTC Sensation XE, but this trick did not work... any other idea?
Where the limitation is coming from ?
- the server side or device side.. if it is device side it could be that somebody would be able to implement something where we could chose the timeframe for sync (like the gSyncIt tool for outlook)
Thanks

Does also happen at devices which are not rooted
I'm tired of posts blaming rooting of devices for every bug in Android. My brand new (December) Galxay Note is not rooted (yet) and it does not sync events from November. However, many missing basic features (e.g. a bitwise backup of the internal flash, like nandroid) in Android make living without rooting very dangerous: On my old, rooted Milestone 1, the system corrupted itself several times, and I could restore with Nandroid. Many (payed) apps after some time destroyed themselves with "updates", and I could roll back with Titanium.

CalenGoo to the rescue
While I love a technological fight as much as the next guy, this syncing issue with Google Calendar and Android phones is a waste of flipping time.
Yes I know that Google's calendar sync works for some people, some of the time.
Yes, I know theirs is built in... and used to work... and should work... and Google is being a butt for not getting it resolved.
But sorry -- it's time to get back to work.
Following the suggestion of a post earlier in this thread, I installed CalenGoo and all this [email protected] is far, far behind me.
Installed, configured and synced perfectly in about 5 minutes.
I don't work for CalenGoo, don't know anyone who does -- don't get nuthin' for mentioning it. But give it a whirl -- and when you see how quickly it works, you'll be triply pi$$ed at Google.
(f-it -- I'm to new to post URLs, so just search Calengoo in the store)

Thank you so much man, this is even happening in top recent roms like [AllianceROM][6.0][26.01]LS8

Worked on my rooted Note 3
Thanks!!! This worked on my rooted Note 3 but can not get it to work on my Note Edge. When syncing NE it gives the red indicator failed to sync.

It worked, PARTLY. All my Google calendar entries from the beginning (2009) are now synced with my phones. However, when I do a search for particular entries it cannot only find entries beginning November, 2017 not anything earlier.

Ok...so what's the deal with the calendars

I've been hearing that using Gmail/hotmail will allow you to see all your calendars. On the contrary, I've also heard that you can only sync your primary calendar.
So what is it?

I know! So I'd like some clarification.

You can sync multiple calendars to your device, these are aggregated on the phone and displayed using different colors in the calendar view. It will also allow you to reschedule if two (or more) entries from different calendars clash.

from each mail service that you might have only the primary calendar will be displayed.
i.e hotmail you have calender 1 and calender 2
gmail you have calender 1 and calender 2
wp7 will display both gmail and hotmail calenders but will only show calender 1 from both services..

so, i guess. my next device will be an android, again. i hoped for wp7. but for me, that is a killer argument against it.

The devices aren't even out yet and we don't have full information. Relax for a couple weeks and get the complete picture before you jump the gun.

We already now that. From microsoft:
Note
You can sync only one calendar per account. If you have multiple calendars associated with an account, your phone will recognize which calendar is the primary calendar and sync that one.​ Source: I cannot put links, but in the windows phone webpage, look for calendar faq
And also some people have noticed this some time ago as you can see here:
Windowsphonesecrets look for "Calendar as the Windows Phone simplicity poster child"
I was going to buy Htc Mozart the 21st of October but now I'm thinking about it. I hope they fix it but the same happens with other windows mobile phones, 6 6.1 6.5 ....

yes, but even microsoft puts on their support-page that only the first calendar is supported. I can choose a new phone bei november and i guess, that they won't patch it until then. (if they ever will)

It's ridiculous and USELESS.
Like most things on WP7, "Settings" usually contains ON or OFF.

Same story as the iPhone when it came out and it didn't stop them from adding all the advanced stuff later on as the platform grew.
If you need all those advanced options, wait. Microsoft have made a "business oriented" smartphone OS for years, they know people want these things and they will add them when they think it's time to.
I'm sure they're working the asses off for the very first update which will hopefully bring some of the features people have been ranting about.

That's hopefully what the Jan update will do. We know that Microsoft want to take back as much is the mobile market as possible and so they know that they need to add certain features for people to want the phones.

Calendar Sync
Hi I have got an outlook 2010 and installed therein my po3 mail account. How can I sync that calendar with my wm7 device? Before with wm6 system I used the active Sync..
Thanks

to the users who already have a wp7:
1) is it possible to use more than 1 google account? so, at least, i could use the calender from my wife.
2) is there/will there be 3rd-party calendar-applications who allow more than just the main calendar from 1 source?

To be fair Kik is a great alternative but then convincing your friends to use something other than WhatsApp isn't an easy task. So really this is good news.

Samsung ChatOn will be better. It'll have much better file/media sharing and social functionality. Samsung just need to get the App out the Door. I still know people who refuse to create a Facebook account. ChatOn would be perfect for those people.
Never used Kik before. They had a Huge Security hole on WP7 and they took way too long to fix that.
WhatsApp is a lot more popular in Europe than in the US, though.

For when your friends are away from their PCs:
If they have an Android phone: Facebook chat is a bit rubbish and WLM isn't used by most (both are done via third party android apps)
If they have a Blackberry: Neither of FB Chat or WLM are really avaliable
Both sets of these users use WhatsApp a lot.

^ I don't have a FB account, but my lady does. Her FB chats are integrated in with her texts, just like all the other social stuff is integrated in her contacts app. She loves it. So it can't be too rubbish.
Oh yeah she has a Android.

maybe i'm wrong but didn't blackberry have an official microsoft version of wlm?

I don't understand the tweet. I mean, I understand, but don't have idea of what have to do with WhattsApp in WP7 :/

The tweet came from the official Whatsapp account, and mentioned the popularity of mangoes. You're supposed to put 2+2 together, and interpret it to mean that Mango has their attention right now.

RIM has their own IM apps for WLM, Yahoo, AIM, and some others that goes through their network, pushed and everything.
Facebook chat, I don't think so.

The biggest failure of WhatsApp is that you have absolutely no control over who else can see taht you have it installed on your phone if you use the program. Also, if you change your phone number or relagate your phone to a backup other people can have multiple entries in their WhatsApp contact list. It's really messy from that standpoint.
I had to contact them to get phone numbers removed from their DB because of that. It's a real PITA.
It's like getting a BB and having every other BB list in your phone's contact list automatically be able to see your PIN and send you messages, unless you block them. Ugh...

That's great news... in between testing a bunch of new smartphones (some are Android based), I've grown used to WhatsApp and have quite a few friends with it.

I would definitely agree with that which is why I think KiK is superior but convincing people to drop WhatsApp is a lost cause. Having the app checking your contact list is considered to be its biggest feature and the reason it has more users. I don't see how hard it can be to enter a username once for each one of your contact.

Correct.
That's why I'm waiting for ChatOn. Hopefully it will come to WP7 but since I've been using the Vibrant as my daily driver and the HD7 as a quasi-ZuneHD it won't matter if it comes to Android first
The main issue I've had with WhatsApp and Kik is reliability and message delivery speed. This is more pronounced with Kik. They were really really fast at first, but as more people started using it their service has degraded. WhatsApp is more reliable but I still get stints where messages fail to send for several minutes and I don't recieve messages people send, or get them way after they send them... For hours at a time...
I really like what Samsung is doing with ChatOn, though. They need to get the Android app out fast so I can try it out.
File Transfer in the integrated Mango Chat protocols is too limited, IMO.

chat apps............meh.....

Nice have been waiting for this quite some time.
The built in live + fb messenger is not sufficient since you HAVE to be online to send/receive messages. It has chat only not integrated messages (and really why?). Also it drains the battery so quickly that is kind of useless.
It does not let me be offline for live and be online for fb. And if somebody send me offline msgs, i have to read them in the fb app which is a pain. Cant wait for the mango update of the fb app and be able to pin the inbox to the start screen.
Lets hope MS does some improvements to the native support of offline msgs in the next version.

Drains your battery? I've actually had better battery life with Mango, my only gripe is Zune freezing with downloaded marketplace songs, but I think the chat is amazing, would have loved an inbox too though.
& did I see somebody say nobody uses WLM?
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express

Another tease, it's definitely coming. By the way, Joe Belfiore also retweeted the initial tweet so no doubt is allowed. For all we know they might get it out as soon as Mango is released.

Rooted and debloated but cannot add new contacts

Hey guys. As the title says I cannot add new contacts from texts I've received since debloating. Not sure which process is causing this issue. I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue.
Will see about posting the frozen processes later.

I didn't realize until after I read this thread that I also disabled that function. Good advice Namuna. I think I may have it fixed. Hope OP gets it solved.
edit: Since we're on the topic of contacts and such... What exactly is the "AT&T address book"? Why can't I import my contacts from my SIM card without choosing AT&T address book or google services? Does this mean AT&T would then have all of my contacts?

I'm thinking this is their new service to keep your contacts for u in the case of emergency, just like wat sprint n verizon r doing since they do not have a sim card to save contacts to. Instead of having to save your contacts to a gmail account, which many "common" users might not have any idea dat it syncs with the phone, at&t provides the service of migrating the contacts to a new phone just by placing the sim in a new phone n activating it. This is what I assume though, might be totally incorrect. lol.
edit: Btw, I think if you freeze/delete AT&T address book, u also will not be able to add new contacts to the phone.

Yeah I followed some guy's list of things he froze/disabled and one of them was the WMsync... something rather. That is the AT&T Address Book and it didn't show up in the options to import from SIM. I've since enabled it and it's there again and I'm also able to add contacts.
I just thought it was weird that I can't save the contacts directly to the phone. Is the AT&T Address Book just like a cloud sync?

I guess you can say so about AT&T address book.
What do you mean save directly to the phone though? Won't you want it to sync to your Gmail acc directly so in case anything ever happens to the phone, you won't lose your contacts?
Here are the options available on where to save your contacts:

Well I don't know how I feel about my contacts information being on a cloud server. What I've done for awhile is use Windows Contacts on my computer. It's pretty nifty and works great with an Android device since you can drag and drop.

Problem solved. ATT Address Book was frozen. Catch is I went through and defrosted each app individually but didn't restart the phone. Defrosted ATT Address Book and restarted and good to go. Thanks aquariuz23!

I understand how u feel about cloud servers at one point, I felt very insecure about having my information somewhere where other people with power can easily access them on a whim. But then I thought to myself, if someone really wants the info, with enough power they can get it as long as we are connected to the "network" aka the internet. We have to be totally void of connectivity to the internet to avoid having our info in other people's hands.
Reminds me of something I saw when I watched Battlestar Galactica; how Galactica had to be completely and utterly network-less in order to avoid any possibility of being hacked and accessed by the Cylons (Cybernatic Lifeform Node). The moment they networked their infrastructures, they immediately got hacked, and had to rely on firewalls to defend themselves lol. Just a side story it was a great series too

You need copy these files in /system/apps

Another question about the cloud servers. Would you guys recommend the AT&T Address Book or the Google account thing? And why did you choose it?
I'm trying to download my contacts into the car Bluetooth, but it wont recognize any contacts. I'm guessing that's due to them not being saved to the phone.
I'm wondering if its something to do with rooting and debloating. I could swear it was working before that, but I can't figure out what I would have disabled to cause the problem.

What's up with Message+ texting as default and...

So Sammy or Verizon made this the default texting app. I'm not liking that I can't even set an individual text alert sound per contact. I even went into contacts, added the extra field "Message Tone" and selected a unique one for given contact but always defaults to same stupid sound for all texts from all contacts. doh
Do I have to go 3rd party app to get what I want?

Nope. I disabled that crap and am using the real message app. It's there...

Same here. disabled and using samsung messages

Thanks for the replies. Didn't even realize it was a damn Verizon bloat app. Going to go back to "Chomp SMS" I think.

I think it has some great features. such as being able to text on wifi if there is no signal. if someone send you a link it gives you a preview of the site before the need to click on it. it also handles pictures that have been sent back and forth very nicely. I could go on but check it out.

I was just going to say this. The vzw app is really nice. I have it on my Note 12.2 tablet too. Wifi texting is awesome. It's also integrated with glympse, which is so incredibly useful. my wife and I use it all the time.
Just because it's made by Verizon doesn't mean it's some hellishly crappy battery sucking phone melting app

I started using it last week. I discovered it by accident. It allows me to install it on my computers, my N7, and my phone. I can text from any of these devices and receive texts on all of them.
It is missing some of the cool functionality of the Samsung stock app, but it is definitely worth having. It's kind of like what Apple did with their "being able to text from phone, iPad, or Mac" thing.

Thats kind of cool.

If it works then I could stop using MightyText to text from my computer.

Cool will check this out, thx! I use handcent and pay $9.99 for the gold plan to backup all my mms/sms and can use on ipad, windows to text a year. Will check out verizons app more!
: )

Reporting back and it isnt the prettiest or hardly customizable at all but it works and honestly no complaints. Putting Textra and Mightytext sms app sync on the backburner while I try this out.

I installed the update in the google play market for this app and it allows much more customization with fonts, colors, backgrounds, list types, chat bubbles.
First Verizon App I like and use lol. Saying it here.:good:

Not sure if I had applied the update or not. Can you tell me if it allows individual per contact notifications assignments?

It allows individual sounds for different people.
Other than that its texting that works through wifi and my pc.

OK, that desktop app is pretty cool. On my iMac (OSX Yosemite) it wants access to my contacts, then my phone number, then sent me a text with a code that I popped into the app and wham! All my texts are now on my desktop app. Thanks for the heads-up!
BTW - I am still using the default Android text app on my phone and not the Verizon Message+ and I still seem to get the full functionality, so you can have the best of both worlds. One caveat - My Android contacts were not shared on my iMac so some of the desktop app messages show only the phone number and not the contact name. Looks like it is time to synchronize!
:good:

Wow, what a surprise that this app is actually worthwhile. I'm not sure I'm curious enough to stray away from Hangouts though, I get a lot of use out of that app. If only verizon would allow wifi texting to 3rd party apps.
Is it a battery/cpu hog? I'm hesitant to believe this is a well constructed app

I've been using it since yesterday. I haven't noticed any battery drain from using it.

Is the "cloud" texting intuitive enough to justify jumping ship from hangouts? I'm really torn here.

Honestly. Just use it for a whole day.
Only disadvantage I see is that its not as polished and if your friends are using hangouts then it might not work.
